party of this description, when four au
tomobllcs unloaded their occupants upon
the beach, and said occupants proceeded
" to cook a somewhat dubious supper, to
say tho least. Among tho young peo
1 plo who wore in tho party woro Esther

Altogether, It was somo party, I'm told,
I heard tho loveliest story yesterday
and, as usual, will pass It on. Ono day
last week down at Capo May tho charm
ing mother of a weo child suggested to
her French maid that Bho might llko to
take a bath In the ocean, and that if aho
, cored to, she might go In with tho wpo
daughter. Tho maid scorned quite
pleased, and tho lady thon asked her if
Bho had a bathing suit. "Mais nqn,
Madame," exclaimed Mario in horror, "I
could not wear ona of zoso immodest
short skirts; you see, I am over twenty
nvo." Madamo laughed hoartlly and dls
missed the subject, thinking there was
no moro to say. Imoglno, therefore, my
dears, her feelings when later In the day
aho perceived coming up from the beach,
holding tho small daughter by tho hand,
and walking with great dignity, nono
other than this same Mario, fully dressed,
even to tho whlto collars and cuffs, and
dripping at every "edge," so to speak,
having taken her plunge in that costume.
- Is it possible that we may be In advance,
of France In our ideas of modesty, or is
it that we have not yet caught up to
' her? NANCX WYNNE.

THE
CHAPTER XVI (Continued).
CAPTAIN NORHIS looked at the speaker
In undisguised horror.
"You?" ho cried. "You woro ono of those
d cutthroats? You tho man thnt nearly
killed poor Mr. Mallory? Miss Harding,
has ho offered you nny Indignities?"
"Don't Judge him rashly, Captain Norrls,"
said tho girl. "But for him 1 should have
been dead, nnd worse than dead, long since.
Some day I will tell you of his heroism nnd
hli chivalry And don't forget, cnptnln,
that ho 1ms Just saved you nnd Mr. Foster
from captivity and probably death,"
"Thnt's right," exclaimed tho officer, "and
I want to thank him. But I don't under
stand nbout Mallory."
"Nover mind about him now," said Billy
Byrno. "If Iic'b alive that's nil that counts.
I haven't got his blood on my hands. Go
on with your story."
"Well, nftor thnt gang of pirates left us,"
continued the captain, "wo rigged nn extra
wireless that they did not know wo had,
nnd It wasn't long before wo raised tho war
ship Alaska. Hor commander put a crew
on board the Lotus with tho machinists nnd
everything necessary to patch her up
coated and provisioned her and then lay
by while wo got her In running order. It
didn't take near ns long as you would hae
Imagined.
"Then wo act out in company with tho
warship to search for tho Clnrlnda, ns your
Captain Slmms called her.
"We made tho island and, nftcr consld
orablo search, found tho Burvhors. Each
of 'em tried to lay tho blame on tho others,
but finally they all agreed that a man by
tho nnmo of Thcrlere, with a seaman called
Byrne, had taken you Into the Interior and
that they had believed you dead until n few
days since, whon they had captured ono
of tho natives nnd learned that you had
nil escaped and were wandering In somo
port of tho Inland unknown to them."
"Then wo Bot out with n company of ma
rli.es to find you," the captain resumed
"Your father, Impatient of tho scorning slow
ness of tho offlcor In command, pushed
ahead with Mr. Mallory, Mr. Foster and
myself and two of tho men of the Lotus
whom wo had brought along with us.
"Threo days ago we wero attacked and
your father nnd Mr. Mallory taken prison
ers. The rest of us escaped and endeavored
to make our wny back to tho marines; but
we became confused and have been wander
ing nl.nlcL'jly nbout tho Island ever slnco
until wo wero surprised by tho natives a
few minute ngo. Both tho penmen wero
killed In this las fight and Mr. Foster and
myself taken prisoners. Tho rest you
know."
Byrno was on his feet now. Ho found
his sword and revolver and replaced them
in his belt
"You men stay here on tho islnnd and
tako cans of Miss Harding," ho said. "If
I don't como back tho marines will find
you sooner or later, or you can mnko your
way to tho coast nnd work around toward
tho cove. Good-by, Miss Harding."
"Where nro you going?" cried tho girl.
"To get your father and Mr. Mallory,"
said the mucker.
ciiAi'Tnn xvn
To tho Itexruf.
THROUGH 'tho bnlanco ot tho dny and
nil during tho long night Billy Byrno
swung along IiIb lonely way, retracing the
familiar steps of tho Journey that had
brought Barbara Harding and himself to
tho llttlo Island in the turbulent river.
Just before dawn ho came to tho, edge
of tht clearing behind the dwelling of tho
lato Oda Yorlmoto. Somewhere within the
silent vlllago ho wns sure that the two
prisoners lay.
During the long march ho had thrashed
over ngaln and again alt that tho success
of his rash venture would mean to him.
Of those who might conceivably stand be
tween him and the woman ho loved tho
woman who had Just acknowledged that
she loved him theso two men wero tho
most to bo feared.
But tho depth of the man's love for tho
girl and the genuineness of his new-found
character were proven beyond question by
tho relentless severity with which he put
away every thought of himself and tho
consoqucnyes to him in the matter ho had
undertaken.
Tor a moment he stood looking nt the
moon-bathed vlllago, listening for any sign
of wakefulness or life ; then, with nil tho
stealth of an Indian and with tha trained
wariness of tho thief that ho had been, tho
mucker slunk noiselessly across the clearing
to tho shadows of tho nearest hut.
Ho listened beneath tho window through
which ho and Barbara and Therlero had
mado their escape a few weeks before.
There was no sound from within. Cautious
ly ho raised himself to tho sill and a mo
ment later dropped Into tho Inky darkness
of tho Interior.
With groping hands he felt about the
room. It was unoccupied. Then ho passed
to the door at the far end; ho opened It
until n narrow crack gavo him a view of
the dimly lighted chamber beyond. Within
ull seemed asleep.
Tho mucker pushed the door still further
nnin ami stenned Inside so must he search
every hut in tlm Milage until he had found I
thoso no sougnt.

