and Percy easily dived down to the chest.
lie had not seen it the first time he Owed
because he had leaped too far out.
1t certainly had the appearance Of chest
containing treasure of some kind, and the
very fact Of its being in this unfrequented
spot led the boys to believe that it was moth
ing, more nor less than a chest Of gold that
had been left there by pirates in years gone
That's chest of something; you're right
there" said Percy, as he came to the surface.
4 wouldn't wonder bit if it was some old
williams money left here and forgotten"
That's what think" replied Mark. TITS
awfully heavy, anyway, and it wouldn't bulge.
Let's go down together"
They did so, and each taking hold of q
handle of the chest, lifted up as best they
could under the water, thinking to drag 1T
IN toward the shore and finally up on the
river bank.
Il would not come, however, and not being
able to make a second effort on account of
the necessity Of taking breath, they came to
the surface again.
Mark; wen have to think of some other"
why not get a rope and fasten it to one
Of the handles and pull it up that way" sug-
gested Percy.

exclaimed Mark "But wen have to sneak

"Then this afternoon those fellows will

That's sol" and Mark scratched his head
in perplexity. well, we might take the
spring board out and then put it in again
Tomorrow" he finally said
That's the only way see to get around
ii" assented Percy.
So they went to work with their board
shovel and Ratchet again and undid the work
they had been half the forenoon accomplish
ing. leaving the hole open, however, as that
would not in any way tend to disclose their
secret. Then both went up to the tent and
lay down in the shade, tired out.

oh, nothing muchl" replied Mark. ''We
did think of putting up a spring board, but
It." = 49, '' -
The other boys did not discover the chest
that afternoon and Immediately after break
fast work had been done on Wednesday morn
i-y, Mark and Percy put on their bathing
suits-Mark secreting the rope which they
were going to use to pull up the chest inside
his blouse-and the two again set themselves
to the task of placing the spring board in the
hole they had dug for it.
Herb. however had his suspicious aroused
on Wednesday morning by the mysterious
air the two boys carried about them, and
when he saw them starting down toward the
river whispering together conhdentialiy, he
turned to Will. and said:
I'D like to know what those fellows are
up to. They've been whispering all night
about something or other, and this morning
they've been acting very mysteriously,, ever
since. they got up. I'm going to ind out
what's IN the windi"
So saying he quietly stole after the two,
and took up a position behind clump of
bushes, where he could watch what was going
on down by the swimming pool, without
being seen by Mark and Percy.
during the first fifteen minutes Herb watch
ed and he had about reached the conclusion
that there wasn't anything I'm the wind, .
after all, excepting merely the putting up of
the spring BOARD, Wnen MS ATTENTION was dC-
tracted by an action of Marks that really
seemed to have some significance.
Mark tip-toed to point where he could see
the tent, and peered cautiously in its direc-
ton for some minutes. then as cautiously
tip-toed back and whispered something to
Percy.
"He's probably inside the tent" replied
Percy. In a tone just loud enough for Herb
to catch the words
AZ don't know about that" rejoined Mark,
IT think I'll Just take a run up there, pre-
tending / came after some nails or some
thing and see where he is. / don't
Herb waited to hear no more. He slipped
quietly from his position and hurried back
to the tent, reaching there before Mark came
IN sight.

Presently one shark aimed too high, skim
med over the sloop's rail and fell on the
deck with a sounding whack.
The two men were badly frightened by this
time and fired two shots at random. Then
they each seized an ak and dealt the mon
ster a terrible blow
Up went the sharks tail, and striking one
of the men, sent him flying into the water.
He swan to the rail with the energy of des-
pair, and his comrade ran to his assistance
but before he could be hauled in a shark
took piece out of his heel
The blood that flowed from his wounded
foot dyed the water for a yard or more and
seemed to excite the sharks to greater fe-
rocity. The shark on deck was killed with a
united blow. but something must be done for
the others Suddenly the unwounded man
Owed down into the cabin and emerged with
can Of powder and coil of fuse. Swiftly
fastening piece Of pork around the can
he attached a short fuse. lighted it, and going
to the stern. threw the can into the mass Of
shaEks.
B4ore It had hardly touched the water a
big fellow swallowed it at a gulp, and IA
a second there were pieces of shark flying
in every direction. The effect was magical
The sharks fairly fell over each other 50
their fight, and the two plucly seamen were
saved from terrible death.

