DIVE WITH WOUNDED WHALE
Japanese "Ride" Their Quarry If It
Sinks After the Harpoon Has
Done Its Work.

Japanese whalemen are skilled and
daring in their profession, often en-
countering a great many dangers.
Many give up their lives to accomplish
the main thing at issue-the capture
of the whale. The expert of the whal-
ing crew must prove his mettle after
the whale has become exhausted from
being harpooned.
The skilled Japanese jumps on the
whales back, cutting two gashes in
the head. Often the animal makes a
deep dive, but the little Japanese must
hold fast to his quarry and dive also,
trusting to his fates that the air sup
ply in his lungs will last as long as
the whales.
The Japanese is safer from being
drowned than from being crushed by
the Infatuated animals tall. II the
hunter let's go it usually means death.
so he hangs on to the diving quarry
Frequently these whaiemen lose their
lives from drowning, but the members
0 their crew look upon this mlSfor-
tune with something of fatallstic re-.
gard.
When the animal is finally caught
and towed to shore the Japanese make
huge excavations, penetrating inside
the animals BODY as though entering
mine shaft or gallery, and eventu-
ally making their exit covered with
blood. This gruesome sight is looked

Post Office Nerves.

According to the testimony of some
hospital authorities. post office nerves"
are due partly to the frequent changes
from day to night duty, with conse~
quent irregularities of meals and sleep,
partly to the changes of work whereby
the same clerk may be standing all day
for another. with diverse occupations,
each needing special knowledge.
Hence in the opinion Of some. medical
men, mechanical routine is less wear.

"Come up to the ROOM" said Hill

"You come along up to the room, and
I'll show you everything I've got
Will that do?'
AT the last words the amateur de-
tective had frightened.
Il can't come now very well. But
maybe l could run up this evening, if
that's all right for you"
"That'll be just as good. Eight
o'clock? Fine" He held out his hand.

"Not at all. Business is business.
I'll expect you at eight, then" Hill
lard nodded spontaneously and went
on north. A quaint intuition overcama
him, and he glanced back over his
shoulder. Fifty yards away the law
student was also glancing over his
shoulder, and Warning, having less OF
self-possession than the adventurer,
blushed- and jerked his head to the
front billiard chuckled and cOntin-
ued his stroll.
He entered the Hotel Onondaga

q gentleman rose to meet hin--a gem
tleman who in appearance was a very
fair replica of the well-known Get
Rich-Quick Wallingford, except that
he was somewhat more refined and
less obese. His animation was OBJ
vious, but he delayed to remove both
his gray suede gloves before he offered
to shake hands with billiard.
"Well!" said Martin Harmon, eff
fusively. you're looking great Must

expect me, did your"
"No!" billiards expression was
study: he had dealt SO long with Har-
mon at distance that he had almost
forgotten what the broker looked like.
"Why didn't you wire me you were
coming?"
Didn't know it myself until pretty
near ain-time-spur Of the moment.
Well, got any business yet?"
Involuntarily, Hilliard smiled. and
the smile spread wonderfully. until
Harmon caught the contagion of 1t and
beamed more royalty than ever. 1.-THE

"Really? How much?"

Mr.. Harmon's eyes glazed for an in

had grown so many branches, sent
forth so many tentacles of bewilder-

what to say, where to turn. His one
consolation was that the miracle

calm. At least, he didn't have to wear
his forebodings on his cOuntenance.

The bitterness in his voice was
acute; and by paradox, it was caused
mainly by her sweet concern for him,
