WE'D, JAN. 10, leC6'

In the Senatorial fight last
Wednesday, Judge Paynter won
on first ballot in the Democratic
caucus. His election takes place
to-day in a joint meeting OF the
two houses, but he will not enter
on his term until March 4th,
1907. In the election OF Judge
Paynter we feel that Kentucky
will still be ably and faithfully
represented in the upper house
of our National Congress. The
strongest plea and the only clam
or against him was, that he was
the machine candidate. This
had it's origin in his opponent.
and in our judgment worked to
the detriment of Senator Black
burn. True we have a tender
feeling for the defeated Senator,
but presume that he will take his
medicine like a man. He has
faithfully represented Kentucky
for many years, and has been a
champion in the ranks Of Democ-
racy, standing firmly to his party
and party nominees, al along the
line, but in this he has no more
than done his duty, as thousands
of others have likewise : done.
He is the architect Of his own
defeat, and the shaper of his
own destiny. Machine methods
are rarely ever endorsed. save by
those who are to profit by such
methods, and to push his claims
he conceived the idea that a fear
full machine was in existence at
Frankfort, and that he was the

"a rusty HATCHEI Was JHE +
THAT NE DREW T'0RTH

that his stay there would be for any length OF
time.
Having finally pitched upon a good place,
he lashed either end of the proa's mast to
lofty palm, and built very much such a
''wigwam" as he had done in his boyhood
days when roaming about the Seavlle woods.
One side was open to the sea, the roof and
ends were covered by the proa's sail, and un-
less there came a very heavy, driving storm,
Fred had a pretty good shelter for this warm,
tropical climate.
In one corner he placed his mats; this was
his sleeping apartments: In front he built an
oven of coral blocks-a most excellently ven
tllated kitchen, it must be confessed. A "best
room" and dining apartments were for obvi-
GUS reasons not included in his new home.
But when the house was finished he found
himself out of employment. In vain he tramp
ed from one end of the island to the other;
he made no new discoveries.
There was no wreck conveniently wedged be-
tween two rocks, from which he could bring
to this island abode firearms, cooking utensils
and clothing
There were no. wild goats to hunt, or wild
pigs to chase. There was nothing except fish
and it was no fun catching them where they
were so plenty. He had forgotten what day
it was when he was captured by the Malays
and so had no means of knowing the day Of
the week or month. All he could tell about
it was that it was some time in January.
His sailor clothes grew ragged and he had
nothing to mend them with. Oh. how the
days dragged! and what relief it was when
night came, and he could forget his sorrows
in sleep!
He felt that a year of such existence would
drive him mad, or make an idiot of him, and
oh, how earnestly he prayed for relief!
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-18

to9erably dry, but his roof leaked wofully in
places.
"If | could only run across a cave now,
SAID Fred, on one of these dreary days, as
he sat huddled up in dsconsolate heap by
the fireplace, watching the rain as 1t trlckieq
could manage to keep comfortable TN the
added
For it was damp and often quite cool for
| day at a time. Then it would clear up for an
hour or two, and the sun would blaze down
with an intense heat.
At such times, Fred used to get. his fire
wood together and catch fish, which, with
some vans that he had fortunately discovered
growing in the interior, made DIP MS monoto-
nous diet, for he had got tired Of eating bread
fruit and plantains day after day.
He had heard Doctor Breen say that caves
were very common among the islands OF the
Pacific Ocean, some of them being Of great
extent, and, tired of sitting in the half=datk,
ness, listening to the distant breakers and
the occasional dashes OF rain, flei pushed
aside the rude curtain of twisted withes,
which served him for door, and, unmlndful
of the rain which was still falling, he started
out
Not far from his hut, a sort of miniature
promontory of coral blocks, cemented together
by the action of the elements, started from
the shore and jutted out little way into the
lagoon.
mo chance for cave here he muttered,
discontentedly, as he surveyed the seamless
edge, ''and a fellow can't hew one out with
jack knife, or hatchet, as they do in the story
books"
AS he spoke, he walked out to the extreme
verge of the ledge-which was some ten feet
above the waters edge, and ran ,perpendicu-
larly down, like the lace of wall
Here he gazed disconsoatey out upon the
ocean, but, owing to the mist, he could not
see much beyond the reef.
He was turning away, when, happening to
look downward through the clear water, he
saw shell of the pearly nautilus laying on
the white bottom.
He had already secured some fine specimens
of coral and the like, at odd times, by div
be- he took ''plurge bath" morning and
evening.
'If am ragged, 1 can keep clean," he
said.
And think to this habit he owed much of
the sturdy health which he enjoyed
Thus he had become quite an expert diver,
so, stripping off, he expelled the air from
his lungs with a a few vigorous exhalations,
and having drawn in deep draught, "took
a header" straight down for the coveted
prize.
But when within foot of the bottom, he
felt himself suddenly swept in toward the
ledge by the resstess force of a powerful
undertow, about which he had entirely forgot
ten in his haste.
That he should be dashed with terrible force
against the face of the coral formation was
the thought which flashed like lightning across
his BRAIN and as he closed his eyes powerless
to resist the shock, the events of his life
passed before his mental vision in second of
time:
"If I only could have found brother Jack!"

