Yon koow tbey live a cycle of four years, no more, always Nturn Ing to tbe waters of tbelr nativ ity to die. And I bave heard It said tbat during one of those four years tbey disappear, no oue knowa where, reappearing out of tbe mysterious deptba of tbe sea as If at a signal. Tbey eome by tbe legion, In countless j •eon* of thousands, and wlwn one* tbey bave tasted tbe waters of their Mrtb tbey never touch food again, nev er cease tbelr onward rush until they become bruised and battered wrecks, drifting down from the spawning beds.

Wlwn tbey fee! tb* homing Impulse tbey cam* from tb* remotest depths, head* tag unerringly for tbe particular pur M t stream whence they originated.

Tlwy may disregard a thousand rivers ooe by one, but wben they Anally taste tbo aweet currents wblcb flow from tbalr birthplaces tlielr whole nature changes, and even tbelr physical fea tures alter. They grow thin, and tho bead takes on tbo sinister curve of tbo praying bird. \Why. you Just ought to witness tbe i *nn.* These emply waters become suddenly crowded, and tbo flsb com* In a great silver horde, which races up, up, up toward deatb and obliteration. Tbof eome with the violence ot a sum- storm; like a prodigious, gleaming army tbey swarm and bend forward, eager, underlet Ing, one purposed. It'a was vitally Interested now, \What docs It cost to Install and op erate a cauncry for the flrst season7\ “About $300.000.1 am told.

I see.” Tbe Ugbt died out of Emerson's eyes; tbe eagerness left bls Voice. lie flung himself dejectedly Into s chair by the flro, moodily watcb Ing tbo flames licking the burning logs. All at once he gripped tbe arms of bla ebalr and muttered through eel Jaws. \Ood I'd like to tak* on* uwn chance.” |«ultf Impossible to describe It, this great silver horde. Tbey a n entirely defenseless, of course, aad almost •very living thlug preys upon them. Tbe birds congregate In millions, th* four footed beasts come down from tbe bills, tbe Apaches o f tbe sea harry them In dense droves, and even man eppean from distant coasts to take bls toll, but still they press bravely on. The clank of macblnery makes the bills nimble; tbe blss of steam and tbe slgbs of tbc soldering furnaces a n like the complaint of some glan» overgorging blmself.\ \How long does It all last!\ \Only about a ll weeks; tben the furnace fires die out, tiio ships are loaded, tb« men go to alecp, after which Kalvlk sags back into its ten months’ coma, becoming, as you see It now, a dead, deserted village, shunned by man.\ CHAPTER I I I . H E girl darted a swift took at Boyd, but he fell to brooding again, evidently Insensible to her presence. At length he stirred blmself to ask: \Can I hire a guide hereabout) We'll Save lo bu going on In a day or so.1 \Constantine trill get yoa on*.
