very desperately in love with each

married. Cupid had been stopping
around in their vicinity for three or
four days and demanded to be quieted.
John henery' was young, she knew,
but she could be tender with him. His
mother said it was all right, and when
Sarah, K, left the Office it was with
joy in her heart and the license in her

tendency in Curacao, and even the
liquor to which the island gave it's
name is no longer manufactured there,
but in Amsterdam.
THE residents are now said to be all
smugglers. The tempting proximity Of
high tariffed Venezuela, less than 8,
score of miles away, offers rare oppor-
tunities for earning an honest living.

"A reflection forced on me by a
tour Of these islands is the extraor-
binary absence of any special indus
tries among the natives. In most other
lands with large native populations,
especially in the southern seas, you
will find certain unique artistic crea-
tions, dexterously made, which indi-

laziness Of the populations and their
lack of inventive faculty, content to
live as they are from hand to mouth.

i've artistic creations. So we zigzag
through this segment of circle from
north to south without carrying away
a single souvenir
The trip as Mr. Shortall describes it
involves every one of the three groups
of islands worth visiting. Trinidad,
with its unfathomable and inexhaust-
ible lake of asphaltum, was visited;
Antigua, with its pretty rural village
scenes, and many other interesting
points were touched. In the end the
party visited Venezuela and passed
over the spur of the Andes from La
Guayra to Caracas and thence to Porto
Cabello. Here the steamer was met
and the party steamed for home, well
content to leave the Lesser Antilles
and the Spanish main for more
agreeable cline.

on the large disasters that follow small

he continued to reflect. Their last

He had said words of obvious polite

however, he recalled the look in her
eyes, and it troubled him. Quite sud
