wriggling through the green water
He followed 1t cautiously, into the
vitals of the cabin of the captain.
There at the far end he saw Lar
sens shadowy figure. upright upon
its feet, but bending over some
thing that lay before him.
Briscoe crept up behind the
Swede. No sound was audible to
either man, encased as they were
in the strong helmets, and he was
enabled to approach directly be-
hind the giant and to look over his
soulder. Larsen was bending over
a small sea chest. But from it's in
terror, even in that half darkness,
their flashed streams and sparkles
of light from magnificent array
of diamonds, rubies and other
gems, set into bracelets and neck
laces. And hard by was the skele-
ton of the captain. Evidently he
had opened the chest to secure the
jewels when his fate overlook him.
Briscoe started, toppled, and fell
against Larsen. The Swede sprang
round.
He stood glaring at Briscoe for
one instant; then plunged for his
throat The sight of the coveted
wealth, whose existence was I'M
suspected by the salvage operators,
had evidently affected his reason;
no other man should learn of that
splendid prize. The recognition of
the Swede's determination flashed
across Briscoe's brain on the in
slant. Automatically he ducked his
head to avoid the crashing blow
of the giants fists against the
glass of his helmet. Once this was
broken, he would be instantly in
undated by the waters. This was
the vital point of the divers or
ganism. The strong air pipe, fash
toned to defy the fraying timbers
of ships, could not be severed with
out an axe. 1t was only the glass
that BriscOe faered for.
In the slime and ooze the men
grappled with one another like
wild animals. All Larsen's efforts
were directed to shattering the
glass of Briscoe's helmet. His
giant strength enabled him easily
to overpower the lighter man. But
he could not give his fists SUI
ficient momentum, in the encom-
passing water. to effect his pur-
pose. Suddenly, however, his eye
caught sight of an iron bolt that
rested almost at the foot of the
chest. He stretched out one arm,
caught it between his fingers, and,
with an exultant cry that was alb
solutely inaudible behind the glass
of his own helmet, smashed that of
Briscoe. Then, cautiously olsen
tangling himself from the slain
mans body, he picked his way to
the outside of the vessel and gave
the signal to be pulled up.
Suddenly, just as he began to as
cend through the water, he felt his
legs caught in an unbreakabIe
clasp. With the last vestiges Of
his strength Briscoe, choking and
strangling, had flung his arms
around Larsen's ankles. In vain
were the Swede's struggles to free
himself. Upward he rose, until he
was deposited upon the deck of the
salvage tug, carrying with him the
living witness to both his jewels
and his attempted crime.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-All roads
lead to the Bronx zoo, where may
be seen the giant polar bear that
Paul Rainey and Harry Whitney
brought back from the frozen north.
And he is some bear, more than
nine feet long and scrapper from
Scrap county. Timid people do not
linger long near the cage of Silver
King when his majesty is having
one of the frequent tantrums which
have been his delight ever since
civilization claimed him.
1t may be that his enormous
strength will not break the iron
bars at which he tugs with teeth
and claws; 1t may be quite safe to
stand and gaze into his great red
mouth as he roars and growls in
frantic rage-but some folks would
rather go over and counts the spots
on the giraffe.
TWAS A JOB TO COOP HIM.
They had one swell time with
Silver King, getting him locked up
in that coop at the zoo. He came
down from Pearyland in a stout
wooden cage, in which he had
frothed and snorted during the long
voyage of the good ship Boethic. He
raised such an awful rumpus when
they took him off the ship that
four pounds of chloroform, gathered
hastily from all the drug stores in
the vicinity, was used to subdue
him.
Silver King was still groggy from
the chloroform when they got him
to the ZOO, and there were fears
that possibly an overdose had put
the magnificent beast into kingdom
come. But no trifling swabful of
chloroform could do away with Sill
yer King.
He was quite himself as soon as
| he had been poked out of the
wooden cage into the iron barred
den. Before the cage could be
moved away and the door Of the
den closed, he was all over the
place.
HE ALWAYS "cAME BACK"
He thrust his mighty paws
through the bars, and slashed saw
agely in all directions. Nobody
dared go near the iron door, to pull
it shut. The job was being done at
night, with searchlight, and fin
ally the light was wheeled close to
the den and the beam turned
squarely into the bears paws. He
put his paws over them, just as a
person would do, and staggered
black, blinded by the glare. Then
the door was slammed.
Later came zoo attendant with
scraper, to clean the cage. His
scraper was pulled from his grasp
and broken to bits by the furious
bear. Another scraper went the

THE SEA-CHEST.
BY Harold Carter.

Twenty fathoms beneath the
waters of Hawks Gap the Spanish
merchantmen rested, her side torn
out by the rocks that had closed
their teeth on her within sight of
the port. The salvage tug lay an

lays of divers we're being sent down

chief officer. 'If anything's wrong
do what you can. If not, send him

The helmet with it's glass front
was fastened over the mans neck
and he was lowered into the
depths. AS the water closed over

 ''Can you make bread?' was the question put to each applicant.
 Of all the maids who professed to own that accomplishment the mistress chose the one with the frailest hands and arms.
 'I don't know about the wisdom of that choice.'' ventured a male member of the family. Wouldn't it have been better to pick out a sturdier girl?''
 'tNot at all,'' said the lady. What we require in this family, above all things, is good bread. We half live on bread. I am confident have chosen a good breadmaker. A girl with rather delicate hands always makes better bread than one whose fists are like sledge hammers. Bread to be good needs to be coddled in the knead- ing.

 ''In the spring of 1892, being in the vicinity of West Swanzey, N. H., l drove over to call on my old friend, Den Thompson. It happened that l called at an inopportune time, as the women folk were housekeeping. In fact, I noticed as I drove up to the house that the clotheslines in the yard back of the house were laden with carpets.
 Den was very anxious that I should look over his prize fowls, in which he took especial pride. We went out into the big yard back of the house. As Den was pointing out to me his favor ties we noticed one old hen going through some queer antics. She was pecking away at something on the ground, lifting it in her bill and drop ping it again.
 Whats the matter with the old Biddy, anyway, Den@ asked.
