Thua far there hae been no attack. CIIAPTKn XI (Continued) HE GAVE Borne order, at which they all hung back sheepishly. Cursing them In choice Malay, the chief seized a thick fag got and' strode In the direction of the ee. Goaded Infn arftvltv hv Ma emm.!, Hw meanor, some followed him, and Jenks unable to see, but listening anxiously knew that they were tearing the cheval de frlse from Its supports. Neertbeless, none of tho working party entered the excaxation. They feared the parched bones that shone by night. "Poor J. S. I" murmured the sailor. "If his spirit still lingers near the scene ot his murder he will thank me for drugging him Into the fray. He fought them living nnd he can tcare them dead." As he had not been able to complete the communicating shaft it was now ot vital Importance should the Draks penetrate to the Interior. Tet he thanked tho good luck that had showered such a heap of rubbish over the spot containing his chief stores and covering the vein of gold. Wild as these fellows were, they knew the value of the precious metal, and If by 'chance they lighted upon such a well-deflncd lode they might not quit the Island for weeks. At last, on a command from the chief, the Dyaks scattered in arlous directions. Some turned toward Europa Point, but the majority went to the east along Turtle Beach or by way of the lagoon. Prospect Park was deserted. They were scouring both sections of the Island In full force. The quiet watcher on the ledge took no needless risks. Though It was Impossible to believe any stratagem had been planned for his special benefit an accident might be tray him. With the utmost circumspection he rose on all fours and with compre hensive glance examined trees, plateau, and both strips of beach for signs of a lurking foe. Ho need have no fear. Of nil places In the Island the Dyaks least imagined that their quarry had lain all night within ear shot of their encampment ' At this hour, when the day had Anally conquered the night and tho placid sea offered a turquols path to tho Infinite, the scene was restful, gently bewitching. He knew that away there to the north, P. and O. steamers, Messageriea Marltlmes, and North German Lloyd liners were steadily churning the blue depths en route to Japan or the Straits Settlements. They carried hundreds of European passengers, men and women, even little children, who were far removed from the knowledge that tragedies such as this Dyak horror lay almost In their path. People In London were Just going to the Theater. He recalled the familiar Jingle of the hansoms scampering along Picca dilly, the more stately pace of the private carriages crossing the Park. Was it possi ble that In the world ot today the world ot telegraphs and express trains, of the newspaper and the motorcar two Inof fensive human beings could be done to death so shamefully and openly as would be the fate of Iris and himself If they fell Into the hands of these savages! It was Incon ceivable, Intolerable I But It was true t And then, by an odd trick of memory, his mind reverted, not to the Yorkshire manor he learned to love as a boy, but to a little French Inland town where he once FARMER SMITH'S gjgg RAINBOW CLUB passed a summer holiday Intent on Improv ing his knowledge of the language. In terior France Is even more remote, more se cluded, more provincial, than agricultural England. There no breath of the outer world Intrudes All Is laborious, circum spect, a trifle poverty-stricken, but beauti fied by an Arcadian simplicity. Yet ono memorable day, when walking by the banks of a river, be came upon three men drag ging from a pool the water-soaked body of a young girl Into whose fair forehead the blunt knob often seen on the back ot an old-fashioned ax had been driven with cruel force. So, even In that tiny old-world hamlet, murder and lust could stalk hand In hand. He hudderod. Why did such a hateful Islon trouble him? Resolutely banning tha raen-wlnged specter, he slid back down the ledge and gently wakened Iris. She sat up Instant'y and gazed at him with wondering eyes. Fearful lest she should forget her sur roundings, he placed a warning Anger on his lips. "Oh," she said In n whisper, "aro they still herer He told her what had happened, and suggested that they should have something to eat while the coast was clear beneath. She needed no second bidding, for tho long vigil of the previous night had made her very hungry, nnd tho two breakfasted right royally on biscuit cold fowl, ham and good water. In this, the Inner section ot their refuge, they could be seen only by a bird or by a man standing on the distant rocky shelf that formed the southern extremity ot the opposite cliff, and the sailor kept a close lookout In that direction. Iris was about to throw the remains of the feast Into an empty oil tin provided for refuse when Jenks restrained