came about off a beautiful wooded shoro
opposite tho mouth of what appeared to
bo a land-locked harbor.
Black Michael sent a small boat filled
with men to sound tho entrance In nn
effort to determine If the Fuwalda could
bo safely worked through tho entrance.
In about an hour they returned and
reported deep water through the passage)
as well as far Into the little basin,
Before dark tho barkantlne lay peace
fully at anchor Upon tho bosom of tho
still, mirror-like surface of tho harbor.
Tho surrounding shores were beautiful
with semi-tropical verdure, while In tha
distance the country rose from tho ocean
In hill nnd tableland, almost uniformly
clothed by primeval forest.
No signs of habitation wero visible, but
that the land might easily support h'
man llfo was evidenced by tho abundant
bird and animal llfo of which the watch
ers on tho Fuwalda's deck caught occa
sional glimpses, as well ns by tho shim
mer of a little river which emptied Intj
tho harbor, Insuring fresh water In plen
tltudc. As darkness settled Upon the earth,
Clayton nnd Lady Alice still stood by tho
ship's rail In Bllent contemplation of their
future abode, From tho dark shadows
of tho mighty forest came tho wild calls
of savage beasts tho deep roar of tha
Hon, and occasionally tho shrill scream
of a panther.
Tho woman shrank closer to tho man
in terror-stricken anticipation of tho hor
rors lying In wait for thorn In tho awful
blackness of the nights to come, when
they two should bo alono upon that wild
and lonely shore.
Later In tho evening Black Michael
Joined them long enough to Instruct them
to mnko their preparations for landing
on tho morrow. They tried to persuade
him to tako them to somo more hospita
ble coast near enough to civilization mo
that they might hopo to fall Into friendly
hands. But no picas, or threats, or prom
ises of reward could move him.
"I am the only man aboard who would
not rather see you both safely dead, and,
while I know that that's the sensible
way to make sure of our own necks, yet
Black Michael's not tho man 'o forget a
favor. You saved my llfo once, nnd In
return I'm goln' to sparo yours, but that's
all I can do.
'Tho men won't stand for nny more,
and If wo don't get you landed pretty
quick they may oven change their nrtuils
about giving you that much show. t"l
put nil your stuff ashore with you as well
as cookln' utensils an' somo old sails for
tents, an' enough grub to last you until
you can find fruit and game.
"So that with your guns for protection,
you ought to be able to live here easv
enough until help comes. When I i;et
safely hid away I'll see to It that tho
British gover'ment learns about whero
you bo, for tho llfo of mo I couldn't tell
'em exactly where, for I don't know my
self. But they'll find you all right."
After ho had left them they went si
lently below, each wrapped In gloomv
forebodings.
Clayton did not believe that Black Mi
chael had the slightest Intention of noti
fying tho Brlttah Government of their
whereabouts, nor was he any too sure
but that some treachery was contem
plated for tho following day when they
Bhould be on shore with the sailors who
would have to accompany them with their
belongings.
Once out of Black Michael's sight any
of tho men might strike them down, and
still leavo Black Michael's conscience
clear.
And even should they escape that fate
Was It not but to bo faced with far
graver dangers? Alono, he might hopo
to survive for years ;)for he was a strong,
athletic man.
But -what of Alice, and that other lit
tle llfo so soon to be launched amidst
the .hardships and grave dangers of a
primeval world?
Tho man shuddered as he meditated
upon the awful gravity, tho fearful help
lessness of their situation. But It was
a merciful Providence which prevented
him from foreseeing tho hideous reality
which awaited them In tho grim depths
of that gloomy wood.
Early next morning their numerous
chests and boxes were hoisted on deck
and lowered to waiting small boats for
transportation to shore.
There was a great quantity and va
riety of stuff, as tho Claytons had ex
pected a possible Ave to eight years'
resldenco Jn their new home, so that. In
addition to the many necessities they had
brought, wero also many luxuries.
Black Michael was determined that
nothing belonging to the Claylons should
be left on board. "Whether out of com
passion for them, or In furtherance of
his own self-interests, It were difficult
to say.
There Is no question but that tho pres
ence of property of a missing (British
official upon a suspicious vessel would
have been a difficult thing to explain
In nny civilized port In tho world.
So zealous was ho in his efforts to carry
out his Intentions thnt he Insisted upon
the return of Clayton's revolvers to him
by the sailors In whose possession they
were.
Into tho small boats were also loaded
salt meats and biscuit, with a small sup
ply of potatoes and beans, matches and
cooking vessels, a chest of tools and the
old sails which Black Michael had prom
ised them.
As though himself fearing the very
thing which Clayton had suspected,.
