In a trphoon In the China Sen. Amonir thosj
on board are Iris Deane. the onlr daughter of
Sir Arthur Deane, owner of the company, and
mr jonn ana knay Toser, friends or me Lienncn.
During a comersatlon In the union before the
storm Lady Tojer nsks Iris when she l to
marry Lord Ventnor, At thta question an ae
elstant steward sashing br becomes so nervous
that he pours some Ice down Sir John's head.
Tho Sirdar has skillfully ridden through tha
worst of the typhoon and Is proceeding with
oomparattve safety, when It strikes a disabled
Chinese Junk. As the small vessM whirls about
In the sea, It crashes Into the Sirdar's rudder,
and tho liner drifts helplessly upon some rocks,
where It la torn asunder. Iris and Robert Jenks,
the steward who was so deeply affected by the
mention of Lord Ventnor's name, are the only
survivors. They find themselves upon a desert
Island.
Jenks In exploring the Island finds a quarry
with a number of skeletons. He then starts to
salvage as much of the wreckage as possible.
Tho rescue work Is baited for n meat.
CIIAl'TKIl lit (Continued)
T CAN depend on my ringers," he ox
JL plained. "It wilt not bo tha first tlmo."
"Havo you led an adventurous llfo?" sho
asked, by way of polite conversation.
"No," he growled.
"1 only thought so because you appear to
know all sorts of dodgos for prolonging
existence things I novcr heard of."
Broiled horn and biscuits for In
stance?" At nnothor tlmo Iris would have snapped
nt him for tho retort. Still humbly regret
ful for her previous attltudo sho answered
meekly
"Yes, In this manner of cooking them, I
mean. But thore nro other Items mothods
of lighting fires, finding wnter, knowing
What fruits and other article-) may bo found
on a desert Island, such as plantains and
cocoanuts, certain sorts of birds and
bcclio-dc-mer."
For tho llfo of her sho could not toll why
sho tacked on that weird Item to her list.
Tho sailor Inquired, moro civilly "Then
you nro acquainted with trepang?"
"Who?"
'Trepang bcchc-do-mcr, you know."
Iris made a desperate guess. "Yes," sho
said, demurely. "It makes beautiful backs
for hair brushes. And It looks so nice as
a framo for platlnotypo photogrnphs. I
have "
Jenks swallowed a largo ptcco of ham
and beenmo very red. At last ho managed
to say "I beg your pardon. You nro think
ing of tortolso shell. Bcche-do-mer Is a
sort of marlno slug."
"How odd I" said Iris.
Sho had discovered at an early ago tho
tactical value of this remark, and tho ox
perienco of maturer years confirmed tho
succoss of Juvenllo efforts to upset tho
equanimity of governesses. Even the sailor
was silenced.
Talk ceased until tho meal was ended.
Jenks sprang lightly to his feet. Rest and
food had restorod his faculties. Tho girl
thought dreamily, as he stood thero In hli
rough nttlro. that sho had never Been a
f.nor man. Ho was tall, slnowy and well
formed. In repose hl3 faco wns pleasant,
If masterful. Its nomowhnt sullen, self
contained expression was occasional and
acquired. Sho wondered how ho could bo
so energetic. Personally sho was consumed
with sleepiness.
Ho produced a revolver.
Do you mind If I flro n shot to test
those cartridges?" he inquired. Tho
powder Is all right, but tho fulmlnato In tho
caps may bo damaged."
She agreed promptly. Ho pointed tho
weapon at a cluster of cocoanuts, nnd thero
was a loud report. Two nuts fell to tho
ground, and tho nlr was tilled with shrill
screams nnd tho flnpplng of Innumernblo
wings. Iris was momentarily dismayed,
but her senses confirmed tho sailor's ex
planation "Sea birds."
