Bitten! What-what is it"' she cried.
"A snake!" He drew up his hand
from the mouth of the tank; 1t held
the melon by its stalk. On the back of
the arm, just above the wrist, was an
unmistakable mark-two little bIue
punctures round which a circle of red
was beginning to spread.
Grant looked at the mark, and his
face paled and hardened; but he
laughed
Fate" he said. But I'm not going
to be snuffed out-by a snake-or a
woman either" And he laughed again
as he let the melon drop and, pulling
out his silk handkerchief, began to
bind it round the arm as well as he
could with his left hand.
In an instant Gwen was on her knees
beside him. "Oh, let me-quick-

He made a cash in the arm from
which the blood spouted and stopped
his head to it. But the girl was before
him. With a passionate movement she
put her lips to the wound and sucked it,
the red drops patching her cheeks and
her dress, while with one hand she
pushed back his face.
For an instant he yielded himself to
the overpoWering ecstasy of that
strange kiss, then almost roughly broke
away.

He cut the stalk with his sharp
bushman's knife and laid it in her leaf

early figs likewise to be gathered, and
the girl and the man fingered over the
plucking. A maybe on a bough near

brides chamber. Alec Grants hand,
venturesome also, softly touched the
frilleries of Ovens sleeve.
I'm going off to Consolation mine
tomorrow" he said, unless you tell
frilleries of Ovens sleeve.
Ovens eyes grew very wide and soft
as they watched the antics of the bow

"Oh, Gwen, won't you make me the
happiest Christmas of my who'll

'T-can't-do that she said, with
the little falter that emboldened his
furtively caressing hand.

lips. She shrank half rebuking, half

He pulled up the sleeves of his spot

his arm in at the round hoe of the
tank. Gwen saw the bowerbird hop
away; she thought the sun dazzled
her. She heard the stealthy displace

it against the tank side. then a sudden
splash and a grim exclamation.

Gwen looked down at a queerly
shaped charm that lay in the palm of
her hand. Alec's offering to each one
of the women was a tiny nugget with
a swivel-ring attached-a lucky stone

curiously perfect resemblance to