HAPPINESS AND UNHAPPINESS
Dearest Children It's just as hard work being happy as it is unhappy.
It's just as easy to bo happy as it is to be unhappy.
You must work to be happy and you must work, fret and stew to be un
happy. Happiness is "catchine!"
Unhappiness is "catching" too, but it is like scarlet fever, it makes every
one want to stay away from you.
Do you know, I believe lots of people take pleasure in being unhappy.
You feel sorry if you try to make them happy.
Most children ARE happy, because they are natural. They laugh and enjoy
the joy of living.
Some people do not dare laugh. It might hurt their faces.
Try the Happy Habit. It's easy.
Let us not take things quite so seriously.
Carry tho thought around with you it takes just as much work to be un
happy as it does to be happy. When I am happy, people love me; when I am
unhappy, people do not like me, and I hate myself.
SO THERE! FARMER SMITH, Children's Editor.

Tho front room revealed no clue to tho
missing men. Within tho smaller rear
room Byrne heard the subdued hum of
whispered conversation just ns ho was
about to open the door. Like a grnven
imago he stood In silence, his car glued
to the frail door. For a moment ho listened
thus, and then his heart gave a throb of
exultation, and he could have shouted
aloud In thankglvlng tho men Inside were
conversing In English.
Quietly Byrne pushed open tho door far
onough to ndmtt his body. Tho whispering
censed immediately.
Byrne closed tho door behind him, ad
vancing until ho felt one of Uio occupants
of tho room.
Tho man shrank from his touch.

brought armed Samurai to every door with
a celerity that was uncanny. In another
moment the fugitives found themseUes Bur

cut at them with longswords from every
side, blocking their retreat nnd hemming
them In In every direction.
Byrno called to his companions to close

way toward tho end of tho narrow street
and tho junglo beyond. Tho mucker fought
with his iongsword In ono hand and Tho

toward freedom for tho two men who he
knew would take his loo from him.
Out of the vlllago street they came at
last into the clenrlng. Tho warriors danced
about them, yelling threats and taunts the

quartors that they might deliver a swift
sword cut and retreat again before the

Fifty feet from the jungle Mallory went
down with a spear through tho calf of his
leg. Byrne saw him fall, and, dropping
back, lifted tho man to his feet, supporting
him with one nrm ns the two backed slowly
In front of the on-pressing natives.

