and Boyd recognized too late the result
of that conversation he had interrupt
ed on the night of his visit TO Cherry.
This detection diminished his boat
crew by more than half. and, while the
shoremen stoutly maintained their 10y
atty, the chance of putting up pack
seemed lost. Boyd swallowed his pride
and went straightway to his enemy.
He found Marsh well recovered from
his flesh wound of week or more be-
fore, yet extremely cautious for his
safety, as he evidenced by conducting
the interview before witnesses.
"We are short handed. and 1 gave
instructions to secure every available
man." he announced at the conclusion
Of Emerson's story. at is not my fault

CHAPTER XV.

E~IEE main body OF salmon struck
into the Kalyik river on the
first day of July. For a week
- past the run had, been slowly
growing while the canneries tested
themselves. but on the opening day Of
the new month the horde issued boldly
forth FROM the depths OF the sea, and
the battle began in earnest
At times they swan with cleaving
fms exposed. Again. they churned the
placid waters until. swift eombers
raced across Ethe. shallow bars like
tidal waves,s while the deeper channels
were shot through with shadowy forms
or pierced by the lightning CLINT of sill
vered bellies. x They streamed in with
the food tide, to retreat. again with the
ebb, but thereFwas neither haete nor
caution iRstheir progress. They had
come in answer to the breeding call of
the sea, and its exultation was upon
them, Z drivfng.z them relentlessly on
ward !. Theys. had sno voice against its
eveTmastertngs spell. -
The .ttmeE had come for man to take
his toll
At Emerson's cannery there fell a
sudden panic, for fifty fishermen quit.

An Ancient Industry.

1t would be difficult to say where exactly and at what date the manufac- ture of cotton fabrics began. lD com paratively modern times. says Country Life, it has become an industry of i'm portance in Europe. but it has flour ished in the east from period too re mote to admit of calculation. The Egyptians certainly used both cotton and linen materials. for fragments of such stuffs have been preserved among the other relics of their ancient civil lization. and there is much reason to believe that the elaborate draperies of the Assyrians were cotton or muslins finely woven and of delicate texture. In China. too. and India the same kinds of material have been the com mon wear of the people from time sn memorial 1p fact. everywhere through out the eae cotton fabrics were pro duced and used long before the primi- tive Europeans had begun to develop any of the graces of civilization or in' deed had ceased to be anything but skin clad savages.

Culinary Mysteries That Bewiidsred

 One moment we were eating ducks eggs whose blackened, lime favored whites indicated that their age was unimpea thable: the next we were grap bling with sea weeds, macaroni and the slippery sharks fins that eluded our clumsily manipulated sticks. Now we tackled-not without fear-E2- known meats and vegetables cooked in sugar. fresh shrimps. mushrooms from Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pi geons' eggs and hundred different foreign tasting messes. Then clean plates were given to us, and bowls of sickly pink sirup, sweet potato and Indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only crevice fillerS and concluded the first and lighter portion of the repast. Now came the real substantial meal, where. in every dish had an accompaniment oe smaller ones. containing gravies. etc.. in which to dip the morsel taken from the central bowl.
 There was stewed duck cooked with out salt. roast sucking pig, forcemeat balls and chicken; there were soups Of birds nest, of mushroom, of vegetables and of sea slugs. There was grilled fresh water fish, which, according to custom, was helped from the top side only. for the Chinese remembers his servant. And. finally, at the conclu- sion the inevitable small bowl of rice and rice water was set before each person.
 After some three hours, with feel ing of thankfulness that all was over pipes. cigarettes and tea were served. and it seemed to me that the delicious aroma which rose from the latter soothed our senses and almost dis pelled the antipathy that had been growing on us for all things Chinese Mary Moore in London Express.

Among old time laws against kissing those of Iceland appear to have been the most severe. Punishment was the penalty laid down for kissing another mans wife, either with or without her consent. The same punishment was enforced for kissing an unmarried wo- man against her will; if it could be proved that she had consented to be kissed the offender was still liable to . fine of great quantity of cloth for each Orense.
