tor who was called out on a case and
had no time to get his dinner before
going. It was a, very severe operation
and ho did not get back to town until 11
o'clock. So being ravenous by that time
he hied himself to the restaurant of tho
station and ordered ono more-than-squaro
meal. Then camo his undoing, for as ho
put his hand Into his pocket to pay his
check, lo, thero wasn't any wallet. He'd
had looso change with which ho had
bought his ticket, but looso chango would
not pay for that sumptuous meal. So he
offered his watch. Tho head waiter, how
ever, being a "gemman" of discretion,
laid that ho could pay tho next day. Hut
so particular was said young physician
that ho marched all tho way homo and
all the way back again that night and
paid his check at 2 g. m.

CHAPTKIi XII (Continued)
DURING tho first rnpld exchange of fire,
before tho enemy vacated tho cliff, sev
eral bullets had pierced the tarpaulin By a
stroko of exceeding bad fortune two of them
had struck each of tho water barrels nnd
started tho stncs. Tho contents quietly
ebbed awny beneath the brond shoot, and
flowing Inward by reason of the sham slonn
of tho ledgo, percolated throURh tho fault.
Iris nnd he, notwithstanding their frenzied
eftorts, wero not nble to sne moro than a
pint of gritty discolored fluid
Tho rest. Infinitely moro valuablo to them
than all tho diamonds of Do Beers, was
now oozing through tho natural channel cut
by centuries of storm, dripping upon tho
headless skeleton In tho cave, sonklng down
to tho cry heart of their burled treasure
Jcnks wns so paralyzed by this catastro
phe that Iris became alarmed As yet she
did not grasp Its awful significance. That
he, her hero, so brave, so confident In tho
faco of many dangers, should betray such
sense of Irredeemable loss, frightened her
much moro than tho Incident ItBclf
Her lips whitened. Her words became In
coherent. "Tell me." she whispered. "I can bear
nnythlng but silence. Tell mo, I Implore
you. Is It so bad 7"
The sight of her distress Bobercd him. Ho
ground his teeth together ns a man does
who submltt to a painful operation and re
solves not to flinch beneath the knife.
"It Is very bad," ho said; "not quite tho
end, but near It."
"Tho end," sho bravely answered, "Is
death' Wo are living nnd uninjured. You
must fight on. If tho Lord wills It wo shall
not die."
He looked In her bluo eyes nnd saw thcro
the light of heaven.
"God bless you, dear girl," he murmured
brokenly "You would cheer any man
through tho Valley of the Shallow, were ho
Christian or Faint-heart."
Her glance did not droop before his. In
such moments heart speaks to heart without
concealment.
"Wo still havo a littlo water," sho cried.
"Fortunately wo are not thirsty. You have
not forgotten our supply of champagne and
brandy?"
Thcro was a species of mad humor In tho
suggestion. Oh for nnothcr miracle that
should chango tho wine Into water 1
He could only fall ln with her unreflec
tlvo mood nnd leave tho dreadful truth to
Its own evil tlmo. In their little nook the
power of the sun had not yet made Itself
felt By ordinary computation It was about
9 o'clock. Iong before noon they would bo
grilling. Throughout the next few hours
they must suffer tho torture of Dives with
one meager pint of water to share between
them Of course, tho wine and spirit must
bo shunned liko a pestilence To touch cither
under such conditions would be courting
heat, apoplexy nnd death. And ncxt'day I
Ho tightened his Jaws beforo he an
"We will console ourselves with a bottle
of champagne for dinner. Meanwhile I hear
our friends shouting to those left on this
side of the Island I must tako an active
Interest In tho conversation."
Ho grnsped a rifle and lay down on the
ledge, already gratefully warm. There was
a good deal of sustained shouting going on.

HOW DID YOU EARN MONEY?
Dear Children Did you earn any money during tho summcrT How did
you earn it?
The reason wo work hard is because wo WANT SOMETHING, is it not?
One boy wo knew 'went to his father and asked for a job. Tho father gave
it to him and he worked two weeks, earned $12 and QUIT,
Now, why did it do tho boy good? Simply because ho had money with
which he could buy Ashing tacklo AND ho learned something about his father's
business.
Do YOU know anything about YOUR father's business?
Beforo I got out of bed this morning one of my boys came with a weekly
magazine which I buy from him overy week.
This young man camo to me and asked mo for something to do. I started
him selling the magazine and now he has $2 more than when ho started.
"Pooh, only $21" I hear some of you saying.
Yes, but our friend is KEEPING DUSY; he is LEARNING THE VALUE
OF MONEY.
Should this boy's father give him $2 it would not look half as big as the $2
earned.
Write mo how YOU make money let us be helpful.

