very attractive men as husbands.
- Making promises to one's children Is
sometimes a dangerous proceeding when
things happen as they did recently In a
L 'certain family I know of. Tho four llttlo
boys were sent for ono day to see a new
baby brother, and mother, in an excess of
enthusiasm-over their delight, said, "Now
.you boys may1 decide on hl3 name and I
'thatl havo him christened Just the namo
you choose.", Well, discussion upon dls-
'eusalon followed among, tho small broth
ers and no decision seemed to suit all

T THIS rate of progress," said Jenksto
the girl, "they will not reach our
house until daylight"
"I almost wish they were here," was the
quiet reply. "I And this waiting and lis
tening to be trying to the nerves."
They were lying on a number ot ragged
garments hastily spread on tho ledge, and
peering Intently Into the moonlit area of
Prospect rark. Tho great rock Itself was
shrouded In somber shadows. Even If they
stood up none could see them from the
ground, bo dense was tho darkness envelop
ing them. k . . , . . ,
He turned Bllghtly nnd took her hand.
It wns cool and moist It no more trembled
than his own.
"Tho Dyaks are far more scared than
you." he murmured with a laugh. "Cruel
and courageous as they are, they dare not
face a spook."
Then what a pity It Is we cannot con
jure up n ghost for their benefit 1 All tho
spirits I have ever rend about were ridicu
lous. Why cannot one be useful occa
sionally?" ,, ,
The question set him thinking. Unknown
to the girl, the materials for a dramatlo
apparition were hidden amid the bushes
near tho well. He cudgoled his brain to
remember tins stage effects of Juvenile days ;
but theso needed limelight blue flares, mir
rors, phosphorus.
Tho absurdity of hoping to devise nny
such accessories while perched on a ledge
In a remote Island a larger reef ot the
thousands In the China Sea tickled him.
"What Is It?" asked Iris.
He repeated his list ot missing stage
properties. They had nothing to do but to
wait, and people tn tho very crux and mael
strom of existence usually discuss trivial
things.
"I don't know anything about phos
phorus," said the girl, "but you cn obtain
queer results from sulphur, and there Is an
old box of Norwegian matches resting at
this momont on the shelf In my room. Don't
you remember? They were In your pocket,
and you wero going to throw them away.
Why, what are you doing?"
For Jenks had cast the rope ladder loose
and was evidently about to descend.
"Hnvo no fear," ho said; "I will not be
away five minutes."
"If you are going down I must come with
you. I will not be left here alone."
"J'Icaso do not stop me," he whispered
earnestly. "Ton must not come. I will
take no risk whatever. If you remain here
ypu enn warn mo Instantly. With both of
us on tho ground wo will Incur real danger.
I want you to keep a sharp lookout toward
Turtlo Beach In case the Dyaks come that
way. Those who are crossing the Island
will not reach us for a long time."
She yielded, though unwillingly. She was
tremulous with anxiety on his account
Ho vanished without another word. She
next saw him In the moonlight near the
well. He was rustling among the shrubs,
and he returned to the rock with something
whlto In his arms, which he seemingly de
posited at the mouth of the cave. He went
back to the well and carried another sim
ilar burden. Then ho ran toward the house.
Tho doorway was not visible from the
ledge, and she passed a few horrible mo
ments until a low hiss beneath caught her
car. She could trjl by tho creak of the
rope ladder that he was ascending. At

A true story by MARGARET H US SET, lit.
Vernon street.
Perhaps the Rainbows would like to hear
about my trip over from England. My
home was in Manchester. The first part ot
my trip I did not enjoy, as the weather was
try bad. The water was very rough for
the first three or four days, making it so
we had to keep In the cabin moit of the
time. I had the pleasure ot seeing a whale,
also a large Iceberg, Then a very bad storm
came on and after that was over It was
very cold and the rain froze on the deck,
making It Impossible to go pn deck, I was
seasick the first three days, but I enjoyed
the trip very much, I wish all the members
could have the same trip aa l had.

with a gasping sob:
"Don't go away again. I cannot stand

He thought It best to soothe her agitation
by arousing Interest. Still hauling In tho
ladder with one hand, he held oU the other,
on which luminous wisps were writhing llkb
glowworms' ghosts.
"You are responsible," he said. "You

