HEIIB ho found a. falr-stsed upace about a
clear and plentiful spring- of cold water.
Only a few low bushes dotted the grassy
clearing, which was almost completely sur
rounded by derisa and Impenetrable Jungle.
The men had deposited their burden, and
still Thelrere stood watting for the re.
malnder of his party Miller and Swenson
with Harbara Harding;.
But they did not come.
When, tn alarm, the entire party started
back In search of them they retraced their
steps to the very brink of the declivity lead
ing to the cove beforo they could believe
the testimony of their own perceptions.
CHAPTER X.
Kidnapped Again,
tTTHEN Barbara Hardin, with Miller
VY before and Swenson behind her, had
taken up the march behind the loot-laden
parly, seven dusky, noiseless shadows had
emerged from the forest to follow close
behind.
For half a mllo the party moved along;
tho narrow 'trail unmolested. Therlere had
come back to exchange a half dozen words
with the ulrl and had again moved forward
toward tho head of tho column.
Miller was not more than 25 feet behind
the nrst man ahead of him, and Miss Hard
ing; and Swenson followed at Intervals of
but three or four yards.
Suddenly, without warning1, Swenson and
Millar fell, pierced with savage spears, and
nt the samo Instant sinewy Angers gripped
Barbara Harding and a silencing hand was
clnpped ocr her mouth.
There had been no sound above the
nuflled tread of the seamen. Jt hod all
bon accomplished so quickly and so easily
that tho Blrl did not comprehend what had
Dornncn ner for some minutes.
In tho darkness of the forest she could
not clearly distinguish tho forms or features
of her abductors, though she reasoned, as
was only natural, that Skipper Slmms's party
had become aware of the plot against them
and had taken thli meant of thwarting a
part of It) but when her captors turned
directly Into tho mates of tho Jungle, away
from tho coast, she began first to wonder
and then to doubt.
Presently, when a small clearing let the
moonlight fall upon them, she was not sur
prised to discover that none of the mem
bers of tho Halfmoon's companywaa among
her guard,
Barbara Harding had not clrclod tho globe
half a dozen times for nothing. Thero wero
but few races or nations with vrhOBo his
tory, past and present, she was not fairly
familiar, and so tho sight that greeted her
eyes was well suited to nil her with aston
ishment. She found herself In tho hands of what
appeared to be a party of Japaneso war
riors of tho fifteenth or sixteenth centuries.
Sho recognized tho medieval arms and
armor, tho ancient helmets, the halrdrcss
ing of tho two-sworded men of old Japan.
At tho belts of two of her captors dangled
STlsly trophies of the hunt. In the moon
light she saw that they wero tho heads of
Miller and Suenson.
Tho girl was horrified. Sho had thought
her lot before as bad as It could bo, but
to be In tho clutches of these strange, fierce
warriors of a long-dead ago was unthlnk
ably worse. That she could ever have
wished to be back upon tho Halfmoon would
have seemed, a few days since, Incredlblo;
yet that was precisely what she longed for
now.
On through the night marched the ltttlo
brown men, grim and silent, until nt laBt
they camo to a small vlllago in a valley
awtty from tho coast a valley that lay
nestled high among lofty mountains.
Hero wero cavelike dwellings burrowed
half under ground. Tho upper walls and
thatched roofs roso scarcoly four feet above
the ground level. Granaries on stilts wiro.
dotted here and there among tho dwellings.
Into ono of tho filthy dens Barbara Hard

The neighbors salt to her, "The children
should be sent to en orphan asylum." But

