TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT.

NF course the men were voicing
I their surprise throughout this un-
~ paralleled experience
"Whea is he?"
Where did he COON frae2"
"Nobbut a loony wad haze jumped off
yon crag."
HES neaked as when he was born.
At last one of them noticed his bro
ken scalp. He pointed out the wound
to his companions.
THAT was never dean by fallin' + t
waiter" he said
They agreed. The thing was a mys-
terry
At last one Of them noticed his stat
ure, his delicate skin, the texture Of
his hands. the cleanliness OF his teeth
and nails. were quick tokens to the
fishermen that something quite beyond
the common run of seaside accidents
had taken place. The oarsman, man
OF much intelligence, hit on an explain
alton.
He was swarmin' doom { cliff after
T. BIRDS" he cried "Mebbe fotygraf-
tin EN-. I've heard o. sike doin's."
Man alive" cried one of his mates,
"he wouldn't strip to t skin for that
Job"
This was unanswerable. Not one
gave a thought to the invisible Grange
House
They held a hasty consultation. One
man DOTTED his jersey for Philips bene-
| fit, and then they hastily covered him
with oilskin coat and overalls.
IL was now nearly dark, so they ran
out a marking buoy for their net
shipped oars. and pulled Justify to their
remote fishing hamlet, three miles away
from the outlet of the river which
flowed through Scarsdale.
Arrived there. they carried Philip to
the house of one who was the proud
owner Of spare" bed

doctor, and exc policeman. should be
summoned. A messenger was dis
patched at once for the nearest medical
man-who lived mile and half away
but the policeman. who dweIt in the
village. was bird of another color.
These men were poachers, lawbreak-
ers. At various times they had all
been fined for illegal fishing. The po-
! iceman was of an inquiring turn OF
mind He might fail to understand the
mystery of the cliff, but he would most
| certainly appreciate every detail Of their
| presence in that particular part Of the
sea which Tapped its base.
| SO they smoked, and talked. and tried
rough remedies until the doctor arrived.
To him they told the exact truth.
