i The Samurai who had closed upon Byrno
I at that Instant found his enemy unarmed,
and with a howl of delight he struck full
at the broad chest with his long, thin
dagger.
But Billy Byrno was not to bo dispatched
so easily. With his left forearm ho struck
Up the hand that wielded tho monaclng
blade, and then, catching tho fellow by
tho shoulder, swung htm around, grasped
hlnv about the waist, and, lifting him abovo
his head, hurled him In tho faces of the
fiwordsmon who woro pressing through tho
narrow doorway.
Almost simultaneously a spear shot
through a tiny opening In tho ranks before
Sillily Byrne, and with a little gasp of dls-
nay tho hugo fellow pitched forward upon
his face. At tho samo Instant a shot rang
lout behind Barbara Harding, and Thcrlero
leaped past her to stand across tho body
i,of the fallen mucker.
With tho sound of tho shot a Samurai
'sank to tho tloor, dead. Tho others, un
accustomed to firearms, drew back In dls
ftnay. Again Thcrlero fired polntblank Into tho
crowded room, and this time two men fell,
struck by the samo bullet.
Once more tho warriors retreated, and
with an exultant yell Therlere followed up
his advantage by charging menacingly upon
them. They stood for a moment, then
iwavered, turned and fled from the hut.
When Therlere turned back toward
I,"3arbara Harding ho found her kneeling
pesldo tno mucKer.
"No. Can wo lift him together nnd get
I him through that window?"
"It Is tho only way," replied Therlere,
"and we must try It"
They seized upon tho hugo body and
Idragged it to the far end of tho room;
out, despite their best efforts, tho two
fwere not able to lift the great inert mass
of flesh and bone and muscle and pass It
I through tho tiny opening.
"What shall we do?" cried Therlere.
"We must stay here with him," replied
Barbara Harding. "I could never desert
mun who has fought so noble a fight for
tie while a breath of life remained In him."
Therlere groaned.
"Nor I," ho said ; "but you ho has given
his life to savo yours. Should you render
fcl3 sacrifice of no avail?"
' "I cannot go alone, she answered slnv
jjply, "and I know that you will not leave
nhlm. There is no other waj" wo must
stay."
At this juncturo the mucker opened his
yes.
"who lilt me?" ho murmured. "Jcs" show
tne da big stiff."
Therlero could not repress a smile. Bar-
'' bara Harding again knelt beside the man.
"Nb ono hit you, Mr, Byrne." she said.

tuThere were two flesh wounds In his heart

She had received earlier in the fracas. From
prown to heel tho man was a mass of
Iblood.
Through hl3 crimson mask he looked at
I'tae pile of bodies In the far end of the
it4oxn and a broad grin cracked the dried
ifelood about his mouth.
"Wot we done to dem chinks was sure
:;. nlenty. kiddo." he remarked to Mlsa
miardlng. and then he came to hla feet,
sem!ngiy as strong as ever, snaking him
!t like a great bull. "But I guess It's

he added, turning to Therlere. "Dey Jest
about had me down fer de long count."
Barbara Harding' was looking at the man
!ln wide-eyed amazement. A moment be
fore she had been expecting him moment
kaxlly to breathe his last now he was
ptandlng before her talking as unconcerned
lly as though he had not received a scratch.
I He seemed totally unaware of his woundsl
pAt least he was entirely Indifferent to
I them.
"You're pretty badly hurt, old man." said
Kberlere. "Do you fqel able to make the
fattempt to get to the jungle? The Japs
.Twill be back In a moment."

