few moments later we heard a mighty
squawking and rushed out to find the
island ravens making off with the en-
tire catch. Protection of netting had
to be rugged. We caught seals for Il
month or so. There was novelty in it,
and it satisfied the lust for killing. AS
time went on the bulls grew warier.
Then we made expeditions to outlying

men whispered apart. l had
~ nothing to do but smoke and to

Handy Solomon. l was i'll two minds

authority TO slip through my fingers.

thought with a snort of disgust. but 1t
had led me to another. In the joy and
uncertainty of living l had practically
lost sight of the reason for my coming.
With me 1t had always been more the
adventure than the story. My writing
was a byproduct, utilization of what
life offered me. l had set sail pos
sessed by the sole idea of ferreting
out DIR. Schermerhorn's investigations,
but the gradual development of affairs
had ended by absorbing my every fac
ulty. Now, cast into an eddy by my
change of fortunes, the original idea
regained It's force. 1 was out of the
active government of affairs, with
leisure on my hands, and my thoughts
naturally turned with curiosity again
to the laboratory in the valley.

IL Rohhed the Thief.

From Czenstochowa, the Mecca of
Polish pilgrims, comes an amazing
story of condolences. A pilgrim went
to one of the priests and complained
that some thief had stolen his purse
while he was in church and asked for
money. The priest replied that he
had no money and that the best thing
for the pilgrim to do was to try to
find the thief.
Il shall go into the church and steal
money from somebody else" said the
pilgrim, 'for | have nothing to go
home with" He went into the church
and, seeing man in the crowd with
wallet on his back, slipped his hand
into it and pulled out his own stolen
purse, with the exact sum he had left
In 1t. He was so glad to find his mon
ey that he hurried off to tell the priest,
and the thief got away.-Warsaw Cor.
