WHAT had she heard or seen down In the
caves? Beatrice had now neither time
nor Inclination to ak
"Listen, old mother," she commanded.
"I am now going to leave you and my fcon
here together. After I am gone lock the
door Let no ono In. 1 alone shall enter.
My signal shall bo two knocks on the door,
then a pause, then three Do not open
till you hear that signal. You understand
me?"
"I understand and T obey. O Yulcla noa!"
"It Is well Guard my on as your life.
Now I go to sec tho wounded and the kick
again'" . ,
The old woman let her out and carefully
bnrred the door behind her Beatrice, un
afraid, with both her weapons lying loose
In their holsters, belted under her lobe,
adanced alone down the terrace path.
Her hair had once mote been bound up.
She had tecovered something of her poise
and strength The realization of her mis
sion Inspired her to any sacrifice.
"It's all for your sake. Allan," she whis
pered as she went. "All for yours and
our boy's '" . .
Far beneath her New Hope River purled
and sparkled In the morning sun. Beyond,
tho far and Uvld tropic forest stretched
In wild beauty to the hills that marked
the world's end those hills beyond which
She put awav the thought, refusing to
admit even the possibility of Allan's failure,
or accident, or death.
"Ho will come back to me I" she said
bravely and proudly, for a moment stopping
to face the sun "Ho will come back from
beyond those hills and trackless woods ' He
will come back to us '"
Again she turned, and descending some
dozen steps In the terrace path, once more
reached the doorway ot the hospital cave.
Pausing not, hesitating not, she lifted the
rudo latch and pushed.
The door refused to give.
Again she tried more foiclbly.
It still resisted.
Throwing all her strength against thcr
barrier, fche fought to thrust It Inward It
wou'd not budge.
"Iiarred!" she exclaimed, nghaet.
Only too true. During her absence,
tho igh how or by whom she could not know,
the door had been Impassably closed to keep
her out !
Who, now, was working against her will?
Could it bn that H'jeinha, all burned and
blinded as he was, could have tetuined so
soon and once more set himself to thwart
her? And If not tho spilth, then who?
"Rebellion!" she exclaimed. "It's spread

loudly In the Merucaan tongue
No answer.
She snatched out a pistol, nnd with the
fault loudly smoto the planks of palm wood
Within, tho echoes rumbled dully, but no
human volco replied.
"Traitors! Cowards!" she defied thn op
posing power. "I, a woman, your mistress,
am come to save you and you bar mo out I
Won on you ' Woo I"
Waiting not, but now with greater haste,
sho ran down along the pathway toward the
next door.
That, too, was sealed And the net, and
the fourth, and all, every one, both on tho
upper and the lower terrace, all all wero
barricaded. ocii to the great gap made by
the landslide. '
From within no sound, no reply, no slight
est sign that any heard or noticed her.
Dumb, mute, passive, Invincible rebellion'
In vain sho called, commanded, pleaded,
explained, entreated. No nnswer Tho white
barbarians, all banded ngalnst her now,
had shut thcmscltes up with their wounded
and their dying to wait their destiny alone
How many were already dead? How
many might yet be wued who would dp
without her help" Sho could not tell The
uncertainty m.iddened her
"If they den up, that way, ' nho raid,
"pestilence may bre.ik out among them and
all may die! And then what? If I'm left
alono In the wilderness with (ictafatn and
tho boy what then?"
The thought was too horrible for con
templation. So many blows had crashed
home to her soul the last week oven tho
last few hours that the girl felt numbed
and dazed ns 'n n nightmare
It was, It must be. all some frightful un
leallty Allan's absence, tho avalanrhe,
H'jemba's attack and this widespread, silent
dellnanco of her power
Only a few days before Alia" hid been

Authority had been supi 1 .Imr,
content, prosperity had if i ' '' ltli
and life and vigor had t. - 'ote.
On the horizon of existence n ,uJ ; none

And now, suddenly am i n' m !
With a groan that was ' her face

Beatrice turned hack up tin. ' r t3.xth.
bark up tho steep, toward the j door
still at her command Hope Villa
Hack Inward tho only one of these strange
Folk still loyal ; bnck toward her child.
I Ier head felt strangely giddy The
depths nt her left hand, below the parapet
of stone, seemed to be call calling In
sistently. Before her sight something like a
veil was drawn; nnd yet It was not a veil,
but a peculiar haze, now and then Inter
shot with sparkles of pale light
Through her mind (littered for the first
tlmo something like an adequate realization
of her vast, abjsmal gulf In culture status
still yawning between these barbarians and
Allan and herself
"Civilization," she stammered In an odd
volco ; "why that means generations I"
"All at once she wondered If she were
going to faint A sudden pain had stabbed
her temples: a humming had attacked her
cars.
Sho put out her hand against the rock
wall ot the cliff at the right to steady her
self. Her mouth felt hot and very dry,
"I I must get back home," she said
weakly. "I'm not at all well this morn
ing. Overexertion "
Painfully she began to climb the stepped
path toward tho upper level nnd Cliff Villa.
r.i again It seemed to her the depths were
calling; but now she felt positive she heard
a voice a volco she knew but could not

