VICTIM OF CRUEL DECEPTION
Seen Remarkable Government SaItins Apparatus"

They were passing the holiday at Onset and during the course of the sunny afternoon took a stroll on the beach. At one point they came upon an improvised breakwater. where some resident had filled bags with sand and piled them in breastworks fashion to prevent the sea from en- croachlns upon his land during the stormy season.
 One of the young ladies was curious immediately. She would know what the bags were for.
 Why, it's very simple" explained her companion with due gravity. The water in Onset bay originally was fresh, a pecuiiarity of nature which has puzzled scientists. It seemed too bad to deprive the place of seashore advantages so the government took the matter in hand, filled the bags with salt and thereby has imparted the proper flavor to Onset water"
 Far from rebuking him for being fresh" she is now telling her friends of having seen the government salt. ing apparatus" down there.
