They gathered the stores from the

lighted, and while Iris attended to the
kitchen the sailor felled several young
trees. He wanted poles, and these
were the right size and shape. He

elevated perch. They could look to
every point Of the compass except a
small section on the southwest. Here
the trees rose behind them until the
brow of the precipice was reached. a
The emergence into a sunlt pano-
rama of land and sea, though expected,

peared to stand almost exactly in the
center Of the island, which was cres-
cent shaped. 1t was no larger than the
sailor had estimated. The new slopes
nov revealed were covered with ver-
dure down to the very edge of the wa
ter, which for nearly mile seward
broke over jagged reefs. The sea look
ed strangely calm from this height.
Irregular blue patches on the horizon
to south and east caught the mans
first glance. He unslung the binocu-
lars he still carried and focused them
eagerly.

too!''
How odd" whispered Iris, more
concerned in the scrutiny of her imme
date surroundings. jerks glanced at
her sharply. She was not looking at
the islands, but at curious hollow, a
quarry like depression beneath them to
the right, distant about 800 yards and
not far removed from the small pla-
teau containing the well, though iso-
lated from it by the south angle of the
main cliff.
Here, in great circle, there was not
a vestige Of grass, shrub or tree, moth
ing save brown rock and sand. At first
the sailor deemed it to be the dried up
bed of a small lake. This hypothesis
would not serve, else it would be
choked with verdure. The pit stared
up at them like an ominous eye. though
neither paid further attention to it, for

himself in this rock. with mining uten-

There was relief in hearing his own
voice. He could hum and think and
act. Aiming himself with the AK. he
attacked the bushes and branches of
trees in front of the cave. He cut a
fresh approach 10 the well and threw
the litter over the skeleton. At first
he was inclined to bury 1t where 1t
lay, but he disliked the idea of Iris
walking unconsciously over the place.
No time could be wasted that day. He
would seize an early opportunity to
act as gravedigger.

an hour he rejoined the girl. She saw

Misfortune From His Friends Here.
Edward E. Rice, the theatrical manager,
was arrested yesterday by Detective Ser
geant Day on a warrant issued by Judge
Henry D. Harlan Of the Criminal Branch
Of the Supreme Court ofiBalhmore, charging
him with defrauding the Eutaw House
OF that city. Rice was taken before Magis-
trate Whitman in the Tombs police court
and remanded to the Tombs for thirty days
without a hearing.
Attached to the warrant for Rioe's arrest
we're three indictments, found by the Grand
Jury of Baltimore on May 20, charging him
with defrauding the hotel out Of board
bills amounting TO $3.50.
When Rice wac arrested yesterday he
tried by every means to prevent his friends
from learning about it. He was not forced
TO stand in line with other prisoners, but
was allowed to sit on a bench within, the

When Rice was arraigned before Magis-
trate Whitman he didn't ask for an examina-
ton. He didn't seem to realize the serious
ness of the charge on which he was arrested.
In Maryland ~defrauding a hotel is a felony
and punishable by from one to five years
imprisonment.
As Rice was being taken from the court
room the lawyer friend, who had left before
the ~arraignment, returned.
Where are they taking your he asked.
ITO the Tombs," was the reply.
For what?"
Just a trifing matter, that's all"
When the lawyer learned that Rice had
been remanded to the Tombs without ex-
animation he said he could ave got him

NO HASSENPFEFFER INJUNCTION
susanne Can't Cook II for the Public. but
Her Friends May Enjoy II.

Supreme Court Justice Newburger has
decided that Suzanne Merts may keep on
cooking her delicious hassenpfefer for her
family and friends, even though she is
debarred by contract from cooking for her
husbands restaurant.
As THE Sun told a few days ago, when
Mrs. Mertz sold out her restaurant at 4lo
East T~wenty-third street to Annie Wiehart,
there was a provision in the bill Of sale
that Susanna, whose cooking Is known
far and wide in the Gas House district,
should not open another restaurant or
engage herself as a cook in the districts
counting ten city blocks in every direction.
Not long afterward Susanne's husband
opened a restaurant at 40s East Twenty
third street, four doors away from the old
place. Mrs. Wiehart saw Susanne cook
ing there and YER to law about it. Susanna
was ordered not to cook for the new res
taurant.
Justice Amend granted the injunction,
and on its being violated Justice Fitzgerald
fined Susanna $25, which she paid, for con-
tempt OF court. Susanna said then that
she never knew anything about the COW
enant in the bill Of sale and wouldn't have
signed 1t II she had.
OF her walters made afidavits that they
had seen Susanne cooking again at 40s.
Mrs. Wiehart asked that she be fined again.

Anyway, said Susanna, since she had been
fined she had been very particular not to
cook anything for the restaurant. Any
cooking she had done had been merely
the preparation Of some special dishes, a
inimitable excellence, Tor the family or a
party Of friends that might drop in for a
Joyous occasion. And that, she thought,
