CHAPTER XVIII.
Sankala Listens to the Plotters.

u
Sankala had hard battle with the
surf but she reached the traps formerly
tended by Dan Lapham before the
storm was at its heighth. Dan, of
course, was not near the place. The
wind was already raging and the white
caps were multiplying at a rapid rate
and leaping higher and higher.
AT her back the sea was boiling like
caldron while to the south it was
not so much disturbed. Her home lay
across the raging sea while Sand Island
lay to the south. 1t was this great up
heavel of sand and the driftwood upon
it's surface that broke the storm to
some extent and yet left a means of es-
cape for Sankala.
But she would not have returned to
her home at this time had the sea been
as calm as an inland lake. She had
started out on mission and this would
she complete with a woman's deter
mination. She was looking for Dan
Lapham. Her strong and handsome
young friend had aided her in fishing
the traps when her aged companion
was unable to assist. He had also, on
that very morning, left her money
with which to buy necessary supplies;
he had promised her that Ringwold
should not go to the poor house; and
above all there was an underlined feel
ing in her heart for the young man
which only comes to woman once in
lifetime.
Sankala did not understand this and
would have blushed had it been ex-
planned. 1t was the same old story
which has caused the joys, SORROWS,
disappointments and happiness since
the days of Adam and Eve.
While clinging to the piling which
held the netting of Lapham's fishtrap,
to steady her boat, Sankala could see
that the water was rapidly rising and
that each food dashed higher above the
mark made by the former wave. The
pillows grew darker and more sullen
while the whitecaps looked like great
animals leaplng at random in the d.
rection of the bar.
Before it was too late she turned her
boat toward the island, where she
landed without accident. But she was
just in time, for old Neptune's work
farther out at sea was telling and
great waves from the mighty deep came
rolling over the bay, converting 1t into
a mad, seething thing of destruction.
The rain began to fall in torrents.
The wind blew with such force as to
send the cold dlops like heavy shots
in a slanting course through the air.
These struck the thinly clad girl with
force that made her SILVER with pain
and cold.
When cast upon her own resources
in time of danger, woman is said to be
superior to man in courage and endur-
ance. Before she resigns herself TO
fate, she employs every means in her
power to thwart it's disasters. If she
cannot turn its couise, she goes with
it as companion. Death is thus
made less bitter and an example is
given to the world.
Sankala dragged her boat as fan as
she could and then tied the long line
attached to its prov to a limb of tree
which had been cast far upon the
sands. She began to look about her for
a shelter. She remembered an old
tisherman's camp farther up the is-
land, and taking the provisions which
she had prepared for Dan, she made
her way to the shack.

Servants
In Russia
The Law Excludes Thorn
rs Witnesses against
Their Employers.

The Russian servant is hired for one
year and is told exactly what his par
ticular duty is TO be. He then sticks
to that one duty. As long as each serv,
ant faithfully performs the special
duties of his position all is well, but
the neglectful butler or cook or coach.
Il is sent by the employer with u
written note 10 the police judge, who
after carefully investigating the com.
plants has a right 70 order bodily pun
book kept for this purpose.
In great Russian households often
from twenty to nifty servants are kept,
and even the middle class families
have two TO four. The pay OF these
servants varies according TO the line
Of work. While the chiefs" in the
kitchens of wealthy families often re
eeive 1900 a year. il cook in au ordinary
c%itizen's employ gets no more than El2
a year. and a maid of all work never
gets more than Is a year. At Easter
every servant gets a present, generally
q suit or dress,
Every other Sunday the servants in
a Russian household are entirely free,
Their work stops Saturday night after
supper, when the servants leave the
house not TO return until The next Mon
day morning. The employers never
ask where or how the free time is
spent.
Russian servants will pilfer. Since
Russian ladies leave everything to the
care of the servants the latter do as
they please.
The manseryants smoke cigars be-
longing TO their masters and pay fire.
quent visits to the wine cellars OF the
house, but q gentleman would consider
1t '~'demeaning'' himself TO prosecute a
servant for this.
The Russian servants will talk about
fellow servants. but never about their
employers. Even when they quit one
place and take service In another
family they would never mention any.
thing about their former masters.
This discretion goes so far that V
the law considers it. In Russia the law
excludes servants as witnesses against
their former o. present employers
so long. at least. as these servants are
not suspected Of having taken part In
the crime.-London Mail.

SHORT TALKS.

A terrible lot Of love il wasted on
cats. dogs and unmarried men.
So many people waste time! DO you
do it? Do you talk, and talk about
nothing?
How we all dislike the child that

of US need a great deal OF training.
A good many people are like pie
plant-their good qualities are not
known because no one handles them
right.
When a woman's daughter marrlcs a

The Benr He Missed.

the large arctic hare. which seems to
have contracted the peculiar habit of
frequently running long distances on

easy, the atmosphere playing strange
tricks with the eyesight. as witness the
following account Of the stalking Of a

his gun ready and his eye fixed mex.

Fol Several Years Eager Fortune
seekers Worked Over II.
A tale Is told of a rich gold mine in
Idaho with a ledge of ore which once
extended above the surface of the
ground IN a clear, solid ridge several
feet high and entirely distinct from the
surrounding formation. This ledge was
long and unbroken and lay directly
across the course which hundreds Of
prospectors took every year to reach
other gold fields. This obstruction Of
rock, the great value of which was
long unknown, was too high TO be sur.
mounted by pack animals. so the pros
pectors cut u trail directly through II.
For several years these eager gold seek
ers passed backward and forward oye
this trail In search Of gold mines. One
night a prospector camping near this
