3 STORY WITH
VARIATIONS

Directly across the harbor from the
city of Nassau, N. P, there is an
island called Hog island. On the north
side of that island toward the ocean
there is a fine bathing beach which is
much used in the tourist season in the
winter.
The fee for bathing is 25 cents and
includes eating all the fruit that the
bather may wish. The fruit is peeled
and put on long sticks, which is con-
sidered the real way to have it.
There is no limit.
Now it happens that there is
story about certain bather and that
fruit privilege which is a favorite in
Nassau. At least ten of every dozen
men will try to tell you that story,
that is if you stay long enough. In
brief time like three hours you are
likely to hear it at least three times.
Mr.. Brown, who with two other
Browns forms the pilot trust down in
Nassau, told it first to a couple of
Americans whom he was taking over
to the steamer in boat No. 2.
you see that place." he said,
pointing with bronzed finger
That's Hog island. You can go
over there and battle and eat all
the fruit you want for a quarter.
1.-THE old fellow who runs the place
has made mint. One day a fellow
came over and he ate bout 20 Or
anges. By and by maybe his con-
science bothered him and he said:
Say, old man, maybe I'm in
fringin''
"'oh, no. says the old chap, you
know the name of the island"
When the two Americans struggled
up the rope ladder to the steamer deck
they met the purser, who was loafng
about

psd1u HUT awhile, bp0 I've never
been in swimming off that island.
They say it's great And you can get
all the fruit you want, too, thrown in
with the price of the bath. All you
can eat for quarter.
"They tell story about the place.
One day fellow went over there and
ate about 80 oranges. BY and by
maybe his conscience bothered him,
and he said to the old fellow who
runs the place:
Guess I'm eating too much, eh?'
ooh, no. says the old chap.
'p'raps that's how the island got its
name when one of you fellows came
along"
On board the boat when it left Mas
sau was "conch," which is the Mas
sau name for an inhabitant of the
island of New Providence. He was
telling about the place one night and
suddenly turned to one Of the Ameri
cans and said:
do you remember that island with
the lighthouse and the wreck just at
the harbor entrance? Well, that's
Hog island. It's great bathing
place"
go ahead, tell US the story of the
man who ate 80 oranges and then was
told maybe that's how the island got
its name"
ooh, that isn't exactly it." said the
conch with a British persistence about
details.
We'll, what is it?" asked the Amer
lean.
''Why this chap went over there
and stayed all afternoon and ate more
than 40 oranges, probably AZ, at least
so l have heard, and when he was 60
ing to go he sighed and said to the
proprietor:
"'Well, l believe I've had my
moneys worth; but 1 don't believe
you have
oh, never mind said the old fell
low, this is Hog island
THAT isn't exactly what you heard,
is it?" demanded the conch, in conclu-
sion.
mo, not exactly" admitted one of
the Americans.
And what's more, the story is in the
guide books to Nassau.

THE LOVE OF
WAN SOUNG
BY A. n. Martin

AS the sturdy figure paused under
the balcony and gazed upon her with
interested eyes, Wah Soung shivered
with suppressed excitement and hid
her blushing face behind her fan.
This was the third time that the
handsome young American with the
commanding presence and smiling
face had gazed upon her oriental
beauty with more than passing in,
terest, and the heart of the little
daughter of the fiowery land throbbed
rapturously. So she peeped slyly
from behind the sheltering expanse
of her fan and returned the smile
with pretty lips.
Suddenly Wah Soung with difficulty
suppressed tiny scream. The tall
blonde stranger had laid hold of a
creeper that twined its graceful
length round the supports of the bal,
cony and was climbing up. Even
in that instant of fear Wah Soung
could not repress feeling of admira-
ton for this man who had no fear.
For it is brave man that ventures
into the clutch of the dragon when
the moon wells her face behind the
clouds and there is none to see.
For an instant the girl hesitated
whether to flee behind the protecting
walls or await the advance of the bold
invader. The timid heart beat with
terror, but her curiosity prevailed
over the call Of generations of slav-
cry and fear of the horror that would
follow detection. And while she still
wavered the man had gained the bal
cony and was at her side.
Gently he addressed her in the Ian
guage of her fathers, and she, taking
heart, answered his greetings with
soft words and smiles. And as they
whispered, neither marked the baleful
sETes,f from the
shadow cast by the towering walls.
And their talk flowed on as the mel
ody of the brook that sings of love
when the days are long and the sun
smiles on the blushing flowers.
After many minutes the man slipped
cautiously into the embrace of the
creeper and stole from her presence.
She had his pledge that he would
return at the same hour on the next
night, and she had promised to be
there.
But as she turned away from the
street her mother seized her roughly
and struck her furiously in the face
Wretched one," she Kissed, with
flashing eyes, vile spawn of snake.
Is it for this that you were brought
from the land of flowers? Know We
not that we are destined for the hon
orable Ling Wong of many treasures?
And ye waste smiles on a son of the
thrice accursed white pigs For this
your shoulders shall smart and the
face OF thy honorable mother will be
dark against thee for many days. And
II the great Ling learns of this, then,
indeed, were it better for thee to
have remained in the land of your
"athers."
And with many blows she dragged
he weeping Wah Soung into the
house.
The moon shone brightly from her
hrone in the darkling sky and the
waves Tapped gently against the sides
the wharves. From her window
Yah Soung watched for the coming
If her white love. And her heart was

Using the Hitchcock steam roller
methods, the convention was ruth
lessly run for Taft, the pigmies in
temporary control defeating Sena-
tbr-elect w. O. Bradley, the Ken
lucky party's most distinguished
man, in his race for delegate at
large to the Chicago convention.
This was the first time in Is years
that the former governor was not
sent as a delegate. His army OF
friends rebelled. Since the conven-
tion the Hitchcock forces have
been trying to smooth things over
by relgating the anti-Bradley men
somewhat to the rear. However, it
Is doubtful whether this maneuvek'
will succeed, and it is exceedingly
doubtful whether Bradley. Gov
ernor A. E. Wilson or any of the
other state officials will speak for
the ticket in Kentucky.
This split is somewhat offset by
the fact that the republicans not
only Nave the federal offices, but
also for the first time in history

gest cities; have the state offices
and the control Of the state election

YELLOW PERIL

Warehouse men in the employ
of the Spokane International this
morning allowed robber to escape
when they had him In their
clutches. The proceeding was ludi-
crous, but NO actual blame attaches
to the warehouse men. Two men
had broken into Jap laborer's
shack near the o. r. a. N. tracks
and stolen two loaded revolvers.
The Jap was asleep. He was awak-
ened when the men left the shack
and pursued them in garb which
makes the directoire gown look
sick
The Jap proved fleeter than one
of the robbers who headed Tor the
warehouse. The warehouse men
had been interested spectators of
the race and corraled the white
man. who protested that the Jap
sought his life and begged that
they allow him to escape.
So the Jap, on his approach, saw
several brawny white men barring
his way. He could not talk good
English and at first could not make
it understood that he had been
robbed and the robber had escaped.