He reloaded tho empty chamber and
was about to say something, when a queer
Bound, exactly resembling the gurgling of
water potlred from a largo bottle, fell upon
their ears. It camo from the Interior of
tho grove, and tho two exchanged a look
of amazed questioning. Jenks took n hasty
step In the direction of tho noise, but ho
stopped and laughed nt his own expense
Iris liked tho sound of his mirth. It was
genuine, not forced.
"I remember now," he explained. "Tho
wou-wou monkey cries In that peculiar
warble. Tho presence of tho animal hero
shows that tho Island has boon Inhabited
at somo time."
"You remember?" repeated tho girl. Then
you havo been In this part of the world be
fore 7"
"No, I mean I havo read about It."
Twice In half an hour had ho curtly de
clined to Indulge In personal romtnlscences,
"Can you use a revolver?" he went on.
"My father taught me. Ho thinks every
woman should know how to defend her
solf If need be."
"Excellent. Woll, Miss Deane, you must
try to sleep for a couple of hours. I pur
pose examining tho coast for somo distance
on each side. Should you want me, a shot
will bo the best sort of signal."
"I am very tired," she admitted. "But
you?"
"Oh, I am all right, I feel restless ; that
Is, I mean I will not be able to Bleep until
night comes, and before we climb the hill
to survey our domain I want to find better
quarters than wo now possess."
Perhaps, were she less fatigued, Bhe would
havo caught the vague anxiety, the note
of distrust, In his voice. But the carpet
of sand nnd leaves on which she lay was
very seductive. Her eyes closed. She
nestled Into a comfortable position, and
Blcpt
Tho man looked at her steadily for a little
while. Then ho moved the revolver out of
harm's way to a spot where she must see
it Instantly, pulled his sou'wester well over
his eyes and walked oft quietly.
They were flung ashore on the northwest
side of the Island. Except for the cove
formed by the coral reef, with Its mysterious
palm tree growing apparently in the midst
of the waves, the shape of the coast was
roughly that of the concave side of a bow,
the two visible extremities being about
three-quarters of a mile apart.
He guessed, by the way In which the sea
raced past these points, that the land did
not extend beyond thwrt. Behind him. It
rose steeply to a considerable height, 160
or 200 feet In the center was the tallest
hlllfhlch seemed to end abruptly toward
the Lthwest. On the northeast side It
was''connected with a rocky promontory
by a ridge of easy grade. The sailor turned
to the southwest, as offering the most
likely direction for rapid survey.
He followed the line of vegetation; there
the ground was firm and level. There was
no suggestion of the mariner's roll in his
steady gait. Alter his clothing, change the
heavy boots Into spurred Wellingtons, and
he would be the beau ideal of a cavalry
soldier, the order of Melchlsedeo In the pro
fession of arms.
He was not surprised to find that the hill
terminated In a sheer wall of rock, which
stood out, ominous and massive, from the
wealth of verdure clothing the remainder of
a.. ln. VaHniy tha nwwlnlort. and nn.

Twenty feet above the Be a level In the high
est part, was another rock-built eminence,
quite bare of trees, blackened by tho
weather and Bcarred In a manner that
attested the attacks of lightning.
He whistled softly, "By Jovel" ho said.
Volcanlo and highly mineralized."
The intervening belt was sparsely dotted
with trees, casuarlnas, popn, and other
woods ho did not know, resembling ebony
and cedar. A number of stumps showed
that the axe had been at work, but not re
cently. He passed into the cleft and
climbed a tree that offered easy access. As
ha expected, after rising a few feet from
tha ground, bis eyes encountered the solemn
blue line of the sea, not half a mile distant.
n descended and commenced a syste-
matlo search. Men had been hers. Was
there a house? Would be suddenly enooun-
ter some hermit Malay or Chinaman?

At the foot of tho main cliff was a eluitcr
of fruit-bearing trees, plantains, nreca nuts,
and cocoa palms. A couple of cinchonas
caught his eye. In ono spot tho undergrowth
was rank and vividly green. The cassava,
or tapioca plant, reared Its high, passion
flower leaven abovo tho grass, nnd somo
sago palms thrust aloft tholr thick-stemmed
trunks.
