CHAPTER xI.
rhe Island oueen,s FreIahs.


 l woke next morning with a great thrill of exhiIaration. Perhaps before the sun went down again should know the secret of the island.
 The two divisions of our party, which were designated by me private Iy the Land and Sea Forces, went their separate ways directly after breakfast, which We ate in. the cool. of earliest morning. could retire to the peruSal of the journal which I had recovered from the wrecked sIoop without fear of Interruption.
 l resumed my reading with the en- try of February 10.
 ''ThiS morning, having grown very tired of fish. of which I get plenty every time I go out In the boat, by dragging line behind, decided to stay ashore and hunt pig. I set out across the base of the point, nearly due South-whereas had been work ing along the coast to the north of the cove. reached the edge of the cliffs and found that on my right hand the mountain dropped In a sheer precipice from hundreds of feet above me straight into the sea. I consid- cred. and made up my mind that by striking back some distance one might by a very rough climb gain the top of the precipice. and so swing around the shoulder of the mountain. l did not feel inclined to attempt it. The cliffs at this point offered no means of descent, and the few yards of sand which the receding tide had left bare at their foot led nowhere. 'I turned to go back, and at that mo- snent heard an Outcry in the bushes and Benjy came tearing out at the heels of fine young pOrker. I threw up my gun to fire, but the evOlutions of Benjy and the pig were such that waS as likely to hit one as the other. The pig. of course, made desperate

 "Of course, I don't yet know exact. ly what the value of the treasure Is. l have counted the bags in the chest i; there are one hundred and forty-eight. Each, so far as I have determined, contains one thousand dOubloons, which makes a total of one hundred and forty-eight thousand. Estimating each coin, for the sake of even figures, at a value of seven dollars-a safe minimum-yOu get one million, thirty six thousand dollars. And as many of the coins are ancient l ought to reap a harvest from collectors.
 Besides the coin, found, rather surprisingly, laid between the upper layers of bags, a silver crucifix about nine inches long. It is of very quaint old workmanship, and badly tarnished. Its money value must be very trif1ing, compared to the same bulk of golden coins. I think 1t must have had some special character of sacredness which led to its preservation here. It is strange to find such relic among a treasure so stained by blood and crime

ALL MEN OF TEMPERAMENT
Great Research Specialists, as a Glass, Far More Erratic Than
 Average LItterateurs.

Literary men are supposed to be like women, varium ct mutablle semper, and this has turned university dons against them. I once had an argument with a very dIgnified but not especially literary college official, writes Freder- ick E. Pierce in the Literary Review. "AhI l" said he, "YOu literary men are so temperamental" Then he went on to sing the praises of certain great fact research stars on his faculty. kept my tongue idle and my brain busy. Alas and alasI As If great fact research specialists were never tenn peramental. AS if they never whItened the hair of their deans or blackened the bile of their colleagues. When Walter Scott entertained at his home the half-insane antiquary, Joseph Ritson, was 1t the urbane poet or the Unbalanced editor of accurate texts who was more temperamental2 In the famous quarrel between Furnivall and SwInburne the noted Shakes peare scholar proved himself slightly more cratic than even the most temperamental poet of the Nineteenth century. Everybody knows that Byron got half drunk to write "Don Juan" How many realize that the great unl- versity professor Person got one hun- dred and five one-hundredths drunk before featuring to that same Byron at Cambridge? Person, with his in- exhaustibIe memory and unquenchable thirst, pouring out hexameters and hiecoughs to his astonished classes was there ever a more temperamental being?

SIMPLE IDEA FOR CALENDAR
Vermont Man Tells of Arrangement
 by Which 1t Is Easy to Find Date Wanted.

The following simple method of finding the day of the week for any date in a month, when. the first day of January is known, has been hand ed down among us for two centuries.
 SuppOsing that the new year be. gins on Wednesday, we place that day opposite the latter A, with the follow ing days opposite the next six letters. and with Tuesday opposite G. The first days of the 12 months are Op- posite the initials of this sentence: "At Dover dwell George Brown, Esq, good Carlos Finch and David Friar."
 For the ordinary year the initial days of the months, as above, are Wednesday, Saturday. Tuesday Thursday, Sunday, Tuesday, Friday Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Monday.
 As the first, eighth, fifteenth, twen. ty-second and the twenty-ninth day in each month are on the same day of the week, it follows that the 1st o1 December and the 29th fall on r and the 31st on A. The first and last day of each year, excepting leap year, fall on the same day of the week. For leap year use the seven letters, be. ginning A with the week day thai stood originally for B on New Years day.-Edward H. Williams IT,, Wes. terdale, Vt, in New York Herald.

Avoid Being Irritant.

Some folks are just plain irEitants. You don't know why 1t is you don't like them. But you surely don't like them. By word and deed they get under your skin and you feel mean at being SC touchy. But 1t can't be helped-they irritate. Do your best to get beyond the irritation stage. You can put uE with a lot when you train yourself to it.

 tiny spring of ice-cold water, which
 has worn a clean rock channel for itself to the sea. Otherwise the cave is perfectly dry. There Is no doubt in my mind that in the great buc- caneering days of the Seventeenth century, and probably much later, the place was the haunt of pirates. One fancies that Captain Sampson of the BOnny Lass may have known of it be- fore he brought the treasure to the island. There were queer folk to be met with in those days in the west ern ocean. Yes, the cave has seen many a fierce, sea-tanned face and tarry pigtail, and echoed to strange Oaths and wild sea-songs. Men had carved those steps in the passage thirty-twO of them. In the sand of the floor. as l kicked 1t up with my feet, hoping rather childlShly to strike the corner of the chest, I found the hilt and part of the blade of a rusty cutlass, and a chased silver shoe buckle. l shall take the buckle home to Helen-and yet now trivial it will seem, with all else that I have to Of- fer her!

