OF most extraordinary drowsiness.

He had taken one OF Rayburn's prof
fered cigars. thinking 1t would be un-
gracious to refuse, and feeling. more
over. that he would be the better for
one after that long tramp and the IA
tiguing scramble through the Jungle.
He was smoking 1t as the feeling of
drowsiness crept over him.
He made courageous effort to
shake 1t off by trying to move about
as well as his limited space would al
low. Once or twice he shouted Ray
burns name at the pitch of his voice:
but no answer came back.
''I may as well sit down" he thought
at last. II feel as II my limbs would
scarcely support me-"
A little knoll of the rough half
grass formed a temptation; he yielded
to 1t and sat down. In few minutes
the whole of his surroundings-the
jungle, the thought of Rayburn and
his wounded friend-faded away into
nothingness: drowsiness passed into
unconsciousness. and Cleland slept.
When he awoke 1t was daylight
nay, more. the sun was high in the
heavens. and was pouring down the
full heat Of his rays upon the tall
palms, the mimosas and asasias sur
rounding Cleland. He started to his
