staring at Giovanni, grasping his
meaning little by little, while drops
of sweat rolled down his face.
"And Marie?" he. whispered.

Giovanni started; look Of terror
came into his eyes.
What is it?"
sMarie!" said Arnosi, II have hea rd
| the voice before, but never so near the
hut. Listen
Giovanni listened an instant. then,
darting from the hut with cry Of
terror, disappeared in the jungle.
Left alone, Arnosi still sat upright,
his eyes fastened on the lake. Near
and nearer came the voice. Another
instant and a light skiH came in sight,
seemingly dancing on the bosom Of
the water. In the frail craft, stand
ing erect, q paddle in her hand. was a
young girl, who, thinly and fantas-
tically clad, with sprays of Spanish
moss floating around her, her hair
streaming down her shoulders, and a
crown of water lilies on her brow,
appeared like an inhabitant Of this
waste when it existed at the pre-
glacial time rather than human
being of to-day.
Arnosi had strength enough left to
strike on the windows with his hand.
She observed the signal. Mooring the
skiff, she sprang on the beach and
ran up to the cabin. She recognized
Arnosi, bou nded to him, kneit by his
side, and fun e her wasted arms about
his neck without uttering a word.
''Forgiye me, Marie?" he whispered.
Perhaps at that moment reason was
restored to the darkened mind. But
if So the excess of joy wal, too much.
The rain battered on the roof of the
hut, the wind swayed the open door
to and fro but the two figures clasped
in each others arms never stirred.
Soon darkness enveloped them as in a
shroud.
In October of that year party of
hunters who CHANGED to wander into
that quarter Of the everglades found
three dead bodies-two in the hut
and one outside. A rusty pistol lay
near the latter, indicating suicide;
but who they were or how they came
in that dreary waste the hunters
could only conjecture. Moved by
human instinct they followed out
rude grave, and placed the remains
in it. Then they went their way.
