In marching order the professor
Irresented a complex appearance. A
.greenish veil hung from the rim of
his swollen and spotless helmet to his
houlders, which were clad In a coat
pitted with an extraordinary number
tpf pockets. On the lower half of his
person he wore tweed knickerbockers
and cloth puttees with white spats.
'A minnow net and a camp-stool with
w pneumatic seat were bound upon his
back, and in his hands he carried a
heat of rods and a repeating rifle.
By his side young Boiling, with a
fclt of shark-line round his waist to
keep his shirt down and his trousers
up, and with plenty of tanned skin
visible, seemed a figure of barbarism,
but the contrast was only external.
The Boston professor and the brown
Florldlan were pupils at the same
school, and youth knew at first hand
aome of the wondeful facts that age
bad met only in text-hooks.
The professor had come to study
marine animals, and when he met
Boiling on the beach and talked with
him, he beamed upon the tall, lithe
boy whose eye was as keen as a
heron's, and offered him three dollars
ft day for his services. Five dollars
- would not have been enough to banish
the repugnance Boiling felt at first
lght of the knickerbockers and spats,
but when be foun out the sort of
man the professor really was, he sur
rendered to him completely.
Those were pleasant days. They
explored reef .and shore and pot-hole,
mnd gave, each other of their own
knowledge and learned new lessons
together. One day they dropped an
chor on a shoal between two man
grove points, where the yellow glint
of sand quivered up through the
water. It was warm there and pro
tected, and many smaller species, of
flsh swam busily about in its com
parative quiet. It was good collecting-ground.
The professor, with eyes
snapping behind the green veil,
dropped a close-meshed seine over the
tde and began to draw it through
the water at the end of a long bamboo
rod.
Perhaps the light disturbance of its
passage was the attraction. At any
rate, he had made but two or three
Attempts when a broad under-water
hadow drew down upon the launch
and paused below the next, which the
professor in his curiosity held mo
tionless. "What Is that?" he asked, and
pointed.
Belling looked over the gunwale
with no more than idle interest.
"What did you see? Where?" he
aid. The shadow stirred at the mo
ment, became more distinct and
opaque, and the professor gazed down
with startled eyes at the rising bulk
of the most repulsive flsh he had ever
een.
"It's the devil!" exclaimed Boiling,
stepping hack from the gunwale.
The professor had lost his ruddy
color.
"Mania blrostrls!" he breathed.
He caught Boiling by the sleeve.
"What are those big spots? What
they're eyes! Look at them!"
The gigantic ray rose until a scant
Blm of water protected it back, and
peered upward with cold eyes set
shallow and wide apart. For a mo
ment It lay there, undulating like a
ail in light air; then with a supple
folding of its huge pancake body, it
curved downward and became a
shadow again, that drifted over the
wavering yellow bottom and disap
peared. . The professor drew a long and sat
isfied breath,, and looked up at the
sun, then across the topas-hued
water.
"Nature is wonderful!" he said,
gently. "We must get that fellow." I
"Get the devil-fish!" cried Boiling.
"Certainly," said the professor.
"I've seen pictures and read descrip
tions, but " He waved the memory
C them aside contemptuously. "Jim,
I never, imagined anything like that
since I Teas a small boy afraid of the
lark'. Look bere."
He held out bis band, and bis fin
gers danced like the prongs of a tun-tag-fork.
"Urn! Tou-all are scared," said
Boiling, appreciatively.
"Interested, Jim! Excited!" cried
the professor. "I don't know whether
I'm afraid or not. It's Immaterial.
A ray twenty feet across! I must get
that .fish, dissect bim, know every inch
of bis monstrous body before I do
anything else. Will you help me?"
Boiling's eyes suddenly glowed.
- "Sure I'll help you! You're game,
all right, professor. This shoal would
t a heap nicer it we beached that old
' sterll somewhere. "
The ray, apparently so open In Its
snovements, proved a difficult quarry.
It seemed to have none of the activity,
the daring Impetuosity of the game
abbes. - Boiling and the professor,
sjaartertag back aud forth across the
shoal, with the engine down to the
luieteat notch, saw nothin ilti to

upon the bottom, lay the devil-fish.
and doubtless, with more or less regu
larity, it moved about In the search
for food, but the occupants of the
launch failed to detect Its presence.
Day after" day went by. The pro
fessor's face grew longer behind the
green veil. His time was limited, and
In this paradise for collectors there
was much that he was neglecting.
Every slow crane croaking over
head, every necklace of drops flung
up by a leaping flsh, every prolific
patch of sea vegetation roused im
pulses that he had to quell. The
devotees of science must be dogged.
