my mind Of falling from the cross
trees into that still green water, beside
the body of the cockswain.
I chung with both hands till my nails
ached, and I shut my eyes as if TO
cover up the peril. Gradually my mind
came back again, my pulse quieted
down to a more natural time, and L
was once more in possession of myself.
It was my first thought to pluck
forth the dirk; but either it stuck too
hard or my nerve failed me, and de-
sisted with a violent shudder. Oddly
enough that very shudder did the bust
ness. The knife, in fact, had come the
nearest in the world to missing me
altogether; it held me by mere pinch
of skin, and this the shudder tore away.
The blood ran down the faster, to be
sure; but was my own master again
and only tackled to the mast by my
coat and shirt.
These last I broke through with n
sudden jerk and then regained the deck
by the starboard shrouds. For moth
ing in the world would have again VEN
tured, shaken as 1 was, upon the over
hanging port shrouds, from which Is
rael had SO lately fallen.
I went below and did what could
for my wound; it panied me great
deal and still bled freely; but it was
neither deep nor dangerous, nor did il
greatly gall Ice when I used my arm.
Then L looked around me, and as the
ship was now, in a sense, my own, I
began to think of clearing it from its
last passenger-the dead man, O'Brien.
He had pitched, as have said, against

horrible, ungainly sort of puppet; life
size, indeed, but how different from
life's color or 1ife's loneliness! In that
position I could easily have my way
with him, and as the habit of tragical
advent lures had worn off almost all lay
terror for the dead, I took him by the
waist as if he had been a sack Of bran
and, with one good heave, tuznbled him
overheard. He went N with a sounding
plunge, the red cap came off and re-
manned floating Oh the surface, and as
soon as the splash subsidized I could see
him and Israel lying side by side, both
yvavering with the tre1Eulous movement
of the water. O'Brien, though still
quite a young man, was very bald

A Carnivorous Plant.

The sundews are really carnivorous
plants. Their leaves are covered with
bristles, each having on its tip drop
of glutinous liquid When an insect
touches a leaf he is caught and held
by the glue, and the leaf gradually
closes over him, smothering him to
death His body is then dissolved and

Dainty salad foz Luncheon.

A Marguerite salad is the appropri-
ate title of a preparation of eggs and
lettuce leaves, which is an ornamental
dish certainly and one that is also ap-
petizing. The inner leaves of the heads
of lettuce are arranged in the shape OF
very small nests. Several eggs are
boiled hard and firm and the yolks re-
moved. The whites are cut in thin cir
cles and arranged in the lettuce cups,
the center being then filed with the
yoik of the egg mixed with golden
mayonnaise.

OPERA SEASON AT CRAWFORD
Andrews Company Can be secured
ifEnough Books are Subscribed


All Wichita music lovers will remember
with pleasure the delightful four night
season of opera which was given here
by the Andrews opera company, about
two years ago. The success of tha- en-
gagement was so pronounced both ar,is-
tically and financially, that Manager Mart
ing has been anxious to secure the COM

but until the present time he has been
unable 10 do so. He now finds that ne

principle that "a half loa fis better than

company here on those dates, provided,
as before, sufficient sale of commuta-
ton books. this time OF only four tick
cts eaeh, can be sold on subscription TO
insure packed houses for the engagement.
For il must remembered that the season
plan implies cheaper prices than the same
grade OF performances on the one night
stand plan, and that the difference must
be made up 10 the management by max
ing assurance doubly sure Of having big
audiences. This plan proved immensely
popular when the company was here be-
fore and It affords opera lovers chance
to enjoy their favorite amusement at
