spear in the blaze of the campfire, for all fishermen know 1t is never advis able to strike with a spear that gilt ters. He knew every man of them around the fire. But a toss of his hand, toss of five hands in response, was all that passed between them men that would have carried com rade for miles at need; that would share the last bite with him; that would knife him just as readily at fancied grievance. Such were the river men; law unto themselves-a simple code, warped fantastically- with knife and pistol for judge and jury; leftover product of other days when clansmen followed their chief and asked no questions; bi-product of the border who found it hard to disarm when civilization came in.
 The Boss slipped an oar into the water and laid the boat more toward the south shore, over the deepest part of the bar. Hardly had he done so when the Pearlhunter lowered the point of his spear. The outline of an immense black bass took shape under the glare of the jack light, half hidden among the sWaying verdure, as II ly Ing in wait for his prey, which in all likelihood he was, a scaly tiger Of the stream in ambush. The spear slid into the water and stole toward him. All unalarfhed he lay his fins idly flaming the fern-like moss in which he lurked, little suspecting the five-pronged death creeping upon him. The points were within three feet of the glossing scales when the Pearlhunter struck. There followed a moment of fierce furry among the waving ferns; a little shower of spray broke the surface or the water, and all was over. A fish does not struggle long when the spear goes home.
 "SiX-pounder, if he's an ounce" chuckled the Boss when the fish lay Tn the bottom of the boat. The Pearl hunter rested his spear upon the gun vale and bent above the jack light. The boat drifted on.
 It was perhaps half an hour later when, in the leisurely manner of men returning from season of successful sport, the two fishermen, with the pick of all they had floated over in the

bottom of the boat, rowed up the stream The glare of the campfire was beginning to slither upon the drip ping oar blades and the ripples they raised when the Boss laid the boat nearer the south shore with the re- mark:
 Here's where we're expectin' t here. Jist look at tn tracks. Make right smart track, don't they, fer a beast without no feet?"
 The Fearlhunter made no answer. Crouched down by the jack light well toward the bow. of the boat, he had been for some time watching the un- usually thick tangle of winding marks upon the slimy bottom, plowed there by the rAussels or clans while feed ing, dozens and hundreds of the creep ing bivalves, half buried in the ooze, at that very moment dotting the river bed.
 The Boss was in the very act Of turning the boat across the river to the carlp when he was startled by an excited exclamation from his compan- ion. wlso had suddenly leant low ana dangerously far out ever the water. He was up on the instant and had flashed the jack ligh' around the boat. In h!s dripping hanL there was an im- mense river muSsel
 The old Boss had no sooner caught the bluish-purple glitter shedding rom the hinge knobs of the giant bivaive than he uttered shout that walked the echoes up and down the river shore, and brought the five men at the camp running down to the waters edge.
 "A Blue Moon p he yelled. By the gods a Blue Moon!'
 He snatched it from the hand of his companion and held it under the full glare of the jack light. Next moment he had handed it back and was driy- inp the boat to shore, where the first glance at the peculiar markings Of the mussel instantly threw the whole camn into the widest excitement.
 They spread down by the light of the fire the whitest cloth the camp af- forded, and the Boss cut the mussel open. One pearl, large, lustrous, dropped out upon the cloth and lay twinkling up into their faces like fallen star. It passed from hand to hand, the pearl fishers struggling with each other for the privilege of holding 1t.

TWO KINDS OF ADVENTURE
New Yorker Who Offered to Sell His Life's Services Already Has
 Had Takers.

Jack Hardy, a former sailor, living in New York, who advertised that he was ready to sell his services for the rest of his life to the highest bidder who had a career of useful adventure to offer, has received two bids.
 A woman offered him $5,000 to be her bodyguard on a trip to Egypt providing the trip was successful" Jack doesn't think he'll take this, not being certain what the woman regards as a successful trip to Egypt The other offer was from man and his wife who described themselves as the weathiest couple in Scranton, Pa, wanted Jack to help hunt for their if teen-year-old son with 5000 and adoption as the reward.
 That is more promising, the young man thinks, but he has reached no de- cision yet. He is twenty-two years old. "I'm not looking for a soft berth" he said. "The harder the jeb, the bet ter like it."

AT LEAST IT'S NOT PROBABLE
Judge Was Likely Dead Right When He Told the Elderly Lady About
 His Gown.