"Hero Is a change of menu, nt any rnto,"
ho communed.
Breaking a thick branch oft a poon tree
ho whittled away tho minor steins. A
strong stick wns needful to explore that
leafy fnstncs3 thoroughly.
A fow cautious strides nnd vigorous
whacks with tho slick laid bare the cnuso
of such prodigality In a soil covered w th
drifted sand and lumps of black nnd whlto
speckled coral. Tho treei and bushes en
closed a well safeguarded It, In fact, from
being choked with sand during tho first gnlo
that blew.
Delighted with this discovery, moro
precious than diamonds nt tho moment,
for ho doubted tho advisability of existing
on tho wnter supply of tho pitcher plant, ho
knelt to peer Into tho excavation. Tho well
had been properly made. Ton feet down ho
could sco tho reflection of his face. Expert
handi had tapped tho secret roscrvolr of tho
Island. By stretching to the full extent of
his arm, ho manngod to plunge tho stick
Into the water. Tasting the drops, he found
that they wero qulto sweet. Tho sand nnd
porous rock provided the best of filter beds.
Ho roso, well pleased, and noted that on
tho opposlto side tho appearance of tho
shrubs nnd tufts of long grass Indicated
tho existence! of tho grown-ovcr path to
ward tho cliff.
Ho followed It, walking .carelessly, with
oyes seeking tho prospect beyond, whon
something rattled and cracked beneath his
foot Looking down, ho was horrified to
find ho wns trampling on a skeleton.

thine there!"
Had a venomous snako colled Its glis
tening folds atound his leg ho would not
havo been moro startled. But this man
of Iron nerve soon recovered. He frowned
deeply after tho first Involuntary heart
throb.
With tho stick ho cleared away the under
growth, and revealed tho skeleton of a
man. Tho bones wero big and strong, but
oxidized by the action of the air. Jenks
had Injured the left tibia by his 'tread,
but throe fractured ribs and a smashed
shoulder blade told some terrible unwritten
story.
Beneath the mournful relics were frag
ments of decayed cloth. It was blue serge.
Lying about wero a few blackoncd objects
braBs buttons marked with an anchor. Tho
dead man's boots were In the best Btate
of preservation, but the leather had shrunk
and tho nails protruded like fangs.
A rusted pocket knife lay there, and on
tho left breast of tho skeleton rested a
round piece of tin, the top of a canister,
which might have reposed in a coat pocket.
Jenks picked It up. Some curious marks
and figures were punched Into Its surface.
After a hasty glance he put it aside for
moro leisurely examination.
No weapon was visible. He conld form
no estimate as to tho cause of the death
of this poor ur.known, nor the time slnco
tho tragedy had occurred.
Jenks must havo stood many minutes
before ho perceived that the skeleton was
headless. At first he Imagined that In rum
maging about with tho stick he had dis
turbed the ukull. But the most minute
search demonstrated that It had gone, had
been taken away, In fact, for tho plants
which so effectually screened tho lighter
bones would not permit the Bkull to vanish.
Then tho frown on the sailor's face be
came threatening, thunderous. He recol
lected the rusty krlss. Indistinct memories
of strange tales of the China Sea crowded
unbidden to his brain.
"Dyaksl" he growled fiercely. "A ship's
officer, an Englishman probably, murdered
by head-hunting Dyak pirates I"
If they came onco they would come again.
Five hundred yards away Iris Deane was
Bleeping. He ought not to have left her
alone. And then, with the dkvllum Ingenu
ity of coincidence, a revolver Bhot awoke
tho echoes, and sent all manner of wildfowl
hurtling through the trees with clamorous
outcry.
Panting and wild-eyed, Jenks was at the
girl's side In an inconceivably short space
of time. She was not beneath the shelter
of the grove, but on the sands, gazing,
pallid in cheek and Up, at the group of
rocks on the edge of the lagoon.
"What Is the matter?" he gasped.
