he bestowed upon Niger a further
burden of six dozen steel traps.
And in the cool of a midsummer
morning, before Hazelton had rubbed
the sleep out Of its collective eyes and
taken up the days work Of discussing
it's future greatness, Roaring Bill and
his wife draped the mosquito nets over
their heads and turned their faces

They bore out upon a wagon road.
For brief distance only did this en-

river itself was soon lost in the far
stretches of forest. Once more they
rode alone in the wilderness. For the

engulf thousands such as they and still
remain a land untamed.

beaches, where anyone may get swim
for a quarter, and exclusive beaches
where $4,000 a year is regarded as
poverty. It has sport beaches full

where old ladies knit on shady porches.
It has millionaire suburbs from which
the many are ingeniously excluded;
and middle-class suburbs with their
neat little cottages, looking like ad-
vertisements out of paint catalogs
stuck primly in the middle OF correct
little lawns; and suburbs for those
who have just enough money to get
out of town in the summer. Most OF
these latter are situated in the lagoon
district between Rockaway beach and
the island proper. They stand on st'lts

wide green salt meadows. They are

color in this bit of Long Island than
in all the rest Of it put together.

feet high. This he hewed square, the
four fiat sides of the post facing re-

Bill set to work with his pocketknife.
Hazel sat down and watched while he

braced in an area a half mile square,
Of which the post was the southeast
