The three were tossed upon an uninhab-
tied island and were the only ones not
drowned. Blake recovered from drunk
en- stupor. Blake, Stunned on the boat,
because of his roughneSs, became a hero
as preseryer of the helpless pair The
EnEl;shman was suing for the hand of
Miss Leslie. Blake started TO swim back
TO the ship to recover what was left.
Blake returned safely Winthrope wasted
his last match on a cigarette, for which
ne was scored by Blake. Their first meal
was a dead fish. The trio started a ten
mile hike for higher land Thirst at

carry Miss Leslie on account of weari-
ness He taunted Wnthrope. They en-
tered the jungle. That night was passed
roostiug high in a tree. The next morn
ing they descended to the open again.
All three constructed hats to shield them
selves from the sun. They then feasted
on cocoanuts. the sfiy procurable food.
Miss Leslie showed a liking for Blake,
but detested his roughness. Led by Blake
they established a home in some cliffs.

the best, it could only have been a
glimpse. But was not that enough?
"Of what use are such people as II"
she cried. THAT man may be rough
and coarse-even a brute; but he at
least does things-I'll show him that
can do things, too"
She hastened out around the corner
of the cliff to the spot where they had
spent the night. Here she gathered
together the cocoanut husks, and seat
ing herself in the shade of the over
hanging ledges began to pick at the
coarse fiber. 1t was cruel work for
her soft fingers, not yet fully healed
from the thorn wounds. At times the
pain and an overpowering sense of
injury brought tears to her eyes; still
more often she dropped the work in
despair of her awkwardness. Yet al
ways she returned to the task with re-
newed energy.
After no little perseverance, she
found how to twist the fiber and plat
it into cord. At best it was slow
work, and she did not see how she
should ever make enough cord for a
fish-line. Yet, as she caught the knack
of the work and her fingers became
more nimble she began to enjoy the
novel pleasure of producing something.
Shehad quite forgotten to feel injured,
and was learning to endure with pa
tience the rasping of the fiber between
her fingers, when Winthrope came
ri q M hnrir0 hn -
cliff.
What is it?" she exclaimed spring,
ing up and hurrying to meet him. He
was white and quivering, and the look
in his eyes filled her with dread.
Her voice shrilled to a scream:
He's dead,"
Winthrope shook his head
"Then he's hurt!-he's hurt by that
savage creature, and you've run off
and left him"
mo, no, Miss Genevieve, l must in
sist! The fellow is not even
scratched"
Then why-?"
1T was the horror of 1t all. 1t actu-
ally made me ILL.,"
1Ou frightened me almost 10 Qeatn.
Did the beast chase you?"
That would have been better, in a
! way. Really, it was horrible I'm
still sick over it, Miss Genevieve."
"But tell me about it. Did you set
fire to the bushes in the cleft, as Mr..
Blake"
yes; after we had fetched what we
could carry of that long grass-two big
trusses. 1t grows 10 or IL feet tall,
and is now quite dry. Part of it Blake
made into torches, and we fired the
bush all across the foot of the cleft.
Really, one would not have thought
there was that much dry wood in SC
green dell. On either side of the
rill the grass and brush fared like
tinder, and the flames swept up the
cleft far quicker than we had ex-
pected. We could hear them cracking
and roaring louder than ever after the
smoke shut out our view"
Surely, there is nothing so very
horrible in that"
NO, oh, no; 1t was not that. But
the beast-the leopard! At first we
heard one roar; then 1t was that
dreadful snarling and yelling-most

A story which almost parallels that
told of Capt. Gray, the sailor-farmer
of Teddy Pond, who is said to carry a
compass on his plow to run the fur
rows straight, comes from Cranberry
isles. One sea captain, who enjoys
the proud distinction of owning ono
of the very few horses on the island,
got alarmed for fear that he would
lose his bearings in the recent smoke.
and on the veracious accounts of sober
citizens took the pinnacle from the
vessel and strapped it alongside the

Blake shook the glass in their be-
wilGered faces.
Look there!" he shouted, there's
fire; there's water; there's birds

"Np l mean to do! Don't worry.
You can hide with Miss Jenny on the
point; while | engineer the deal. Fall

The day was still fresh when they
found themselves back at the foot of
the cliff. Here arose a heated debate
between the men. Winthrope, stung
by Blake's jeering words, insisted
upon sharing the attack, though with
no great enthusiasm. Much to Blake s
surprise, Miss Leslie came to the sup
port of the Englishman.
But, Mr.. Blake" she argued, "you
say it will be perfectly safe for us
here. If so, 1t will be safe for myself

yes; if | thought he'd be at hand
after the first scare
Winthrope started off almost on a
run. At that moment he might have
| faced the leopard single-handed. Blake
chuckled as he swung away after his
victim. Within ten PAGES, however, he
paused to call back over his shoulder:
Get around the point, Miss Jenny,
and if you want something to do, try
| braiding the cocoanut fiber"
Miss Leslie made no response; but
! she stood for some time gazing after
| the two men, There was so much that
! was characteristic even in this rear
| view. For all his anger and his haste
the Englishman bore himself with an
air of well.bred nicely. His trim
| erect figure needed only a fresh suit
to be irreproachable. On the other
| hand, a careless observer, at first
| glance, might have mistaken Blake
with his flannel shirt and shouldered
club, for a hulling navy. But there
was nothing of the navy in his swing
| ing stride or in the resolute poise OF
his head as he came up with Win
| thrope.
Though the girl was not given to re
! fection, the contrast between the two
could not but impress her. How well
her countryman-coarse uncultured
but full of brute strength and courage
fitted in with these primitive sur
roundings. Whereas Winthrope-and