when the host entirely surrounded the three

"You'll have to, though," replied Billy.
'That's part of tin? scheme. It won't work

BILLY BUMPUS' GREAT SCHEME
By Farmer Smith
The bees were all quiet again in Goat
llle and the Goats were were able to walk
around in peace.
Billy Bumpus called together a few of
his friends to suggest another means of
going after "the enemy," as he called them.
No one quite knew who the enemy was
except Billy himself.
After they were all seated, Billy arose
and said, "Now that we are here it seems
to me It would be a good Idea to adopt
some means of defense as well as offense,"
"What kind of a fence Is a 'defense'?"
asked Jeremiah Goat.
"When we go after the enemy, we are
on the offensive and when they come after
us we are on the defensive,'" explained
Billy.
"I don't like either of those fences,"
Jeremiah said.
"I propose that we surround Goatvllle
with fly paper, bo that the enemy may be
stopped before they get near us." Billy was
ery proud of his idea.
"Great 1" exclaimed Jeremiah, poking
Teddy Goat In the ribs. "But who's going
to supply the fly paper!"
"Why why of course, as I am heading
tho expedition I will have to stand the ex
pense of the fly paper." Billy had not
thought of the expense.
"Very good," said Jeremiah, "we will be
at your house tomorrow night and you have
the fly paper ready."
The meeting then broke up.

Too f nte.
BILLY BYRNE continued to fire Inter
mittently for half an hour after the two
men had left htm. Then bo fired Several
shots In quick succession, and, dragging
himself to his hands and knees, crawled la
boriously and painfully back Into tho Jungle
In search of n htdlng-placo where ho might
dio in peace.
Ho had progressed somo hundred yards
whon h felt the earth give way beneath
him Ito clutched frantically about fortmp
pprt; but there was nono and with n sick
ening lunge ho plunged downward Into
Stygian darkness.
Ills fall was n short one, and he brought
up with a painful thud nt tin bottom of a
deer pit a covered trap which the natives
dig to catch their fleet-footed prey.
The pain of his wounds after tho foil
was excruciating Ills head whirled dizzily.
Ho knew thnt ho wns dying, nnd then all
went black
When conrclousnt?s returned to the
mucker It was daylight The sky above
shone through the ragged hole that hi3 fall
ing bodv had broken 'in tho pit's covering

"Gee!" muttered tho mucker. "And I
thought that I was dead!"
Ills wound lnd censed to bleed, but he
wan very wenk nnd rttff nnd gore.
But he didn't "croak." Instead he grew
stronger, and toward evening the pangs of
hunger and thirst drove him to consider
means for escap ng from hla. hiding place
nnd searching for food and water.
He waited until after datk, and then he
crawled with tho utmost dlftlculty from the
deep pit. He had heard nothing of the
natives sinco tho night before, and now In
the open there came to him but tho faint
sounds of the vlllago llfo across the clear
ing. Byrne dragged himself toward tho trail
thnt led to the, spring whero poor Therlero
had died. It took him a long time to reach
It, but at last he was successful. The
clear, cold water helped to revive and
strengthen him.
Then he sought' food. Some wild fruit
partially satisfied him. for the moment, and
ho commonccd the, laborious task of re
tracing his steps toward "Manhattan
Island." T
Tho trail that ho had passed over In 15
hours as he had hastened to the rescue of
Anthony Harding and Billy. Mallory re
quired the better part iof threo days now.
Occasionally, 'he wondered why he was
traversing it, anyway. Hadn t ho wanted
to dio nnd leave Barbara free?
BUt life is sweeU and tho red blood still .
flowed strongly in tho volns of the mucker;
"I can't have her," he said. "She Isn't
for tho likes of mo. But if I can't live with
her, I can live for her as she'd want me
to live; nnd, s'help me, those words '11
