OnQ morning, AFTER SlSnCnlS cape ue Ia
Hague, there came brisk land wind
which blew them out to sea. 1t grew
into a squat with rain and fog so that
they were two more days beating back.
Next morning they found themselves
in dangerous rock-studded sea with a
small island upon their starboard quar-
ter. 1t was girded with high granite
cliffs of reddish hue, and slopes of
bright-green grassland lay above them.
A second smaller island lay beside it.
Dennis the shipman shook his head
as he looked. That is Brechou, said he,
and the larger one is the Island of Sark.
If ever l be cast away, pray the saints
that may not be upon yonder coast"
Knolles gazed across at it. You say
well, master-shipman," said he. 1t does
appear to be rocky and perilous spot
Nay, it is the rocky hearts of those
who dwell upon it that l had in my
mind, the old sailor answered. 1--WE
are well safe in three goodly vessels, but
had we been here in a small craft
make no doubt that they would have
already had their boats out against US. +"
Who then are these people, and how
do they live upon so small and wind
swept an island?" asked the soldier
They do not live from the island,
fair sir, but from what they can gather
upon the sea around it. They are broken
folk from all countries, justice-fiers,
prison breakers, reavers, escaped bonds
men, murderers and staff strikers who
have made their way to this outland
place and hold it against all corners.
There is one here who could tell you of
them and of their ways, for he was long
time prisoner amongst them" The sea-
man pointed to Black Simon the dark man
from Norwich, who was leaning against the
side lost in moody thought and staring
with brooding eye at the distant shore
How now, fellow?" asked Kno1les.
What is this l hear? Is it indeed
sooth that you have been captive upon
this island?"
1t is true, fair sir For eight months
l have been servant to the man whom
they call their King. His name is La
Muette, and he comes from Jersey; nor
is there under Gods sky a man whom 1
have more desire to see"
Has he then mishandled you?"
Black SimOn gave WTy smile and
pulled off his jerkin. His lean sinewy
back was walled and puckered with
white scars. He has left his sign of
hand upon me, said he. He swore
that he would break me to his will, and
thus he tried to do it. But most l de-
sire to see him because he hath lost
wager to me and l would fain be paid
This is a strange saying" said
Knolles. What is this wager, and
why should he pay your"
1T is but small matter" Simon
answered; "but l am poor man and
the payment would be welcome Should
it have CHANGED that we stopped at this
island l should have craved your leave
that l go ashore and ask for that which
have fairly won.
Sir Robert Knolles laughed This
business tickleth my fancy" said he.
"As to stopping at the island, this ship
man tells me that we must needs wait
a day and a night, for that we have
strained Our planks. But if you should
go ashore, how will you be sure that you
will be free to depart, or that you will
see this King of whom you speak,"

ing Of the wonderful productiyeness

Hale says that from eight acres OF

took five men another day to throw

NEW FLYING MACHINE.
Wyoming Inventor Is Sure 1t Will Sue
coed.

Lander, Wyo.-H. A. Heath Of this
which flies, and with which he expects
to revolutionize transportation meth
DDS. Heath has been experimenting
in aerial navigation for twenty-five
years, and gradually working up to the
successful machine which he has now
evolved.
Heath's model machine, which de-
rives its motive power from the spring
of music box, has flown more than a
mile, carrying seven-pound tlatSron,
which weighs more than the entire
machine. From tests made with this
model Heath estimates that sixteen
foot machine equipped with a four
horsepower gasoline motor, will carry
two men of $50 pounds weight each.
Heath's machine is a combination of
aluminium wings, or fans, attached to
a body shaped like that of a bird
There is no gas bag, the lifting power
being supplied entirely by the motor.
The model machine travels against
the strongest wind.
Not only has Heath evolved flying
machine that flies, but he has worked
out the details of safety appliances,
and his first practical machine he ex-
poets will be under perfect control Of
the operator at all times.
Heath does not desire to place his
invention on the market until it is per-
feet in every detail, and the first prac-
teal machine probably will not be eX-
hibited for several years.

CHAPTER XIX.


GO to Morley & Stevens, | think

note contained but to the recipient
it brought great joy, proving as it did
that Constance had been quietly work
ing, If not in his behalf, to give him
an opportunity to prosecute his
claims and prove their title to be
either true or false.
Immediately after the receipt of the
line from Constance, Edes repaired
to the Office of Morley & Stevens.
They received him with seeming re-
spect and listened to his story with
attention. 1t is well known to NV
readers by this time, and | will not
repeat it. When he finished, both law
yers observed that he said nothing
about Constance's recognition through
the olfactory sense, and they judged
rightly that he was unaware of II
They saw, therefore, that it bore no
part in his determination to prosecute
his claims. After the matter had
been discussed at some length. Mr.
Morley said

son is in possession of any land or

tenant ever existed between the par
ties or not. The plaintiff claims to

Dogs have more acute sense of

Will Tunnel Ration Mountain.

Trinidad, Colorado. - The double
track tunnel under Ration mountain,
which the Santa Fe has been contem.
plating for several years, will be under
way within the next three weeks, ac-
cording to local officials of the com
pany. A corps of engineers with dia-
mond drills is due to arrive here in a
few days to make preliminary test
bore to find the easiest route of going
through the hill. The tunnel will be
one mile long and most of the way it
will be blasted out of solid rock. 1t is
estimated that it will take two years
to complete the work. 1t will cost an
enormous amount of money, but in the
end will be saving for the Santa Fe
railroad.
To reach the present tunnel in the
mountain it requires three large noun
tain engines to push eight passenger
coaches up the steep mountain side.
There have been great number OF
wrecks on thiS mountain which has
caused loss to the Santa Fe of many
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Work will be started on the Trinidad
and Ration sides of the mountain.

could not compel myself to until it
seemed as If it would be wrong to
withhold the fact any longer"
There is good reason for your
hesitation, as you must own, Mrs.
Hamilton, when you view the matter
dispassionately. The sense of smell
ing is noble one. If most people
possess it in a small degree, it is
because we do not need it so much,
perhaps, as the other senses. No
doubt it could be cultivated
You are very kind" said Constance,
simply, land l think you are right,
Still to ordinary people the matter
would appear strange, absurd"
I'VE shall not speak of it, nor make

circumstances can be discovered to

Hamilton arose from her seat and
soon after quietly left the Office.

TOO LIGHT SENTENCE.
Farce Made of Land Laws In Wy
omne.

Washington.-The following state
ment was issued Tuesday by the In
terror Department.:
"A good deal of Indignation is eX-
pressed at the Interior Department in
consequence of the receipt of informa-
ton from Wyoming that Henry G.
Ware, who was in November 1905,
indicted for illegal fencing of 100000
acres of government land worth at cur
rent lease prices at least $500 year,
and who was arraigned for trial be-
fore the Wyoming United States Dis
trict Court during the May term and
pleaded guilty, was sentenced by the
judge to one day in jail and fine OF
$500.
"The light sentence was said to be
due to the recommendations of United
States Attorney Burke. Indignation
over this travesty on justice is fully
shared by Secretary Hitchcock, who
brought the case to the attention or
the attorney general, and the district
attorney has been called upon to ex-
plain his action in this matter, and in
others, where parties were let off
with purely nominal fines and costs,
which amounted to less than one
fourth of what it cost to take one of
the witnesses to Cheyenne. All this
is having a very discouraging effect
upon the officers of the Interior De-
partment, who have worked so zeal
ously to convict those who are engaged
in perpetrating frauds upon the gov

And the result?"
"Neither has failed. Perhaps the
