the knowledge That tragedies such as
this Dyak horror lay almost In their
path. People in London were just
going to the theater. He recalled the
familiar jingle of the hansoms scam
pering along Piccadilly, the more
stately pace Of the private carriages
crossing the park. Was it possible
that in the world Of to-day-the world
of telegraphs and express trains, of
the newspaper and the motor car-two
done to death so shamefully and open
ly as would be the fate of Iris and
himself if they fell into the hands Of
these savages! It was inconceivable,
intolerable! But it was true!
And then, by an odd trick of mem
DRY, his mind reverted, not to the
Yorkshire manor he learnt to love as
boy, but to a little French inland
town where he once passed a sum-
mer holiday intent on improving his
knowledge of the language. Interior
France is even more remote, more Sc
Guided, more provincial, than agricul-
tural England. There no breath Of the
outer world intrudes. All is 1aborious,
circumspect, a trihe pOverty-stricken,
but beautiaed by an Arcadian sim
plicity. Yet one memorable day,
when walking by the banks of river,
he came upon three men dragging
from out pool the water-soaked
body of a young girl into whose
fair forehead the blunt knob often
seen on the back of an old-fashioned
axe had been driven with cruel force.
So, even in that tiny old-world hamlet,
murder and lust could stalk hand in
hand.
He shuddered. Why did such a
| hateful vision trouble him? Reso-
lutely banning the raven-winged
specter, he slid back down the ledge
and gently wakened Iris. She sat up
| instantly and gazed at him with Won
dering eyes.
Fearful lest she should forget her sur
roundings, he placed a warning fin
ger on his lips.
oh she said in whisper, "are
they still here?"
He told her what had happened
and suggested that they should have
something to eat whilst the coast was
clear beneath. She needed no second
bidding, for the long vigil of the pre-.
vious night had made her very hun

and good water.

It was a bold risk, and he had

jerks understood, Of course, that
the real danger would arise when
they visited the scene of their COM
rade's disaster. Even then the wav-

the issue in his favor. He could only

Clarice Brown was there so strong

should be the first course next time.

"How thoughtless of me!' she ex-
claimed. Please tell me you think
they will go away to-day
But the sailor flung himself fiat on
the ledge and grasped Lee-Metford.
BE still, on your life" he said.
Squeeze into your corner. There is
a Dyak on the opposite cliff"
True enough, a man had climbed to
that unhappily placed rocky table, and
was shouting something to a confrere
high on the cliff over their heads. AS
yet he had not seen them, nor even
noticed the place where they were
concealed. The sailor imagined, from
! the Dyak's gestures, that he was COM
municating the uselessness of further
search on the western part of the
island.
When the conversation ceased, he
hoped the loud-voiced savage would
descend. But no! The scout looked
into the valley, at theAwell, the house,
the cave. Still he did not see the
| ledge. At that unlucky moment three
birds, driven from the trees on the
crest by the passage of the Dyaks,
flew down the face of the cliff and be-
gan a circling quest for some safe
perch on which to alight.
jerks swore with an emphasis not
the less earnest because it was mute
and took steady aim at the Dyak's
4 left breast. The birds huttered about
in ever smaller circles. Then one OF
them dropped easily on to the lip OF
the rock. Instantly his bright eyes
encountered those of the man, and he
darted off with a scream that brought
| his mates after him.
The Dyak evidently noted the be.

they waited for no more. When the
lever Of the Lee-Metford was showed
home for the fifth time the opposing
crest was bare Of all opponents save
two, and they lay motionless.
The fate of the f1anking detach-
ment was either unperceived or un-
needed by the Dyaks left in the vicfn-
ity Of the house and we'll. Astounded
by the firing that burst forth in mid
air, jerks had cleared the dangerous
rock before they realized that here
above their heads, were the white man
and the maid whom they sought.
With stupid zeal they blazed away
furious1y, only succeeding in shower
the Eagles Nest. And the sailor
smiled. He quietly picked UP an old
coat, rolled it into a ball and pushed it
into sight amidst the grass. Then he
squirmed round on his stomach and
took up a position ten feet away. OF
course those who still carried loaded
guns discharged them at the bundle
Of rags, whereupon jerks thrust his
rifle beyond the edge Of the rock and
leaned over.
Three Dyaksr fell before the res
mainder made up their minds to run.
Once convinced, however, that run
ming was good for their health,
they moved with much celebrity.
The remaining cartridges in the mag.
azine slackened the pace Of two OF
their number. jerks dropped the
empty weapon and seized another. He
stood UP now and sent a quick re-
hinder after the rearmost pirate. The
others had disappeared towards the
locality where their leader and his
diminished troupe were gathered, not
daring to come again within range OF
the whistling Dum-dums. The sailor,
holding his rife as tho pheasant-
shooting, bent forward and sought a
belated opponent, but in vain. In
military phrase, the terrain was clear

MISSES WALKING SKIRT 1917.
The rule of generous flare about the
feet with snug fit round the hips for
the fashionable walking skirt is as
tenactously held to by young girls as
by their elders. This very stylish
model is adapted to all the range of
seasonable materials but in the case Of
the original is made of blue f1ecked
etanine stitched with corticelli silk
and is exceedingly attractive and
pretty. The full length gore at the
back gives a, long line which is always
admirable in addition to allowing for
greater freedom of movement.
The skirt consists of the circular
portion, which is tucked across the
hips to give the effect Of yoke, the
f1ounce and the back cores, which are
kilt plated. The lower edge of the
circular portion has a deep hem I'M
der which the plated 1ounce is at
tached and stitched to position, the
effect being a deep tuck overlapping
the plaits.
The quantity Of material required for the me-
dunn size is 5z yards Fl inches wide, 3a4 yards
A inches wide or 3A yards So inches wide.
The pattern, 4677, is cut in sizes for girls OF
