reaented bitterly the frequent thefts of peurla from his log ger the tricks of the sverage dia mond thief become ludicrously appar ent when compared with th almost superhuman evasion of the japanese shell opener captain fiashlno had grown subtle with experience but his smiling patience gave out before the constant pllfeiinga of almost priceless gems poor coeuas sppesred from the for ward hatch escorting a naked japanese dlyer a stern silence awaited him per a few moments be remained sul lenly irresolute cigarette in month hit bare toea kicking icrapa of opened shell across the deck captain

en his behalf there was none a windlassband wearing s coolie loincloth wss holding a baited line over the port bow incidentally a pair of tiger sharks drifted from the shadow of tbe loggers keel and re mained motionless within a few yards of the bait tbe pearl thief folded hla arms sub missively as one expecting punish ment swift and unannounced the si lent wrath that mores japanese le gions to impossible asaaults flowed from the captains geiitnra he turned to t diver at hla elbow and whispered tbe crew catching bis meaning be came suddenly alert a volcanic rage swept over them oaths of strange origin and dialects filled tbe sir cap tain sashlno nodded twice and called to tbe windlssehand with tbe baited line three men caught insuml by the shoulders and fastened the line about hla waist and hips leaving his arms free over shouted the captain let him keaejds knife insuml was dangling over the bows hit breast and feet nearly touching the water the tropic sun pierced almost to the sandy floor of tbe straits a tiger shark does not always swoop to the object in sight but will sometimes intpect it for a short period then van- lab for a brief space and return with the speed of a bawk the thief lay suspended within an inch of the water bis knees slightly updrawn therknlfe in his right hand was held point out from bis fuce above him leant the crew of the lug ger telling him lo fluent japanese that thieves and sharks were the spawn of devil men an inquisitive snout appeared under tbe loggers bow a pair of swinish eyes began to regard tbe suspended insuml with patient interest then moving slowly in straight line flatbed suddenly under hli chest in suml back arched the any belly swpt beneath a quick grunting stab followed and tbe water grew crimson for several yard he breathed hoarse ly and wagged bis bullet bead root i sneered the captain tbe scent will other and they will buttle him to death like american i a loud thrashing was tteard near the htum the trong

could renlst tlntc wna no deviation from the line of attack it flashed straight un der the jups ribs with the strength and fortitude of hla kind the suspend ed man thrust hla left hand into the open jaws a second later his kalfe arm was slashing at the upturned throat for a moment it seemed as though the rope would break under the strain with lunatic strength he appeared to be holding the shark st aruih lengtb beneath the water then with u cry he stabbed downward sua in and again until bis head dropped forward heave up shouted the captain 8lowly they hauled him over the rail and tbey saw that lila loft arm was torn snd abredded where it had entered the gaping moulli the captain surveyed the hurt man calmly there was no trace of emo tion in bis voice us he addreased the assembled crew fear will not make him apeak the pearl is somewhere and we msy yet find it take him below and see that hla hurts are attended to there is an english doctor in tbe town late la the afternoon when the suns rays lay in streaks of fierce rod across the straits of torres a dead tiger shark drifted under the luggers fltern past the bobbing hand f the naked divers around it swarmed a ravenous shoal of black bream and yellowtails guzzling flashing their sil ver btsljes near the wide gash under the upturned throat incidentally a dory pushed off from s tiny pier st the inlets mouth snd rowed slowly in the wake of the dead monrter a malay diver and a japa nese coolie sat at the ears the dead shark drifted beyond the great oyster bank where the long sea grass swayed and rippled in tbe out- going tide leaning from the dory the malay thrust a boathook under the sharks dorsal tin and drew it with much labor under the lee of a palm- sheltered promontory sashinos glasses cannot follow us now he panted there will be no need to hurry with our work the shark was beached and after a careful survey of the surrounding scrub the mslay drew a long sheath knife and passed his thumb gently over the point then with a doiea deft strokes he laid bare the huge gul- let while tbe jap coolie plunged flls fists inside tbe two men grunted on tbelr knees beside the dead hark searching and probing with the craft of deep sea fish ermen the surf rippled and screamed over the low sand dunea as the ude re ceded beyond tbe mangrove belt the malays head came up with a sudden jerk drawing bis hand from tbe bared throat of tbe monster he held it aloft exultantly a pearl of peculiar luster and orient gleamed between his finger and thumb tbe sun rays seemed to illumine it with supernatural radiance as he held it op for the japa inspection if a thief cares not where he pats his arm comrade there are always good hidingplaces for a ten thousand- dollar pearl i a chuckling sound escaped tbe jap as he leant forward to inspect the pearl which the desperate inminul had thrust into tbe monsters throat insuml was bora with a crease in bis palm i saw saahlno look into hla hand before tbey swung blm to the shark i could not hide a bead la miner a few days later insuml his left arm swathed in bandage met his two confreres at the house of a chinese pearl buyer near deliverance inlet aft- ter much

sufficiently hard without having the ordiriaiy ontario clay ones which wc must use almost daily in the condition in which they may tihiinlly be found good ronds is the popular cry the only dissenting voice being that of the farmer who makes largo and un taxed sunday prollt by hauling curs from the miry depths of the particularly had spot of the road in front of his gate but like every other good cause it must wait till the machinery of state has turned out numerous other bills and referendums and in the meantime the people must not allow the legislature to forget good roads and the glorious future of our province ciood roads would bo an econo mic advantage to the- province they would save time for tbe pro ducer who brings his goods to tho market and lower theprice for the consumer besides they would make life easier for people who must use the road behold tho jaded appearance of the average stood on tho seventh line and hearken to the horn of tho stall ed ear the good roads which have been constructed prove satisfactory in every way as nn example take tho torontohamilton highway even though it is somewhat nar row it is a pleasure to tho driver of both touring car and buckboard a joy to tho speeder and a source of revenue to tho govern ment which collects the fines what would best raise thp value of land what would unite the city and tho country what would make the season of travel ling longer what would please motorist and pedestrian alike the answer to all these questions and many more is good highways when the main street of george town is at last paved wo shall have as much pride as acton or bramp ton and shall perhaps be inspired with as high ambition as toronto itself for good roads lead to many things let us get busy and the time will come when we