women were sleeping. About them stretched
and curled and perched a motley throng
of dirty, yeltow children, dogs, pigs and
chickens.
It was the palace of Dalmto Oda Tori
moto. Lord of Yoka, as his ancestors had
christened their new Island home.
Once within tho warren the two Samurai
who had guarded Barbara upon the march
turned and Withdrew she was alono with
Oda Torlmoto and his family.
From the centra of the room depended
a swinging shelf upon which a great pile
of grinning skulls rested. At 'the back of
the room was a door which evidently was
tho entrance to another apartment In the
dwelling.
The girt was given little opportunity to
examine her new prison, for scarce had
tho guards withdrawn than Oda Torlmoto
approached and grasped her by the arm.
"Cornel" he said In Japanese that was
sufficiently similar to that of modern Nip
pon to be easily understood by Barbara
Harding. With tho word ho drew her to
ward a raised platform nt ono side of tho
room. There was a greedy look In tho
vicious, beady oyes.
When Therlere came to the realization
that Barbara Harding was gone he Jumped
to tho natural conclusion that Ward and
Blmms had discovered the ruse that ho had
worked upon them Just In time to permit
them to Intercept Miller and Swenson with
tho girl and carry her back to tho main
camp.
The others wero prone to agree with
him, though the mucker grumbled that "It
listened fishy.'" However, all hands re
turned cautiously down tho face of the
cliff, expecting momentarily to be attacked
by tho guards which they felt sure Ward
would post In expectation of a return of
the mutineers the moment they discovered
mat the girl had been taken from them.
But to the surprise of all they reached
tho covo without molestation, and when
they had crept cautiously to tho vicinity
of tho eleopera they discovered that all
wero there In peaceful slumber, Just as they
had left them a few hours before.
Silently the party retraced Its steps up
tho cliff. Therlere and Billy Byrne brought
up the rear.
"What do you make of It, Byrner asked
the Frenchman.
"If you wanna get It straight, cul," re
plied the mucker, "I t'Ink youse know a
whole lot more about It dan you'd like to
havo tho rest of ua t'Ink."
"What do you mean, my friend?" cried
Therlere, surprlsod at Billy's woras. "Speak
out!"
"Sure I'll speak out. Tou didn't t'Ink I
was bashful, dldja? Wot did you detail
dem two pikers. Miller and Swenson, to
guard de skirt fer. If It wasn't for s t
spcolal frame-up of yer own7 Dey newiT

chanct you get you'll hike after dem, while
we hold de bag. T'ought you'd double
cross us cosy, didn't eh? Yeh cheap

"Byrne." said Therlere, and It was easy
to see that only through the strength of his
will-power did ho keep his temper, "you
may hao cause to suspect tho motives of
eery one connected with tho Halfmoon. I
cannot say that I blame you, but I wish you
to remember what I Bay to you now. There
was a time when I fully Intonded to double
cross you, as you say that was before you
saved my life.
"Since then I have been square with you,
not only In deed, but In thought as well. I
glvo you tho word of a man whose word
once meant something I am playing fairly
with you now except In one thing, and I
shall tell you what that Is at once. I do
not know where Miss Harding Is, or what

man came to the door and handed the lady
a letter. Reading It, she discovered that
after all her husband had not died penni

turned out to be worth quite a lot of

Then we all went to the beach. We let
the water splash on baby's toes and she

The Kind but Poor Girl
Br PAULINE HOROWITZ, Wkitt Road. N. J
Once upon a time there was a little girl
by the name- of Mary. She was poor but
very kind. One day while Mary was out
walking she found a dime. She didn't spend
th dime, but thought she -would bring It
home to her mother. As she was walking
home she met a woman sitting on the step
of a vacant house crying Mary went up
and asked her what the matter was. and
the woman said she was hungry , so Mary
gae the woman her dime. The lady thanked

