NANCY WYNNE CHATS ABOUT MANY
THINGS OF SOCIAL IMPORTANCE
Plana for Introduction of Future Debutantes Are in the
Ascendant at Present New Dates Are
Arranged Each Day
AS TIME goes on I roallxe that th
Xdebutontes are ones more to bo tho
whole thing socially, and. It Is with per
fectly welt-warranted Interest that I should
begin to look about and ace Just who Is to
be Introduced and who Is related to who
in the coming onslaught of new lights In
the social whirl. It Is nmustng to noto
how many different dates are given out
by friends of those concerned as to the
dy decided on for the great event. There's
Kathcrlne Lea, for Instance; I under
stand the data for her debut Is not abso
lutely decided upon, and yet I Iiavo been
told by various Interested friends, first
that It Is to be October 20, then October
4 and now Octobor 14; well, when I finally
do know the date, I will surely put on
jny very bestcst and go, for If Kathcrlne
h as popular as her parents she will be
a great success.
Emily Welsh Is another very attractive
debutanto who will mako her bow to so
ciety In October, and I bellove tho (Into
I. for her tea nas Deen scttiea ror October
j, 16. Emily Is a sister of Mrs. Louis
Madeira, who was Marls welsh; Bho Is
tho daughter, of the lato Sam Welsh and
a nleco of Mrs. Archibald Thomson and
Mrs. William Twclls Tiers, who wore Sam
Welsh's half sisters. Her mother married
Mr. Henry T. Dixon, whoso brother-in-law
and sister, Mrs. Arthur Newbold, will
Introduce their daughter Dorothy In Octo
ber, and It Is very likely, though there Is
no relationship between the two debs,
there will be double entertaining for
them, as they nro great friends. Emily
has been visiting tho Kcwbolds nt their
camp In tho Adlrondacks this summer.
The Borle family will be represented
by Patty, the only daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Beauveau Borle, Jr. It Is many
years since thero has been a dobutnnto In
the Borle family, for, though thore have
been plenty of Rhodes and Phoebe Dcrr
In tho Lewis family and the Charlie
Borlcs have many sons, there has not
been a deb of the Borle namo since
Tatty's aunt, Emily, who married George
Beale, of Boston, was Introduced in the
old Borle homo at Eleventh nnd Spruco
streets. Patty's mother was Miss Nannie
Newbold, a slstor of John Newbold, who
married Virginia Campbell; so you sco

