BOIDERO'S END
HELEN reached her mistress'
cabin and there, In the rack
where It bad restod erer sine the
beginning or the royage. was her
awn little red suitcase which the
ealloue human thlnite In their groie
anthlnklng selfishness bad left be
hind. Ivy and Bower bad no more thas
reached the bead ol the cabin atalr
than Helen, suitcase In band and
creaming now not with rage but
wtb triumph, and wet to the eliln.

A moment more and abe was In
ber mistress' arms, eultcaso and all.
ana telling everybody all ebout
everything,
Tbo diversion wa fortunate. A
heavy cargo-batch. Immediately on
poelte the moored raft, had yielded
at last to the terrible pressure of air
anxiety and self-reproach. To be ad
vantageously cast away, one should
bavo several days lo wblcb to pre
pare. Id a burrtod aoatchlng up ol
whatever may or may not be useful,
many things go overlooked.
The shipwrecked couple bad tea
and coffee. Tbey bad a variety oi
canned meata, vegetables and aoupi,
Tbey bad some tins of olsculta. Tbey
bad a bag of sugar and a bag of salt,
matches and a flre-ai, some changes
of clothes.
Bowers bad tbe wherewithal to
keep himself cleanly shaved for f
number of months. Ivy bad om
face powder and a quarter-slick ol
rouge. It pleased Bowers to think
tbat he bad brought off his guns wltb
plenty of ammunition He waa glad
tbat his pocket-knife was not a toy.
But he dreaded tbe moment when
Ivy should say tbat aba was thirsty
and be would have to confess that
be had not thought to bring water)
Suppose tbey reached the volcanic
laland toward wblcb tbey were bead
ed and found no water 7 This waa not
likely, but was within tbe possibili
ties. He became unduly despondent,
and then be remembered that then
were aure to be coconut palms, naS
this tbougbt cheered hlra.
THE! coconut ta not an occasional
crop. Upon every tree lo full
bearing there are at all times rniti
The Boldnro went down by the head,
and buret wltb a sound Ilko tbe eg.
plosion of dynamite. Anyone In the
vicinity of the flying fragmenta and
splinters might have been most seri
ously hurt,
Tbe Boldero, arrested In her sink
ing, now began to make np for lost
time. From tbe ship to the raft was
bow oo more than a big step. Ivy, en
cumbered by Helen, did not even
aeed a helping band.
Tbey cast loose, and tor a time,
not wlahlng to be anywbere near tbe
Boldero when she made her final
plunge, Bowers paddled frantically
wltb the blade halt of a broken oar
He made ble odlng and the breeze,
etrong enougb at moments to ruffle
the surface of tbe aea. caught them
and had soon carried them beyond
any possible reach of suction.
Bowers, bis back to the Boldero,
ataered for the volcano But Ivy kept
Dim posted. Presently she said:
"You bad better look now, If you
want 10 aee tbe lasl of ber."
Tbe Boldoro was going down by
the head and the end came very sud
dan ly.
Tbe ship's stern rose until the pro
peller showed balf dear of tbe sea.
and the bows sank until the for
castle-bead would never be anything
to anyone but a memory of a great
happiness.
Thereafter tbe Boldero seemed
rather to molt away Into nothing
than to sink.
y ITH the Boldoro afloat, It would
' ' have been ,asy enougb to est!
mat the prosrese ol the raft, but
with nothing upon wbkb to trlnugu
late vision. It seemed as If the raft
were standing still.
Tbo volcano on TIroi Island had
almost dlsannenred In the brightness
of the young day It was scurclmig
hot and tbe breeze waa more a hope
than a fact. Tbo esi'npcd menagerie,
ear, horn, tooth and talon had van
lihed completely, and Mowers' occa
sional effort to prnpol the raft with
the broken oar did not meet with
any great success. It seemed as It
the raft were ambitious to spin like
a lop.
Although Bowers showed a cheer
ful face he was up to the ears In
In all stages or development, frorj
flower to aeed. Each nut stays upon
the tree for twelve or thirteen
montba, and the half-developed
green nuts contain a water which Is
sweeter and more refreshing than
the real thing, ind which may be
drunk, In substitution, for all
months or more.
Ivy said she was thirsty and Bow
era mad bis confession.
"There was plenty of time," he
aid, "to tblnk about everything,
but I lust didn't, and all I can do Is
to be ashamed and sorry."
"Why Isn't It lust as much my
fault as It Is yours!" aald Ivy. And
of course It waa, but tbe man would
not admit IL
"I am afraid," be said, "that we
shall be mightily uncomfortable and
dry before we et ashore."
"How do you know," she asked,
"that we'll find water when we do
get there?" ,
"There will be coconuts," he aald.
"There lan't any newly made land In
this pnrt of the world and all tbe
old land grows coconuts. The nuts
are washed overboard and drift all
over the world, and wherever tbey
are washed ashore Into suitable con
ditions of soli and climate they
sprout and befriend man.
"But I brought along a chart. Let's
hare a look at that, and maybe we
can find out something about the
place we're beading for"
He had folded the chart twice and
weighted it wltb a gun-case He now
unfolded It. and bad presently lo
cated the one sinnll body of land
which had upon It an oceanngrapb
er a symbolUatlon of y active vol
cano. "This must be It," he said "No
wonder Big Bon and Lurllne made
for It."
"1 wonder why It la railed Tiger
Island?" asked Ivy.
"For some reason, you may be
sure, that has nothing to do wtib
tigers May tie from Its shape See
It hss four distinct leg and a head
Maybe somebody thinks It look'
like a tiger."

PHOENIX, ArlE., Sept. 31 (API
Dynamite shattered the quiet the
Salt River valley had enjoyed, since
white farmers recently withdrew their
demand that Japanese and Hindus
evacuate their lands.
Three bombs were hurled on Japa
nese farms early yesterday. Twenty
acres of farmland were Inundated
when one explosion tore out an Irri
gation dam. The home m R. Sugino
was slightly damaged In another
blast. In all three cases of dynamite
were set off In Irrigation ditches near
the homes of Japanese farmers.
No one was Injured but the Rev.
Junro A. Kashltanl, Japanese leader,
demanded protection of "life and
property of Japanese" In the valley,
antl-ortental agitation has "gone too
far," he said, In protesting to Consul
Oeneral Tonokazs Hort In Los An
geles. "I am relying entirely upon the
good faith and Justice of the Ameri
can people and on aovernor Moeur
of Arizona to see that the Japanese
In the Salt River valley are treated
fairly," the consul general declared in
announcing he had made no protest
to Washington or Tokyo.
"I am sure that the Arlsona officers
will see that Justice Is given the
Japanese farmers and that persons
J guilty of acta of violence In this
1 trouble will be punished."
