COLONY MADE UP OF COUSINS

Close by the great rock of Gibraltar

Many generations ago during q storm
fleet of Genoese fishermen put into
the sheltered spot and so escaped the
fury of the sea. In the boats, so his
tory has it, were many women. and
they became so enamored of the SPOT
that huts were built and they re-
manned. Hundreds of years have
passed, and the little tribe still fingers
on. The government has given them
grant of land, and village now
clusters In the shelter of the bav.
Strangest of all, it is said the popula-
ton dare not increase for fear 1t will
overstep its boundary, and marriage
Is allowed only in rotation. No mar
riage, so 1t is claimed, may take place
In the village until way has been made

livelihood.

Pearl Fishers.

1t Is a well-known fact that pearl
fishers aud divers do not live long.
They often have to dive for 100 feet
or more without any special outfit, and
the strain wears them out before their
lives are really half over. From a
depth or 100 feet pearl diver usually
brings up two oyster shells at time.
1t Is exciting work. The diver never
knows whether he has brought to the
surface shell inclosing a priceless
gem or not The Malay pearl divers
are, perhaps, the finest in the world.
When he Is going to dive, the Malay
slowly lowers himself down from the
side of the boat to the water and takes
several breaths, each breath getting
deeper and deeper. Finally, he takes
tremendously long breath, turns head
downward, and plunges into the ocean
depths. In two. three or perhaps four,
minutes his form is seen In the water
coming up. His face is turned up-
ward. His strong hands beat the wa
ter away from under him In vigorous
downward sweeps. His face looks ter
rlbly strained. At last, breathless. ex-
hausted, he reaches the surface and is
hauled into the boat, where he lies
quite still for few moments annar-
emily exhausted. But In comparative
ly Few minutes he is ready to plunge
again.

Gunners and aviators alike along
the Anglo-French battlefront Won
dered why it was forbidden to bring
down the big captive balloon that float
ed above the German forces. Nineteen
had been destroyed during the past
month; but the great, sausage-shaped
implement of war hoated unchallenged
above the strongest part of the hostile
defenses
1t is not so easy to destroy a
balloon as might be supposed First,
the height is elusive. 1t requires n
good many shots to get the range; then
the balloon does not remain station
airy, but is continually ascending and
descending, with the smallest variation
OF temperature. Again, there is the
fire of hostile batteries to meet; and
lastly, single shell will not bring
down a balloon Immediately, unless il
strikes it fairly.
The generals were considering the
problem at headquarters.

Hartman, the famous observation Of
ficer. But Francois was equally puz-
zled.
How could he kidnap man out of O
balloon? To approach near enough to
cut the rope was an absurd idea. Yet
Hartman, in his sausage, was capable
of infinite mischief.
Larry O'Hagan, formerly of Kansas
City, was the Frenchman's chum. The
two took counsel together. Larry was
confident that the feat was less i'm
possible than it seemed.
AS is courteous and customary. q
note was dispatched to the German APP
prlzlng him that he was to be the OBJ
Ject of hostile intentions during the
coming week. On the next night Larry
and Francois few gaily over the sau-
sage, to be saluted with salvo of
shell and maxim fire, which bored q
number of holes in the planes, but did
little damage.
On the second night the balloon,
badly punctured by fire from the aero
planes maxims, sank to earth. But
on the following day Hartman was
aloft in his balloon again, taking OBJ
servations as keenly as ever.
The car of the balloon was armored

stroy 1t was direct hit by concus-
sion shell, and that was the last thing
that was wanted Hartman daod lynS
as much to be deprecated as Hartman
alive in the balloon.
That same night the aviators drove
their machine above the sausage again.
This time they dropped a bomb. 1t
did not fall particularly near it, but
then it is difficult to fling a bomb with
accuracy from a moving airship. Cor
dial greetings were shouted, but they
were unfortunately drowned by the
hum of the motor.
Having thus thrown Hartman off
the scent by pretended attacks, Larry
laid his plans for the fifth night He
took with him a double-length lariat.
One end Of this was fastened to the
stand of a maxim, which had been dis
mounted.
The noise of the approaching BIZ
piane was the occasion for a star shell,
which revealed the giant bird, with