spent our vacation
at Pen Argyl, a beautiful little mountain

travel by trolley or by railroad train.
While there we went swimming, climbed

Jenks thought he recognized the h!efs
voice, giving Instructions to thoso who hnd
como from Smugglers' Cove nnd wero now
standing on the bench nenr tho quarry.
"I wonder If he Is hungry." ho thought.
"If so. 1 will Interfere with the commis
sariat," Iris peeped forth at him.
"Mr. Jenks I"
"Yis," without turning his head. Ho
knew It was an ordinary question.
"May I come too?"
"What I l.ipone yourself on the ledge 1"
'Yes, even that I am so tired of sitting
hero alone."
"Well, there Is no danger at present But
they might chanco to seo you, nnd you re
member what I "
"V. I remember quite well. If that Is
all There was a rustlo of garments.
I am very mannish In appearance. If
you promlso not to look at mo I will Join
you."
"I promise."
Iris stepped forth.' She was flushed a
little, and, to covor her confusion, may
be, she picked up a Lee-Metford,
"Now there are two guns," Bhe said, as
she stood near hlin.
He could seo through the tall of his
eyo that n Blight but elegantly proportioned
young gentleman of the seafaring profeo
jlon had suddenly appeared from nowhoro.
Ho was glad she had taken this courso.
It might better the position were tho Dynks
to see her thus.
'Tho moment I tell you, you must fall
flat," ho warned her. "No ceremony about
It. Just flop!"
"I don't know anything better calculated
to mako ono flop than a bullet," Bhe laughed.
Not yet did tho trngedy of the broken
kegs appeal to her.
"Yes, but It achieves Its purpose In two
ways. I want you to adopt the pre
cautionary method."
'Trust me for that. Good gracious I"
The sailor's rifle went off with nn unex
pected bnng that frozo the exclamation on
hor lips. Threo Dyaks were attempting
to run the gantlet to their beleaguered
comrades. They carried a Jar nnd two
wicker baskets. Ho with the Jar fell nnd
broke It Tho others doubled hack like
hares, nnd the first man dragged himself
after them. Jcnks did not fire again.
Iris wntched the wounded wretch crawling
along the ground. Her eyes grew moist nnd
she paled somewhat When ho vanished
sho looked Into tho valley nnd at tho op
posing ledge; threo men lay dead within
twenty yards of her. Two others dangled
from the rocks. It took her some time to
control her quavering utferanco sufficiently
to say
"I hope I may not havo to use a gun. I
know It cannot bo holped, but If I were to
kill a human being I do not think I would
ever rest again."
"In that caso I have Indeed murdered
sleep today." was the unreeling reply.
"Not no I A man must bo mado of
sterner stuff. We have a right to defend
ourselves. If need be I will exercise that
right. Still It Is horrid, oh, so horrid!"
Sho could not see the sailor's grim smile.
It would materially affect his rest, for the
better, wero he able to slay every Dyak on
tho Island with n simile Bhot. Yet hor
gentle protest pleased him. She could not
nt the snmo tlmo bo callous to human suf
fering and be Iris. But ho declined tho
discussion of such sentiments.
'You were going to say something when
a brief disturbance took place?" ho In
quired. "Yes. I was surprised to find how hot
the ledgo has become."
"You notice It more because you aro
obliged to remain here."
After a pause
"I think I understand now why you were
so upset by tho loss of our wnter supply.
Before tho day ends we will be In great
straits, enduring ngonles from thirst!"
"Let us not meet the devil half-wny,"
he rejoined. Ho preferred the unfair re
tort to a confession which could only foster
dismay,
"Hut. please, I am thirsty now."
He moved uneasily. Ho was only too
conscious oi me impisn wcaKness. common
to all mankind, which creates a desire out
of sheer Inability to satisfy It. Already his
own throat was parched. The excitement
of tho early struggle was In ItBelf enough
to engender an acute thirst He thought
it nest hi meei ineir aDsoiute needs as
far ns possible.
"Bring the tin cup," he said. "Let us
tnko half our store and use tho remainder
when wo eat. Try to avoid breathing
through your mouth. Tho hot nlr quickly
affects tho palate nnd causes artificial dry
nea. Wo cannot yet be In real need of
water. It Is largely Imagination."
Iris needed no second bidding, Sho care
fully measured out half a pint of the un
savory fluid the dregs of tho casks nnd
the scourlngs ot the ledge.
"I will drink first." she cried
"No, no," he Interrupted Impallcntly.
"Qlvo It to me." r
She pretended to be surprised.
"As a mere matter of politeness "
"I am sorry, but I must insist"
She gave him the cup over his shoulder.
He placed it to his lips and gulped steadily.
"Thero," he said, gruffly. "I was lp a
hurry. The Dyaks may make another rush
nt any moment."
Iris looked Into the vessel.
"You have taken none nt all," she said.
"Nonsense !"
"Mr. Jcnks, bo reasonable! You need
It more than I. I d-don't want to llvt.
