To My Llttlo Critics I hao Just bought

Once upon n tlmo there wns a very young

hn was n stole. Ho renllv did not know
tthnt a stole wns himself, but tho niimn

many other young men, w lulled to impress
Upon a young hidv's mind th.il 111' -nu

Tho young lady asked mn what ft stole
was, ond I told her n atoic wns a person w ho
would not jump when you stuck a needlo In
him
That was before I bought my beautiful
dictionary.
Now, It enmo to pass that whnt I bad
said tn the jiiung lady stuck fast In her

So, one ilny, the aforesaid young lady stuck

You will notice that I nnld i. vrnni.r

Stern felt tho shuddering chills chaso
each other up and down bis spine, playing u
nervous accompaniment to their chant.
"Gad '" he muttered, shivering, "what n

llko mo' It's moro llko n scene fiom somo

Agnln Iho Folk strained nt tun iopi.
Stern Willi them; nnd now the great weigni
below was surely rising, Inch by Inch, up.
up. toward the black nnd gleaming surface
of the abysmal sea.
Stern's heart wis pounding wildly. If
only Incredible ns it seemed tho Paulllac
really wcro thero at tho end of tho con
irglng ropes; and If It wore still In con
dition to bo repaired again' If only tho
hook nnd the hard-taxed ropes held '

pulling 111 his muscles linrdened, like steel,
nnd tho canoe balanced, though It wns by
flvo oarsmon nnd the patriarch nil nt tho
other gunwale tipped crnzlly. "Pull!

Beatrice sprang to tho rope. Unable to
restrain herself, sho, too, laid hold on tho
taut, dripping cord, nnd her white hands,
tlrm. muscular, shapely, gripped with n
strength one could neer have guessed lay
In them.
And now the ropes wero sliding up out of
tho water, faster, over faster; and higher
roso tho song of all those laboring Folk nnd
all who w-ntchrd from tho outling ring of
boats
"Up with It, men! Up!" panted tho en

them began to boll and bubble strangely,
ns though with tho rising of a monster llsb.
nnd all nt onco. with a heave, a sloshing
splatter, u huge, weed-covered, wlngllko
object, sluicing brine, wallowed shnrply out
Into the torchlight.
A great triumphal howl roso from the
waiting Folk u howl Hint drowned Stern's
cheer and that of Beatrice, and for a mo
ment nil wns confusion The wing rose, full,
slid back into the water and again dipped
upwnnl. The canoes canted. Some tool;

In tho central group, nnd cries, shouts, or
ders nnd a wild fencing off with puddles
followod.
Storn yelled In vnln orders that the old
man could not even hear to translate, or
ders which would not even though heard,
have been obeyed But uftr a moment or
two comparative order wns lesloreU, and
the engineer, veins it u ndlng out on his
tcmiii.a. eyes ablaze, bellowed
Hold fast, you! No more, no more

"You, father here tell "em to let It

The patrlnich com eyed the ess nci of
these instructions to the oarsmen, and now,
removed by tho outlying boats. ) ten
cunoes moved very slowly toward Hu- Ul
lage Itetnrded by tho vast, blrdllko bulk Ui.it
trailed below, they seemed hardly tu m ike

boats to hitch on nnd help by towing l.ium
wero lubsed, nnd after a while, all tivenlj

pairs uf sinewy arms, wcro dragging the
Paulllac shoreward.
Stern's excitement now that the machine
was really almost, in his grasp again far
from diminishing, wos every mlnuto grow
ing keener.
The delay until ho couM oxamtno It and
see Its condition nnd Its chances 'of repair
seemed interminable. Continually he urged

to force the rowers to stiri greater exer

e try ounce of strength Into the toll Bach

Half un hour passed, and now at lensth
the dim and clustered lights of the illage
began to show vaguely through the mint
Come on, bojs; now for It!" shouted
Stern "Land her for me and I'll show
uu wonders you never even dreamed of!1'
They drew near the shore. Already Stern
was formulating hU plans for landing the
machine without injuring It, when out from
the beach u long and swift canoe put rap
idly, driven by twenty men.
At sight of It the rowing In Stern's boats
weakened, then stopped Confused cries
arose, altercations and strange shouts ; then
a hush of expectant-j. of fear, seemed to
possess the boat crews
And ever nearer, larger, drew the long
canoe, a two-pronged, blazing cresset at
its bows.
Across the waters drifted a word
"do on. you' Row'" cried Stern.' "Land

the H'liuige long boat, under Iho urge of

"Well." he cried, "are you going to order

And menacingly he rnlsed the grim and

"()h. my son'" exclaimed the patriarch,

delivered his ultimatum to the patriarch,
'come, order tnein ashore !
The old man. anguished and tremulous,
spoke a few words. Answers arose here,
there. He called something to the standing
figure In the dlspatchbbat, wh&h slackened,
stopped, turned and headed for the dletant
beach
With some confucion the oarsmen of the
fleet took up their task again. And now In
a grim silence, more dutconpeftlng even

way toward land

Paulllac nt once
And. standing up lu ihe boat with his
pistol leveled, he eoiiiniaiided them, through
the medlumshlp of the patriarch, to shorten
the ropes and paddle in Kllll closer
When the bench was nnlv n row rods dis

Ignoring the silent, expiclant crswd and

The patriarch, standing lu fear nnd keen
