ernor of Nassau, or his representative quite nearby, at Harbour island. isn't it?n
 My pock-marked friend grew a trifle green as I said this.
 "We have sails still, remember" re- sumed. George and the lost gasoline are not everything. Five hours, with anything of a wind, would bring us to Harbour island, and-with this paper In my hand 1t would be-what do you think yourself? The gallows?"
 My friend grew grave at that, and seemed to be thinking hard inside. making resolutions the full force of which l didn't understand till later, but the immediate result of which WAS a graeiousness of manner which did not entirely deceive me.
 "Oh," he said, q don't think you quite mean that. You're impulsiye- as when you hit that poor boy down there"
 "Well,3' I observed, "Tm willing to treat you better than you deserve. "So, I'll say nothing about this, If you like" (pointing to the manuscript, "and if the wind holds, put you ashore tomor- row at Spanish Wells. I like you in spite of myself Is it bargain?"
 On this we parted, and, as thought. with certain friendllness on both sides.
 There was no sailing wind, so there was nothing to do but stay where we were all day. I spent most of the time in my cabin, reading a novel, and, soon after nine. I fell asleep in q frame of mind unaecountably trustful. I suppose that I had been asleep about three hours when I was dis turbed by tremendous roar. It was Sailor (who always slept near mel out on the cockpit with a man under his paws-his jaws at the mans throat. I called him off, and saw that it was my poek-marked friend, with his right hand extendediin the cockpit and re- volver few inches away from it. So far as I knew it was the only firearm on the ship. Lets get hold of that first, Sailor" I said, and I slipped 1t into my hip pocket.

He Miaht.

In summer time the boy scouts roll down their socks and follow the Scot tisk custom of cool knees. Down at Camp Kinncuma. in Sullivan county, the scout executive, who Is both very tall and very boyish, follows the GUS tom of his boys. It Is picturesque and the grown-up visitors understand 1t, but the other night q tiny girl did not. She stared at the executive most of the time of her visit. Then when the family started home she turned to her her father. "The chief of the scouts Is terribly tall, isn't he?" she asked.
 "Yes," answered mother
 q suppose other men's pants would be too short for him." sine continued. "But don't you believe that if he saved up lot of money, mother, he could find pair long enough for Sundays so his knees wouldn't show ?''-Indian- apolis News.

September, 1S30.' I could not ask for more authoritative corroboration of my view that the Lion Mound is monument to Dutch megalomania with out any reference to Britons or Bel gians whatever. Certainly the Bel gians would never have thought of erecting such memorial to themselves. and as to this country, it is not it's way.
 It is quite clear, then, that inc mere reversal of the lions position affords no adequate solution to the problem of satisfying those French sentiments which M Saintine expressed 90 years ago, and which do not doubt are still entertained. Once the matter is taken into consideration, there can be no dis pute that the position and the. pose of the lion are offensive and provocative to the French people, who. on three historic occasions in less than a cen tury, have contributed of their best and bravest to the saving of Belgian independence.

WORKS OF ART PRESERVED
Art World Interested in Uncovering of Old Paintings In the Mosque of
 Saint Sophia.

An important result that may be looked for whenever Constantinople and the mosque of St. Sophia pass from under the control of the Turks is the verification of belief, not gen. erally known, that the interior walls of the building still hold in practically perfect condition the ornamentatiOn with which the Byzantine artists deco- rated them, says writer in Christian Science Monitor. The statement is made with convincing detail by the Italian architect. Fossati, who was em- ployed by Sultan ul-Mejid to put the mosque in complete repair. To do this work Fossati removed the mat ting that lined the walls and took down the huge disks, covered with Arabic inscriptions, that here and there ornamented them; and behind these coverings he found the work of the an- clent Byzantines. Hagia Saphia. taken by the Turks in 1453, was converted to their own uses by the addition of minarets and by covering the walls, the religion of its new possessors for bidding them to make or destroy any picture or statue of man. Fossati, with the ancient glories of the Christian edi- flee temporarily uncovered, made the notes for his book, and painted colorcd facsimiles of some of the mosaics; then he sealed them from view by replac- ing the coverings.

