A Nation of Bridae Builders

with these developments. Enormous

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with the shipwreck of
the steamer on which Miss Genevieve
Leslie, an American heiress, Lord Win
thrope, an Englshman, and Tom Blake,
a brusque American, were passengers.
The three were tossed upon an uninhab-
tied island and We're the only ones not
drowned. Blake recovered from a drunk
en- stupor. Blake, Stunned on the boat.
because of his roughness, became q hero
as preserver of the helpless pair The
Englshman swas suing for the hand of
Miss Leslie. Blake started to swim back
to the ship to recover what was left.
Blake returned safely. Winthrope wasted
his last match on cigarette, for which
he was scored by Blake. Their first meal
was a dead fish.

But the sun was now almost directly
overhead, and between her thirst and
the heat she soon found herself falter-
ing She tottered on q few steps
farther, and then stopped, utterly
spent. AS she sank upon the dried
rushes she glanced around and was
vaguely conscious of strange, double
headed figure following her path
across the marsh. All about her be-
came black.
The next she knew Blake was
splashing her head and face with
brackish water out of the whisky flask.
She raised her hand to shield her
face, and sat up, sick and dizzy.
That's it," said Blake. He spoke
In kindly tone, though his voice was
harsh and broken with thirst. You're
all right now. Pull yourself together
and well get to the trees in jiffy."
"Mr Winthrope--?"
I'm here, Miss Genevieve 1t was
only a wrenched ankle. II had a
stick, Blake, fancy l could make a
go of 1t over this drier ground"
And lay yourself up for month.
Come, Miss Jenny, brace up for an
other try. It's only a quarter-mile.
and I've got to pack him."
The girl was gasping with thirst;
| yet she made an effort, and, assisted
by Blake. managed to gain her feet.
She was still dizzy; but as Blake
swing WINTHROP upon his back, he
told her to take hold of his arm. Win
thrope held the shade over her head.
Thus assisted and sheltered from the
direct beat of the sun-rays, she tot
scious.
Fortunately the remaining distance
lay across stretch of bare dry
ground, for even Blake had all but
reached the limit of endurance. Step
by step he labored on, staggering UNI
der the weight of the Englishman and
gasping with thirst which his ex-
that of his companions. But through
the trees and brush which stretched
away inland in q wall of verdure he
had caught glimpses of a broad stream
and the hope of fresh water called out
every ounce of his reserve strength.
At last the nearest palm was only a
few PAGES distant. Blake clutched
Miss Leslie's arm and dragged her
forward with rush in final outbursi
of energy. A moment later all three
lay gasping in the shade. But the
river was yet another 100 yards dis
tant Blake waited only to regain his
breath; then he staggered up and went
on. The others, unable to rise, gazet
after him in silent misery.
Soon Blake found himself rushing
. through the jungle along broad trai
pitted with enormous footprints; bu
he was so near mad with thirst tina
he paid no heed to the spoor othel
than to curse the holes for the trouble
; they gave him. Suddenly the trai
turned to the left and sloped down |
low bank into the river. Blind to al
, else, Blake ran down the slope ant
dropping upon his knees plunged hi
head into the water.

Fled from Hoodoo Cat.

Deserted by her crew at the very
moment of sailing for the north, the
fishing schooner Edrie, due to leave at
two o'clock Friday afternoon, stiIl lies
at her moorings and all because of a
cross-eyed black cat. Friday the crew
was making final arrangements to sail,
when a yell resounded out of the hold.
A sailor burst through the hatch,
scrambled over the side and made off
before anyone could stop him.
While the others were gazing after
his. retreating form yowl came from
the darkness below and a black cat
appeared upon the deck. One look at
the 'stub-tailed, green-eyed feline was
enough. Every man of the crew
picked up his bundle and silently de-
parted, nor can the cartain by any
means lure, any of them back on
board. San Francisco Chronicle.

The girl shrank back; but Blake
stopped and examined first one slipper
and then the other The ribbons about
both were tied in dainty bows. Blake
jerked them loose and twisted them
firmly over and under the slippers and
about the girls slender ankles before
knotting the ends.
There; that's more like. You're
not going to dance" he growled.
He thrust the empty whisky flask
into his hip pocket and went back to
pass sling of reeds through the gills
of the coryphene.
"All ready now" he called. Lets
get a move on. Keep my coat closer
about your shoulders Miss Jenny and
keep your shade up If you don't want
a sunstroke"
THANK you, Blake, I'll see to that,
said Winthrope. I'm going to heir
Miss Leslie along. I've fastened oul
two shades together, so that they will
answer for both of us"
How about yourself. Mr.. Blake?'
inquired the girl. do you not find tn,

"Sure; but | wet my head in the
sea- and here's another souse."

ITO be sure, the Japanese eat raw
fish," admitted Winthrope.
Yes; and you'd swallow your share
of it if you had an invite to a swell
dinner in Tokyo. Go on now, both of
you. It's no joke, / tell you. You've
got to eat, il you expect to get to wa

If we make it by night, We'll be doing

it! That's fine, Miss JENNY"
Miss Leslie had forced herself to
take a nibble of the raw fish. The
flavor proved less repulsive than she
had expected, and it's moisture was so
grateful to her parched mouth that
she began to eat with eagerness. Not
to be outdone, Winthrope promptly
followed her lead. Blake had already
cut himself second slice. After he
had cut more for his companions, he
began to look them over with close
ness that proved embarrassing to Miss
Leslie. -

said while you're chewing it, well

chips, and not another blessed Say,

None; and no watch. Even most
of my pins are gone" replied the girl,
and she raised her hand to her loosely
coiled hair.

left They may come in for fish

Miss Leslie slowly thrust slender
little foot just beyond the hem of her
draggled white skirt.
Good Lord" groaned Blake, slip
pers, and high heels at that! How do
you expect to walk in those things?"
Il can at least try" replied the girl,
with spirit.
"Hobble! Pass EN- over here, Win
ME, my boy"
The slippers were handed over.
Blake took one after the other and
wrecked off the heel close to its base.
Now you've at least got pair of
slippers" he said, tossing them back
to their owner. ,"Tie them on tight
with a couple of your ribbons, if you
don't want to lose them in the mud,
Now, Winthrope, what you got beside

Winthrope held ont bunch of long

opened the latter and was about to

ally early spring is indicated. there
MAY not be real cause for alarm by
the advanced bloom of early varie-

SWAMP AND ARID LANDS.
Cedar Rapids Republican.l


The state of North Carolina has Do
900 900 acres of land which are not
cultivated against only 100000 acres
that are under cultivation. The I'M
cultivated lands are, for the most part,
swanpy lands. The members of con-
gress from that state are asking that
the government enter upon the work
of helping North Carolina reclaim
those lands They point to the work
that the national government is doing
in the west retaining the arid lands,
and they wonder why the same obli-
cations do not exist to reclaim the
lands in the south that are too wet,
instead of too dry. We should think
that the argument applies.
Nor is North Carolina the only state
that has such problems. All over the
country there are vast swamps that
can be reclaimed that will make the
most fertile of lands. The arid lands
Of the west do not have half the fer
tility that those swamp lands of the
south have.
But the government should not spend
the money of the people retaining this