"There is so much, so much!"
sighed the professor. "Jim, boy, I
envy you all this. What a field to
work in!"
Boiling yawned. Ho wao lolling
In the stern, his fingers clutching a
cord, on the farther end of which a
mullet was fastened. It seemed such
fruitless business.
"We ain't doing much now, sir,"
he said, lazily. "I reckon that old

his left fin close to shore, so's he can
kind of feel where he Is. No trunk

Is It that the styles In titled foreigners are changing?
At all events, where formerly the dukes and counts purchased
by our girls were candidly bankrupt, this season's Importa
tions have been especially quoted as enormously wealthy In
their own right.
But all the while It Is to be observed that love is to-day,
as it was yesterday, the sole actuating motive. And the man
who, whether he needs the money or not, can manage never
to fall in love with any but a rich girl, discovers breeding.
It Is the accumulated restraint ot generations, flowering in
superlative gentility. Ramsey Benson, in Die.
opaque, as It struck by a slant ot
wind. But there was no wind and
the surface was glassy.
Very quietly Boiling leaned for
ward and stopped the engine. The
dusky patch darkened, grew sharp in
outline, and then the devil lay awash
upon the surface, staring at the
launch. Its huge, wing-like append
ages stretched beyond both bow and
stern.
"Give it to him!" said Boiling, id
a shrill whisper, and rose, harpoon in
hand.
It was impossible to miss so big a
mark. The lance struck the fleshy
back, and sank as if into blue mud.
The professor, with his feet wide
apart, rattled out a couple of shots
from the magazine rifle.
The ray struck out with one great
wing and then with the other, lash
ing the water white and throwing
spray clear over the launch. Before
the eddies had smoothed It was gone.
The next moment it shot up ahead,
broad as a sail, the harpoon-line
streaming behind It. As it bung for
a second, flapping, the professor fired
again.
"Look out for a rush!" cried Boil
ing, and reversed the engine.
The ray fell' back with a resound
ing slap, and instantly the line leaped
over the bow. The professor hardly
had time to brace himself before the
shock came. The line snapped taut,
and the launch, in spite ot her re
versed engine, sprang forward, two
sheets of water flaring from her de
pressed nose.
"He'll tear the bow out of her!"
bawled Boiling. "She won't stand it,
sir." -
The. professor, soaked with flying
brine, roared back at him:
"1 11 buy you a new one! Sit tight
there, Jim!"
It was smooth In the 'shallow cove,
and fortunately the great ray did not
try to Lead toward the sja. In rough
water the launch must have filled or
capsized in that terrific rush.
The devil-fish drove straight for the
mangrove' point, as it to hurl itself
upon the sedgy flat a half-mile in
thirty seconds. And then, as sudden
ly as it bad bolted, the line fell slack.
The launch, half-full ot water, stead
ied to the kick of Its propeller. Boil
ing stopped the engine, and she lay
drifting and spent. -
The professor shook himself and
peered cautiously about.
"I don't like this," be said. "Where
is he?"
"I'm glad we're near shore," said
Boiling. '
The bottom here was muddy and
the water opaque. They could not
see below the surface. The line hung
over the bow limp and motionless. A
heron rose from the sedge and flapped
away, tralliog IU long legs. A drum-
fish boomed solemnly; but the giant 1
ray gave no slgn
The professor moved uneasily.
"Tbere'B plenty of horse-power left
in that brute yet. This waiting's un
pleasant." "Look at the line," said Boiling,
soft'y.
It was moving, almost as it caught
by some quiet current. It ran out
very slowly from the bow, then swung
to starboard and pased astern, length
ening toot by foot. It was so gentle,
so unlike the former evidences of the
huge fish's power, that it chilled the
nerves of the watchers. It seemed as
If the creature were meditating some
crafty plan and working it out with
human cunning.
The professor Jfollowed the moving
line with the muzzle ef his rifle.
"I think I hit him that last time,
he said. "Big as he is, I don't see
how he can digest three of these
long bullets. They'll rip their way
through a foot of solid oak."
"Here ie comes! Look!" Boiling
pointed with a shaking finger.
The line had swung back abeam
and slackened. Bloody bubbles were
rising and cracking on the surface,
and the water itself seemed arching
upward with the quick rise of the
huge bulk.
But when the ray appeared, It
backed off and began to circle the
launch, rasping the tightened line
along the gunwale.
"Cut away, Jim," said the pro
fessor. "It that line catches on any
thing, he'll upset us In a minute."
Boiling severed the line with his
clasp-knife, but the ray continued to
circle.. Round and round the launch
It swam, like a tiger creeping upon
Its prey. Four times the professor
fired at it, and the vicious spat of the
bullets told that he bad not missed.
