NffiOKK APRIL 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 where the hunting battalions used to OPENS IN THE WELCH BUILDING JUNE 4,1906.

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.