w-without you."
Mrs hand, shook somewhat. It was well
there was no call for accurate shooting
Just then.
"I assure you I took nil I required," he
declared with unnecessary vehemence.
"At least drink your share, to please
mo," sho murmured.
"You wished to humbug me," he grumbled.
"If you will tako tho first half I will take
the second."
And they settled It thnt way. The few
mouthfuls of tepid water gave them new
life. Ono sense can deceive the others. A
man dovcloplng all the ymptoms of hydro
phobia has been cured by the assurance
that tho dog which bit him was not mad.
So these two, not yet oflnme with drought,
banished tho arid phantom for a little
while.
Nevertheless, by hlffh noon thev wara
suffering again. The time passed very
s.owly, The sun rose to the zenith and
filled earth and nlr with hla ardor. It
seemed to bo a miracle now appreciated
for tho nrst tlmo In their lives that the
sea did not dry up and tho leaves wither
on tho trees.
The silence, me deathly Inactivity of all
things, became Intolerable. The girl bravely
tried to confine her thoughts to the task
of the hour. She displayed alert watchful
ness., an Instant readiness to warn her
companion of tho slightest movement
among the trees or by the rocks to the
northwest this being tho aro of their
periphery assigned to her.
Looking at a sunlit space from cover,
and looking at the same place when swelt
ering In the direct rays of a tropical sun,
are kindred operations strangely diverse
In achievement Iris could not reconcile
tho physical Bonsltlvencss of tho hour with
the careless hardlhocd of the preceding
days. Her eyes ached somewhat for she
had tilted her sou'wester to the back of her
head In the effort to cool her throbbing
temples. She put up her right hand to
shado tho too vivid reflection of the glisten
ing sea, and was astounded to find that In
a few minutes the back of her hand was
scorched. A fnlnt sound of distant shout
ing disturbed her painful reverie.
"How Is It," Bhe asked, "that we feel the
heat so much today? I have hardly no
ticed It before."
"For two good reasons forced Idleness
and radiation from this confounded rock.
Moreover, this Is the hottest day we have
experienced on tho Island. There Is not a
breath of air, and tho hot weather has Just
commenced."
"Don't you think?" she said huskily,
"that our position here Is quite hopeless?"
They wero talking to each other side
ways. Tho sailor never turned hla gaze
from the southern end of the valley.
"It Is no more hopeless now than last
night or this morning," he replied.
"But suppose we are kept here for sev
eral days?"
"That was always an unpleasant prob
ability." "Wo had water then. Even with an ample
supply It would be difficult to hold out
As things are, such a course becomes
simply Impossible."
Her despondency pierced his soul. A slow
agony was consuming her.
"It Is hard, I admit," he said. "Neverthe
less you must bear up until night falls.
Then wo will either obtain water or leave
this place."
"Surely wo can do neither,"
"Wo may bo compelled to do both."
"But how?"
In thla, his hour of extremest need, the
man was vouchsafed a shred of luck. To
answer her satisfactorily would have
baffled a Talleyrand. But before ho could
frame a feeblo pretext for his too san
gulno prediction, a sampan appeared, eight
hundred yards away from Turtle Beach,
and strenuously paddled by three men.
Tho vaguo hallooing they had heard was
explained,
Tho Dyaks, though to the manner born,
wero weary of sun-scorched rocks and salt
water. The boat was coming In response
to their signals, and the sight Inspired
Jenka with fresh hope. Like a lightning
flash came tho reflection that If he could
keep them away from tho well and destroy
the sampan now hastening to their assist
ance, perhaps conveying the bulk of their
stores, they would soon tire of slaking
their thirst on tho few pitcher plants grow
ing on the north shore.
"Come quick," he shouted, adjusting the
backsight of a rifle. "Lie down nnd aim
at tho front of that boat, a little short if
nnythlng. It doesn't matter If the bullets
strlko the sea first"
Ho placed tho weapon In readiness for
her and commenced operations himself be
foro Iris could reach his Bide. Soon both
rifles were pitching twenty shots a minute
at tho sampan. Tho result of their long
range practice was not long In doubt Tho
Dyak danced from seat to seat In a
or who. excitement One man -wa
overboard, Then the craft lurchxl

to leave the rest to him.
Before he could empty a second mantis
a fortunate bullet ripped a plank out Mil
the sampan filled and went down, imM a
shrill yell of execration from the baek mt
the cliff The two Dyake yet living, ess
deavored to swim ashore, half
through shark-lnvested reefs. The me

"Taung S'AII was bewitched. I slew hla

Dyak to approach so near. Tho Mahomrae-

His fears were too well founded. The
Mussulman salaamed respectfully and said'
