ONE I KNEW.

He never tried to preach or set you right:
He thought all Others better far than
he:
And so he showed by life. instead Of
words.
The. wondrous beauty of humility.
He did not worry to reform the world.
He knew Gods ways, though slow. were
always sure:
He only struggled to reform himself
BY steadfastness and patience to en-
dure.
He would not pirate about the want Of
love.
Nor: yet the lack of faith in human
mind;
lie never spoke about these things at all,
Only he never failed In being kind.
One single passion held his heart In sway:
An earnest craving for the pure and
true;
And though at times Gods face felt far
away
His learth-dimmed eyes so deeply
yearned to view
Still. in the dark as in the light, he
smiled!
He said the sun was shining all the
time!
And. for the things he could not UNDER
stand.
He hoped and trusted In Love sub
lime.

"That is the way to do business"
said Mr.. Morton. Each man knows
his duty and can go about it,"
Mr.. Vincent walked out into the
kitchen and in few minutes re-
turned. He stood in the open door
and looked over the gentlemen who
were variously engaged.
"Mr. Pence" he called.
Mr.. Pence had sunk back in his
chair and was examining n book
which Sidney left on the table. He
lifted his eyes over his steel-rimmed
glasses and gazed languidly at Mr..
Vincent.
"You can come to the kitchen,
Mr.. Pence" said Vincent, "and pare
the potatoes for luncheon"
whats that?" exclaimed the
astounded millionaire. "Pare pota-
toes! Me pare potatoes? Absurd"
There was a general roar of laugh

Mr.. Pence looked at Mr.. Rockwell
appealingly.

Rockwell said, sunless Mr.. Hammond
urgently needs and demands your
services on the exploration commit
tee. If not, you will have to obey
Mr.. Vincent. He is general superin-
tendent, and you voted for him and
his authority"
Sidney said that he did not need
Mr.. Pence at present. That gen.
tleman arose, and with woeful ex-
preston followed Vincent to- the
kitchen. A few minutes later he
donned white apron and entered
on his new duty. He proved an
adept, and Mr.. Kent looked in at q
side door and regarded his work with
approval. 81

"He Is The best man you could Sc
lect," said Mr.. Kent, addressing the
general superintendent, who was
critically watching Mr.. Simon Pence.
"He can cut the thinnest pairing you
ever saw. The potato will weigh
more when he gets through with it
than it did when he began. He is a
wonder. You ought to see him pare

snake him go way" pleaded Mr..
Pence.
But Mr.. Kent had disappeared.
Mr.. Vincent went in search of more
help. He found Mr.. Haven.
81 shall have to ask you to chop
some wood" he said.
Certainly" said Mr.. Haven, with
surprising alacrity. 'Where is the
AK? ! was n dandy at chopping wood
when a boy. How long do you want
it?" In a few minutes the sugar
magnate was hard at work, and at
the end of three hours he had accu-
mulated a goodly pile of wood and
ravenous appetite.
During the day Vincent went about
his duties in most systematic man
ner. He took each member of the
colony in charge, and showed them
the mysteries of the storeroom and
kitchen, and the exact location of all
foods and cooking utensils.
After dinner Mr.. Rockwell was de-
tailed to wash dishes and Mr.. Kent
to wipe them. 1t was worth a jour
ney around the world to watch the
great capitalist scrape frying pan
or a kettle, and to see the dizziness
with which the famous speculator
handled towel on the knives and
forks. He was giving pan finish
ing touch when it dropped to the
floor with crash.
"Tin plate seems to be going
down." observed Mr.. Haven, who
was watching Mr.. Kent with much
interest.
"Yes," drawled Mr.. Kent, 'what do
you suppose sugar is doing in New
York while you are away? I'll bet
it is not going up"
1t began to rain during the fore
noon, and Sidney was compelled to
postpone an expedition he had
planned, in which he proposed to
follow the brook to it's source, which
he calculated would be the highest
point of land on the island.

CHAPTER XVI.
AN EXPLORATION.

