Allan Stern nnd the girl now built their
only potuilble hope ot salvation and of
life. i
"Come, wo must be at work!" he told
her. & together they peered over the edge
nnd now beheld the weltering flood creeping
up, up along the thunderous plungo of tho
waterfall till It was within no mora than
a hundred feet ot their belter.
As the depth ot the fall decreased the
rprny-drlve lessened, and now, with tho full
coming ot day, some reflection ot the golden
morning sky crept throuch tho spray. Yet
neither to tho right nor left could they see
shore or anything- cave that long, swift,

man's work cut out for him to get It clear;
but hla was as tho strength ot ten, and be
fore halt an hour had passed he had, with
tho girl's help, freed all tho plnnks and
laid them out along the rock-shelf, the
most sheltered spot ot tho ledge.
The planks were lashed Into a rough
nort ot float "with what cordage remained
and with platted strips ot the mat sail.
"It's not half big enough to hold us up
altogether," Judged the man, "but If we
merely use It to keep our heads out of

of being unalnkable, anyhow. God knows

They waited now calmly, with the reslg-

UP. up, toward the ledge, and now the seethe
was very near. Now already the leaping
-.v, f ih,, nlunse was dashing up against
thalr rock. In a few moments the shelter
would bo submerged.
He put his lips cIom to her ear, for now
his volco could not carry.
"Let's Jump for It!" he cried. "If we
wait till the flood reaches us here we'll
be crushed sgalnst ths rock. Como on,
Beatrice, we've got to plunger
She answered with her syes; he knew
the girl was ready. To him hs drew her
and their kiss was one that spoke eternal
farewell But of this thought no word
pasted their- lips.
"Coras!" bade the man once more.
How they leaped Into the vortex ot mad
waters, how they vanished In that than
derous welter, rose, sank, fought, strangled,
rose again and caught ths air, and once
more wero whirled down and burled In
that crushing avalanche j how they clung
to the Uahed planks and with tbtse splraled
In mad sarabands among the whirlpools and
green eddies; how they were flung out Into
Fmooiher water, blinded and deafened yet
with still the Vpark of life and conscious
ness within them, and how they let the"
frail raft bear them, fainting and dated,
all their senses eoncentrated Just on grip
ping this support all this they never oould
pave tPld.
ytern knew at last, with something q
clarity, that he was floating eaally along
an eijy current whlsh ran, undulating, be
neath a sUte-gray mist; he realised that
with one band he was grasping the planks,
with the other arm upbearing the girl.
1'ale and with cloud eyes, she lay there
In the hollow 'of his arm. her face tree
from water, her Ions hair floating out upon
the tide.
He 'saw her lids twitch and knew abe

he saw a gotden sun that weltered all
across the heaving flood In a brave eptin
dor i and, oft to northward, a wooded line
ot hills, blue In the distance, yet beautiful
with their promtto of salvation.
Stern understood, then, what must have
happened He saw that the untitling ot the
abyss, whatever might have caused It, had
flung them forth: he perceived that the
temporary flood whloh had taken place be
fore onca more another terrlflo down-draft
should pour Into the gaping chasm, had
cast them out, floated by their raft ot
planks, een as mstoh-straws might be
flung and floated on the outburst ot a gey
ser.
He understood: he knew that fortune
favoring, life stilt beckoned there ahead.
And In his heart resolve leaped unv
"Life! Ufe" he cried "Oh, Beatrice,
look? Seel There's land ahesd. there

