Jones. unen- cumbered by knowledge. blew through his lips. “He’s a wonderful chap, is Bran ” he said. contentedly. “It licks me what a man like him wants messin’ about in the service for. He’s eddi- cated up to the top notch. an’ he has money, too. His lodgin’s cost the whole of his pay, the missus says. an’ that kid or his has a hospital nuss, if you please." Jones was grateful to his mates for their recent attentions. He was in- clined to genial gossip. but Jim was watching the boat curving towards the lighthouse. The high spring tide was at tie full. So he only growled. “You can see with half tn 0! has taken on this job for s cm: wish he was In that blessed bost.‘ "VWiaitTE 133:5" he cried. “He'll bond her in two ticks." Jones was quite certain now that his subordinate harbored some necret fear of danger. On no account. would the sailor men- tion sharks. He might be miltnken, and Jones would guflaw at his “deep- sea" fancies. Anyhow it was Bmd'l affair. A friend might advise; he would never tattle. The head-keeper. vaguely excited. peered through his glass. Both boat and swimmer were in the annular fleld. Brand had resumed the breast stroke. The swing of the tide can ried the broken bow towards him. He was not more than the boat’s length distant when he dived suddenly and the cormorants flapped aloft. A black tin darted into sight, leaving a sharply divided trail in the smooth patch of water created by the turning of the derelict. Jones was genuinely excited now. “My God!" he cried‘, “what is it?” “A shark!” yelled Jim. “I knew it. I warned him. Eh. but he’s game is the cap’n." "Whiz didn’t you tell me?” roared Jones. Under reversed conditions he would have behaved exactly as Jim did. But it was no time for words. The men peered at the sudden tragedy with an intensity which left them gasping for breath. More than two hundred yards away in reality. the magnifying glasses brought this hor- or so close that they could seeâ€"they almost. thought they could hearâ€"~its tenscly dramatic action. The rapidly moving black signal reached the small *ddy caused by the man's disappear- mce. Instantly a great sinuous shin- ing body rose half out of the water. and a powerful tail struck the side of the boat a resounding whack. Jim’s first expletlvew died in his throat. For a single instant they saw the dark hair and face of the man above the surface. The shark circled about and rushed. Brand sank again. and again the giant man-eater writhed in agonized contortions and the sea showed masses of froth and dark blotches. The fluttering: of the birds became irregular and alarmed. Their wheeling flights partly obscured events below. The gulls, screeching their fright, or it might be interest. kept close to the water. and the cor- morants sailed in circles aloft. “I wouldn’ t 113’ missed it for a bun" dred, ” yelped Jim. “It's a. fight to the finish, an’ the cap'n '11 win. Theref ain’t another sea-lawyer on the Job,’ an’ Brand knows how to handle thiai one." “He's done lt!” Jonoo heard him say. “He's ripped hlm.’ Oh, bully! May the Lord grant there's only one." “He'll swim wild now, Brand. Keep out of his track.” Jones was pallid and streaming with perspiration. “I wouldn’t have had It happen for fifty quid," he groaned. Their mate’s head reappeared and Jim relieved the tension by a mighty, shout: Sure enough, the ugly monster be- gan to thrash the water and career around on the surface in frantic con- vulsions. The second stab of the knife had reached a vital part. Brand, who perhaps had seen a Malay diver handling his lite-lo enemy. coolly struck out towards n31o stern of the boat. The shark, churning the see into a white foam. whirled away in blind pursuit of the death which was rending him. The man, unharmed but somewhat breathless, clambered over the folds of the sail into the boat. Jim was about to chant his than“ in other terms when his attention wu caught by Brand's curious actions. “Glory be!” quavered Jon“, who was a Baptist. In stepping across the after thwart he stopped as though something had stun ghim. His hesitation was momo entary. Pressing his left hand to mouth and nose. he passed rapidly forward, stooped, caught a limp body by the belt which every sailor wears. and, with a mighty effort. slung it into the sea, where it sank instantly. So the shark, like many a human oongener of higher intellect. had only missed his opportunity by being too precipitate. whilst the cormoranta and gulls. eyeing him ominously, did not know what they had lost. Then the man returned to the sail and peered beneath. Neither of the onlookers could distinguish anything of special interest under the heavy canvas sheet. Whatever it was Brand apparently resolved to leave it alone for the moment. He shipped a pair of can. and. with two vigorous sweeps. impelled the derelict away from the chamel-honee atmosphere which evidently elm to Then the shark engaged hle nttenvl intention of finishing thus poetlcnlly tum.

Each and all, they had forgotten the Princess Royal. She was close in, much nearer than mall steamers usu- ally ventured. At first they gazed at her With sur- prise, Brand even suspending his manoeuvres for a moment.

Continuing. he said the Board of Trade returns for the past six months showed an increase of £70, 000, 000. That was the sort of decay he liked to see (laughter). “I begin to have some hope for you.” he remarked. “Don't die yet. You are a curious lot," he observed. “When all the civilized world is shut up against you and you ought to go down by every rule of logic and commonsense and political economy, you exploit fresh continents. The genius of your success is that you have the magnifi- cent knack of minding your own busi- ness. The fact is you have practical business interests that link you up with every community under the sun. and when you interfere you are only doing so in pursuance of your own interests.

A great number of the fruit ranches last season sowed cover crops as root protection, and its beneficial results are seemingly demonstrated in the increased yield of the orchards that were so treated. and the estimated yield of the Valley for this season. Fruit men are grad- ually learning more regarding condi tions that influence the crop and it is almost safe to say that such pro- cautions are being taken as will pre- vent the disaster which the severe weather wrought upon the orchards in many of the valleys otfiBritish Col. umbia a year ago. More land in the Okanagan is being brought under irri: gation. and this summer is witnessing much increased plantation.
