ha should confess hla Ioo to Iris
CHAITEK IX (Continued!
"TT 13 odd that you should mention Ten-
X nyson." he managed to say calmly.
"Only today I was thinking of a favorlto
passage."
Iris, of course, was quite Innocent this
time.
"Oh. do tell me. Was It from 'Enoch
Arden'T"
He gave a sigh of relief. "No. Any
thing but that" he answered.
"What thenr
" 'Maud "
"Oh, Maud.' It Is very beautiful, but I
could never Imaglno why the poet gavo such
a sad ending to an Idyllic love story."
"They too often end that way. More
over, 'Enoch Arden' Is not wnat you might
call exhilarating."
"No. It Is sad. I have often thought he
had the 'Sonata Pathetlque' In his mind
when he wrote It But tho noto Is mourn
ful all through. There Is no promise of
happiness as In 'Maud.' "
"Then it Is my turn to ask questions.
Why did you hit upon that poem among so
many?"
"Because it contains nn exact descrip
tion of our position here. Don't you remem
ber how the poor fellow
"Sat often In tho seaward-ssitns rorse.

Sho declaimed the'melodlous verso with a
subtle skill that amazed her hearer. Pro
foundly moved, Jenks dared not trust him
self to speak.
"I read the whole poem the other day,"
she said after a silence of some minutes
"Sorrowful as It Is, it comforted me by
comparison. How different will be our fate
to his when 'another ship stays by this
Isle 1" "
Yet neither of them knew that one line
she had recited was more singularly ap
plicable to their case than that which they
paid heed to. "The great stars that globed
themselves In heaven" were shining clear
and bright In the vast arch above, ne
splendent amid the throng rose the
Pleladei, the mythological seven hailed by
tho Greeks as an augury of safe navigation.
And the Dyaks one of tho few remaining
savage races of the world share the super
stition of 'the people who fashioned all the
arts and most of the sciences.
The Pleiades form the Dyak tutelary
genius. Some among a blood-thirsty and
engeful horde were even then pointing to
tne clustering stars that promised quick
voyage to the Isle where their kinsmen had
been struck down by a white man who
rescued a maid. Nevertheless, Grecian
romance and Dyak lore alike relegate the
Influence of the Pleiades to the sea. Other
stars are needed to foster enterprise ashore.

Once upon a timo there was a little boy and he had a father. One day the
father took off the llttlo boy's shirt and BEAT htm so that the marks showed.
For a long timo the littlo boy would not kiss anybody. He would simply
say, "My kisses aro pll gone." ...... m
One day the little boy ran to greet his father and said to him, "Papa, my
kisses have all come back."
I had never thoughof there, being such a thing as a SUPPLY of kisses.

hate or resentment. The little boy RESENTED what his father had done to
him and his love was replaced by resentment.

ltralty vs. llomanre The Cass far Ihs
Plaintiff
Night after night the Pleiades swung
higher In the firmament; day after day the
sailor perfected his defenses and anxiously
scanned the ocean for sign of friendly
smoke or hostile sail. This respite would
not hae been given to him were It not for
the lucky bullet which remocd two fingers
and part of a third from the right hand of
the Dynk chief. Not een n' healthy sav
age can afford to treat such a wound lightly,
and ten dnys elapsed before the maimed
robber was able to movo the Injured limb
without a curse.
Mennwhtle. each night Jenks slept less
Boundlyj each day his face became more
careworn. He began to realise why the
Island had not been visited already by tho
vessel which would certainly be deputed to
search for them she was examining the
great coastline of Chtna and Slam.
It was his habit to mark the progress of
time on tho rudely made sun dial which suf
ficiently served their requirements as a
clock. Iris happened to watch him chipping
tho forty-fourth notch on the edge of the
horlxontal block of wood.
"Have we really been forty-four days
here?" She Inquired, after counting the
marks with growing astonishment
"I bellevo the reckdntng Is nccurnto." he
said. "Tho Sirdar was lost on the I8th of
March, and I make this the 1st of May."
"May Dayl"
"Yes. Shall we drive to Ilurllngham this
aftornoonT"
"Looked at In that way It seems to be a
tremendous timo, though Indeed, In some re
spects, It figure In my mind like many
years. This is when I am thinking. Other
wise, when busy, the days fly like hours."
"It must bo convenient to have such an
elastic scale."
"Most usoful. I strive to apply the quick
rate when you nre grumpy."
Iris placed her arms akimbo, planted her
reet widely npart, and surveyed Jenks with
an expression that might almost be termed
Impudent They were great friends, these
two. now. The Incipient stage of love
making had been dropped entirely, as ludl
crl'?lr unsulted to their environment
A hen tho urgent necessity for continuous
'bor no longer spurred thorn to exertion
during eery moment of" daylight, they
tackled the box of books and read, not
VOlUmeS Which Annnlr1 tn thm In fnmmnn
but quaint tomes In tho use of which Jenks
was tutor and Irli the scholar.
It became a fixed principle with the girl
that sho was very Ignorant, and she in
sisted thnt the sailor should teach her.
For liuttanco, among the books ho found
a trentlso on astronomy: It yielded a keen
delight to both to Identify a constellation
and learn all sorts of wonderful things
concerning It. But to work even the sim
plest problem required a knowledge of nl
gebra, and Iris had never gone beyond
decimals. So the stock of notebooks. In