like the res that I am free to admit
But now I do not want It. I had Intended
taking advantage of the first opportunity
to return Miss Harding to civilization un
harmed and without tho payment of a penny
to any one.
"The reason for. my chango Is my own
affair. In all probability you would not
believe the sincerity or honesty of my mo
tives should I disclose them. I tell you
these things only because you have accused
me of double dealing, and I do not wish the
man who saved my life nt the risk of hit
own to havo the slightest grounds to doubt
my honesty with him. I have been a fairly
"bad egg, Byrne, for a great many years!
but, pardleu, I am not entirely rotten yet."
Byrne was silent for a few moments. He,
too, had recently come to tho conclusion
that possibly he was not entirety rotten
either, nnd had in a vague and half-formed
sort of way wished for tho opportunity to
demonstrate the fact. Thus he was willing
to accede to another that which ho craved
for himself,
"Yeh listen, nil right, cut," ha said at
last, "an' I'm wlllln to take yeh nt yer own
say-so till I learn different."
"Thanks," snld Therlere tersely. "Now
wo shall work together In the search for
Mlsa Harding. But where, In the name of a
pipe, shall wo start?"
"W'y, where wo seen her last, of course,"
replied the mucker, "night here on top of
dese bluffs."
'Then we can't do anything until day
light," said the Frenchman.
"Not a Vlng, and at daylight we'll most
likely have a scrap on our hands from be
low," and the mucker Jerked his thumb In
tho direction of the cove.
"I think," said Therlero, "that wo should
spend an hour arming ourselves with sticks
nnd stones. We have a good position up
here one that we can defend with case
from an assault from below. If we aro pre
pared for them we shall hold them off for
a while and may tako tho time to search
about up here for clues to tho whorcabouta
of mademoiselle."
And so the party set to work to cut stout
bludgeons from the trees about them nnd
pile loose fragments of rock In handy places
near tho cllfttop. Therlere even went so
far as to throw up a low breastwork ncrosi
tho top of tho trail up which tho enemy
must climb to reach tho summit of tho cliff.
When they had completed their prepara
tions, three men could havo hold the placo
against ten times their own number.
Then they lay down to sleep, leaving
Blanco and Divine on guard, for It had been
decided that these two, with Bony Sawyer,
should bo left behind on tho morrow to hold
tho cllfttop whllo tho others wero hunting
for traces of Barbara Harding. Thoy wero
to relfeve ono another on guard duty during
tho remainder of the night.
Hardly had tho first suggestion of dawn
lightened tho eastern Bky thnn Divine, who
was again on guard, awakened Therlere.
In a moment tho others wero nroused and a
hasty raid was made on the cached pro
visions. Tho lack of water was keenly felt, but
It was too far to tho spring to chance
taking the time necessary to fotch tho
much-craved fluid, nnd thoso who wero
to forgo Into tho Junglo In search of Barbara
Hardltlg hoped to find wntor further Inland,
while It was decided to dispatch Bony
Sawyer to tho spring for wnter for those
who Were to remain on guard at the
cllfttop.
A hurried breakfast was made on ship's
biscuit. Therlere and his party stuffed
their pockets full of them, and a moment
later tho hunt was on.
First tho men traversed tho trail to
ward tho spring, looking for Indications
of the spot where Barbnra Harding had
ceased to follow them. The girl had worn
heellcss buckskin shoes at tho tlmo sho
was taken from tho Lotus, and theso left
ltttlo or no spoor In tho well-tramped
oarth of tho narrow path.
But a careful and minute examination on
the part of Therlero finally resulted In tho

STORIES OF CLOUDLAND
Moro About Dopy Down Billy By
Farmer Smith
"Dopy Down Dllly then, gets his sand
out of Sleepy Hollow, which is jut back of
tho palace Just as the sun goei down he
digs a pailful, which he carries down to the
World and sprinkles on the oyei of the
little girls and boys to make them sleep
"I was riding round on my automobile
beetle when I saw him digging his sand, nnd
I followed him up to his room where ho puts
on his wings.
"He went .Inside the room, leaving his
pall of sand outside the door. My automo
bile beetle didn't make any noise and I
just rodo along soft as air, picked up his
pall and rodo away down the hall and out
the back door.
"I didn't really mean to put the Moon to
sleep, but when Dopy Down DUly mtsaid
his pall he flew after me, crying out that
If I didn't come back he would punish me
awful. He cried out so loud that he fright
ened my automobile beetle, and when I
wanted to go back to escape being punished
I found that my beetle had run away
with me.
"I couldn't even steer my Beetle and we
bumped Into a lot of stars. Then we flew
up over the Moon and the Beetle wabbled
so that I couldn't hold the pall steady.
"I tried to hold tight to the pall, but It
twisted right around and all the sand ran
out and fell tn Mr. Moon's eyes He went
sound asleep and didn't wake up until next
morning. And you see, ns he was asleep,
he couldn't shine that night. I never Baw
tho Moon so angry before, and Dopy Down
Dllly was Just wild about It, for he didn't
have any sand left In hl pall to put the
children to sleep until eer so late."
"Was Prince Marmolade angry too?"
asked Tulip Heart.
"Sh-sh-sh," whispered Zu Zu, "hero comes
Gruff Gruff."
When the old nurse Gruff Gruff came to
dress Tulip Heart every morning when she
awoke In her little gold bed in the palaco
of Cloudland she did not come in the door,
but down from the celling.
The celling of Tulip Heart's room was
made or a fluffy white cloud, and at night If
Tulip Heart's eyes wen not toe Bleepy she
could see a lot of little stars twinkling In
the fluffy white stuff. In the morning the
stars had gone.
Oruff Oruff never knocked or gave the
little girl any warning of when she was
coming. She Just dropped a golden rope
down through the celling and then came
sliding down the rope. It was ery funny
the way she came down the rope, for she
would grunt and grunt and grunt until
she reached the floor, and her skirts would
fly all about her and show her sunflower
stockings.
Yes, she wore green stockings with big
sunflowers painted on them. Gruff Gruff
was so very old that she bad no teeth, but
she was very quick and spry, and could
jump about and run just as fast as Tulip
Heart If she wanted to.
Tulip Heart couldnt help but laugh, every
time Gruff Oruff came sliding down, the
golden rope from the celling.
The day after Zu Zu had told her about
how he stole the Sand Stan's pall of sand
and put the Moon to sleep Tulip Heart asked
Gruff Gruff why she didn't come Into the
room through the door.
"I don't like doors," said Gruff Gruff, "be
cause my father was a Jack-ln-the-Box, and
the bad little boy that Santa Claus gave
him to kept pounding hln) on the head all
the time and jamming the door of his box
down on him."
"Was your papa really a Jack-ln-the-Box?"
asked Tulip Heart 'That's awfully
funny, for he couldn't ha had any feet
just springs."

