THE MAN-EATING TIBURONs.
An Island of CannibnIs Within Four
Hundred Miles of America.

San Francisco. April 25.-In response to
the frequent plant that very shortly the
dark corners of the earth will all have
been Illuminated by the lamp of civili-
cation, and that there will be no more I'M
known lands for the traveller to explore,
or the novelist to exploit 1t may be point
ed out that actually within four hundred
miles of Juna on the Southern Pacific
Railroad, there is an island inhabited by a
tribe of savages' as treacherous and blood
thirsty as any that have existed on the
earth.
A little above the midway hne in the
Gulf of California, close in to the Sonora
shore, lies the island of Tiburon, a com
pact body of land about twenty miles in
length and fifteen across at its broadcast
part. To an observer from q safe dis
lance, the low shore line presents thick
ly wooded appearance, with high noun
tains in the interior, though beyond the
fact that 1t is inhabited by savages who
are cannibals, little further is known.
From time to time, a few sailors who
have had the misfortune to be wrecked
on the island, and the good fortune TO es-
cape have reported that upon reaching
the shore, they were decoyed inland by
natives who spoke an unknown language,
when their companions were killed and
eaten. That there Is probable truth In this
assertion Is borne out by the survivors Of
the expedition sent out two or three years
ago by Jesse Grant OF San Diego, TO pros

resulted in bringing them to a standstill.
He rode slowly up and refined in facing
them. The girl sat erect in her saddle,
her bosom heaving, her eyes defying him.
The musician looked at him with his big,
brown, sorrowful eyes despairing.
Holmes looked only on che girl, and even
as he did so that which had caused all
his misery in the last few years, his great
love for her, came back sweeping In on
him as a flood, washing away his wrath
and disappointment and longing for re-
venge. 1t was Katy Malone who faced
him, his pet in her school days, the one
thing he had ever loved. AS he looked
on her, flushed with exercise and indigna-
ton, he put his pistol back in the hol
ster and the reins fell on his horses neck,
and he cared nothing for the others pres
ence, but held out his arms in overwhelm-
ing despair, crying:
'Katy! Katy! Why have you done
this?"
The girl paused a moment in surprise,
for she had surely expected an outburst
of colossal rage, but in a moment she
regained her usual self-possession. She
took the musicians hand in hers, in the
protecting way she had used when she
had met him in the island wood.
Because I love him. she said, simply.
The sergeants head dropped low over
his horse, and his tall frame shook.
When he looked up, his face was gray
as the morning sky All light was gone
from his eyes, even as the stars were
disappearing in the heavens. He was
calm now.

that for once they had heard Holmes

CHAPTER XIX.

MIR. SHELLS LITTLE SURPRISE.
Mr.. Theodore Shelf had reached the end
of his tether, and like a shrewd business
man he knew it.
There is a certain mad excitement in
standing on high ledge of an iceberg
when the steps which you have clam bered
up by have splintered away and the hum
dred foot cliffs above arc threatening ev-
cry instant to descend In crashing ava
lanche. You know you have to jump into
the cold green waters below or be crushed
out of existence, and lingering to the very
last second is not without it's fierce pleas
ure The dive is chilly, the waters beneath
unknown, final escape most hazardous.
But 1t is not these things which stay you.
1t is the nearness of the crash behind, and
that is fascinating beyond all words.
Mr.. Shelf was in a similar position. He
knew that his commercial ledge was grow
Ing more and more dangerous every min
ute by reason of the law of the land
which doomed above him, and yet for the
life of him he could not tear himself away.
He had waiting for him that snug hacien-
da on the banks of the Rio Paraguay
which he had time before made ready
against possible cataclysm, but it was
left to wait. The excitement of lingering
on in London was meat and drink to him.
His daring would be spoken about after
ward, and though he might not be blessed,
it is true, still he would not be forgotten.
That last was perhaps the chief reason
which, made him stay on. The vanity of
the man was colossal. He had been tic
killed. by the improving young men, he had
been tickled in his tabernacle, he had
been tickled by a parliamentary constitu-
ency, but these did not glut him. He
wanted more, far more, and if he could
not distinguish himself in the way his
wife had hoped he would at least be ia
nous in his fall.
He had a scheme, too, in his waiting of
taking vengeance on this same wife who
had made it necessary for him to fall at
all. Without her wild extravaganza he
would have been able to weather the COM
mercial depression which had weighed him
down, but she had scoffed at warnings
and increased the muster roll of her guests
and fed them ON bank notes. What this
scheme was he confided to no one but
George, and George did not split. George
hated Mrs. Shelf to the extent of showing
ivory whenever she was near him.
George said Mr.. Shelf at the conclu-
sion of one of these grim condolences, Il
shall be lonely man. You must come
out there with me- And George poked a
cold black nose into Mr.. Shelf's hand and
said that he should be vastly disappointed

davs later Mr. Shelf re- entered Condon
with all his freer movements hampered by
vulgar letters.
OF course Mr.. Shelf could not foresee
that when his steamer was passing Lundy
at a brisk Is knots her steering gear
would break down and jam the rudder SO
hard ABORT that she would take the ground
before reversed engines could check her
way. And because of this lack of fore
sight he was after some formality con-
signed to physical toll on slim though
regular diet, to which he went among
the wailings and curses Of ruined multi-
tude And there requiescat.
AS to Mrs. Shelf, do not know what
has become of her. neither do particular

expensive.
The good she did in this world during
her sway may be summed under the heads
of encoura ging dressmakers, society jour
nalists and the manufacturers of old
masters, and by these and a few others
she will be missed.
The evil she did is the talk of the street,
and the poor folk who were ruined by the
failure of her husband companies can be
eloquent thereon.
But her loss is not without one gain
Now that she has gone the poor woman
makes a very pretty peg for husbands who
knew her to hang a moral on for the delec-
tation of their unfortunate wives.

studiously before them, and of the few
who cast her a glance, half scared, half
curious, none added the smallest ghost of
a bow.
OF all that wondrous crowd, only two
men came up to her before they went.
One said, Good night, Mrs. Shelf
The other said: Good night, Laura.
I'm very sorry"
Then these followed the rest, and when
all had gone white faced servant came
up and told her what had happened. The
police had been quick with their reach,
but the man they wanted had been quick

before they arrived.

THAT is all, madam

not want you any more tonight. Lock up,
and then you may all go to bed
Then. picking up her fan. she walked
leisurely out of the drawing room and
went to her own boudoir.
That Mr.. Theodore Shelf had made his
own exit and brought about his wife's So
Cial downfall most dramatically even the
worst hit of his victims could not but ad-
init. The police with exquisite trouble
had traced him to Paddington station and
found that he had taken a first class ticket
to Liverpool, and after using the wires
they had returned to bed with the firm
conviction that their seaport associates
would meet the gentleman at Lime street.
Of course they could not possibly guess
that he and wire haired fox terrier dog
had changed their route to Monmouth
shire and had arrived in New port in am
pie time to so on board ore of his own
steamers which had just finished coaling
there.
The police and the victims said a good
many things when they learned the sim
pie means by which Mr.. Shelf had es-
capped and they confidently expected
never to see him again in this world and
hoped to miss him in the next. And con-
sequently all Were considerably astonished
