'H.WTKn VIII (Continued)
HE GATHERED tho guns, swords and
krlsiei of the slain, with all their un
couth belts and ornaments In pursuance of
a vaguely defined plan of future notion he
also divested some of the men of their coarse
garments and collected six queer-looking
hats, shaped like Inverted bnslns. These
things ho placed In a heap nenr the pitcher
plants. Thenceforth, for half an hour, the
pine d surface of the lagoon was disturbed
Dy tno black dorsal fins of many sharks.
To one of tho sailor's temperament thero
was nothing revolting in the concluding
portion of his task. He had a God-given
right to live. It was his paramount duty,
remitted only by denth Itself, to endeavor
to save Iris from the Indescribable fate
from which no power could rescue her If
ever she fell into the hands of these vin
dictive savages. Thoreforo, It was war be
tween him and them, war to tho bitter end,
war with no humane mitigation of Its hor
rors nnd penalties, the last dread arbitra
ment of man forced to adopt the methods
of the tiger.
His guess at ths weather conditions
heralded by the change of wind was right.
As tho two partook of their evening menl
ths complaining surf lashed tho reef, nnd
the tremulous branches of the taller trees
voiced tho approach of a gale. A tropical
storm, not a typhoon, but a belated burst
of tho periodic rains, deluged tho Island
before midnight. Hours earlier Iris re
tired, utterly worn by the events of the day.
Needless to say, there was no singing that
evening. The gale chanted a wild melody
In mournful chords, and the nolso of the
watery downpour on the tarpaulin roof of
Belle Vuo Castle was such as to render
conversation Impossible, save In wearying
shouts.
Luckily, Jenks's carpentry was effective,
though rough. Tho building was water
tight, nnd he had calked every crevice with
unraveled rope until. Iris's apartment was
free from the tiniest draught-
Tho very fury of the external turmoil
actod as a lullaby to the girl. She was
soon asleep, and the sailor was left to his
thoughts.
Sleep he could not He smoked steadily,
with a magnificent prodigality, for his small
stock of tobacco was fast diminishing. He
ransacked his brains to discover some meth
od of escape from thla enchanted island,
where fairies Jostled with demons, and
hours of utter happiness found their bane
In momenta of frightful peril.
Of course, he ought to havo killed thoso
fellows who escaped. Their sampan might
have provided ji last desperate expedient If
other savages effected a landing. Well,
thero was no use In being wise after tho
event, and, scheme as he might, he could de
vise no way to avoid disaster during the
next attack.
This, ho felt certain, would take place nt
night. The Dyaks would land In force, rush
tho cave and hut and overpower him by
sheer numbers. The fight. If fight there
was, would be sharp, but decisive. Perhaps,
If he received some warning. Iris ana no
might retreat in the darkness to tho cover
of the trees. A last stand could be made
among the boulders on Summit Rock. But
of what avail to purchase their freedom un
til daylight? And then
If ever man wrestled with desperate prob
lem, Jenks wrought that night. He smoked
and pondered until tho storm passed, and,
with the changefulness of a poet's muse,
a full moon flooded the Island In glorious
radiance.
He rose, opened tho door, and stood
without, listening for a little while to the
roaring of the surf and the crash of the
broken coral swept from reef and shore by
the backwash.
The petty strife of the elements waa
soothing to him.
'They are snarling like whipped dogs,"
ho said aloud "One might almost fnncy
her ladyship the Moon nppearlng on the
scene as a Uranlan Venus, cowing sea and
storm by the majesty of her presence."
Pleased with the conceit, he looked stead
ily nt the brilliant luminary for somo tlmo.
Then his eyes were attracted by the strong
lights thrown upon the rugged face of the
preclplco Into which tho cavern burrowed.
Unconsciously relieving hla tired senses, ho
wns Idly wondering what trick of color
Turner would have adopted to convey those
sharp yet weirdly beautiful contrasts,
when suddenly he uttered a startled ex
clamation. "By Jovo)" he murmured. "I never no
ticed that before."
The feature which so earnestly claimed
his attention was n deep ledge, directly
over the mouth of tho cave, but somo forty
feet from tho ground. Behind It the wall
of rock sloped darkly Inward, suggestlnr a
recess extending by hnphazard computa
tion nt least a couple or yards. It oc
curred to him thnt perhaps the fault In ths
Interior of the tunnel had Its outcrop here,
nnd the Influences of rain and sun had
extended the weak point thus exposed In the
bold panoply of stono.
He surveyed tho ledge from different
points of view It was quite Inaccessible,
and most difficult to estimate accurately
from the ground level. The sailor was n.
man of action, He chose the nearest tall
tree and began to climb. He was not
eight feet from the ground before several
birds flow out from Its leafy recesses, fill
ing tho air with shrill clucking.
"Tho devil take them I" ho growled, for
ho feared that the commotion would awaken
Iris. He was mill laboriously worming his
way through the Inner maze of branches
when a well-known voice reached him from
tho ground
"Mr. Jenks. what on earth are you doing
up thereT"
"Oh I so thoae wretched fowls aroused
you?" he replied.