But ths girl, still circled by his arm,
lay senceleee. Allan knew be could make
no progress In that manner. So by dint of
great labor, he managed to draw her some
what on to tho float nnd there to lash her
with a loose end of cordage In such wise
that she could breathe with no danger of
drowning.
He summoned all his forces, and now
began to ewlm through the smooth tides,
which, warm with somo grateful heat, vast
ly unlike the usual ocean chill, stretched
lastly rolling away and away to that far-off
shore.
Thst day was long and bitter, nn agony
of toll, hope, despair, labor nnd struggle,
and the girl, reviving, shared It toward
the end. Only their frail raft fenced death
away, but eo long as the buoyant plnnki
held togsther they could not drown.
Thirst and exhaustion tortured them, but
thero was no hope of appeal to any help,
In this mnnleas world thero oould be no
rescue. Here, thero, a few gulls wheeled
and screamed above the flood: nnd once a
school of porpoises, glistening as they
curved their shining backs In long leaps
through the brine, played post. Allan and
the girl envied the creatures, nnd renewed
their fight for life,
The south wind favored, nnd what seamed
a landward current drew them on. Their
own strength, too. In spite of the long fast
and the Incredible hardships, held out well,
lor now that clvltliatlon was a thing of
tho oblivious past, they shared the vital
force nnd the very powers of Mother Nat
ura herself And. Ilka two favored children
ot that all-mother, they slowly made their
wnv to land.
Night found them utterly exhausted nnd
soaKert to the marrow, yet alive, stretched
out nt full length. Inert, upon the warm
ennrts of a virgin beich. There they lay.
supine, above high tide, whither they had
dragged themeelves with terrible exertion.
And tho stars wheeled overhead ; nnd down
upon them the itrange-fentured moon won
dered with her pallid gleam.
Flreless, foodlexa nnd without shelter, un
protected In erery way. possessing nothing
now save Just their own btxllen nnd the
draggled garments that they wore, thoy lay
nnd slept. In their supreme exhaustion
they risked attack from wild beast and
from nnthrnpolds. Sleep to them was now
the one vital. Inevitable necessity.
Thun the long night hours passed nnd
strength revived In them, up-welllng like
fresh tides of life ; nnd once more a new day
grayed tho rat, then transmuted to bright
gold nnd blsioned Its Insignia nil up the
eastern sky.
Stern woke first, dazed with the long
sleep, toward mldmornlng A little while
he lay ns though adrenm, trying to realise
what had happened ; but soon remembrance
knitted up the fabric of the peril and the
close escapo. And arising Btlflly from the
sand, he stretched his splendid musctei,
rubbed his eyes and stared about htm.
A burning thirst was tormenting him.
His tongue clave to the roof of his mouth;
hn found, by trial, that ne could scarcely
swallow.
"Water!" gasped ho, and peered at the
deep green woods, which promised abundant
brooks and streams.
But before ha started nn that quest he
looked to sea that Beatrice was safe and
sound. The girl still slept, rlendlng above
her he mndo euro thst ehe was resting
easily ar.d that she had taken no harm.
But the Mm. ho saw, wan shining In liar
face.
'That won't do nt all!" he thought; and
now with a double motive he strode off up
the beach, townrd the dense forest that
grew down to the line of shifting sands.
Ten minutes and he nad discovered a
spring that bubbled out beneath a mosn
hung rock, a spring whereof ho drank till
renewed life ran through his vigorous body.
And after thst he sought and found with
no greet labor a tree of the namo species
ot breadfruit that grew all about their
bungalow on the Hudson.
Then, bearing branches of fruit, and a
huge, trended tuft of t.ie giant fern-trees
that abounded there, mi came back down
the bench to the sleeping girl, who still
lay unconscious In her tiger skin, her heavy
hair spread drying on tho sands, her face
burled In the warm soft hollow of her arm.
Ha thrust the stalk of the fern-tree
branch far down Into the sand, bending It so
that the thick leaves shaded her. He ate
plentifully of the fruit and left much for
her. Then he knelt and kissed her fore
head lightly, and with smile upon his
lips set off along the beach.
