Investigate the question it found a
hundred boats loading contraband on
the Borneo coast and it stumbled upon
a party of ninety Chinese who were
coming to the Philippines by the i'm

Suppression of the use of opium in
the Philippines has made the drug the
great prize Of smuggling. 1t has gone
to a(fabulous price in Manila, Iloilo,
Cebu and other cities and there are
riches for the fellow who can run it
across the Sulu sea. And there fs
money in other articles, as witness the
innocent khaki cloth that circled
Luzon and came in by way of the
Luguna excursion route. The Govern

situation by building fast cutter, but
two could do more work than one, and
there must later be another for tho
north coast and later another for the
east coast.

the most juvenile diversion their class
ically taught brains could conceive
when they invited the class Of 1911 to
witness a tournament Of jacks.
At first the girls used to play in
caps and gowns, but, as pretty junior
remarked, "the sleeves catch in the
jackstones and send the balls bounc-
ing across the room, and nobody can
make good scramble when she is all
wrapped up in college gown" So
the classic mortarboards were by
unanimous consent discontinued and
the champions were cheered with a
perfect frenzy Of yells-Greek yells-
for the Barnard yell was originally
written by Xenophon.
Although examinations are decreed
this week by the faculty, the jack
stonic ardor has by no means abated.

We bid goodbye to Gabe and Smyrle
and are off again, the camp COW re-
garding us ruminatively for moment
and the collie vigorously barking
sendoff for some distance down the
road. Smaller and smaller grow the
tents in retrospect until they shrink

the summit OF the big Divide is

"Coyote!"
A short distance away the '1ong,

stands regarding us and, too late re-
membering important business else
where, his career is brought, to
tragic end by Conkey's rifle and he is
ingloriously scalped, for there is
bounty on his head.
The crest Of the divide reopens the
broad vista of country, and as the
descent is begun Conkey remarks
casually, as if he were in town and
saw an acquaintance approaching
along the street, "Here comes Char
lie!" At this juncture, however, Char.
lie' can be described only as an in
finitesimal patch upon the snaky trail
in the far distance.
Twice or thrice he is lost behind
the intervening hills, and finally pulls
up alongside with cargo of mail and
Mexican sheep shearers in the "Yel-
low Kid" monster car of the mail
route company's own construction. We
get word that "Old Huldy' is some
where on the road with load of bag
gage for Torrance and provisions and
"gas" for camp; accordingly we pull
out with the prospect of another meet
ing en- route.
At the foot of a long, descent the
approach to the Macho bridge fills the
timid passenger with apprehension.
The slender, precarious looking truss
affair with it's narrow wheel tracks
seems little calculated to keep the car
from a plunge into the dry gorge
which yawns menacingly below.