near all ery strange, unreal and terrify
ing "Oh am I going to be HI?" she panted.
"No, no' I mustn't! For the boy's sake,
I mustn't' I can't!"
With a tremendous effort, now crawling
rather than walking for her knees wero as
water the girl dragged herself up tho path
almost to her doorway.
Again sho heard the call, this time no
hallucination, but reality
"Beatrice' Beatrice I" the voice was
shouting "O-hel Beatrice'"

revulsion from long pain, thrashed terribly
In her breast
Gasping with emotion, burned with the
first sudden onset of a consuming fever,
half blind, shivering, parched nnd In agony,
the girl made a tremendous effort to hear,
to see, to understand,
"Allan Allnnl" sho shouted wildly,
"Where nre you? Where?"
"Beatrice 1 Hero I On the bridge I I'm

She turned her dimming eyes toward the
suspension bridge hung high above the
swift and lashing ra! Ms of New Hope River
tho bridge, n cobweb-strand In space,
across the chasm ,
There It seemed to, her, though now she
could be sum of nothing, so strangely did
tho earth and sky and rllffe, the bridge,
tho Jungle, nil dance and Interplay there,
It seemed, she saw a moving figure.
Disheveled, torn, almost nnked, lamo and

hanging fast to the r ' n 'u nnie great

She saw It, and sho , nv ' tic truth at
last
"Allan! Allan como quick! Help me

Then she collapsed At her door she fell.
All things blent nnd swirled, faded, dark
ened. She knew no more.
CIIAI'Tllfl XMV
"The Hoy Is Oone"
THE man, weak, wounded, racked with
exhaustion from the terrible ordeal of
tho last dnjs. felt fresh lgor leap through
his spent veins at sight ot her distress,
nfar.
Ho broke Into a strange, limping run
across the slight and shaking brldgo; and
as ho ran ho called to her, words of cher
nnd greeting, woids of encouragement nnd
ne
Hut when, having penetrated tho palisad
ed nrea nnd stumbled down tho terraces,
he reached her aide, ho stopped -hort. shak
ing, speechless, with w ide and terror
stricken ees.
"Beatrice' Beta' My Ood, what's
what's happened hero?" he stammered,
kneeling beside her, raising her In his weak
ened nrms. covering her pallid faro with
kisses chafing her throat, her temples, her
hand
Tin1 girl gave no sign of returning con
sciousness Allan stnred about him, sens
ing a great and deastatlng change since
his departure, but as yet u-ablo to com
prehend Its nature
And, worse than all, hero Beatrice now
lay In his aims, stricken by some strng6
malady Ho could not know tho cause
the sleepless nights, tho terrible toll, tho
shattering nervous strain of catastrophe, of
nursing, nf tho swift rebellion.
But ho saw plainly now tho girl was
burning with fever. And, raising his faco
to hcaen, ho uttered a cry, halt a groan,
half a sob the cry of u soul racked too
long upon tho torture wheel of fate.
"Hut but Where's the boy '" he asked
himself, strMng to iccover his self-control;
trying to iirderstand, to act, to avo.
"What's happened here? Ood knows! An
earthquake'' Disaster, at any rato! Be
atrico' Oh, my Beta' Speak to me'.'
Unable to solvo any of the terrlblo
problems now beating In upon him, ho
raised her still higher in his arms.
Loudly ho shouted for help down tho
terrace, cilllng on his Folk to show them
selves; to come to him and to obey
But though the shattered cliff rang with
his commands, no ono appeared. In all
seeming as deserted and as void of human
life as on the first day ho and Beta had
set foot there, tho canyon brooded under
the morning sun, and for all answer rote
only tho foaming tumult of tho rapids far
below.
With a strength he knew not lay now
In his wasted arms, he lifted her bodily
and rarrled her to the door of Cliff Villa,
their home among the' mnsshe buttresses
of rock.
But. to his vast astonishment and ter-,
ror, he found tho door refused to open.
It was fast barred inside.
i:en from his own house ho found him
self shut out, an exile and a stranger'
Loudly ho shouted for admission, sav
agely beat upon the planks, all to no pur
pose There came no sound from within,
no answering word or sign.
Kagerly listening for perhaps the cry of
his child, ho heard nothing. A tombllko
silence blooded theie, as In all the stricken
colony.
Then Allan, fired with a burning fury,
laid tho girl down again, and seizing a
great boulder from the top of the parapet
that guarded tho terraced walk, dashed It
against tho door. Tho planlta groaned and
quivered, but held.
Recoiling, exhausted by even this single
effort, tho disheveled, wounded man stared
with haggard eyes at the hairier
The very strength ho had put Into that
