/ Van Aam and Nikolai looked ar
one another and laughed.
+ WE'LL said Van Aam, 'the secret
viii keep six days, won't it,"
That night Sir julius paid out an
other diamond for his lodging, and his
raucous shores, Interpreted with
groans as he tossed from side to
side upon the stony ground, kept
most of us awake until the sun rose.
We exacted tribute In advance
that day, and when Sir Julius in last
attempt to save his gems offered to
work for his living, we sent him or
for turtles eggs. We watched him
wander off into the jungle and peer
into the trees; that effort was too
much for him, and thereafter he lay
at home in sullen silence while we
went OF on our expeditions
But not to gather turtles eggs. At
evening Van Aam and Nikolai disap-
peared, returning on the following
morning when the sun was well up
over the trees They called to Mary
and myself to follow them, and, leav-
ing the millionaire sitting despairingly
beneath the thorn shrubs, we hast
ened to a tiny glade beside trickling
rivulet. where we found spread out up
on the grass q first-class banquet.
There was ham, two loaves of fresh
bread, a pound of butter, clean nap
kins, and, to crown all, bottle Of
champagne.
Fall to, fall to-" said Van Aam.
inviting US to the feast. when you
are satisfied the mystery shall be
entirely explained
Even our curiosity could not over
come our hunger Two days diet OF
turtles eggs had sickened us of that
staple food for all time When, at
last. we laid our napkins aside we
rose and followed our companions
through a narrow path IN the jungle.
A mile ahead we emerged into clear
ing! we heard the sound of the sea:
and all at once, rounding a promon-
tory, there appeared before our aston
ished gaze
MY little hotel-my latest invest
ment," said Van Aam proudly, point
ing to an immense five-story erec-
ton, covering some half an acre, set
in the middle of spacious grounds.
Then we are" gasped
"Shipwrecked off the Georgia coast,
as had suspected. And providential-
ly upon the very island where I have
laid out my latest summer resort
We open in q week; you gentlemen,
and you, Miss Boyd, must be my
guests throughout the season"
"Oh, / can't" said Mary, blushing-
Il haye-pve an engagement in savan-
nah. j
Young woman said Van Aam
sternly, this is called Honeymoon
House and is built specially with
view to the requirements of elopers.'
Put I'm not going to elope,"
pleaded Mary.
We'll take you all the same" said
Van Aam magnanimously. "But say
do you think you could endure i.n-
other four days In camp If / hide

bring you out to lunch every day I'M

ONWARD TO VICTORY.

The republican campaign in this
county will open tomorrow with
Mass Meeting in the Town Hall here
and one at Benedict at night and
from then on to the end of the cam
paign the party wo, kers will have
their shoulders right behind the wheel
and an energetic and active campaign
waged throughout the county for a
victory greater than has been the
good fortune Of the party to win in
years. There is not sulker in the
ranks and strong united party will
put its best eff RS forth to win ?
most commendable victory.
Not only is the party united to a
man in the coming fight and every
party man anxious to do biz part but
the republicans have adopted one OF
the strongest and most progressive
platforms ever adopted by a poll
.icsl party in this State and nominal
ell one Of the strongest tickets in the
State and County that it has been
the good fortune Of the party t, put
forth. Every man from top to bot
tom has a record that he can stand
upon and make his fight. Some Of
them have been tried in public Office
and some have not Those who
have before performed the duties OF
public servants need no m re COM
mendation to the public than theii
records which not only is credit y
themselves and those they love but
to the people of this State and
County.
Those who have never before helo
public Office have a personal record
that is worthy Of the best citizenship
of this state, in that they are all men
of excellent business training, upright
and no est, of high standing in the
comm nifty in which they live and
well qualified in every respect to full
fill the duties of the offices to whic'
they aspire faithfully and well and
with credit to themselves ard the
people.
There is, therefore, every reason
why the voters at the coming cleo
ton should support the Republican
ticket from top to bottom. The peo-
pie wat as their public servants men
who are progressive, energetic and
who will be guided in the discharge
of the duties Of the respective Offices
with an eye to the best interest and
welfare Of the people. This and
more they have in The men who are
the candidates on the Republican
ticket While the admirable plat

THE NEW LAND.

The discovery Of new land, even
in the uninhabitable Aretics, is al
ways an event Of stirring human in
terest. The announcement of ST
Michaels, Alaska, to the effect that an
exploration expedition sent out by the
Russian government has located a
great land area to the nor,hward OF
Siberia puts world curiosity at high
tension for fuller details. The Ste
fansscn expedition, QUILTED by the
Canadian government, started last
July upon this same quest. Many
geographers have for long held 10
the theory that there is a land area
about equivalent to Gre inland and
on the opposite side OF the pole from
Greenland.
Greenland is Of almost eontinentl'
proportions, having an area Of S27,
300 square miles. Ii another such
great island exists in the Attic Ocean
it will be revealed that great lam
areas crop above the waters at eacl
of the earth's axial ends. INT
further disclosures are made concern
ing the newest land discovery, it i
all matter Of guessing concerning
the Typography and as to whethe
there may be any remnants Of life
animal or vegetable.
If Greenland furnished clue 70
making guess concerning condi-
tons in the newly discovered AIcti
island we have this to go upon
Greenland in 1911 bad a population
Of 1865 Of which 800 were Eur
peans and the other Eskimos. Tier,
are about sixty settlements scattere,
along the west and southeast coas
which live by trading seal oil, skin,
fnrs, and fishery products for bread
stuffs, fnel and clothing. The newl,
discovered land may have some sur
prises in ethnology, zoology and min
eralogy.