"Oh. I don't know," she walled brokenly,
"I had a dream, such a horrible dream.
You were struggling with some awful thing
down there." Sho pointed to the rocks.
"I was not near the place." he said labor
iously. It cost him an effort to breathe.
His broad chest expanded inches with each
respiration.
"Yes, yes, I understand. But I awoke
and ran to save you. When I got here I
saw something, a thing with waving arms,
and fired. It vanished, and then you
came."
The sailor walked slowly to the rocks.
A fresh chip out of the stone showed where
the bullet struck. One huge boulder was
wet, as If water had been splashed over It
He halted and looked Intently Into the wa
ter. Not a fish was to be seen, but small
sDlrals of sand were eddying up from the
bottom, -whero It shelved steeply from the
chore.
( r-- Tr c? jtfl

Irli followed him. "See." sho cried ex
citedly. "I wns not mistaken. Thero was
something hero "
A creepy sfensatlon ran up tho man's
spino nnd passed behind his ears. At this
spot tho drowned lasenrs weio lying. Like
an inspiration came the knowledge that
tho cuttlefish, tho dreaded octopuB, abounds
In tho China Sea.
His fnco was livid when he turned to
Iris. "You nro overwrought by fatigue.
Miss Dcnns," he Bftld. "What you saw
was probably a seal"; ho know the ludi
crous substitution would not be questioned.
"Plenso go and Ho down again."
"I cannot," sho protested. "I am too
frightened."
"Frightened I By a dreamt In broad
daylight !"
"But why nro you so pale? What has
alarmed you 7"
"Can you ask? Did you not give tho
ngrocd signal?"
"Yes, but "
Iter Inquiring glanco fell. Ho was breath
less from agitation rnthcr than running.
Ho was perturbed on her account. For nn
Inptnnt sho had looked Into his soul.
"I will go back," oho said quietly, "though
I would rather accompany you. Whnt are
you doing?"
"Seeking a placo to lay our heads," ho
nnswered, with gruff carelessness. "You
really must rest. Miss Deane. Otherwise
you will bo broken up by fatlguo and be
como 111."
So Iris ng.atn sought her couch of sand,
nnd tho sailor returned to tho skeleton.
They separated unwillingly, each thinking
of tho other's safety nnd comfort. The
girl knew she was not wanted becnuso the
mnn wished to Bparo her somo unpleasant
experience She obeyed him with a sigh
and sat down, not to sleep, but to muso, as
girls will, lound-cyed, wistful, with tho
angelic fantasy of youth nnd Innocence

ACROSS tho parched bones lay the Btlck
JCx discarded by Jenks in his alarm. He
picked It up and resumed his progress
along tho pathway. So closely did ho now
rximlno tho ground that he hardly noted
his direction. The track led straight to
ward tho wall of rock. Tho distance was
not great about forty yards. At first tho
brushwood Impeded him, but soon even this
hindrance disappeared, and a well-defined
passago meandered through a belt of trees,
somo strong and lofty, others quite imma
ture. Moro bushes gathered at the foot of the
cliff. Behind them ho could see the mouth
of a cave ; tho six months' old growth of,
vegetation about tho entrance. gave clMir'
Indication ns to the time which had elapsed
slnco a human foot last disturbed the soli
tude. A fow vigorous blows with the stick
cleared away obstructing plants nnd leafy
branches. Tho sailor stooped and looked
Into tho cavern, for the opening was barely
five feet high. Ho perceived instantly that
tho excavation was man's handiwork, ap
plied to a fault in the hard rock. A sort
of natural shaft existed and this had been
extended by manual labor. Beyond tho
entrance the cave became more lofty. Owing
to Its position with reference to the sun
at that hour Jenks Imagined that sufficient
light would bo obtainable when the tropical
luxuriance of foliage outside was dispensed
with.
At present the Interior was dark. With
the stick ho tapped the walls and roof.
