All day he would stand, watching
watching for a sign of a sail, and for
get to cook and almost forget to eat
in his anxiety.
One night there was an awful storm
and in the morning when the French
cook looked out he saw, lying on the
sand, two small figures.
He ran to them quickly. and leaned
over the younger-a girl. She was not
dead, but was sleeping peacefully with
her hand under her cheek. The boy,
too, was asleep. Evidently they had
become exhausted after a long struggle
in the water.
The French cook did not wake
them. Instead he hurried back to his
little cave and prepared wonderful
dinner of crabs.
The delicious fragrance stole out
on the air, and woke the little girl.
Get up, Ben" she cried, leaning
over the boy, some one is cooking
dinner"
"Oh, you are dreaming, Babe" muir
INJURED the boy and went to sleep
again.
Just then the French cook came
around sand hillock and Babe jumped
to her feet. The French cook wore his
apron and cap. and they shone daz-
zling white in the sun.
Dinner eez served, Nam zelle," he
said, and bowed with flourish.

story: and the marshal said he would

"Oh, how sweet" cried Babe. and
the French cook bowed delighted
thanks.
"Gee-ee," said Ben and looked hun

The French cook waited on his two
guests with ardor, and while they ate

And every day after that the French
cook prepared the crabs in so many
ways that Ben and Babe never tired
of eating them.
But they grew weary of the island.
1t was very hot and their clothes be-
came torn and they had no books to
read, and nothing to do but catch crabs
or play in the sand. They even wished
for school-anything to break the mo-
notony.
One morning a break came.
"A sail, a sail" cried Ben, as he
stood on the top of a little hill and
looked out over the sea.
What flag?" asked the French
cook as the vessel came nearer.

the boat swung around. it's a black

The three castaways looked at each

When the ship was some distance

sturdy men rowed it ashore
The first pirate to step on land was
the captain of the crew. He was a
jolly old fellow, and would never have
been pirate except that he inherited
the business from his father, who was
a bold buccaneer, who sailed the seas
and scuttled ships and carried cut

jail.
But all this was easier said than
done; for Kowak hid himself and could
not be found.
Then followed some very sad days
for the little trader. All his hopes of
going to the school in the states van
ished, for it would be a long time be-
fore he could get another ermne robe
were the ermines not becoming
scarcer all the time ?-and ii took many
gold pieces to go to the states-a great

Finally, on the evening before the
day when the Queen was due on her
first trip of the season, while Soosky
was in Juneau, having gone there to
carry some of the articles he meant
to sell to the tourists, something hap
pened that revived his spirit great

So Soosky watched for Kowak, and
very soon he saw him come out into

mountains.
He followed the stumbling figure
OF the thief cautiously. He wished that
he could notify the marshal. but there
was no time. While he would be look

TWO CASTAWAYS
AND A COOK
BY TEMPLE BAILEY.

Once upon a time a French cook was
washed overheard from an ocean liner
1t happened this way:
He had carried the enormous wood
en- bowl in which he was chopping on
ions for the passengers potato salad
TO a cool spot on the ships side, when,
suddenly. the bowl had tipped. and in
trying to save it. over he went into the
water. clinging desperately TO the bowl.
So quietly did it happen, however.
that his loss was not discovered until
the head cook was ready for the on
ions and found a trail of them on the
railing.
How unfortunate" cried the head
cook. There are no more onions!"
And that night the passengers com
planned of the tasteless salad.
But the bowl saved the French cook.
Being of wood. it floated. and as it
had not turned over. the onions pro-
Nided the cook with food enough for
a week. for it really takes a great
many onions to season salad for an
ocean liner.
The French cook was very glad, how
ever Wnen ne nOaUed 10 an island, ana
once on shore, being tired of one kind
of diet. he looked around Immediately
for something else to eat.
But there was nothing on the island.
No breadfruit, no oysters, no goats.
no berries, nothing that one expects on
a wellregulated desert island.
Finally when he travelled over long
stretches of hot sand, he came to three
cocoanut trees, and in a little bay made
by curve in the shore. he found
sWarms of crabs.
Then the French cook recognized his
opportunity.
1T is fate" he cried, that has
brought me here. l shall thus learn to
cook crabs in all ways, and when 1 am
rescued l shall be famous"
So every day the French cook was
busy. He boiled crabs and he broiled
them, he fried them and he frica sseed
them, he sauted them and he smother
ed them. and he deviled them in many
new and wonderful ways.
Often he lacked the proper season.
ing, but he discovered a certain kind
of pepper grass, and mustard grew
thickly on the island, and he invented
strange but delicious sauces.
And for time he was very happy.
But after a while he longed for

cry turn getting nearer the edge of
the precipice.
Soosky continued to hold on to the
bundle, and when, by a sudden shove,
he was hurled over the declivity, it
was still firmly clutched in his arms.
Kowak had hold of it also, at the
moment, and vainly tried to loosen
the grip OF the boy, in the hope of
saving it from going down with him;
and there Soosky hung for a minute,
suspended only by the precious robe
in the hands of his enemy.
Kowak was gradually drawn over
the edge by the weight of the boy,
and at last was forced to let go to
save himself, and then Soosky and his
prize fell down-down-down into the
darkness.
The robe saved his life, for it was
beneath him when he struck the rocky
bottom of the chasm. and protected
him from what must have proved DER
rible, il not fatal, injuries. AS ii was,
he sustained only number of painful
bruises.
It was intensely dark. and it was
impossible for him to make his way
out of the place before daylight, 80
he wrapped the robe about him and
stoically waited for the morning.
The following day, when the Queen
arrived at Juneau with the tourists,
he was at his usual post near the land
ing place. and the marshal, to whom
he told his story. succeeded in cap
turing Kowak, as he was stealing
aboard the vessel intent on escaping
10 Killisnoo.
Some days afterward there was a
pow-wow OF the white men at the
court. and koWak was sent to Stka
for many months.
More than one shipload OF tourists
came and went before Soosiy found
q purchaser for his erinine robe: but
one day a pretty woman and a smil-
ing big man came on the ship toe
gether, and the pretty woman said she
must have the ermine robe. then the
smiling BIG man looked az II care

they decided would be cushla Cheap
at $50.
Finally his stock was ready, and on
the next steamer day" when the
Queen arrived and her hundreds of
passengers poured down the gangway
and through the town, little Soosky
stood proudly al the side of the street
just above the landing place, with all
his curios arranged ready in a row
in front of him, and with the price of
each fixed firmly in his mind.
Custom began coming his way al
most at once. and gradually increased.
Many stopped to price his wares, and
then passed on TO the stores of the
white dealers: after while they came
back and bought of him, for they
found that his prices were not AS high
as those Of the white men. And at
night, when all the sightseers and
curio hunters returned to the ship.

HOW THE BIRDS GOT
THEIR PLUMAGE.

The red Indians say that originally
all the birds were without feathers.
And they did not like it, So they held
a great council and resolved they must
have some kind Of clothes to wear.
They were told that coverings had
been prepared for them. but that they
were a long way OFF and they must
either go or send for them.
