OARING FEATS Of A DIVldT

Is the record np to date of the effort to
recover the treasure on the sunken
oteaiuchip Kkyro.
Tlie Skyro. bound from Carthafrsna
to UdiIod, struck on the Meiziddo reef
and sank in twcnty-elRht fathoms, low
water. The Mcixiddo reef la on th
const of Spain, nine mile south of Cape
riuisterre.
The accident occurred In 1891, and it
was not until four years later. May,
18t5. that any attempt was made to re
cover the valuable cargo which the
uuken steamship contained, the most
tempting part of which consisted of
eighty-eight bars of silver, valued at
$45,000. This treasure was stored away
In a srmre berth in the cabin, while m
the boKl was TOO tons of pig lead, valued
t $70,000.
It whs J. K. Moffat, an Englishman,
llriag in Bilbao, who made the first at
tempt on the treasure. After four or
Ore months' labor and terrible under
water work by the divers all Mr. Mof
fat had to show for his time and money

cabin skylight grating. One of the
divers went ravins mad from his suf
ferings under water, and when con
fined jumped through a window in his
delirium. A fellow worker was Inca
pacitated for life as a result of bis ex
posure. Mr. Moffat let things rest at
this luitil July of the present year.
During the two months following the
beginning of these second operations a
diver us rued Erostarbe descended forty-four
times and recovered fifty-nine
bars of silver, the average time of each
descent blng thirteen minutes. After
the first thirty-seven bars bad been got
to the surface it was found necessary
to use dynamite.
The dynamite so cleared things that

A BOLD, BAD BURGLAR
"Isn't it perfectly dreadful? It seems
there Is no place secure from them. The
papers contain nothing but burglaries,
robberies and hold-ups. I am almost
afraid to look under the bed at night."
Blanche Warden turned the rings on
her fingers nervously as she spoke. She
was uot a timid girl, but the final test
of bravery had never come to her.
"What would you do in case a burg
lar entered your room, Mr. Dulauo?"
she asked, addressing one of her call
ers. Exactly what I did lust night." the
gentleman replied.
"You surely didn't have a burglar
last night!" Blanche cried.
"And why uot? I am keeping the
affair quiet because I have a clew that
to being followed up. Of course It will
be safe to mention it here," Dulauo
replied.
"To be sure. Do tell us about It,"
the girl said, eagerly.
"It must have been about 230 o'clock
this morning when I was aroused by
someone turning a key In tbe door that
communicates with tbe adjoining room.
I'm pretty stupid when I first awaken,
but I was soon aroused to full con
sciousness by something cold against
tny temple."
"Oh, bow dreadful!" Blanche cried,
shivering.
"That wasn't the dreadful part," Du
lauo laughed. "The part I object most
to is what followed. Tbe fellow held
bis gun calmly with one band while he
went through my clothes and helped
himself to my watch, my diamond
scarf pin and all my ready money."
"At what time did you say that oc
curred?" Arthur Forrest asked.
"Well, I didn't have any watch to tell
me the exact time, but after I bad lain
awake some three or four minutes tbe
chimes on Pilgrim Church sounded tbe
three-quarter hour and after an equal- J
ly long time tbe clock struck 3," Du
lano replied, with a comical drawl.
"Guess it was watches be was after.
He got mine at about tbe same time.
Wonder If be visited any of tbe other
fellows at our bouse?" Forrest said.
"What: the burglar was In your
room, too, Artb Mr. Forrest?" Blanche
cried.
"Yes, but be bad the kindness to let
me sleep until be got what he wanted.
He awakened me as he went through
tbe window," the young man replied.
"Ob. please don't tell me any more,'
Blanche exclaimed. "You will have
me so frightened. And I nave to stay
In this great bouse with no one but tbe
servants. You know poor Leona is
very 111 and papa and mamma were
called to Chicago to-day, so I am
alone," Miss Warden said with som
uneasiness.
"Really. Blanche, it Isn't safe for yotf
to stay here alone," Arthur said, se
riously. "Ob, I'm not afraid. I'll put tbe Jew
els and plate In tbe big chest In tbe
wine cellar and sleep with a revolvei
under my pillow. It would be real fun
to have a burglar come," Blanche re
plied, laughing.
Then they dismissed that terror-ln
spiring theme from their conversation,
but Arthur continued restless and un
easy. He stood at the window and
sang. As Dulano turned the music foi
her. be whispered softly:
"Slip into tbe library for a moment.
