SOJIK HXl'I.ANATIONS
FIERCE emotions are necessarily tran
sient, but for the hour they exhaust the
piychlc capacity. The sailor had gone
through such mental stress before It was
yet noon that ho was 'benumbed, wholly
Incapable of further sone.itlon. Seneca
tells how the lalnnd of Thoresaoa arose in
a moment from the sea, thereby astounding
nnctent mtrlners, ns well It might. Had
this manifestation been repeated within a
cable's length from the reef, Jcnks was In
mood to accept It ns befitting the new older
of things.
Being In concl condition, ho soon reeov
ereilv hla physical powers. He was out
wardly little the worse for the encounter
with tho deUlflsh The skin around his
muuth was sore. His waist nnd legs were
bruised. One sween of the ax hail cut
clean through the bulging leather of his
boot without touching the flesh. In n word,
he was virtually unlnjutcd.
Ho had tho dogl ko hnblt of sinking
himself nt the closo of a fray. He did so
now when he stood up Iris Bhowed clearer
signs of tho ordeal. Her face was drawn
nnd haggnrd, tho pupils of her eyes dilated.
She was gazing Into depths, illimitable, un
explored. Compassion awoke nt sight of
her.
"Come," said Jenka, gently. "Let us
get back to the Island."
He quietly resumed predominance, help
ing her oer the rough pathway of the
reef, almost lilting her when the difficulties
were great.
He did not ask her how It happened
that Bho came so speedily to his assistance.
Enough that she had done It, daring all for
his sake. She was weak and "trembling.
With the acute vision of the soul she saw
again, nnd yet again, the deadly malice of
the octopus, tho ilhlne despair of the man.
Reaching tho firm sand, she could wnlk
alone. She limped. Instantly her com
panion's blunted emotions quickened Into
life. Ho caught ner arm anu sam noaraeiy:
"Are you hurt In any way?"
The question brought her back from
dreamland. A wnklng nlghtmaro was hap
pily shattered Into ,dlm fragments. She
even strove to smile unconcernedly.
"It Is nothing." she murmured. "I stum
bled on the rocks. There Is no sprain.
Merely a blow, a bit of skin rubbed off,
above my ankle."
"Let mo carry you."
"The Ideal Carry me! I will race
you to tho cave."
It was no Idle Jest She wanted to run
to get away from that Inky blotch In the
green water.
"You are BUre It Is a trifle?"
"Quite sure. My fctocklng chafes a lit
tle : that Is all. See. I will show you."
She Btoppcd, nnd with the quick sk 11 of
woman, rolled down the stocking on her
right leg. Modestly daring, Bhe stretched
out her foot and slightly lifted her dress.
On the outer side of tho tapering l.mb was
an ugly bruise, scratched deeply by the
coral.
He exhibited due surgical Interest. His
manner, his words, became professional.
"Wo wilt soon put that right," he said.
"A strip off your muslin dress, soaked ln
brandy, will"
"Brandy!" she exclaimed.
"Yes- wo have some, you know. Brandy
Is a great tip for bruised wounds. It can
be applied both ways. Inside and out."
This was better. They were steadily
drifting back to the commonplace. While
she stitched together some muslin strips,
he knocked tbe head off a bottle of brandy.
They each drank a small quantity, and the
generous ertlrlt brought color to their wan
checks. The sailor showed Iris how to
fasten a bandage by twisting tho muslin
round the upper part of his boot. For tho
first time she snw the cut made by tho ax.
"Did tho thing grip you there?" she
nervously Inquired
'There, nnd elsewhere. All over at once.
It felt like. The beast attacked me with
five nrms."
She shuddered "I don't know how you
could fight It," she said. "How strong,
how brave you must be."
This amused him. "The crlc.t coward
w.ll try to save his own life," ho answered
"If you'uso such adjective to me, what
words can I find to do Justice to you, who
dared to come closo to such a lle-looklng
creature nnd kill It. I must thank my stars
that you carried tho revolver."
"Ah I" she said, "that reminds me. You
do not practice what you preach I found
your pistol lying on tho stono In the cave.
That Is one reason why I followed you."