Black Michael accompanied them to

shore, end was the last to leave ihetn
when the small boats, having filled the
ship's casks with fresh water, were
pushed out toward tho waiting Fuwalda,
As the boats Moved slowly over th
smooth waters of the bay, Clayton and
his wife stood silently watching their
departure In tho breasts of both a feel
ing of Impending disaster and utter hope
lessness, And behind them over the edge of a
lowrldge, other eyes watched close set,
wicked eyes, gleaming beneath shaggy
brows.
As the Fuwalda passed through the
narrow entrance to the harbor and out
of sight behind a projecting point, Lady
Alice threw her arms about Clayton's
neck nnd burst Into Uncontrolled sobs.
Bravely hnd she faced tho dangers of)
tho mutiny; with heroic fortltudo she
had looked Into tho terrible future! but
now that the horror of absolute solitude
was upon them, her overwrought nerves
gave way and tho reaction came.
He did not attempt to check her tears
It wero better that nature havo her wayi
In relieving these long pent up emotions
nnd It was many minutes before tho girl
llttlo more than a child she was-could,
again gain mastery of herself.
"Oh, John," sho cried at last, "tha
horror of It. What are we to do? What
ate wo to do?"
"There Is but one thing to do, Allce,"i
and ho spoke as quietly as though they
were Bitting In their snug living room atj
homo, "and that Is work. Work must
be our salvation. Wo must not glvo ouri
selves tlmo to think, for In that cflrectlon
lies madness. .
"Wo must work and wait. I am sure;
that relief will come, and come quickly
when once It Is apparent that the Fu-i
walda has been lost, even though Black)
Michael docs not kocp his word to us." 1
"But John, If It wero only you and I,"
sho sobbed, "we could enduro It I know,)
but"
"Yes, dear," ho answered gontly, 'l)
havo been thinking of that, also; but wq
must face It, as wo must face'whatoven
comes, bravely and with tho utmost com
fldenco In our ability to copo with clrcum
stances whatever they may be.
"Hundreds of thousand? of years ago)
our ancestors of tho dim and distant past
faced tho same problems which wo must
face, possibly In theso same primeval for-,
cstB. That wo aro hero today evidences
their victory.
"What thoy did may wo not do? And)
oven bettor, for aro wo not armed wlthi
ages of superior knowledge, and have wo
not tho means of protection, defense nndj
sustcnanco which sclcnco has given us,
but of which they wero totally Ignorant?)
What thoy accomplished, Alice, with In
struments and weapons of stono and,
bono, surely that may wo accomplish!
also." .
"Ah, John, I wish that I might be a
man with a man's philosophy, but I am
but a woman, seeing with my hearti
rather than my head, nnd all that I can
see Is too horrible, too unthinkable to)
put Into words.
"I only hopo you aro right. John. I;
will do my best to be a bravo prlme-al)
woman, a fit mato for the pilmeval man."
Clayton's first thought was to arrange
a sleeping shelter for tho night; some-
thing which might serve to protect them,
from prowling beasts of prey.
Ho opened tho box containing his rifles)
and ammunition, that they might both,
be armed against possible attack while at
work, and then together thoy sought a,
location for their first night's sleeping)
place
A hundred yards from the beach was a,
little level spot, fairly free of trees,
and here they decided eventually to build,
n. permanent house, but, for the time;
being, they both thought It best to con-,
struct a little platform In tho trees out
of reach of tho larger of tho savagq
beasts In whoso realm they were.
To this end Clayton selected four trees
which formed a rectangle about eight
feet square, and cutting long brnnches
from other trees ho constructed a frame-,
work around them, about ten feet from
the ground, fastening the ends of the
branches securely to the trees by menns
of rope, a quantity of which Black
Michael had furnished him from the hold
of tho Fuwalda.
Across this framework Clayton placed
other smaller branches quite close to
gether. This platform ho paved with tha
hugo fronds of elephant's ear which grew
In profusion about them, and over tha
fronds he laid a great sail folded Into)
several thicknesses.
Seven feet higher he constructed a sim
ilar, though lighter platform to serve as
a roof, and from the sides of this ha
suspended the balance of his sailcloth
for wnlls.
When completed ho had a rather snug
little nest to which he carried their blan-,
kets and some of the lighter luggage.
It was now late In the afternoon, andi
tho rest of the dnyllght hours were
devoted to the building of a rudo ladder,
by means of which Lady Alice could)
mount to her new home.
All during the day the forest about
them had been filled with excited blrda
of brilliant plumage, nnd dancing, chat
tering monkeys, who watched theso newi
arrivals and their wonderful nest-bulldlngi
operations with every mark of keenest
Interest and fascination.
Notwithstanding that both Clayton andi

his wife kept a sharp lookout, they saw
nothing of larger animals, though on
two occasions they had seen their llttln
simian neighbors come screaming nhaV
chattering from tho nearby ridge, cast
ing affrighted glances back over their 11U
tie shoulders, and evincing as plainly as
though by speech that they were fleeing
some terrible thing which lay concealed
there.
