AN IDYLL OF
CAPE DE CASTRO
By JAMES FRANCIS DwYER.



IL was Tong Sue who first discov
ever gold al Cape De Castro. Tong
was prowling up the coast towards
Port Darwin, and the strip of white
sand that ran like a lace insertion
between the emerald waters and the
stunted mangroves attracted him
Tong went ashore washed a few buck.
cts of the sand and then pulled his
boat up on the beach. The find was
exceptionally rich.
IL is peculiar fact that discovery
OF gold, no matter how jealously the
discoverer guards the secret. is car.
ried in some unexplainable way to
men miles away from the find. This
has been proved thousand times.
1t would seem that the very intensity
with which the man on the spot prays
that all others will keep away, has an
effect that is Numerically opposite.
Men suddenly feel desire to take the
trail that leads to the new Golconda.
although that trail may have appeared
hopeless only a few days previous
and they explain their arrival at the
field by saying that something"
dragged them in that direction.
This mysterious something" dis.
turbed Tong Sues solitude five days
after he landed at Cape De Castro. A
Japanese and a white man arrived
from different points of the sunburned
plain and they made straight for the
beach and pegged out claims. The
Chinaman didn't speak. The old
maxim which tells us that silence is
golden was translated from the Chi
nese.
Next day another Jap drifted In
from the gray northwest aud the fol
lowing day brought another. Tong
viewed the newcomers with impassive
eyes, but he gave no welcomes. He
washed industriously from early
morn till the tropical twilight was
smothered in the heavy night, and the
little bag that hung round his neck
grew heavier as the days passed
Tong's silence welded the friend.

POINTING TO MARION
WITH SOME PRIDE
"Drys" use a Real Estate
Deal In Other Campaigns.
Sale Of the Evans Block is Spoken
of in a Temperance Pub
llcation.

Some time ago Henry oberlander,
of Bucyrus, came to this city and
purchased the Evans block on
East Center street ror the sum of
$4,000. This was done as busi-
ness proposition but the deal seems
to be now used as material for cam
paign purposes in "'wet" and "dry"
elections.
The following item from the
AmeEtan Issue, the official organ
Of the Anti-Saloon league will be
Interesting:
@ A LIVELY DRY TOWN"
''Who says abolishing the saloon
kills town? Go up to the wide
awake, prosperous city of Marion
and ask the merchants and business
men generally OF that town If 1t Is
dead, and they will probably have
you before a probate judge to I'M
auire into your sanity for asking
such foolish question.
''Marion is not dead by any means
although her saloons are closed, anu
have been for some months. Real
estate values are improving. A cap.
talist came over from wet Bucylus
some days ago and purchased Il
three-story business block in Mar
ion, paying $4,000 for the property.
If saloons help a town and In the
absence of saloons kill a town, why
did not that Bucyrus man invest
his $4,000 i'm his home town, IN
stead of coming over TO Marion"

But 1t was bad moment for day

before it touched the surface of the

of a heavy stone and a few fathoms
or rope, and then, by the aid Of long
pole, he suspended the bag containing
the portion of dead buffalo from the
stern so that it hung some feet above
the water. Quite satisfied with his
work. he lit his pipe and made a com
Portable couch for himself in the bot
tom of the boat.
The four on shore missed Tong ear
ly that evening. One of their number
had wasted a considerable amount of
time and patience in crawling silent
ly to the spot where the Chinaman
usually slept, and was much disgusted
at finding that Tong Sue had changed
quarters. His companions were also
disgusted when he made his report.
They made an extensive search of
the beach, and towards midnight the
moon, that peeped for an instant from
behind the black clouds. enabled them
to locate the boat i'm the middle Of
the little bay.
The four felt aggrieved. They looked
upon the Chinamars action as a per
sonal insult lie had insinuated by
his action that their company was not
desirable, and they acted quickly to
avenge the indignity. They drew lots
between themselves, and five minutes
afterwards two of the Japs placed
their knives between their teeth,
stepped out of their scanty clothing
and waded into the warm water of
the bay. The white man and the 9th

!. Tong Sue did not come ashore
next morning. lie had examined the
beach very early, and seeing only two
OF his visitors moving about he thought
1t advisable to stay on the water and
rest. The Jap and the white man also
rested. They sat on the beach and
watched the little boat, punctuating
long silences with strange curses.
They wondered how Tong had dis.
