Ills evasIve eyes were turned IO me searchingly and sharply. He took the glass from my hand and slipped If into his pocket. I made a movement to. pass on, then stopped, with faint daWning of discomfort. For the heavy figure of the captain still blocked the path.
 A dark flush had come into the mans face. His yellow teeth showed be- tween his parted lips. His eyes had swimming brightness.
 'What's your hurry?" he remarked, with certain insinuating emphasiA
 began to tremble.

 With a forward stride he laid a hand upon my arm. I shook him off and stepped back. Fear clutched my throat. I had left my revolver in my quarters. Oh, the dreadful denseneSs of these woods, the certainty that no widest cry of mine could pierce them l
 And then Crusoe, who had been waiting quietly behind me in the path, slipped in between us. Every hair on his neck was brIstlIng. The lifted upper lip snarled unmlstakably. He gave me a swift glance which said. Shall I spring?"
 Quite suddenly the gorilla bIandlsh- ments of Captain Magnus came to an end.
 "Say," he said harshly, "hold back that dog, will you1 I don't want to kill the cur"
 "You had better not" I returned coldly. ''I should have to explain how r. happened. you know. As it Is l shall say nothing. But shall not forget my revolver again when l go to walk"
 And Crusoe and I went swiftly down the path which the captain no longer disputed.

With the midday reunion my hour of distinction arrived. The tale of the ghost-pig was told rom the be- ginning by Cookie. with high tributes to my courage in salIying forth in pur- suit of the phantom. Even those hold ing other views of the genesis of the white dog were amazed at his presence on the island. In spite of Cookies as- pensions, the creature was no mOngrel, but a thoroughbred of points. Not by any means a dog which some little South American coaster might have abandoned here when 1t put Tn for water. The most reasonable hypOth- esiS seemed to be that he had be- IOnged to the copra gatherer, and was for some reason left behind on his masters departure. But who that had loved a dog enough to make It the companion of his solitude would go away and leave 1t? The thing seemed to me incredible. Yet here, otherwise unaccOunted for. was the cOrpOreal presence of the dog.

Not that in the least wanted to be loved, only you feel 1t an impertinence in a person who so paIpably does not love you to en- deavOr to engage the affections of your bull-terrier.
 As to Cookie, he magnanimously consented to overlook Crusoe's dubi- Ous past as a ghOst-pig, and fed him so literally that the terriers lean and graceful form threatened to assume the contours of beer-keg.

VICTOR HUGO IN OLD AGE
In His "Reminiscences Salnt-Saens Tells of Colossal Intellect Affected
 by the Yeara

Saint-Saens, the great composer, in his Musical Memories" has some "reminiscences of Victor Hugo, who was an old man when he knew him, but who seemed rather like an ageless and immortal being whom time could never touch"
 "Time, alas goes on, and that fine intellect which had ever been uncloud- ed began to give signs of alteration. One day he said to an Italian delega- ton. The French are Italians; the Itai' fans are French. French and Italians ought to go to Africa together ana found the United States of Europe.
 "Victor Hugo's credulity was as- tonishing in a man of such colossal genius. Hearing that the remains ot Voltaire and Rousseau had been ex- humed and desecrated, he wrote wonderful account of 1t. When the coffins were opened, the two great men were peacefully sleeping their last sleep.
 "He believed in the most incredible things, as the Man in the Iron Mask, the twin brother of Louis XIV; In the octopus that has no mouth and feeds itself through its arms, and in the reality of the Japanese sirens which the Japanese were said to make out of an ape and a fish. He had some excuse for the sirens, as the Acade- mic des Sciences believed in them for n short time."-ChicagU American.

 Now, a good smoking tobacco has got to seem like a discovery not only at the first pull at the pipe, but on through the years.
 That means that it has got to suit exactly the needs of many pipe smokers who would throw it aside If it didn't.
 Edgeworth seems to keep on being regarded as a discovery by smokers months and years after they begin smoking it.
 ItDui0lt seem like a discovery to you.
 We don't insist that it will: Pipe smokers differ too widely in their ln- dividual tastes.
 But we would like to have you put it to the test.
 Simply write on a postcard your name and address, then that of the dealer filling your smoking needs, and we will send you samples of Edge worth in both forms-Plug Slice and Ready-Rubbed.
 Edgeworth Plug Slice is pressed, then sliced. Rub one thin, moist slice for a moment between the hands. That's an average pipe-load.
 Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed IS just that-ready to pour straight into your pipe. It packs rather well. Now see how freely and evenly it burns.
 Edgeworth is sold in various sizes, suited to the needs and means of all purchasers. Both Edgeworth Plug Slice and Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed come in small poeket-size packages, in attractive tin huInidors and glass jars, and in economical in-between quantities for smokers desiring more than a small package, yet not qulte the humidor size.
 For the free samples, address Larus & Brother O., fl South 21st Street, Richmond, Va.
 To Retail Tobacco MeTehGnts-n your jobber cannot supply you with Edgeworth, Larus & Brother Com pany will gladly send you prepaid by parcel post one or two-dozen carton of any size of Plug Slice or Ready Rubbed for the same price you would pay the iobber.

body else had gone, gazed and ad- mired. But the only constant pilgrim, besides myself, was, of all people, Captain Magnus. The captains unex- pected ardor for scenery carried him thither whenever he had half an hour to spare from the work in the cave. Needless to say, CrusOe and 1 timed our visits so as not to conflict with his.
 One day, as Crusoe and came down from the ridge, we met Captain Mag nus ascending. I had in my hand a small metaI-backed mirror, which had found, surprisingly, lying in a messy cleft between the rocks. It was a thing such as man might car " in his pocket, though on the island it seemed unlikely that anyone would do so. I at once attributed the mir TOT to Captain Magnus, for I knew that no one else had been on the ridge for days. I was wondering as 1 walked along whether by some sublime law of compensation the captain really thought himself beautiful, and sought this retired spot to admire not the view but his own physiognomy.
 When the captain saw me he stopped full in the path. There was a growth of fern on either side. approached slowly, and, as he did not move paused, and held out the mirror.