detection of n single small footprint n
hundred yards from the point they had
struck the trail nfter ascending the cliffs.
This far, at least, sho had been with
them.
The men now spread out upon either
aide of the track Thorlere nnd Bed Sanders
on one side, Byrne nnd Wilson on the other.
Occasionally Therlero would return to tho
trail to search for further Indications of
tho spoor they sought.
The party had proceeded In this fashion
for nearly half a mllo, when they were
suddenly attracted by a low exclamation
of tho mucker,
"Hero!" he called. "Here's Miller an'
tho Swede, an' they suro havo mussed
'em up terrible!"
Tho others hnstened In tho direction of
his voice, to come to a horrified halt at
the sides of tho headless trunks of tho
two sailors.
"Mon Dleul" exclaimed tho Frenchman,
reverting to his mother tongue, as ho did
under the stress of excitement. "Mais,
o'est ntroco'"
"Who dono It?" queried Red Sanders,
looking suspiciously at tho mucker,
"Head-hunters," said Therlere. "God I
What a frightful fato for that poor girl!"
Billy Byrno went white.
"Yeh don't mean dat dey'vo lopped oft
her block?" ho whispered In an awed voice.
Something strnngo roso In tho mucker's
breast at the thought ho had voiced. Ho
did not attempt to analyzes tho sensation;
but It was far from Joy at tho suggestion
that the woman ho so hntcd had met a
horrlbto and disgusting death at tho hnnds
of saages.
"I fear not, Byrne," said Thorlere, In a
voice that none thero would have recog
nized ns that of tho harsh and masterful
fcccond officer of the Halfmoon.
"Vo'ro afraid not?" echoed, Billy Byrno
In amazement.
'Tor her sako, I hopo that they did,"
said Therlere. "For such ns sho It would
have been n far less horrlblo fate than
the one' I fear thoy hnve reserved for her "
"You mean " queried Byrne, and then
ho stopped, for the realization of Just
what Therlero did mean swept over him
qulto suddenly.
There was no particular reason why
Billy Byrno should havo felt toward women
tho flnor sentiments which aro so cherished
a possession of those men who have been
gently born and raised, oven after they
have learned that all women aro not an was
tho femlnlno Ideal of their boyhood.
Billy's mother, always foul rr'iuthcd and
quarrelsome, had been a veu.ablo demon
when drunk, and drunk sho had been when,
ever sho could, by hook or crook, raise the
price of whisky. Never, to Billy's recollec
tion, had she opoken a word of endearment
to him; and so terribly had she abused him
that even whlto he was yet a llttlo boy,
scarce out of his habyhod, ho had learned
to view her with hatred as deep-rooted as Is
tho !oto of most little children for their
mothers.
When ho had come to tnui'ij estate, he
bad defended hlmsolf fiom tho woman's
brutal assaults as ho would havo defended
himself against another man. When rne
had struck, Billy had struck back; the lily
thing to his credit being that he had n.ver
struck her exiepl In self-defense.
CJhnslty In woman was. to him, a thing
to Jolto of ho did not believe that It ex
isted; for he Judged other nomen by the
one he knew best his mother And as he
hated her. so he hated them all.
He had doubly hated Barbara Harding,
since sho not only was a woman, but a
woman of the class he loathed.
And so It vat strange and Inexplicable
that the suggestion of tho girl's probable
fnto should have affected Billy Byrne as It
did He did not stop to reason about It at
all he simply knew thnt he felt a mad
and unreasoning rage against the creatures
that had borne the girl away. Outwardly,
howeier. Billy showed no Indication of the
turmoil that raged within his breast
"Wo gotta find her, bo," he said to
Therlere. "We gotta And the skirt."
Ordinarily Billy would have blustered
about tho terrible things ho would do to
the objects of his wrath when once he had
them In his power; but now he was
strnngoly quiet Only tho firm set of his
strong chin nnd the steely glitter of his
gray eyes gave token of the Iron resolution
within.
Therlere, who had been walking slowly to
and fro about the dead men, now called
tho others to him.
"Here's their trail." he said. "If It's as
plain as that all the way. wo won't be
long In overhauling them. Come along."
Before he had the words half out of his
mouth the mucker was forging ahead
through the Jungle along the well-marked
spoor of the Samurai
"What kind of men do you suppose they
are?" asked Red Sanders.
"Malaysian head-hunters, unquestion
ably," replied Therlere.
Sanders shuddered. The appellation had
a gruesome sound. He suddenly caught
Wilson's arm, muttering something, and
they stopped short