I have something Important to say to
you." Then he said aloud: "I think 1
shall take a smoke In tbe library. If I
may be excused."
When he bad left the room Blanche
walked over to the deep bay wlodott
n aM lipr hand cntlv on Arthur'
arm. "Wbnt makes you so stieut tnit
evening, dear?" she asked tend rly.
"Oh. Blanche. I bate that Dulano. J
suppose I am Jealous, but I wish yot.
wouldn t bare him hanging arounc
here," be exclaimed, while his hand
some face crimsoned.
"But, Arthur, you brought him hen
before you ever spoke of love to uie
Surely, you are not afraid of him now
thnt yon have my promise?" the glr!
said seriously.
"No, dearest, I do not doubt you. i
felt sorry for him a stranger there a
the boarding-bouse. And, besides,
wanted him to meet the sweetest worn
an In St. Louis," he whispered, as b
pressed Just tbe suggestion of a Jtlai
on her cheek.
"By the way, I'll go and bunt up that
Harper for you, dear," she said, wltl
an effort at spontaneity that was no
altogether a success. Tbea she left tbi
drawing-room, walked half way up tht
stairs, descended softly and slipped In
to tbe library. Dulano was at ber side
in an Instant.
I'm sorry yon spoke of tbe jewels
and things," he said. 1 have reason
to think Forrest la the borglar. Ha has
been losing heavily at card lately, and
la In danger of losing his position at the
hank.? be whliBeredJhmTjM;
At the mention of Arthur4! hatt
Blanche would hare cried out, bnt the
man placed his fingers deftly over ber
lips. As soon aa tbe speech waa ended
she fled to her room, bunted np tbe
magaxine and returned to the drawing'
room.
Tbe two men were glaring at each
other in angry silence when aha
tered. '
"This call promises to be a game oi
freezeout, so I guess I will leave aad
give you a chance to help Miss Warden
put away tbe silver," Mr. Dulano said
in a faintly sarcastic tone to Forrest.
"If Miss Warden desires my help I
shall certainly remain," Arthur said
angrily.
"I shall require no assistance what
ever,'' the girl said, haughtily, and the
two men departed together. For some
minutes she sat In the dressing-room,
sad and sore. Arthur Forrest, a gam
bler, perhaps a burglar! Mo, It could
not be. And yet why had he been so
moody of late? Her heart waa sore,
and, with no thought of tbe valuables
In the house, she dragged herself to
bed. Tbe night wore on and sleep came
not The clock waa Just striking the
hour of 3 when the door opened slow
ly, and she could see the shadowy out
line of a man. For a moment she was
paralysed with terror. The cream that
started from ber heart lost Itself some
where In ber throat. A thousand aw
ful fancies chased each other through
ber mind as the man advanced to the
bed. Then she thought of the revolver
that she had intended to put under her
pillow. Abas, it waa peacefully repos
ing on the dressing-table in her father's
room. The man was tall and wore a
black mask. He must be tbe same one
who bad visited Mr. Dulano and Ar
thur the night before. Perhaps it was
Arthur. At th thought of ber lover
tbe blood went coursing through ber
body, and, to her astonishment, she
found that she was calm.
"Are you awake?' the burglar whis
pered, and his voice sounded strangely
familiar.
"Yes," she said faintly.
"Then get up. Don't be afraid. I am
not going to barm you. I only want
tbe family Jewels. Take me to where
they are kept." he whispered again.
At the sound of that voice tbe last
vestige of fear left her. Indignation
and outraged feeling smothered every
other emotion In ber heart. She would
prove this lover of hers. Without a
moment's hesitation she arose from ber
bed, glanced Indifferently at the glit
tering barrel of tbe revolver In the
burglar's hand and walked over to the
table, where she lit ber little emer
gency lamp.
"Follow me; I am at your mercy, but
I trust you as a gentleman even though
you are a burglar," she said in frigid
ones.
Then she led tbe way through the
corridor and down tbe back stairway to
the laundry and cellars. Blanche, in
ber Indignation, knew not that the
granitoid Hoor was cold beneath ber
little bare feet. When she bad almost
reached the wine cellar she remem
bered that the key was on her father's
keyring, and was probably at that time
in Chicago. An Idea struck her.
