An Unfinished Game Of Cards.

An Unfinished Game OF Cards.
One evening as I returned to the
ship unusually worn out and disheart-
ened l asked Tom how the stores were
holding out. He answered cheerfully
that they would last another week and
leave us enough to get home.
"Well shall we stick out the other
week or not; Tom? I don't want to
kill you, and I confess I'm nearly all
in myself"
May ms well stick it out, sar, now
we've gone so far. Then Wen have
done al we can, and there's certain
satisfaction In doing that, sar." X
So next morning we went at It
again, and the next, and the next
again, and then on the fourth day,
when our week was drawing to It's
close, something at last happened to
change the grim monotony of our days.
1t was shortly after the lunch hour.
Tom and /, who were now working too
far apart to hear each others halloos,
had fired our revolvers once or twice
to show that all was right with us.
But, for no reason I can give, I sud-
denly got feeling that all was not
right with the old man, SO fred my
revolver and gave him time for a re-
ply. But there was no answer. Again
fired. Still no answer. was on the
point Of firing again when I heard
something Coming: through the brush

toward me over the Jagged rocks.
Evidently there was something wrong.

answer me. And indeed he did answer
as plainly as dog could do, wagging
his tail and whining and turning to go
back with me in the direction whence
he had come.
"Of we so, then. old chap" and as
he ran ahead, followed him as fast
as could.