Thursday was perfect day after
the storm. The air was fresh and
cool from the ocean. Sidney was up
at an early hour and took his OBJ
servation of the time of the sunrise.
1t was Mr.. Kent's turn to get break
fast, and he did himself credit. In
the meantime Sidney had been pre-
pairing for the exploration of the
island. He looked over the stock of
guns and selected a rifle and shot
gun. He found these weapons in
fairly good order, but oiled and
cleaned them carefully, and tested
both several times.
1t was about eight o'clock when
Sidney and Mr.. Kent disappeared in
the thicket through which the brook
took its course. Mr.. Pence had been
detailed to explore the north shore
of the lake, and from the express
sion of his face he did not relish
the task.
He refused to take gun, and
armed with a heavy club set out on
what he regarded most dangerous
expedition. 1t was low tide, and the
beach was clear of water to the
browning rocks which formed the
gateway to 'Morton's Bay"
For the first quarter of an hour
Sidney and Mr.. Kent found it fairly
easy to follow the course of the
brook. A trail had been cut along
the winding bank the preceding
year, but such is the virility of
tropical vegetation that already it
was well-nigh closed. On both sides
was jungle so dense as to be i'm
penetrable.
At the end of an hours hard
work they came to cleared space
and found where the dam had been
built across a gorge between two
rocks. The dam was about IL feet
in height. Above was the reservoir;
a lake covering perhaps 20 acres OF
ground, from which the timber had
been denuded. The character of the
forest around this artificial lake was
far different from that through
which they had passed. 1t was more
open. Instead of the jungle OF
chaparral, Spanish bayonets, and
other forms of thorny plants, brush
and tree, the plateau on which they
now stood was a noble tropical
forests veritable park with glades.
rocks, picturesque ravines and gen.
tie hills.
"This is more like it," said Sid
ney as they took a seat on q rock
beneath the spreading branches OF
a magnolia tree. eff the rest of the
island is like this our task is an
easy and pleasant one"
Their view was one to entrance a
poet. They were at the edge Of q
glade covering about 40 acres. Here
and there a rock showed above the
waving grass and flowers, but other
wise the vista was unbroken.
"This is a superb spot" said Sid
ney. "Did you ever see such flowers
and trees? How tame the products
of Conservatives seem compared
with natures work! There Is
bunch of roses which would be worth
500 In New York. What kind Of
tree is thnt?" Sidney pointed to .

snow, Mr.. President" continued
Mr.. Morton, ut occurs to me that
there are three divisions of work that
should engage our attention. The
first is our sustenance during the
time we are compelled to remain on
this island. 1t can be classed under
the broad head of housekeeping. The
second is a thorough exploration OF
the island, and as careful an esti-
mate of our whereabouts as posi-
BILE. The third is to plan and provide
means of escape. I move that the
president appoint committees to su-
pervise and be held responsible for
the performance of these duties"
The motion being carried, Mr..
Rockwell pondered few moments
and said:
II am of the opinion that all mem
bers of the Social Island Colony
should serve on the committee on
housekeeping. If the work is shared
by all, the task will be light, but II
it devolves on one or two men 1t will
be mere drudgery. / am going to
appoint Mr.. i. Sylvester Vincent as
general superintendent of the Social
Island bungalow, and of all the lands
and game preserves thereunto ap-
pertaining. He will have full author
ity to call on the services OF any
member not employed at the time
on other duties, and in case of dis
pute the president will render a
decision. The president will also 'be
subject to Mr.. Vincent's authority
in the matter of household duties.
1t will be accepted as unwritten law
that each member must keep his
own room in order. Mr.. Vincent,

cent. He was delighted with the
title of general superintendent and
by the extent Of his authority.
II shall appoint Mr.. Hammond
chairman of the committee on en-
ploration," said Mr.. Rockwell. HE
will be assisted by Messrs. Kent and
Pence, both of whom are great ex-
plorers."
II don't want to explore" protest
ed Mr.. Pence. 81 would prefer. to

"The chair will accept no resigna-
tions," said Mr.. Rockwell. and he
hammered on the table with n ruler
to indicate that the question was
settled. mr.. Andrus Carmody will
be chairman of the committee on
escape; Mr.. Morton and Mr.. Haven
will serve with him on that commit
tee. The president volunteers his

A thorough search revealed none.
They then proceeded to make care
fun study of the map, but it threw no
light on. their position on the broad
surface of the globe. All that the
map showed was the contour of the
bay, the course of the brook to the
reservoir, and q little to the west
of It, also the location of the bum
galow and the small island in the
bay. There was no scale, and the
waters to the east were designated
by no name.
'For all that this map shows we
may be on the MOON" said Mr.. Kent.
"All that we know is that we are
alive. and well, and somewhere in the
tropics: We may be east or west or
north or south of Cuba. For all 1
know. we may be off South America"
"Well, we can consider this later"
said Mr.. Morton. "Let's get down
to business. 1t would not be right
for good Americans to do anything
without an organization, and l move
that Mr. John M. Rockwell be made
chairman, and that Mr.. Sidney Ham

Wallace. the young Esquimo boy
brought by Peary from the ice fields
north of Greenland, four years ago
has undergone his first surgical opera
ton.
The little fellow, who is IS years of
age, suffered from enlarged glands of
MS neck which threatened to be attend
ed by serious complications. The Oh
GRAFTON was performed in the Fordham
hospital from which he soon will be
discharged cured. the doctors say.
B. B. Wallace of the Museum of Nat
ural History adopted the boy who has
become thoroughly Americanized. He
was one of four Esquinos brought to
this country@by Mr.. Peary: three Of
them died within a short time after
their arrival from consumption. A
week ago it was decided that the boy
would have to submit to an operation.
The lad looked forward to the operation
without fear and the surgeons say it
is largely due TO his splendid courage
that his recovery is complete. The boy
was named after Lieutenant Peary and
Mr. Wallace.
