Trick BY Which Sailor Pays Debt tc
Merciless Member of the
F;nny Tribe.

The sharks Jaws are pried open to
the fullest extent: q stout eight-foot
spar of tough timber. four inches by
four In cross-measurement. is fixed
transyersely far back In the angle OF
the law. the ends projecting on either
side. A strong rope leading from the
ends of the spar is drawn close and
frightened with q clove-hitch round
the fish's tall, behind the wide tail
fiukes. It is thus the sailor harnesses
his enemy.
The clamp of the cruel jaws drives
the two-inch long teeth deep into the
tough spar. The tight line holds II in
place. and, struggle as he may. the
shark fails to move the spar an inch
from its position. AS a finishing
touch. the sailor drew his knife blade
across the sharks eyeballs and let
him go.
Bitted and bridled. blinded. with
laws wide-gaping. he swan through a
limitless sea in never-ending fatuous
circles. The queer furnishings be
bore scared away others Of his kind.
Lonely and silent he passed like Cain

weeks in the shadow OF his ship. and

is a heavy debt against all the shark

when the chance comes to settle old
scores, the sailor pays II to the fuli.
Besides the thing has the sanction OF
immemorial custom. II was some old

put the trick in practice.-Wide World

How Shark Is Harnessed

Of people and put up her glasses To

American Girl sunrem..

The women seen in the German res
taurants. while better groomed and
better looking than the average Eng
lish women. do not look anything like
as chic as they do in America. Their
clothes do not at as well. 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 q pretty

And just as simply as she had en-
Joined 1t upon him he had promised.
He had given his word that he would
not send help back to her but that he
would bring 1t back. and she had con-
fidence in that word. A confidence
that had he been inclined to break his
promise would have made II absolute
ly impossible. There had been a long
clasp Of the hands. long look In the
eyes. a long breath in the breast.

farewell. They dared no more.
Once before he had left her and she
had stood upon the plateau and fol-
lowed his vanishing figure with anxi-
Gus troubled thought until 1t had been
lost In the depths of the forest below.
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
ence of live Goals which breath would
have famed into flame. She dared
nothing while he was there, but when
he shut the door behind him the me-
cessity for self-control was removed.
She had laid her arms on the table
and bowed her head upon them and
shook and quivered with emotions un-
relieved by a single tear-weeping
was for lighter hearts and less severe
demands!
His position after all was the easier
of the two. AS of old II 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 30 far as 1t
could be. for It would be impossible
for Enid Maitland to care for them.
Indeed he had already exacted a prom

In five minutes he was at the foot
of the giant stairs. Kicking on his
snow shoes. he scrambled up the
broken way, easily finding in the snow
trail which had evidently been

moments he was at the top of the
shelf. A hard trampled path ran be-

most successful seasons. Dug" will be
sorely missed. He ranks as one of the

Lambeth Field in a Virginia uniform. He

eligibility, but decided recently to cast
his fortunes with the University of

will continue a course in law started at
Virginia.
Douglas home being in Maryland, he
felt that since he intended to practice in
his own State, he could be benefited
more by studying law there. A new
captain must be chosen to succeed
Douglas. The choice will probably fall

Big League Hitters of
a Day
By SENATOR"

DETROIT, Cept. 16.-With a strange
looking lineup, depleted by injuries and
banishments at the hands Of Ban John
son, and his awful umpires, the Ma
tionals grabbed the final game from
the Tigers, to 3. Owing to the dark
ness the game was called in the eighth.
Until the seventh, the Nationals play
ed ludicrous baseball. but they made up
for II in that session, pounding Troy
and Willett for all their six runs.
George Mcbride was banished by Um-
pire Connolly, and may draw a suspen-
sion. Gandll and Foster were injured,
and when the battle ended Morgan was
at short, MoelIer at first, Kenworthy on
third, and Moran In right. The young,
sters had plenty OF pepper though, and
did good work.
Jennings tried out another of his fall
cron of 1912 in Bobby Troy, who has
been making records all season for Ad-
rian, in the Southern Michigan League.
He swung the first ball for strike
on Danny Moeller, and great applause
resulted. However, Dan waited him
out for a walk, and Immediately stole.
Then a bit of bush play spoiled the Ma
tionals' hopes of seeing their leaders
tally.
