CLIF FARADAY’S “WARD.” Clif had got him out of the water. Then he jearned of the sunken valuables, He showed what real diving expertness could do ina case of exigency, and he sent the man on tus way rejoicing—life and property both saved by his own timely and heroic mterveution. ‘“Ward was stuck on vou,’’ bluntly explained the lawyer. ‘‘He came here day before yesterdav. He paid me iny fee for making out that paper. He said that to-day he would come in aud file details o thie trust.’”’ **T see .” murmured Clif, thouehtfully. “Aud he didn’t.