CHAPTKR IV Conllnued
"rpiin remnants of a fight," ho thought.
J. "Tho man was attacked, ntid defended
himself here. Not expecting the nrrlval of
enemies ho provided no store of food or
water. He was killed while trying to reach
the well, probably nt night."
Ho Mvldly pictured the scene a brave,
hardy European keeping at bay n, boatload
of Dyak savages, enduring mntifully tho
ngonlea of hunger, thirst, perhaps wound.
Then the siege, followed by wild effort
to gain the life-giving well, tho hiss of a
Stklay parang wielded by a lurking foe,
and the Inst despairing struggle beforo
death came.
He might be mistaken. Perchance there
was a less dramatic exportation. But ho
could not shake oil his first Impressions.
They were garnered from dumb etldenco
and developed by some occult but over
whelming sense of certainty.
"What wns tho poor devil doing here?"
ho asked. "Whv did he bury himself In
this rock, with mln'ng utensils nnd a few
rough stores? Ho could not be n castaway.
Thero Is tho Indication of purpose, of prep
aration, of method combined with Ignor
ance, for nono who knew tho ways of Dyaks
nnd Chinese pirates would venture to llvo
hero alone. If he could help It, nnd If he
really wcro alone." The thing wns a mys
tery, would probably remain a mystery for
over.
"Be It steel or bo It lead.
Anyhow the man Is dead,"
Thero was roUef In hearing his own voice.
He could hum' and think and act. Arming
himself with the ax he attacked the bushes
and branches of trees In front of tho cavo.
Ho cut a fresh appronch to tho well, nnd
threw the litter over the skeleton. At first
he was Inclined to bury It where It lay,
but he disliked the Idea of Iris walking
unconsciously over the place. No time could
be wasted that day. He would seize an
early opportunity to act as grave-digger.
After nn nbsenco of little more than an
hour he rejoined tho girl. She saw him
from nfar, and wondered whence he ob
tained tho ax he Bhouldered.
"You are a successful explorer," she cried
when he drew near.
"Yes, Miss Denne, 1 have found water.
Implements, a shelter, even light."
"What sort of light spiritual or ma
terial?" "Oil "
"Oh !"
Iris could not remain serious for many
comecutlvo minutes, but she gathered that
he was In no mood for frivolity.
"And tho shelter Is It a house?" she
continued.
"No, n cavo. If you are sufficiently rested
you might come and take possession."
Her eyes danced with excitement. He
told her what ho bad seen, with reserva
tions, nr' she ran on before him to witness
these marvels.
"Why did you make a new path to the
well?," sho Inquired nfter a rapid survey.
"A new path!" Tho pertinent question
staggered him.
"Yes, the people who lived here must
have had somo sort of free passage."
He lied easily. . "I have only cleared
away recent growth," he said.
"And why did they dig a cavo? It surely
would bn much moro simple to build a house
from all these trees."
"There you puzzle me,'! he said frankly.
They had entered the cavern but a little
way and now came out. ,
"These empty cartridges are funny.' They
suggest a fort, a battle." Woman-like, her
words were carelessly chosen, but they wero
crammed with Inductive force.
Embarked on tho toboggan slope of un
truth, the sailor slid smoothly downward,
"Events have colored your Imagination,
Sllss Denne. Kvii in England men often
preserve such things for future use They
can be reloaded."
"Yes, I have Been keepers do that. This
Is different. There Is an air of "
"Thore Is a lot to be done," broke in Jack
emphatlcaly. "We must climb the hill and
get back here In time to light another fire
before the sun goes down. I want to prop
a canvas sheet In front of the cave and try
to devise a lamp"
"Must I sleep Inside?" demanded Iris.
Tes. Where else?"
There was a pause, a mere whiff of awk
wardness. '
"I will mount guard outside," went on
Jenks. He was trying to Improve the edge
of the ax by grinding It on a soft stone.
The girl-went Into the cave again. She
was Inquisitive, uneasy,
"That arrangement " she began, but
ended In a sharp cry of terror. The dis
possessed birds had returned during the
sailor's absence.
"I will kill them." he shouted In anger.
"Please don't. There has been enough of
death In this place already."
The words Jarred on his ears. Then he
felt that she could only allude to the vic
tims of the wreck.
"I was going to eay," she explained, "that
we must devise a partition. There Is no
help for it until you construct a sort of
house. Candidly, I do not like this hole In
the rock. It Is a vault, a tomb."
"You told me that I was In command, yet
you dispute my orders." He strove hard tt.
appear brusquely good-humored. Indifferent,
though for one of his mold he was ab
surdly Irritable, The cause was over
strain, but that explanation escaped him.
"Quite true. But If sleeping in the cold.
In dew or rain Is bad for me, It mutt be
equally bad for you. And without you I am
helpless, you know."
His arms twitched to give her a reassur
ing hug. In some reapects she was ao child
like; her big blue eyes were so Ingenuous.
Ho laughed sardonically, and the harah
note clashed with her frank candor. Here,
at least, she was utterly deceived. His
changeful moods were incomprehensible.
"I will serve you to the best of my ability,
Sllss Deane." he exclaimed. "We mutt hope
for a speedy rescue, and J am Inured to
exposure. It is otherwise with you. Are
you ready for the climb?"
Mechanically, she picked up a stick at
her feet. It was the sailor's wand of In
vestigation. He snatched It from her hands
and threw It away among the trees.
"That Is a dangerous alpenstock," he
said. "The wood Is unreliable. It might
break. I will cut you a hotter one," and
he swung the ax agalntt a tall sapling
Iris mentally described him as "funny,"
She followed him In the upward curve of
the aacent, for the grada was not difficult
and the ground smooth entugh, the storms
of years' having pulverUtJ the rock and
i.rlven aand into Its clefts. The persistent
Inroads of the trees bad dona the, rest: Be
yond the flight of blrda and the scampering
of some tiny monkeys oyerhaad, they did
not disturb a living creature,