- WANT my muzzer! Where's my
muzzer Ronei"
''There is nothing in nature so
helpless as a little child" thought
the gentleman, who was passing
along the street, and stopped to
listen to the piping voice that sounded from
almost under his feet.
He looked down and saw mite of boy,
in very short frocks, with long yellow eurls
and face flushed with tears.
He was evidently in the greatest distress,
and when the gentleman extended his hand
the little fellow clutched it at once.
Il want my muzzerl" he walled again.
Are you lostY asked the gentleman.
No; me amt lost" answered the little
one, quickly muzzer's lost"
THE poor child has been deserted" said
the gentleman to himself, when the boy set
up cry Of, "Muzzer Here tums muzzerl"
At the same time girl, not much larger
than the baby boy, came running across the
street and caught the lost one by the arms.
'You bad boyl" she cried, ''to run away
from us that way. Haven't got enough to
worry me nowT
The gentleman looked on with a smile.
Is this your brother?" he asked
Eyes, this is Archie" she answered, with
the gravity of grown woman.
But he called you his mother
SO ann" said the girl, in q matter-of-fact
way-"aint /, Archie~
Yes said Archie, promptly, "you'se my

CHAPTER XIV.

MARK DISCOVERS A CHEST Of
F==IARK was very sick that night, so sick
hMN that he wished with all his heart
that he was at home, and had his
mother to attend him and comfort
him in his suffering.
But he was all right again Monday morn
ing and ready to laugh with the other boys
Fbver the incident. He even made jokes at
mis- own expense and didn't get the least bit
Ytnad when Herb gave a clever imitation of
! his actions during the sick spells. But he
kept rather quiet Monday and amused himself
principally by reading.
; The others were inclined TO lie around and
take things easy on Monday. too. and so the
Sday passed without anything of special in
terest occurring.
But on Tuesday Mark was thoroughly him
self again, and he and Percy set to work to
erect apring-board over their swimming
place, something they had felt the need OF
every time they had gone in bathing,
"WeIl put it right down there, where it's
nice and deep, so there won't be any danger
Of getting our heads bumped" Mark said.
And. dressed only in their bathing suits, and
Rnsing the Ratchet and piece Of board as
shcvels. they proceeded to dig hole in the
blank for the end Of the plank they had Sc
cured for the purpose.
When the hole had been dug to sufficient
\ depth, they put up number OF small stones
Sstones and the dirt that had been taken out
/ Of the hole on to the plank, stamped it down
as well as they could in their bare feet and
their spring-board was made.
Il speak to be first to try it,. said Mark,
And he mounted the board, clasped his
hands above his head and dove off into the
water.
Percy followed and the two soon came
sputtering TO the surface.
"Say, Pve made discovery" said Mark,
excitedlv, as soon as he could see and speak,
.Did you notice anything when you went
down."
mo; what did you discovery" asked Percy.
'sWhy, there's small chest or trunk right
domn below the end OF the spring board,
and from its looks, should say that it con-
tanned yaluables of some kind. 1t may com
tain money, for all / know. Take dive
down and look at it,
The water was not more than eight feet
deep where the boys had placed the board,

see many queer sights In the way OF
battles between turtles, sharks and
sword fish, exciting at times, and always il
Illustrating the terrible power possessed by the
monsters of the deep.
Two fishermen coming IN from Lake Worth,
Florida, on lumber sloop recently, saw a
connection in the water, and presently be-
came witnesses of an all-around combat be-
tween six or seven sharks.
In few minutes the combatants were fight
ing and plunging almost under the sloop's
bow, and the men, being afraid Of some dam
age to the boat, seized their rifles and fired
into the mass. After few shots the fighting
sea tigers fell apart and seemed to be intent
on finding their new antagonists.
Then, as if by preconcerted action, several
plunged directly OF the boat and hit it re
sounding blow, with force sufficient to knock
both men fat on the deck.
A second rush was made, and then the en-
tire school Of sharks began pounding against
the sloop's sides. Backing off a dozen rods
or more, they would come on with lightning
ewiftness, hitting the boat squarely, making
It CULVER from stem to stern, and soon there
were two sharks floating on the waves, stun
ned by their own mad rushes. but the Others
kept up the fight.

Las Vegas, n NJ. Aug. lit is re-
ported here on reliable authority that
Candidate Charles A. Spless is serious
ly contemplating his withdrawal from
the delegate race and that he is trying
to make deal by which the delega-
tions that have been instructed for him
in San Miguel and Mora counties and
the ones he expects to be instructed
for him at the Republican territorial
convention at Santa Fe on the 18th OF
August, will vote for Judge Edward A.
Mann. The deal, however, is not meet
ing with much favor among the dele
gates and it can truthfully be asserted
that the proposition is frowned on by
many Republicans in this city and
county. 1t is becoming apparent that
the support Of Spiess here consists
mot of the masses OF the Republicans,
but Of a clique of East Las Vegans that
lis trying to control the county of San
Miguel and territorial politics.
