TT BROUGHT LUCK.
The Story of the Heart OF Carrastara
Told.
A Wierd Pen Picture by One OF the
Foremost of Modern News
paper Writers.
by Stevens Vail. ]

Old Witatala, the head man CT the
Honduras Waikas, was unhappy. H.
luck had followed him for two moons.
First an unreasonable norther had swept
along th- coast and uprooted all the
young cocoanr trees of his beach cocai.
then troop af monkeys had stripped his
river plantation bare of every banana,
and the warrior ants had not passed
through the village for many sun-ups,
IN consequence of which the matched
watlas were overrun by all manner of
insects and reptiles.
To crown all, his favorite pig-the pride
OF the Mosquito Shore-had rashly ven
tured too near the river bank, where the
willy olo. crocodile, that had his haunt
among the reeds, had with one quick
lash Of his tail Rocked the poor creature
from her feet into his capacious jaws,
and, sliding into the river devoured her.
Old Witatala was dead sure that Lassa,
the evil spirit, was angry with him, and
he declared the contemplated trip to the
Gays of ia Reuda'' for tortoise shells
would be useless unless Lassa was pro-
pitiated.
When, therefore, the sukia of the tribe
announced after many spells and incanta-
tions that she had discovered the remedy
for Witatala's bad luck, there were great
5ejoiclngs; they turned to lamentations,
however, when it was announced that
Witatala should eat the heart of the

from the turtles back; care was taken
not to injure the shell by too much heat,
or force it off until the heat had fully
prepared it for separation.
maddening feature of the operation,
to an onlooker, was that the turtle could
not utter d sould, but only writhe and
twist in the torture.
Four of them died under the fire; the
rest, after they had been s'shelled, -
were allowed to drag themselves to the
sea.
One of the turtles, instead of thirteen
scales, had but one. Witatala explained
this by saying that the turtle had. been
already once ''shelled,' and that this
was the new scale growing.
Instances are numerous where the tur-
ties have been caught second time with
the outer coating fully reproduced, but
instead of thirteen scales it is a single
piece.
At the end of three days we put back
to the main land with a heavy load OF
shells.
cit was the heart of Carrastara that did
this,' proudly cried Witatala to the ad-
miriDg crowd who surveyed the shining
pyramid OF shells piled upon the shore,
and as the visions of beads, cloth and
rum for which the shells would be bar
tered at Belize arose before their eyes,
they gratefully echoed: st was the
heart of Carrastaral'
The whole business was certainly worth
the heart of q crocodile.

All that night the party hunted. In
the morning they found that they had
turned forty turtles.
Some of them were monsters, weighing,
/ should judge, as much as ], 800 pounds.
These, however, were the "logger-
heads.'' The ''hawkbills. which sup
ply the shells, weighed only few hum
dred pounds.
The Ioggerheads were liberated and
preparations were begin for Smelling.

not resorted to, were the turtles killed
instead. it would be but short time be-
fore the species would become extinct
What is generally known as 'tortoise
sbell'' is not the shield or shell of the
turtle; it is the scales which cover the
shell.
There are thirteen of these scales.
They are sometimes over foot long and
seven inches broad, and beautifully va
riegated with white, red, yellow and dark
brown clouds.
The first step toward Smelling after the
turtles had been turned on their bellies
and securely fastened to the ground con-
sisted OF placing piles of burning brush
upon their backs. The heat caused the
scales to become pliable and the plates to
separate at their joints.
Next large knife was inserted hori-
zontally under the scales to lift them
