ing. They hauled up rosy coral and
beautiful starfish. They also got those
pretty sea shells that are found in
Florida. There are jelly fish in those
waters, and some of them are feet
across. They are so large that a pilot
in an airplane can spot them In the
water from an altitude of 1000 feet.

FLIES PREY ON PESTS.

Parasitic Insects Attack Major
Ones Like Caterpillars.
While many kinds of flies, including
the mosquito, which is member of the
fly family, prey on man or animals or
crops useful to man, 1t is unfair to con-
clude that they are utterly useless, says
c. H. Curran of the American Museum
of Natural History.
This group of insects also preys on
major insect pests. For the most part,
parasitic flies attack caterpillars, beetles
and beetle larvae Their methods are
often most ingenious.

 II thought then. and Coolidge's statement in the Cosmopolitan vim dicates me, that he had not fully de- cided and that he probably would have looked upon such a draft as a call to an unacceptable duty"
 Hilles said that the Sunday prior to the convention, Senator Butler, at that time chairman of the repub- lican national committee. said in reply to a question by a Hoover supporter that he intended to yot. for Coolidge. Asked whether he thought the president would accept, he replied: Il think so."
 Hilles said the delegate then de rlared he would advise the Hoover delegates 10 cast their first ballot for Coolidge. convinced that Hoover could not win while the candidacy of tho president hung fire.
 Hiles has lost the privilege he en- ioyed during both the Harding and Coolidge administrations of having sole responsibility of advising Wash lneton on federal patronage from New York.

jump him before he has chance tc

The other boys nodded silently.
Bob took the middle of the road with
Bill at his side, while Porky and Red
advanced along the ditch. Stealthily
they crept toward the car. standing
silent in the moonlight, with its head
lights casting bright path down the
road. Not a sound broke the stiffness
as they reached the rear tenders of the
automobile.
Now cried Bob. The four boys
leaped forward. their hearts pounding,
resolved to make a valiant fight even
if it we're a vain one. But there was
no one in the car!
'W-h-hew!" breathed Bob, with a
long sigh of relief. They've aban-
doned it."
'Darn!" said Porky, with mock feroc-
ity. And I was all set to take the
biggest ones gun away from him"
Yes, you'd have got part of it. any,

Bob fervently. Well, one of us will

and get some gas so We can get home"
"Oh. we will?" said Perky. And
what will we use for money!"
THE bandits got every nickel We
owned mourned Red.
At that moment there was the roar
of an approaching car, and a moment
later a light roadster drew up behind
them. From it jumped man whom
they recognized as a member of the
Ferriston police force. He and the
driver had hurried out in response to
Bobs telephone call.
The boys explained their predicament
to the officer, and he obligingly took
Bob back to the filling station and
bought him enough gasoline to take the
car back to Ferriston. Then, after OBJ
tanning a description of the bandit trio,
the policemen continued on their way.
while Bob and the other boys climbed
into the car and headed it back toward
Ferriston.

About fifty years ago some villagers in
the little town of Gokstadt In Southern
Norway, near the sea, we're digging in
small mound of earth and discovered
the remains of a long wooden boat
buried deep in the ground, and they
dug further until they had brought to
view the entire vessel, beautiful one,
in a wonderful state of preservation,
and about 80 feet in length. 1t was
taken up, carefully cleaned and repaired
and placed in a museum so that future
generations may see this ancient vessel
of the Norsemen, which is probably over
thousand years old.
The Norsemen were a hardy people
who inhabited the coasts Of Norway,
Iceland and the adjacent islands for
many centuries and long before any one
knew that the American continent
existed. They we're fishermen. great
warriors and great sailors. They sailed
their northern seas In all weathers and
made voyages of discovery long before
Columbus, Drake, Vasco de Cana, Cook
or Magellan we're born. In fact, they
discovered North America perhaps 500
years before Columbus landed on the
| islands of the West Indies. And what

cried. "A shabby one and new one?"
When the attendant replied in the
affirmative, Bob cried. THE new car
was ours. We were just held up. and
so we can call the police?"
The attendant pointed to an instru-
n1ent on the wall. and a moment later
Bob had reported the theft to the
Ferriston police department.
You'd better send some one out, be-
cause they'll probably pull the same
stunt on other motorists" he finished.
Then, hanging up the receiver, he hur-
ried from the little building.

top on a dead run. Then Bob who was
in the lead, uttered an exultant cry

ter Of mile ahead. In the moonlight
the boys could see a car stopped at the
side of the road, and Bob at least was
sure that it was his fathers machine.
They FAN out Of gas just as thought
they would" he cried, increasing his
speed along the road. Bill, who was
running beside him. clutched his arm.
Just what are you going to do If
the bandits are still there?" Bill gasped,
saving his breath for running. Bob did
not answer. In fact, he did not know
what he proposed to do. Din1ly he
realized that the Conquerors were no
match for the armed bandits, but he
could not see his fathers car taken
without making some sort of effort in
its defense.
Behind Bob and Bill, Red and
Perky pounded along, the fat boy puff
ing like freight locomotive on a
grade. Gradually he dropped farther
back, so that when Bob slowed down
and stopped a hundred feet from the
car, it was several seconds before Perky
caught up.
"Listen!" commanded Bob. Our
car is there, but the other one is gone.
Perhaps there's Just one Of the bandits

remarked Red.
"Poofi" said Perky. THAT wasn't
anything. just wish the bandits had
been in the car when we caught up
with it."
Eyes, you do" scoffed Red. You're
so tough that you would have recovered
the car single-handed. guess"
"Oh, might have used both hands
since there were three bandits" said
Porky airily.
They lapsed into silence for a mo-
ment, and then as they approached the
wood where they had been held up a
short time before Bill said, Wouldn't 1t
be funny one if we got held up by the
same gang on the way back?"
you've got queer sense of humor,"
grunted Bob. No sooner were the words
out Of his mouth than he uttered an ex-
clamation. Ahead was the wood at the
bottom of the hill, and with startled
eyes the boys saw car in the ditch at
the very place they had been held up
before. And in the road they could
make out the figure of woman, waving
frantically for them to stop!
