Pfestor and Vincent While the tat ter gentleman had not yet been able to attract the attention of Mr Car mody he was satisfied that he would have an abundance of time in whioh to explain his plans Mr Morton had acquainted his associates with the failure which thus far had at tended his negotiations He yet held out hope but It was faint When coffee had been served Hestor arose and said Gentlemen we are now not far from Cape Cod During the evening T- am going to send a man ashpie with letters You will find stationery in your staterooms I suppose that all of you send word assuring your families and that you are alive and well You can do so but you must not enter intQ any par ticulars about this outing You can Inform those in whom you are con cerned that you are safe that you will return to them after a reasonable length of time or you may make any other statement not connected with business or with your present where abouts Hand me the letters un sealed and I will examine them and have

these of cowse rendered it neces sary to rewrite the rejected letters- In the meantime the yacht had rounded Cape Cod and dropped into tIle quiet waters of the bay Shortly after nine oclock the dinghy was out on her davits and lowered into the water A young man in a business suit such as worn for everyday service by the average citizen acted as mail carrier Pro pelled by the sturdy arms of a sail

dinglTy made anoth- er trip ashore and returned without the mail messenger He was landed nears Boston and on the following morning made a rapid journey to Springfield Mass and Albany thence to New York city and Brook lyn reaching Philadelphia late that night In these cities he posted the letters which as has been told were received with so much joy The next day he left Philadelphia for Cape May late that night a boat came in from the ocean and anhour later he was on board the Shark From the time the san dunes of Cape Cod faded away in he night until six days had passed the pas sengers and crew of the Shark caught no sight of land Many were sighted but Capt Waters so directed the course of the yacht that none came within Kignalling diatance and generally remained hull down on the horizon It was cloudy most of the times and by the temperature alone was it surely known that a southerly course was being taken Thursday night was uncomfortably warm and the following day when the sun came out from behind the clouds the shade from the awnings was found grateful On Friday the signs that the tropics had been entered were unmistakable When Mr Pence awoke about three oclock Tuesday morning he was alarmed He was certain that something serious had happened An unearthly silence prevailed The en- gines had stopped and for the faint buzz of the electrical machin- ery there was no sound on the Shark The bOOt had lost all mo- tion It no longer rose and fell to the heaving of the seas Mr Pence hurriedly dressed and went on deck A seaman was jmcr- ing back and forth on the after- deck Mr Pence looked out over tb port side of the yacht A huge wall of rock to j almost over his head in ftmjight of the nascent moon the Snark seemed to rest in the center of a vast amphitheater of beetling rocks and crags Here and there he oould make out th form of palm and to his ears came the distinct sound of falling water as of a cascade To the east the cliffs threw a long shadow over the

gentlemen he al most shouted Hurry up the bom- bardment is about to begin Come along Mr Morton I will show you some sport for your lives Hestors excitement was contagious Look over on the bank there said Hestor Do you see something that looks like a log I do said Mr Kent Mr Mor ton also made it out as did most of the party i Its a gator an alligator and a whopper said Hestor I wont do a thing to him HestOr sprang to a polished piece of machinery and dropped behind a slanting steel guard a marine stood by the side of this bit of mechanism which was recognized at a glance as a rapidfire Hotchkiss gun Mr Pence gave it one look and retreated behind the deckhouse Mr Morton and the others looked on with keen interest rr zingziprrblng zip ring first shot struck the water to the right about 100 feet from loglike object Hestor swung the gun with a quick movement to the left and a marine raised the muzzle with the turn of an adjusting de vices For a second the water at the edge of the bank was churned into foam The next instant the Jogf was alive A long tail waved in the air the great Jaws opened and bel- lowed in a roar of rage and agony It rushed for the bank but as the head sank in the water the squat legs relaxed and the hulk lay motionless Hestor jumped back from the gun He took one look through the gase ous from the weapon threw his cap in the air danced What do you think of that he shouted The books say you have to shoot em in the eye in order to fetch em I know a trick worth two of that Say but hes a beaut What do you think of Hes A only a starter You can have more fun here in a week than you can have in New York in a year Come out from back there Mr Pence the cruel war is over Lower the launch Capt Waters There is plenty of water over there and well go and take a look at him During this incident and in all the happenings of this eventful day Hes- ter conducted himself as if the ar- rival and landing on this spot was an ordinary event which had been pleasantly anticipated by all on thej Shark The past was forgotten by Hestor who acted as the eager host of a party of gentlemen who should be delighted with their entertain- ment Except for a brief period of in actions nnd not in had been Hes tors attitude towards his captives since the Shark rounded On the morning which opened With the death of the crocodile Sidney Hammond discovered the saurian was a crocodile and not an alliga- tor Hestor was in jubilant spirits During the day he seemed surprised- at certain hints dropped by his un- willing guests His expression was tkat of the

