CHAPTER xxxliI.
On the Sands.


A man, bearing in his arms the mo-
tionless form of a woman, paused later
that night in the shadow of low
stone howell, near the lower gate OF
the Mount As he crouched beneath
the thatch projecting like the rim OF
an old hat above him his eyes. eager.

to traverse from the end of the mar
row alley, where he had stopped, to
the open entrance at the base of the
rock to the sands. The goal was not
far; but a few moments would have
sufficed to reach it; only between him
and the point he had so long been
striving to attain, an obstacle, or group
of obstacles, interviewed, Before

Banana Eaters.

Americans used to be called a nation
of pie eaters Today a more appro-
pirate term would be a nation of ba-
mana eaters. The United States takes
more than two-thirds of the bananas
shipped to the handlers in the world.
Part of this prominence in banana
consumption is due to geography; the
source of supply on the Caribbean is
almost at our doors. Part is due to
accident; a Boston skipper introduced
the American public to this tropical
fruit while it was still unknown in
Europe Whatever reason one may
choose to give, the United States is
the worlds chief banana market, and
though the use of this fruit is increas-
ing abroad, the American boy remains
the Jamaica growers best friend.
