Obediently he followed her. She

and the rope which she had rapidly
twisted about her middle and walked
on in triumph. If he had learned
something, so had she. Some one else
had called this man John in days gone

and united the rope from the trunk
and united It from his neck as we'll.
He stood silent, unresisting through 1t
all, rather pitiful figure she thought
at first until he was freed from the
degrading halter.
Then she waited in intense and
eager curiosity as to what he should
do next. The iron in his situation had
eaten into his soul. He had been mas.
tered by force. He could not under
stand 1t. He did not love the mastery
Still, without the knowledge of his
own powers, there occurred to him no
way to resent the ignominy to which
he had been subjected. He turned and
walked away from her. She stood
amazed, staring after him. 1t was the
first time he had withdrawn himself
from her presence. Where was he
going? Was this declaration of war?
Was there to be enmity between
them? In vague terror, moved by a
sudden impulse again, she called him.

to the mystery she fancied was in her
hand. She had such occupation before
her as she had never hoped to come
upon In a desert island, at least. The
rope added to her security. By piling
stones before the entrance to the cave
and reinforcing them with the boards
from the wreck of the boat and some
fallen tree branches on the shore, she
made a sort of barrier to 1t, not a
barrier that would have kept out of
the cave any one who desired to enter,
but one which would have to be re-
moved before one could enter. And

Lesson and Labor.

The task to which she set herself In
the morning would have been an i'm
possible one to many women, and in
deed II was hard one to her. The
buried boat lay in the sand some rods
distant from the nearest tree. There
was absolutely no shelter from the
fierce heat of the tropic sun. She was
not yet fully accustomed to 1t. and
indeed perhaps she never would be
able to endure II without some sort
of a head covering. She improvised
a bonnet from the leaf of low spring
ing palm tree, which, with her remain
ing handkerchief, she tied about her
head. And then with her watchful
friend by her side she descended the
beach to the boat and began to dig.
1t was hard and very tedious work.
With the fiat make-shift shovel in the
shape of the rough piece of board 1t
was almost impossible to lift the sand
Yet she attacked the task resolutely
and persevered sturdily for long
time until the sweat beaded her fore
head, her back ached. her hands. un

almost blistered. She realized at last
that she would have to give it over.
She wondered as she ceased her
labors whether the constant observa
ton which the man had subjected her
to would enable him to continue the
work AS an experiment she handed

in this instance, she gave no heed.
Presently she had completely UNI
covered the two skeletons. She had
studied anatomy, but was not a spe-
cialist in that department Of human
learning. She thought that the skele-
ton before her was that of woman.
She measured its length with piece
of tall grass and compared 1t with her
own. They were both of size. The
soil in which the bones lay was soft
and porous. Every vestige of clothing
| had long since rotted away and disap-
peared with the flesh it covered. II
the person whose bones lay there had
worn any article of gold or silver,
which, being rustless would have sur
vived the long exposure, they were
probably buried In the earth beneath
the bones. She would attend to that
| later. u
Then she looked toward the bones
at the feet of the human remains and
decided instantly that they were the
bones of dog. Across the vertebrate
lay piece of metal She picked it up.

which had probably belonged to a
dog collar. There was an inscription
on 1t which she did not take the trou-

repulsive as the task was, and carried
them down to the boat on the beach.
She laid them In the bottom of the
boat carefully and then moved by a
sudden impulse, she went back and
gathered up those of the dog which
she put in the boat also. 1t was an
easy matter to tumble few spadefuls
of sand over the bones. Then she left
them in that rude Viking sepulture.
knowing that time would soon refill
, the empty dinghy and the bones would
be safely buried unless some other in
