near the edge of the jungle, began to split long shreds from one of the huge leaves of & cocoanut palm. This gave him quantity of coarse. stiff fiber part of which he twisted in cord and used to tie one of the leaves of the fan palm over her head
 ''How's that for a bonnet?" he de- handed.
 The improyised head-gear bore so grotesque resemblance to recent type of picture hat that Winthrope could not repress a derisiye laugh. Miss Leslie, however, examined the hat and gave her opinion without sign of amusement. T think it is splendid, Mir Blake. If we must go out in the sun again. 1t is just the thing to protect one.'
 Yes. Here's two more I've fixed for you Ready yet. Winthrope?"
 The Englishman nodded, and the three sat down to their third feast of cocoanuts. They were hungry enough at the start. and Blake added no little keenness even to his own appetite by a grim joke on the slender prospects of the next meal, to the effect that if in the meantime not eaten themselves they might possibly find their next meal within week.
 But If we must move, could we not take some of the nuts with us?' sug. gested Winthrope.
 Blake pondered over this as he ate, and when fully satisfied he helped him self up with his club he motioned the others to remain seated.
 There are your hats and the strings he said, "but you won't need them now. I'm going to take pros pect along the river. and while I'm gone. you can make a try at stringing nuts on some of this leaf fiber"
 But MT. Blake, do you think it's quite safer" asked Miss Leslie, and she glanced from him to the jungle.
 "Safe?" he repeated. Well, noth- ing ate you yesterday. if that's any thing to go by. It's all l know about it.''
 He did not wait for further protests. Swinging his club on his shoulder he started for the break in the jungle which marked the hippopotamus path. The others looked at each other, and Miss Leslie sighed "If only he were a gentleman" she complained.
 Winthrope turned abruptly to the cocoanuts.

TEeSnlUB COOiucsS WHltn pit- ceded the dawn. were sleeping their soundest, when q sudden fierce roar followed instantly by piercing squeal caused even Blake to start up in panic. Miss Leslie, too terrified to scream, clung to Winthrope, who crouched on his launches, little less overcome.
 Blake was the first to recover and puzzle out the meaning of the crashing in the jungle and the ferocious growls directly beneath them.
 Lie still" he whispered. We're all right. It's only beast that killed something down below us."
 All sat listening. and as the noise of the animals in the thicket died away they could hear the beast beneath them tear at the body of its victim.
 "The air feels like dawn" whispered Winthrope. Wen soon be able to see the brute"
 And he us," reioined Blake.
 In this both were mistaken. During the brief false dawn they were pug zled by the odd appearance of the ground. The sudden flood of full day light found them staring down into a dense white fog.
 "So they have that here!" nut tered Blake-"feverfog."
 ~Beastly shamei" echoed Winthrope. I'm sure the creature has gone on
 This assertion was met by an out burst of snarls and yells that made all start back and crouch down again in their sheltering hollow. As before Blake was the first to recover.
 Bet you're right" he said The big one has gone of. and a pack or these African coyotes are having scrap over the bones
 You mean jackals. It sounds like the nasty beasts"
 If it wasn't for that fog I'd go down and get our share of the game
 Would it not be very dangerous, MT. Blake?" asked Miss Leslie. What fearful nolsel"

 twin it be long, Blake?" asked Win thrope.
 "Huh7 Getting hungry this quick Wait till you've tramped around week. with nothing to eat but your shoes"
 Surely. Mir. Blake. it will not be so badl" protested Miss Leslie
 Sorry, Miss Jenny; but cocoanus palms don't blow over every day. and when those nuts are gone what are we going to do for the next meal?'
 Could we not make bows?' sug- eested Winthrope There seems to be no end of game about

 Miss Leslie had been on the r7'at of fainting The tone of Blake's iee revived her instantly

The greatest width of the open space was hardly more than a quarter of a mile
 Blake paused for moment at high tide mark, and Winthrope instantly squatted down to nurse his ankle

 Good Lord, you haven't been fool enough to overstrain that ankle Yes, you have Dammit! why couldn't you tell me before?'

CHAPTER 1.-The story opens with the ebirwreck of the steamer on which Miss Genevieve Leslie. an American heiress. Lord Winthrope. an Englishman, and Tom Blake brusque American. were passen- gers. The three were tossed upon an un- trbabited island and were the only ones not drowned. Blake recovered from a drunken stupor.