"Toss me that box," he said. "I
think that beast means to rush us."
He tore open the fresh box ot
cartridges, and hastily filled the mag
azine. "I reckon we'd better run for it,"
said Boiling, with a white face, and
opened the engine to her highest
speed.
The launch surged forward, head
ing for the near line of sedge. At the
moment the ray was astern, moving
very quietly; but as It heard the
swash ot the propeller, and caught its
9
meaning, its tactics changed.. It shot
forward with tremendous rapidity,
passing the boat as if It were anch
ored. Then it wheeled with an up-
toss of water, and seemed to gather
Itself for a rush.
. Boiling threw over the tiller, but
before the sluggish launch could turn,
the ray was upon them. Charging
furiously, it sprang clear ot the water,
outspread like a gigantic bat, its enor
mous mouth distended and Its two
great fleshy fins flapping. As Boiling
and the professor sprang overboard,
the ray tell upon the launch, smoth
ering it and beating Its broken tim
bers under water.
Boiling bad taken a long dive over
the side. When he came to the sur
face there was no trace ot launch or
devil-fish, except the violent agitation
ot the water. But the professor's
head was visible, minus hat and
glasses, and it nodded at him. With'
out a word the two turned and swam
In toward the sedge close by, and
crawled, dripping, among its crack'
ling stemB.
The professor wrung himself out
sadly.
"What a pity he got away from
us! "he said.
"Why, I reckon we got away from
him!" Boiling's tone was rueful as
he stared at the spot where the
launch had been.
"Perhaps you're right, Jim," said
the professor. "I suppose we ought
to be thankful. You'll get another
boat, and I've got material for

England's Domestic Upheaval
By SYDNEY BROOKS.
Half of the householders in Great
Britain are in a panic, and all of them
are frantically insuring themselves
against 'liabilities ot whleh they
know nothing except that they are
bound to be bothersome and may be
overwhelming. The cause of their
precipitate anxiety is an Act of Par
liament that came into force on July
1. The title of the act looks harmless
enough. It is called the Workmen's
Compensation Act. We have had
many such acts before and they have
not disturbed the pease of the Eng
lish fireside. But this one is both
more stringent in its provisions and
far wider In its scope than any of its
predecessors. When 1 say that for
the fh-st time in the history of British
Industry It makes householders le
gally and financially responsible for
any accidents that may befall the
domestic servants they employ I have
said enough to account for the na
tional alarm. It is not often that
legislation touches the home, or that
the averay.e man, still less the ser
vant woman, is affected in any vital
and personal interest by what Par
liaments may do or undo. The prin
ciple of employers' liability Is an old
and familiar one. But hitherto It
has scarcely ever made itself felt
outside the spheres ot business and
Industry. A man could forget all
about It when he reached home, and
as for women, there was virtually no
occasion for them even to think of
It. All that Is changed by this act.
Every one who employs a servant
is now doomed to study the beauty
ot employers' liability In his own
household, and will count himself
lucky if his experience of how it
works does not make vast inroads
on his balance at the bank. And
what applies to men applies equally
to women. The mistress ot the
household suddenly finds her respon
sibilities incredibly enlarged. Hither
to they have revolved mainly round
the problems of food, furniture and
feminine "help." Food and furni
ture will continue to make their ap
peal In the future as. In the past, but
from now onwards the servant ques
tion Is enormously complicated and
expanded. Not only has the mistress
ot the household to find servants,
engage them and keep them, but to
be prepared at any moment to find
herself liable for any accidents they
may meet with In the course of their
employment. That Is something ab
solutely revolutionary. No act, ln
deed. In my time has affected any'
thing like so huge a proportion of
the people of. this kingdom as this
act promises to or has affected them
so intimately and unescapably and
with such Impartial comprehensive'
ness.
Naturally for months past every
householder In Great Britain has
been making a wild rush for cover.
The insurance companies have never
done such bustnesV Whether it will
prove to be profitable business no
one as yet can say with any certainty.
There are very few data to go upon.
No statistics that I am aware of have
ever been compiled of the number of
accidents that annually occur In do
mestic service. The insurance com'
panles In fixing other premiums are
frankly plunging into the dark
Everything about the act Is for the
present hidden in obscurity. You
will hear a dozen different opinions
of what Its clauses mean, of the
effects they are likely to produce,
and of the classes of labor that come
or do not come within their scope.
Some people think that when the peo
ple realize by conctete experience the
results of the act they will rise in
great wrath and sweep the govern
.ment that passed It from power.
