A WRESTLING MATCH By EVERET1 fUOMBLY Copyright by American Pi ess Asso ciation. I have bt't'U a uiau of many xruja tiniis. though 1 have bad More to d with tbe i'it tliau with tin' land. Otii e I was owner of a schooner tbat 1 used fur pearl diviner, my divers te iug uortb African IUhIouuis. My working crouiid was oil the coast of Triolitauia. I 'earl diving 1m a bard life, and only tho-. who are desperate engage 1" It. 'I be boss Is obliged to be very severe wilh bis workmen or tbey will take possession of bim. bis Klii p and everything iu it. J bad one man mimed Ilamed. a little muscular African, black as the ace of spades, who undertook to master me. There was trouble, after wbich I bad bnu arrested and taken Into the town of Tripoli, and be received a full dose A bastinado. It was not long after this tbat ot.e night, the weather being very hot. I preferred to sleep on deck. I put down a mattress, hut i was cooler in a ( hair. All 1 had on was a pair of thin pajamas and low shoes. 1 lay a ! few hours in sleep, awaking about j midnight. The men were asleep he- j low. and I was alone on deck. For j an hour I caught cat naps from time J to time, not losing myself for more than ten minnies at once. At oae of j these intervnls between sleep 1 saw a round black ball on t lie gunwale on j the port bow, I being starboard amid- j ships. Now, to a half nwnke sailormau a ; black ball on the gunwale of bis ship M a curious object, t wondered why It didn't roll along the incline. In- ! titeud of doing so it rose, looking now like the round top of a feucepost, spreading out below Hy this time I was sutliciently awake to realize that the object was a liliu-K head and ; shoulders, blacker for a full moon tbat shone behind It. From this point my faculties came to me like lightning. 1 have often since wondered that what for want of a bet ter name 1 will call an automatic rea soning should have made me prepare for that which 1 had not thought out. Had I taken the steps to lead up to that preparation they would have been as follows: "That is a ltedonin thief, who w ill kill me to enable him to cur ry o!T some trllle." In a twinkling my pajamas were lying on the deck. I standing naked in my shoes. I know tbat the thief would not be Incum bered with clothing, and I must not give him this advantage over me. 1 knew that he hail swum lo the ship; therefore it was not likely lie would have any firearms with him. The struggle would be muscular. I should have cried out and aroused those below. Strange lo say. this did not occur to me us ipilckly as the other points, ami w lien it did I was too late. A black nuked figure Jumped over the gunwale and darted like lightning to ward me. When be leached me the moonlight Hashed on a steel blade with which he struck at me-. I caught bis forearm with niy (1st; but, the arm be ing oiled. It slipped through my clutch to the shoulder. I saved myself from being stabbed by holding my enemy off from me with tny hand under his arm at the shoulder. The man, wrig gling, was liable at any moment to free himself. With tny other hand I grasped Ills throat. It, too, was oiled, but 1 clinched It long enough to make the man drop his knife. At this moment the rascal's face was to the moon, and I recognized Ilamed. He had not come for plunder; ha had come for revenge. My life now de pended on my preventing his getting the knife. I placed myself between him and it and clinched with him. His body was oiled all over, and he slipped through niy arms like an eel and made a lungu for the knife by darting be tween my legs. I caught an nukle and held htm extended to bis full length, his arms stretched and within a few Inches of the knife, lie jerked his nukle so that, oiled as It was, I could not count on holding It lonj; and must do something else to thwart bis purpose. With one hand I made a quick grasp for tils shoulder, then with the other let go tils ankle and grasped the other shoulder, falling on hltn at the same time. Here were two of us renchlng for the knife. 1 slid over his oiled surface and a Item pled to clutch the weapon, but just as I was getting my llngerH on It be seized my wrist and knocked It farther away. 1 had the advantage of blm, holding bltu between me and the deck, lie could not easily slide on the latter having me on his back, but tie was so slippery that I found It dilticult to maintain my position on him. Never- theless he t'eavorcd to wriggle to ward the knife. He gained some tnch es ami was about to grasp It when 1 fcno ked It farther away. I now determined to risk all on ono quick move.. I'uttjng a hand on each i jf bis should rs for leverage. I gave : a tremendous pull, shifting tny h ad and shoulders beyond the glittering blade. Keeling it under my chest. 1 grasped it. and the vic tory was mine. In an Instant my enemy slipped from under my legs, arose and ran like a deer for the ship's side. 1 followed him. but before I reached th.- gun ; wale heard a splash and knew that he i had escaped rue. Not fearing that fie would return. I lay down and sank Into a slumber. 1 sent the Tii;o!ltnn police after the TlJIaln. but they did not fnd him. j Flattery.

Lux It Said to Be Indestructible, but It It Hard to Locate. Much scholarship and anatomical knowledge have been emplojed from time to time in efforts to identify the bone lux, said by ancient Hebrew writers to be the nucleus from wbich tin body is reconstructed at the resur rection. There are many marvelous stories of the indestructibility ot iu., ind the bone has been located by rival claimants to the honor of discovering It In various parts of the human skele ton. The most careful searching of the last published and amplest treatise on oste ology will not result In the discovery of the bone called In. It will he nec essary to go lo I lie Kraukfort edition of the "Theatruni Anntomlcum" of Caspar P.auhimis (Ki'Jli for a descrip tion: "It Is stated by Hebrew writers to be a hone which cannot he destroy ed by tire, water or nny other element, uor be broken or bruised by any force Its site is In the spine from the eight eenth vertebra lo the femur "We read that the lCniperor Hadrian once asked Kubbi Joshua, the son of Chauiu, how (Jod would resurrect man In the world to come. He made answer, Trom ihe bone luz in the spinal column.' When Hadrian nsked bl in how he came by this knowledge and how he could prove It the Itahbt Joshua produced the bone so that the emperor could see It When placed in water It could not be softeued; It was not destroyed by tire, nor could It be ground by atiy weight; when placed on an anvil and struck with a hammer the anvil was broken In sunder, but the bone remained Intact." Hlerouyinus Maglus represents that, according to the Taluiudlsts, the real bone Is near the base of the skull, whether It be In the base itself or In the spine. Vesailus writes that this ossicle Is described by the Arabs as resembling a chick pea in size and shape, and Cornelius Agrlppa describes it as "magnltudlne ciceris mundatl" (the size of a shelled peiu. Different anatomists have held It variously to be the sacrum, the coccyx, the twelfth dorsal vertebra, one of the Wormian bom's In the skull and one of the sesamoids ot the great toe. Londou Lancet.
