CHAPTER VI.

We had stood thus for a few mo-
meats when a harsh voice. hailing us
from above. put an end to our several
thoughts and forebodings. We looked
up. and saw half a dozen nightcapped
heads Ihust over the bulwarks. A rope
ladder came hurtling down at our feet.

arms. The other made some demur.

looking up as If afraid until her
companion child her sharply. Then
she. too. went LIP. but as she passed
mel was holding one side OF the
ladder steady-she shot at me from
under her hood a l0ok which disturbed
me strangely.
II was the first time 1 had seen her
face, and 1T was such a face as a man
rarely forgets. not because of it's
beauty, rather because it was a speak
ing face a strange and expressive one,
which the dark waving hair, swelling

seemed to accentuate. The features
were regular but, the full red lip ex-
eepted, rather thin than shapely. The
nose, too. was prominent. But the
eyes. The eyes seemed TO glorify the
dark, flashing eyes, and their smile
seemed to me perpetuaBly to challenge,
to allure and repulse and ever to
soad. Sometimes they were gay. more
rarely sad. sometimes soft and again
hard as steel They changed In a mo-
menu as one or another approached
her. But always at their gayest, there
was a suspicion OF WEAKNESS and
fatigue in their depths, or so I thought

Something of his flashed through
my mind as Z followed her up the
side. But once on board i glanced
round. forgetting her I'm the novelty Of
my position. The Whelp was decked

far as outward appearances went.
the only difference between him and
his crew Lay In a marine spike which
he wore slung to a thong beside his
knife. When i reached the deck, he
was telling a long story to Mistress
Bertram. ana telling it very slowly.
But the drtft OF 1t / soon gathered.
While the fog lasted he could not
put to sea.

companion. chatting at his slowness OF
speech. Why not Would it be an

Rooster s.ats the Octopus

John Durvosky. living in q little shack
on the right of way of the Great North
ern railway. near South Superior. has not
purchased a pound of coal this fall, nor
does the speedy descent Of winter hold any
terrors for him.. says the Duluth Herald.
He has solved the yexing problem of sup
plying himself with fuel without cost.
His back fence Is not a good stones
throw from the car tracks. This led to
his expense saving device. One day he
happened to notice some OF the brake
man hea.ing chunks of coal at a fleeing
canine. He was seized with an inspira-
ton. He Immediately rugged up a stuffed
rooster. TIL decoy for the flying missiles
from the hands of the brakeman was Sc
curely tied on the back fence. The roost-
err has weathered many a storm of falling
COAL. but continue to bring home the
chunks OF anthracite and the nuggets

, Of course, IL the inanimate rooster were
never TO Fall a victim to the shots of the
! brakes some suspicion might attach to
Its being a live one. Once the word was
out that the odd specimen OF chickenhood
on the back fence was not of flesh and
blood. the rain of coal would cease. and
Durvosky would again be beset with the
trials and fluctuations that gag at the
purse of the average citizen. He has pro-
yided for such an occurrence.
Attached to the steel reinforced neither
limbs OF the fowl Is a spring. Attached
to this spring is a little Durvosky. at the
most opportune moment. when the hail O!
anthracite Is falling thickest. Like the
defenders of an earthen redoubt, who
snuggle in holes OF the earth, away from
the bursting s~chrapnel. SO one OF the little
Durvoskys will lie IN a shelter under thu
lee OF the fence, and work the spring
while the improvised coal bin Is reapins
the harvest OF the falling coal.
So, while the average householder an
family man scans ~anxiously the price O

John Durvosky goes quietly on his way
confident that the inanimate rooster an,

FINDER OF rs ASTEROIDS.
Patient Setting of Photographic Traps
to Catch the Unwonted Visitors.
From the Boston Post.

- CIOul Tie bOStON EOSt.
Ore of the most successful discover
ers of asteroids in America is a young
astronomer who has graduated but
eight years 6 from Amherst college.
and is now Instructor and serving as
tronomer of Princeton university. He
is Raymond Smith Dugan, of Mon
tague, Mass, who has the fame OF
finding no less than fifteen aster-
oids.
Most people would imagine that this
infers principally good eyesight and
ability to sit out in cold obserya-
tories on dark nights. In ambush for
any hapless asteroids thai might he
ineautiously lofing about.
But as such work is 80 largely done
by photography, the successful aster-
old pursuer wins through patience and
a good head for mathematics. 1t is
\ matter of patie-t setting of photo
graphic traps to catch unwonted Wis
itors among the heavenly company,
and a long search through these pic
lures after any fntruders that NAV
, nave wandered in.
Then there comes the interminable
calculation of orbits to determine
whether the newcomer is some pre-
stranger, though this may not be done
by h observer.
Mr.. Dugan took a B. A. at Amherst
college in 1899, ar NJ. A. at the same
institution in 1902. ara from 1899 TO
