CHAPTER XIII.
The End of the World.

E>=|M n the morning he met Miss
p ~ Leslie with sullen bear
- LIZ ing, which, however, did
not altogether conceal his desire to
be on friendly terms. Having re-
gained her self-control, she responded
NO this with such tact that by evening
each felt more at ease in the new re-
lationship, and Blake had lost every
trace of his moroseness. The fact
that both were passionately fond of
music proved an immense help. 1t
gave them an impersonal source of
mutual sympathy and understanding
"a common meeting-ground in the
world Of art and culture, apart from
and above the plane of their material
wants.
Yet for all his enjoyment of the
girls wide knowledge of everything
relating to music, Blake took care
that their talks and discussions did
not interfere with the activities of
their primitive mode of life. AS soon
as he had finished with the barricade
he devoted himself to his tailoring
and shoe-making; while Miss Leslie,
between her cooking and wood-gather-
ing and daily visits to the cliff for
eggs had much to occupy both her
, thoughts and her hands.
At first every ascent of the cliff was
embittered by painful consciousness
Of the cairn over the north edge. For
tunately it was not in sight from the
direct path to the headland, and, as
she refrained from visiting it, the new
happenings of her wild life soon thrust
WINTHROP and his death out of the
foreground of her thoughts. Each day
she had to nerve herself to meet the
beaks and wings of the despoiled nest
owners each day she looked with
greater hope for the expected rescue
ship, only to be increasingly disap-
pointed.
But the hours she spent on the cliff
crest after gathering the days supply
of eggs were not spent merely in
watching and longing The inconven-
fences of carrying the eggs in a hand
kerchief or in one of the heavy jars
suggested a renewal of her attempt at
discriminating. Memory, persever-
ance and trace of inventiveness en-
abled her to produce a small but
serviceable hamper of split bamboo.
Encouraged by this success she
gathered a quantity of tough, wiry
grass, and wove a hat to take the
place of the flimsy palm-leaf make
shift. The result was by no means
satisfactory with regard to style, its
shape being intermediate between a
Mexican sombrero and a funnel; but
aside from its appearance, she could
not have wished for more COM
Portable head-cover. Before showing
1t to Blake, she wove a second one for
him, so that they were able to cast
aside the grotesque, palm-leaf affairs
at the same time.
The following morning Blake ap-
peared in an outfit to match her
leopard-skin dress. He had singed of
the hair of the hide out of which he
had made his moccasins, and his
hyena-skin trousers quite matched the
bristling stubble on his face.
Hey, Miss Jenny!" he hailed
what d. you think of this for fancy
needlework?"
Splendid! You're the very picture
of an Argentine vaquero."
"Greaser ugh! Let me get back
to the Weary Willy pants!"
Il mean you are very picturesque
That's 1t, is it? Glad I've got
something to call your leopardine
gown that won't make you huffy."

The story opens with the shipwreck of
the steamer on which Miss GeneyleVe
Leslie, an American heiress, Lord Win
thrope an Englishman, and Tom Blake,
a brusque American, were passengers.
The three were tossed upon an uninhab-
tied island and were the only ones not
drowned Blake, Stunned on the boat,
because of his roughness, became hero
as preserver of the helpless pair. The
Englshman was suing for the hand OF
Miss Leslie. WINTHROP wasted his last
match on a cigarette, for which he was
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
home in some cliffs. Blake found fresh
water spring. Miss Leslie faced an UNI
pleasant situation. Blake recovered his
surveyors magnifying glass, thus insur-
a large leopard and smothering several
cubs. In the leoopard's cavern they se built
burning the bottom of a tree until it fell
against the heights. The trio secured
aggs from the cliffs. Miss Leslie's white
-skiW was decided upon as a signal. Miss
LLesle made a dress from the leopard
Skin. Overhearing conversation be-
tween Blake and Winthrope, Miss Leslie

fish and almost died. Jackals attacked
the camp that night, but We're driven off
by Genevieve. Blake constructed an ami
NAL trap. 1t killed hyena. On a tour
the trio discovered honey and oysters.
Miss Leslie was attacked by poisonous
snake. Blake killed it and saved its poi
son to kill game. For the second time
Winthrope was attacked by fever. He
and Blake disagreed. The latter made
strong door for the private compartment
of Miss Lesles 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 He died the following morn
ing. The storm tore down their distress
flag. so a new one was swung from q
bamboo pole. Miss Leslie helped in COW
sring Winthrope's grave with stones.

GRADING Literary Power.

Dean Smaller Mathews says that the
newspaper shapes the popular mind
more by its headlines than by its ed
itorials." BY the same token, au-
thors impress by the title of their
books, not by their contents, artists by
their themes, rather than by their ex.
ecution-and lecturers by their plati-
tudes more than by their sense.

SECURES CONTRACT
VIII Install Electric Equipment
of New Aetna Building.
Will Be the Finest Work of the
Kind In the City

The H. B. Howard Electrical Co.
has been awarded the contract for the
electrical construction in the new
Aetna Building and Loan Association
building on West Seventh street.
This job is to be a model in modern
illumination. The building is fire
proof, being built of reinforced con-
crete so the entire electrical system is
to be the latest all conduit system.
Mr. Howard saws: ''This class of
work is expensive to install but being
indistructable it is really the only class
of work that ought to go into fine
modern building. I am glad to see
some of our new buildings adopting
this system as it is the only one al
lowed in some of our eastern cities in
the downtown districts. and practic-
allv eliminates any chance of fire
from the wiring or apparatus. Nothing
is too good for Topeka"

right swing. The sailor landed a
good left body blow, but Lewis sent
back a hard left to the face. A right
smash from the sailor sent Lewis to
the floor for two seconds Both were
sparring at the bell.
Smuggling by both marked the open
ing of the second round. After some
clever open fighting, Lewis crossed his
right to the jaw and topDled the
sailor. Burke was UP in four seconds
round, which was in favor of Lewis.
Burke fought Lewis to the ropes in
the third. and after a succession of
left labs followed by a right swing
he sent Lewis to the floor. Lewis
held on to the ropes but was sent
over him. Both were on their feet
in time to take their corners at the
clang of the gong.
Burke had the better of the ex-
changes in the early part OF the
fourth and tried hard for knock
out, but Lewis kept coming back and
gained strength during the intermis-
sion.
The fifth was a round of smuggling,
with no advantage for either man.
When the sixth round opened Lewis
went at his man like a tiger and fore
ing Burke to the ropes, sent a left TO
the face and crossed his right to the
law heavily. Burke went down for
the count, but was up again SECOND
after the bell rang.