"Yes; but why did you arouse them?"
"I had a fancy to roost ty way of a
change."
"Please be serious"
"I am more than serious. This tre
grows a variety of small sharp thorn that
Induces a maximum of gravity before ono
takes tho next step."
"But why do you keep on climbing?"
"It Is sheer lunacy, I admit Yet on such
a moonlit night there Is somo reasonable
ground for oven a mad excuse."
"Mr. Jenks, tell mo at onco what you
are doing."
Iris strove to be severe, but there was
a touch of anxiety In her tono that ln
stnntly mado the sailor aDologetla. Ho
told her about the ledgs and explained
his half-formed notion that here they might
secure a safe retreat In case of further
attack a refuge from which they might
defy assault during many days.
It was, he said, absolutely Impossible to
watt until the morning. He must at once
satisfy himself whether tho project was
Impracticable or worthy of future Investiga
tion So the girl only enjoined him to be care
ful, and he vigorously renewed the climb.
At last, some twenty-five feet from tho
ground, an accidental parting In the
branches enabled htm to get a good look at
the ledge. One glanco set his heart beating
Joyously. It was at least fifteen feet In
length; It shelved back until Its depth was
lost in the blackness or the shadows, and
the floor must be either nearly level or
sloping slightly Inward to tho line of the
fault.
The place was a perfect eagle's nest A
chamois could not reach It from any direc
tion; It became accessible to man only by
means of a ladder or, a balloon.
More excited by this discovery than he
cared for Iris to know, he endeavored to ap
pear unconcerned when he regained tho
ground.
"Well," she said, "tell me alt about It"
He described the nature of the cavity as
well as he understood it at tho moment, and
emphasized his previous explanation of Its
virtues. Here they might reasonably hope
to maks a successful stand ngnlnst the
Dynks
"Then you feel sure that those awful crea
tures will come back?" she said slowly.
"Only too sure, unfortunately."
"How remorseless poor humanity Is when
the veneer Is stripped off I Why cannot they
leave us In peace? I suppose they now cher
ish a blood feud against us. Perhaps, it I
had not been here, they would not have In
jured you. Somehow I seem to be bound up
with your misfortunes."
"I would not havo It otherwise were It In
my power," he answered. For an Instant
he left unchallenged the girl's assumption
that she was In any way responsible for
the disasters which had broken up his
career. He looked Into her eyes and almost
forgot himself. Then the sense of fair deal
ing that dominates every true gentleman
rose within him and gripped his wavering
emotions with ruthless force. Was this a
time to play upon tho high-strung sensibil
ities of this youthful daughter of the gods,
to seek to win from her a confession of love
that a few brief days or weeks might prove
to bo only a spasmodic, but momentarily
all-powerful, gratitude for the protection he
had given her?
And he spoke aloud, striving to laugh,
lest his words should falter
"You can console yourself with the
thought. Miss Deane, that your presence on
the laland will In no way affect my fate at
the hand of the Dyaks. Had they caught
me unprepared today my head would now
be covered with a solution of the special
varnish they carry on every foreign expe
dition." "Varnish?" she exclaimed.
"Yes, as a preservative, you understand."
"And yet those men are human beings I"
"For purposes of classification, yes. Keep
ing to strict fact, It was lucky for me that
you raised the alarm nnd gave me a chance
to discount the odds of mere numbers. So.
you see, you really did mo a good turn."
"What can be done now to save our
Uvea? Anything will be better than to
await another attack."
'The first thing to do Is to try to get
soma sleep before daylight How did you
know I was not In the Caatle?"
"I cannot tell you. I awoke and knew
you were not near me. If I wake In the
night I can always tell whether or not you
aro In tho next room. So I dressod nnd
came out."
"Ah I" he said, quietly. "Evidently I
snore."
This explanation killed romance.
Iris retreated and the sailor, tired out at
last, managed to close his weary eyes.
Next morning he hastily constructed a
pole of sufficient length and strong enough
to bear his weight by tying two sturdy
young trees together with ropes. Iris helped
htm to raise it against the face of the
precipice, and he at once climbed to the
ledge.
Hera he found his observations of the
previous night abundantly verified. Ths
ledge was even wider than he dared to
hopo, nearly ten feet deep In ono part and
it sloped sharply downwards from the outer
lip of the rock. By lying flat and carefully
testing all points of view, he ascertained
that the only possible positions from which
even a glimpse of the Interior floor could
be obtained were the branches of a few
tall trees and the extreme right of the
opposing precipice, nearly ninety yarda dis
tant There was ample room to store water
and provisions, and he quickly saw that
ven some sort of shelter from the fierce
rays of the sun nnd the often piercing cold
of the night might bo achieved by Judi
ciously rigging up a tarpaulin.
'This Is a genuine bit of good luck," he
musod. "Here, provided neither of us is
hit wo can hold out for a week or longer,
at a pinch. How can It be possible that I
should have lived on this Island so many
days nnd yet hit upon this nook of safety by
mere chance, as it were?"
