DAILY SHORT STORY

I and then two more, and no ship
came. Their eagerness gave way
to despair. 1t was not till the third
month had elapsed, however, that
they gave up hope.
Suddenly they found that their
provisions had given out. They
collected turtles and pelicans'
eggs and mad cocoanuts for des-
sert. Then came the tropical rains
and their frail canvas covering
rotted above them.
And now the proud civilization
of their birth had fallen from them
like a garment. From deep down
under the veneer the old traits of
primitive man weled up. They be-
gan to eye one another furtively.
They seldom spoke.
The woman was the first to I'M
derstand the meaning Of that
change. One night, when they
were sitting alone. after thei?
loathsome meal, she begged him
to read to her, to play cards with
her, anything rather than yield 10
that madness that she discernod

He looked MP. The face of the
woman always present before
him, by night and day, Infatuated
him. With an access Of frenzy he
struck out at her wildly and drove
her out iato the storm And the
next day she was gone.
He missed her then. With the
need of primitive man. ne wanted
a woman to mend the patched and
tattered tent, to gather sticks for
the fire, to cook the eggs and
break the cOcoanuts. There had
| been a violent doWnpOur that
night, and he followed her foot

they ended before one Of the
caves, There he halted and called

Presently lie heard a shutting
at his side and turned swiftly;
just swiftly enough to avoid the
knife that hurtled past him. For
she, too, had yielded at last to
that unassuageable impulse; and
now the world-old strife of the
sexes had uncovered itself once
more.
After that time became a blank
to both OF them. Sometimes in
dreams, he fancicd he encountered
her gathering eggs upon the
shore; but always she flew from
him and he dared not pursue. And

This sentiment was uttered by

mailed hand, not by force of arms,
but by the wholesomeness of our
example"
Mr.. Clark pointed out the great