She understood that he did not wish her

now that he was safe, might have van
quished her terror, nnd led to another de
mand for enlightenment, but at that Instant
the sound of an angry voice nnd the crunch
ing of coral away to the left drove nil clsa
from her mind.
They are coming by way of tho beach,
after all." whispered Jenks.
Ho was mistaken, tn a sense. Another
outburst of Intermittent firing among the
trees on the north of the ridge showed that
some, at least, ot the Dyaks were advanc
ing by their former route. The nppearnnce
of the Dyak chief on the flat belt of shingle,
with his right arm slung across his breast,
accompanied by not more than halt a dozen
followers, showed that a few hardy pplrlts
had dared to pass the Valley of Death
with all Us nameless terrors.
They advanced cautiously enough, as
though dreading a surprise. The chief car
ried a bright parang In his left hand; the
others were armed with guns, their swords
being thrust through belts. Creeping for
ward on tiptoe, though their distant com
panions wero making a tremendous row,
(hey looked a murderous gang as they
peered across the open space, now brilliant
ly Illuminated by the moon.
Jenks had a sudden Intuition that the
right thing to do now wns to shoot tho
whole party. He dismissed the thought at
once. All his preparations wero governed
by tho hope that tho pirates might abandon
their quest after hours of fruitless search.
It would be most unwise, he told himself,
to precipitate hostilities. Far better avoid
a conflict altogether. If that wero possible,
than risk the Immediate discovery of his In
accessible retreat.
In other words, he made a grave mistake,
which shows how a man may err when
ovcragonlzed by the danger of the woman
he loves. The bold course wns tho right
one. By killing the Dyak leader ho would
have deprived the enemy of the dominating
Influence In this campaign ot revenge.
When the main body, already much per
turbed by tho unseen nnd Intangible agen
cies which opened Are at them In tho wood,
arrived In Prospect Park to find only tho
dead bodies of their chief and his Bmall
force, their consternation could bo turned
Into mad panic by a vigorous bombardment
from the rock.
Probably, In less than an hour after their
landing the whole trlbo would have rushed
pell-mell to the boats, cursing the folly
which led them to this devil-haunted Island.
But It serves no good purpose to Bay what
might have been. As It was the Dynks,
silent now and moving with the utmost
caution, passed the well, and were about to
approach the cave when one of them saw
the house.
instantly they changed their tactics. Re
treating hastily to the shade of the opposite
cliff they seemed to await the coming of
reinforcements. The sailor fancied that a
messenger was 'dispatched by way of the
north sands to hurry up the laggards be-
cuuse me distant uring slacKened, and five
minutes later a fierce outbreak of yells
among the trees to the right heralded a
comDinea rusn on the Belle Vue Castle.
The noise made by tho savages v. an so-
BTeai mo screams ot bewildered birds
circling overhead so Incessant that Jonks
was compelled to speak quite loudly when
ne saiu to iris:
'They must think we sleep soundly not
io do msiurDea Dy tne volleys they have
fired already."
She would have answered but he placed
a restraining hand on her shoulder, for tho
Dyaks, qulckty discovering that the hut
was empty, ran toward the cave nnd thus
came in run view.
As well as Jenks could Judge, the fore

learning too late Its formidable nature. Tho
wounded men shrieked In agony, but their
cries were drowned In a torrent of amazed
shouts from their companions. Forthwith
there waa a stampede toward the well, tho
cliff, the beaches, anywhere to get away
from that awesome cavern where ghosts
dwelt and men fell maimed at the very
threshold. Tho sailor, leaning as far over
the edge of the rock as the girl's expostu
lations would permit, heard a couple of men
groaning beneath, while a third limped
away with frantic nnd painful haste.
"What Is It?" whispered Iris, eager her-
to the amlte
self to witness the tumult "What has hap
pened ?"
'They have been routed by a box of
mntches and a few dried bones," he an
swered. There was no time for further speech.
Ho was nbsorbed In estimating the prob
able number of tho Dyaks. Thus for, he
had seen about fifty. Moreover, he did not
wish to acquaint Iris with the actual de
tails of the artifice that had been so
potent Her allusion to the box of water
sodden T&ndstlckors gave him the notion
of utilizing as an active ally the bleached
remains of tho poor fellow who had long
ago fallen a victim to this Identical mob of
cutthroats or their associates. He gathered
the principal bones from their resting place
near tho well, rubbed them with the ends
ot tho mntches after damping the sulphur
again, nni arranged them with ghastly
effect on the pile of rubbish at the further
end of the cave, creeping under the cheval
de frlse for the purpose.
Thouch not so vivid ns he wished, the
pale-glimmering headless skeleton fn the
lntenso darkness ot the Interior was appall
ing ehough In alt conscience. Fortunately
the fumes of the sulphur fed on the bony
substance. They endured n sufllclent time
to scaro ovory Dyak who caught a glimpse
of the monstrous object crouching In
luminous horror within the dismal cavern.
Not even tho stirring exhortations of the
chief, whose voice was raised In furious
speech, could Induce his adherents to
again approach that affrighting spot. At
last the daring scoundrel himself, still
wielding his naked sworrt, strode right up
to the very doorway. Stricken with sud
den stupor, ho gazed nt the fitful gleams
within. He prodded the cheval de frlse
with the parang. Here was something
deflntto nnd solid. Then ho dragged ono of
tho wounded men out Into Iho moonlight.
Again Jenks experienced an itching de
slro to send a bullet through the Dynk's
head; again he resisted the Impulse. And
so passed that which Is vouchsafed by Fate
to few men a second opportunity.
Another vehement haranguo by tho chief
goaded some venturesome spirits Into
carrying their wounded comrade out of
sight, presumably to the hut Inspired by
their leader'B fearless example, they even
removed tho third Injured Dyak from the
clnlty of tho cave, but tho celerity of
their retreat caused the wretch to bawl In
agony.
Their next undertaking was no sooner
appreciated by the sailor than ho hurriedly
caused Iris to shelter herself boneath the
tnrpatiltn, while he cowered close to the
floor ot tho ledge, looking only through the
screen of tall grasses. They kindled a fire
near the well. Soon Its ruddy glare lit up
the dark rock with fantnstlo fllckerlngs,
and drew scintillations from tho weapons
and ornaments of the hideously picturesque
horde gathered In Its vicinity.
They spoko a language of hard vowels
and nnsal rcsonarce, and ate what he
Judged to bo dry fish, millets nnd otrlps of
tough preserved meat, which they cooked
on small Iron skewers stuck among the
glowing embers. His heart sank as he
counted sixty-one, all told, assembled with
in forty yards of the ledge.
Probably several others were guarding
the boats or prowling about the Island. In
deed, events proved that more than eighty
men had come ashore in three large sam
pans, roomy and fleet craft well fitted for
piratical excursions up river estuaries or

