He knelt again, lifting the rifle. Iris
threw herself on her knees by his side.

PreDarations.

They looked long and steadfastly at
the fetreating boat. Soon it dimin-
ished to a mere speck on the smooth
sea. The even breeze kept it's canvas
taut, and the sailor knew that no
ruse was intended-the Dyaks were
flying from the island lin fear and
rage. They would return with
force sufficient in insure the wreaking
Of their vengeance.

doubt whatever. They would land in

tense impossible. Would help come

definite answer could not be given.

lines; his brain throbbed now with
an anxiety singularly at variance
with his cool demeanor during the
fight. He was utterly unconscious
that his left arm encircled the Shout

gagged herself and said appealingly:

Something must be said or done to

He dreaded a complete collapse if any
further alarms threatened at once
Yet he was almost positive-tho

Rock that morning, the savages had
lowered their sail and were steadily
padding north against wind and cur

the sea would fail to reveal them be-
yond a distance Of six or seven miles
at the utmost.
After landing in the hidden bay on
the south side, they crossed the island
thru the trees instead of taking the
beach. Why? The fact that he
and Iris were then passing the

Washington, D. c., March 2.-There
was such a hue and cry raised last
season over the prevalence of "bridge"
parties during Lent, that the smart
set have not made card-playing such
a prominent feature Of their dinners
during the past fortnight. Then, too,
every one seems to. be complaining
more or less Of stock market losses,
and as bridge" is an expensive pas
time, women Of moderate incomes
find that their bridge" losses very
materially affect their necessary ex-
penditures. But 1t is a palpable fact,
nevertheless, that the smart folk have
