y"The simplest questions become difficult when you go into them fI9GD enough," continued Angus. This treasure for example. We

handed over our rights in it to Pardo and he died convinced that he owned it all. But strictly speu. ing he couldn't. You've got to think where this treasure came from. Two thirds of it were stolen in start with. Benny Boss only owned one third. The rest belonged to the Garcia. brothers with whom he we, in partnership.

won't be worth twopence," said Tom's sweetheart. They argued but were in no

mind to examine the metal case.

"It's a hideous anti-climax any- WAY.” declared Jane, "all dust and ashes nowl"

Her words had described the deck of the Iguana very correctly. The ship still held north but under eon- iditions of night, for though it want- ed still some hours to sunset, the sky was ebony black. torn by light- ning. A tremendous volume of sound hurtled in the air; the rain of ash- jes fell heavily, and the crew were Iflghting to clear the decks. Elec-

' bridge presently and spoke to Cos-

ta, who was full of new fears.

"This is not the end," he told them. "but I hope it may soon be the end of us if we can get away. I run north for another hour. then I turn west and presently head south. There is no land north of us. The breadth of the Pacino lies due south-theiMarquesa.s. There we between; but the nearest landisdue can get ample supplies if those is- lands are not also blowing up to- night. They have good anchorage and abundance of green food and fowl. Also. I hope, some coal for us." An hour later the captain chang- ed his course and turned to the south west. Table Top was now on their starboard bow, but hidden from them and its neighborhood only revealed by a blaze of light amid the universal darkness. Hot air in heavy gusts came off it and the volcanic glare fringed every wave of the sea with fire. A tre- mendous din roared off the island. but it was too dark to see what might be happening upon it. The scoria from aloft still poured upon them. Tom and Angus, though lame from the morning, helped the crew to flood the decks and wash the ashes off the ship.

Jane stayed below and assisted the cook to prepare it meal. He wel- comed her. but like the. rest of the hands was very frightened.

The travellers ate together to- wards nightfall, but Costa did not join them. He kept upon the bridge. under a pent roof lifted against the fall oi ashes. and food was car- ried up to him.

Then. suddenly, the engines stop- ped and they knew that something

must. be wrong. Tom left them and Ihastened to learn the trouble while 'Angus and Jane talked together.

; "We must all-keep our nerves and

go on with the diary," she said. "It shall be written if I have got. to write every word niysclf. though we have only Felice'a pictures of the ship and distant views of the island. All the wonderful photographs that he was going to make can never be taken now, but without phobi- graphs. nobody will believe a word of the book. Anyway it's got to be written. And you ought to do the bit about the spiders. Angus. I simply can't. I hate to think of them."

"I don't know the first thing ri- bout spiders." he confessed.

"But you know the. last thing about them," she said.

"The spiders have all gone now. and every other living creature " -t may have been left there," he ans- wered. ”And if you want to hear the truth, Jane, I'm a long way short of happy yeir-especially now the engines must have broken down. We're still not fifty miles from the island-perhaps not five-and-twem ty-and if what I think is happen-

ing pretty fast really doesi hap-

pen-" I "Oh, don't crook, live cried e-

nough for one day." she said. and he expressed regret.

"Would you like to smash open the box and look at the treasure to pass the time?" he asked, but Jane declined.

"That. would be the last straw," ishe declared. and they fell silent iuntil Tom joined them.

, It was she who spoke first when Ihe came back.

"You ought both to go to bed and .put up your feet and let. me oil Ithem again,” she told them, but. her sweetheart explained that it was impossible.

”We must lend a hand with the ashes all night," he replied. "They are coming down heavier than ever; but the damage isnft too serious; its' the danger of them setting us on fire. Carlos Paz is weeping over ihis engines. but working like vi devil. It's nothing vital, and he counts to be moving again in a. few hours. The trouble is that the. crew have got their tails down. Costa's served a rum ration: but it's the damned ashes funking them. They make breathing bad. There's no serious sea to name yet. That's something in be good and the elec- tric plant's all right. Come on, An- gus. We can cheer 'em a bit."

"How far are we frcin the island, Trim?"

”Costa reckons about forty miles. but the drift. is towards it. We'll soon get underway again and may be with ntorning it's going to be out of sight."

"I rather hope not. old man." said Maine, "not until we're a good few leagues further off."

They drank again and then limp- ed on deck together.

The night was one long racket cf, hammering, escaping steam and a ibattle with the foul, falling scoris on deck.

John. Wesley travelled 206.000 miles in half a century of preach- ing, atop the back of s. horse. When Allan Gould, a hotel owner of Merritt, B. C.. drowned in Nic- ola. Lake last July 27. drazeers searched for his body in vain.-that is until they called in one-eyed Harry, a 66-year-old Indian Medi- cine Man. who did strange things. The Indian studied the surface of the lake for a. few minutes then pointed to a spot. ”.l-lim down there." he said.

several minutes late grappling hooks brought Gould's body up from 30 feet. of water within three yards, of the spot the Indian had indicated.

Many years ago the nine beau- tiful daughters of a. poor widow in Czechoslovakia were carried a- way by s. plague. The bells in the village church tolled to accompany their souls on their Journey to hea- ven.

When the last child died the widow's grief was terrible to be- hold. Seid she: "The bells have tolled for my daughters but when I'm gone no one will ring them for me."

But the day the widow died, a strange thing happened. The nine bells of the church carillon tolled though no human hand had touch- ed them and made such heavenly music that the village folk believed they were rung by the souls of the deceased children who had heard their mother's lament.

Let me tell you about the climb- ing fish of India. Burma and Ma- lay. These fish leave the water in time of drought and take to the land. sometimes to climb trees, probably with a view to finding water in the recesses of the branches. The climbing powers of these tiny fish have been the sub- ject of many stories in days gone by, but only comparatively re- cently has reliable evidence come to hand.

The famous fighting fish comes from the same waters. and seldom attains a length of more than

It's worse than a wok fight and the injuries inflicted are such that even the victor is seldom able to engage in mother conflict. its fins being torn in ribbons. Fighting fish tournaments are controlled by the state and add consider bio wealth to the country's revenue.