tive pointed. smaller cay, the cay known in old days as Dead Mems Shoes"--but since known by another name which, for various reasons, I do not deem it polite to divulge-near the end of the long cay down which we were running.
 About twilight we dropped anchor in another quiet bay, so much like that of the night before, as all the bays 1 and cays are along that coast, that you need to have sailed them from boy hood to know one from another.
 The cove we were looking fer, known by the cheery name of Dead Mems Shoes. proved farther oT than we expected, so that we didn't come to it till toward the middle of the next afternoon, an afternoon of the most innocent gold that has ever thrown its soft radiance over an earth inhabited for the most part by ruffians and scoundrels. We soon found that we were not alone in the cave.
 She's changed her paint" said Tom, at my elbow. And, looking round, saw that our rakish schooner with the black hull was now white as dove ; and, in that soft golden water, hardly a foot and half deep, five shadowy young sharks foated, with outstretched fins like huge bats. Our engineer, who was already wading fearlessly in the water, beautifully naked, "shooed' them off like chickens. But it was soon to be evident that more danger ouS foes waited for us on the shore. Yet there was seemingly nothing there but pile of sponges, and a few black men. The Susan B. had changed her color, it was true, but she was q well-known sponger, and I noticed no one that I recognized. There was one foolish fellow that reminded me of my shackly deckhand, whom had always thought out of his mind, standing there on his head on the rocks, and waving his legs to at tract attention.
 "Why! There's Silly Theodore, f" called out the captain. I'm going ashore" I said.
 "Pm going with you too," said the captain. But look after your guns. There's going to be something doing quiet as it looks"
 So we rowed ashore, and there was Theodore capering in front of pile of sponges, but no other face that 1 knew. But there were seven or eight negroes whose looks I took no great liking to.
 Like some fancy sponges to send homeT said one of these, coming up to me. Cost you five times as much In Nassau"
 Certainly I'd like few sponges," I said,
 And then Theodore came up to me, looking as though he had lost his mind over the rather fancy silk tie hap pened to be wearing.
 'Giye me dat!" he said, touching 1t, like crazy man.

Charlie Webster, a local merchant, completes the trio of friends. Conversation turning upon hnrled pirate treasure, Saunders produces a written document pur- nort,ng to be the death-bed state ment of Henry P. Tobias, success fpl pirate, made by him In 1859 It gives two spots where two millions and a half of treasure were buried bv him and his companions. The conversation of the three friends is overheard by a stranger, whose face is deeply pitted by small pox. The document disappears. Saun- ders. however, has q copy of it. The hero determines to go in search of the pirate treasure and charters the Maggie Darling, trim two- masted schooner. The pock- marked man Is taken on board as a pas senger. bound for Spanish Wells.

held it over the man l seemed to grow more and more sorry for.
 "We've not only got a mutiny aboard" I told the captain, "but we've got treason to the British government. Do you want to stand for that? Or shall I put you ashore with the rest?'
 Unruffied as usual, he had nothing to say beyond:
 'Ay, ay, sirl"
 "Take this cord, then." I ordered him and Tom, "and bind the hands and feet of this pock-marked gentle man here; also of George, engineer 1; and also of Theodore, the deckhand. Bind them well. And throw them into the dingy. with bottle of water apiece, and loaf of bread. By noon, we'll have some wind, and can make our way 10 Harbour Island, and there I'll have n little talk with the com mandant."
 And as I ordered, all was done. Tom and rowed the dingy ashore, with our three captives bound like three silly fowls, and presently threw them ashore with precious little ceremony. Then we got back to the Maggie Dar- ling, with imprecations in cur ears, and particularly the promises Of the pock-marked rebel, who :liiiaouncea shc certainty Of our meeting again.

But Hawker and Raynham are no

CRUISER SAILS TO
NORTHERN AIR BASE
The Baltimore Takes Mechan-
les to Naval Seaplanes'
Jumping OFF Place.

The cruiser Baltimore. with mechanics
end sailors from the Rockaway naval
station who have handled NC flying
boats, sailed yesterday for Halifax. 1t
Is understood she will land the crew
from Rockaway at Broyie Harbor, New
foundland. which will be the jumping Off
place for the Transatlantic flight.
A rumor was current yesterday that
thlrty-slx destroyers were to sail early
to-day to take UP stations along the line
of flight from New York to Newfound-
land, from Newfoundland to the Azores
and from the Asores to Portugal. No
confirmation Of this rumor could be OBJ
tanned from naval officers connected with
the fleet. Indeed. one officer Of rank,
age. Intelligence and considerable gold
lace said word had gone out from waeh-
ington for officers TO keep their mouths
shut and refer inquiries on the subject
To washington. And In Washington the
chief OF naval operations and other Of
ncers refused to confirm or deny the re-
port.
1t was stated on good authority yes
terday that three destroyers, the Bar
ney, which found the harbor in New
foundland at which the flying boats will
tiAc roOte anu tne SIamDle, left
port yesterday on a mission connected
with the transatlantic flight. The
Kimberly. it is said. will also leave early
to-day. The battleships Utah, Texas,
Arkansas. Wyoming and Florida are re-
ported to have been selected to take
places along the course from Newfound-
land to the Azores, a distance Of 1850
miles, when the flight is nude.
The wind and the sand which accom-
panied 1t had things all their own way at
Rockaway yesterday. According to Com
mander John H. Towers, who is now at
the stat on to oversee the final stage Of
flight preparations. a flight would have
been made yesterday despite the wind II
sand had not drifted In over the marine
railway down which the NC-3 must glide
into the water. Commander Towers,
Commander II. C. Richardson and Lieu
tenant Commander NJ. A Mitscher i'm
proved their spare time by tax ng up In
a serious way methods for obtaining
publicity for the flight and for affording
facilities to the newspapers for covering
II. The course. however, will not be
announced in order to prevent spectators
at Newfoundland and elsewhere from
gu ming up the proceedings. Com
