SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with the shipwreck OF
the steamer on which Miss Genevieve
Leslie, an American heiress, Lord WIN
thrope, an Englishman, and Tom Blake,
a bruSQue American, were passengers.
The three we're tossed upon an uninhab-
tied island and were the only ones not
drowned. Blake, Stunned on the boat,
because OF his roughness became nero
as preserver of the helpless pair. The
Englishman was suing for the hand or
Miss Leslie. Winthrope wasted his last
scored by Blake. 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 detested his rough
ness. Led by Blake, they established a
home in some cliffs. Blake found fresh
water spring. Miss Leslie faced an un-
pleasant situation. Blake recovered his
surveyors magnifying glass, thus insur-
ing fire. He started jungle hre, killing
a large leopard and smothering several
cubs. In the leopard's cavern they built
a small home. They gained the clins by
burning the bottom of tree until II fel,
against the heights. The trio trio secured cured
skirt was decided upon as a signal. Miss
Leslie made dress from the leopard
skin. Oyerhearing a conversation pc
became frightened Winthrope became
I'll with fever. Blake was poisoned by a
fish and almost died. Jackals attacked
the camp that night but were driven OH
by Genevieve. Blake constructed an ami
NAL trap. 1t killed a hyena. On tour
the trio discovered honey and oysters
Miss Leslie was attacked by a poisonous
snake. Blake killed it and saved its poi
son TO kill game. For the second time
WINTHROP was attacked by fever. He
and Blake disagreed The latter made
strong door for the private compartment
of Miss Leslie's cave home. A terrible
storm ragged that night. Winthrope stole
into her room, but she managed TO swing
her door closed in time. WINTHROP was
badly hurt.

Then Coddling II.

II We would take as good care Of
our good health as we do of our bad
health We would have more of the
former and less of the latter. We set
our good health down in a draft and
let 1t get its feet wet; we infringe on
Its sleep time and gorge 1t with I'M
suitable food at irregular hours. We
load 1t with nerve-racking cares and
duties. and reply to its frantic ap-
peals for rest with. you haven't
time" We squeeze it with clothing;
we distract it's ears with noise and it's
lungs with bad air. But we put our
bad health in quiet room, on soft
couch. We robe 1t in a comfortable
gown; we give it pure air at stated
intervals; We put ice on its head and
hot water at its feet; we feed 1t with
food convenient for it, We take
away all care and responsibility; we
give it soothing draught to rest it;
and We pay doctor two dollars to
come and leave it scrap of paper
and say that it will better tomorrow.

health to good health. From an ar

CHAPTER XXI.
Wreckage and Salvage.

panied the cyclone; all the cleft bot.
tom other than the bare lodges was
bed of mud; everything without the
tree-cave had been either blown away
or heaped with broken boughs and
mud-spattered rubbish But the girl
had far too much to think about to
feel any concern over the mere dam
age and destruction of things. Ii was
rather a relief to find something that
called for work.
Catching sight of a bit Of white
down among the bamboos, she went to
1t, and was not little surprised to
see the tattered remnant of her duck
skirt. 1t had evidently been torn from
the signal staff by the first gust of the
cyclone, whirled down into the cleft
by some flaw or eddy in the wind, and
wadded so tightly into the heart of the
thick clump of stems that all the fury
of the storm had failed to dislodge
Ii. It's recovery seemed to the girl a
special providence; for of course they
must keep up a signal on the cliff.
Having started her fire and set on a
stew, she hunted out her sewing ma
terials from their crevice in the cave
and began mending the Sits in the
torn flag. While she worked she sal
on a shaded ledge, her bare feet toast
ing in the sun, and her soggy, mud
smeared moccasins drying within
reach. When Blake appeared, the
moccasins were still where she had
first set them, but the little pink feet
were safely tucked up beneath the
tattered flag. Fortunately, the sight
of the white cloth prevented Blake
from noticing the moccasins.
"Hello!" he exclaimed. Whats
that?-the flag? Say, that's luck!
I'll break out bamboo right of. Ole
staff's carried clean away"
"Mr. Blake-just a moment, please
What have you done with-with it,"
Blake jerked his thumb upward.

the squares near the euSe 0dQ Deen
ripped open. Blake thurst in his fin
ger and worked out an emerald the
size Of large pea.
"O-h-h!" cried Miss Leslie, as he
held the glittering gem out to her in
his rough palm.
He drew it back and carefully thrust
it again into its pocket.
That's one" he said. There's an
other in every square of this innocent,
harmless rag-dozens of them. He
must have made clean sweep Of the
duke's-or, more like, the duchess
jewels. Now, If you please, l want
you to sew this up tight again, and"
Il cannot cannot touch it," she
cried.

