she does especially for the guardian

Their, who, by the way, is almost at the
end Of his tale. So, when this old chest
flashed its bewildering dazzle upon us,
we, being poor folk, were not more
dazzled than afraid. For-like the
poor man in the fable-such good for
tune was all too likely to be our I'M
doing, should it come to the ears of
the great, or the INDECENT criminal.
The great in our thought was, I am
ashamed to say, the sacred British

day, perhaps, you will put in a word

He paused-for Calypso had invol-

little tax upon us for his security.

"John Sweeney" I asked, looking
over at Calypso with eyes that dared
at last to smile.

as might have surprised some Of those
who had only heard him talk-his con-
versational fantasies on the theme to
come later.
Calypso, however, had the first
word.
II always told you, dad" she said
and the word dad" on the lips of that
statuesque girl-who always seemed
ready to take that inspired frame
work Of rags and bones and talking
music into her protecting arms
seemed quite the quaintest Of para
doxes-'I always told you, dad, what
would heppen, with your fairy tales Of
the doubloons."
"Quite true, my DEAR" he answered,
"but isn't fairy tale worth paying
for?-worth a little trouble? And re-
member, if you will allow me, two
things about fairy tales: there must
always be some evil fairy in them,
some dragon or such like; and there
| is always-a happy ending. Now the
dragon enters at last-in the form of
Tobias; and we should be happy on
that very account. 1t shows that the
race of dragons is not, as I feared, ex-
tinct. And as for the happy ending,
we will arrange it, after lunch-for
which, by the way, you are somewhat
late"
After lunch the 'king' resumed, but
in brief and entirely practical vein:
"We are about to be besieged," he
said. ''The woods. probably, are al
ready thick with spies. For the mo-
ment we must suspend operations on
our Golconda"-his name for the ru-
ms that we were to excavate-"and,
as our present purpose-yours no
less than ours, friend Ulysses-is
to confuse Tobias, my suggestion is
this: that you walk with me a mile
or two to the nor'ard. There is an
entertaining mangrovc swamp I should
like to show you, and also you can
give me your opinion of an idea Of
mine that you will understand all the
better when have taken you over the
ground"
So we walked beyond the pines,
down onto a long, interminable flat
land of mari marshes and mangrove
trees-so like that in which Charlie
Webster had shot the snake and the
wild duck-that only Charlie could
have seen any difference.
"Now," said the 'king." edo you see
q sort Of river there, oyergrown with
mangroves and palmettosS"
"Yes," answered, "almost-
though it's so choked up It's almost
impossible to say
SWELL" said the "king," "that's the
idea; you haven't forgotten those old
ruins we are going to explore. You
remember how choked up they are.
WE'LL this was the covered waterway,
the secret creek, by which the pi-
rates-John Teach. or whoever Il was;
perhaps John T. Tobias himself
used to land their loot. It's SO over
grown nowadays that 60 one can find

or two; do you understand
We walked little farther. and then
at length came to tho bank OF the
creek the skiing" had Indicated. This
we followed for half a mile or so,
till we heard the murmur of tie ser.

Sees Slump in Steel Trade
Iron Age Finds New Orders
Smaller Than Cancellations

Signs Of slackeninG of activity
throughout the iron end steel trade
are reported by The "lron Age Buy
ing Of the emergency order, although
il has amounted to more than many
producers looked for, IS unequal TO the
replacement Of the business cancelled,
this journal states. Predictions as to
the rollings for the first quarter of
the year range from Is per cent to
somewhat less.
an every quarter says this trade
authority, the question of the re-
adjustment OF contracts to the lower
prices adopted two weeks ago by lead
ing sellers is uppermost Pig iron
producers set out to hold to the old
prices, but in the last week the calls
upon them for the revision of CON
racts have grown In numbers and in
urgency. Some furnace companies
seem inclined TO yield, while others
strcnuously insist that contracts be
carried ont as written. The falling
off Of foundry operations is a factor
to which more consideration la being
given, however, and tho adoption Of
the lower basis for pig iron has found
more favor than was indicated week
ago"
Several new inquiries for export are
reported in the trade. one coming from
Brazil for 5000 tons Of ateel rails.
