Simpson, residing here, is preparing to ship a carload o f ringneck pheasants to the gam e w ar den o f Idaho, the birds to be used for breeding purposes. Simpson is said to be the only man in Am erica who could fill such a large order fo r the much prized game bird. Mr. Simson embarked in this in-, dustry last year. A person unac quainted with the increase o f this feathered fam ily would say that he had m et w ith fa ir ly good success fo r an amateur, but the gentleman declares he has learned some tricks which w ill m aterially aid him in the future. T o commence with, Mr. Simpson had 212 hens and five roosters. A t this tim e he has over 200 young ones, rang ing in size from three days old to half grown birds o f this season’s rearing, and the hens are still laying. W h ite bantan hens are used for hatch ing purposes, they having been found to be more careful and painstaking with the young than the other o f the feathered tribe by Mr. Simpson. Experience has taught that hens o f larger breed are apt to become restless and move about on the nest more than the bantam, thus causing the death o f many o f the young im m ediately a fte r leavin g the shell. Mr. Simpson is raising tw o kinds o f pheasants— the ringneck and the gold en, the latter being from the northern part o f China. e ^ A ^ ^ T Alastair H O LLAN D Author of “ The Count » t Harvard,’* ate.

"W e hid the box in the ground bark in the woods, between two roots of a hemlock, one pointing south by the compass, the other west. The hemlock is ten paces west of a scarred 8r that was stripped of its sea branches by lightning." “ I know the tree,’’ said I. Rodney rubbed his hands joyfully. "Y e gods and little fishes, think of I t ! Ever since I was a boy I've wanted to have my hand In a buried treasure. We used to hide tin cans in the back yard, just to dig them up again. And now to think thut I ’ve come across a real treasure! What would those other boys say !” “ Here's one of them now,” I put in. " I used to do the very same thing myself.” Duponceau was smiling ngsir,. "You can both take It lightly,” he aaid, “ be cause you do not know. Many men, aye, many governments, would give almost anything for a chance at that box out there.’’ “ Better and better. The higher the Interest, the more sport for us,” said Rodney. " I ’ ve always wanted to be mixed up In an International affray. I ’m more than ever glad I decided to come to the Penguin, for more reasons than one;” and he looked across slyly at me. I could not help liking him. even if be was in love with Barl>ara; he was so open and frank about everythring. After a time Duponceau went below for a two hours’ nap, and Islip and I sat on deck, smoking and chatting. About midnight the air grew colder, and we walked to warm ourselves. “ Do you think,” said Rodney, finally, "that we might go on a hunt for that tree? My eyes are fairly Itching to fol low that trail, and we might reconnoitre We the enemy’s position you know. could make tracks back to the Ship If there was any need." “ Walt till Duponceau comes up, and we’ll ask him,” I suggested. In time, at the end of his midnight nap, Duponceau came on deck, ami gave us permission to take a survey of the shore. " I f I need you," he said, " I ’ll make the call of the osprey— listen ;" and he sent forth a long, quavering cry that was echoed back to us, from cliff and beach. Armed with revolvers, Rodney and I slipped out of the Ship, forded the lake, and, keeping as cloae as we could to th« rocks, for the night was bright with stars, headed towards the pines. We said not a word, but tip-toe, I lead ing. he following, we skirted the woods until we came to the scarred fir. There I turned to look back; the beach lay a bright silver field sloping to the sea, which rippled like quicksilver beneath th« stars. The beauh was empty as rfie des ert. and still, save for the lapping waves. “ Ten paces to the east,” whispered Rodney, and, with Infinite caution, w« tiptoed through the pines. The trees are very thick there; we felt as if ploughing into an unknown screen. W e came to the hemlock, and crouched on the sea sids of it, some instinct telling us that thers was need of caution. On hands aud knees I crawled a foot farther, and beheld a white tent. Its guide-ropes running to the hemlock’s roots. Islip pulled himself up beside me. (T o be continued.)

It was of the firat importance that j “ You will either go with us, miss, or he Monsieur Duponceau should keep himself gives us a chance to search that boat.” I could scarcely keep Duponceau well hid, and to thi» end he spent his days in the cabin of the Ship, coming out only crouching longer; I could feel that his when night had fallen, and then most cir fingers were itching for one of his re cumspectly.
