Antimony is one of the substances thnt covers a multitude of doubts. No one, not excepting tlte doc tors who use it, knows much about it, and in Chinese medicine It might be a chief factor of exceeding mistiness. Inside the cavern the existence of tho partially completed shaft to the ledgo accounted for recent disturb ances on tho face of tho rock, nnd new comers could not, of course, distinguish the bones of poor "J. S." as being the remains of a European. Anstruthcr was satisfied that none of them hazarded tho remotest guess as to tho value of the gaunt rock they were staring at, and chance helped him to bailie further Inquiry. A trumpeter on board the Orient was blowing his lungB out to summon them to luncheon when Captain Fltzroy put a final query. "I can quite understand," he said to Robert, "that you have an affection for tills weird place, but I am curious to know why you lay claim to the Island. You can hardly intend to return here."

While General Arthur was president nnd during one of the summers of his administration ho was on board tho Dispatch at Newport, and Secretary of the Navy Chandler was pestering him to consent to naming the new dis patch boat afterward the Dolphin, tho Concord, after the first battle of tho Revolution. General Arthur was dis posed to quiz Chandler about his pro posed name, lie preferred the name Dolphin as being more suggestive of speed at sea. When Chandler argued the Importance of keeping in mind tho heroic resistance of the colonial mili tia and the brilliant opposition offered to riteuirn's men General Arthur ask ed him: "What Is It that you propose to call this ship?" "The Concord," answered Chandler, giving the approved New Ilampshlro pronunciation. "There," retorted Arthur, Inviting tho attention of Captain Reeder. "Do you hear that? Conquered.

Joseph Holdob lor and wifo wero sent to nn asylum for tho lnsano. They came from a farm near Wakofiold, Nob. leaving their grain uncut, nnd wore found wandering about tho streets hero .with two children. Tho rloldoblors lived on an Isolated hit of farm land In n barren tract. The nearest neighbor was miles away. Tho couplo wero almost entirely do- part of tho city where houses are bo Ing moved. A big gang is working on tho Platto river brldgo. None of tho smaller bridges and culvertB havo Sex In Ant, The different species of ants aro pretty generally distributed over tho martial, nor was she afraid to pro claim to all the world that this man was her lover. As for Captain Fltz roy, his bushy eyebrows disappeared into his peaked cap when he heard the manner of their speech. Nevertheless Ventnor smiled again. "Even the Dyaks respected Miss Deune," he said. But Anstruther, sorry for the mani fest uneasiness of the shipowner, re pressed the retort on his lips and forthwith suggested that they should walk to the north beach in tho first instance, that being the scene of the wreck. During the next hour he became audi tor rather than narrator. It was Iris who told of his wild fight against wind and waves; Iris who showed them where he fought with the devilfish; Iris who expatiated on tho long days of ceaseless toll, his dauntless cour age In the face of every difficulty, the way In which ho rescued her from tho clutch of tho savages, the skill of his preparations against the anticipated attack and the last great achievement of all, when time after time ho foiled tho Dyaks' best laid plans and Hung them off, crippled and disheartened, during tho muny phases of the thirty hours' battle. There were tears In her eyes when she ended, but they were tears of thankful happiness, and Lord Ventnor, n silent listener who missed neither word nor look, felt a deeper chill in his cold heart as ho realized that this wo man's love could never be his. Tho knowledge excited his passion tho more. His hatred of Anstruther now became a mania, an Insensate resolve to mortally stab this meddler who al ways stood In his path. Robert hoped that bis present ordeal was over. It had only begun. He was called on to answer questions without number. Why had the tunnel been made? What was the mystery of the vulley of death? How did he innnnge to guess tho dimensions of the sundial? How came he to acquire such nn amaz ing stock of out of the way knowledgo of the edlblo properties of roots and trees? How? Why? Whero? When? They never would be satisfied, for not even the British navy, poking Its nose Into tho recesses of the world, often comes across such an amazing story as the adveuturea of tills couple on mmuiur onoges unu cuiveru. imvu - j d 0Q t,jlB nccomit tne nntura,. been put in. they evidently coming j tnero ,fl wor, for mm under a spoarate contract.

Tho males aro invnrla- natlon proceedings, though some of bly Bmnler than tho females and, like body was more or less desirous to havo this point cleared up. IIo looked tho questioner squnrely In the face. "In some parts of the world," ho said, "there are sunken reefs, unknown, un charted, on which many a vessel has been lost without any contributory fault on tho part of her officers." "rndoubtcilly." "Well, Captain Fltzroy, when I was Htatloned with my regiment In Hong k6ng I encountered such a reef and wrecked my life on It At least that !s how It seemed to me then. Fortune threw me ashore hero after a 1c? and bitter submergence. You can jinrdly blame me If I cling to the tiny speck of land that gave mo salvation." "No," admitted the sailor. He knew there was something more In the al legory than the text revealed, but It was no business of his. "Moreover," continued Robert smll Inc'.y, "yoy see I have a partner." "There ennnot be the slightest doubt about the partner," was tho prompt re ply. Then every one laughed, Iris more than any, though Sir Arthur Dcano's gayety was forced, and Lord Ventnor could taste tho acidity of his own smile. Later In the day the first lieutenant told his chief of Anstruthor's voluntary statement concerning the court martial. Captain Fltzroy was naturally pained by tills unpleasant revelation, but he took exactly the same view as that ex pressed by tho first lieutenant In Rob ert's presence. Nevertheless he pondered the matter nnd seized an early opportunity of men tioning it to Lord Ventnor. That dis tinguished nobleman was vastly sur prised to learn how Anstruther had cut the ground from beneath bis feet "Yes," ho said, In reply to Che sailor's request for Information, "I know all about It It could not well be other wise, seeing that next to Mrs. Costobell I was the principal witness against him." "That must havo been awkward -for you," was the unexpected comment "Indeed! Why?" "Because rumor linked your nnmo with that of the lady In a somewhat outspoken way." "You astonish me. Anstruther cor taluly made some stupid allegations during tho trial, but I had no idea he was able to spread this malicious re port subsequently." "I am not talking of Hongkong, my lord, but of Singapore, months later." Captain Fitzroy's tone was exceed ing dry. Indeed, some people might deem It offensIve Ills lordship permitted himself tho rare luxury of an. angry, seowh (To bo Continued) That Settle's It.