"Here; you bold tbe lamp while
climb up and get tbe key," said sbe. In
dicating a niche in the wall. Tbe man's
eyes followed ber glance, and he was
lost. As q .ick as thought she blew out
tbe lamp, hurled it In resounding frag
ments on the floor and sprang upon the
burglar like a tiger. The revolver was
hors without a struggle, and tbe man
was her prisoner.
"Are you Arthur Forrest? Speak ot
I'll blow your brains out!" she cried.
"My God. spare me, Blanche! I'm
Arthur," the man whispered.
She covered him with the revolver,
while she backed across the laundry.
When she had gained the stairs she
bolted tbe door securely and fled trem
blingly to the ball above. At tbe li
brary door she baited, and a low cry
escaped ber lips as sbe caught sight of
another man In tbe open window.
"Blanche, my darling, are you safe?"
Arthur Forrest cried, as he beheld ber
white-robed figure.
"How did you escape? I thought tbe
outer door was locked," sbe said, as she
repelled his touch.
"Escape!" tbe young man cried. In as
tonishment. "I have been following
him since midnight. One of my men,
who was left here to guard the house,
tells me that he entered this window
ten minutes ago. Tbe fellow was
afraid to follow alone. I have tracked
him from Broadway and twice he evad
ed me. Where is he, darling?"
"Who who is It you are looking for?"
the girl gasped.
"Wallace Dulano. The officers are
here to arrest him. Is he still In tbe
touse 7' Arthur asked, eagerly.
There is no way or escape except tr)
the pantry stairs," Blanche replied.
Then, while Arthur led tbe officers In
she slipped, away to her room and
donned her dressing gown and slip
pers. In a few minutes sbe Joined her
fiance In tbe reception ball. Tbe gas
was burning brightly now and she
could hear the heavy tread of men as
they took their prisoner from her Im
promptu Jail.
"You are a brave little woman," Ar
thur said fondly as be led her to a
divan.
"No; I am a miserable coward, but
1 am a proud woman, and when a wom
an thinks she has been wronged fire
and storm cannot stop her," Blanche
laid, humbly.
"What do you mean by that, dear
est?" the lover asked.
"Oh, Arthur, he lied to me and I fie
leved him. He told me that you were
tbe burglar and I thought you were
jslng even my love to further your own
wicked ends. That is why I had cour
ige to walk downstairs at the end of a
,-evolver. Can you ever forgive me for
L-hcrlshing such an Ignoble thought?"
Oie cried as she buried ber face on bis
breast.
"Yes, my darling," tbe young man
laid, tenderly. "But I have stolen
something that Is of Infinitely more
value than your plate and Jewels. I
have stolen this noble heart and I am
willing to admit that I am a bold, bad
burglar." Ottawa Free Press.

An excellent reply was that one
made by a Yankee pilot to tbe owner
f a Mississippi River steamboat
The boat was at New Orleans, and
tbe Yankee applied for the vacant post
of pilot, saying that be thought be
could give satisfaction, provided they
were "lookin' for a man about als alee
nd build."
Your size and build will do well
enough," said tbe owner, surveying the
lank form and rugged face of tbe ap
plicant with some amusement, "but do
you know about the river, where tbe
snags are. and so on?"
Well, I'm pretty well acquainted
with the river," drawled the Yankee,
with bis eyes fixed on a stick be was
whittling, "but when you come to talk-
In' about the snags, I don't know ex
actly where they are, I must say."
"Don't know where the snags jira!"
said the boat owner.Jn a tone of dis
gust; "then how do you expect to get a
position as pilot on this river?"
"Well, sir," saiit the Yankee, raising
a pair of keen eyes from his whittling
and meeting hts questioner's stern gaze
with a whimsical smile, "I may not I
know Just where the snags are, but
you can depend upon me for knowin'
L where they ain't, aud that's where I
calculate to do my sallin'."

How the I-aeterai Waa Iaveated.
King Alfred the Great to credited
with originating tha lantern. He was
o bothered by the candle flames blow
ing in tbe wind that he protected them
by putting the candles in cow-borna
which he ordered to he scraped fills.
Our grandfathers made lanterns by
punching holes and silts . in properly
shaped pieces of tin, which were then
soldered together. The light which
came through the little cuts waa al
ways very dim and flickering. It was
this Und or lantern which the old town
watchmen used to carry when they
went about calling tbe noun and the
weather In rhyme:
" 'Tie one o' the dock midnight is past.