Just before dusk Clayton finished his.
ladder, and, filling a great basin with
water front tho nearby stream, tho two
mounted to the comparative safety of
their aerial chamber.
As It was quite warm, Clayton hadj
left the stdo curtains thrown back oven
the roof, and as they squatted, like Turks,
upon their blankets, Lady Alice, strain
ing her eyes Into the darkening shadows
qf the wood, suddenly reached out and
grasped Clayton's arm.
"John," she whispered, "look! What Is
It, a man?"
As Clayton turned his eyes In the di
rection sho Indicated, ho saw silhouetted
dimly against tho shadows beyond tu
great figure standing upright upon the.
ridge.
For a moment It stood as though listen
ing, then turned slowly and melted Into
tho shadows of tho Jungle.
"What Is It, John?"
"I do not know, Alice," ho answered!
gravely, "It Is too dark to eco so far,
and It mny havo been but a shadow cast
by the rising moon."
"No, John, If It waB not a man, It was
some hugo and grotesque mockery of
man. Oh. I am afraid."
He gathered hor In his arms, whlspcrlngi
words of courngo and lovo Into her ears,
for tho greatest pain of their misfortunes,
to Clayton, wns the mental anguish of)
his young wife. Himself bravo and fear
less, yet was ho nble to nppreclate tho
awful suffering which fear entnllB a raro
gift, though but one of many which had
mado tho young Lord Qreystoke respect
ed and loved by nil who know him
Soon after, ho lowered the curtain wnlls,
tying them securely to tho trees, so that
except for a llttlo opening toward tho
beach, they were entirely enclosed
As It was now pitch dark within their
tiny acrle, they lay down upon their
blankets to try to wrest, through sleep,
a brief rcsplto of forgetfutness.
Clayton Iny facing tho opening at the,
front, a rifle and a brace of revolvers au
his hand,
Scarcely had they closed their eyes than
the terrifying ory of a panther rang
out from tho Jungle behind them. Closer
and closer It came, until they could henr
the great beast directly beneath them.
For an hour or more thoy heard It sniff
ing and clawing at tho trees which sup
ported their platform, but nt last It
roamed away across tho beach, whero
Clayton could seo It clearly In the bril

tho largest ho had ever seen
During tho long hours of darkness they
caught but fitful snatches 01 iileep, fur
tho night noises of a great Jungle teem

SHE JES' WILL STAY
IN DETENTION HOUSE
She Ran Away, But Returned.
"Pore LiT Brack Girl" Was
Happy Only There.
Tho machinery of tho Juvenile Court
has proved Inadequaio to prevent a
small 9-year-old negro girl named
Qenova Jullnnna Kord from taking up
her resldenco In the House of Detention.
Tho court has exhausted Its resources
In trying to keep her away. But Geneva
Just won't be kept, with tha result that
sho Is happy today, playing about the
building.
Two years ago her parents died nnd
sho lived with her aunt, Jennie Jackson,
of 418 West Venango street. Sho seemed
contented In her new home until nbout
a week ago, when the wanderlust got In
her blood. Sho felt ns If she Just had
to go somewhere, so sho started on an
expedition that landod hor at the home
of a friend, Mrs. Nash, a Negro, of
3S32 Nlco street.
Hor aunt did not approve Geneva's
wanderings nnd so sho petitioned tho
Juvenile Court to tnko charge of her
as an Incorrigible nnd truant child.
Geneva couldn't understand theso high
sounding words, nnd felt thnt something
awful was coming when Bho wns taken
before Judgo Gorman In tho Juvenile
Court But anxiety was turned to pleas
ure when sho was taken to the glrU
room, received a nice llttlo bed of her
own and the freedom of the quarters.
She was perfectly contented In her now
surroundings, and didn't oven mind at
tending school.
But her happiness was rudely Inter
rupted last Wednesday. Her aunt asked
the court to put her on probation and
Judge Gorman assented. Geneva was
taken back home. It Is true, but sho
didn't Btay thore long. Sho ran away
the samo day, bound for tho House of
Detention as fast as her legs could carry
her. She got ns far as Hunting Park
when a guard saw her In tho shrubbery
nnd asked hor whero sho was going.
"Do houso ob detenshum," she declared
boldly. The guard took her there.
Geneva appeared before Judgo Gor
man In court, dressed In a long 8'nshftm
garment that reached to her feet. She
looked at the court with a dignified
manner and plainly showed that any
change of residence would be distasteful
to her.
"Do you like It here?" Inquired the
Judge. Geneva nodded assent vigor
ously. ''Then you can remain here for some
time." A wide grin overspread Geneva s
face as she was led from the courtroom.