her. "No," he said, smilingly, "Scraps should be the Arst course next time. We must not wnsto an atom ot food." "How thoughtlcife of me !" she exclaimed. "Please tell me you think they wilt go away today." ' But tho sailor Aung himself Aat on the ledge nnd grasped a Lee-Metford. "Be Btlll, on your life," ho said. "Squeeze Into your corner. Thero la a Dyak on the opposite cliff." True enough, a man had climbed to tbtt unhappily placed rocky table and was shouting something to a confrere high on tha cliff over their heads. As yet he had not seen them, nor even noticed the place where they were concealed. The sailor imagined, from the Dyak's gestures, that he was communicating the uselessness of further search on the western part ot the Island. , When the conversation ceased ho hoped the loud-voiced savage would descend. But no! The scout looked Into the valley, at the well, the house, the cave. Still he did not see the lodge. At that unlucky moment three birds, driven from the trees on the crest by the passage of the Dyaks, .flew down the face of the cliff and began a circling quest for some safe perch on which to alight Jenks swore with an emphasis not the less earnest because it was mute, and took steady aim nt the Dyak's left breast The birds Auttered about In ever smaller cir cles. Then one ot them dropped easily on to the Up ot the rock. Instantly his bright eyes encountered those of the man and he darted off with a scream that brought his mates after him. The Dyak evidently noted the behavior of the blrda his only lore was the reading of such signs and gazed Intently at the ledge. Jenks he could not distinguish be hind tho screen of grass. He might per haps see some portion of the tarpaulin cov ering the stores, but at the distance It must resemble a weather-beaten segment of the cliff. Yet something puzzled him. After a steady scrutiny he turned and yelled to others on tho beach. The crucial moment had arrived. Jenks pressed the trigger, and the Dyak hurtled through the air, falling headlong out of sight The sound of this, the first shot of real warfare, awoke Rainbow Island Into tre mendous activity. The winged life of the place Ailed the air with raucous 'cries, while shouting Dyaks scurried in all direc tions. Several came Into the valley. Those nearest the fallen man picked him up and carried him to the well. He was quite dead, and, although amid his other Injuries they soon found the bullet wound, they evidently did not know whence the shot came, for those to whom he shouted had no Inkling of his motive, and the slight haze from the ride was Instantly swept away by the breeze. Iris could hear the turmoil beneath, and she tremulously asked "Are they going to attack usT" "Not yet," was the reassuring answer, "I killed the fellow who saw us before ha could tell the others." It was a bold risk, and he had taken It, though, now the Dyaks knew for certain their prey had not escaped, there was no prospect ot their speedy departure. Never theless the position was not utterly hope less. Nono of the enemy could tell how or by whom their companion had been shot. Many among the excited horde Jabbering beneath actually looked at the cliff over and over again, yet failed to noto the potentialities ot the ledge, lth Its few tufts of grass growing where seeds had apparently been blown by the wind er dropped by passing birds. Jenks understood, ot course, that the real danger would arise when they .lslted the scene of their comrade's disaster. Even then the watering balanco of chance might cast the Issue In his favor. He could only wait with ready rlAe, with the light of battlo lowering In his eyes. Of one thing at least he was certain before they con quoted him he would levy n terrlhlo toll. He glanced back at Iris. Her face was pala beneath Its mask of sunbrown She was bent over her Bible, and Jenks did not know that she was reading tho 91st Psalm. Her lips murmured "I will say unto the Lord, He Is my refute and -my fortress; my God, In Him will I trust" The chief was listening Intently to the story of the Dyak who saw the dead man totter and fall. He gave some quick order. Followed by a score or more of his men he wnlked rapidly to the foot ot the cliff where they found the lifeless body. And Iris read "Thou ahalt-not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that fiteth by day." Jenks stole one more hasty glance at her. The chief and tho greater number of his louowers were out or sight behind the rocks. Some of them must now be climb ing to that fatal ledge. Was this the cndT Yet the girl, unconscious of tho doom Im pending, kept her eyes steadfastly Axed on the book. "For He shall give His angels charge over thep, to keep thee In all thy ways. 