No sooner was his | helmet removed than the Greek’s face was convulsed with anger. “My sponge bank!” he shouted. “Somebody has been fishing there, by There had been bad blood for a long time between Antonio and Giorgios. At first they had been partners in their sponge-fishing boat off the east coast of Florida, but they had quar- reled over pretty Maria Ephousis, and severed partnership. Maria had en- couraged neither big Giorgios nor little Antonio, and that made matters worse, if anything. The men had sep- arate boats now, and often met on the fishermen’s unwritten law that, once a bank is discovered, it belongs to the discoverer, but without success. Gior- gios believed that Maria preferred An- tonio, and he was resolved to have his revenge, “If I catch him—Ilook out!” he mut: tered, and that evening in the little town, passing Antonio, he Ilurched heavily against him and awaited his enemy’s onslaught with a scowl. But Antonio had no mind to take up Giof- gios’ quarrel He eluded him with a laugh, and went his way. From that day Giorgios saw in ev- ery accident a conspiracy on the part of Antonio. If the sponge fishing was bad Antonio had anticipated him. If the gear went wrong Antonio had tam- pered with it. A S B MO N 56 L85 ST him. The single blow had done its work. And suddenly horror came |over the murderer. | the memories of their years together came back to him. They had been boys in Greece, they had sailed for America on the same boat, they lls\d | been partners and friends until Maria, with her dark hair and laughing eyes, came between them. Giorgios ha_d ! 5even cherished a secret hope in his | heart that some day their friendship would be renewed. And now—this was the end. And Maria?

Then the helmet was re- moved, and the fresh airs beat upon his hot forehead. He looked around for Antonio’s boat. It was nowhere to be seen. But from the edge of the boat a second line was hanging. Giorgios, amazed and terri- fied, pulled at it. Up through the blue water came the body of the man he had slain, the knife still sticking between his ribs. then caught the boys in his arms. “Ah, you little rascals, to play such a trick upon a poor fisherman!” he said, and the tears gushed from hie eyes. “Yes, it was my idea,” replied Kra- tillis proudly. “There was a man in Athens had an enemy, and everybody knew he would kill him. So what did they do but put a tailor’'s dummy in his sweetheart’s closet. Yes, and he stabbed him and was sorry, and then came to his senses. Yes, and so with horses when they kick their stalls to pieces—we give them clapboard stalls, and they destroy them and are ap- peased. Now you will not want to kill Antonio again.” “By gar!” shouted Giorgios, “come, (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. C*1pman.)

But I catch him,” snorted Giorglos. “And when I do—" He thrust his knife upward. He put on his helmet and weighted shoes and descended over the side. Down he went, down through several fathoms of blue water, till he stood upon his feet among the sponges and strange coral growths at the bottom of the sea. To his delight he saw that the sponges here were unusually fine. Slowly—for his weighted shoes make progress slow—he moved from bank to bank, cutting at the sponges and thrusting them into the net which he wore strapped to his diving suit. All at once he stopped short. There, some ten paces distant, to his amaze- ment, he saw the figure of a man fixed cables upheld by iron pillars or towers of lattice work, some of which will have to be 100 feet high,” says Mr. Baker. “There will be separate sec- tions every five miles and separate cables, of course, for outgoing and in- coming freight, which will be about 1% inches each. From these cables steel cars will be guspended and con- veyed, about 30 to every mile, and holding 375 to 450 pounds each of freight. These cars will be carried over great gorges and precipitous hills, and in some instances there will be a lsheer drop underneath them of 1,200 | feet. “The transfer of cars from section to section will be automatically accom- plished by revolving drums, which will effect release of the cars and their renewed gripping to the hauling ropes of the next section. On account of the difficulty of expansion and con- traction from heat and cold, the cables will be equipped with a complicated system of springs anchored with tre- mendous weights to ma them of the same length all the year round. The cableway will follow the gorge of the Jhelum river most of the way, which it will frequently cross and recross, accordingly as the spans can be most conveniently constructed and the towers be located where there can be safety against slipping and dangers from falling boulders. “At present the chief means of com- | munication in ‘and out of Kashmir is | bending over the sponge bank, Giorgios ‘stared, and then his hands twitched convulsively. It was his en- emy, Here, in the depths of the ocean, where no man could intervene, An- tonio had deliberately challenged him to battle. No doubt his boat rested above; it must have come up while he was below, and Kratillis and his com- | panion had not had courage to drive Antonio’s vessel away, or to signal to Giorgios by hauling upon the line. Giorgios crept toward Antonio. The latter apparently remained indifferent | to the death that was immiment—or perhaps he was crouching to attack. The heavy glass of the helmet and the depth of the water did not make it easy to discern what Antonio was planning. But Giorgios did not care. His enemy had challenged him, and a ferocious joy filled his heart. Giorgios made his way cautiously toward him, half hidden behind the clustering sponges—then he sprang at him and drove his knife into Antonio’s body to the hilt. The other collapsed and lay motionless upon the oozy bottom of the sea. Giorgios bent over by read about 200 miles long between | the city of Rawalpindi in northern ‘lPuujab and Srinagar, the capital of | Kashmir. This road over the moun- | tains is one of the most remarkable | in the world on account of the engi-! | neering difficulties which it presented, | being cut much of the way round huge | | precipices, sometimes through solid | i ock, and frequently being 0\'erhuugi | by huge masses of conglomerate soili | containing great boulders always liable to fall whenever rain starts to | wash them out.” Monkey Aids Naturalist. A new use for monkeys has been discovered by an ingenious citizen of somersworth, N. H.,, Michael J. Stan- ton by name, but known to his inti- mates as Skeets. Mr. Stanton is a professional bug hunter, and he late- ly conceived the brilliant idea that a monkey could be taught to go up trees | and pick off the browntail moth nests, The monkey is now a member of the Skeets’ establishment, and is reported by his owner as making good prog- 7ess in his new vocation.—Boston Post. : EERETTITR.