camo covered with symbols showing how
x and y equaled x2 minus 2,000,000.
As a arlant Jenks Introduced a study
of Hindustani. Ills method was to write
a short sentence and explain In detail Its
component parts. With a certain awe Iris
surveyed the Intricacies of the Urdu com
pound crb, but, about her fourth lesson,
she broke out Into exclamations of extrava
gant joy.
"What on earth Is tho matter now?" de
manded her. surprised mentor.
"Don't you seo?" Bho exclaimed, delight
edly. "Of course, you don't! People who
know about a thing often miss Its obvious
points. I have discovered how to write
Klpllngese. All you have to do is to tell
your story In Urdu, translate It literally
Into English, and there you are I"
"Quite so. Just do It as Kipling does,
and the secret Is laid bare. By tho same
rule you can hit upon the Mlltonlo ad
jective." Iris tossed her head.
"I dont know anything about the Mlltonlo
ndjecthe, but I nm sure nbout Kipling."
This ended the argument. She knitted
her brows In the effort to master the ri
diculous complexities of a language which,
Instead of simply saying, "Take" or
"Bring," compels one to say, "Take-go"
and "Take-come."
One problem defied solution that of pro
dding raiment for Iris. The united skill
of the sailor and herself would not In
duce unraveled cordage to supply the need
of thread. It was either too weak or too
knotty, and meanwhile the girl's clothes
were falling to pieces. Jenks tried the
fibers of trees, the sinews of birds ery
possible expedient he could hit upon and
perhaps, after experiments covering some
weeks, he might havo succoeded. But mod
ern dress stuffs, weakened by aniline dyes
and stiffened with Chinese olny, permit of
no such exhaustive research. It must be
remembered that the lady passengers on
board the Sirdar wero dressed to suit the
tropics, and the hard usage given by Iris
to her scanty stock was never contemplated
by the Manchester or Bradford looms re
sponsible for the durability of tho ma
terial. As the days passed the position became
Irksome. It even threatened complete col
lapse during some critical moment and the
two often silently sun-eyed the large num
ber of merely mnlo garments In their pos
session. Of course. In the matter of coats
and waistcoats there was no difficulty
whatever. Iris had long been wearing those
portions of the doctor's uniform. But when
It came to the rest
At last, one memorable morning, she
crossed the Rubicon. Jenks had climbed
ne usual to the Summit Rock. He came
back with the exciting news that he
thought he could not be certain, but there
were Indications Inspiring hopefulness that
toward the west of tha far-off Island he
could discern the smoke of a steamer.
Though he had eyes for a faint cloud of
vapor nt least fifty miles distant, he saw
nothing of a remarkable change effected
nearer home. Outwardly, Iris was attired
In hor wonted manner, but If her com
panion's mind wero not whnllv mnnnnll,.,i
by the bluish haie detected on the horizon,
he must hao noticed the turned-up ends
of a par of trousers beneath the hem of
her tattered skirt.
It did occur to him that Iris received hla
momentous announcement with an odd air
of hauteur, and It was passing strange sho
did not offer to accompany him when, after
bolting his breakfast, he returned to the
ooservatory.
He came back In an hour, and the lines
on his face were deeper than before.
"A false alarm," he said curtly In re
sponse to her questioning look.
And that was all. though she nerved
herself to walk steadily past him on her
way to the well. This was disconcerting,
een annoying to a positive young woman
like Iris. Resolving to end the ordeal, she
stood rigidly before him.
"Well," she Bald, "I've done Itl"
"Have you?" he exclaimed blankly.
"Yes. They're a little too long, and I
feel very awkward, but they're better than
than my poor old dress unsupported."
She blushed furiously, to the sailor's com
plete bewlldermei t, but she bravely perse
vored and stretched out an unwilling foot.
"Oh. I seel" he growled, and he, too,
reddened.
"I can't help It can I?" she demanded
ptteously. "It Is not unlike a riding habit
Is It?"
"An excellent compromise," he said. "A

