TROLLEYS MUST BEAR
"CAR FULL" SIGNS NOW,

1t will be a source of satisfaction to
most people to learn that a new ordi-
nance relative to the operation of
trolley cars is now in force that will
go a long way to remedy an evil that
has been only too frequent in the past.
The ordinance in question provides that
all cars must stop for waiting passen-
gers unless they bear a sign stating
that the car is full.
A motorman who violates this ordi-
nance will be liable to a fine of $40,
while the conductor hat fails to dis
play the ear full' sign when the car
is filled with passengers will be sub
ject to a fine of the am amount If,
however, a conductor displays the sign
when the car is not full he will be liable
to a like fine.
The car full" sign must be in letters
at least three inches high n must be
clearly legible at day and night. The
Public Service Corporation is having
the necessary signs made and rs fast
as possible all the cars will be equipped
with them.

She looked up, white-faced wet-eyed,

touched mine.

She arose unsteadily to her feet

into the dark, the snow flecking the

one hand shadowing her eyes. Twice
she endeavored vainly to find voice;
then, clear, yet with the glistening Of
tears clinging to each word, she sang:

In the intense silence that followed

down until her cheek pressed my

gravely out into the darkness of the
deck, leaving us there alone.

Stork DAY.

At Haslach, in the Kinzig valley, In
Germany, February % is holiday and
has been observed as one for hun
dreds of years. Once upon time, the
story teller who explains its origin be-
gins, Haslach was overrun with
snakes, and no one knew how to drive
them out One day a great flock Of
storks appeared, and they were the
saviors of the place. In recognition
of this deliverance from the pest,
which occurred on February 2, the day
has been kept sacred and Is known
as "Stork day." An appointed official
known as the "Stork Father" parades
the streets, followed by as many chill
dren as care to join the procession. He
wears his Sunday clothes" and a high
hat, decorated with two stuffed storks
Stops are made by this procession at
houses along the line and the children
receive gifts of sweets and small
coins, every householder feeling
pleased to show his gratitude to the
stork.

easily to dashed helm. Leaving Dade
rabove to keep a watchful eye on the
weather, l willingly led the others in
to the stewards pantry, where we
pried open the door leading down into
the lazarette.
That same intense cold Of the Ant
arctic smote us the moment the creak-
ing hinges yielded, and we stood peer
ing down through the aperture. We
waited impatiently for the first frigid
breath to escape, huddled about the
stove in the cabin, and recalling va
rious sea tales of treasure seeking,
which only served to whet our appe-
tite for the coming adventure. Now
and then I lifted my eyes, meeting
Doris questioning glance, and assured
that l understood her mood.
At last, but well wrapped in our
mufflers and bearing candle aloft
to cast it's Pickering yellow light
through the pitchy darkness, we ven
tured below, scrambling down the
short ladder. Cole held the glim, his
black face shining, the whites Of his
eyes conspicuous as he stared eagerly
about. We found innumerable boxes
and barrels, crates. bottles and wicker
TASKS, some open, the packing straw
strewn about, others tightly nailed,
piled everywhere, evidence that the
galleon had been amply provisioned
for a long voyage, and that her crew
had never persisted of starvation. 1t
had been the cold, the loneliness, the
| awful agony of their hopeless condi-
ton that had left the Donna Isabel a
charnel ship. We handled this collec-
ton rapidly, contenting ourselves with
merely testing the weight of each
package, quickly convinced that none
was heavy enough to conceal precious
metal. This job must have occupied
more than an hour, handicapped as
we were by the poor light, and several
times glanced through the open trap
overhead to observe the faces of the
women framed there as they watched
us silently. Once Dade stared down,

in the west, and lingering to observe

A solid, nail-studded, oaken door APP
peared in the forward bulkhead, and
so soon as we had succeeded in han
ding every article stored within the
lazarette, had passage cleared to
it, the men working with feverish i'm
patience. When finally reached, the
door was locked and seemingly as SOL
id as the bulkhead itself, nor did a
search of the after staterooms reveal
any keys. No doubt they were in Sal
vatore's pocket, many league astern.
But Kelly and Mcknight brought down
the cleaver and an iron bar, and pro-
ceeded to burst It open, the rest Of
US crowding about, too cold and ex-
cited TO keep still, but very confident
the treasure awaited us within. My
own heart beat fiercely with anticipa-
ton, and I heard De Nova swearing
in French, quite unable to control him

never yield; but at last Johnson man

and the "Conscript Fathers" think the

chase comes from a company.

CHAPTER XVI.
In Which We Find Treasure.

