Compensation For Poachers.

A gamekeeper on q northern estate
tells an amusing story Of the latest
thing in the compensation line. When
he was escorting the gentlemen round
the coverts u day the party were
alarmed to hear a loud cry just after
shots had been fired. Running to the
spot, q thick bush growth, the keeper
found a MAI lying %groaning on the
ground,
Some of them gents ave shot me in
the leg" groaned the man.
Examination proved that the sufferer
had indeed received a bird shot pellet
in his left calf. 1t was q trivial in
jury, but was handsomely compenspt-
ed for by the gentlemen in the patty,
who presented the victim with quite 9
good sum in gold. ~
That same evening the g~amekeeper
came upon two men in a quiet lane en-
gagged in a hot dispute about the shar-
ing Of some money. One Of the men
had & shotgun, and, tapping it signifi-
cantly, he said t~hreateningly: "'Alf
shares, or I'll go straight to the p'lice
and split on us both. I'll give the
game away. I'll tell 'em low I put that
pill in yer leg to knock money out o
the shooters"
Then the gamekeeper disclosed him
self, and the two conspirators decamp-

of the ropes and were led to shelter by
their r%escuers, whose sense Of direc-

town was got home in safety. But

deals came at once to his rescue.
IAN excellent guess" he agreed in
splendidly feigned amusement, "but
unfortunately the courts demand proof
before convicting a man, and there Is
no proof whatever off,
care you sure?" queried Bennett.
Turning to Phelan, he added:
"Please ask Mr.. Thompson to come
in"
The alderman, with an expansive
grin, flung open the door of the farther
room.
At sound Of his secretary's name
Wainwright had sprung to his feet and,
dumfounded, was leaning heavily on
the table, staring across the threshold
Of the suddenly opened door.
There, framed in the dark doorway,
his face deathly pale, his eyes glowing
with q strange light as Of murder,
stood Cynthia's brother.
His presence in the city hall was no
mere chance, but the climax Of a series
Of conferences between Bennett, Phe-
Ian and himself, dating from the night
Of the administration ball, when, de-
| spite his own resolve, the secretary's
hand had been forced by the inquisi-
tive alderman and his identity re-
| vealed. tt~
Bennett had been let into the secret
next day, and the trio had had a three
hour talk from which Phelan had
| emerged with the gleeful air Of one
who had unexpectedly found a $1,000
bill. Thompson. too, had left that con-
ference with a look Of calm, intense
satisfaction that TRANSPORTED him.
Other conversations had followed,
one Of them in the presence Of notary,
stenographer and lawyers. The trap
at last was ready to be sprung.
The financier for the first time in his
nine year close association with the
secretary net the younger mans gaze
without seeing the latter droop in def
| erential submission. Now he received
back look for look from his former alb
| ject slave, and it was his own glance
| that wavered before that concentrated
| glare of hate.
"Thompson!" he cried, and his voice
bore a world of in%credulous reproach.
Before him stood the one q on
earth in whom Wainwright had ever
placed implicit trust; to whom he had

With an effort that left him haggard
and trembling, Thompson forced him
self to calmer speech and continued:
II answered your advertisement for
a secretary. l had no experience, yet
out Of ninety applicants you chose me.

day 1 should have you at my feet, as
now l have. Fate fought for me. l

ing a restraining hand on the secre-
tary's shoulder.
The latter, recalled to himself by the
pressure, relaxed his tense, menacing
attitude and, with %hysterical revulsion
Of feeling, sank into a chair, burying
his face in his arms on the table before
him.
"Eine horrible years!" he sobbed bro
kenly. Mine awful years Of slavery,
Of debasement! Watching. hating.

al, and now Thompson apparently con-
fronted him in the role Of traitor-of
exultant spy.
"Thompson!" he exclaimed once
more, almost with a groan. as the Sec
rotary advanced into the room until
only the width Of the table separated
employer and employee.
Then the newcomer spoke for the
first time> in an oddly muf1ed voice, as
though fighting desperately for self re-
straint.
"No!" he contradicted. "'Thompson'
no longer. Henceforth I am Garrison"
Wainwright's face grew gray. Breath
less, unbelieving, he peered across at
the pallid features Of his new foe. trac-
ing in them the likeness to the old
friend whose ruin and death he had
caused. The haunting resemblance that
had often vaguely occurred to him
when watching Thompson at work now
returned in double force. But now, as
in a flash, it was explained, and he
knew that his secretary spoke the
truth.

Now that the crisis was past, his
heart was strangely heavy. He had
won. But at what cost? AT the loss of
all he held dear.
Alwyn Bennett knew. too, that the
real fight was but just begun-a fight

The Wettest Trade.

The lot Of the Ceylon pearl diver is
not an easy one. Stones are suspended
on a running rope over an outrigger
projected from the boats side in such
convenient position as to allow the
diver to place one foot within a loop
affixed to the stone. The diver, having
placed himself with one foot on the
stone, with q net around his neck to
hold oysters, draws in his breath,
closes the nostrils with one hand and
raises his body to give force to the
descent. The manduck Tor divers at
tendant), in charge Of the stone and
nets, lets go, and the diver rapidly
reaches the bottom, leaves the stone,
which the manduck instantly hauls up
and refXes, throws himself on the
ground, creeping along, and fills his
net with oysters. This done, he jerks
the rope, which is pulled up by the
manduck in charge. and the contents
of the net are discharged into the boat.
The diver meanwhile rises to the sur
face.-Ceylon Manual.