The judges of the Marion county courts recently adopted and published rules relating to formal openings of court sessions, requiring all persons in the courtroom at the time to stand. This and the other requirements are designed to insure dignity and deco rum
 An elderly woman employed at the courthouse accosted one of the judges in the corridors of the building and | complimented the bench on it's atti- tude in conducting court,
 Tn fact, judge" she added, ''I think | all of you judges ought to do like some of the big Eastern courts and wear gowns" Without batting an eye the judge replied "I do wear a gown about one third of the time"
 Why, I never saw you in one." the woman said.

synopsis.-Never having known his father, and living with his . Ifother on a houseboat on the Wa bash river, Pearlhunter-the only name he has-learns from her part of the story of her sad life. The recital Is interrupted by a fear full fit of coughing and he hurries ashore to seek a root that affords relief. He meets a girl whom he mentally christens the Wild Rose She eludes him before he can make her acquaintance. A vacant cabin on the shore has attracted the at tention of the ailing woman, and they move into it. Their first meal Is interrupted by stranger who resents their presence.

DRAW LINE ON
LIQUOR PERMITS
More Stringent Regulations Pro-
mulgated Governing the
Shipments.

Continued violations of the Prohibition
Enforcement act have aroused the depart
ment at Washington, which during the
past week amended the regulations govern
ing the directors in the various districts
sc as to make it more difficult to transport
liquor for other than medicinal purposes
Thousands of gallons have been taken out
of bond on permits and removed in aut ,
trucks, presumably to dealers in other
States, hut actually disposed of to boot
leggers and others who coined money out
of the business.
To put a stop to this, Commissioner
Williams has directed that the vendor
shall not be permitted to ship liquor
unless the buyer is personally known to
him or is identified by some respectable
persons known to him. If delivered to an
employee, he must first be vouched for on
the form retained by the seller and which
is to be returned to the director. There
must appear the name of the party to
whom the liquor was delivered and if
identification is necessary. the name of
the person identifying must also appear.
AGAINST TRUCK DRIVERS.
To guard against irresponsible truck
drivers, the following order rs to trans
portaton is issued:
NO permit W tihilspoit thioAthinf
liquor will hereafter be issued TO any
person other than railroad, or steam
ship company, or express company
operating thereon, unless such person at
the time of making the application for
permit files a bond executed IN duplicate
in penal sum computed at the rate of
81 900 for each vehicle to be used by him
in the transportation of liquor and estab-
fishes to the satisfaction of the director
that he Is reputable carrier and is
actively and regularly engaged in the
legitimate business of transportation and
that he possesses adequate facilities TO
insure safe delivery at destination OF any
liquor which may be transported by him.
The maximum penal sum of any bond
fled as above will be $1,000.
ANY permit heretofore issued by the
director to any person other than q

railroad, express or steamship com
pany, IA above described, authorizing
the transportation Of Intoxicating liquor
shall be imperative and invalid on and
after 30 days from the date Of approval
hereof, unless prior to such time the
holder Of such permit files with the drec-
tor a bond, in duplicate, in the penal
sum computed as above and otherwise
complies with the above requirements.
In order for any person holding per-
init authorizing the procurement or
delivery Of intoxicating liquor to be
authorized to transport such liquor with
out the necessity Of obtaining permit
to transport, within the contemplation
Of Section 50 of Regulations go, it is
necessary that the transportation Of
such liquor bd done by him personally
or by some person regularly and exolu-
sively in his employ and that the right To
the possession Of the vehicle used for such
transportation bc vested in such person.
Wherever intoxicating liquors are trans
ported other than by railway there shall
bc posted In or on the vehicle Of trnns-
portation or he In the possession Of the
person in charge of same, copy of the
permit, verified under oath, under which
such transportation is authorized. The
absence of such permit shall be prima ( roe
evidence that the liquor is being illegally
transported and justification for the de-
tention OF such vehicle and liquor.
Such verified copy of the permit is for the
protection of driver, vehicle and intoxi-
eating liquor transported thereby and
must be carefully safeguarded and sur
rendered by the driver to his employer
when no longer required in the perform
ance of his duties, and in case the permit
tee discontinues the business covered
by the permit, all copies of permits,
including those certified for the use of
drivers or posting in the vehicles will be
surrendered to the federal prohibition
director of the state in which the permit
is held.
Notice is also taken of holdups while
the liquor is being transported in the
following order
AS TO HoLDUps.
Whenever any liquor in the custody
or possession of any person by virtue
of permit held by him under the nationa
prohibition act is diverted or stoler
or for any other reason il not properly
accounted for, or in the case Of carrier
Is not delivered at its proper destination
such fact shall be considered sufficient
in the discretion Of the federal prohibition
commissioner, 10 warrant the revocation

ing the possession of liquor and the ,nsti
tuition of such other proceedings as th'
facts appear tn justify.

