Nhipwreck of the steamer on which Miss
Genevieve Leslie, an American heiress.
Lord Winthrope. an Englishman, and Tom
Blake, a brusque American, were passen-
gers. The three were tossed upon an un-
inhabited island and were the only ones
not drowned. Blake recovered from a
drunken stunor

me Englishman was suing for the hand
of Miss Leslie. Blake started to swim
back to the ship to recover what was
left.
CHAPTER ITI.-Blake returned safely.
Nfnthrope wasted his last match on a
cigarette. for which he was scored by
Blake. Their first meal WAS a dead fish.
CHAPTER IV.-Tne trio started a ten
mile hike for higher land. Thirst at
tackled them. Blake was compelled to
carry Miss Leslie on account of weart-
ness. He tainted Winthrope.
CHAPTER V.-They entered the jun
gle. That night was passed roosting high
Ia a tree.
CHAPTER Nl.-The next morning they
descended to the open again. All three
constructed hats to shield themselves
from the sun. They then Toasted on
cocoanuts, the only procurable food. Miss
Leslie showed a liking for Blake, but de-
tested his roughness
The Falls City tribune., 1909-01-01

Good Lord, you haven't been foo
enough to overstrain that ankle Yes
you have. Dammit! why couldn't you
tell me before?"
1T did not feel so painful in the
water"
Il helped the best / could" inter
posed Miss Leslie. Il think II you
could get Mr.. Winthrope a crutch-'
"Crutch!" growled Blake. How
long do you think it would take me to
wade through the mud? And look al
that cloud, We're in for a squat
Here"
He handed the girl the smaller
string of c%ocoanuts, flung the other up
the beach and stopped for WINTHROP
to mount his back. He Their started
off along the beach at a sharp trot,
Miss Leslie followed as best she
could, the heavy %cocoanuts swinging
about with every step and bruising heI
tender body.
The wind vas coming faster than
Blake had calculated. Before they had
run 200 PAGES 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.

the driving downpour. He kept to the
lower edge Of the beach, where the
sand was frmest, 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 30 or 40 feet high. Blake de-
posted Winthrope upon a wet ledge
and Strengthened up to sea the head
land. Here and there lodges ran more
than halfway up the rocky wall; in
ether 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.
It'd take a fire ladder to get up this
side" he said. Wen have to try
the other, il we can get 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 you. I've got my hands fun
enough without having to nurse you
through malarial fever. Don't forget
the %cocoanuts, and II | don't show up

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 ont of Blake's voice
revived her instantly.
There were nc 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 flattened 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. A 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 a 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.

squatted down to nurse his ankle.
Il say, Blake" he said, cant you
find me some kind of a crutch? 1t is
only a few yards around to those

shape. When he had placed this also
out in the sun he found himself be-

had made him drowsy. A touch With
