The distinction of first appointing q

How wide is it?" inquired Win
thrope, gazing at his swollen hands.
About 800 yards at high tide. May
be narrower at ebb."
Gould you not build raft?" sug-
gested Miss Leslie.
Blake smiled at her simplicity. why
not boat? We've got a penknife."
''Well, then. can SWIM

full of alligators. What you waiting
for, Pat? We haven't got all day to
fool around here"
Winthrope ed the creeper about
his leg and slid to the ground, doing
all he could to favor his hands. He
found that he could walk without pain,
and at once stepped over beside
Blake's club. glancing nervously
around at the jungle.
Blake jerked up the end of the
creeper, and passed the loop about
Miss Leslie. Before she had time to
become frightened he swung her over
and lowered her to the ground lightly
as feather. He followed, hand under
hand, and stood for moment beside
her. staring at the dew-dripping foli-
age of the Jungle. Then the remains
of the nights quarry caught his eye,
and he walked over to examine them.

look like deer bones. I'd say-yes;

"Mercy-and you expect me to wade

Leslie.

The girl blushed. and retained his
arm.

Come on!" called Blake. and he
splashed out into the water.
The others followed within arms
length, nervously ,Sconscious of the
rows of motionless reptiles on the
mud-flat, not 100Safds distant.
In the center OF the bar, where the
water was a trife over knee-deep,
some large creature came darting
downstream beneath the surface and
passed with a violent swirl between
Blake and his combanions. At Miss
Leslie's scream, Bikke whirled about
and jabbed with hif club at the sup
posed alligator.
Where's the brute. Has he got

thrope. There he is!"
A long bony snout. fringed on either
side by a row of lateral teeth, was
flung up into view.f ~
"Sawfish!' said Bake, and he waded
on across the bar without further COM
ment.
Miss Leslie had h1en on the point
Of fainting. The toHe OF Blakes voice
revived her instantly
There were no more scares. A few
minutes later they Ewaded out upon a
stretch of clean sRnd on the south
of the river. Before them the beach
lay in fiattened durye, which at the
far end hooked shatply to the left and
appeared to terminate at the foot Of