of some poon trees provided nn open space
elevated nbove the ridge.
For n short dlstnnco the foothold was
precarious. Jenks helped the girl In this
part of tho climb. His strong, gentle grnsp
gac her confidence. Sho was Hushed with
exertion when they stood together on the
summit of this elevated porch. They could
look to every point of the compass except
a small section on the southwest. Here the
trees rose behind them until the brow of
the precipice was reached.
The emergence Into a sunlit panorama of
land nnd sea, though expected, was pro
foundly enthralling, They appeared tu
stand nlmost exactly In the center of the
Island, which wns crescent shaped. It wns
no larger than the sailor had estimated.
The new slopes now rovealcd were covered
with the verdure down to tho very edgo of
the water, which, for nearly a mile sea
ward, broke over Jagged reefs. The sea
looked strangely calm from this height. Ir
regular bltio patches on the horizon to
south nnd east caught tho man's first
glanco. Ho unslung the binoculars ho still
carried nnd focused them eacerly.
"Islands 1" he cried, "and big ones, too I"
"How oddl" whispered Iris, moro con
cerned In the scrutiny of her Immediate sur-
sallor felled several young trees. He wanted
poles, and theee were tho right size nnd
shape, He soon cleared a considerable,
space. The timber was soft and so small
In girth that three cuts with the ax usually
suinccd. He dragged from the beach the
smallest tarpaulin he could find, and
propped It ago 'list the rock In such man
nor that tt effectually screened the mouth
of the caxe, though admitting light nnd air.
Ho wns so busy that hn paid little heed
to Iris. But tho odor of fried ham wns
wafted to him. He was lifting a couple
of heavy stones to stay tho eanas and
keep .t from Dipping In the wind, when tho
girl called out:
"Wouldn't you llko to havo n wash be
foro dinner?"
Ho straightened himself nnd looked nt
her. Her face and hnnds wcro shining,
spotless. Tho chnngo was so great that
his brow wrinkled with perplexity.
"I. am a good pupil," nho cried. "You
see I am already learning to help myself.
I made a bucket out of ono of tho dish
covers by slinging It In two ropes. An
other dish cover, some sand nnd leaves
supplied basin, aoap and towel. I have
cleaned tho tlncups and the knives, and
see, here Is my greatest treasure."
Sho'hcld a cup to his mouth, nnd he obediently strove to uwnllow
the contents.
roundlngs. Jenks glanced at her sharply.
She wns not looking at the Islands, but at
a curious hollow; a quarry-like depression
beneath them to the right, distant about
three hundred yards and not fnr removed
from the small plateau containing tho well,
though Isolated from It by the south angle
of the main cliff.
Here, In a great circle, there was not a
vcstlgo of grass, shrub, or tree, nothing
save brown rock and sand. At first tho
sailor deemed It to be the drled-up bed of a
small lako. This hypothesis would not
serve, else It would bo choked with verdure.
The pit stared up at them like an
ominous eye, though nolther paid further
attention to tt, for the glorious prospect
mapped at their feet momentarily awept
aside all other considerations.
"What a beautiful place 1" murmured
Iris. "I wonder what it is called."
"Limbo."
Tho word camo Instantly. The Bailor's
gaze was again fixed on those distant blue
outlines. Sllss Deane was dissatisfied.
"Nonsense 1" she exclaimed, "We are not
dead yet. You must And a better namo than
that."
"Well, suppose we christen It Rainbow
Island?"
"Why 'Rainbow'?"
"That Is the English meaning of 'Iris,'
In Latin, you know."
"So It Is. How clever of you to think of
It! Tell me, what Is the meaning of
'Robert,' ln-Greek?"
Ho turned to survey tho northwest side
of the Island. "I do not know," he answered.
"It might not be far-fetched to translate It
as 'a ship's steward ; a menial,' "
Sllss Iris had meant her playful retort'
as a mere llght-henrted quibble. It an
noyed her, a young person of much con
sequence, to havo her kindly condescension
repelled,
"I suppose so," she agreed; "but I have
gone through so much In a few hours that
I am bewildered, apt to forget these nice
distinctions."
Wero these two quarreling, or flirting?
Who can tell?
Jenks was closoly examining the rcof on
which the Sirdar struck. Some equaro ob
jects were visible near the palm tree. The
sun, glinting on the waves, rendered It
dllllcult to discern their significance
"What do you make of those7" he In
quired, handing the glasses, and blandly
Ignoring Miss Deane'a petulance. Her
Drain was busy with other things while
the twisted the binoculars to suit her
vision. Rainbow Island Iris It was a nice
conceit. But "menial" struck a discordant
note. This man was no menial in appear
ance or speech. Why was ho so deliberately
rude?
"t think they are boxes or packing
cases," she announced.
"Ah, that waB my own idea. I muat visit
that locality."
"How? Will you swim?"
"No," he aald, his stern lips relaxing in
a smile, "I will not swim ; and by the way,
Mlsa Deane, be careful when you ate near
the water. The lagoon is swarming with
sharks at present. I feel tolerably assured
that at low tide, when the remnants of the
gale havo vanished, I will be able to walk
there along the reef."
"Sharks " she cried. "In thero I What
horrible surprise this speck of land con
tains I I should not havo Imagined that
sharks and seals could live together."
"You are quite right." he explained, with
becoming gravity. "As a rute sharks in
fest only the leeward side of these lalanda,
Juat now they are attracted in shoals by
th wreck,"
"Oh." Irla shivered slightly.
"Wo had better go back now, The Wind
Is keen here, Silas Deane."
She knew 'that he purposely rnlunder
stood her gesture. His attitude conveyed a
rebuke. There was no further room for
sentiment In their present existence; they
had to deal with chill necessities. As for
the sailor, Jie was glad that the chance
turn of their conversation enabled him to
warn her agalnat the lurking .dangers of
the lagoon. There waa no need to men
tion the devilfish now; he must spare her
all avoWable thrllla.

