That's all very WELL" I laughed.
"But how are we going to get the

such bloodthirsty ways with him."
They always have, sar," said Tom,

well. Tom," I remarked. you may
b right. but of one thing I'm certain;

We've both got one good chance
against them" Tom was beginning.
Don't tell me again about that old
sucking nsh."
Mind you keep 1t safe. for all that"
said Tom gravely. II wouldn't lose
mine for a thousand pounds"
We'll. all right. but let's forget the
damned old ghosts for the present"
We decided to try a plan that was
really no plan at all that is to say. to
seek more or less at random. till we
consumed all our stores except just
enough to take us home. Meanwhile
we would. each Of US, every day, cut a
sort Of radiating swathe, working sin
gle-handed. from the cove entrance.
Thus We would prospect as much Of
the country as possible In sort of
fan, both Of US keeping our eyes open
for a compass carved on a rock In
this way We might hope to cover no In
considerable stretch Of the country In
the three weeks. and, moreover. the
country most likely to give some re-
suits, as being that lying In a semicir-
Gle from the little harbor where the
ships would have lain. II wasn't much
Of q plan perhaps. but 1t seemed the
most possible among the impossiblsa
Harder work than we had undAgs
p taken no men have ever set their hands
to. 1t would have broken the back Of
the most able-bodied NAVY: and when
we reached the boat at sunset we had
scarce strength left to eat our supper
and roll into our hunks. A machete
is heavy weapon that needs no little
skill in handling with economy Of
force. and Tom, who had been brought
up to 1t. was. In spite of his years, a
better practitioner than I.
have already hinted at the kind Of
DEVILS underbrush we had to cut our
way through. but no words can do JUS
tice to the almost Intelligent stubborn
ness with which those weird growths
opposed us. II really seemed as though
they were inspired by a diabolic will
force pitting itself against our will,
vegetable incarnation of evil strength
and fury and cunning.
Day after day Tom and / returned
home dead beat. with hardly tired
word to exchange with each other.
We had now been at It for about
fortnight. and / loved the old chap
more every day for the grit and cour-
age with which he supported our ter
rible labors and kept up his spirits.
Once or twice We had made fancied
discoveries which we called of the
other to see, and once or twice we had
tried some blasting on rocks that
seemed to suggest mysterious tunnel

BUTCHER

Caught in Act of Selling Meat
Without Inspectors Stamp
on Same

After several months of watchful
waiting, the Board of Health caught
Joseph Gyumoles. a butcher of 73
French street New Brunswick in the
act of delivering meat produced in this
city which did not have thereon the
stamp of any authorized inspector.
The inspectors of the health board
have been trying to secure the goods
on this man for the last few months
but have not been able to get any def
mite evidence against him. They have
been informed from time to time that
he was killing shoats in New Bruns-
wick. making them up into sausage
meat and other staple products, then
making a flying u to this city, only
remaining here long enough to un-
load his supply, and then quickly
getting out of the city limits and oSt
Of h jurisdiction - of
Health.
Last night. just as the health board
meeting was about to commence.
Thomas Wilhelm, health inspector,
received a telephone message to the
effect that Gyumoles was delivering
goods at H~oroschak's Grocery on
Smith street. Accordingly he and DR..
Thomson secured q policeman and
went to the store Immediately. The
men waited on the CORNER watching
operations till the unloading was
nearly completed. and then swooped
down and arrested Gyumcles. Some
or the meat was secured for evidence
and Gyumoles was released on 500
bonds till this morning.
When he was arraigned before Re-
corder Pickersgili it was asserted by
DR.. Thompson. health officer, that
Gyumoies was guilty of q violation of
the city health ordinance which reads:
1T shal be unlawful t sell, offer for
sale or hold for he purpose of sale,
the flesh OF any cattle, sheep or swine
which does not bear the stamp of
Federal or State inspection or the
stamp of inspection of the Board of
Health of Perth Amboy or of a mu-
nicipality maintaining the same STAN
dard OF purity and quality, as the
city OF Perth Amboy." The maximum
fine OF $50 was asked for by the health
authorities and Gyumoles was fined
that amount.
