good will to 1t. But if you will take the suggestion of a man of rather
 broader experience than your own, you will wait until the occasion arises. It Is bad generaIship, really, to waste your ammunition like this"
 "I dare say 1 am not a master of strategy" I cried, furious at myself for my moment of weakness and at him for the softening tone which had crept into his voice. "I am merely honest. And when see Aunt Jane hypnotized-by this Violet person."
 And indeed I have seen no reason to think that Miss HiggIesby-Browne Is not a most excellent lady," inter. rupted MT. Shaw stif1y. "And let me say this, Miss Harding: here we are all together, whether we wish to be or no, and for six weeks or more on the island we shall see no faces but our own. Are we to be divided from the beginning by Quarrels? Are may be even the men of us to be set by the ears through the pickering of women"
 Like the flick of whip came the certainty that he was thinking of the Honorable Cuthbert, and that l was the rock on which their David-and- Jonathan friendship might split. 9th erwise l suppose Miss Higglesby- Browne and I might have clawed each other forever without interference from him.
 Really" l said with hope-well- simulated scorn. 'since am quite alone against half a dozen of you, should think you could count on put ting down any rebellion on my part very easily. I repeat, had no other object in coming along-thOugh was really kidnapped along-than to look after my aunt As to the treasure, of course know perfectly we'll that there isn't any"
 And l turned my back and looked steadily out to sea. After a moment or two l heard him turn on his heel and go away. It was none too soon. for I had already begun to feel unos- tentatiOusly for my handkerchief. Any way, had had the last word
 The rest of my day was lonely. for the beautiful youth, probably by ma levOlent design, was kept busy between decks. Mir. Tubbs danced attendance on Aunt Jane and Miss Brown, so as- siduously that I already began to see some of my worst fears realized. There was nothing for me to do but to retire to my berth and peruse tattered copy of HuckIeberry Finn which found in the cabin.

Synopsis.-Jane Harding, respect able and conservative old spinste- but never too old to think of marriage-with more money than brains. is inveigled by a strong minded spinster. Miss Higglesby- Browne into financing an expedition to hunt for buried treasure on Lee ward island. Her niece, Virginia Harding undertaking to stop her. gets on the vessel engaged for the hunt, and in the confusion Is un- willingly carried along. By no means concealing her distaste for the expedition and her contempt for its members. Virginia makes the acquaintance of the Honorable Cuthbert Vane, and is somewhat impressed by his explanation of the presence of himself and Shaw.

CHAPTER III.-contInued.

Mir. Shaw looked at me steadily. His eyes were the kind that seem to see all and reveal nothing. I felt a hot snark of defiance rising in my own.
 And indeed It is too bad" he said cOolly "that the trip should not be more to Miss Harding's liking" The rough edges of his Scotch burr had been smoOthed down by much wander ing, but you knew at once on which side of the SoIway he had seen the light.
 Tt is not. question of my liking" I retorted, trying to preserve an un- moved and lofty demeanor. -hough my heart was beating rather quickly at finding myself actually crossing swords with the redoubtable adventur- CT, this man who had often faced death, 1 could not refuse to believe, as steadily as he was facing me now.
 Tt is not at all question of my liking or not liking the trip, but of the trip itself being-quite the widest thing ever heard out of a story-book."
 'Ah-yet the world would be poorer if certain wild trips had not been talk en. seem to remember one Chris tOpher Columbus for instance"
 By vivid lightning flash of wrath felt that this adventurer was laugh ing at me under his sober exterior even stirring me up as one does an angry kitten.
 'Yes," 1 flared out, Tout Columbus did not inveigle a confding old lady to go along with him !" Of course Aunt Jane Is not. properly speaking, an old lady. but 1t vas much more effective to pose her as one for the moment.
 1t was certainly effective, to judge by the sudden firm setting of his mouth.
 Lad" he said quietly, Tend a hand below. will you? They are overhaul Ing some of our stuff tween decks"
 He waited until tle Honorable Cuth- bert, looking rather dazed, had retired. We stood facing each other, my breath coming rather hurriedly.
 Miss Harding" he said slowly, "thst was bitter word you said"
 My head went up.
 Bitter, perhaps" flung back. but is it not true? It Is for you to an-. swer."
 -'NO, it Is not for me to answer, be- cause it Is not for you to ask. But since you talk of inveigling, let me give you the history of my connection with the expedition. You will under stand then that I had nothing to do with organizing it, but was merely en- gagged to do my best to carry 1t through to success"
 T have already heard a version of the matter from Mir Vane."
 And you think he Is in the con- splracy, too?"
 Certainly not" I replied hastily. q mean-of course, know he told me exactly what he believes himself"
 '"Then I suppose you consider that he was inveigled, tool"
 'I am not required to consider Mir. Vane's status at all," I replied with dignity. Tt is my aunt whom I wish to protect" And suddenly to my dis may my voice grew husky. I had to turn my head aside and blink hard at the sea,
 He stood looking down at me-he was big man, though of lesser height than the superb Cuthbert-in a way couldn't quite understand. And what I don't understand always makes me uncomfortable.
 "Very we'll" he said after a pause. "AIaybe your opportunity will come. It would be a pity indeed If Miss Harding were to require no protect ing and a young lady here with such

War Sabotage Practices
Discovered on Castings

Leesburg, Fla.-What is be-
lieved to be an example Of sabot-
age practiced by the enemies Of
this country during the World
war has come to light here. A
concern in the North manufac-
turing bolts and castings for the
government had large quantity
of material left at the time of
the armistice, and a corporation
constructing a factory here pur-
chased several thousands of the
bolts. They appeared to be per-
feet until mechanics attempted
to use them. Then it was discov-
cred that many had been sawed
almost to the center from both
sides at the thread end, leaving
a bare eighth of an inch of meAl
intact. The nuts on the damaged
bolts had been screwed down to
"a point where they concealed the
cuts.
Had the bolts been sent abroad
they would have been useless for
the purpose for which they were
designed.