Red Sanders and Wilson took a few
steps after the Frenchman. Therlere turned
once to see that they were following him,
and then a twist In the trail hid them from
his view.
Red Sanders stopped.
"Damme If I'm goln to get my coconut

"The girl's more'n likely dead long ago,"

COKTINUEQ TOMORROW
BRENON LEAVES FOX
TO HEAD OWN MM
Director of "Million-Dollar Pic
ture" Will Present Nazimova
and Mary Garden
By tho Photoplay Editor
Herbert Brenon, who has Just completed
"A Daughter of the Gods" for William Fox,
announces his Intention" of entering the
production field on his own account, re
leasing his product on the Stato right
basis.
A peculiarly Interesting angle to Phlla
delphlans Is the announcement that Stanley
V, Mastbaum, the local theatre magnate, Is
vleo president of the new Brenon Company.
Mr. Brenon expects to begin next month
producing special features with women stars
only. He expects to make four or five of
these before next March, when he will
start work on "Thais," an elaborate spec
taclo, with Mary Garden as the star.
Mr. Brenon describes his plans ns fol
lows: "I shall make these pictures with women
stars only, because -I believe tho public
prefers to eeo them on the screen. I shall
mako at least four or Ave productions be
fore next March, when I shall commence
upon my next great speotacle, with Mary
Garden as the star. No star will appear
either for me or any other concern within
one year of tho date of the release of her
feature. I have decided upon this policy
because today Neptune' Daughter' is still
playing with excellent receipts solely be
cause It Is tho only picture In which they
can see that wonderful artist, Annette Kel
lcrmann." Tho first production by Mr. Brenon Is
rumored to be "War Brides," with Nazi
movn as the star.
One of the stock comedy situations of
tho movies Is where tho hilarious young
man receives a shower bath when tho
bottle pf wine ho has been shaking ejects
Its cork violently and doluges Us victim.
Tho surest way of getting tho effect on tho
screen Is to conceal a hose In tho clothing
of the ono to bo drenchod and havo him hold
tho nozzle In his hand behind tho neck of
tho bottle After It has been duly waved
nbout the enmera man stops turning for a
brief moment whllo tho hose attachment Is
made. Then the nctlon begins again. Or
dinarily there Is no Joy In tho procedure
for tho bottleholder, but In these dog days
In the studio, notoriously the hottest place
outside of a stokehold or steel furnace, the

HELLO GIRLS SCARCE,
SAYS PHONE OFFICIAL
Traffic Unusually Heavy tot
Summer Preparing for
Fall Rush
There is an unprecedented need of girls
In switchboard circles of Philadelphia on
account of the failure of telephone trafflfl
to diminish at this time of the summer as It
usually does, according to T. C. Staples, of
the Hell Telephone Company.
"For some unknown reason the traffic) la
nd falling off this summer at all ns It has
In the past," said Mr Staples. "There it
no particular reason why the traffic) houl4
hold tip this way, but It has, And It we
are so busy now, what will we be by fallT
For that reason, we have put advertisements
In the newspapers to get girls' for our op
erators' school. We nre taking time by
the forelock, that Is all. We believe In
preparedness, so we will be ready to take
care of the trafflo In the busy months."
Mr. Staples says there are many rs
sponses and that the Bell Telephone Com
pany has no trouble at all In getting girls.
He says the munition factories and the
summer hotels have no effect on tho supply
of operators.
