few tears fell now and made little
burrows down her Soiled cheeks. But
they were helpful tears. tears of resis-

destruction that wasteth at monday"
was trying her Soreiy she again felt
strong and sustained.
She even smiled on detecting an in
voluntary effort to clear her stained
face. She was about to carry a bis
cult and some timed meat to the sailor
when a sharp exclamation from him
caused her to hasten to his side.
The Dyaks has broken cover. Run
ming in scattered sections across the
sands, they were risking such loss as
the defenders might be able to inflict
upon them during brief race to the
shelter and food to be obtained in the
other part of the island.
jerks did not fire at the seurrying
gang. He was waiting for one man,
Taung s. Ali. But that redoubtable per-
son. having probably suggested this
dash for liberty, had fully realized the
enviable share of attention he would at
tract during the passage. he therefore
discarded his vivid attire, and, by bor-
rowing odd garments, made himself SUI
ficiently like unto the remainder of his
crew to deceive the sailor until the rush
of men was over. Among them ran the
Mohammedan, who did not look up the
valley, but waved his hand.

Angrily holding forth a Lee Metford

The native translated his words into
a fierce defiance of Taung S'Ali and
his Dyaks. The chief glanced at jerks
and Iris with an ominous smile. He
muttered something.
Then, sahib. There is nothing more
TO be said. Beware of the trees on
your right. They can send silent death
even to the place where you stand. And

Taung SAIL seemed TO comprehend
the Englishman's emphatic motions.
Waving his hand defiantly. the .Dyak
turned. and. with one parting glance
of mute assurance, the Indian followed
him.
And now there came to jerks a great
temptation. Iris touched his arm and
whispered;
What have you decided? l did not
dare to speak lest he should hear my
voice.
Poor girl. She was sure the Dyak
could not penetrate her disguise.
though she feared from the manner in
which the conference broke up that it
had not been satisfactory.
jerks did not answer her. He knew
that if he killed Taung S Ali his men
would be so dispirited that when the
night came they would fly. There was
so much at stake-Iris, wealth, love,
happiness, life itself-all depended on

Oh. it was cruel. The ordeal of that
CHASTITY moment was more trying than
all that he had hitherto experienced.
He gave a choking sob of relief when
the silken-clad scoundrel passed out of
sight without even deigning to give
another glance at the ledge or at those
who silently watched him
Iris could not guess the nature of the
mortal struggle raging in the sailor
soul.

you done?"

of thankfulness that he spoke truly

This surprised her greatly.

a bad temper that I imagined that

sigh Her words for an instant had the
old piQuant flavor.
Keeping a close watch on the shelter

had taken place. Iris became very
downcast when she grasped the exact
state of affairs She was almost certain
when the Dyaks proposed parley that
reasonable terms would result. 1t hOr-
rified her beyond measure to find that
she was the rock on which negotia-
tons were wrecked. Hope died within
her. The bitterness of death was in
her breast.

Abbas H., khcdive of Egypt, is one
of the most progressive and enlght-
ened of foreign rulers. Passonately
fond of travel, he goes about the world
with his eyes open and has introduced
many excellent reforms into the coun-
try over which he rules. Unconven-

The khedive, by the way, unlike the
sultan, has no imperial harem. His
wife was beautiful Circassian slave
bought by his mother chiefly on ac-
count of her beauty from a powerful
Turkish pacha for less than $50. The
Mohammedan religion permits the
khedive for wives, but Abbas H., like
his father, is content with one, and
is passionately devoted to the beauti-
ful CiTcassian who has borne him five
charming daughters and a promising
son.

The Spider and the Fly,

In the long warfare between the
spider and the fly, the latter has had
the housewife for its auxiliary and
friend. The flies have been tolerated,
even fed and nurtured, while the
spiders and their webs have been ruth
lessly destroyed. This unremitting
and unrelenting war against it keeps
the spider population down, while the
flies increase and multiply by the
millions and ten of millions, almost
unchecked. The spider is ugly and
his web is unsightly in the estima-
ton of most people. but spiders hurt
no human creature. They feed on
flies, which are the foes of mankind
and do mankind a service.-Philadel-

YACHT
NAVAL MEMS IDEAS OF TIL:

Boat Which Has Left en- Southern
Mission Will \ Rcb
President of Any
Pleasure

New York.-The Maytlower, which
President Roosevelt has given up that
it may be free to perform mission in
the turbulent waters of South America,
is an elegant boat but her going brings
no pangs of regret to the president,
for naval men who know what they
are talking about say that he hates
yachting"
This may surprise you, but II you
express your surprise to your naval in.
formant he will probably start in and
tell you of the presidents one and
only yachting trip for pleasure.
Somebody invited him to go few
years ago, and the invitation must
have struck him when his stock of eN-
cuses was phenomenally low. At any
rate he couldn't seem to beg off. so he
very reluctantly went abroad and the
yacht started.
But just as it left its anchorage the
president suddenly declared that he
had forgotten something of the utmost
Importance and that he'd have to go
back after it. Threats, prayers, en-.
treaties-all were vain. The mysteri.
Gus something must be got and by
himself.
"A small boat was called, for the
president insisted on rowing himself
ashore in local boat, and off he
went. Yes sir, off he went-and he
never came back. And that, you un-
derstand, was his one and only yacht.
ing trip for pleasure.
IF he could whang the whole ship
around maybe he'd like it better. But
when he has a voyage of any conse-
quence to make, as the cruise to
Panama, he doesn't go on the Mayflow-
er anyway. He goes on big battle
ship, where there are plenty of things
to keep him interested"
