These are our sentinels. Come with me to allot his post to the most distant one." He picked up a faggot with its queer attachment shouldered a Leo-Metford, and smiled when he saw the businesslike air with which Iris alung a revolver around her waist They walked rapidly to Smugglers' Cove. and the girl soon perceived the Ingenuity of his automatic signal. He securely bound the block of wood to a tree where It was hidden by the undergrowth. Breaking the bullet out of a cartridge, he placed the blank charge In position In front of the striker, the caso being firmly clasped by a bent nail. To tho trigger, the spring ot which ho had cased to a slight pressure. he attached a piece of unraveled rope, and this he carefully trained among the trees at a height ot six inches from tho ground, using as carriers nails driven Into the trunks. The ultimate result was that a mere swish of Iris's drees against the taut cord exploded tho cartridge. There I" ho exclaimed, exultantly. "When I have driven stakes Into the sand to tha water's edge on both sides of the cove, I will defy them to land by night without giving us warning." "Do you know," said Iris, In all serious ness, "I think you are the cleverest man In the world." "My dear Miss Dcane, that Is not at all a trades unionist sentiment Equality Is the keynote of their propaganda." Nevertheless ho was manifestly pleased by the success of his Ingenious contrivance, and forthwith completed the cordon. To make doubly sum, he set another snare further within the trees. He was certain the Dyaka would not pass along Turtle Beach If, they could help It By this time the light was falling. "That will suffice for the present" he told the girl, "Tomorrow we will place other sentries In position at strategic points. Then we can sleep in the castle with toler able safety." By the meager light .of tho tiny lamp they labored sedulously at the" rope ladder until Iris's eyes were closing with sheer weariness. Neither of them had slept much during the preceding night and they were both completely tired. It was with a very weak little smile that the girl bade him "good-night" and they were soon wrapped In that sound slum ber which comes only from health, hard work and wholesome fare. The first streaks or dawn were tipping the opposite crags with roseate tints when the sailor was suddenly aroused by what he believed to bo a gunshot He could not be sure. He was still collecting his scat tered senses, straining eyes and eara In tensely, when there came a second report Then he knew what had happened. The sentries on 'the Smugglers' Cove post were faithful to their trust The enemy was upon them. At such a moment Jenks was not a man who prayed. Indeed, ho was prone to In voke the nether powers, a habit long since acquired by tho British army In Flanders. It Is believed. There was not a moment to be lost He rushed Into' Iris's room and gathered In his arms both her and the weird medley of FARMER SMITH'S a RJNBOW CLUB ABOUT A FRIEND OF MINE A friend of mine came to see me the other day; In fact, I brought him myself. As soon as he got in the house I slammed him on the table. Later on I picked him up and when I put him on tho table again I turned down one of his ears.

He explained to the protesting girl, as he ran with her to the foot of the rock, that she must cling to his shoulders with unfaltering courage while he climbed to the ledge with the aid of the pole and the rope placed there the previous day. It waa a magnlflelent feat of strength that he essayed. In calmer momenta he would' have shrunk from Its performance, If only on the score of dangar to the precious burden he carried. Now there was no time for thought. Up he went, hand over hand, clinging to the rough pole with the tenacity of a limpet and tak ing a turn of the rope over his right wrist at each upward clutch. At last breathless but triumphant, he reached the ledge and was able to gasp his Instructions to Iris to crawl over hla bent back and head until she waa safety lodged on the broad plat form of rock. Then, before she could expostulate, he decended, this time for the rifles. These he hastily alung to the rope, again swarmed up the pole and drew the guns after him with Infinite care. Even In the whlrt of the moment he no ticed that Iris had managed to partially complete her costume. "Now we are ready for them," he growl ed, lying prone on the ledge and eagerly scanning both sides of Prospect Park for a glimpse ot their assailants. For two shivering hours they waited there, until the sun was high over the cliff and niled sea and land with Its bright ness. At last despite the girl's teara and prayers, Janks Insisted on making a recon naissance In person. Let this portion of their adventures be passed over with merciful brevity. Doth watch guns had been fired by the troupe of tiny wou-wou monkeva I iri 1M not knnw whether to laugh or cry. when Jenks, with much dlf faulty, lowered her to mother earth again, and marveled the while how he had managed to carry forty feet Into the mr a young woman who weighed so solidly. They sat down to a belated breakfast and Jenks then became conscious that the muscles of his arms, legs and back were aching hugely. It waa by that means he could judge the true