falling tree. She made hasty toilet
and ran out around the baobab. The
burned tree, eaten half through by the
fire, had been pushed over against the
cliff by Blake and Winthrope. Both
had already climbed up and now stood
on the edge OF the cliff.
Hello, Miss jenny" shouted Blake.
We've got here at last. Want to
come up?"
Not now, thank you"
Its easy enough. But you're right.
Try your hand again at the outlets,
won't you? While they're frying we'll
get some eggs for dessert How does
that strike you?"
1--WE have no way to cook them"
Roast EN- in the ashes. So long,"
Miss Leslie cooked breakfast over
the watchfire, for the other had been
scattered and stamped out by the men
when the tree fell. They came back
in good time, walking carefully, that
they might not break the eggs with
which their pockets bulged. Between
them, they had brought a round dozen
and a half. Blake promptly began
slowing all In the hot ashes, while
Winthrope related their little adven-
ture with unwonted enthusiasm.
You should have come with US,
Miss Genevieve." he began. This time
of day II Is glorious on the clir top.
Though the rock Is bare. there is a fine
view"
Fine view Of grub near the end"
interpolated Blake.
"As, yes; the birds you must take
a look at them, Miss Genevieve! The
sea end of the cliff is alive with them
hundreds and thousands, all hud-
died together and fighting for room.
They are a sight, assure you! They're
plucky, too. 1t was well we took

we've hoped over the starvation stile.
Understand? The whole blessed cliff

Pass the leorardettes, Miss Jenny"
When the last bit OF meat had disap-
peared, Blake raked the eggs from the
ashes and began to crack them, sol

said the barber. "Pshaw, l thought
everybody knew that They wear long
hair to protect their ears. OF course
their sensitive ears. All depends, with
musicians, on the ears, the same as
all depends on the eyes with paint

WANTED TO BE LED ACROSS.
Elderly Lady Mistook outstretched
Hand of Unfortunate for Prof
ferred Assistance.

There is a story of an elderly lady
standing on the curb by a crowded
crossing in the height of the season.
too nervous to venture off the pave
ment. She was anxious to get to her
destination on the other side OF the
thoroughfare, but hesitated to risk the
journey. Presently, she perceived a
stranger offering his hand. She seized
it and they both plunged into the
traffic. A motor bus all but ran over
them; taxicab whizzed past so close
that the lady fancied her last moment
had come. She chung tighter to her
guide, who never fiinched, but went
madly on under the heads of the
horses. Then they all but collided
with bicycle, and the wheels of a
hanson twisted the feathers of the
lady's toque. A tram car at that mo-
ment passed an inch from their toes
and butchers cart knocked her
handbag yards away. A motor horn
at her ear nearly frightened her out
of her wits, and the pole of bus,
catching her in the back, pushed her
on to the pavement. BY this time,
she had found voice to upbraid the
man to whom she had been clinging.
"Oh, dear! Oh, dear! It's a won
der I'm alive?! What do you mean,
man? l might have been killed a
dozen times over Are you blind?"
That's just what l am, marm," re-
piled the poor fellow; $50 l held out
my hand for some one to lead me
across. Harry Furniss, in Strand.

handed around and Blake sprang up
to resume work.
Mr.. Blake" she called, In low
tone; "one moment. please. Would It
save much bother II a door was made
and you and Mr.. WINTHROP should
sleep inside?"
Well see about that later" replied
Blake, carelessly.
The girl bit her lip. and the tears
started to her eyes. Even Winthrope
had started OF without expressing his
appreciation. Yet he at least should
have realized how much 1t had cost
her to make such an offer.
BY evening she had her tree-cave-
house, she preferred to name II to her
self-in a habitable condition. When
the purifying fire had burnt itself out.
leaving the place free from all odors
other than the wholesome smell OF
wood smoke, she had asked Blake how
she could rake out the ashes. His
advice was to wet them down where
they lay.
This was easier said than done.
Fortunately the spring was only few
yards distant, and after many trips,
with her palm-leaf hat for bowl, the
girl carried enough water to sprinkle
all the powdery ashes. Over them
she strewed the leaves and grass which
she had gathered. while the fire was
burning The driest Of the grass, ar
ranged In far corner, promised a
more comfortable bed than had been
her lot for the last three nights.
During this work she had been care
full not to forget the fire at the tree.
Yet when, near shutdown, she called
the third meal OF leopard meat, Blake
grumbled at the tree for being what he
termed such q confounded tough prop
osition.
Good thing there's lots of wood
here, Win" he added We'll keep this
fire going till the blamed thing top
pies over, IL 1t takes year"
"Oh, but you surely will not stay
so far from the baobab tonight" ex.
claimed Miss Leslie.
Hold hard!" soothed Blake You've
no license to get the jumps yet a
while. Well have another fire by the
baobab. So you needn't worry"
A few minutes later they went back
to the baobab, shd Winthrop began
helping Miss L~slie to construct a
bamboo screen in the narrow entrance
OF the tree-cave, while Blake built
the second fire.
AS Winthrope was unable to tell
time by the stars, Blake took the FIRST
watch. At sunset, following the en-
gineer's advice. Winthrope lay down
with his feet to the small watch-fre,
and was asleep before twilight had
deepened into night. Tagged out by
the mental and bodily stress Of the
day, he slept 10 soundly that 1t seemed
to him he hardly lost consciousness
when he was reused by a rough hand
on his forehead.
What Is it," he mumbled.
Bout one o'clock" said Blake.
Wake up! / ran overtime, cause
the morning watch is the toughest.
But can't keep wake any longer"
Il say. this is beastly BORE" re-
marked Winthrope, sitting up.
"Um-m," grunted Blake, who was al.
ready on his back.
Wintbrope rubbed his eyes, rose

