Christian Science is rediscoyery
of the vital truth OF Christianity that
has been lost sight of by material
are. and its fruitage is seen in re-
ligion of deeds rather than profes
sions. Its discoverer, Mrs Mary Bok
or Eddy, was a woman OF remarkable
spiritual endowment, and the church
she founded Is a monument to her
clear spiritual insight In its short
history of only fifty Years. Il has on
circled the globe and brought, health
gladness and life into thousands ~
homes whore before its coming only
misery and despair reigned. It's ad-
herents are from every walk Of life
from the lowest to the highest, and
they all meet on one common ground,
the omnirotence and 0mniprcsence
OF God and the common parentage
of mankind. This is inevitably break
ing down the barriers that have here
tofore separated mankind, making it
possible to love more truly and deal
more Justly.

their necks. They're all strung out along
the edge of the channel, havin' fish
gorge. And, believe me, when pelican
goes fishin' he don't make any false
moves. He'll sit there squintin' solemn
at the water as if he was sayin' his prayers,
then all of a sudden he'll make jab with
that face extension of his, and when he
pulls it out and losses it up you can bet
your last jitney he's added something SUBJ
stantial to the larder. One gulp and it's
all over. watched one old bird tuck
away about ten fish in as many minutes.
"Gee!" says 1. EVERY day is Friday
with him. Or maybe he's got contract
to supply Fulton Market"
The entertainin' part of the perform
ance, though, was when the bunch took
it into their heads to move on, and started
to fly. They've got little short legs and
wide feet that they flop back and forth
foolish, like they was tryin to kick them
selves out Of the water. They make a
getaway about as graceful as a COW tryin'
the fox trot. But say, once they get goin',
with them big wings planned against the
breeze, they can do the soar act something
grand. And dive! One of 'em doin'
hundred-foot straight down plunge has
got Annette lookin' like plumber fallin'
off roof backwards.
No, there wasn't any gloom around
our side of the yacht, though I'll admit
it don't take much of program to keep
me amused while Wee has the next orches-
ira chair to mine. We took no notice of
anybody's crouch, and whether or not
there was any pirate gold in the neigh
borhood was question we didn't waste
thought on. We knew there wouldn't
be anything in it for us, even if there was.
WHEN the word was passed around
that anybody that wanted to might
get out and fish, we was the first to vol
unteer. Seems this had been the scheme
right along-that our party was to do
more or less fishin', so as to give any
natives that might be hangin' around the
proper idea of why we was there.
Professor Barr is right on hand too;
and Dudley tries it just to kill time.
We did have more or less luck, and got
quite excited. Wee pulls in something all
striped up like a hat-band, and one that
l hooked blew himself up into regular
football after landed him in the bottom
of the boat. The Professor had jaw
breakin' names for everything we caught,
but he couldn't say whether they was
good to eat or not. The yacht cook
wouldn't take chance on any of them.

gone. He skulks around like stray pup
that's dodgin' the dog-catcher.
You see, when he'd worked off that
buried treasure bunk in New York it
had listened sort of convincin'. He'd got
away with it, there being nobody qualified
to drop the flag on him. But down here
on the west coast of Florida, right where
he'd located the scene, it was his cue to
ditch the prospectus gag and produce
something real. And he couldn't. That
is, he hadn't up to date. Old Hickory
amt the one to put up with any pussy
footin'. Nor Auntie, either. When they
amt satisfied with things they have
habit of lettin' folks know just how they
feel.
Hence this area of low pressure that
seems to center around the Agnes. Old
Hickory is off in one end of the boat,
putin at his cigar savage; Aunties at the
other, glarin into book she's pretendin'
to read; Mrs. Mumford is crochetin' 81
lent; Professor Leonidas Barr is riggin'
up some kind of scientific dip-net; j.
Dudley Simms is down in the main saloon
playin' solitaire; and Rupert sticks to the
upper deck, where he's out of the way.
WEE and me? Oh, we got hold of map,
and was tryin' to locate just where
we were
"See, that must be Sanibel Island-the
long green streak off there" says she,
tracin' it out with pink forefnger. And
that is Pine Island Sound, with the Caloos
-Caloosa-"
"Now sneeze and you'll get the rest of
it, says l.
"Caloosahatchee. There!" says she.
"What name to give river! But isn't
it wonderful down here, Torchy?'
Perfectly swell, so far as the scenery
goes. says 1.
Course, it's good deal like this 79-cent
pastel art stuff you see in the Sixth Ave
nue. department stores. The water looks
like it had been laid on by Bohemian glass
blowers who didn't care how many colors
they used. The little islands near by,
with clumps of feather-duster palms
stickin' up from 'em, was a bit STACEY and
artificial. The far-off shores was too vivid
green to be true, and the high white
clouds was the impossible kind that Max
field Parrish puts on magazine covers.
And, with that dazzlin' sun blazin over
head, it all made your eyes blink.
Even the birds don't seem real. Not
far from us was row of these here peli-
cans--foolish things with bills yard long
and so heavy they have to rest 'em on