'They sha(l bear thee up In their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stono, e "lie shall call upon me. and I will answer him; I will be with him In trouble; I will deliver him and honor him." Iris did not apply tho consoling words to herself. She closed the book and bent forward sufficiently in her sheltering niche to permit her to gaze with wistful tender nets upon the man whom she hoped to see delivered and honored. She knew he would dnxi all for her Bake. She could only pray and hope. After reading thoso Inspired verges she placed Implicit trust In the promise made. For He was good: His was the mercy that "endureth forever." Ene mies encompassed them with words .of hatred fought against them without ' n cause but there was One who should "Judge among the heathen" and "fill the places with dead bodies." Suddenly a clamor of discordant yells fell upon her ears. Jenks rose to his knees. The Dyaks had discovered their refuge and were about to open Are. He offered them a target test perchance Iris were not thoroughly screened. "Keep close," he said. "They have found us. Lead will be Aylng around soon." She flinched back Into the crevice; the sailor fell prone. Four bullets spat Into the ledge, ot which three pierced the tar paulin and one Aattened Itself against the rock. Then Jenks took up the tale. So curiously constituted was this man, that although he ruthlessly shot tho saage who first spied out their retreat, he was swayed only by tne dictate ol stern necessity. There was a feeble chance that further blood shed might be averted. That chance had passed. Very well. The enemy must start the dreadful game about to be played. They had thrown the gage and he answered them Four times did the Lee-Metford carry death, unseen, almost unfelt, across the valley. Ere the fourth Dyak collapsed limply where he stood, others were there, tiring at the little puff of smoke above the grass. They got in a few shots, most of which sprayed at various angles off the faca of the cliff. But they waited for no more. When the lever of the Lee-Metford was shoved home for the fifth time the opposing crest was bare ot all opponents save two, and they lay motionless. The fate of the Aanklng detachment was either unperceived or unheeded by the Dyaks left In the vicinity of the house and well. Astounded by tho firing that burst forth In mld-alr, Jenks had cleared the dangerous rock before they realized that here, above their heads, were the white man and the maid whom they sought. With stupid zeal they blazed away fur iously, only succeeding In showering frag ments of splintered stone Into the Eagle's Nest And the sailor smiled. He quietly picked up an old coat, rollod It into a ball and pushed It Into sight amid the grass. Then he squirmed round on his stomach and took up a position ten feet away. Of course those who still carried loaded guns discharged them at tho bundle of rags, whereupon Jenks thrust his rifle beyond the edge of the rock and leaned over. Three Dykas fell before tha remainder Made up their h!w to ran. Vn ami lnced, however, ties, rtntnlmf was Rood, fee their1 health, they moved wfth Rtsjajk celerity, The remaining cartrleVfti In the tnaratlne slackened the pact of two of their mm ber. Jenks dropped the empty weapaa and seised another. He stood tf hew steal sent a quick reminder after the reaimwet pirate. The others had (Heasreared toward the locality where thetr leader and hie diminished troupe were gathered, not dar ing to again com with In ranee of the whistling dnm-dums. The aaHor, holding his rIA as though pheasant shooting, bnt forward and sought a belated opponent but In vain. In military phrase, the tarrala was clear of the enemy. There was m sound save the walling ot birds, the soft sough of the sea and the yelHng of the three wounded men In the house, who knew not what terrors threatened and vainly bawled for succor. Again Jenks could look at Iris. Her face was bleeding. The sight maddened him. "My Ood I" ' he groaned, "are yew wounded?" She smiled bravely at htm. "It Is nothing," she ssld. "A mere splash from the rock which cut my fore head." He dared not go to her. He could only hope that It was no worse, so he turned to examine the valley once more for vestige ot a living foe. citAPTr.n xii A TRUCK THOUGH his eyes, like live coals, glow ered with sullen Are at the Atrip ot sand and the rocks In front, his troubled brain paid perfunctory heed to his task. The stern sense ot duty, the Ingrained fore of long years ot military discipline and soldierly thought, compelled him to keep watch and ward over his fortress, but ha could not help asking himself what would happen If Irla were seriously wounded. There was one enemy more potent than these skulking Dyaks, a foe mors Irresist ible In his might, more pitiless In his strength, whose assaults would tax to the utmost their powers of resistance, In an other hour the sun would be high In the heavens, pouring Its nrrdent rays upon them and drying