year i am going to have electric
lights, bat this season we must put
up with lamps. We will have things
in shape so that we can sleep ashore
tonight. We will take dinner on the
yacht this evening, and this will be
your last meal afloat for some time
After dinner the tide had so far
receded that Capt. Waters made
ready to drop the "Shark" into
deeper water. Hestor and his
guests returned to shore, and the
yacht glided out into the bay. Its
great searchlight, later in the even
ing, swept around the amphitheater
and aroused chorus from birds and
a roar from proving animals. Mr..
Pence declared he saw the flaming
eyes of some wild beast through the
palm trees, and was not at all re-
assured when Hestor informed him
that it was nothing but puma or
mountain lion"
"They are as common as rabbits
around here" he said. IF you leave
them alone they will not bother
you. They probably smell the meat
i'm, the storeroom."
All were wearied from the days
work, and ut little after nine
o'clock it was decided to retire for
the might. Hestor shook hands with
all and grasped Sidney Hammond's
hand with an earnest clasp. He again
expressed the hope that they would
enjoy their visit, and bidding them
goodnight retired to his room.
At five o'clock the following morn
ing the captives were aroused by q
great cutlery, and hammering at the
doors of their rooms. They found
Mr.. Pence rushing up and down the
veranda, wringing his hands and
moaning in terror.
"The boat is gone!" he cried.
"The Shark has gune away and left

THE OTHER POINT or VIEW.

To be little girl of ten
Seems nice cnough-to boys and men;
] wonder II they ever tried
To argue from the other side?
don't suppose they'd ever guess
The stiffness of n starched white dress;
l wonder how they'd like the hooks
Let alone the way 1t looks!
They never sit ut home and sew,
And watch their brothers come and go:
should not even like to say
That they would bear It for q day!
They do not know how hard 1t seems
To be a girl still, in ones dreams.
To feel that one can never be
a drummer boy, or go to sea.
Dur brothers say we're hard to please
Because we long for things like these;
They think II Is q pleasant life
To wait until you're someone's wife.
When I'm a wife I'll gladly sit
At home. and cook and sew and knit:
But there's a lot of waiting when
You're but little girl of ten.
Dur brothers do not seem to know
That waiting can be very slow:
You see, they've never really tried
To argue from the other side!
Evelyn Sharp, in Westminster Gazette.

A Remedy for Rats.

Is this the first appearance of the
following? 1t is from the London
Times of October IA, 1902: One OF
the Dover inkeepers who lately COM
planned to a French gentleman that
his house was greatly infested with
rats, and that he would willingly
give a considerable sum to get rid
of them, was, on the following morn
ing land after the Frenchman had re-
ceived his billy accosted by him:
"Sure, 1 shall tell you vich way you
shall get rid of de rat" 81 will be
obliged very much to you If you
can," replied the landlord. well, den,
only charge de rat as you charge me,
and will be id If de rat ever como
to your house again."-N. Y. Tribune,

us! We are lost! We are lost! We
are LOST"
"Oh, shut up!" said Mr. Kent and
he went back to his couch, and was
soon asleep.
Mr.. Walter d. Hestor, owner of the
shark" and special envoy and cor
respondent of The New York Record,
was not in his room. There was no
trace of the shark" in "Morton's
Bay" The millionaires were ma
rooned.