discovered the place and in common with many other explorers gave it my name If you gentlemen do not like the name you can call it Havens Haven or Rockwells Reef or Vincents Land or anything you choose Its various topographical features are as yet not fully explored and are unnamed going to suggest that we honor Mr Morton by giv- ing his name to this beautiful body of water we are now on We will call it Mortons Bay Thank you said Mr Morton I appreciate and accept the honor I have some surprises in store for you said Hestor when the meal was finished We will go ashore directly and look on something more attrac tive than dead alligators or croco- diles as Sidney insists on calling them Ah Capt Waters has the tide turned sufficiently to make a land- ing There is now 14 foot of water at the landing was Capt Waters answer We will have the gang plank oh shore in ten minutes The panorama unrolled before the gaze of the voyagers on board the Shark as she slowly headed for a shelving rock was one of surpass ing beauty Imagine a pearshaped lake about a mile at its greatest width and a mile 3nd a half in length walled in by rocks and crags whose rugged slopes were by the splendid foliage of the tropics Na ture in some fantastic mood had created this spot and then as if ap palled at her work had wreathed it with flowers and chastened its out lines with the harmony of fern vine and palm The narrow inlet leading- to the ocean was guarded by two great rocks which seemed to over- hang and threaten the intrepid sailor who dared explore and ravish the beauties which nestled within These rocks were fully 400 feet in height and unlike those surrounding the lake were free from tree or ver dure Through the portal thus formed the ocean with its deep and glorious blue showed in contrast to the dark background of these crags The surge of the sea came welling through this gate but soon lost its power and on the further shores of- i the lake its ripples came as but- I the flutter of the deep breathing of the sea The shores were lined with boul ders which had tumbled down from crag and peak At intervals there were grassy stretches of meadow deep enough to form a foreground- to the darker beauties of cliff or Tar vine Here and there a brook trickled from the heights or found its tor tuous way through unknown dells And everywhere a lavish profusion of flowers The base of one cliff was aflame with the red of some flower the name of which was un known to any of the party To add to this riot of color there were flocks of parrots of many and bril- liant hues while of humming and mocking birds there seemed to be millions Overhead an eagle circled- on Jieavy pinions and the waters of the lake were dotted with flocks of water fowl About a thousand feet from the southern shore of this sheet of wa Hestor had named Mor tons Bay was a small island It was a gem of an island Basaltic rocks reached up from the liquid depths of the bay and its northern end was a crag probably 100 feet above the surface of the lake To the west it sloped gradually down and at low tide there was a sand bar It was on the inner edge of this bar that Hestor had sighted the crocodile Tall slender cocoa palms with their crowns of graceful leaves nodded in the morning breeze Cau camphor and dragon trees added their beauty to this tropical bou quet The base of the rocks was hid den in giant pond lilies ivy and other climbing plants which fes- tooned the sides of the cliffs as if struggJing to join the masses of flowers which the rocks above But the water had treasures not less beautiful At a depth of 50 or 60 feet the bottom of the lake was clearly visible Looking over the sides of the yacht the voyagers who were nov approaching the shore saw swarms of fish whose sides reflected the colors of the rain- bow Color is born in the tropics It dies atthe poles In the chill of the axial antipodes black and white alone survive In the warmth of the tropics all objects animate arid in- animate vie with each other to out rival the imagination the artist and blunt the pen of the writer It looks like a big aquarium dont it said L Sylvester Vincent as he gazed the water Look at the fish under those rocks Ill bet those are angel fish I saw some just like them at the aquarium down at the Battery in New York Say but there are some beauties down there It looks as if it had been built for them The rocks are covered with moss and there is a tunnel just like I saw in the aquarium Ithought- at the time that the fish in New York had a pretty soft snap but these fellows here have them beat in a walk I wonder if theyre good vTo Be Continued t I am t I terwhich cho of into t GfOJ- t 1 IL JK l A i 2ifT41 t enjoy- oft ned rt ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ > > >

used by human beings are probably the oldest so far s historical research has been able to determine date from the remot est antiquity the earliestmention of them being in Genesis in the time o Jacob about 1732 B C This antiquity has been confirmed by the finding off costly and elaborate specimens in by Dr Schliemann in Etruria by Castellan and in AngloSaxon in England Their use at first was not ornamental butsuperstitious states the Chicago Chronicle Amulets consisting of inscribed precious stones of metal were wornsuspended the neck frequently from the ears Augustine speaks strongly against earrings worn as amulets in his time It is a note- worthy fact that the ears of the statue Venus de Medici are bored evi- dently for earrings The fashion of men wearing ear- rings which is still common in among the fishermen of England with Portuguese sailors and many others is a survival of the super- stition that they were a protections against evil Many of the Italians im New York wear earrings for this CURLING AND HURLING Been Played Curling the game that was for A long time furtively indulged in by a few braw laddies has been placed on a substantial footing with numerous teams 1

youths excelled in at tIle Olympian games has recently become a regular scheduled feature of alE big athletic meetings More recent- ly the royal and ancient game of golf has been transplanted from the hills of Scotland to the heights of c Hudson where it languished for j years under the popular sus picion that it was merely a game cunningly devised to lure gouty oldi men into J taking muchneeded exer- cise Then it began to grow in favor until today tees and putting greens dot the country al most as thickly as baseball fields and 15000000 is spent for golfing implements says the Brooklyn Eagle

