Sunlight is always more or
less bright, differing in that
respect from a number of humor
ous wri’ers.
However, It was bright sun
light, anyway.
A shot rang out.
(We headed thin chapter, "Tha
Shot in the Dark” because that
sounds better; more mysterious,
so to speak. A shot in the sun
light is just as dangerous and
more likely to land the person at
whom it is fired, but in these rol
licking stories of adventure we
must have our duels in the
dark.)
Immediately after the shot
rang out, as we have told, a shrill
scream rent the silence.
(We don't know how much a
month the silence rents for, but
it's worth a lot of money.)
Immediately after the shrill
scream h•- rented the silence, a
dull thud, as of a fa Ming body,
was heard.

over, while we write
His Preference.
A certain island in the West Indies
is liable to the periodical advent of
earthquakes. One year Itofore the
season of these terrestrial disturb
ances, Mr. X.. who livpd in the danger
zone, sent hts two sons to the home
of a brother in England, to secure
them from the impending havoc.
Evidently the quiet of the staid
English household was disturbed by
the two young West Indians, for the
returning mail steamer carried a mes
sage to Mr. X., brief but emphatic:
"Here are your boys; send me the
earthquake.”
