ma did do for me some. But 1t wasn't 90 much that. Few fellows could hit up the pace I've set and come out at all."
 T do not understand"
 Just what you might expect of a fellow in my fix-all kinds of gamble and drink and--the rest of it."
 Miss Leslie looked away, visibly distressed. She had not been reared after the French method Young as she was. she had nuttered at will about the borders of the garden of vice, knowing we'll that the gaudy blossoms were lures to entice one into the pitfall. Yet never before had she caught so clear a glimpse of the slimy depths.
 That's it." growled Blake. Throw me down cold just because I'm square enough to tell you straight out You make me tired! I'm not one of the work-ox sort, that can chew the cmd all the year round and cork the blood out of their brains. I've got to cut loose from the informal grind once in while, and barring a chance HOW and then at opera. there's never been any. thing but spree"
 "Oh, but that's so drsadfully shock. ing Mir. Blake!"
 And then like all the other little Aypocrites. you'll go and marry one of those swell dudes who's made that sort of thing his business, and every body knows it. but it's all politely un- derstood to'vs been sub rosa, so it's all right, because he knows how to part his name in the middle and"
 Please. please stop, Mir. El1ke' You don't know how cruel you are!
 Cruel? Suppose I told you about the millionaire cur that Oh. now, don't go and cry! Please don't cry Miss Jenny! wouldn't hurt your feelings for the world!

flushed. and stammered lamely: 'I-I didn't mean to say that!" She looked down, no less smbar- rasssd.
 Please let us talk of something else." she murmured. Tt has been such . pleasant morning, until you until we began this silly discussion. " "All right, all right! Only mop up the dewdrops and we'll turn on the sun machine. l really didn't mean to the things been ranking in me ever since we came aboard ship at the Cape, and Winthrops and Lady Bay rose had my seat changed so couldn't see you Not that hold any thing against them now"
 MT. Blake. suppose you know that this African coast 10 particularly dangerous for women. So far l have escaped the fever But you yourself said that the longer the attack is de layed ths worse it will be-" Blake's face darkened and he turned to stare inland along the ridge. She had dicked him on the raw, and he thought that she had done 50 inten- tionally.
 You think haven't tried-that I've been shamming!" he burst out bit terly. You're right. There's the one chance But couldn't leave you till the barricade was finished. and It's been only few days since All the same. I oughtn't to we waited day I'll start 1t tomorrow" What? Start what?"
 "A catamaran. l can rig one up in short order that, with skin sail and an outrigger, will do fairly well tc coast along inside the reefs--barrins squalls. Worst thing Is that it's all guess whether the nearest settle ment is up the coast or down"
 And you can think of going and leaving me all alone herel"
 That's better than letting you risk two-to-one chances on feeding the sharks"
 But you'd be risking it!'
 Blake uttered short harsh laugh
 What's the difference7" he paused moment; then added. with grim humor; Anyway. they'll have earned meal by the time they get me chewed up'
 You sha'n't go"
 "Oh, don't know. We'll see about it tomorrow. There's a grove of co coanuts wonder Come on, and I'll gel some nuts. can't see any water around here, and 1t would be dry eat ing, with only the flask"

I'm fixing it so it'll do me even when t rains''
 Had he been the kind of man that she had been educated to consider as alone entitled to the name of gentle man, she could have felt certain that he had intended the remark for Q del icately worded assurance. But was Tom Blake, for al; his blunt kindli- ness, capable of such tact? She chose to consider that he was.
 ''It's cunning little bungalow. But will not the rain flood you out?"
 It's going to have raised floor. You're more like to have the rain drive in on you again. I'll have to rig up porch over your door. It won't do to stuff up the hole. You've little enough air as it is But that can wait a while. There's other work more pressing. First. there's the bar ricade. By the time that's done those hyena skins will be cured enough to use. I've got to have new trousers soon. and new shoes. too.'
 T can do the sewing, if you will cut out the patterns"
 No; I'll take a stagger at 1t my self first. I'd rather you'd go egging. You need to run around more, to keep in trim"
 T feel quite well now, and am growing so strong, The only thing is this constant heat"
 Well have to grin and bear 1t. After all, it's not so bad, if only we can slave off the fever. Another req son want you to go for eggs is that you can take your time about it, and keep lookout for steamers"
 Then you think-?"
 Don't screw up your hopes too high. We've little show of being picked up by a chance boat on coast with reefs like this. But figure that if was in your daddy's shoes It'd be high time for me to be cabling ship to run up from Natal, or down from Zanzibar, to look around for jettison, ct ceteras'
 I'm sure papa will offer big re- ward"
 Second the motion! I've a sort of idea I wouldn't mind coming in for a reward myself"
 You? Oh yes; to be sure. Papa is generous, and he will be grateful to anyone who"
 You think I mean his dirty money!" broke Tn Blake, hotly.
 Her confusion told him that he had not been mistaken. His face, only a moment since bright and pleasant, took on it's sullenest frown.
 Miss Leslie rose hurriedly and started along the cleft.
 "Helloi" he called. Not going for eggs now. are your"
 She did not reply.
 Hang it all, Miss Jenny! Don't go off like that"
 May I ask you to excuse me, MT. Blake? Is that sufficient"
 Sufficient? It's enough to give a fellow a chilli Come, now; don't go off mad. You know I've a quick tenn per. Can't you make allowances?'
 "Youve-you've no right to look so angry, even if I did misunderstood you You misunderstood mel" She caught herself up with half sob. His silence gave her time to recover her composure. She continued with ex- cessiye politeness: Need I repeat my request to be excused, MT. Blake?"
 No: once is enough. But, honest. now, I didn't mean to be nasty"
 "Good-day. Mir. Blake"
 "Oh, da-darn 1t, good-day!" he

 When, a few minutes later. she re turned, he was gone. He did not come back until some time after dark when she had withdrawn to her lean 10 for the night, His hands were bleeding from thorn scratches; but after a hasty supper he went back down the cleft to build up the new wall of the barricade with the great stack of fresh thorn-brush that he had gathered during the afternoon.

The fact that both were passionately fond of music proved an immense help. It gave them an impersonal source of mutual symrathy and unders,anding --a common meetin s-ground in tie world of arr and culture. apart from and above the plane or their material wants.