It aa qu to true, He laid the weapon
nsldo when delving nt tho rock and forgot
to replace It In his belt
"It was stupid ot me." ho admitted: "but
I nm not sorry."
"Why?"
"Because, ns It Is, I owe you my life."
"You owe mo nothing," sho snapped.
"It Is ery thoughtless of you to run such
rl'kn. What will become of mo If anything
happens to you? My point of lew Is pure
ly selfish, you see."
"Quite so. Purely selfish." Ho smiled
sadly. "Selfish people of your typo are
somewhat rare, Miss Deano."
Not a conversation worth noting, per
haps, save In o far ns It Is typical of tho
tr to utterances of peoplo striving to recover
f -i !, trr-mci'dous ordeal. Epigrams
delivered nt tho foot of the scaffold have
always been carcfullv prepared beforehand.
The bandage was ready; one end was
well sonked In brand v. She moved toward
the cave, but ho cried
"Walt one m'mitc, I want to get n
couple of crowbars."
"What for?"
"I must go back there." He Jerked his
head In tho direction of the reef. She
uttered a little sob of dismay.
"I will Incur no danger th time " he ex
plained. "I found rides there. We must
ii.i ve. them: they may mean salvation."
When IrlM was determined about any
thing, her chin dimpled. It puckered de
lightfully now.
"I will come with you," sho announced.
"Very well. I will wait for you. Tho
tldo will servo for another hour."
Ho knc,w ho had decided rightly. Sho
could not bear to bo alone yet. Soon tho
bandage was adjusted nnd they returned
to the reef, Scrambling now with dim
eulty over tho rough and dangerous track.
Iris was secretly amazed by the remem
bianco of the daring nctlvlty she displayed
during her enrller passage along the samo
precarious roadway.
Then she darted from rock to rock with
tho fearless certainty of a chamois. Her
only stumble was caused, she recollected,
by an absurd effort to nvold wetting her
dress. Sho laughed nervously when they
reached tho place. This time Jcnks lifted
her ncross the Intervening chinnel.
"Is that tho spot where you fell?" he
nsked, tenderly.
"Yes; how did you guess It?"
"I read It In your eyes."
"Then please do not read my eyes, but
look where you are going."
"rernnps I was doing that too." ho said.
They were standing on the landward side
of the shillow water ln which ho fought
tho octopus.
Already the dark fluid emitted by' his
assailant In Its final discomfiture was pnss.
Ing away, owing to the slight movement
of the tide.
Iris was vaguely conscious of n double
mean ng In his words. She did not trouble
to nnnlyzc them. All she knew was that
the man's voice conveyed n subtle acknowl
edgment of her feminine divinity The Re
sultant thrill of happiness startled, even
dismayed her. ThlH Incipient flirtation
must bo put a stop to instantly.
"Now that you havo brought me hero
with so much dltllclty, what are you go
ing to do?" she sMd. "It w II bo mad
ness for you to attempt to ford that pass
age ngaln. Where thero Is ono of thoso
horrible things there are others. I suppose."
Jenks Bmlled. Somehow ha knew that
this strict adherence to business wns a
cloak for her real thoughts. Already these
two were ablo to dlspenso with spoken
word.
But he sedulously adopted her pretext
"That Is one reason why I brought the
crowbars." he explained, "If you will sit
down for a little while I will have every
th ng properly fixed."
He delved with one of the bars until It
lodged In a crev ce of the coral. Then a

few powerful blows with the back of the
ax wedged It llfmly enough to bear any
ordltiiry strain Tho rope ends reeved
through the pulley on the tree were lying
where they fell from the girl's hand at
the closo' of tho struggle. He deftly knot
ted them to the rigid bar, nnd a few rapid
turns of n piece of wreckage passed be
tween the two lines strung them Into n
tnutness that could not be attained by any
amount of pulling.
Ir s watched the operation In silence. Tho
sailor always looked nt his best when hard
nt wotk.
The hnlf-sullen. self-contained expression
left his face, which lit up with enthusiasm
nnd concentrated Intelligence. Thnt wh ch
he essayed ho did with all his might Wilt
power nnd physical force worked harmoni
ously. She bad never before seen such a
mnn.
