CHAPTER XIV.

ss ne flre was soon re-lit, and

LIN 1t had ample time to sim
mer. Winthrope was wrapped in
hfe-siving sleep, out of which he did
not awaken until evening, while Blake,
unable to wait for the pot TO boil, and
nauseated by the tishy odor of the
dried 6eafowl hunted out the jerked
leopard meat, and having devoured
enough to satisfy a native, fell asleep
under a bush
The sun was half down the sky
when he sat up and looked around,
wide awake the moment he opened
his eyes. Miss Leslie was quietly
placing an armful of sticks on the fuel
heap beside the baobab.
Hello, Miss Jenny, Hard at it,
see, he called cheerfully.
Hush" she cautioned. "Mr. Win
thrope is still asleep"
Good thing for him He'll need all
OF that he can get"
Then you think"

But cannot We possibly get away
from here before then? Is there no
way! Surely, you are so resource

Nothing doing, Miss Jenny! Give
me tools, and I'd engage to turn out a
Seagoing boat But as it is, the only
thing | could do would be to fire burn
q log That would take two or three
months, and in the end we'd have a
iop-sided canoe that'd live about half
a second in one of these tropic
squalls"
Do not the natives sail in canoes ?"
Maybe they do-and they make fire
by rubbing sticks. We don't"
But what can we do?"
Take our medicine, and wait for a
ship to show up"
But we have no medicine"
Have no Say, Miss Jenny, you
really ought to have stayed home from
boarding school and England long
enough to learn your own language. I
meant, we've got to take what's COM
ing to US, without laying down or

You mean that we must resign our
selves to this intolerable situation

around very much. Well go on the
hike, soon as Win can wobble Which
reminds me, I've got a little hike on
hand now. I'm going to close up that
barricade before dark. Me for a quiet
night"
Without waiting for a reply, he took
his weapons, and swung briskly away
down the cleft.
He returned a few minutes before
sunset, with what appeared to be a
large fur bag upon his back. Miss
Leslie was pouring bowl Of broth
from the stew-pot, and did not notice
him until he sang out to her: Hey
Miss Jenny, spill over that stuff! Nc

MER SHARE in THE OWNERSHIP.
Something Proud Young Fatherseemed
In Danger of Forgetting.

He picked up the baby, he hoped,
Just as II picking babies up were an
everyday occurrence. In point Of fact,
he remembered that an elderly lady
had told him in his youth that cats,
when lifted, like to be supported with
hand held underneath, and he
thought that this principle would work
out with babies, and 1t did. And hay
ing awakened Louise, he handed her
back, triumphant, to Constance, diffus-
ing an air Of competency, as though he
could help rear any number Of chill
dren at once. At any rate, she was
comforted. Whether he knew much
or little, he stood back Of her
It may be that Johns success as
father led him to seem vainglorious
when he was not. He certainly put
on airs about the baby. 1t was not
long after this that he lured two old
friends ostensibly to dinner. His in
vitation did not include visit to
Louise, and, Of course, 1t was merely
an accident that she should have been
awake at the time when they were
there. As matter of fact, she usually
awoke at that hour, but the men didn't
know this-or perhaps they wouldn't
have come. Men have becoming shy
ness about babies, and these were
bachelors.
John had arrived at that state Of ar.
rogance when he actually went over
to the crib, and asking no ones per-
mission, picked Louise up and dis
played her to the two men, who were
as embarrassed as a dog In the pres
ence Of June bug. He laid her down
again with an expert hand, and osten-
tatiously changed the subject, to show
that he was not among those fathers
who pushed their children down other
peoples throats. But his manner
said:
"This is my baby; and when you fel-
lows can show me anything as inter-
esting you will be Of value to So
ciety."
1t was after they had gone that Con-
stance came up, and put her hands on
Johns shoulders, and said:
After all, you know, it's my baby,
too."-Woman's Home Companion.

REASON FOR THIS SLANG TERM.
Medical Men Say One Really Sees
Blue When Painting.

The use Of the word blue" to de.
note melancholy or terror, as in the
phrases to feel blue" blue Devils"
blue funk" and so on, Is not en-
tirely figurative, If we are to credit q
recent medical writer.
The class Of phenomena that in
cludes fainting, vertigo, neusea, ETC., is
controlled by certain brain centers
that also bring about a sort Of cramp
Of the external muscles of the eye.
The resulting compression Of the or
gan causes objects to look gray or
blush, and ultimately produces ap-
parent darkness.
The use Of the word, having a physi.
illogical basis, Is common to many
languages. The French say, for in
stance, II see blue" A writer says
that the French word eblouissement
(giddiness) should be spelled ebleuis-
sement, and has the same origin.