A startled cluck and the rush of wings
heralded the flight of two -birds, alarmed
by tho noise. Soon his eyes, more accus
tomed to the gloom, mado out that the
placo was about thirty feet deep, ten feet
wide In the center, and seven or eight feet
high.
At tho further end was a collection of
objects inviting prompt attention. Each

moment he could Be with greater distinct
ness. Kneeling on oho sldo of tho little pile
ho discerned that on n large stone, serving
as n rudo bench, were some tin Utensils,
somo knives, a sextant and a quantity of
empty cartridge caRcs. Between the stona
and what a miner terms tho "faea" of the
rock was a four-foot space. Hero, half
Imbedded In tho hand which covered the
floor, wero two pickaxes, n shovel, a Medge
hammer, a fine timber-felling nx nnd three
crowbars.
In tho darkest corner of tho cave's ex
tremity tho "wall" appeared to be very
smooth. Ho prodded with tho stick, nnd
thero wns a sharp clang of tin. Ho dis
covered six square korosenc-oll cases care
fully stacked up. Three wero empty, one
seemed to bo half full, nnd tha contents of
two wero untouched. With almost feverish
haste ho ascertained that the half-filled tin
did really contain oil.
"What a find V ho ejaculated aloud, An
other pair of birds dnshed from a ledge
near the roof.
"Confound you !" choutcd tho sailor. He
sprang back and whacked tho walls vic
iously, but all tho feathered Intruders had
gone.
So far as he could Judge tho cavo har
bored no further surprises. Returning to
word tho exit his boots dislodged more
empty cartridges from tho Band. They
were shells adapted to a revolver of heavy
caliber, At n short dlstnnco from tho door
way they were present In dozens.

By the Photoplay Editor
What promises to be one of tho notewor
thy film Journeys of the year was started
last week, when Edgar Lewis and an all
star company of Lubln players arrived tn
tho Yukon country, Alaska, nnd started
work on "Tho Barrier," a special V-t-S0
release, which Is bolng adapted from the
popular novel of that name by Hex Deach.
A special train, consisting of three Cars -'a
Pullman, n day coach and a baggage car
was hired to tako the company to the
country In which tho navel Is laid. It Is the
Intention of Director Lewis to ubo, wherever
pots ble, the exact scenes and locations that
appear In tho novel.
The baggage car on the train was filled
up by the Lubln mechanics as n testing
room. As the various scenes are taken they
will be carried overland to the bnggago car,
which wtll bo left on a railroad siding,
whero thoy will be tested. In this manner
Director LowIb will fortify himself against
having bad scenes In his finished product
when ho returns to the East.
W. Christy Cabanne, for seven years as
sociate director with D. W. Griffith, who
has signed a long-time contract with tha
Metro Corporation, begins work this month
directing Krnncls X. Bushman nnd Beverly
Bnyno In their new serial, ob yet unnamed,
which will bo released by Metro in 14 epi
sodes In two reels each.
Beginning September 1 tho Universal
Film Manufacturing Company adopted the
daylight conservation plan now In force In
Oermany nnd other European nations. Em
ployes report at 8 a. m. Instead of at 9
a. m., nnd quit work at 4:30 p. m. Instead
of at 61.10 p. m.
Tho Raving on elcctrla light bills both at
Universal City, Cat., whero the moving plo
turo company's plant Is located, and In the
Now York offices of tho concern at 1600
Broadway by tho Installation of tho plan
Is expected to amount to thousands of dol
lars each year.
Contracts have been signed by Para
mount with two comedy producing com
panies for Blnglo reel comedies to bo re
leased weekly by tho Paramount Pictures
Corporation, and Bhown first nt tho Stanley.
Tho producing companies are tho Klosslo
DlMuraa lnp. nrnrliietnflr the lC1a8stO ICom-
cdles, nnd tho United States Motion Piov"v
turo Corporation, producing tho Black Dla- Wi"
mond Comedies. Tho first releaso will be
issued September 2B.
Tho addition of comedies to the single
reel releases of Paramount Pictures Cor
poration rounds out their service.