Giant Logger Consumes
IS Puffs in Two Hours

Hoquiam, Wash.-Orin Welsh.
a giant logger, came to town this
week from the woods and ate,
at one sitting, during the course
of two hours, 48 normal sized
cream puffs.
Welsh had been in the logging
camp all winter, but his longing
for some sweets enticed him to
town. Friends hearing his cray
ing wagered he could not eat
three dozen cream puffs and the
race started. Welsh demon
strated his wonderful gastronom-
ical ability by eating one doz-
en- rapidly, the next dozen in 80
minutes, and in two hours be-
tween cups of tea, the fourth
dozen disappeared down his
capacious throat.

of his Fourth Thule Expedition, to
the polar shores.
Rasmussen was born in Greenland
and spent his boyhood there. ac-
quiring such knowledge of the coun-
try, of the Esllimos and their Ian
guage as no other explorer. per-
haps, ever possessed This enables
him to picture these people. and to
interpret their mental processes in
telligently and adequately. With
such equipment, with such adyan-
tage over other Arctic explorers
and writers, it is no wonder that
in his new book Rasmussen opens
new vistas in that most fascinat-
ing of all studies-the study OF
men whose ideas are but imper-
fectly comprehended in realms of
civilization. His first chapter, in
fact, is devoted to the life and his
tory OF the Eskimos-their daily life,
their work and recreations, what
they think of the outside world and
of occasional visitors who come to
them from that outside world to
make further explorations. To give
an idea of their myths it may suf-
flee to quote one which relates TO
''the time long, long ago. when man
was created" Here it is, translated
from the dictation of an old Eskimo
woman named Arnaraluk:
"Our ancestors often spoke about
the creation of earth and man in
the time of long. long ago. They
did not understand how to hide
words in written signs like you do ;
they could only speak. the men that
lived before us. They spoke about
many things. and therefore we are
not ignorant in these matters which
we have heard mentioned time after
time ever since we were little ones
"At that time. long. long ago, when
earth was to be. it fell down from
above; soil. mountains and stones
fell from the sky. Thus earth was.
after earth was created came
men. 1t is told that men came from
the soil. Little children came out of

What Are the Great Dog Stories and Why?

as D'Artagnan or Hereward or
Robin Hood. Yes, and Buck was a
very real dog. Jack London knew
dogs, and he knew how to depict
their souls. That was why his book
lives and will live.
And there, as I have limited, lies
the secret Of greatness in a dog
story. A thousand writer's know
enough about human nature to pass
muster in the task Of making their
biped characters seem real. But the
merest handful of them understand
dog nature from the inside outward.
And the lack is fatal. That lack is
vaguely perhaps unconsciously
realized by readers: even by such
readers as are not dog fanciers. And,
as ever. the reader refuses to thrill
The New York herald., 1922-02-26

have always looked on that incident
as little short of blasphemous.
Again, the Bar Sinister" hero, in
maturity, chances to meet again the
gutter mother he had not seen since
puppyhood. He recognizes her at a
glance. and treats her as a human
millionaire might be expected to
treat the long lost mother whose
memory he has cherished. Every
dog man knows that filial relations
among dogs are forgotten long be-
fore the end of the first year; often
in less than three months after
birth. Yet as a fairy tale. "The Bar
Sinister" is supreme. And as a feat
of story telling it deserves Its high
pedestal.
Then, there is Eno's brief narrative
Of his collie Scott" The little book
The New York herald., 1922-02-26

story in 1t. There is not tale in
the book which does not prove the
authors full understanding of dogs.
And on that understanding the
works success and real greatness
rest. The best yarn in it Is as fam
ciful as Davis's; yet full Of dog
character. 1t is called "Maginnis."
1t tells of street pup that dies and
goes to the dog heavens court of
justice, where his case is tried be-
fore Barry and Gelert, and Bob, Son
of Battle, and all the other canine
heroes of fiction and real life. Be-
cause he loved a little child, his sins
of theft are forgiven him and he is
admitted to the bright meadows of
Paradise. Throughout runs low
ing knowledge of dog nature. And
this knowledge, even more than the
idyllic beauty of the tale itself. makes
it great.
By the way, Dyer has asked
question of vivisectors which the
latter, up to date, have neglected to
answer. 1t runs: eff you were SUBJ
ject to bad headaches and if, by kill
ing a dog you loved, You could rid
yourself forever of those headaches.
would you kill him?' Speaking of
vivisection-one of the greatest of
Mark Twain's short stories has for
heroine a collie which saves her sci
enlist masters child from death, and
whose master kills the collie's only
puppy for purposes Of animal eX-
perimentation." This story has been
the theme of fierce argument; and
it owes its fame less to any special
insight into dog nature than because
it assails an abuse which the public
at large detests.
I have not tried to tabulate here
all the few good dog stories, but have
cited samples whose formula apply
to the rest. have not even touched
on Walter A. Dyer's story of
the Belgian work dog, whose biog
raphy contains not a single fiawed
line. Nor have 1 discussed Ouida's
classic Dog of Flanders" or Beau
tiful Jim" and the one or two other
works Of the kind which may have
deserved or achieved greatness.
Never before has there been such
broad field-such an eagerly recep-
tive audience-for the right sort of
dog story. But there is-and always
has been and always will be-a Woe
full paucity of writer's who will spend
twenty years in close study of dogs
before trying to write about them.
And twenty years is a minimum
period for that study. Personally, I
have been at it for something over
forty years. And I have more 10
learn of the subject than ever 1 shall
have the wit or the time to grasp.