We began to dream of treasure as
soon as the fierce winds ceased and
the waves fell. The lust for wealth,
partially blunted by the requirements
of hardship and peril, revived within
us the instant nature granted tenn
porary respite. The memory OF the
three million pesos that might be
slowed away below began to haunt
our imaginations, and the story of it
found utterance on our lips. The ne
gro blurted it forth, his eyes rolling,
and De Nova came direct to me, ask
ing, in behalf of the mon, the privi-
lege of making search. There was no
excuse for refusal, even had I desired
to find one, as the decks were
cleared of the debris left by the storls.

CHAPTER XxV.-Continued.

When the dishes had finally been re-
moved | gave the men permission to
smoke, went back to the after state
room, and brought forth the log-book,
which we made an effort to decipher.
1t was roughly written and by num-
Der Of different hands, and between us
our knowledge of early Spanish script
was barely sufficient to enable us to
read a portion of it. The earlier en-
tries made by the captain, although
badly faded, we're legible enough,
bringing the story of the voyage down
to the latter part of July, and recount
ing a series Of severe gales, involving
8he loss of several members of the
crew. Then a new hand took up the
pen, "Balaza, first officer" the captain
having been killed by a failing spar;
for week or ten days the tale was
Of fierce struggles in the ice-pack, and
q steady drift to the southwark. Others
followed-"Alcassar, second officer,
Salvatore, government agent" every

wrecked rigging and death. They
were locked in beyond all hope early
4 in August, vast hummocks overhang-
ing the deck, the forecastle sealed by
Ice, the cold so deadly the red-hot
stove scarcely kept the numbing chill
from the cabin, the doors and windows
of which they had covered with
blankets. Not day passed but that
they carried out their dead upon the
ice. leaving them beyond sight of the
deck. The names were all written
down. There came a time when the
survivors were too few and weak even
for that service; when they could do
nothing but cover within the cabin
and cast dice to settle on who should
go down into the icy hold and bring
rAp the fuel which alone kept life in
t1em. They drank and played cards;
they quarreled, forgetting everything
human and reverting to brutes. The
child of Sonora Alcatras died; the next
day the mother went quietly to sleep,
never to wake again. They did not
even know when her final breath came.
She was the last of the women. The
boatswain, Pedro REQ, passed away
that same night, sitting on the deck;
and there was left only Salvatore,
who had gone mad, seaman named
Juan Ruiz, and a passenger. Antonio
Saltere. IL was the latter who wrote
the final entry, September IL, 1893:

the ladder, up which we swarmed al
most in panic. Anything unexpected In
that ghost-ship made towards OF US

the daylight in a suddenness OF ter

clawing at each other like madmen.
1t required another hour for the
deluge of water to drain away through
the deck, after which We ventured be-
low again, tho relighted candle re-
vealing slush-ice everywhere, with
considerable trickle still gurgling
through the hole in the door. How
ever. we had an opening to work at,
and soon succeeded in tearing most OF
the obstruction away piecemeal, only
to be confronted by solid barrier OF
glittering ice fully five feet thick, leav-
ing space at the top Of the door bare
ly sufficient for a mans body to pass
through. De Nova, cursing as II he
had gone crazy, hoisted me to the top
Of it, where 1 chung precariously. hold
ing the sputtering candle aloft, and
peering about over the cleaning sur
face and through into the black sha-
dows. Good Lord, but 1t was cold, re-
pellent, frightful! The beams sup
porting the deck, huge, black timbers,
were within easy reach of my hand,
and forward the spectral glow Of day
light streamed in through the rift in
the deck-planks above. But from one
bullying side to the other extended
this solid mass of ice, the CONCEALED
draining of a century Of waves that
had dashed their salt spray down the
opening ripped by the wrecked main
mast. No wonder the old hulk hung
sodden with all that load below!
l crawled forward as far as the sill

could look up through the splintered
deck to the narrow strip Of sky over
head. There was a bulkhead forward,
but the ice extended solidly to the
wood. / could hear the ceaseless swell
Of the sea pounding against the sides,
the grooming of timbers, the Tapping
of the jib's canvas, and realized more
than ever before the sickening, sodden
roll of the laden hull. The level sur
face of the ice told plainly enough its
story Of formation; when all that wa
ter came through, the vessel had been
upon an even keel, imbedded firmly,
no doubt, in the ice-pack. l crept back
as cautiously as l had advanced, the
rolling of the wreck rendering the slip
perry surface dangerous to travel over.
The men watched me anxiously as
slid down into the laZarette.
What did you find, sir?"
Nothing except ice, solid ice clear
to the forward bulkhead. 1t looks as
though we had reached the end OF
our treasure-hunt, my lads"
There was a sullen growl of profan-
ity, Mcknight viciously slashing at
the ice-front with his cleaver. Twice
he struck, with no other object except
the venting Of his ungovernable anger,
his forehead beaded, the great muscles
Of his arms standing out like whip
cords. A considerable chunk scaled

causing him to spring backward to
escape injury. AS If maddened by
this, he drove in the blade Of the ak

all heard it; we all witnessed the re-
bound.