'imucker, who drew her through the open-
linz. Then ttiuy extenaea a hand to the
(frenchman, and a moment later the three
stood together outside the hut.
A dozen samurai were running toward
Fthem from around the end of the "palace."
Che Jungle lay a nunarea yaras across the
clearing.
There was no time to ce lost.
, "You go nrst wun miss narainy," cried
"Therlere. "I'll cover our retreat with my
prevolver. following close behind you,"
Tea mucx-r caugni tne gin in ma arms,
throwing her across his shoulder. The
Mood Xtom his wounds smeared her hands
iind clothing;
"Hang ilft, kiddo," be rtd, ana started
l briA toward th toreat
Therlere kept close behind the two, re
serving his fire until It could bo effectively
dollvercd. With savage -yells the Samurai
leaped after tho escaping quarry. The na
tives all carried tho long, sharp spears of
the aboriginal head hunters. Their swords
swung In their harness, and their ancient
armor clanked ns they ran.
It was a weird picture that tho oddly
contrasted party presented as they racad
across tho clearing of this forgotten 1st
toward n Jungle ns primitive as when "the
nvonlng nnd the morning were the third
day." An American girl of the highest
social caste borne In the arms of that most
vicious of all social 'pariahs, tho criminal
mucker of the slums of a great city! and
defending them with drawn revolver, a
French count and soldier of fortune, while
In their wake streamed a yelling pack of
seven or eight half-casto demons clothed
In tho habiliments of sixteenth century
Japan nnd wielding the barbarous spears
of tho savage head-hunting aborigines
whoso flerco blood coursed In their veins
with of the descendants of Taka-ml-musu-bl-no-kaml.
Threo-quarters of the dlstanco had been
covered In safety before tho Samurai came
Within safe spear rango of tho trio. Ther
lere, seolng the danger to tho girl, dropped
back a few paces, hoping to hold tho brown
warriors from her,
The foremost of tho pursuers raised his
weapon nloft, carrying his spenrhnnd back
of his shoulder for the throw. Therlere's
rovotver spoko, and the man pitched for
ward, rolling over and over beforo he
camo to rest.
A howl of rngo went up from the Sam
Urat, nnd a half dozen spears loaped at long
range townrd Therlere. Ono of tho weap
ons transfixed his thigh, bringing him to
earth.
Byrno was at the forest's edge as the
Frenchman fell. It was tho girl, though,
who witnessed the catastrophe.
"Stopl" sho cried. "Mr. Therlero Is
down 1"
Tho mucker hatted nnd turned his head
In tho direction of tho Frenchman, who
had raised himself to one elbow and was
firing nt tho advancing enemy. Ho dropped
the girl to her feet.
"Wnlt here I" ho commnndod, and sprang
toward Therlere.
Beforo ho reached him another spear
had caught tho man full In tho chest, top
pllng him, unconscious, to thn earth. The
Samurai were rushing rapidly upon tho
wounded oltlcer It wns a question who
would reach him flrBt.
Therlero had been nipped In tho act of
roloadlng his revolver. It lay beside him
now, tho cylinder full of fresh cartridges.
The mucker wns first to hla side, and
snatching tho weapon from tho ground, fired
coolly and rapidly nt the advancing Jap
anese. Four of them went down boforo that
deadly fusillade; but the mucker cursed
beneath his breath becauso of his two
misses.
Byrne's stand checked tho brown men, of
whom only two wero left. These two had
evidently hnd enough, for they rotroatcd at
a run. Tho mucker sped them with a
couplo of shots, then lifted tho unconscious
Frenchman to his shoulder nnd boro him
bnck to the forest.
In the shelter of tho Jungle they laid him
upon the ground. To tho girl It Seemed that
the frightful wound In his chest must provo
fatal within a few moments.
Byrno. apparently unmoved by the seri
ousness of Thorlere's condition, removed tho
man's cartridge belt and buckled It about his
own waist, replacing fho six empty shells
In the revolver with lx fresh ones.
Presently he noticed tho bound and
gagged Oda Iscka lying In the brush behind
them whore ho nnd Therlero had left him.
Tho Samurai, encouraged by reinforcements,
wero now sneaking cautiously toward their
rcfugo.
A sudden Inspiration came to tho muckor.
"Didn't I hear youso chowln' do rag wit
de chinks w'on I hit do dump over dere?"
ho asked of Barbara.
The girl, oddly, understood him. Sho
nodded.
"Youso savvy delr lingo den, eh?"
"A little."
"Tell df.i gazlmbat to wlso his pals to do
fact dat I'll croak "1m If dey don't beat It
nn' let us make our get-away. Therlere
says as how ho's kink when his ole man
croaks, nn' his ole man was de guy youso
put to sleep In do chicken-coop," explained
tho mucker lucidly. "So dls slob's kink
hlsself, now."
Barbara Harding was quick to see tho
strength of tho man's suggestion. Stepping
to the edge of the clearing In full vlow of
the advancing 'enemy, with tho mucker at
her side, revolver In hand, she oallod co
them In the language of their forebears to
listen to her message. Then sho explained
that they held tho son of Oda Yorlmoto
prisoner, and that his llfo would be the
price of any further attack upon them.
Tho Samurai conferred together for a
moment, then one of them called out that
they did not bollevo her; that Oda Iseka,
son of Oda Yorlmoto, was safo In the vil
lage. "Walt I" replied tho girl. "Wo will show
him to you," and turnliv to Byrno she
asked htm to fetch the youth.
When the white man returned with the
boy in his arms a wall of mingled angulBh
nnd rngo rose from tho on.Voklng natives.
"If you molest us no fui'er we shall not
ht-rm him," cried Barbara, "and when wo
leave your Island we shall set him free ; but
renew your attack upon us and this whlto
man who holds him says that ho will cut
out his heart and feed It to tho fox I"
This was rather a blood-thirsty state
ment for so gentle a character as Barbara
Harding ; but she knew enough of tho super
stitious fours of the ancient Japanese to feel
confident that this threat would have con
siderable weight with tho subjects of the
young Lord of Yoka.
Again the natives conferred In whispers.
Finally he who had acted as spokesman
before turned toward the strangers.
"We shall not harm you," he said, "so
long as you do not harm Oda Iseka : but we
shall watch you always until you leave the
Island, and if harm befalls him then shall
you never leave, for wo shall kill you all."
Barbara translated the man's words to
the mucker,
"Do youse fall fer that?" he asked.
"I think they will be careful to make
no open assault upon us," replied the girl;
"but never for an Instant must wo cease
our watchfulness, for at the first opportun
ity I am sure that they will murder us."
They turned back to Therlere now, The
man still lay, unconscious and moaning,
where Byrne had deposited him. The muoker
removed the gag from Oda iSeka'B mouth.
"Which way Is water? Ask him," he
eald to Barbara.
The girl put the question.
"Ha says that straight up thla ravine be
hind us there is a little Bprlng," translated
the girl.
Byrne lifted Therlere In his arms, after
loosening Oda Iseka'a feet and tethering
him to his own belt with the same grass
rope; then he motioned the youth up the
ravine.
"Walk beside me," he said to Barbara
Harding, "an" keep yer lamps peeled be
hind." Thus, In silence, the party commenced