CHAPTER XIIICONTIN ED

Mr Morton slowly paced the saloonwith his hands behind his back andhis head bent forward as in deepcontemplation In a short time MrRockwell returned He gave Mr

a questioning look In responseMr Morton shook his head gloomily but said not a word His com-panion showed no surprise nor didhe evince much disappointment LikeMr Kent he saw no hqpe for immediate relief and had resigned himself to aWhit results He selecte-da book from the shelves and readquietly until dinner was announced

Dinner was served at six oclockThe weight of entertaining fell 6n-

Pfestor and Vincent While the tatter gentleman had not yet been ableto attract the attention of Mr Carmody he was satisfied that he wouldhave an abundance of time in whiohto explain his plans Mr Mortonhad acquainted his associates withthe failure which thus far had attended his negotiations He yet heldout hope but It was faint Whencoffee had been served Hestor aroseand said

Gentlemen we are now not farfrom Cape Cod During the evening T-

am going to send a man ashpie withletters You will find stationery inyour staterooms I suppose that allof you send word assuringyour families and that youare alive and well You can do sobut you must not enter intQ any particulars about this outing You canInform those in whom you are concerned that you are safe that youwill return to them after a reasonablelength of time or you may make anyother statement not connected withbusiness or with your present whereabouts Hand me the letters unsealed and I will examine them andhave them mailed during the night-I should have all of them in my pos-session before nine oclock

about me asked Mr Vin-cent

You are included said Mr Hestor

There was no hesitancy in accepting this invitation The thought thatthey could speedily communicatewith their loved ones lifted a greatload from their minds For an hourHestor acted as censor on these letters He mode but few changes andthese of cowse rendered it necessary to rewrite the rejected letters-In the meantime the yacht hadrounded Cape Cod and dropped intotIle quiet waters of the bay

Shortly after nine oclock thedinghy was out on her davitsand lowered into the water A youngman in a business suit such as wornfor everyday service by the averagecitizen acted as mail carrier Propelled by the sturdy arms of a sailor the little craft disappeared inthe darkness Two miles away tilelights of Provincetown flickered inthe distance

At about one oclock in the morning when most of the passengerswere asleep the dinglTy made anoth-er trip ashore and returned withoutthe mail messenger He was landednears Boston and on the followingmorning made a rapid journey toSpringfield Mass and Albanythence to New York city and Brooklyn reaching Philadelphia late thatnight In these cities he posted theletters which as has been told werereceived with so much joy The nextday he left Philadelphia for CapeMay late that night a boat camein from the ocean and anhour laterhe was on board the Shark

From the time the san dunes ofCape Cod faded away in he nightuntil six days had passed the passengers and crew of the Sharkcaught no sight of land Manywere sighted but Capt Waters sodirected the course of the yacht thatnone came within Kignalling diatanceand generally remained hull downon the horizon

It was cloudy most of the timesand by the temperature alone wasit surely known that a southerlycourse was being taken Thursdaynight was uncomfortably warm andthe following day when the sun cameout from behind the clouds theshade from the awnings was foundgrateful On Friday the signs thatthe tropics had been entered wereunmistakable

When Mr Pence awoke about threeoclock Tuesday morning he was

It may seem like egotism to callthis Hestoria he said as theywere seated at the breakfast tablebut I practically discovered the

place and in common with manyother explorers gave it my nameIf you gentlemen do not like thename you can call it Havens Havenor Rockwells Reef or VincentsLand or anything you choose Itsvarious topographical features areas yet not fully explored and areunnamed going to suggestthat we honor Mr Morton by giv-

Thank you said Mr Morton Iappreciate and accept the honor

I have some surprises in store foryou said Hestor when the meal wasfinished We will go ashore directlyand look on something more attractive than dead alligators or croco-diles as Sidney insists on callingthem Ah Capt Waters has the tideturned sufficiently to make a land-ing