you know, Mlm Dtwne, that; wee M
nave occurred to nt,"
And during the remainder of the r ht
did not once look at her feet Indeeet, be
had far more serious matters to dlstrset
hla thoughts, for Iris, feverishly atixhMM I
be busy, suddenly suggested that K wonts!
be a good thing were she able ts nee a
rifle If a fight at close quarters beeass
necessahy.
The recoil of th Le.Metford is so Bright
that any woman can manipulate th weapetj
with effect provided she Is not called up
to lire from a standing position. In whteH
case the weight Is liable to cause bad aim
ing. Though It came rather late tn tM
day, Jenks caught at the Idea. He accus
tomed her In the first Instance to the vsm
of blank cartridges. Then, when fairly
proficient in holding and sighting a ehlM
can learn how to refill and clip and ejeet
each empty shell she fired ten rounds 'of
service ammunition. The target waa a
white circle on a rock at eighty yards, and
those of the ten shots that missed th
absolute mark would have made an enemy
nt the same dlstanco extremely uncon
formable. ,
Irrs was muoh pleased with her pro
ficiency. "Now," she cried, "Instead of
being a hindrance to, you I may b some
help. In any cose, the Dyaks will think
there are two men to face, and they have
good reason to fear one of us."
Then a new light dawned upon Jenks.
"Why did you not think of It beforer
he demanded. "Don't you see. Miss Dean,
the possibility suggested by your words? I
am sorry to be compelled to speak plainly,
but I feel sure' that If those scoundrels do
attack us In force It will be more to secure
you than to avenge the loss of their fellow
tribesmen. First and foremost the sea
going Dyaks are pirates and marauder.
They prowl about the coast looking not so
muoh for a fight as for loot and women.
Now, If they return, and apparently find
two well-armed men awaiting them, with
no prospect of plunder, there Is a chant
they may abandon the enterprise."
Irish did not flinch from the topic Sh'
well knew Us grave Importance.
"In other words," she said, "I must b
seen by them dressed only In male cloth
ing?" "Yes, as a last resource, that Is. I hay
some hope that they may not discover our
whereabouts owing to the precautions w
have adopted. Perched up there on th
ledge we will be profoundly unodmfortable,
but that will be nothing If it secures our
safety."
She did not reply at onoe. Then she said
musingly "Forty-four dayal Surely there
has been ample time to scour the China Sea
from end to end In search of us? My father
would never abandon hope until he had the
most positive knowledge that the Sirdar
was lost with all on board."
The sailor, through long schooling, waa
prepared with an answer "Each day
makes the prospect of escape brighter.
Though I was naturally disappointed this
morning, I must state quite emphatically
that our rescue may come any hour."
Iris looked at htm steadily.
"You wear a solemn face for on whe
speaks so cheerfully," she said.
"You should not attach too great slgnlfl.
cance to appearances. The owl, a very
stupid bird. Is noted for Its philosophical
expression."
'Then we will strive to find wisdom In
words. Do you remember, Mr. Jenks, that
soon after the wreck you told me we might
have to Remain here many months?"
"That was a pardonablo exaggeration,"
"No, no. It was the truth. You are seek
ing now to buoy me up with false hope. It
Is 1C00 miles from Hongkong to Singa
pore and half as much from Slam to
Borneo. The Sirdar might have been driven
anywhere in the typhoon. Didn't you say
so, Mr. JonVs?"
He wavered under this merciless cross-examination.
"I had no idea your memory wa so
good," he said, weakly.
"Excellent I assure you. Moreover, dur
ing our forty-four days together, you hav
taught me to think. Why do you adopt
subterfuge with me? We are partners in
all else. Why cannot I share your despair
as well as your toll?"
She blazed out In sudden wrath, and he
understood that she would not be denied
tha full extent of his secret fear. II
bowed reverently before her, as a mortal
paying homage to an angry goddess.
