EARTH'S MOST LONELY SPOTS
islands Where Communication With
the Great World 10 at Rare Inter.
vals-Trlstan da cunha.

Though scientific progress has made
It possible to do q double journey be-
tween England and America in a fort
night, there remain many islands with
which It takes years to communicate.
on the Scottish coast are the
groups OF islands known as the He
brides, orkneys and Shetlands. or
these the most isolated islands Is St.
Kilda, some three miles long and two
miles broad. The inhabitants lead
lives Of great loneliness, for It takes
a month to get to the next island,
and the sea often makes any COM
munication with st. Kilda impossible
for months.
The group Of eight Phoenix islands
in the Pacific has total population Of
only 1853, while another little bit OF
the British empire Is Tanning island.
This is landing place for the Pacific
submarine cable, and usually there
are about one hundred people in the
place.
The loneliest OF all parts OF British
territory is the Island Of Tristan Da
Cunha, in the South Atlantic, which
is also the smallest inhabited island
in the empire. It is 1900 miles from
land, has a population Of "A Scottish
Americans, and the inhabitants get
news Of the outer world usually once
every two years.

"oh, Lordy, yes. That's what he

and exercise hoeing them and l guess
that's better for him than polishing

How about flowers?" asked Jane.

A San Franciscan, who had been
hunting in the vicinity Of Lake Tahoe
without bagging any game, came upon
q mountaineer who was feeding q
Gagged wildcat he had caught the day
before.
How much will you take for that

The captor said IS, and the money
was paid over.

another to the cats neck, and then

This was finally accomplished and
the fierce animal stood straining at its

The sportsman, who was watching
the exercises from the interior OF the
cabin, leveled his rifle across the win

away. The wildcat gave q joyful yell
and disappeared in the forest The

CHAPTER %.
Dick Brings a Hostage.

DtCk 6TtVHb y TIOoeabS'
In Staten island 1t is spring. Nature
beckons. Across the bay from old
Manhattan come new hosts to taste
agrarian joys. Bob is happy; James
is in his glory. Seeds are sprouting
in the garden. A bed Of radishes have
thrown up their green shoots. the trst
harbingers of the season. Pale sprigs
of early lettuce are peeping out. Be-
meath the glass frames Of the hotbeds
Jumbo tomato plants are creeping up
ward. You can almost see them grow.
Pine sticks supporting empty packets
mark the site of embryo beets, peas
and kohl.rabi, and, here. is q row OF
poles for the delicious lima bean.
Back in her wire prison the Plym-
outh Rock sings and cackles, and be-
side her another fuses and scratches
for her brood of fluffy chicks. On the
porch Of the Reynolds cottage ca
nary trills and MARBLES, answering the
chatter OF myriad sparrows. In the
kitchen James song browns the clat'
ter of the dishes. Music Is In the
air; life is in the blood. Even Mrs.
Collins has ceased to grumble. It Is
spring!
The Reynolds dinner Is for three
tonight. For the first time since their
coming the new home Is to receive an
urban caller.
Good old Dick" said Jane as she
set his place at the table. Il do hope
he won't disappoint u.s."
Her fear was groundless. Dick
Meade would not disappoint her, for
he was an atom in the great legion
Of the unattached; bachelor and
alone. He had not formed the habit
OF declining invitations to dinner.
Dick was a reporter on a morning
newspaper in New York; political
reporter with leaning toward social
ism and a leniency toward drink.
Poor, blue-eyed, boyish Dick, with
a panacea for all earthly ills except
his own; champion OF the downtrod'
den, but one Of them; an aspiring st.
Patrick longing to drive out all the
hydra.headed serpents OF monopoly
with a wand of words; dreamer OF
dreams, but lovable. withal, and q
stanch friend. He and Reynolds
were almost opposite types and this
very difference in their lives made
them companionable. Dick, also, was
not blind to the attractions Of his
friends young wife. She was a charm
ing hostess, he thought. The dulcet
harmony he found in this home often
lulled his own feverish philosophy. or,
at least, upset 1t.
Jane heard them approaching now
and hurried out to the veranda.
welcome, stranger" she said after
she had escaped from Bob's embraces.
"You have almost forsaken u.s."
Dick responded with laugh and an
obseuuious bow. Never, fair one; |
have merely been conserving re-
sources that may pay toll to corpo-
rate interests en- route. Thirty cents
for the round trip, Jane. Enough for
wiener schnitzel and two pilseners.
Besides, bring tribute to my leland
queen. See!" He held up a paste
board box punctured here and there
with aIrholes that he concealed. Jane
took it from him.

tried to peep into one OF the aper-
lures. She ran into the house for
scissors and returning, cut the string.
Within there peered at her from two
sleepy, light-blinded eyes, fox ter