A rocky point that rose baldly against the
morning, a quarter mile to southward, was
h(s objective.
"Whntever's to bs seen round here can
be seen from there," said he. "I've got
my Job cut out fur m, ait right here we
are, stranded, without a thing to servo us,
no tools, weapons or Implements or sup
plies of any kind nothing but our bare
hands to work with, and hundreds of miles
between us and the place we rail home. No
boat no conveyance at all. Unknown
country, full of God knows what perils I"
Thinking, he strode along the tine, smooth,
even sands, where never yet a human foot
had trodden. For the first tlmo he seemed
to realize Just what this world now meant
a world devoid of others of his kind, While
the girl and he had been among the ruins
of Manhattan, or even on the Hudson, they
had felt some contact with the past; but
here Stern's eye looked out over a world as
virgin as 'on the primal morn. And a at
loneliness assailed him, a yearning almost
Insupportable, that made him clench his
fists and raise them to the Impassive,
empty sky that mocked him with Its deep
and acuro calm.
But from the rocky point, when he had
scaled Its height, he saw far off to west
ward a rising column of vapor whloh,
for a while diverted his thoughts, Hs
recognised the column, even though ho
could not hear the distant roaring of the
cataract he knew lay under It And, stand
ing erect and tall on the topmost pinnacle,
eyes shaded under his level band, he studied
the strange sight.
"Yes, the flood's ruining In again, down
that vast chasm," he exclaimed, "The
Chasm that nearly proved a grave to us I
And every day the same thing happens
but hew and why? By Jove, here's a
problem worthy a bigger brain than mine I
"Well, I can't solve It now. And there's
enough to do, without bothering about the
maelstrom except to avoid It I"
He swept the sea with his gaze. Far off
to southward lay a dim, dark line, whloh.
at one time must have been Long Island;
but It was Irregular now, and faint, and
showed that the Island had been virtually
submerged or swept away by the vast
geodetic changes ot tbo age since the
catatrophe. '
A broken shore-line, heavily hooded,
stretched to east and west. Stern sought
In vain for any landmark which might
give htm position on a shore onca so
familiar to him. Whether h now stood
near the former site ot New Haven, whether
he was lu the vleinlty ot tb ono-tlrno
mouth of the Connecticut River, or whether
the shore where he now stood had ones
been Rhode island, there was no means of
telling. Even ths far line of land oa the
borteoa oould not guide hUn.
"if that Is some remnant ef Long Island,"
there's no wajr to t sure, Otiwr Islam!
may have been heaved tip from the. ocean
floor. There's nothing definite or certain
about anything now, except that we're both
al've, without a thing to help us but our
wits, and that I'm starving for something
more substantial than Hint breadfruit I"
Wherewith he went back to Beatrice.
He found her. nwake at t.st sitting on
the beach under the shadow of the fern
tree brunch, shaking out her hair and
braiding It In two thick plaits. He brought
her water In a. cup deftly fashioned from a
huge leaf and when she had drunk nnd
eaten some of the fruit they sat nnd talked
a while In the grateful warmth of the sun.
She seemed depressed nnd disheartened,
nt last ss they dlseused whnt had hap
pened and spoke ot the future.
This last misfortune. Allan," said she.
"Is too much. There's nothing now except
life i'
"Which Is everything!" ho Interrupted,
laughing. "If we can weather a tlmo like
thst nothing In store for us can have any
terrors!" Ills own spirits rose fast whllo
hs cheered the girl.
He drew his arm about her ns they sat
together on the beach.
"Just be patient, that's alt," bade he.
"Juit give me a day or so to And out our
location, and I'll get things going again,
never fear. A week from now wo may bo
sailing Into Boston Harbor who knows?"
And, shipwrecked nnd destitute though
they were, atone In the vast emptiness ot
that d!erted world, yet with his optimism
and his faith he coaxed her back to cheer
fulness nnd smiles again.
'The whole earth U ours, and tho fullness
thereof!" ho cried, and flung his arms
defiantly outward. 'This Is no tlmo for
hesltnneo or fear, Victory lies all before
us yet To work I To work I"
