side by a row of lateral teeth, was
flung up into view.
"Sawfish," said Blake. and he waded
on across the bar without further COM
ment.
Miss Leslie had been on the point
of fainting. The tone of Blake's voice
revived her instantly.
There were no more scares. A few
minutes later they waded out upon a
stretch OF clean sand on the south
of the river. Before them the beach
lay in a fiattened curve, which at the
far end hooked sharply to the left and
appeared to terminate at the foot of
the towering limestone cliffs OF the
headland. mile or more inland the
river jungle edged In close to the
cliffs: but from there to the beach the
forest was separated from the wall OF
rock by little sandy plain. covered
with creeping plants and small palms.
The greatest width OF the open space
was hardly more than a quarter OF a
mile.
Blake paused for a moment at high
tide mark. and Winthrope instantly
squatted down TO nurse his ankle.
Il say. Blake" he said. cant you
find me some kind of a crutch? 1t Is
only few yards around to those
trees"
Good Lord, you haven't been fool
enough to overstrain that ankle Yes
you have. Dammit, why couldn't you
tell me before p"

posed Miss Leslie. Il think II you
could get Mr.. winthrope n crutch-"
"Crutch," growled Blake. How
long do you think It would take me to
wade through the mud? And look at
that cloud, We're In for a squall
Here,f
He handed the girl the smaller
string of cocoanuts. flung the other up
the beach and stopped for Winihrope
to mount his back. He then started
on along the beach at q 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 200 PAGES they heard the roar of
rain lashed water. and the squall
struck hem with force that almost
over, hrew the girl. With the wind
came torrents Of rain that drove
through their thickest garments and
drenched them to the skin within the
first hak-minute.
Blake slackened his pace to a 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
cliffs. The gray rock lowered above
them 80 or 40 feet high. Blake de-
posted Winthrope upon wet ledge
and Strengthened up ,< scan the head
land Here and there ledges 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 a continuous path to
the summit. Blake grunted with dis
gust.

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

Did you ever-when you were
young and eager and IMMERSED in the
lore of human nature-ever say to
some other person equally young and
eager, Tets tell each other our
faults?"
Of course you did.
And did you ever by any chance get
through that fault telling session
without both of you getting a little
bit hurt at the very least?
Of course you didn't.
More likely you both became very
indignant.
Most of us are the better for crit
icism but few of US are able to re-
ceive much of it without feeling, even
if we do not show it, wee bit of re-
sentiment towards those who give the
criticism.
In view of that, little plan which
a certain college Greek-letter society
uses, seems to be very valuable.
The sorority has question box.
| Into this box at each meeting of the
society the members drop questions
and suggestions in regard to the con-
| duct of the other members.
| These comments and suggestions
the president fishes out of the box
and reads aloud to the society.
They are unsigned of course. sc

What to Do for a Cough

Here is a homemade remedy
that overcOmeS an obstinate
cough quicker than any costly
medicine you could buy. ANY
woman can easily make it in five
minutes.
Granulated Sugar Syrup Il y OF.
Put the Pinex in a clean pint
bottle and fill up with the syrup,
made as follows: Take a pint of
Granulated Sugar. add u pint
of warm water and stir for
about 2 minutes. Take a teas
poonful every one, two or three
hours. 1t tastes 'pleasant-chil-
dren like it.
This simple medicine is also
: splendid for colds, whooping
cough. bronchitis, incipient con-
sumption, chest pains. etc.
Pinex. as you probably know,
is the most potent form of Nor
way White Pine Compound. 1t
is rich in all the weIl-known
pine elements. None of the
weaker pine preparations COM
pare with the real Pinex itself.
Your druggist has It, or will
gladly get It for you.
The full pint of this effective
cough syrup can be made for
81 cents. 1t keeps perfectly.
and lasts a whole family a long
time.
Strained honey can be used
instead of the syrup, and makes
a very fine honey and pine tar
cough syrup.