turned to the fire. After some little
experimenting, she contrived way to
support the rod beside the fire so that
all the meat would roast without burn
ing.
At first, keen as was her hunger,
she turned with disgust from the fab
by sun-seared flesh; but as II began to
roast, the odor restored her appetite
to full vigor. Her mouth fairly wa
tered. 1t seemed as though Winthrope
and Blake would never come. She
heard their voices, and took the bam-
boo spit from the fire for the meat to
cool. Still they failed to appear. and.
unable to wait longer. she began to
eat. The cub meat proved far more
tender than that of the old leopard.
She had helped herself to the second
piece before the two mon appeared.

Both men caught at the hot meat
with eagerness, and WINTHROP
promptly forgot all else in the animal
pleasure of satisfying his hunger.
Blake, though no less hungry, only
waited TO I'LL his mouth before inves-
tigating the condition Of the prospec-
tive tree ladder The result OF the
attempt to burn the trunk did not
seem encouraging to the others, and
Miss Leslie looked away, that her face
might not betray her, should he have
an inkling of her neglect. She was
relieved by the cheerfulness of his
tone.
SLOW work, this fire business-eh?
Guess, though. it'll go faster this after.

Miss Leslie colored and hesitated

WINTHROP tried to catch Blake's

Miss Leslie's embarrassed face with a
puzzled look. Her meaning dawned
upon him, and he haf 'ened to reply.
All right, Miss Jenny. You can

The three were tossed upon an uninhab-
itod island and were the only ones not
drowned. Blake recovered from a drunk

because of his roughness, became a hero
as preserver OF the helpless pair. The
Engishman was suing for the hand OF
Miss Leslie. Blake started to swim back
10 the ship TO recover what was left.
Blake returned safely. WINTHROP wasted
his last match on a cigarette. for which
he was scored by Blake. Their first meal
was dead ash. The trio started ten
mile hike for higher land. Thirst at
tackled them. Blake was compelled 10
carry Miss Leslie on account OF weari-
ness. He tainted Winthrope. They en-
tered the Jungle. That night was passed
roosung high In a tree. The next morn
Ing they descended to the open again.
All three constructed hats to shield them
selves from the sun. They then Toasted

JUMPING TRAINS

Considerable has been said by
the local papers in the past re-
garding the jumping on and off
the trains that pass through here,
by the small boys, but it does not
seem to give the warning to the
parents that it should. At most
every train, passenger and freight,
small boys from the age of s or 9
years up to IS years can be seen
jumping on and off the cars while
in motion. If this practice is con-
tinued, it will shortly be the pain
full duties of the local papers to
publish the obituary of one or
more of those boys, or herald the
account of a terrible accident to
the youngsters. Its a practice
that should be stopped, and if not
peacefully, the law on that point
should de enforced, A stay in
the jail for a few of them would
be good cure and might prove
lesson to the others.
Wednesday night at the limited
two boys under 10 years of age
were seen riding on the steps of a
sleeping car, and jumping off
when the train got beyond the
station platform. one of those
youngsters had a narrow escape
from death, while the other fell
off in the sand. This matter should
be looked after before it is too
late and death or severe acct
dent takes place.
