the periscope correctly.
He saw in it a dark dirty face with
a wild growth of black stubble, glar-
ing straight back at him, where-
upon he dropped the p•eriscepe, seized
his rifle, and scrambled' up I the para-
pet, fully intending to finish the

Where Wives Are Silent.

where women are forbidden to talk.

of

.:Zea qtr•, in the United States, where
'hey ;,+%:•k as waiters.
The custom of the island for many .
years has been for the young men to
marry the girl they love. best and.
,hen, after a brief honeymoon; go to
America to make their fortunes,' re-
turning in a few years to their
bride. During this period of the ab-
sence of the husband it has become .
a custom for their wives, 7 -omen
traditional for their beauty, never to
talk to men, It is the business of the
older women to watch over the
young wives, and when strange men'
approach, as has happened frequent -
:y since the war, they are met with
a shower of stones.