the blood In their veins. Hitherto, the active lire of the Island, the shade of trees, hut or cave, the power of unrestricted movement and the pos session ot water in any desired quantity, robbed the tropical heat of the day ot Its chief terrors. Now all was changed. In stead ot working amid grateful foliage, they were bound to tho brown rock, which soon would glow with radiated energy and give off scorching gusts like unto the opening of a fumace door. This he had foreseen all along. Tha tarpaulin would yield them some degree of uneasy protection, and they both were In perfect physical condition. But If Iris were wounded I If the extra strain brought fever In Its wake) That way he saw nothing but blank despair, to be ended, for her, by delirium and merciful death, for him by a Berserk rushamong the Dyaks, and one last mad fight against overwhelming numbers. Then the girl's voice reached htm, self reliant almost cheerful "You will be glad to hear that the cut has stopped bleeding. It ls only a scratch." So a kindly Providence had spared them yet a little while. The cloud passed from his mind, the gathering mist from his eyes. , In that Instant he thought he detected a slight rustling among the treea where the cliff shelved up from the house. Stand ing as he was on Uie edge of the rock, this was a point he could not guard against. When her welcomed assurance recalled his scattered sonses, he stepped back lo speak to her, and In the same instant a couple of bullets crashed against the rock overhead. Iris had unwittingly saved him from a serious, perhaps fatal, wound. He sprang to the extreme right ot the ledge and boldly looked Into the trees beneath. Two Dyaks were there, belated wanderers cut off from the main body. They dived headlong Into the undergrowth for safety, but ono of them was too late. The Lee-Metford reached him, and Its rs verberatlng concussion, tossed back and forth by the echoing rocks, drowned his parting scream. In the plenitude of restored vigor the Bailor waited for no counter demonstra tion. He turned and crouchlngly ap proached the southern end of his parapet Through his screen of grass he could dis cern the long black halr and yellow face of a man who lay on the sand and twisted his head around tho base of the further cliff. The distance, oft measured, was ninety yards, the target virtually a six-Inch bullseye. Jenks too careful aim. fired, and a whiff of sand blew up. Perhaps he had used too fine a sight and ploughed a furrow beneath the Dyak's ear. He only heard a faint yell, but the enterprising head vanished and there were no more o!unteers for that particular sen Ice. He was still peering at the place when a cry of unmitigated anguish came front Iris . "Oh. come quick! Our water! The casks have burst!" It was not until Jenks had torn the tarpaulin from their stores, and he was wildly striving with both hsnds to scoop up some precious drops collected in the small hollows of the ledge, that he realized the full magnitude ot the disaster which had befallen them.

They came back, but what bothered the little fellow, who wa 4 last March, was this; "I have committed a wronr. I have done wrong;. I KNOW that I acknowl edge it But WHY should my BODY be punished for what my MIND does?" I want to dwell on tho matter of punishment, for it is going to come up in your life sooner or later, Either you will be punished or you will have to punish some ono else. I would like to have you answer this question, "Why was tho little boy's BODY punished for what his MIND did?" In order to be helpful, let us consider these questions and then remember "Punishment is the result of wrongdoing." If wo ore punished, let us study OURSELVES to see WHY WE GOT PUN ISHED and not why some one punished us. FARMER SMITH, Children's Editor.

About Collecting Stamps Dear Fanner Smith I wish that some of the members would send In matter relat ing to stamps and coins. I think it would be Interesting. Will you please tell me If the stamps from the belligerent foreign countries will be worth a. great deal after the war Is over? Also please telt me where I could get some foreign stamps cheaply. ISIDORE SHEVUS, N. eth street An expert on stamps tells us that the value of stamps being Issued Just at pres ent In the warring countries abroad will de pend on how many ot them are In circula tion. The fewer the stamps of any certain variety the greater the value. Until the war la over It will be difficult to estimate Just now many of each sort were made; therefore until then, the value will be un determined. A list of foreign stamp prices has been sent to you through the mall. We approve of your suggestion that our Rainbow stamp collectors exchange Inter esting matter about their collections through the Rainbow columns. Here is an oppor tunity for our older members to have a common meeting ground. .
