a handy CRATE to facilitate Iris cook.
Ing operations, and a careful search
each morning amid the ashes Of any
burned wrcckage accumulated a store
of most useful nails.
The pressing need for a safe vet ac.
cesstble bathing place led him and tbo
girl to devote one afternoon to a com
plefe survey of the coast line. BY this
time they had given names to all ill.,,
chief localities. The northerlv
tory was naturally christened North
cape; the western, Europa point: the
portion of the reef between their bal,.
ltatlon and Palm Tree rock became
riley Brig; the other section Northwest
reef. The fiat sandy passage across tho
island, containing the cave. house ana.
well, was named Prospect park. and
the extensive stretch of sand on the
southeast, with its guard of broken
reels, was at C dubbed Turtle
beach when jerks discovered that an
immense number Of green turtles Wcrp
paying their spring visit TO the island
to bury their eggs in the sand.
Inc two began their tour of inspec.

desperate struggle to escape from the
clutcl! OF the typhoon. Iris would nor
be content until the sailor showed her
the rock behind which he placed her
for shelter while lie searched for water

unfortunate companions on board shin

he had never before known such hap
p1ness. How long would it last? High
up on the cliff swung the signal to NIX
tous searchers of the sea that here
would be found the survivors of the
Slrdar And then when rescue came,
when Miss Deane became once more
the daughter of a wealthy baronet and
he n ~disgraced and namcless outcast,
He set his teeth and savagely struck
at q full cup of the pitcher plant which
had so p~rovidentially relieved their
killing thirst.
oh, WHY did you do that?" pouted
Iris. Poor thing; it was . true friend
in need, | wish 1 could do something
for it to make it the best and leaiest
plant of its kind on the island"
Very we'll he answered, you can

water from the well applied daily to
Its roots will quickly achieve that end