Not until he reached the level again
could he solve the puzzle. Then he per
ceived that the way In which the cliff
bulged out on both sides prevented the
ledge from becoming evident In profile,
while, seen en Mn face In th gtra C
the sunlight. It swtHrertea nothmtr
than a slight Indentation.
Ha rapidly sketched to Irla the
plan which the Eagle's Neat
Access must bo provided br means a
rope ladder, securely fastened IneMra Ok
ledge, and capable of being pulled Mm WT
let down at ths will of the occupant. The
the place must be kept constantly 8toet
with a Judicious supply of provisions, watar
and ammunition They could be ovM4
with a tarpaulin, and thus kept In fairly
good condition.
"We ought to sleep there every RWrt,"
he went on, and his mind waa so engree4
with tho tactical side of the preparations
that he did not notice how Iris blanhd
at the suggestion.
"Surely not until danger actually
threatens?" she cried.
"Danger threatens us each hour after,
sunset. It may como any night themgh I
expect nt least a fortnight's reprieve.
Nevertheless, I Intend to act as It tontgM
may witness tho first shot of the slega,"
"Do you mean that?" she sighed. "And
my little room Is becoming so very cosy!"
Belle Vue Castle, their two-roomed hut,
was already a homo to them.
Jenks always accepted her words liter
ally. "Well," he announced, after a pause, "K
may not be necessary to take up our quar
ters there until tho eleventh hour. After I
havo hoisted up our stores and mado the
ladder, I will endeavor to devise an effleient
cordon of sentinels around our position. Wo
will see." I
Not another word could Iris get out ot
him on the topic. Indeed, he provided her
with plenty of work. By this tlmo she
could splice a rope more neatly than her
tutor, and her particular bualnesa was to
prepare no less than sixty rungs for ths ,
ropeladder. This was an Impossible task
for one day, but after dinner the sailor
helped her. They tolled late, until their
fingers were soro and their backbones
creaked ns they sat upright
Meanwhile, Jenks swarmed up tho polo
again and drew up after him a crowbar,
tho sledgehammer nnd the pickax. With
these Implements he set to work to Improve
the accommodation. Of .course, he did not
attempt seriously to remove any large,
quantity of rock, but thero were project
ing lumps and Inequalities of floor there
which could b thumped or pounded out ot
existence.
It was surprising to see what a clear
ance he mado In an hour. The existence
ot the fault helped him a good deal, as
the percolation of water at this point had
oxidized the stone to rottenness. To bis
great Joy ho discovered fhat a few prods
with the pick laid bare a small cavity which
could be easily enlarged. Here he contrived
a niche where Iris could remain In absolute
safety when barricaded by stores, wnue,
with a squeeze, she was entirely sheltered
from the ono dangerous point on the oppo
site cliff, nor need she be seen trom tho
trees. .
Having hnuled Into position two boxes
of ammunition for which he had soooped
out a special receptacle the Invaluable
waterkega from the stranded boat several
tins ot biscuits and all the tinned meats,
together with three, bottles of wine and two
of brandy, ho hastily abandoned the ledge
and busied himself with fitting a number
of gunlocks to heavy faggots.
Iris watched his proceedings In silence
for some time. At last tho Interval for
luncheon enabled her to demand an ex
planation.
"If you don't tell mo at onco what you
Intend to do with thoso strange imple
ments," she said. "I will form myself Into
an amalgamated engineer and ooma out
on strike."
"It you do," he answered, "you will
create a precedent. There Is no recorded
case of a laborer claiming what ho calls
his rights when his life Is nt stake. Even
nn American tramp has been known to work
like a flend under that condition."
"Simply because an American tramp tries,
like every other mero male, to bo logical.
A woman la more heroic I onco read ot a
French lady being killed during an earth
quake because she Insisted on going Into a
falling house to rescue that portion of her
hair which usually rested on the dressing
table while she was asleep."
"I happen to know." ho said, "that you
aro personally unqualified to emulate her
example."
She laughed merrily, so lightly did yes
terday's adventure sit upon her. The allu
Blon to her disheveled state when they wero
thrown ashore by the typhoon simply Im
pressed her as amusing. Thus quickly had
she become Inured to the strange circum
stances of a new life.
"I withdraw the threat and substitute a
more genuine plea curiosity." she cried.

THE CRIME OF BEING A CHILD
I am a child.
No one pays any attention to me until I am sick.
This year I am very important because some of my
playmates are sick very sick many of them
have died.
I am a child. t
People have adulterated. my milk For'aymere
matter of dollars they did it.
People have ruined the food I eat yet no one
raised a row.
is a great row about me when I am sick.
Mother is afraid. Father is scared. They pay a
lot of attention to me when I am sick.
T nTYi a p.hild.
Oh, when will they stop poisoning my milk,
ruining my food, mixing my candy with the filth
of the streets?
Oh, God! Who will take my side?
I am a. child!
