IL gives you a shock, doesn't It,
to learn that the cup of hot choco-
late before you was partly prepared
by the hands of slave? 1t was,
though, very likely. Much of the
cocoa used in this country comes
from Portuguese growers, whose
plantations are worked by slaves,
bought outright in Africa. The mat
ter is a serious one, SO serious, in
deed. that officials of the Portu-
guese government are aroused to
the necessity of reform and are
said to be about to call upon the
United States as the country using
most of the cocoa produced in the
slave worked districts to boycott
the product.
Such boycott would probably
affect the price of cocoa and all
chocolate products. 1t might even
raise the price of chocolate soda
and fudge, and thus impress the
strange fact upon the mind of the
girl consumer that she is helping
to free slave.
1t Is not always an adult slave,
either. In letter recently pub
lished by the London Spectator,
Englands most conservative jour-
nal, a friend of the editor writes
under the date of July of having
himself seen cargo of boys and
girls sold at station in Angola,
Portuguese West Africa, and ship
ped to the coast for the cocoa
trade. When he got to Lobito bay,
the writer says, he saw another
Portuguese steamer which had
taken on $50 slaves bound for San
Thome.
This Portuguese possession and
the neighboring island of Principe
are covered with cocoa plantations.

Joseph Burt, an Englishman who
has also recently returned from a
residence of two years in Portu-
guese West Africa, nearly 5000

she cried, "Ah, Cooper's gravel"
Hazel caught her meaning and
flew down the slope to the sea-
shore. The tide was out; a long,
irregular track of footsteps in
denied the sand. They pointed
towards that cleft where the grave
was. He followed them. They en-
tered the cleft, and did not return.
Full of heavy foreboding, he
rushed into the cleft.
Yes; his arms hanging on each
side Of the grave, and his cheek
laid gently on it, there lay Tom
WEIGH, with a loving smile on his
dead face.
Hazel went back slowly, and cry
ing. But, as he drew near Helen
he dried his eyes; for it was his
duty to comfort her.
She looked at his face, and that
look was enough for her. She
rocked herself gently to and fro.
YES" said he, in a broken voice,
"he is there-quite dead"
He sat gently down by her side,
and looked at the setting sun and
illimitable ocean, and his heart felt
deadly sad. HE is gone-and we
are alone-on this island"
The man said this in one sense
only, but the woman heard it in
more than one.
Alone.
She glanced timidly round at him
and, without rising, edged a little
away from him, and wept in 81

Eyes, 1t is a beautiful site, bit

"But you see the framework"
Helen looked all about and then
said, ruefully, Il see nothing at
ALL"
why, here's roof ready made,
and the frame of a wall. We have
only to construct some light walls
between these four uprights."
They went to work, and Miss
Rolleston insisted on taking part
in 1t. Hazel took the ak and
chopped off a great many scales of
the palm tree and lighted great
fire between the trees, while the
other two worked on some spare
canvas for the walls.
This is to dry the soil as wen
as cook our provisions" said he;
land now l must go and find food. "
Their meal was an odd one. A
land turtle, some cocoanuts, some
small fish, a kind Of lobster and a
palm tree growth which Welch
called a cabbage and which was
not unlike one.
When they had supped, Hazel
finished the little house. He and
WEIGH agreed to rig the main sail

then their oars struck the ground.
The little craft gently grazed the
soft sand and was stationary.
Mr.. Hazel and Miss Rolleston
were on shore in a moment.
Never had the sea disgorged
upon that fairy isle such CHASTITY
spectres. They looked, not like
people about to die, but that had
died, and been buried, and Just
come out of their graves to land
on that blissful shore.
Even Welch yielded to that uni
versal longing men have to en-
brace the land after perils at sea,
and was putting his leg slowly
over the gunwale when Hazel came
back to his assistance. He got
ashore, but was contented to sit
down with his eyes on the dimpled
sea and the boat.
Hazel now went up the beach
and took a survey of the neighbor-
hood.
He reminded WEIGH gently they
had a sad duty to perform which
could not be postponed.
Right you are, SIR" said WEIGH,
':and very kind of you to let me

Hazel In a low voice. 1--WE can

where is Miss Rolleston?"
ooh, she is not far off; she was
here just now and brought me this
cocoa-nut, and patted me on the
back and then off again. Bless her
little heart"
Hazel and Welch then got into
the boat and punted across the bay
with the AK and with pieces OF
wood they scraped out a resting
place for Cooper. and Hazel laid
him in 1t. with a brief prayer.
Hazel's next anxiety was to pro-
vide shelter for the delicate girl
and the sick man. He told Miss
Rolleston Welch and he were going
to cross tho bay again and would
she meet them at the bend OF the
river where she would find four
trees? She nodded. Hazel rowed

coasted the whole south side of the

fore the wind. and ran past the
east coast, which was very narrow
in fact, sort of bluff head-and
got on the north side or the island.
Here the water was comparatively
smoth, and the AFR warm and
balmy. They ranged .aiong looking
out for a god landing.
