CHAPTER w

He was reckoned a shrewd player Of
life. Men who knew Peter DeWolfe
best say that If he left his travelling
bag on the sidewalk on Fifth avenue
while he did some shopping within
some store, it was only because he had
estimated carefully the psychology Of
any thief and concluded that one could
depend upon human nature to believe
that luggage sitting alone on the pave
ment was placed there as trap. Peter
always found his bag where he had
left 1t.
This is said because, unless some
complex reasoning and calculation Of
the same kind can be applied to his
conduct, 1t Is necessary to say he went
blind into love of woman.
"a few-a very few-men-and
fewer women" Peter said once In a
letter, "know just how near the top Of
the world can be reached by the ad-
venture Of free days together where
there are no hours, and time springs
in magic jumps from noon to next day
light perhaps, and the world is play
ground and city is your toy and man.
kind is the ultimate friend of both of
you. Unfortunately" he added, 'the
men who have the quality of greatness
to see that such companionship over
a span of hours Is a greater accom-
plishment than life In a law Office
or the presidency Of some blooming
bank, are few. Those who ever find
the girl are fewer. And those who can
prove some essential quality Of gen.
tleman and a whole man needed to
walk that delicious tightrope up above
the moon, without taking vulgar step
into space with nasty crash on land
ing, are fewest Of ALL"
He may have been demonstrating
these words. But apparently he had
abandoned his inquiry Into the mystery
of past and future. He had abandoned
suspicion OF her or curiosity about her
life, though ever and again he found
her glancing around with the unex-
planned fear in her dark eyes, as If she
expected to meet the eyes Of recogni-

But that cannot very well be, because
I'm not farmer or trapper or Izaak
Walton-only New York idler. Be-
sides, Trafalgar square has no soil for
turnips, no brook trout, no pheasants. /"
She had looked up with a wistful
smile. "Who is pleased when you
eat?"
Nobody" he said. "You see I am
an orphan. There Is an old waiter at
the club forgot him. He rubs his
hands when / am hungry, but for all
know 1t is because the palms itch. He
waited ON my father-the banker
and he looks like shaven Mephis-
topheles. That's all I can remember"
"You may come with me, then, to
my chambers" she had said. "We can
stop on the way-goodness knows
where-but somewhere and get eggs
and butter and cheese and milk. Well
go there"

First "Boucaniers"

The name "buccaneer" was given to
piratical English. Dutch and French
adventures, united in their opposition
to Spain, who maintained themselves
chiefly in the Caribbean sea during the
Seventeenth century. The first Of the
class were French settlers, whose oc-
cupation originally was hunting the
wild cattle on the islands, especially
Hispaniola, and preserving the flesh
at little establishments called "bou-
cans" they being known as ''bou-
GAMERS" After being driven from
these pursuits by the Spaniards, these
boucaniers took to piracy, particular
ly upon Spanish. vessels. and to raid

Animal Life on Everest

Animal life, it appears, Is to be
found on high mountains far beyond
plant growth. The highest growing
plant that the Mount Everest expe-
dition of 1924 observed was the blue
vetch, at $4,000 feet, but animals live
at as great height as $4,000 feet.
"A minute and inconspicuous black
spider" says a member of the expedi-
ton, "hops about on rocky cliffs and
hides beneath stones In those bare
places that happen to be swept clear
of snow by the wind. l cannot think
on what it lives at such height. In
these attitudes there is no other liv-
ing thing-nothing but rock and Ice.
This little spider is worthy Of note
as being the highest permanent In
habitant of the earth.

they had perched like two ravens on

supperless, content and watching the

"What time is it?" Peter had asked,

ore bid on the same basis as prevailed

Shipments of ore out of the dis
trict to smelters is now continuous
and receipts of raw ore from mines
at separating plants to be dressed for
shelters are running heavy.
Lead ore, however, is still largely
held by producers who believe the
present situation justifies a better

Many new mines are now being de-
