over a foot in depth. and he could ira
verse it in about % steps.
Drawing a stout bladed knife from his
pocket, he began hewing at the base of
one of the smallest trees. The wood was
dense and hard. of the species known as
ironwood. When the blade grew dull,
be whetted it on the rocks. All through
the night he worked, while the terrible
furnace belched above him, exhaling its
green, yellow and blue vapors.
By daylight he had his stilts carved
out They were about u feet long, with
a good prong upon each on which to rest
his foot and ample length above the
prong for seizure and guidance with his
arms. The distance below the prong was
four feet This would give him three
feet of atmosphere above the flow. Rest
ing his stilts against the face Of the
rock and lifting himself upon them, he
staggered moment, then started of to
the edge of the low. A strong wind was
blowing in his face and added to the diff
culties of his advance. 1t was hot and
scorched him.
Mr.. Watson put forth silt in the
lava. He found that he could draw it
out of the mass and that, though smok-
ing, it was not burned. His gait was IN
steady. but he fixed his eye on the edge
of the stream and worked toward it. The
wood was burning rapidly, though not in
flames. This added perhaps to the ease
with which he could withdraw the stills
from the lava. The heat was frightful.
His shoes seemed to be on fire, and his
feet were roasting.
The wood was now shedding charcoal,
showing specks of black and gray lava.
He pressed oil. covering four feet at
step. He felt the left silt crumbling.
His hands and face were now great blis-
tiers. His eyes seemed like balls Of fire.
The edge was fully Is feet ahead. Ii he
fell, he would shrivel like spider on a
hot shovel On he went, the stills burn
ing away beneath him. The left one
broke at the bottom, and he plunged for.
ward on the hot earth. He had crossed
the flow. He was free of the lava.
The cheering voice of one Of his COM
panions and a cup of water held to his
lips was the first Mr.. Watson knew upon
recovering his senses. He does not know
how he crawied some ten feet away from
the lava until he reached the cool ground,
but instinct guided him to this if memory
had left him. He was placed upon one
of the mules and taken across the sum-
nit to sherI, rancher's house.
And that is how Mr.. Watson was cured
of all curiosity about volcanoes.

While brigandage in Corsica is prac-
tically at an end, one cannot help re-
calling the days of the picturesque brig
ands and the vendetta. The brigands
of Corsica were attractive, at least
from romantic point of view. They
were not common highwaymen and
freebooters, urged by greed and idle
ness to live upon their fellow men, nor
were they refugees from a despotic
government.
Like Robin Hood and the Saxon out
laws, their existence was mainly the
result of the terrible custom of la ven

custom has come down, and the result
has been .bloodshed and devastation to
an incredible degree. No matter how
the feud began-it might be by some

death must be avenged by the nearest
relative of the deceased or indeed by
any relative. If the murderer had eS-

slain. The connections took up the

pressive phrase of the country, there
was blood between tie families.