extent of his achieve ment Iris, too, realised It gradually, but. like the Frenchwoman In the earthquake, sho was too concerned with memories of her stats of dishabille to appreciate, all at once, the Incidents of tha dawn. CIIAPTKIt IX thi: SECnET or the cave THII Bailor went after those monkeys In a mood of relentless severity. Thus far, the regular denizens ot Rainbow Island had dwelt together In peace and mutual good will, but each diminutive wou-wou must be taught not to pull any strings he found tied promiscuously to trees or stakes. As a pre liminary essay, Jenks resolved to try force combined with artifice. Falling complete success, he would endeavor to kill overy monkey In the place, though ho had In full measure the Inherent dislike of Anglo-Indla to the slaying of the tree people. This, then. Is what he did. After filling a blscut tin with good-slzed pebbles, he donned a Dyak hat, blouse and belt, rubbed earth over his face and hands, and proceed ed to pelt the wou-wous mercilessly. For more than an hour he made their lives mis erable, until at the mere eight of him they fled, shrieking and gurgling like a thousand water bottles. Finally he constructed sev eral Dyak scarecrows and erected one to guard each of his alarm guns. The device was thoroughly effective. Thenceforth, when some adventurous monkey swinging with hands or tall among the treetops In the morning search for appetizing nut or luscious plantain saw one ot these fear some bogles, he raised such -a hubbub that all hla companions scampered hastily from the confines ot the wood to the Inner fast nesses. In contriving these same scarecrows which, by the way, he had vaguely Intended at first to erect on the beach In order to frighten the Invaders and Induce them to fire a warning volley the sailor paid closer heed to the spoils gathered from the fallen. One, at least of ths belts was made of human hair, and some among Its long strands could have come only from the flaxon-halred head of a European child. This faot, though ghastly enough, confirmed him In his theory that It was Impossible to think of temporizing with these human (lends. Unhappily such savage virtues as they possess do not Include clemency to the weak or hospitality to defenseless strangers. There was nothing for It but a fight to a finish, with the law of the jungle to decide the terms of conquest That morning, of course, lie had not been to vls'.t Summit Rock until after his cau tious survey of the Island. Once there, how ever, he noticed that the gale two nights earlier had loosened two of the supports ot his sky s'gn. It was not a difficult or a long job to repair the damage. With the Invaluable ax he cut several wedges and soon made all secure. Now, during each of the two datly exami nations of the horizon, which hs never omitted, he minutely scrutinised the sea be tween Rainbow Island and the distant group. It was, perhaps, a needless precau tion. The Dyaks would come at night. With a favorable wind they need not set BEAZi ESTATE FOR SALE salt until dusk, and their fleet sampans would easily cover the Intervening forty miles In five hours. He could not be positive that they were actual Inhabitants ot the Islands to the south. The China Sea swarms with wan dering pirates, and ths tribe whose animos ity he had earned might be equally noxious to some peaceable fishing community on the Coast Again and again he debated the ad visability of constructing a seaworthy raft and endeavoring to make the passage. But this would be risking all on a frightful uncertainty, and the accidental discovery of the Eagle's Nest had given him new hope. Here he could make a determined and prolonged stand, and In the end help must come. So he dismissed the navigation project and devoted himself wholly to the perfecting of the natural fortresa In the rock. That night they finished the rope ladder. Indeed, Jenks was determined not to retire to rest until It wsb placed In situ; ho did not care to try a second time to carry Iris to that elevated perch, and It may be re marked that henceforth the girl, before go ing to sleep, simply changed one ragged dress for another. One of the first things he contemplated was the destruction. If possible, of the point on the opposite cliff which commanded the ledge. This, however, was utterly Imprac ticable with the appliances at his command. The top of tho rock Bloped slightly toward the west and nothing short of dynamite or regular quarrying operations would ren der It untenable by hostile marksmen. During the day his Lee-Metfords, at ninety yards' range, might ba trusted to keep the place dear of Intruders. I3ut at night that was the difficulty. He partially solved It by fixing two rests on ths ledga to support a rlllo In exact line with the center of the enemy's supposed position, and aa a variant, on tha outer rit h marl,.! ii which corresponded with other sections of the entire front aallable to tho foe. Even then ho was not satisfied. When time permitted ha made many experiments with ropes reeved through tho pulley and attached to a rifle action. Ho might have succeeded In his main object had not his thoughts taken a new line. His aim was to achieve some method of opening and clos- "' "'"oreecn-DiocK oy mesas of two