In the dim past the first hunter had

her primitive existence.
The next step was lire. Sho might

The thought even was repulsive. She

would grill It above "plowing embers.
June Imftcncd to her tree. ....
Among the treasures ulie hnd Bothered
In the bed of the stream were several
rlcces of volcanic glass; clear bh crystal,
feho whisht until she hnd found the one
la mind, which was convex. Then flic
hurried to the ground and gahered -i
little pile of powdered bark that was
rr drv. and some dead lenves and
raises that bnd lnln long in the hot
eun. Near at hand she arranged n sup
ply of dead twigs and branches small
end large. , .
Vibrant with suppressed excitement
she held the bit of glass above the
tinder, moving it slowly until she had
focused the sun's rays upon n tiny spot.
She waited breathlessly. How slow 11
wasl Were her high hopes to be dashed
in spite of nil her clever planning? No!
A thin thrend of smoke rose gracefully
Into the quiet air. Presently the tinder
flowed and broke suddenly into ilnmc.
Jane clasped her hands beneath her
chin with a little gurgling oxclamotlon
of delight. Sho had achieved fire 1
She piled on twigs and then larger
branches and at lnt dragged a small
log to the flames and pushed an ond of
It Into the fire, which was cracking
merrily. It wob the sweetest sound that
nhc had henrd for many a month. But
she could not wait for the mass of
embers that would bo required to cook
her hare. As quickly as might be she
skinned and cleaned her kill, buryhii'
the bide and entrails. That she had
learned from Tnrznn. It served two
purposes! One was the nccoislty for
keeping a sanitary camp and the other
the obliteration of the scent thnt most
quickly attracts the man-oatcrs.
Then she ran n stick through the
carcass and held It above the (lames.
By turning It often she prevented burn
ing and nt the same time permitted the
meat to cook thoroughly all the wov
through. When It was done she
scampered high into the safety of her
tree to enjoy her meal in quiet and
peace. Never, thought Lady Greyt-toke,
had aught inoro delicious passed her
lips. She patted her spear affection
etely. It had brought her this tooth
some dainty and with it a feeling of
greater confidence and safety than Miu
had enjoyed sinco that frightful day
when shenndObergatz had spent their
last cartridge Sho would nover forget
that day It hnd seemed one hldcou?
succession of frightful beast after
frightful beast. They had not been long
in this strange country, yet they thought
tnai tney were iHinianeu to iihurvi-s,
for dally they had had encounters with
ferocious creatures; but this day slu

carded them und thrown away the
cumbersome bandoleers, uh well.
How they hnd managed to survive
during the ensuing week she could
never quite understand, and then the
Ho-don hud come upon them ami cap

less he was dcud unless he had been
able to reach this side of the volley,
which wns quite evidently less overrun
with anvagu beasts.
Jane's days were very full ones now,
ad the daylight hours seemed nil too

things sbc hud determined upon, since

'Hut how havo you escaped them?"
she asked.
"I dp not know," he replied gloom
ily. "I have fled and fled nnd fled. I
havo remained hungry and thlrstv in
tree tops for days at a time. I have

thut I live, how much more so that you

Briefly sho told him and nil tho while
she wns wondering what she might do
to rid herself of film. She could not
conceive of a prolonged existence with
him as her solo companion. Iletter, a
thousand times better, to be nlone.
Never bud her hatreo nnd contempt for
him lessened through the long weeks
and months of their constant compan
ionship, nnd now thnt hu could be of

tlon, sho shrunk from tho thought of
feeing him daily. And, too, she feand
him. Never hod she trusted him ;
but now there was n strange light lu

terpret it all she knew was that it gave
her a feeling of apprehension n name
less dread.

language of Pul-ul-don.
"You have learned this tongue?" sho
asked. "How?"
"I fell in with a band of half
breeds," ho replied, "members of a
proscribed race that dwells In the rock

sought to impress them moro and more

succeeded, too, until nn old fellow who
