ter. l fancy they enjoy surf bathing
as keenly as ourselves"
Il do believe you are right. There
is one going in from the quiet water.
But look at those funny little ones on
the backs of the others!"
Must be the baby hippOs," replied
Winthrope, indifferently. IF you
please, I'll take a pull at the flask. I
am very dry
When he had half emptied the flask,
he stretched out in the shade to doze.
But Miss Leslie continued to watch
the movements of the snorting hippos,
amused by the ponderous antics of the
grown ones in the surf, and the comic
appearance of the barrellike infants
as they mounted the backs of their
obese mothers
| Presently Blake came out from
| among the mangrOves, and walked
across to the beach, few yards away
from the huge bathers. To all ap-
pearances, they paid as little attention
to him as he to them. Miss Leslie
| glanced about at Winthrope. He was
| fast asleep. She waited a few mo
ments to see if the hippopotami would
attack Blake. They continued to ig
more him, and gaining courage from
their Indifference. she stepped out
from behind the thicket, and advanced
to where Blake was crouched on the
beach. When she came up, she saw
beside him a heap of oysters. which
he was opening in rapid succession.

a cane, which he had cut and trimmed
during the night.
Having sent Miss Leslie to fill the
whisky flask with spring water, he
dropped three cocoanut-shell bowls, a
piece of meat and lump of salt into
one of the earthenware pots, and
slung all over his shoulder in the ante
lope skin With his bow hung over
the other shoulder, knife and arrows
in his belt, and his big club in his
hand, he looked ready for any contin-
gency.
We'll hit first for the mouth of the
river" he said. I'm going on ahead.
If I'm not in sight when you come up,

Blake. I've seen them enough now

That is so clever of you, Mr..
Blake" remarked Miss Leslie.
Simple enough when you happen to
think of it," responded Blake. Yes;
the only thing you've got to look out
for's the ticks in the grass. They'll
keep you interested. They bit me ur
in great shape
He scowled at the recollection
nodded by way of emphasis, and was
off like shot. The edge OF the plair
beneath the cliff was strewn with
rocks. among which, even with Miss

his way but slowly. Before they were
clear of the rough ground, they saw
Blake disappear among the man
groves.

yer with confidence, and told the de-
tails Of her acquaintance with Stuckey.
She said he had promised to teach her
music and elocution. and dress her
better than her parents did.