Il looked like a case OF watchin' out for
the stick to come down. Uh-huh!
The good yacht Agnes had been tied
- to her anchor less than half day
when this grand treasure-huntin' expe-
dition of ours showed symptoms of col
lapse. 1t was weak in the knees, groggy
in it's motions, and had fur on it's tongue.
If there'd ever been any stock issued by
the Ellins-Hemmingway Exploration &
Development Company, I'll bet you could
have bought in controllin' interest for
two stacks of cigarette coupons and a
handful of assorted campaign buttons.
You see, Old Hickory and Auntie had
hung all their bright hopes on this Captain
Rupert Killam. They'd listened to his
tale about secret mangrove island with
a gold and jewel stuffed mound in the
middle, and they'd taken it right off the
fork. His mysterious and romantic mo-
lions had them completely buffaloed-at
first.
But on the way down here Rupert's
reputation as bold, bad adventurer had
gradually been oozin' away, like slow
air leak from tire. His last play of hidin
his head when the Agnes had been held
up by gun-boat had got most everybody
aboard lookin squint-eyed at him. Even
Mrs. Mumford had crossed him off her
hero list.
Just what his final fiuke was I'm only
givin' guess at, but | judge that when
Mr.. Ellins called on him to point out the
pirate hoard, now we We're right on the
ground, Rupert begun stallin him off.
Anyway, saw em havin' little private
session way up in the bow soon after we
got the hook down. By the set of Old
Hickorys jaw l knew he was putin
something straight up to Rupert And
the Cap, he points first one way, then the
other, endin' by diggin up chart and
gain at it vague
"Huh!" grunts Old Hickory.
COULD hear that clear back by the
over the rail watchin' for t1yin' fish. Also
we are within ear-stretchin' distance
when he makes his report to Auntie.
Somewhere around here-he thinks,
says Mr. Ellins. "Says he needs a day or
so to get his bearings. Meanwhile he
wants us to go fishing"
"Fish!' shifts Auntie. Il shall GER
tainly do nothing of the sort. ] want to
tell you right here, too, that l am not
going to humor that absurd person any
more"
"lsn't he just as wise as he was when
you lured him away from the hotel where
I'd put him?" asks Old Hickory sarcastic.
II supposed you had little sense then
yourself, Matthew Ellins,s Aunte raps
back at him.
"You fatter me-, says Old Hickory,
bowin' stiff and marchin' off huffy.
After which they both registers glum,
injured looks. A closeup of either of EN-
would have soured can of condensed
milk, especially whenever Captain Rupert
Killam took chance on shown himself.
And Rupert, he was wise to the situation.
He couldn't help being. He takes it hard,
too. All his chesty, important airs are

Il think Auntie might have taken us
along says Wee, bit pouty.
"We're no treasure-hunters, re-

pleasure-cruisin' bluff. Who there is to
put it over on don't quite catch, though.
Amt there any population in this part

Wee thinks she can see light way up
the shore on Sanibel and another off

"Let's!" says Wee.
So we had deck steward lug the music

with Mrs. Mumford and the Professor