The panorama unrolled before thegaze of the voyagers on board theShark as she slowly headed for a

shelving rock was one of surpassing beauty Imagine a pearshapedlake about a mile at its greatestwidth and a mile 3nd a half in lengthwalled in by rocks and crags whoserugged slopes were by thesplendid foliage of the tropics Nature in some fantastic mood hadcreated this spot and then as if appalled at her work had wreathed itwith flowers and chastened its outlines with the harmony of fern vineand palm The narrow inlet leading-to the ocean was guarded by twogreat rocks which seemed to over-hang and threaten the intrepid sailorwho dared explore and ravish thebeauties which nestled within Theserocks were fully 400 feet in heightand unlike those surrounding thelake were free from tree or verdure Through the portal thusformed the ocean with its deep andglorious blue showed in contrast tothe dark background of these cragsThe surge of the sea came wellingthrough this gate but soon lost itspower and on the further shores of-

i the lake its ripples came as but-I the flutter of the deep breathing ofthe sea

The shores were lined with boulders which had tumbled down fromcrag and peak At intervals therewere grassy stretches of meadowdeep enough to form a foreground-to the darker beauties of cliff or Tarvine Here and there a brook trickledfrom the heights or found its tortuous way through unknown dellsAnd everywhere a lavish profusionof flowers The base of one cliffwas aflame with the red of someflower the name of which was unknown to any of the party To addto this riot of color there wereflocks of parrots of many and bril-

liant hues while of humming andmocking birds there seemed to bemillions Overhead an eagle circled-on Jieavy pinions and the waters ofthe lake were dotted with flocks ofwater fowl

About a thousand feet from thesouthern shore of this sheet of wa

Hestor had named Mortons Bay was a small island Itwas a gem of an island Basalticrocks reached up from the liquiddepths of the bay and its northernend was a crag probably 100 feetabove the surface of the lake Tothe west it sloped gradually downand at low tide there was a sandbar It was on the inner edge ofthis bar that Hestor had sighted thecrocodile Tall slender cocoa palms

with their crowns of graceful leavesnodded in the morning breeze Cau

camphor and dragon trees addedtheir beauty to this tropical bouquet The base of the rocks was hidden in giant pond lilies ivy andother climbing plants which fes-tooned the sides of the cliffs as ifstruggJing to join the masses offlowers which the rocksabove

But the water had treasures notless beautiful At a depth of 50 or60 feet the bottom of the lake wasclearly visible Looking over thesides of the yacht the voyagerswho were nov approaching theshore saw swarms of fish whosesides reflected the colors of the rain-bow

Color is born in the tropics Itdies atthe poles In the chill of theaxial antipodes black and whitealone survive In the warmth of thetropics all objects animate arid in-

animate vie with each other to outrival the imagination the artistand blunt the pen of the writer

It looks like a big aquarium dontit said L Sylvester Vincent as hegazed the water Look at thefish under those rocks Ill betthose are angel fish I saw some justlike them at the aquarium down atthe Battery in New York Say butthere are some beauties down thereIt looks as if it had been built forthem The rocks are covered withmoss and there is a tunnel justlike I saw in the aquarium Ithought-at the time that the fish in NewYork had a pretty soft snap butthese fellows here have them beatin a walk I wonder if theyre good

EARRINGS WORN FOR

All Oraameata Woa by HKBUMBeluga They Are Oldest Re-

corded la History

Although few women in recent yearshave been wearing earringsion still survives and at functions ofselect society pendants of brilliantsare still frequently Of all tkfornaments used by human beings

are probably the oldest so far shistorical research has been able todetermine date from the remotest antiquity the earliestmention ofthem being in Genesis in the time oJacob about 1732 B C This antiquityhas been confirmed by the finding offcostly and elaborate specimens in

by Dr Schliemann in Etruriaby Castellan and in AngloSaxon

in England Their use at firstwas not ornamental butsuperstitiousstates the Chicago Chronicle

Amulets consisting of inscribedprecious stones of metal werewornsuspended the neckfrequently from the ears Augustinespeaks strongly against earrings wornas amulets in his time It is a note-worthy fact that the ears of thestatue Venus de Medici are bored evi-dently for earrings

The fashion of men wearing ear-rings which is still common inamong the fishermen ofEngland with Portuguese sailors andmany others is a survival of the super-stition that they were a protectionsagainst evil Many of the Italians imNew York wear earrings for this

CURLING AND HURLING

Been Played

Curling the game that was for Along time furtively indulged inby a few braw laddies has beenplaced on a substantial footing withnumerous teams 1

wellcontested tournaments v

has been wrested from the mo-nopoly of a few professionals and today a handball court is a popularfeature of every wellequipped

club Discus throwing that theGrecian youths excelled in at tIleOlympian games has recently becomea regular scheduled feature of alEbig athletic meetings More recent-ly the royal and ancient game of golfhas been transplanted from the hillsof Scotland to the heights of c

Hudson where it languished for j

years under the popular suspicion that it was merely a gamecunningly devised to lure gouty oldimen into Jtaking muchneeded exer-cise Then it began to grow in

favor until today tees andputting greens dot the country almost as thickly as baseball fields and

15000000 is spent for golfingimplements says the Brooklyn Eagle