the ascent of the trnll which soon became
rough nnd precipitous, while behind them,
under cover of tho brush, sneaked four
trailing Samurai.
After half an hour of the most nrduous
climbing, the mucker commenced to feel the
effects of loss of blood from his many
wounds.
Ho coughed a little now from tho exer
tion, and when ho did the blood spurted
anew from tho fresh wound In his breast.
Yet there was no wavering or weakness
apparent to the girl who marched beside
him, and sho wondered at tho physical en
duranco of the man.
But when at last they camo to a clear
pool of water, half hidden by overhanging
rocks nnd long masses of depending mosses
In the midst of a natural grotto of enchant
ing loveliness, and Oda Iseka signaled that
their Journey was at an end, Byrne laid
Thorlero gently upon tho flower-starred
sward, and with a little gasp, collapsed,
unconscious, bcsldo tho Frenchman.
Barbara Harding was horror-stricken.
Sho suddenly realized that Bho had com
menced to feel that this giant of tho slums
was Invincible, and with the thought came
another that to him she had como to look
more than to Therlere for eventual rescue.
Now, horo she found herself In the center
of a savage Island, surrounded, as she felt
confident sho was, by skulking murderers,
with only two dying wnlte men and a brown
hostngo ns companions.
Now Oda Iscka took In tho situation, nnd
with a grin of triumph raised his voice In
a loud halloo.
"Como quickly, my people," ho cried ; "for
both tho white men aro dying 1"
From tho Jungta below them camo an an
swering shout:
"We come, Oda Isoka, Iord of Yoka I
Your faithful Samurai come !"
oiiAPTnn xiv.
The Muelier Ilecetvea n Tmit.
AT the sound of tho harsh voices so close
upon hor, Barbara Harding was gal
vanized Into Instant action. Springing
to Byrno's side, she whipped Thelrero's
revolvor from his belt, where It reposed
about tho fallen mucker's hips, and with It
turned Ilka a tigress upon tho youth.
"Quick I" sho cried. "Tell them to go
bnck that I shall kill you If they como
closer!"
Tho boy shrank back In terror beforo tho
fiery eyes and menacing nttltudo of tho
whlto girl, nnd then with the terror that
animated him ringing plainly In his voice
ho screamed to his henchmen to halt.
Itelloved for a moment at least from Im
mediate danger, Bnrbaia Harding turned
her attention toward tho two unconscious
men nt her feet. From appearances It
Boomed that either might brcnthe his last nt
any moment. As sho looked at Therlero a
wavo of compassion swept over her, and tho
tears welled to her eyes.
Yet It was to tho muckor that bIio first
ministered why, sho could not for tho llfo
of her havo explained.
Sho dashed cold water from tho spring
upon his fact. Sho bathed his wrists and
washed his wounds, tearing strips from her
skirt to bnndage tho horrid gash upon his
breast In nn effort to stanch tho flow of
blood that welled forth with tho man's
very breath.
j.wi at laHt sho was rewarded by seeing
the life-stream quelled nnd signs of re
turning consciousness appear.