He, tolling w th steady persistence, felt
not the Inward spur which sought relief In
speech, but Iris was compelled to say some
thing. "I suppose," sho commented w th nn air of
much wisdom, "you are contriving an over
head railway for tho safe trans t of your
self and the goods?"
"Y Yes."
"Why nro you bo doubtful about It?"
"Because I personally Intended to walk
ncros. Tho ropes will servo to convey the
packages."
Sho rose Imperiously. "I absolutely for
bid you to enter the water again. Such a
suggestion cm your part Is ou te shameful.
You are taking a gravo risk for no very
great gain thnt I can see, and If anything
happens to you I shall bo left all alone In
this awful plnee,"
Sho could thlhk of no better argument.
Her only renourco was a woman's expe
dient a plea for protection against threat
ening lis.
The sailor seemed to bo puzzled how best
to net
"Miss Denne," he said, "there Is no such
serious danger as you Imagine. Last time
the cuttlo caught me napping. He will not
do so ngnln. Those rifles I must have. If
It w 11 serve to reassure you, I will go along
the line myself."
He made this confession grudgingly. In
very truth. If danger still lurked In the
neighboring sen, he would bo far less able
to avoid It while clinging to a rope that
sigged ncross tha channel than If he were
on his feet and prepared to make a rush
backward nnd forward.
Not until Iris wnlched him swinging
nlong with vigorous overhead clutches did
this phase of tho undertnk ng occur to her.
"Stop I" she screamed.
Ho let go and dropped Into the water.
turning toward her.
"What Is the matter now?" he said.
"Oo on; do!"
Ho stood meekly on the farther side tc
listen to her rating.
"You knew nil the time that It would be
better to walk, yet to please me you adopt
ed an absurdly dtnicult method. Why did
you do It?"
"You havo nnswered your own quest on.''
"Well, I am very, very angry with you.'
"I'll tell you what," he said, "If you will
forgive me I will try to Jump back. I
oneo did 19 feet 3 Inches ln er In a
meadow, but It makes such a difference
when you look nt a stretch of water the
samo width."
"I w sh you would not stand there talking
nonsense. The tide will be over the reef
In half an hour," she cried.
Without another word he- commenced
operations. Thero wns plenty of rope, and
tho plan he ndopted was simplicity Itself.
When each package was securely fastened
ho attached It to a loop that passed over
the line stretched from the tree to the
crotar.
Vx his loop he tied tho lightest rope he
cotiid nd and threw the other end to Iris.
By : . illng lightly she was able to land at
her feet even the cumbrous rifle chest, for
tho traveling angle was bo ncute that the
heavier tho article the more readily It
sought the lower level.
They tolled In silence until Jcnks could
lay hands on nothing more of value. Then,
observing due care, he quickly passed the
channel. For an Instant tho ulrl gazed
nffrlghtedly at the sea until the sailor
btood at her side again.
"You sec." he said, "you have scared
every cuttlo within miles." And he thought
that he would give many years of his life
to take her in hlo arms and kiss away her
nnxlety.
But the tide had turned ; In a few minutes
the reef would bo partly submerged. To
urry tho case of rifles to the ma nland wns
n manifestly Impossible feat, so Jenks, now
did that which, done earlier, would have
saved him some labor he broke open tho
chest, und found that the weapons were
apparently in excellent order.
He snapped the locks and squinted down
the barrels of half a dozen to test them.
These he laid to one side. Then he rapidly
constructed a email raft from loose tim
bers, binding them roughly with rope, and
to thlB argosy he fastened the box of tea,
the barrels of flour, the broken saloon chair,
nnd other small articles which might be of
use. He avoided any difficulty In launching
the raft by building it cIobb to the water's
edge. When all wns ready the rising tide
floated It for him ; he secured It to his long
est rope, and gave It a vigorous push off
Into tho lagoon, Then he slung four rifles
across his shoulders, asked Iris to carry
the rcriMrnln two in Iffc nwtTer; aa
.gan lt maneuver the raft rfernta,
"While you lM the goods t WW M.
pare dinner," announced the glrj. I
"Please be careful not to rilp ngisen
the locks," he said.
