Leaving about the battered duns,
Words for the aun and vend to read
Over the beach. washed clear and wide
Huns the line of the nacre shell;
And the sand-crab, unlocked by the

Scrawls by his hollow citadeL
Back of the tide, for the wind to scan
Where ebbing shallow wave* retreat.
The twinkling toes of the piped ran
Leaving starry marks of feet.
And written warm, as the waves re

On the grassy dune—for wind to

For another tide to wash away.

guarding it by a double code

Even they must be in possession
of the code word.
If this reaches you by the
grace of htaven. the code word
and your instructions will also
come, but separately.
Captain Noah Barrows, whom
I trust completely, will decipher
this for you and help you in

We did yesterday, by concerted
action, storm a heathen temple,
high In a peak of this Island,
and after a fierce fight, subdue
the savages and carry away as
prize a huge black pearl, of the
alee of my glass eye. in place of
which I am now wearing it In
my head for safe keeping.
This Jewel, the fame of which
to known throughout this Island
world, la of very great worth,
and supposed to be the rarest
find ever made In these waters,
which are famous for their
pearls. So rare was it that It was
*a part of the adornment of the
principal Idol of these heathen.
In thla fierce battle, half of
my loyal crew were slain, and
we had Just regained the ship
and raised anchor to ~et Mil
when we were fallen on bye
fleet of warlike savages In great
canoes. Numbers were against

The savages succeeded In scut
tling the ship from the stern,
where we could not get at them
to drive them off. forcing us to
abandon ship. We were unable
to take with us the fortune in
pearls Into wbteh the cargo had
been converted by trade with the
heathen, because of e sharp star
board list, which threw the ship’s
strongbox against the bulkhead
of the after '•abln. Key side In.
This fortune sank with the ship.

Here are your final instruc

Ansel’s guess was right There
Is an Inner passage cut through
the stone heart of the mountain
from the temple here to the cove,
as well as a secret passage which
leads to a higher chamber here
In this peak above the temple.
Vou know the location of the
wreck and the pearls there. I
have this great black gem In my
eye socket If aught should befall
me It will be found with my
body. Because of the added
safety of the secret higher cham
ber, It is there that 1 shall sleep,
and If I die where my body will
be found.
The entrances and exits to all
of these secret passages are most
ingeniously concealed. To locate
the oiie which leads to the higher
chamber, look In the temple

Silence fell as Pauo’s voice died
There In that phraseology of a dead
generation, there hrd been painted
for us a picture of stark drama.
Through other eyes We had wtt.
nessed the scenes of a hundred yean
ago there on grim old Tarea.
“And so the years passed, and
Great Grandfather Ezra was never
rescued, dying there alone at last
there on Tarea." Paun said softly.
"What a price he paid for raiding the
temple! Watching the sea day by
day for a sail that never came, and
forever secure)., imprisoned by the
tumbling ocean."
We all felt the force of the drama
of the thing: A chained captive In
Nu’a temple—living and dying there,
while the ancient stone god looked
on impassively, relentless to the end.
The man with that huge Jewel in
his eye socket, the Jewel which b«
had taken from Nu’s eye. Nu await
ing his death.
lone mused reflectively: "The cap
tsin’s act may have placed a curse
on your ramtly line, but he certainly
paid '» price of poetic Justice In his
own passing!"

SELF-HELP MEN GET
INCOMES AT STATE
Raleigh, June 25.—Despite a gloomy
outlook at the beginning of the school
year students registered for Work in
the Self-Help Bureau at State College
earned almost as much during the
past session as In any previous year,
according to M. L. Shepherd, head
of the Bureau.
The total earnings of the registered
students amounted to over $6,006,
which represents a decrease of less
than ten percent over the previous
year. Freshmen earned the greatest
part of this amount as most of the
upperclassmen secure employment
without the aid of the Bureau and
many of them return to jobs of the
previous year and do not register.
