At last Peggy nnd Hilly had the doorway stuffed as full as It could pos sibly be stuffed. There wasn't room for n pirate to squeeze his way through. "Now wo are unfc," said Hilly. "Safe but sore," walled Folly Wish er, whose nose had swollen to twice its usunl size. That was becatiBO of the bump raised on It by the poison In the needlelike rvvord of Needle-Nose, the pirate chief, who had stabbed him. "I nm sorrv wc ever came to this nvvful Twinkling Isle. I told you that you would find things here to make jou frown." "Yes," giggled Peggy, "nnd you said wo would lind things to make us smile. I am smiling ut your funny nose." "Well, go on smiling then." said Tolly Wisher. "There is nothing else to do now thnt wo nre prisoners of the swamp pirates.

"Perhaps the swamp pirates will get tired after a while of hanging nround here." said Hilly. "We will take n nnp, nnd when we wake up maybe they will be gone." Peggy closed her eyes nnd In nn Jn slant she was asleep. That showed how tired she was. And Hillv went to sleep just ns quickly and so did the African snvoges, Flower of the Forest nnd Youth of the Mnn Heart.

Hilly, feeling that they were prison! rs nnd Hint Hip swamp pirates coyldn't get nt them, never thought of having n guard on watch. So while they slept, Necdle-Noe, the cunning chief of tm svvnmp plrntes, sought ways to get Into the wlgwnm. And Needle-Nose found whnt he sought, little spaces between the leaves. Clos ing his wings, Needlo-Noso wriggled through these spaces until hoi found himself on the inside of tho wigwnin. After him wriggled other pirates until tlie camp wns alive with tfiem. On slept Peggy. Hilly. Folly Wisher nnd tbo African savages, never dream ing of danger. The swamp pirates hung above them, swords ready for ac tion. Ncodlo-Neisp hovered over Hilly, then suddenly ho piioc e'own. sinking his sword in Hilly's neck, Thnt was the attack slgnnl. On the instant other swamp plrntes darted upon Peggy, Folly Wisher and the African savages, stnb ing with all their might. "Wow! Ouch! Oh!" yelled the sleep ers, jumping tip in n hurry. "Oh. wc will hn cutcn alive," screamed Tollv Wisher, nnd so It seemed, for the swamp pirates were swarming upon them with rendy swords. "I wish we knew some way to fight these plrntes." cried Peggy.