Sleep on, good friends, tbe time then bast
For rise ye must at early dawa;

Easier thaa Arithmetic
It is easier to remember things nan-
ally If you know what they mean. A I
tittle boy could never remember even
about how long a etobit is until bis fath
er told him the word waa cubitus Id I
Latin, which means an elbow, and that
the measure called cubit waa the dis
tance from a man's elbow to tbe end ol
bis middle finger.
'And bow much is a fathom?" asked
the little boy.
Oh, fathom comes from the two I
words, fat,' which means In tbe Aryan
language, to extend, and 'horn.' a man
A fathom Is tbe length of a man ex-
tenuea; tnat is, when his arms are I
stretched out on each side from the
shoulders, from tip to tip of bis fingers
Tbe foot is an English word, and
means Just tbe length of tbe foot of a
full-grown man. .
Making: Tandy la a Psnr Pan.
Tbe girls of some of our Eastern col
leges have a novel method of candy-
making which deserves to be knows
outside this magic circle especially as
tiie results are particularly delicious.
They take a sheet of heavy, glazed
writing paper and turn up tbe foui I
edges to a depth of about three-fourths
of an Inch. Into this box -they pour a
cupful of white sugar and a very little
water, and set It on top of the stove.
One would think the paper would burn
but It does not. The sugar boila ur
charmingly and looks tempting enough
u its dainty receptacle.
W hen It Id done a drop or two of fla
voring is added, or Just before taking
from the fire some nut meats are
trewn over its surface. It is then taken
off the stove and set to float In its papei
box lu a bowl or basin of water. Whet I
cold it should be brittle, and then the
paper can be peeled off. and a dainty
square of toothsome candy is tbe re I
ward.
It is great fun to make and will sur
prise your friends if they chance to set
It boiling In Its paper box.
Combat with a Tiaar.
Russian hunters are salt to look upon
n combat siiigle-tutniled witb a bear at
only an ordinary experience. It It
doubtful, however, if many Instance
of a wan attacking a tiger, armed wltl:
a sword only, can be found. Col. Sea
ton, the elephant hunter, however, tells
this story of bravery: '
"One morning. Just as we were leav
ing the parade ground, a man came
rushing up breathless. 'Uet your guns
men.' he exclaimed; there Is a tlgei
in the hollow by the but, and no on
dares go byT In all haste we got out
guns and two elephants and hurried tc
the spot, where in truth a terrible scent
presented Itself. The" tiger, bleedins
from a cut In the head, was on the edgt
of the hollow, growling fiercely, with
man mangieu aud apparently dead ly
ing beneath his paws. Tbe unfortu
nate man was a flue swordsman and
first-rate wrestler one of tbe cham
pions of his regiment. Some people
who went to draw water at the well
had disturbed the tiger, and on his ris
ing they fled In terror. The brave but
rash soldier, who happened to be near
at the inomeut. on learning tbe cause
of tbe commotion, immediately ad
vanced to attack the tiger, and with
his sword gave him a tremendous cut
over the head, which, however, did not
materially Injure the powerful brute.
The tiger rushed at tbe man, stripped
the arm down to the elbow, and, dash
ing him to the ground, held him be
neath his paws. When we came up we
were at first at a loss how to act, for
the man was as much exposed to our
fire as the tiger. However It was not a
time for lengthened consideration we
Bred, and a lucky shot finished the
animal."
Whistling; Not a Bad Habit.
The boy in the following story is
described as never saying anything re
markable, as eating oatmeal In large
quantities, chasing tbe cat. slamming
the door, and otherwise conducting him
self after the manner of boys, with the
exception that be asked few questions
and does much thinking. If be does
not understand a thing he whistles,
which la not a bad habit on some oc
casions. There waa much whistling in our
yard one summer. It seemed to be an
all-summer performance. Near the end
of the season, however, our boy an
nounced the height of our tall maple
to be thirty-three feet '
"Why, how do you know?" waa the
general question.
"Measured It."
"Howr
"Four-foot rule and yardstick."
"Tou didn't climb that tail tree?" his
mother naked anxiously.
"No'm. I just found the length of the
shadow and measured that."
"Bnt the length of the shadow
changea." -
"Yea'm, bnt twice a day the ahadows
are just aa long aa the things them
selves. I've been trying It all summer.
I drove a stick Into the ground aad
when the shadow was Juat aa long aa
the stick I knew that the shadow of
the tree would be Just as long aa tha
tree, and that's thirty-three feet."
"So that la what yon have been whla
tllng about all summer?"
"Did I whistler asked Tom.
