in to attach that money in a suit for damages by the chauffeur."

It is time to turn from too disagreeable a picture. The four roughs
first hired by Fred Radwin were sent to the penitentiary for a year
each.

Hodges, in consideration of furnishing useful state's evidence, was
sentenced to the penitentiary for two years and a half for his share
in the automobile plot.

Radwin, for conspiracy in setting on the roughs, was sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary; for his part in the automobile affair five
years more were added. It will be a long time, yet, ere Radwin will
breathe the air as a free man.

John C. Rhinds vanished completely. True, one returned traveler reported
having seen Rhinds at Nice, performing paltry services for American
tourists in return for paltry "tips."

Mrs. Rhinds and her daughter, having decided to make the best of matters,
are now living quietly and happily in a western town. They believe
John C. to be dead.

The mystery of that torpedo has never been officially cleared. In naval
circles, however, there is no doubt whatever felt as to the guilt of
Rhinds and Radwin; but it is also felt that both have been suitably
punished for their dastardly conduct. The three Rhinds torpedo boats
were seized, under court orders, and sold to satisfy the claims of
creditors of the Rhinds Company.

The chauffeur recovered twenty thousand dollars damages through the
attachment of Radwin's funds and the subsequent civil suit. Besides
which, after a few months, the chauffeur had practically recovered from
his painful injuries.

David Pollard was out of hospital in three weeks. In twice that length
of time he felt as well as ever.

Later on, the Pollard Submarine Boat Company received from the United
States Government orders for eighteen torpedo boats in all, the "Benson"
and "Hastings" included. One of the new ones, under this order, was
named the "Somers." The Navy has accepted all three names, and the
boats are now known in the service by these names. Later on the fortunes
of the three submarine boys were materially increased by these sales.

One of the first pleasures experienced by David Pollard, after his
discharge from hospital, was that of joining the rest of the Farnum
party in dining with the members of the naval board and the gunboat's
officers in the messroom of the "Oakland."

In the course of a little speech after dinner Captain Ma