ropes. The difficulty was to secure tho preliminary and final lateral movement of tho lever bolt but It suddenly occured to him that If he could manage to convey the Impression that Iris and he had left the Island, the Dyaks would go away after a fruitless search. The existence of ropes along the face of the rock an essential to his me chanical scheme would betray their whereabouts, or at any rate excite dan gerous curiosity. So ha reluctantly aban doned his original design, though not wholly, as will be seen In due course. In pursuance of hla latest Idea he sed ulously removed from the foot ofc-the cliff all traces of the clearance effected on tho ledge, and. although he provided supports for the tarpaulin covering, he Aid not adjust it Iris and he might lie perdu there for daya without their retreat being found out Thla development suggested the ne cessity of hiding their surplus stores and ammunition, and what spot could be more uuaoio man tne caver So Jenks began to dig once more In the Interior, laboring manfully with pick and shovel in the locality of the fault with Its vein of antimony, It was thus that he blundered upon the second great event of hla lite. Rainbow Island had given him the one thing a man prizes above all else a pure yet passionate love for a woman beautiful alike In body and mind. And now It was to endow him with riches that might stir ir0 vtitse ec sroet a PeaeMSa j For the sartor, umasseTat s MftaaM attar than nrovMIng the fiejUsH aVswU. stilt tf Ing and delving with tRe etvefgy esMlmr a 1 all his actons, suddenly sines-ia veea ot almost virgin gM. To facilitate the dlepeeal at a alatanee ef the disturbed debris, he threw eaoh etteret- ful on to a canvas sheet, whleli he subse quently dragged among the trees In order te dislodge Its contents. After delag thla feir times he notloed certain metallte sleeks In the fifth load which recalled the preeenoe) V) ot the antimony. But the appearance ef the sixth cargo waa so remarkable whe brought out Into the sunlight that It Inttte closer Inspection. Though hla knowledge C geology waa slight the half-fergeMen gleanings ot a brief course at Eton he wm forced to believe that the specimens ha handled so dubiously contained neither eep per nor Iron pyrites but glittering .yellow gold. Their weight, the distribution ef tha metal through quarts In a transition state between an oxide and a tellurlde, compelled recognition. Somewhat excited, yet halt skeptical, ha returned to the excavation and scooped out yet another collection. Thla time there could be no mistake. Nature's own alchemy had fashioned a veritable Ingot, There were small lumps In the ore whleh would . need alloy at the mint before they oould be Issued as sovereigns, so free from drosa were they. Iris had gone to Venue's Bath, and woula be absent for some time. Jenks sat down on a tree stump. He held In his hand a small bit of ore worth perhaps twenty pounds sterling. Slowly the eonjeeturea already v pieced together In .his mind during early days on the Island came back to him. The skeleton of an Englishman lying ( there among tho bushea near the well; tho ' Oolgotha of the poison-filled hollow: the' mining toots, both Chinese and European t tbe plan on the piece of tin ah, the piece of tin I Mechanically tho sailor produced It from the breast pocket ot his Jersey. At Jast the mysterious sign "Sl-1" revealed Its significance. Measure thirty-two feet from the mouth of the tunnel, dig one foot la depth, and you came upon the mother lode of this gold-bearing rock. This, then, waa the secret of the cave. i The Chinese knew the richness ot the de posit and exploited Its treasures by quar rying from the other side ot the hill. But their crass Ignorance of modem science led to their undoing. The accumulation of lib- 3 erated carbonic acid gas In the workings killed them In scores. They probabty fought this uneeen demon with the tenacity of their race, until the place became accursed and banned ot all living things. Tot had they dug a little ditch, and permitted the Invisible terror to flow quietly downward until IU potency was dissipated by sea and air, they might have mined the whole cliff with Impunity. The unfortunate unknown. J. Sj he ot the whitened bones might hav done thla thing too. But he only possessed the half- - knowledge of the working miner, and whlta ar snunning tne plague-stricken quarry, adopted the more laborious method of mak ing an adit to strlkeJthe deposit He suc ceeded, to perish miserably in the hour when he saw himself a millionaire. Was this a portent of the fate about to overtake the latest comers? Jenks, of course, stood up. He always stood squire on his feet when the volcano within hint- s fired his blood. " ' "No, by Oodl" he almost shouted. "I will break the spell. I am sent here by Providence, not to search for gold, but to save a Roman's life, and If all the devils of China and Malay are In league against me I will beat them!" The sound of his own voice atartled him. He had no notion that he waa so hys- ;J terlcal. Promptly his British phlegm throt tled the demonstration. He was rather , ashamed of It What was all the tusa about? With a barrow-load of gold he oould not buy an Instant's safety for Iris, not to mention him self.