COTS FOR WEEK-ENDERS
Hotel Clerks Wrinkle Noses
When Asked for "Best Accom

Sunday"
MANY RENT COTTAGES
ATLANTIC CITY, July 29. Week-end
parties aro always popular here, the In
crease In visitors at that time always being
noticeable, but from today on that class of
visitors will not be received with tho same
cordiality as at other seasons of the year.
Perplexed hotel clerks have their brains
wobbling now, In order to scheme out how
to house all tho people who want ocenn
front rooms for the whole month of August.
When, therefore thoy aro asked to furnish
the best of accommodations for people who
deslro to stay only over Sunday they nro
act to get a little peeved.
Many visitors cannot understand how tho
hotel capacity must be stretched to take
care of tho crowds which will be hero from
thla date until after Labor Day. Whllo
there la always room for late comers at the
end of the week, they need not expect tho
best In the house at this season of the
year.
Requisitions for cots havo boen In order
for the last few days and many of tho hotel
parlors, billiard rooms and ends of hallways
will look like hospitals tonight with long
rows of aots for the foolish persons who do
not arrange for rooms In advance.
The sure sign of a continued storm was
In evidence yesterday morning, a stiff wind
blowing1 from the northeast, which, accord
ing to local weather prophets, betokens
threo dayB of rain here. They wero wrong,
though, and the III wind blew a lot of good,
sending the fog and dampness scurrying
out to sea. Bright sunshine followed this
cleanup of weather conditions and nothing
but fair weather Is looked for from this
time until the next phase of the moon, ama
teurs say.
There has been a big demand for cottages
here this season and only a very small per
centage of the cottages In tho city proper,
Ventnor and Margate City have been Idle.
The location or other conditions prevented
their rental In most cases. Usually after
July 4 the demand for cottages dies out,
but this year there was no lull in the In
quiries. Many of the summer residents go
to the mountains for the month of August,
especially those who are susceptible to the
annoyances of hay fever, and In previous
years they wero compelled to close up their
summer homes here.
It Is different this season as there has
been a Bteady demand for cottages.
