THE MAN OF THE ISLAND.
From the side of the hill, which was
here steep and stony, a spout of gravel
was disloGged and fell rattllng and
bounding through the trees. My eyes
turned instinctively in that direction,
and saw 1gure leap with great rapid

Silver himself appeared less terrible in
contrast with this creature Of the
woods, and I turned on my heel, and,
looking sharply behind me over my
shoulder began to retrace my steps in
the direction Of the boats.
Instantly the figure reappeared, and,
making wide circuit, began to head
me off. I was tired, at any rate; but
had been as fresh as when rose,

tend in speed such an adversary. From

from his phrases an almost unshakable

All this while, as l say, I was still
running, and. without taking any no.
tice, had drawn near to the foot of the
little hill with the two peaks, and had
got into part of the island where the
wild oaks grew more widely apart, and
seemed more like forest trees in their
bearings and dimensions. Mingled
with these were few scattered pines,
some so, some nearly 10 feet high. The
air, too, smclled more freshly than