SYSTEM IN REGULAR SAVING
Money Should Be Made Easy to De-
post and Then Comparatively
Hard to Withdraw.

1.-The only way for man regularly
to save money, unless he be one OF
those individuals possessed of an ex-
traordinarily unrelenting character,
according to Samuel Crowther, writing
in System, the Magazine of Business,
as for the money to be passed into the
savings account before it reaches him
that is, to put him in the position,
once he has made his resolution, of
having to make another resolution to
quit saving in order to stop the process.
Finally, take the convenience of
withdrawal. A man will rightly hest
tate about going into any system of
saving which locks up his funds for
any long period of time. The average
worker has no great margin between
income and outgo and he has to be pre-
pared for a rainy day-for birth, for
a death, for a long Illness. He cannot
afford to put a measurable part of his
funds out of reach If his money is to
20 from him for long time he very
naturally will not deed away anything
like so much as he would If the money
were always available. On the other
hand any system Of saving in which
Withdrawals may be easily and secret
Iy made is faulty. The funds should
be available upon short notice, there
should be a penalty for withdrawal.
which penalty should be large enough
to stop Withdrawals for frivolous pur-
poses and yet not so large as to- work
anything which savors of injustice on
man who honestly needs the money"

Candles on Toast!

An adult Eskimo is capable of con-
Stunning twenty pounds of flesh and oil
daily. A Yakut will wash down this
quantity of flesh with a quart or two
of train-oil, and take as dessert a
dozen tallow candles.
A famous naturalist, who cooked
part of boaconstrictor, declared that
it tasted very much like veal. On an
other occasion he tested crocodile and
pronounced the flesh excellent.
Frobisher and Settle both comment
ed on the way the inhabitants around
Hudson's Bay used to eat grass.
"Such grass" says Settle, "as the
country produceth, they pluck up and
eat, not daintily or salad-wise, but like
brute beasts"
Humboldt tells of men living on the
banks of the OrinOco who eat earth.
They knead the earth into balls of
from four TO six inches in diameter,
and bake them before slow fire.

crouched under the bushes knew the
girl was alone with her thoughts.
The man at the window watched
the shadow. 1t seemed TO rouse him
to recall fancies that the song had
caused to wander far. He glanced
about; pulled himself together: made
half petulant step toward the door.
The man In the underbrush stiff
fened; slowly rose, noiseless az

door seemed to hesitate; stopped. The
other sank down again in the bushes.

It was a strained moment; a three
handed game in the dark; an intense
three-angIed drama of life-mayhap
of more than life, If the honor of
woman is more than that.
The man hesitating before the door
had the next play. What held his
hand? The song? Perhaps his plans
were not yet ripened TO the full. He
made another step toward the door;
stopped; jerked his shoulders up saw
agely; glared about; brought his eyes
back to the rocking shadow; swore
softly; turned and stalked silently
away down the path toward Fallen

not go directly to where his misgivings
urged him. The sheriff he did not fear.
To the sheriff he was still the notori-
Gus Red Mask. To the mob that was
sure to gather he would be the Red
Mask His escape, with lock and bolt
untouched, would mystify both mob
and sheriff. They would ascribe 1t to
the dread powers with which popular
fancy had invested his name
But in the rabble that would curse
and cIamor about the old jail there
would be one pair Of eyes that the
loosened bar would not escape; a pair
of eyes that would find 1t as sure as
the morning came, and read the riddle
at a glance. And they would be eyes
capable of finding a trail-and follow
ing 1t. Much as ii went against him,
therefore, he turned his steps east in
stead Of west and plunged in among
the dumped underbrush that grew
along the top of the cliff.
Crossing the river road was the
problem. Choosing place where the
grass came close TO the track on each
side, a short distance above where the
path leaves it at the turn, he leaped
across, and using considerable care to
hide mis- trail, picked his way down
along the inside of the brush-tangled
fence row.
That PATH 1t led out of an old
world into a new. Peering through the
bushes he spared a hurried glance to-
ward the low place in the fence where
the path crossed. The stars peOpled
the place with memories. girl with
a basket; round, frank eyes the sun
bonnet caught by an overhadgfzS
limb; the curl that wouldn't behave
they all came to life out of the
shadows. So many things had hap
pened since he walked that path with
her that it seemed long, long ago; and
it was only yesterday.
The picture dissolved. A breath be-
tween steps it had held him, and he
was off on the long, lanky jog. The
memory had brought half longing to