branch.
 You may do, after all" he said At any rate, we're all aboard for the night; and none too soon. Hear that 2"
 ''What?"
 Lion, I guess Not that yelping. Listen."
 The brief twilight was already fading into the darkness of moonless night, and as the three crouched together in their shallow nest they were soon made audibiy aware of the savage na- ture of their surroundings. With the gathering night the jungle wakened into full life. From all sides came the harsh squawking of birds, the weird cries of monkeys and other small crea- lures, the crash of heavy animals moving through the jungle, and above all the yelp and howl and roar of beasts of prey
 After some contention with Win thrope, Blake conceded that the roars of his lion might be nothing worse than the snorting of the hippopotami as they came out to browse for the night. In this, however, there was small comfort, since Winthrope pres ently reasserted his belief in the climbing ability of leopards, and ex- pressed his opinion that, whether or not there were lions in the neighbor- hood. certain of the barking roars they could hear came from the throats of the spotted climbers. Even Blake's hair bristled as his imagination pic. tured one of the great cats creeping upon them in the darkness from the far end of their nest limb, or leaping down out of the upper branches.
 The nerves of all three were at their highest tension when a dark form swept past through the air within a yard of their faces. Miss Leslie ut tered stiried scream and Blake brandished his club. But Winthrope, who had caught glimpse of the crea- lures shape, broke into a nervous laugh.
 It's only fruit bat" he explained. They feed on the banyan figs, you know"
 In the reaction from this false alarm, both men relaxed and began to yield to the effects of the tramp across the mud-flats. Arranging the reeds as best they could they stretched out on either side of Miss Leslie and fell asleep in the middle of an argument on how the prospective leopard was mostly likely to attack.
 Miss Leslie remained awake for two or three hours longer. Naturally she was more nervous than her com panions, and she had been refreshed by her afternoons nap. Her nervous ness was not entirely due to the wild beasts. Though Blake had taken pains to secure himself and his companions in loops of the creeper. fastened to the branch above. Winthrope moved about so restlessly in his sleep that the girl feared he would roll from the hollow.
 At last her limbs became so cramped that she was compelled tc change her position. She leaned back upon her elbow, determined tc rise again and maintain her watch the moment she was rested But sleep was close upon her. There was a lull in the louder noises of the jun gle. Her eyes closed. and her head sank lower In little time 1t was ly ing upon Winthrope's shoulder and she was fast asleep.
 As Blake had asserted, the mos quitoes had either been blown away by the cyclone or did not fly to sucf height. None came to trouble the exhausted sleepers.

Stopped to Survey the Coast Beyond. on along the beach at . sharp trot. Miss Leslie followed as best she could, the heavy cocoanuts swinging about with every step and bruising her tender body
 The wind was coming faster than Blake had calculated. Before they had run POO paces they heard the roar of rain-lashed water. and the squall struck them with a force that almost overthrow the girl With the wind came torrents of rain that drove through their thickest garments and drenched them to the skin within the first half-minute.
 Blake slackened his pace to walk and plodded sullenly along beneath the driving downpour He kept to the lower edge of the beach, where the sand was firmest, for the force of the falling deluge beat down the waves and held in check the breakers which the wind sought to roll up the beach.
 The rain storm was at its height when they reached the foot of the tflHos H0 Riay iOth to"Ntta hbONV them 90 or 40 feet high Blake de- posted Winthrope upon wet ledge and strengthened up to scan the head land. Here and there lodges ran more than halfway up the rocky wall; in other places the crest was notched by deep clefts: but nowhere within sight did either offer continuous path to N ,s..ff nd mifh gust.
 It'd take fire ladder to get up this side" he said. Well have to try tho other. if we can ger around the point. I'm going on ahead. You can follow. after Pat has rested his ankle. Keep a sharp eye out for anything in the flint line-quartz or agate. That means fire. Another thing. when this rain blows over. don't let your clothes dry on yom I've got my hands full enough without having to nurse you through malarial fever. Don't forget the cocoanuts, and if don't show up by noon save me some"
 He stopped to drink from a pool in the rock which was overiiowing with the cool. pure rainwater, and started of at his sharpest pace. Winthrope and Miss Leslie, seated side by side in dripping misery, watched him swing away through the rain without energy enough to call out a parting word. Beneath the cliff the sand beach was succeeded by a talus of rocky debris which in places sloped up from | the water 10 or IS feet The lower part of the slope consisted of powders and water-worn stones. over which the surf. reinforced by the rising tide was beginning to break with an angry | roar
 Blake picked his way quickly over l the smaller stones near the top of the slope, now and then bending to snatch up fragment that seemed to diffel from the others Finding nothing but limestone he soon turned his atten ton solely to the passage around the headland Here he had expected tc find the surf much heavier. But the shore was protected by double line of reefs. so close in that channel be tween did not show a whitecap. This was fortunate. since in places the talui here sank down almost to the level O low tide. Even a moderate surf would have rendered farther progress i'm | practicable.
 Another 100 paces brought Blake t' the second corner of the cliff, whici iutted out in little point. He clam hered around 1t and stupned to sur vey the coast beyond. Within the las few minutes the squall had blowI