wrapping, which took the scales and skin
with it, and there was the white, fakey
meat.
Salt was at hand, where the sea water had
reef by the action of the sun, and Fred felt
assured, as he made hearty meal that even
ing, that whatever might happen he should
not have to live on vegetable diet alto
gether
"And now for shelter" he said, as, on
the next morning. hatchet in hand, he saun-
tered from place to place along the shore near
the edge of the grove.
Something temporary, Of COURSE" he kept
saying to himself, as he looked about for two
trees which would be the proper distance
apart.
For he would not allow himself to think

using some low-lying rock as a basis upon
which to rear its structure.
As soon as they have raised the reef so that
it is nearly dry at lowwater mark, they cease
All kinds of sea shells, fragments of coral,
torn from the bottom by the terrible under
tow, are thrown upon the reef These grad
ualy become pulverized by the constant ac-
tion of the waves, and are in the course of years
cemented by the burning sun into a solid mass,
which Is being constantly added to by the
sea.
Then the heat of the sun again penetrates
the dry, stone and splits it into flakes, which
gradually are resolved into sand, and thus
the island is raised above high-water mark.
Now comes the fertilizing process. Fish and
marine animals are cast ashore to decompose.
Great trunks of trees here find a resting-place,
and gradually. decay. Sea birds swarm and
breed about it, Seeds of bushes or plants,
borne thither by the waves, germinate and
grow, and strayed land birds nestle among
them. The leaves and stalks decay, and so,
little by little through long periods of years,
the soil accumulates, trees spring up and bear
fruit, and Natures work is accomplished, just
as our, good Heavenly Father has designed
from the first.
And now let me return to Fred, who, hav-
ing satisfied his hunger little, began to
take the saturated mats out of his boat,
which, removed, revealed a rude locker on
either side.
A rusty hatchet was the first prize that he
drew FORTH next came some native ish-lines
Of twisted coir, on which were some very
ingeniously carved bone hooks, and small
iron fry-pan, which, with the hatchet, were
probably spoils from some European vessel
An old tin flask, containing little coarse
powder, some bone needles, a few rusty nails
and two gun fints, exhausted the locker, and
Fred, as he rather ruefully surveyed the lot,
made up his mind that Robinson Crrlsoe would
have had pretty hard work to make himself
comfortable with no more to do with than
he himself possessed.
Still the gun Ants in themselves were a
treasure. Getting together some decayed pitb
from fallen cambo tree, Fred sprinkied some
grains of powder over it, and, after half
hours hammering on one of the lints with
the back of his knife-blade, he succeeded in
getting a fire.
There was plenty of dead wood in the vici-
nity. and, making a rude oven from coral
blocks, he baked some bread fruit for his din.
ner, which really tasted very good.
per. Batting one of the lines, he threw it far
out from the shore; but scarcely had it touched
tbe water when it was seized by species of
gray mullet which abound in these parts. He
could have caught bushel of them in very
short time, so savagey did they bite, but af
ter taking dozen or more he laid aside his
line.
Remembering something that he had read
as to the Indian methods of baking fish,
Fred made a stiff paste of powdered shells,
clay and water, In which he rolled three of
the mullet.

complete pulp. by the thorough wetting from
the drenching rain and driving spray:
The turtle meat and some sheets of caseava
were in pretty good order, and he laid them
in the sun to dry.
He had large gourd of water, but this
was of no particular consequence, for he had
found three or four pools in little natural
the shore, containing cool and pure water:
These are said to be caused by the ilterng Of
the sea water through the porous coral, which
extracts all the saline particles. And in
this connection, while Fred is thus busily EN-,
Nature performs her work in this part OF the
globe.
As you know, the coral insect, or worm,

But lie was not one of the kind, to give him

sitting upright and wiping his face on his
shirt sleeve-what good would it do, any
way?
I'D much better be hunting up something
to eat, and looking out some kind of she.

boat; indeed, he had had no chance to do

no doubt
Yet the expected shock did not come. Open-
ing his eyes as he was swept along, he saw
over his head greenish light, and, amazed
at his preservation, he struck boldly upward
for the surface.
But what was this? Instead of the lower
ing sky, he saw, some ten feet above him, an
arehing vault Of the purest white!
Shaking the water from his eyes, he felt his
feet touching firm, sandy beach at the same
moment, which, shelving upward, led to the
rocky bottom of such cave as only the coral
islands of the Pacific can show.