"Indeed I wilt My anklo gives maris
minder at each step "
"I was more concerned about the rtfte.
If you fell you mleht damage them, and U
Incoming tide will do hepo'esaly rust these
I leave behind that they will be u.eUe.'!
She laughed This assumption at bnttnt
Ity no longer deceived her
"I will preserve them at any cost; though
with six In our possession there Is I margin
for nrcldcnts. However, to reassure yost,
I will jjo back quickly If X fall a secorea
time you will still U able to replace any
deficiencies in our armament"
Before ho could protest she started off
nt a run. Jumping lightly from rock to roek,
though tho effort cost her n good deal ot
pain. Disregarding his shouts, she perse
vered until she stood sstely on the sand.
Then, saucily waving a farowell, she set oft
toward the cave.
Had she cecn, tho look of fierce despair
that settled down upon Jenka'a face as he
turned to his task or guiding the raft ashore
sho might have wondered what It meant
In any case she would certainly have be
haved differently,
Ily the time the sailor had sifely landed
his cargo Iris had cookod their midday
meal, She achieved a freeh culinary tri
umph. The eggs were fried I
"I am seriously thinking ot trying to
boll n hnm." she stated gravely, "Have
you any Idea how long it takes to cook
ono p.'operly?"
"A quarter of an hour for each pound."
"Admirable! But we can measure neither
hours nor pounds."
"I think we can do both. I will con
struct n balance of some kind. Then,
with a ham slung to ono end and a rifle
nnd some cartridges to the other, I wilt
tell you the walght of the ham to an ounce.
To Ascertain the time, I have already de
termined to fashion a sun dial I re
member tho requisite divisions with rea
sonable accuracy, and a. little observation
will enable us to correct any mistakes."
"You are really very clever, Mr, Jenka,"
said Iris, with childlike candor. "Have
you spent several years of your life In pre
paring for residence on a desert Island"
"Something of the sort I have led a
queer kind of existence, full ot useless pun
poses. Fate has driven me Into a corner
wheremy odds and ends of knowledge are
actually valuable. Guch accidents make
men millionaires.'" ,
"Useless purposes!" she repeated. "I
can hardly credit thnt One uses such n
phraso to describe fussy peoplo, alive with
foolish nctlvlty. Your wo.-et enemy would
not place you In such n category."
"My worst enemy 'made the phrase ef-
rectivo nt any rate. Miss Deane."
"You mean that he. ruined your career?"
"Well er yes. I suppose that describe
the position with fair accuracy."
"Wni he a very great scoundrel?"
"He was, and Is."
Jenks spoke with quiet bitterness. The
girl's words had evoked a sudden flood of
i ecoltectlon. For tha moment he did not
notice how he had been trapped Into speak
ing of himself, nor did ho see the quiet
content on Iris's fnce when she elicited
the Information that hla chief foe was
man. A certain tremulous hesitancy In her
manner when she spoko might havo warned
lilni. but his hungry soul caught only the
warm sympathy of her words, which fell
line rain on parencu sou.
"You are tired," she said. "Won't
you smoke for a little while, and talk
to me?"

(Little Mlaa Orlcaby lived In San Franclaro at

It was one of the most beautiful days
the Ban Francisco , Exposition had ,ever
seen, and people flocked there by thousands
to see the exposition and to see Beachey
fly In his new monoplane at s o'clock in the
North aardens. Many crowded there long
before time, while I, myself, waited In the
Palace of Mines.
While I was walking around, enjoying
the exhibits, I heard the report of a gun,
which was used by ths exposition for sig
naling special events. Realizing that
Beachey was about to make his night, I
hurried out -and took my place in the gath
ering crowd, which was waiting for Beachey
to start his motor. Presently he rose up
into the clouds like a graceful bird. When
he was about 3000 feet high he begun to
make loops and circles, while the crowd
below shouUd and wondered. His motor
stopped and he gilded gracefully to eurth
and lightly bounded along the grassy field.
I was about to move off when J heard a
map lihoutlnff through a megaphone that
Beachey would take his second flight, so' I
waited about ten minutes, and once more
saw htm gracefully move upward,