Blake. won't you excuse me?"
"Of course 1t was only the-the
thought that"
mo wonder. always am a fool
when 1t comes to ladies. I'll fix the
thing all right"
Catching up the nearest small pot,
he crammed the quilted cloth down
within 1t, and filled it to the brim with
sticky mud.
There! Guess nobody's going to

chance to look up the owner. He

mo; not as 1t is"
He nodded soberly. "All right,
then. Now I'll go for the new flag
staff. You might set out breakfast"
She nodded in turn, and when he
came back from the bamboos with the
largest of the great canes on his
shoulder, his breakfast was waiting
for him. She set it before him, and
turned TO go again to her sewing
Hold on" he said. This won't do
You've got to eat your share"
IL do not-I am not hungry"
That's no matter. Here!"
He forced upon her a bowl OF hot
broth, and she drank II because she
could not resist his rough kindness.
He bolted the last of his meat. and
at once left her alone TO cry herself
back to calmness over the stitching of
the signal.
His first concern was for the barri-
cade AS he had feared, he found that
1t had been blown to pieces. The
greater part Of the thorn branches
which he had gathered with so much
labor were scattered to the four cor.
ners of the earth. He stood staring
at the wreckage in glum silence; but
he did not swear. as he would have
/ done the week before Presently his
face cleared, and he began to whistle
in a plaintive minor key. He was
thinking of how she had looked when
she darted out of the tree at his call
of her concern for him. When he
was SO angered at Winthrope, she had
called him Tom!
After a time he started on. picking
his way over the remnant of the bar
ricade, without a falter in his whis-
Ting. The deiuge of rain had poured
down the cleft in a torrent, tearing
away the root-matted soil and laying
bare the lodges in the channel of the
spring rill. But aside from an occa-

steamer before long. 'Tisn't every
one of them that goes ashore in these
blows"
"Why did you build that door? Did
you suspect" She glanced down at
the huddled figure between them.
Blake frowned and hesitated; then
burst out almost angrily: We'll, you
know now he was a sneak; so it's not
blabbing to tell that much-I knew
he was before; and it's never safe to
trust a sneak"
Thank you!" she said, and she
turned away quickly that she might
not again look at the PROSTATE figure.

CHAPTER Xx.-Continued.

"Oh, quick Mr.. Blake! build fire!
It may be, some hot broth"
TOO late" muttered Blake "See
here, Winthrope, there's no use lying
about it. You're going out mighty
soon See if you can't die like a
man"
Die! Gawd, but can't die-I can't
die Ow! it burns"
He flung up hand, and sought to
tear at his wounds.
Hold hard" cried Blake, catching
the hand in an iron grip.
\ Something in his touch, or the tone
of command, seemed to cover the
wretched man into a state of abject
submission.
"S'elp me, I'll confess!-Pll confess
ALL" he babbled. The stones are
sewed in the stomach pad; 'ad to
take 'em hout of their settings, and
melt up the gold" He paused, and
cunning smile stole over his distorted
features "Ho, wot a bloomin lark!

last penny; and l had to take service.
My God! a valet-his grace's valet,
and ! a scholar! Do you wonder the

Blake's deep voice, firm but strange
ly husky, broke in upon and silenced
the cry Of agony: There, l guess
you've said enough"
"Enough-and last night My God
TO be such a beast! The devil tempted
me-aye, and he's paid me out in my
own coin! I'm done for! God ha
mercy on mcleod ha' mercy"
Again came the gasping rattle; this
time there was no rally.
Blake thrust himself between Miss
Leslie and the crumpled figure.
Get back around the tree" he said
1arshly.
What are you going TO do?"
That's my business" he replied. He
thrust his burning-glass into her
hand. Here; go and build fire, If
you can find any dry stuff"

Yes. Whatever he may have been,
he's dead now, poor DEVIL"