She held up a small metal lamp.
"Where In the world did you find that?"

"Burled In the sand Insldo the cave."
"Anything else?"
His tone was abrupt. Sho was so dis

her head, stooping at once to attend to
tho toasting of some biscuits.
This time ho was genuinely sorry.
"Forglvo me, Sllss Denne," ho said peni
tently. "Sly words nre dictated by anxiety.
I do not wish you to mnko discoveries on
your own account. This Is a strange place,
you know an unpleasant ono In some re
spects." "Surely I can rummage about my own

Slost certainly. It was careless of me
not to have examined Its Interior more
thoroughly."
"Then why do you grumble because I
found tho lamp?"
"I did not mean any such thing. I am
sorry."

Unlucky Jenks 1 Wns over man fated to
incur such unmerited odium? He savagely

water was delightful at first, but It caused
his Injured nail to throb, dreadfully.
When ho drew near to the fire he ex
perienced an unaccountable sensation of
weakness. Could it be possible that he

was going to faint? It was too absurd.
He sank to the ground. Trees, rocks and
sandstrewn earth Indulged In a mad dance.
Iris's voice sounded weak and Indistinct.
It seemed to travel In waves from a great
distance. He tried to brush away from
his brain these dim fancies, but his Iron
will for once failed, and he pitched head
long downward Into darkness.
When he recovered, the girl's left nrm
was round his neck. For one blissful In
stant ho nestled there contentedly. He
looked Into her eyes nnd saw that she
was crying. A gust of anger rose within
him that he should be the causa of those
tears.
"Damn!" he said, and tried to rise.
"Oh! Are you better?" Her lips quiv
ered pitifully.
"Yes. What happened? Did I faint?"
"Drink this."
Sho held a cup to his mouth nnd he
obediently strove to swallow the contents.
It was champagne. After the first spasm
of terror, nnd when the application of
water to his face failed to restore con
sciousness. Irl. had knocked the head off
a bottle of champagne.
Ho quickly revived. Nature had only
given him a warning that he was overdraw
ing his resources. Ho was deeply humili
ated. He did not conceive the truth, that
only n strong man could do all that he
had done nnd live. For 36 hours he hnd
not slept. During part of the time ho
fought with wilder beasts than they knew
at Kphesus. Tho long exposure to the sun,
tho menial Btraln of his foreboding that
tho charming girl whoso life depended upon
him might bo exposed to even worse dan
gers than any yet encountered, the physi
cal labor he had undergone, the Irksome
restraint ho strove to place upon his con
duct nnd utterances all these things cul
minated In utter relaxation when the wnter
touched his heated skin.
IJut ho was really very much annoyed.
A powerful man always Is annoyed when
forced to yield. Tho revelation of a limit
to human enduranco Infuriates him. A
woman Invariably thinks that the man
should bo scolded, by way of tonic.
"How could you frighten mo so?" de
manded Iris, hysterically. "Tou must havo
felt that you were working too hard. You
made me rest. Why didn't you rest your
self?" Ho looked at her wistfully. This col
lapse must not happen again, for her sake.
These two said moro with eyes than lips.
She withdrew her arm; her face and neck
crimsoned.
"There," she said with compelled cheer
fulness. "You- aro all right now. Finish
tho wine."
Ho emptied the tin. It gave htm new
life.
"I always thought," he answered gravely,
"that champagne was worth Its weight in
gold under certain conditions. These are
tho conditions."
Irla reflected, with elastic rebound from
despair to roller, that men In the lower
ranks of llfo do not usually form theories
on tho expensive virtues of the Wine of
France. Hut her mind was suddenly occu
pied by a fresh disaster.
