In a moment Guffanta had sprung at
him, had seized him by the throat, and
with the other arm had encircled bis body.

For Il moment they struggled locked to-

The. long, sinewy hand Of the Spaniard
that was round his throat was choking
him; his own blows fell upon the others

And he was being dragged towards the
edge Of the moraine, already his back was
against the wooden railing that alone
stood between the plateau and destruc-
ton.
He could, even at this moment, hear it
creaking with his weight; it would break
in another instant!
"Will you yield, assassin, villain2 7"
Guffanta muttered.
"Never! Do your worst"
He felt one hand tighten round his
throat more strongly. he felt the other
arm Of the Spaniard driving him back;
in that moment Of supreme agony he
heard the breaking Of the railing and felt
it give under him. and then Guffanta's
hands had loosed him, and, striking the
moraine with his head, he fell down and
down, till he lay a senseless mass upon
the white bosom Of the glacier.

ASLEEP UNDER WATER.

How Divers Sometimes Loaf and Sol,
der Away Their Time.
In an article on divers and Their
Work." Framley Steelcroft declares
that 1t Is not a very uncommon thing
for an expert diver, now that diving ap-
paratus has been perfected to the point
Of entire reliability, to take a quiet lit
tie nap under water in those soundless
regions where no disturbances, unless
possibly that made by a too inQuisitivs
shark, Is likely to occur.
He tells of one man who was at the
bottom Of the water in a harbor clean
ing a ships hull when he became tired,
and made up his mind to knock of work
and take a refreshing little snooze,
where nobody would be the wiser. and
there would be nothing to prevent the
time SO spent from being paid for
among his hours of work when he IL.
ceived his wages.
Unfortunately for his plan, he forgot,
when he drowsed of, to secure to his
wrist-as must be done when it is not in
use-One Of his implements, a couch
grass brush. AS his hold upon the hight
brush relaxed it rose to the surface
and foated conspicuously near the side
Of the vessel, where it was noticed by
his comrades on board.
The officer on duty promptly opened
communications with his submerged
subordinate by telephone "a telephone
attachment being n Of the recent i'm
provements), and the startled man,
after having hopelessly committed him.
self by laundering nswer and halt
ing explanations, was sternly ordered
to the surface of the water, and dis
charged as he emerged.
Another and a lazier diver, engaged
to work upon q wreck, once went down
with the deliberate intention of sleeping
for an hour or more. AS soon as he
touched bottom he ashed his air-pipe
and lifeline to a spar, and settled HIM
self comfortably on q rock and went to
sleep. But after q time his attendant
at the surface noticed that the lifeline
showed no movement, and gave the
two quick, inquiring tugs which form
the signal, "Are you all right?"
No answer was received, and It was
found impossible to obtain one, or to
draw the diver to the surface. At
length. after an interval Of intense anx-
iety In which the s~lumberers life was
despaired Of by his mates, q second
diver was sent down-and his wrath
when he found the supposed victim
sweetly sleeping, and the scene that en-
sued when he awoke him, was funny
and bordered on the tragical.

tom Of the sea has not yet found place

Moritz Busch, in his Life Of Prince
Bismarck" gives q humorous sketch
Of the scientist, Humboldt, and his dis
appointment when he was not allowed
to have the talk all to himself. Per-
haps the best Of the anecdote Is the
mode Of narration. Humboldt had been
giving n Of his famous readings at
the royal palace Of Prussia.
Somebody took up the conversation,
and said 20 many interesting things
that everybody began to listen. Hum
boldt was beside himself. Growing, he
filled his plate with a pile Of goose
liver pie, fat cells. lobster tails and 9TH
er indigestible substances real noun
tain. When he could positively eat no
more, he could no longer keep quiet,
and so he made an attempt to get the
conversation into his own hands.
Upon the peak Of Popocatapetl-~
he began.
But 1t. was no use. The narrator
would not be cut short in his story.
Upon the peak Of Popocatapetl, 1000
yards above" 0e resumed, after
coughing violently to attract attention.
Again he failed to obtain a hearing, and
the narrator calmly went on.
upon the peak Of Popocatapetl, 1000
yards above the level OF the Pacific
Ocean" he exclaimed, in a loud, agi-
tated voice, shaken by grief and indig-
nation. But to no purpose. The other
man talked on steadily, and the com.
pany listened to him, and him only.
Humboldt sat down in a fury. and
plunged into meditation on the ingrati.
