He had given his word that he would
not send help back to her but that he

She had controlled herself in this
second parting for his sake as well as
her own. Under the ashes of his
grim repression she realized the pres

have famed into flame. She dared
nothing while he was there, but when
he shut the door behind him the ne

She had laid her arms on the table
and bowed her head upon them and

demands!
His position after all was the easier
of the two. AS of old it was the man
who went forth to the battlefield while
the woman could only wait passively
the issue of the fight. Although he
was half blinded with emotions he had
to give some thought to his progress,
and there was yet one task to be done
before he could set forth upon his
journey toward civilization and res
cue.
1t was fortunate, as 1t turned out,
that this obligation detained him. He
was that type of merciful man whose
mercies extended to his beasts. The
poor little burros must be attended to
and their safety assured so far as it
could be, for it would be impossible

they would probably suffer not too
great discomfort before he got back.
All these preparations took some lit

Trick by Which Sailor Pays Debt to
Merciless Member of the
Finny Tribe.

The sharks jaws are pried open to
the fullest extent; stout eight-foot

The clamp of the cruel jaws drives

shark fails to move the spar an inch
from its position. AS finishing

across the sharks eyeballs and let
him go.

Jaws wide-gaping. he swan through
limitless sea in never-ending fatuous
circles. The queer furnishings he
bore scared away others OF his kind.
Lonely and silent he passed like cain

sheer misery ended his existence.
Cruel? OF course 1t was. But sure
Iv like the venomous snake, the shark
has long put himself beyond the pale
of human mercy. Soft-hearted as he
usually is, the sailor-man has a long
memory. The shark has followed for
weeks in the shadow of his ship, and
has watched each man of the crew
with greedy malevolent eye. There
is a heavy debt against all the shark
tribe for many lost mariner. and,
when the chance comes to settle old
scores, the sailor pays it to the full.
Besides the thing has the sanction of
immemorial custom. 1t was some old
Phoenician. trading out of Tyre to the
far Cassitorides. who, probably, first
nut the trick in practice.-Wide World

American Girl Supreme.

The women seen in the German res
taurants, while better groomed and
better looking than the average Eng
fish women, do not look anything like
as chic as they do in America. Their
clothes do not fit as we'll and they
seem to not possess the air of conf
dence or the vivacity and merriment
of the American women-they appear
to not be sure Of themselves, not
wholly accustomed to the new life.
This contrast is very noticeable in
Berlin. and much more so in other
German cities. This is why a pretty
up-to-date New York or Chicago girl
never fails to become the center of
attraction in Germany and Immediate
ly she enters a restaurant she is the
cynosure of all eyes-National Food

arrow from bow.
In five minutes he was at the foot
of the giant stairs. Kicking off his
snow shoes, he scrambled up the
broken way, easily finding in the snow
trail which had evidently been
passed and repassed daily. In a few
moments he was at the top of the
shelf. A hard trampled path ran be-
tween high walls of snow to
door!
Behind that door what would he
find? Just what he brought to
it, love and hate. he fancied. We
usually find on the other side of
doors no more and no less than
we bring to our own sides. But what
ever was there there was no hesita-
ton in Armstongs course. He ran
