To the Bottom Of the Sea.
BY s " WALTERS

"All aboard shouted the chauffeur. I'VE
start in three minutes. Room for. just one
more. VIII you go, sonny? Yes, it's only
81 and you may never have another chance.
Thank you. Climb right in-front seat on
the other side. Shut her down, Jim. Bat
teries all right?'
And the big hood which stood up at the
back of the long, low automobile came
slowly down Jim handled the machinery.
The hood looked like half of a gigantic
egg shell cut in two the long way. 1t was
made of a steel frame covered with thick
glass plates, and when it was entirely down
1t completely covered the auto and Its pas
sengers, inclosing them all like the shell
of monster turtle.
Jim and the chauffeur were on the driv-
er's seat; six passengers occupied the other
three seats.
'Oh. feel smothered.' cried the fussy
woman"
You have no reason to feel so, madam
answered the chauffeur. encouragingly.
There is enough compressed air aboard to
last us six hours and we shall not be under
longer than two. Just breathe naturally
and make yourself at home"
The automobile had started. and through
the glass shell every one could see that 1t
was rapidly crossing the narrow strip of
beach. With only a slight diminishing of
speed it plunged into the surf, and there
was hardly time for a little cry of alarm

forth all the necessities from the front of
that auto Just they began on soup
Jim must have pressed another button. for
from the neighborhood of the back seat
came the soft tones of music box. Rock
ed in the Cradle of the Deep" "McGinty"
and other classics RECALLED the passengers
while they ate.
Before the dessert was finished the fus-
Sy woman wanted to know how they were
ever going to get back by daylight.
We go back the way we came Madam"
answered the chauffeur. I'VE are already on
the way.
mo doubt, no doubt said she. And a
fine chance you have. too. when there Is no
road. and not a landmark to be seen
Look at the compasst'' broke in Sonny
cant you see the compass right in front
of the diver?'
The auto was going at good rate now,
and as they neared the surface Jim put out
the light to hear the cry of dismay from
the fussy person. He was not disappointed
but Just as she began, the dull greensh
light that came through the shell grew
brighter until the full daylight poured in.

The Cape Sable Horsefy.

From Country Life In America
A dreadful pest of the lower Florida
swamp5 is the Cape Sable horsehy Specf-
mems measure an inch and quarter in
length. Their bite draws blood like the
thrust Of n knife. Ima2ine a swarm OF
them darting around one like so many hum
ming birds. Fortunately they are not at
least early in the season, particularly in
clined Ia attack man. The only domestic
animal 'hat can live in tEis country Is the
mule. ana even his tough hide requires a
fyproof stable for its protection and a suit
OF armor when outdoors.
One day | engaged a mule and tipcart to
save several miles of weary Juggling along
the strip of prairie patore we struck of
into the interior to WIS., a great rookcry
When the guide brought the animal. il pre-
scented truly remarkable appearance. clad
In a suit of burlap that would have afforded
complete protection. save that the legs OF
the trousers had been silt down as the
animal could hardly nave been induced to
put then on. So the flaps hung dangling
about the legs, the ears projected above and
the calm eyes gazed ou- through the loop
Eoles, surveying the swarm OF flies and the
strange. We left him tied to a palm tree
for the Gay. At dusk when we returned
the legs of the poor beast were dripping
with blood. and he was fairly frantic with
pain. We had stormy experience in har-
Messing him. having to be very spry to
avoid beng killed by the lying hoofs | felt
sorry for the mule that was born to live In
such country.