to tno Knee, ana sandals. One man differed
essentially from the others. He was habited

while the swarthy Dyaks wero yellow be
neath the dirt Jenks thought from the
manner In which his turban was tied, that
he must he a Punjabi Mussulman very
likely an escaped convict from the Anda
mans. Tho most careful scrutiny did not reveal
any arms of precision. They all carried
muzzle-loaders, either antiquated flintlocks,
or guns sufficiently modern to be fitted with
nipples for percussion caps.
Kach Dyak. of course sported a parang
and dagger-like krlss; a few bora spears,
and about a dozen shouldered a long
straight pleco of bamboo. The nature of
this Implement the sailor could not de
termine at the moment When the knowl
edge did come. It cams bo rapidly that he
was saved from many earlier hours of abid
ing dread, for one of those Innocuous-looking
weapons was fraught with more quiet
tleadllness than a Oatllng gun.
In the neighborhood of the fire an ani
mated discussion took place. Though It was
easy to see that the chief was all-paramount,
his fellow tribesmen exercised a
democratlo right of free speech and out
spoken opinion.
Flashing eyes and expressive hands were
turned toward cave and hut. Once, when
the debate grew warm, the chief snatched
up a burning branch and held It over the
blackened embers of the fire extinguished
by Jpnlts. Ho seemed to draw some definite
conclusion from nn examination of the char
coal, and the argument heaeefettli
ceeded with less emehasls. Whatever K

"Will It be dawn soonf

"Sleep I With those men so near?"

trenches, the sailor who has heard a fleres

can appreciate the reason why Iris, weary
and surfeited with excitement would have
slept wero she certain that the next sunrise
would mark her last hour on earth.
Jenks. too, composed himself for a brief
rest He felt assured that there was not
the remotest chance of their lofty pereh
being found out before daybreak, and the
flrst faint streaks of dawn would awaken
him.
These two, remote, abandoned, hopelessly
environed by a savage enemy, closed their
eyes contentedly and awaited that which'
the coming day should bring forth.
When the morning breeze swept over the
ocean and the stars were beginning to pale
before the pink glory flung broadcast
through the sky by tha yet Invisible sun,
tile sailor was aroused by the quiet flutter
ing of a bird about to settle on the rock,
but startled by the alght of hurt.
His faculties were at once- on, the alert
though he little realized the danger betok
ened by the bird's rapid dart Into the void.
Turning first to peer at Iris, he satisfied
himself that she was till asleep. Her lips
were slightly parted In a smile ; she might
be dreaming of summer and England. He
noiselessly wormed his way to the verge
of tho rock and looked down through the
grass roots.
The Dyaks were already stirring. Some
were replenishing the Are, others were
drawing water, cooking, eating, smoking
long thin-stemmed pipes with absurdly
email "bowls, or oiling their limbs and
weapons with Impartial energy. The chief
yet lay stretched on the sand, but when
the flrst beams of the sun gilded the waters,
a man stooped over the prostrate form and
said something that caused the sleeper to
rise stiffly, supporting himself on his unin
jured arm. They at once went off together
toward Europa Point
"They have found the boat" thought
Jenks. "Welt, they are welcome to all the
Information It affords."
The pair soon returned. Another Dyak
advanced to exhibit one of Jenks's spring
gun attachments. The savages had a sense
of humor. Several laughed heartily when
the cause of their overnight alarms was
revealed. The chief alone preserved a
gloomy and saturnine expression,
