II > dll TlSHl, MISS GeleVleV6, re-
| assured Winthrope. Blake has found
a safe place for the night, and he
wishes us to eat before we leave here"
Save Juggling the grub" added
Blake. Get busy, Pat"
As Winthrope caught up a nut the
girl began to arrange her disordered
hair and dress with the deft and grace
full movements of woman thoroughly
| trained in the art of self-adornment.
There was admiration in Blake's deep
eyes as he watched her dainty preen-
ing. She was not a beautiful girl-at
present she could hardly be termed
pretty; yet even in her draggled, mud
dy dress she retained all the subtle
| charms of culture which appeal so
strongly to a man. Blake was sub
dued. His feelings even carried him
so far as an attempt at formal polite
! ness when they had finished their
meal.
Now, Miss Leslie" he began, its
little more than half an hour to sun
down; so, if you please, if you're ready,
we'd best be starting"
rs it far?"
Not so very. But we've got to
chase through the Jungle Are you
sure you're quite ready?"
Quite, thank you. But how about
Mr.. Winthrope's ankle?"
He'll ride as far as the trees. l
cant squeeze through with him,
though"
i shall walk all the way" put in
Nlnthrope.
No, you won't. Climb aboard" re
nlled Blake, and catching up his club
ne stopped for WINTHROP to mount his
back. As he rose with his burden
MISS Leslie caught sight of his coat,
which still lay in a roll beside the
palm trunk.
How about your coat Mr.. Blake?'
she asked. Should you not put
1t on?''
NO. III loaded now. have 10 ask
you 10 look after It, You may need