then about ten o'clock in the morn.
ing, and the sun was very warm in
the open. Sidney Hammond, Mr.,
Carmody and Mr.. Kent set out to eX-
plore the brook which rushed past
the bungalow. Mr.. Pence went back
to the shark" and the other gentle
men wandered around or rested I'M
der the shade of the trees.
In the meantime the hull of the
yacht was disgorging an unexpected
volume of boxes, barrels, chests and
crates of all descriptions. Brass
bedsteads, chairs, sofas and various
articles of furniture came to light
and were borne away to the bunga-
low by the sailors. There were bar
rels of -four and crackers, barrels
of oil, lamps and lanterns. and an
endless variety of cooking utensils.
There was also barrel which Mr..
Vincent handled tenderly, and that
gentleman took special care of crates
containing bottles of claret, beer and
Burgundy, to say nothing of cigars,
tobacco, sherries, cordials, brandies
and liquors. Mr.. Vincent arranged
these in order, and then stood and
gazed lovingly at the imposing array.
And still the sailors brought new
treasures from the hold of the
"Shark." There were library shelves,
pictures, mirrors, bric-a.brac, a piano
and the parts of billiard table.
There were guns, revolvers and cases
of ammunition, together with rods
and an assortment of fishing tackle.
4 huge chest contained complete
set of carpenters tools. There were
numberless articles Of necessity and
comfort, including n variety of
canned foods, jellies and jams, and
smoked and cured meats. of which
Il grocer or market-man might have
been proud. These were placed in
the storehouse, which was provided
with huge cave which served as
cellar. through which branch of
the brook had been diverted to keep
it cool.
BY one o'clock all of these arti-
cles had been deposited. either in the
various rooms or on the broad ve-
randas. Luncheon was served on the
yacht, and the crew returned to their
task. Mr.. Kent and Mr.. Rockwell
took hand in the work; so did Sid
ney Hammond and Mr.. Haven. Mr..
Carmody took charge of the arrange
ment of the pictures, while Mr.. L.
Sylvester Vincent devoted his time
to the perfection of the storeroom.
Mr.. Morton remained on board the
yacht for awhile. and then rejoined
the busy party. 1t was warm. but
he entered into the spirit of the
affair and was soon at work.
"You will find in one of the boxes
n great assortment of linen cloth
ing and other wear suitable to this
climate said Hestor. There are
cork helmets and all of the devices to
protect you from the glare of the
sun. There is also a gas engine
and small dynamo sufficient to run
electric fans, which my men are
now setting up in the powerhouse
the storeroom. We will
have it installed before night. Next

CHAPTER XIV.-CONTINuED

SHAPIEk M
SIT is very beautiful, but there
are others l would rather look on
Just now," said Mr.. Rockwell.
"Well, we will give it a housewarm-
ing" said Hestor; calmly ignoring
the melancholy note in Mr.. Rock
wells answer. Lets see. The keys
were to be left in box under the
second tree to the left of the big
rock. Get us something we can dig
with" he said, addressing one of the
crew, who returned in minute
of the SHARK" He dug at the base
of the tree and soon struck wooden
chest. inside of which was an iron
box with the key in its lock. Hestor
opened the box and disclosed lot of
keys marked with labels.
"Here they are" he said. "The
world is ours." He led the way to
the bungalow. There was an air of
newness about the structure which
told that it had but recently been
completed. Scattered around were
pieces of lumber, paint pots and saw
horses, which showed that no tenant
had occupied the structure.
The first door was of wire screen
opening on the veranda. The entire
veranda was enclosed in fine wire
screen, as were all the windows. This
was to exclude mosquitoes and other
insects. The door of the main build
ing was next opened. and the party
entered into circular room about
so feet in diameter. The floors were
covered with mating, and the walls
finished in burlaps. There was no
furniture in this or in any other
room in the bungalow. In the CEN
ter of the ceiling there was a light
and air area extending to the glass
roof above, the upper floor being sup
ported from the roof. This area was
n circle 12 feet in diameter, the
upper floor constituting u nine
foot gallery around the room.
The kitchen and storeroom were in
building separated from the main
structure. A wire netting passage
way, with a protecting roof, con-
nected the kitchen with the dining
room in such way that communica-
ton was possible despite weather or
insects, and at the same time the
odors of the kitchen were avoided.
A large cooking range was already
in position. There also was an oil
stove.
'This is the dining-room, parlor
and lounging ROOM" explained Hes
tor, as they returned to the large
circular room. 81 suppose it is really
the dining-room, but we will use 1t
in any way we choose. There are IL
sleeping apartments, all opening di-
rectly on the veranda. Here is one
of them. You will notice that each
has it's own bathroom"
"Where does the water come
from?" asked Mr.. Morton. as he
turned faucet. A clear, cold stream
of water rushed out at great pres
sure.
1--WE damned up a brook on the
Mill back of here and made reser-
voir," said Hestor. "The pipes lead
directly to the building with a drop
of 120 feet"
"All you need now is furniture and
provisions" said Mr.. Haven.
ssYou won't knowA the place by
night" exclaimed Hestor. "You gen.
tiemen make yourselves comfortable
as you can. Explore the surround
ines, OF do what you please. This
is my busy day." and Hestor dashed
away towards the yacht 1t was
