But luck was zlguliist them. Thcy did

THE GLA9B~BO’I"I‘OMED PLEAS FRE BOATS

boats come, llowe-ver, before they ra-

turned; for it was in the bay itself that the most coudd bo seen of the gardens under water. There, through tho pints gloss in the bottom of thu boat, ine passengers could look down to tho occan bed, sl-.l\'ei‘al fatlionls bf-low, and st-e t.-ieurly the mainy-hued plants, tha pink and white coral and the zaily colored ilsh darting to und fro.

After a while the boys tired of the

luck of sport. \\'ih heartily a\’>pro\'o<l of the suggestion rliadt: by If-larr_\' that they au.\int£-r toward tiic landing plat'c_at the buy und watt.-li the youngsters dive for tl:-9 nickels :ind dimes thrown into the water by tourists. lt was n0i so very long nlzo that Harry and \\'lb thcm-

selvos had plunged into the bay and coma up with their mouths bulging with ooins. But they were most too big to do _this now.

'1‘l|oy‘turnsd toward tho east and then

followed the-shore iins of tho bay, which sweeps south in a semicircir. Leaving the beaten path they plungsd ii 'he hills, taking an entirely new co,

"\ ‘"9" SM there at this rate of

spec.. .~.<:-red VVib: "let‘s make a short out ot-or to the ahora and travel along more easily."

So they proceeded recklessly down the

slope. They had almost reached the bottom, where tho hills were indented by a little cove, when Harry gasped, with what little breath he had left:

"Do _y_-ou know, Wib. it's somewhere

about ere that the cannon is fired oft every night, and no nne's been ablc to find out who does it."

"Ye-e-es," rcplled \‘.'lh_ jeritily, “i've

heard;-" but at thin instant ho lost his footing, crashed down the slope and plunged into ri thit-kat at the bottom

“Hurt, \Vib'!" yelled Harry, solicit-

ously.

There was no answer for a momenL

Then came the excited response:

"Coma here, quick; l‘\'e found somo-

!liingi"

llarry parted the shrubbery, and

found himsclf standing by Wib at the mouth of 1|. cave that shelved Rt0<‘ll\>' underground. Right near the. entrance of the cave was a small brass cannon. mounted on a carriage, so that it could readily be moved.

“it.‘s the one that's fil'é‘d1" m\1ilf‘¥‘Bd

Hairy.

A crackling of twigs bchindulltm caused the boys to hide iililckly in ill” bushes. They had bai‘si_\'_timl- _to crounh in silence when rt wilu-lookin! m““- cloihed in rags, strode into the carve. As he walked hc grunted: _

"I :tm Sehztstinli Vizcainu. I run

shal_l salute thee with the roar of can- non."

"iles cl'iiz\'," wilispored \‘Vib. "l suppose l-._e tliiiiks he's the old dufter who naiin_>d the island, hundreds .il years ago. `

Titay carefully retired from the shrub-

bary and tiptoed down to the shore.

"1 say, Wib, _dtin'l lei‘s tell on the-

old gentleman. He- seems harmless nn htyg only enjoyin' himself in his own fashion. If wc let the police l_tnu\v. thc;-‘ll be likeiy to lock 'lm up; an that would ho tl slia1nt‘_" _