Now, Captain Jack ttkho was something
of Indian HIMSELF had stolen up behind
Dolly and the big brave Indian as they
stood whispering GhRtain Jack dldn',
as softly as any jointeds doll with mecca
sins on. He listened to, the words of the
jointed brave. and then he lowered his head
and butted the brave IN the small of the
back, so that he fell over on the floor and
lay there astonished and kicking
"Whoop!" yelled Captain Jack jumping
up and down on his enerpy's stomach me

And he never did. !, The Jointed doll
stayed about for quite d while, till Ethel's
uncle carried 1t away to put on his mantel
beside his pipes in his Smoking room; bu,
neither Captain Jack nor any Of the DoIli-
YerS was ever the least bit afraid Of the
jointed doll again.
That is the way with almost everything
said Dolly Dolliver. ''if you run from it, II
is almost certain to run after you-unless IT
Is the china pigs, and they won't run at

But If you jump up and down on his

big Injun-whoop!'
And L am inclined to think that Captain
Jack was right.

before the auto was completely under the
waves. The while light became a dull,
greenish one. 1t would soon have been
dark had not the chauffeur ordered Jim to
turn the lights on. Jim pressed the button
and the little interior was as bright as
day.
I'VE are more comfortable here than the
folks up above us just now. There was a
big shower coming and plenty of people
will get wet. We will never know it rain
ed" The chauffeur fairly Rugged himself
at his good fortune in getting under the
water to keep out of the rain.
"Oh, dearr' exclaimed the fussy woman.
What If the wheels should stick fast in
the mud, Are you sure there are no quick
sands?'
Sonny, on the front seat, did not wait for
the chauffeur to answer. but spoke up at
once. The whole auto doesn't weigh much
down here. Don't you know that deep
water has a great buoyant power? The
wheels barely touch the bottom
II don't know much about buoyant pow
err" replied the fussy woman. Il know
should hate to be under the wheels. and
L know l don't care about sticking fast and
staying here all night
We'll slow up now, Jim, and take look
outside" said the chauffeur.
AS the big machine came to a standstill

noses against the glass were remarkable
to behold.
1T looks like the aquarium exclaimed
Sonny.
Yes" cried the fussy woman. "only l
think we are the show and the spectators
are in the water. No wonder they come
to look at such foolish people we are.
How do you know there are no whales
around here? Mercy! A whale would take
just one bite of the whole of US. I'll be
thankful IL ever set foot on dry land
again. The bottom of the sea is no place
for human beings unless they are drowned.
Dear. dear! Look at that horrible face!'
The fussy woman had them all laughing.

fear was genuine.

the chauffeur.
Jim touched It. and the whole curious au-
dience, by a single impulse, backed
away.
Even a whale wouldn't want a second
dose of that. said the chauffeur. And the
fussy woman appeared to be comforted.

racks of knives. forks. spoons and quite an
array of very thin dishes. The compact

when Godfrey Lady Ashley's son. came
home for the summer holidays GeOffrey
made both children miserable, constantly
teasing them. and haunting them, as SeIhsh,
cOwardly boys are wont TO do.
one day Maidie was surprised to hear him
ask. DO you want to help catch butter
flies in my new metz" OF course Maidie was
delighted for 1t was great fun to chase a
gorgeous butterfly through the sweet-smell-
Ing fields and finally catch him in the gay
colored net. The truth was that Godfrey
was lazy, and really invited Maide to join
his sport in order that he could rest under
the shade of big tree.
Breathless. she followed a splendid black
and gold butterfly, lodging hither and
thither, until finally he was imprisoned in
the net. and Maidie called out. I've caught
the most gorgeous butterfly In the world"
Her pleasure proved to be but short lived.
Godfrey took the splendid specimen. and
running pin through his futtering wing
fastened him to the garden seat.
When MaidIe found out that this was
what he intended doing with all her cap
tives, she refused to catch any more. For
tunately servant here summoned Geoffrey
TO his mother and Madie and Gerald (whO
was always at her side were lost In pity
for the trembling butterfly.
ITS my butterfly. any way said Maidie.
81 ca ught II, and IL is mine to do with as l
please. I'll let 1t go out in the sunshine. I
don't care what Godfrey will say
Suiting her action to the word, the pin
was withdrawn. and the butterfly free.
Maide had thought the captive was only an
ordinary butterfly. Imagine her surprise to
hear it say. in the sweetest. fainteSt voice,
Little maid, I'll never forget your mercy.