She fell into a kind Of diSquieted
brown study. Her eyes had an odd
look, both startled and meditative-

beneath the surface of things, and
sees the naked Realities Of Life, the
real values, barred of masking conven
tions 1t may have been that she was
seeking to ponder the meaning of her
own existence-that she had caught a
| glimpse of the vanity and wasteful
ness, the utter futiiity of her life. Al

AID TO CRI7TENTON ..
HOME IS Legal


The senate has passed an appropria
ton bill in aid of the Florence Critten-
ton home at Fargo. This matter has
been for several sessions before the
legislature but constitutional objec-
tons have always been raised to the
granting of state aid to an institution
In the nature of private benefce.
Miss Topping of Fargo, has been &C
tive in working for state appropria-
tion and obtained an opinion from the
attorney general that a bill could be
passed that would not meet with con-
stitutional objections. The opinion
of the attorney general is as follows:
Dear Madam: You have requested
an opinion from me as to whether the
Legislature Of this state could legally
appropriate money in aid of the Crit
tenton home at Fargo, which I under
stand is an institution for the care of
women about to become mothers, and
especially for poor women in such con.
dition without other means of care
or home. and you advise that objec-
tions have been raised to such appro-
priation on the part of the legislature
on the theory that such an appropria-
ton would be in violation of our state
constitution. I have examined the con-
stitution with a view of discovering
any prohibition of such appropriation
contained therein. If there be such it
must be found in section 1876 thereof,
which prohibits the state or any coun-
ty, city, township, town, school dis
trict or political subdivision from
making donations to or in aid of any
individual, association or corporation,
except for necessary support Of the
poor, from which it will be seen that
support of the poor Is excepted. The
home are poor within the meaning of
only question then, necessary to deter
mine is whether the inmates of this
this constitutional provision. If they
are an appropriation would be legal.
presume that If women who have no
other means Of care or home apply for
admission to this home, the fact that
besides being poor and without means
of support they are also in such unfor-
tunate conditions does not take them
out of the class known as poor peo-
ple;" but, of course, there may be in
mates that are not poor, and as to
such no appropriation for their aid
could be made; mother words, the
act providing for the appropriation
must provide that the money can be
used only for the benefit of those in
mates who are poor and without 9TH
er means of sustenance during the per-
iod Of their stay in the home, and
should recognize the fact that the
state thad poor in the home for which
the appropriation should be used. If
so drawn, in my opinion, the appro-
priation would not be unconstituion-
al.
very respectfully Yours,
r. ANDREW MILLER,
Attorney General"

CIRCUS CHILDREN.

Tho Making Of Aerobats Begins At q"
Early Age.
It is nothing unusual for the larger
circuses to carry thirty and forty chill
dren, ranging all the way from mere
babies to boys and girls Of fifteen and
sixteen years Of age. The majority
are travelling with their parents, both
the father and mother doing daily duty
in the ring, and while often they are
trained to follow IN the steps Of their
elders they are seldom allowed to per
form In public.
It is a common belief among circus
men that the performer whose training
is not started until after the age Of six
will seldom make q distinctive record.

Hippopotamus Meat Has 4 Strong
Odor and Flavor Of Musk.
To the African traveller the hippo
potamus is species Of game particu-
larly desirable, for its ivory and its
hide are both valuable, while the not
inconsiderable danger involved in its
pursuit provides the delicious emotion
without which every kind Of hunting
Is tame and insipid. Moreover, the OBJ
legation under which the leader Of the
expedition lies to feed his servants and
carriers adequately makes one Of these
enormous beasts, twelve feet long or
10 and disproportionately wide, a per-
feet godsend. Not only does the hippo
potamus furnish a formidable amount
Of meat, but that meat has the ines
Unable merit of keeping fresh much
longer than any other, principally .ow-
ing to the fact that flies seem to have
an insurmountable horror Of 1t. I
must admit that for a long time
thoroughly sympathized with the flies.
Alive, the hippopotamus has peculiar
odor, somewhat resembling musk,
which discloses the presence Of the
animal from afar when he happens to
be to windward Of one. In the flesh
Of the dead animal this odor-or the
taste Of 1t, rather-persists and is much
appreciated by the natives, though for
eigners take long time to get accus
toned to it; some are never able to
support it-Wide World Magazine.