door to guard his treasuies. his wife and
his son, now defied him. And a curse, bit
ter as death, burst from his tiembllng
lips
Hut now he heard a sound, a word, a
phiase or two of Incoherent speech.
Whirling he saw tho girl's mouth move
In her delirium she was speaking.
Ho knelt again bcsldo her. cradled her
In his arms, kissed and cherished her
nnd he heard broken, disjointed words
words that filled him with passionate rage
and overpowering woe.
"So many dead so many ' And so
many dying. You, H'yemba! You beast!
Let mo go ! Oh, when the master comes !"
Allan understood nt last. His mind,
now clear, despito tho maddening tor
ments of the last week, grasped the situa
tion in a kind ot supersensitive clalroy
ancA. As by a lightning flash on a dark night,
so now the hlackness of this wonder of this
mystery, all stood Instantly illumined. He
understood.
"What Incredible flendisluiess!" he ex
claimed, quite slowly, as though unahlo to
Imagine It In human bounds, "At a tlmo of
disaster and of death, such as has smitten
the colony what hellish villainy!"
He said no more, but In his eyes burned
the flro that meant death, Instant nnd with
out reprieve.
First he looked to his automatic; but.
al.t3, not ono cartridge remained either In
Its magazine or In tho pouches of his belt.
The fouled and blackened barrel told some
thing of the terrlblo agony nf the last few
days. "(one, all gone," he muttered ; hut. with
sudden Inspiration, bent over the girl.
"Ah' Ammunition again!"
Quickly he reloaded from her belts One
belt ho buckled round his waist. Then,
pistol in hand, he thought swiftly.
Thus his mind rnn- "Tho first thing to
do is look out for Beatrice and make her
comfortable find out what tho matter Is
with Iter and gle treatment. I need fresh
water, but I daren't go down to tho river
for It and leave her here. At any minute
H'yemha may appear. And when he does
I must see him first ,
"Evidently the thing most necessary Is
to gain access to our homo. How can It be
locked. Inside, when Beatrice Is here.
Heaven only knows ! Theie may be enemies
In there at this minute. H'yemba may be
there "
Anguish pierced his soul at thought of his
son now possibly In tho smith's power.
"By Ood !" ho cried, "something has got
to bo done, and quick I"
His rage was growing by leaps and
bounds.
He advanced to the floor and putting the
muzzle of his automatic almost on the
lock shattered It with six heavy bullets
Again he dashed tho boulder against the
door. It groaned and gave.
Reloading ere he ventured In, he now set
his shoulder'to the door and forced It slowly
open, with tho pistol always ready In his
right hand,
Keenly his eyes bought out the darkened
corners of the room. Here, there they
pierced, striving to determine whether any
ambushed foe were lying there In wait for
him.
"Surrender." he cried loudly In the Meru.
caan tongue. "If there be any here who
war with me, surrender! At the first sign
of fight, you dial"
No answer.
Still leaving tha girl beside the broken
door till he should feel positive there was no
1 peril and always filled with a vast wonder
hosr the door could have been locko&i f rora

within Allan advanced slowlr, cautiously'
Into their home.
Ho was cool now cool and strong again.
The frightful perils and exposure of the
week paBt Beemed to have fallen from him
llko an outworn mantle.
Ho Ignored his pain and weakness as
though such th'lngs were not. And, with
Index on trigger, eyes watchful and keen,
ho scouted down tho cavo dwelling.
Suddenly ho stopped.
"Who's there?' ho challenged loudly.
At the left of the room, not far from the
big fireplace, he hud perceived a dim, vague
figure, prone upon tho floor.
"Answer, or T shoot!"
Ilut the figure remained motionless Allan
realized there was no fight In It Htlll cau

many Instances. So farewell was ri'gret
fully felt by his auditors One parts with
the clear, brown beauty of his oboes with
a sigh
Dnclor Muck never Illumines his talent so
clearly as when he elects to plnv Beethoven

reiesses of tho mastei of Bonn are us
Uslble to him as the uo-Iess. profound comlu
spiritual ones of the master of Salzburg.

demands absoluto and unsullied hound from
the strings. It also demands a cleanness

and detnehtd gusto The composition was
revealed npnln as a thing all compnet of
rustic sunlight and "pools more secret than

It was i-o gay that It was touching, nnd
so free. n Impulse that It never passed tho
bounds of stress The dancing beat of its
measures was admirably brought out by
all tho choirs. One thought again of Beet
