heartily. Il am glad you are not in

Kent. Il thought the raft would

He pointed in the direction where
there was a cleft in the ridge of hill:

faint outlines of a distant giant
mountain peak; pyramid whose TOT

He was not in sight!
Sidney raised himself out of the
water as high as possible and
searched the foam-fecked water. The
succeeding wave swept over him
Like all good swimmers, he kept his
eyes open when under water. To the
right he saw the dark outlines of
some dark object, and struck out for
it.
As Sidney came to the surface the
second time, he saw Mr.. Kent only
a few yards away. He was conscious
and was struggling desperately but
wildly to keep afioat. In a moment
Sidney was by his side The next
wave did not break and both had a
breathing spell.

swimming. Three times they went

SOMETHING GOLD CANNOT BUY

There is something far better than
Which men strive for and hoard till
they die;
For the life that is blessed with good
health
Wears a crown that no riches can buy;
And the mind of contentment and ease.
Neither harassed by trouble nor care,
Has a rest in its haven of peace,
All unknown to the proud millionaire.
There is that which the world with its
gold,
With it's grandeur and glory and might.
Is unable to give or withhold
For it's pains do it's pleasures all blight
The good heart that is filled with pure
love,
And that feels for another's deep woe,
Has the source of it's joy from above,
A fount that never ceases to flow.
Better than wealth is the mind that
scars,
And delights in it's search for truth;
That all the wide range of knowledge
explores
AS a help and example to youth.
The mines that yietd us jewels most rare
Are devoid of a gem the most pure;
And virtue set in her graces all fair,
Is a jewel alone to endure.
There is something far better than gold,
That will rival the most precious stone,
A conscience correct is of value untold.
compass that will guide to the throne,
If we list to its dictates of right,
We can face the unknown without fear;
And the angel of death, in his might,

Meeting the ocean with the bay.
This they found to be passage
not more than 100 yards in width,
the cliffs rising perpendicularly or
beetling over the water. Outside was
a bar over which the long swell of
the ocean rolled in curling breakers,
as they reached the upheave of the
shore. Inside was deeper water,
where the waves regained part of
their strength as they glided smooth
ly into the gateway.

breakers we can paddle out mile or
so and perhaps size up this island.

and shoes ashore" suggested Sidney.
Our shirts and trousers are no more
incumbrance than bathing suit
They stripped and padded the raft

they approached the higher did the
cOmbers appear. a mass of green
water would rise from the sea; it's
upper edge frayed with a line of
light; the top-heavy mass would
poise for an instant and then fall
in graceful curve, breaking into
spouting masses of foam. The roar
of these falling tons of water was in
their ears, but they pushed steadily
on. A giant wave dashed it's strength
out in a watery roar SO near them

nearly upright. Five feet in theil
