He had reached through the underbrush while
Kirk was yet sitting on the log, unconsciously
acting the part of screen, and had plunged into
the woods again, as if fearful of being discov-

long to prevent the. men from suspecting that
he had gone there for any other purpose than
to rest in the shade and then he went back
to the cabin, where Dory had been set to work
cutting the twigs from quantity of pine
boughs Dick had brought in for beds.
1t was a long time before he could repeat
to Dory the words Bart had spoken, and both
bows remained in the cabin, not daring to talk
with each other even in whispers, wondering
what plan the guide was about to try.
As a matter of course they kept sharp
watch on the dOnkeys, who were feeding close

the burros, one was missing.

Kirk, who could not retain from thus warning
his companion, even though Tom was lying at

been stacked, apparently asleep.
The boys watched the burros, every nerve
strained to its utmost tension, and breathing
lightly as if by so doing they could aid the

among the trees, the boys saw that his lariat

how the burros had been induced to leave

Hidden by the trees, Bart had waited pa

would be even worse off than they had been

pulling gently on the rope, the animal had
been coaxed into the woods.
The fourth burro did not need any such
urging When he found himself alone, he set
up most doleful bray, and ran at full speed
TO rejoin his companions
This startled the sentry into consciousness
of what was happening, and he shouted: -, .,

TELEGRAPHY
The Greatest School of Telegraphy
In the World-And Why?

The only one enjoying the privil-
of our best railway systems; the
only one being furnished with COM
plete blanks and forms for telegraph
station and freight work of two trunk
line roads; the only one being fur
nished with blanks, record books and
rate sheets of the Western Union
Company; the only one with regu-
lar railway train service, operating
on an electric miniature railway,
passing through the different depart
ments OF our school with six regular
trains each way per day. These
trains are handled through our differ
ent stations just the same as the
trains on any we'll regulated railroad;
the advanced student receives regu-
lar messages from the Cotton Belt
railroad train wire. This practically
makes every operator on the Cotton
Belt road an instructor for our stu
dents, and by the use OF their blanks
and our electric railway system, our
work is made as practical as it could
be in an office. Our students are
passing the regular railway examina-
tons, and accepting operators posi-
tons without difficulty. The salaries
paid to operators are from $50 to 500
per month: for operators and agents
combined $50 TO $3.50 per month, and
we can not supply the demand.
Any young person enrolling with
us is positively guaranteed that we
will qualify them to hold good POI

A SHARK HOOKED
BY MRS. EDISON
For Half an Hour Two Struggle Des-
perately to Conquer Fish Towing
Them Down Florida River.

Friends OF Mr.. and Mrs Thomas
A. Edison in West Orange Tuesday
learned of desperate struggle which
the inventor and his wife had recent
ly in Florida with a shark which the
latter had hooked while fishing in a
river near Mr. Edison's Southern
laboratory The report stated that

into the water and losing their lives
Equipped with powerful lines, Mr..
and Mrs Edison had been fishing for
tarpon, but their success had been
negative, and the inventor was doz-
ing when his wire reused him by
caught on the hook attached to her
line and had sped away SO rapidly
thr : the tackle had almost been torn
out of her hands.
Mr. Edison sprang to her aid and
together they played the fish, but th~
rapidity with which it sped away soon
exhausted the supply of line and the
two were forced to use their utmost
strength to retain not only their prize
but their tackle. Presently the boat
began to move under the impulse OF
the power transmitted over the cord
and shortly thereafter the two were
being towed rapidly down the river.
Spectators on shore said the two
struggled desperately TO stop the fish
and worried for their safety. Mr..
Edison being more than sixty years
old and having just recovered from
an illness For fully a half hour
they watched the struggle and several
times saw the inventor recline in the
bottom OF the boat evidently to rest.
At other times the boat was in great
danger of being overturned.
At length the fish surrendered, the
two dragged it near to the boat, AMI
then Mr.. Edison commenced TO row
toward shore. while his wife, almost
exhausted, chung to her prize, still
struggling, but conquered. When the
boat reached shallow water Mrs. Edi-
sons brother. who had been among
those watching the fight from shore,
waded out with a harpoon and killed
the fish-a shark almost SIX feet
long.
