you don't pay any more, per-

I'm afraid you'll find that easy
enough later on, Miss Jenny. Stand
by. Winthrope, to help her up. Do
you hear? Take the knife and fish and
lend a hand"
There was note In Blake's voice
that neither Winthrope nor Miss Les
lie dared disregard. Though scarlet
with modification, she permitted her
self to be taken pick-a-back upon
Blake's broad shoulders and meekly
sbeyed his command to clasp her
hands about his throat. Yet even at
that moment such are the inconsis-
tencies of human nature. she could not
but admire the ease with which he
rose under her weight.
Now that he no longer had the slow
pace of the girl to consider, he ad-
vanced at his natural gait, the quick,
tireless stride of an American railroad
surveyor His feet, trained to swamp
travel in Louisiana and Panama,
seemed to find the firmest ground as
by instinct, and whether on the half
dried mud of the hummocks or in the
ankle-deep water of the boys, they felt
their way without slip or stumble.
Winthrope. though burdened only
with the half-eaten coryphene, toiled
along behind. greatly troubled by the
mud and the tangled reeds, and now
and then flung down by some unlucky
misstep. His modish suit, already
much damaged by the salt water, was
soon smeared afresh with a coating Of
greenish slime. His one consolation
was that Blake, after ieering at his first
tumble, paid no more attention to
him On the other hand, he was cut
by the seeming Indifference OF Miss
Leslie. Intent on his own misery, he
failed TO consider that the girl might
be suffering far greater discomfort and
humiliation.
More than three miles had been Gov
cred before Blake stopped ON hum
mock. Releasing Miss Leslie. he
stretched out on the dry crest of the
knoll and called for slice Of the fish.
At his urging the others took a few
mouthfuls. although their threats were
so parched that even the moist flesh

and would have risen had not Win

he asked. by that time she will be

Miss Leslie cringed back as though

seemed to have vented his anger in

there was nothing more than impa-
