events of the last twenty-four hours.
Iris and he-Miss Deane, Mr.. jerks,
to each other-were then undiscovered
in their refuge, the Dyaks were gath

ley, and Mir Jan was keen in the
hunt as the keenest among them. Now,
Iris was his affianced bride, over
twenty Of the enemy were killed and
many wounded, and Mir Jan, a de-
voted adherent, was seated beside the
skeleton in the gloom Of the cavern.
What a topsy-turvy world it was, to
be sure! What alterations between
despair and hope! What rebound
from the gates of Death to the thresh-

thankful, Was there not One who
marked the fall of a sparrow, who
clothed the lilies, who knew the needs
Of His creatures? There, in the sol

thanks for the protection vouchsafed
to Iris and himself and prayed that 1t

useless bloodshed, the horror of man

converted this fair island into reek-
ing slaughter-house. Were 1t possible,
by any personal sacrifice, to divert the
untutored savages from their deadly
quest, he would gladly condone their
misdeeds and endeavor to assuage the
torments Of the wounded.

for the night that, after recovering

During supper, a feast graced by a
quart of champagne worthy OF the