 "I left the cave and hurried back to the cabin for spade, walking on air, breaking with snatches of song the terrible stiffness of the woods, where one hears only the high fitful signing of the wind, or the eternal mutter of the sea.
 Back in the cave, set to work feverishly, making the light sand fly. At the end of half an hour, at a point close to the angle of the wall my spade struck a hard surface. It lay, should judge, under about two feet of sand. Soon l had laid bare patch of dark wood which rang under my knuckles almost like iron. A little more, and I had cleared away the sand from the top of a large chest with a convex lid, heavily bound in brass.

the collapse has been due not so much
to foreign countries selling marks, as

fought to obtain foreign currency"

Chicago.-With increasing numbers
of State troops and emergency forces
of United States deputy marshals on
guard wherever outbreaks have been
threatened, the Government announced
that life and property would be pro-
tected, the mails continued and inter-
state commerce not interrupted de.
spite the strike of railway shopmen.
After conference with President
Harding, Attorney General Daugherty
said that the Government would make
certain that law and order were pre-
served through the appointment Of
deputy marshals.
The Attorney Generals announce
ment came shortly after Lieut.. Gov
Fred E. Sterling, acting head of the
State of Illinois, had ordered five com
panies of national guardsmen to
Bloomington to protect the shops of
the Chicago and Alton Railroad. The
ordering of the State troops followed
appeals from the local authorities, who
declared that civil authority had col
!apsed and that the soldiers were
needed to protect life and property.
They were greeted on their arrival at
Bloomington by crowds of strike
sympathizers with jeers and ribald
comment.
AT Clinton, ILL.,, where the Illinois
Central shops have been under guard
of State troops since Saturday night,
when an outbreak was threatened
following a fatal shooting affray, the
day passed in comparative quiet al
though several shots were fired by
sentries at a group of men who were
believed to have been advancing to
attack the shops. The attackers fed,
none of them being injured At
Aurora, H., where an emergency force
of deputy marshals has been on guard
since the Burlington obtained a tenn
porary injunction against violence of
Saturday, several hundred strikers and
strike sympathizers held a silent pa
rade about the shops. All of the Au-
rora police force and many railway
guards watched the demonstration as
orderly.
Aside from a few clashes, the can
collation. of some passenger trains in
shorter runs and the reopening of
shops in various sections of the coun-
try, there were few developments in
the day. Railway executives had ex-
pected some demonstration to furnish
the turning point of the strike because
of the ultimatum of many roads that
all strikers who did not return to work
would forfeit their seniority rights.
Little disorder was reported as the
result Of the efforts of the roads to
reopen their shops. At Hoxie, Ark,
30 non-union workmen sent there were
chased out of town and forced to en-.
train for Poplar Bluff, Mo- The katy"
shops in Parsons, Kan, the scene of
rioting earlier in the strike, reopened

Guardsmen with 15Q non-union men on

New York.-Rain insurance com.
panies that guarantee fair weather for
baseball clubs, resort hotels, hot-dog
vendors, golf players and vacationists,
got an awful wallop throughout the
month of June and an even worse
blow during the prolonged week end
which many stretched over four days
to properly celebrate the Fourth Of
July.
The four big companies engaged
in this business, which has been grow.
ing rapidly in the United States for
the last IS months, paid out more than
$50o,000 to policyholders protected
against bad weather over the Inde-
pendence Day period, brokers esti-
mated. Yet, they all feel that the June
rains were good advertising, stimulat-
ing interest in their field.
On Sunday, July 2, the Government
charts reveal almost every square mile
of land within 200 miles of the Atlantic
coast, from Florida to Maine, was
rained upon. The entire Gulf Coast
country was sprinkled and consider
able parts of East Texas, Arkansas,
Kentucky, Southern Indiana, Ohio and
Middle Pennsylvania received wet
ting.
July 4 was almost as bad. Draw

Orleans to the rock-ribbed coast Of

of that line. Baseball games were
postponed, people who would have Wis
tied resorts abandoned their plans,
open-air amusements were drenched
and umbrella dealers were the only
ones who had kind word for the
Weather Man.
The big hotels on the Boardwalk at
Atlantic City had nearly all taken out
rain insurance for the holiday period.
Concessions along the beach were sim
ilarlv protected. The hotels, as rule,
insured themselves of receiving gross
receipts Of certain amount, and
where these fell below the estimates
the insurance policy covered the diff
ference. The Giants at the Polo
Grounds had $4,000 policy last Tues
day.
There were only three days of June
in New York when the weather was
fair. The rest of the month it was
either raining or threatening.
The precipitation, amounting to 7.86
inches, was the heaviest that has
fallen in June since the Weather Bu-
reau got in the habit of keeping rec
ords here, and that was 81 years ago.
