Ewes Annie


Chief Of the many botanical curiosi.
ties of the Island of Ceylon is a fruit
supposed to bear the mark of Ewes
teeth. The tree Oh which it grows is
known by the significant name of the
forbidden fruit" or Ewes apple
tree" The blossom has a very pleas
ant scent, but the really remarkable
feature of the tree, the one to which
1t owes it's name, is the fruit. 1t is
beautiful, and hangs from the tree in
a peculiar manner. Orange on the
outside and deep crimson within, each
fruit has the appearance of having a
piece bitten out of it. This fact, to-
gether with its poisonous quality, led
the Mohammedans to represent it as
the forbidden fruit of the Garden of
Eden, and to warn men against its
noxious qualities. The mark of the
fruit is attributed to Eve. Why the
bite Of Adam did not also leave it's
mark is not known, but as only one
piece seems to be missing it's loss is
ascribed to the woman.

He was stunned, stupefied. A noise

his throat. The seconds were golden

Fifty-tifty- five-sixty-the two min

she had cut herself loose. With his

a cry cut through to his dulled senses.

Upon his arrival at Mackinaw, Fe-
lix Hazard did not at once make him
self known to the overseer of the div
ing crew, a young man Of the name
of Fowler. He wanted first to map out
the lay of the land-or, to be more pre-
else, the water-and to discover for
himself whatever might be discovered.
Some twenty-five miles more or less
west of Mackinaw lies group of is
lands of which Beaver island is the
largest and Pigeon island is perhaps
the smallest. 1t was not more than a
cables length off the rocky. pine
crowned shore of the last named is
land, and almost exactly on line with
st. Ignace to the northeast, that Perky
and his precious freight went down.
The detective was informed by a
boatman that Hog island was the div
ing crews base of operations.
why not Pigeon island?" he asked.
Its nearer, isn't it, to where the man
sank?" (The real aim of the diving
operations was disguised behind an ad-
vertised purpose to recover Mr..
Perky's body)
YES" the informant acknowledged;
"but Pigeon island doesn't offer as
good harbor for their barge. This
season of the year the prevailing
southwest and west winds pile up the
lake and make treacherous currents
among the islands and half submerged
rocks. Hog islands safest and not
much farther away"
All at once Hazard became aware
that a passer-by had halted close be-
side him and the boatman, as if his at
tention had been arrested by some
thing he had overheard, and then
hurried on.
Who's that?" Hazard demanded.
The boatman gaped after the depart

the level ground, where, utterly spent
with the reaction, he dropped CULVER

Helen stood there, her tall form
draped in an outlandish bedquilt. His
hands CROPPED blindly for her; he
could not utter a sound.
With rare comprehension she bent
swiftly down to him. One beautiful
white arm went around his shoulders

Felix Hazards experience In a div.
ing suit was so uneventful that 1t need
not be enlarged upon. He saw nc
monster of hideous mien, nor even a
fish-not living thing. But he did
see something and felt something else
that set his brain to mulling over the
most amazing kind of con1ectures
wild, fantastic, improbable ideas that
must be grappled with and resolved to
comprehensive theory.
What he saw was a wall of rock
with a broad ledge running athwart
its face, The ledge was perhaps
twenty feet above his head, and con-
sequently more than dozen or so feet
below the surface.
What he felt was a strong current
or undertow whose tendency was to
draw everything within a certain ra-
dius toward the ledge.
Late that afternoon a tall, graceful,
strikingly pretty girl alighted from a
train and was met by Felix Hazard
at the station. Her eyes were large
and gray and steady, and they lighted
up wonderfully at sight of the lanky,
lean-visaged detective.
