ANNOUNCEMENT
The circle. widens, deploys, forms a
cordon around the outermost rim of the
kelp fields.
Suddenly a black object Is seen float
ing on the silver surface of the waters
—n sea otter asleep! Quick as a flash
the steersman lifts his paddle. Not a
word Is spoken, but so keen Is the bear
ing of the sleeping otter the drip of the
lifted paddle has not splashed; into the
sea before the otter has awakened,
ldoked, dived like lightning to the bot
tom ere one of the Aleut hunters can
hurl his spear. Silently, not a whisper,
the steersman signals again. The 1
hunters deploy tu a circle half a mile
broad around the place whero the sea
otter disappeared, for they kuow that
in fifteen or twenty minutes the animal
must come up for breath, and It can
not swim farther than half a mile un
der sea before It reappears.
Suddenly somebody sees a round
black-red head poke above the water,
perhaps, close to the line of watchers.
With a wild shout the nearest bidarkas
dart forward. Whether the spear
throw has hit or missed the shout has
done enough. The terrified.otter dives
before It lias breath. Over the second
diving spot a hunter Is stationed, and
the circle narrows, for the otter must
come up quloker this time. It must
have breath. Again and again the lit
tle round rufous head peeps up. Again
the shout greets It! Again the light
ning dive! Sometimes only a bubble
gurgling at the top of the water guides
the watchers. Presently the body Is so
full of gases from suppressed breath
ing It can no longer sink: and a quick
spear throw secures the quarry.
Perhaps forty men have risked their
lives for a single pelt for which the
trader cannot pity more than $40, for
he must have his profit, and r the 1 skin
must be dtessed, and -the middlemen
must have their profit, so that If It sells
even for. $1,100,in' London, though, the
average Is nearer $150, the Aleut Is
lucky to receive $40. or $50. Day after
day three months at a time, warm or
cold, not daring 1 to light fires on the Is
land, the Aleut hunters go out to the
spearing surround' till the'schooner re
turns for them from-tha main post, and
whether the hunt Is harder op man or
beast ipay, be judged from the, fact that

The four old captains of Salt Marsh
after carefully studying the attractions
offered by the mind reader who was to
hold forth In the town- hall decided to

“We can go right from the postoffice
when mail’s In;” said Captain Gregg,
most, adventurous of the four, “and
there doesn’t seem to be any need to
consult our women folks, so far as I
know. Most likely we shan’t stay
more’n a few minutes.”
They were all agreed as to the ad
visability of this plan, and the next
evening saw them seated In the last
row, with interest written on their
faces.
After a few prellmlfiary.exhtbitlons,
which caused the scattered-audlence to
gasp and wriggle, the mind reader said
In a solemn tobe;
“There to one person In this audience
who has been thinking ever since he
’came In [ here of a person who is per
haps the strongest 1 Influence In his life
—a small, determined looking woman,
with eyes that snap and"—
At this point the four old captains
rose as If moved by a single spring and
filed from the hall. When they reached
the safety of the steps Captain Gregg
turned to the others' and spoke In a
hoarse whisper;
“Which one of us do you suppose he
meant?”—Youth’s Companion.

ansvllle, Ind., writes: “For over five
years I was troubled with kidney and.
bladder affections which caused me
much pain and worry. I lost flesh and
was all run down, and a year ago had
to abandon work entirely. I had three
of the best physicians, who did me no
good, and I was practically given up
to die. Foley’s Kidney Cure was rec
ommended and the flrut bottle gave
me great relief, and after taking the
second bottle I was entirely cured.”
