maybe. she picked up rifle.

as she stood near him.
He could see through the tail Of his
eye that a slight but elegantly pro-
portioned young gentleman Of the sea-
faring profession had suddenly appear
ed from nowhere. He was glad she
had taken this course. 1t might better

The sailors rifle went off with an
unexpected bang that froze the e1cla-
nation on her lips. Three Dyaks were
attempting to run the gantlet to their
beleaguered comrades. They carried
a Jar and two wicker baskets. He with
the jar fell and broke 1t. The others
doubled back like hares, and the first
man dragged himself, after them. jerks
did not fire again.

When he vanished she looked into the

men lay dead within twenty yards OF

although he ruthlessly shot the savage
who first spied out their retreat he
was swayed only by the dictates Of
stern necessity. There was a feeble
chance that further bloodshed might
be ayerted. That chance had passed.
Very well. The enemy must start the
dreadful game about to be played.
They had thrown the gage, and he an
swered them. Four times did jerks
rife carry death, unseen, almost un-
felt, across the valley.
Ere the fourth Dyak collapsed Imply
where he stood others We're there,
firing at the little puff Of smoke above
the grass. They got in few shots,
most Of which sprayed at various
angles of the face Of the cliff. But
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. r
The fate Of the fanking detachment
was either unperceiyed or unheeded by
the Dyaks left in the vicinity Of the
house and well. Astounded by the fir
ing that burst forth in midair, 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
furiously, only succeeding in shower
ing fragments Of splintered stone into
the eagles nest. And the sailor smiled.
He quietly picked up an old coat, rolled
it into ball and pushed it into sight
amidst the grass. Then he squirmed
round on his stomach and took up q
position ten feet away. Of course those
who still carried loaded guns discharg-
ed them at the bundle of rags. where
upon jerks thrust his rife beyond the
edge of the rock and leaned over.
Three Dyaks fell before the remainder
made up their minds to run. Once con-
vinced, however. that running was good
for their health, they moved with much
celerity. The remaining cartridges in
the magazine slachened the pace Of two
