He pointed in the direction of the distant mete. "They are coming! We are really shipwrecked now!" He danced with joy. There had been a quick movement at his words. Men shaded their eyes with their hands t olook. The women looked up with languid curiosity, ex- cited and yet dull. There were forms creeping to- wards thorn over the greenish -gray turf, and other :forms hiding among the rocks. "I did not know this part was in- habited," said Mr. Ferguson to the captain. "I know there were some sort of natives—Tierra del Fuegians. They are not likely to do any harm --or any good either. They are pretty low down in the .scale of humanity." "The women had better go down to the cave." "Perhaps so. We can try to get firewood and something to eat from them." The women Were sent down to the plateau. They stood in Il group outside the cave, looking with awed gaze at the figure lying within. Ono woman (Tied quietly. 'Tis no use cry!,,'!" said one. Arthur had remained with tine num. Perhaps Pen's words had touch- ed hint more than he would own. "How weary this, waiting is!" -aid Patty Campbell. "Why cannot they take us to the end of the Straits? They say there is a colony of almost civilized beings there." "The boats would not hold all, and, besides, it would take two or three days' rowing, end would be very dangerous. There is sure to be a steamer passing soon," said Pen. "1 wish it would come," said Patty. They waited, with. faces turning upwards to the little path. They could sco nothing of the men above, sheltered as they were by the hang- ing cliff. A figure came running down to them, fear upon his face.

"Don't get frightened, ladies!" he said. "We have sent them off. They got a little too familiar, but that was all. They are easily frightened. What is that shouting' about below?" ";tlr, Delarey has gone down; he wants to sail off in the boats," said the golden-heaired lady. The captain made a remark which was not complimentary to Arthur. He went down to stop the boats and reassure the women. A few seconds later Mr. Ferguson clave. Ho limped, owing to the cut on his foot, and Pen sometimes saw him wince; but he was cheery and smiling.

Th 1'c is only one, and that is lack of loyalty to home institutions and the lure of the flashing publicity of the large city establishments. • Many citizens, while earning their wages and salaries in one place, never- theless send a large proportion of this money out of the community for questionable bargains, thus depriving such community of that much ,,eco <ary working capital. Business M n the Same They have local firms who are able and ready to supply then with all their requirements, yet for the most trivial reason or excuse they will consent to extend this patronage to outside firms, thus helping to build up distant cities at the expense, of their home town. They seem to forget that this money so sent out might otherwise have been largely returned to them• by those with whom they should have left this business.
