SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with the shipwrecS of
the steamer on which Miss GeneVieVe
Leslie. an American heiress. Lord Win
thrope, an Eugnshman, and Tom Blake,
DruSquc American, were passengers.
The three We're 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
Miss Leslie. Winthrope wasted his last
match on n cigarette, for which he was
scored by Blake. An three constructed
hats to shield themselves from the sun.
They then feasted on cocoanuts, the only
procurable food Miss Leslie faced an un-
pleasant situation. Blake recovered his
surveyors magnifying glass thus insur-
ing fire He started jungle fire, killing
a lrrge leopard and smothering several
cEbs. In the leoopard's cavern they built
burning the bottom of a tree until 1t fell
Eainst the heights. The trio secured
ggs from the cliffs. Miss Leslie's white
Leslie made dress from the leopard
skin. OVerhearing conversation be-
tween Blake and Winthrope Miss Leslie
became frightened. Winthrope became
i'll with fever. Blake was poisoned by n
fish and almost died. Jackals attacked
the camp that night, but were driven off
by Genevieve. Blake constructed an ami
NAL trap. 1t killed a hyena. On tour
the trio discovered honey and oysters.
Miss Leslie was attacked by a poisonous
snake. Blake killed 1t and saved its poi
son to kill game. For the second time
Winthrope was attacked by fever He
and Blake disagreed. The latter made a
strong door for the private compartment
of Miss Leslies cave home. A terrible
storm ragged that night. Winthrope stole
into her room, but she managed to swing
her door closed in time. Winthrope was
badly hurt lie died the following morn
ing. The storm tore down their distress

bamboo pole. Miss Leslie helped in COW

She faltered and lay shuddering. Fear
full that she was about to swoon again
Blake slapped her hand between his
palms with stinging force.
You're it," he shouted. "The
jokes on you! Kitty jumped just the
other way, and he won't come back
in a hurry with that fire to head him
off. Jump up now and we'n do a jig
on the strength of it."
She attempted a smile, and a trace
of color showed in her cheeks. With
an idea that action would further her
recovery he drew her to a sitting posi-
tion, stepped quickly behind, and, with
his hands beneath her elbows, lifted
her upright. But she was still too
weak and giddy to stand alone. AS
he released his grip she swayed and
would have fallen had he not caught
her arm.

up; you're all right"
"Pm-I'm just a little dizzy" she
murmured, clinging to his shoulder.
1T will pass in minute. It's so silly,
but I'm that way-Tom, II think you
are the bravest man"
Yes, yes-but that's not the point.
Leave go now, like a sensible girl.
It's about time to hit the trail.'
He drew himself free, and without
glance at her blushing face began
TO gather up their scattered outfit.
His hat lay where he had weighted it
down with the cocoanut He tossed
the nut into the skin bag and jammed
the hat on his head, pulling the brim
far down over his eyes. When he had
fetched his club he walked back past
the girl with his eyes averted.
Come on" he muttered.
Inside the barricade Blake was
waiting to close the opening. She
crept through and rose to catch him
by the sleeve.
Tom, look at me-" she said. "Once

thoughts. I wronged you. Now l
must tell you that 1 think you are

Get away!" he exclaimed, and he
shook off her hand roughly Don't
be fool! You don't know what
you're talking about"
But do, Tom. believe that you

I'm blackguard-do you hear?"

mo, you shall not You shall not
go off and leave me, and-and risk
your life! l can't bear to think of it!
Stay with ME, Tom-dear! Even if a
ship never came"
He turned resolutely, so as not to
see her blushing face.
"Come now, Miss Leslie" he said
in dry, even tone; don't make 1t SC
awfully hard. Let's be sensible, and

TAILORED HATS HAVE GRACE
Like the Tailored Suit, They Are Mo
Longer Severe in Design-Panama
Continues Popular.

Theoretically the shirt waist no
longer appears in public, whatever
may actually happen when the mer-
curry persists in staying around the 80
mark until humanity reaches the limit
of its endurance. With the substitu-
ton of the tailored suit of linen or 9TH
err light weight fabric for the separate
skirt and waist, the shirt waist hat OF
ancient memory, though it has altered
it's character only a little, has become
the tailored hat The tailored hat,
like the tailored suit, admits OF var1a-
ton, and is sometimes far from being
cs severe as it's name indicates.
Some new tailored hats in which the
lines are especially graceful and the
color combinations a delight to the
soul are of wolfe stretched plainly over
wide shapes made of hemp straw. One
of these models was of old rose wolfe
over dark navy blue straw, the latter
showing only on the under side of the
brim. The trimming was a bow of
taffeta that matched the straw. An ex-
quisite union of tones was seen in
hat Of gray hemp straw covered with
Alice blue wolfe and simply trimmed
with a little scarf of gray wolfe
hemmed and fringed at the ends.
Other hats built on about the same
plan as those described are covered
with linen in number of beautiful
brown shades. Some of these have at
the sides two large conventional quilts,
which are ornamented with designs in
rat tail, but softer styles of treatment
such as draping with printed scarfs
are also shown.
Panama hats have charms that In
sure their long continuance in the land
so long as the climate remains as it
is, for they seem to exhale the spirit
of relaxation and peace that make
summer enjoyable. This year for their
summer there are new hand-painted
India scarfs that are beautifully deli
cate in tone, besides an endless varie
~ of lovely printed fabrics.

with pockets this capacious work
stand answers the requirements of
large mending supplies. When empty
it can be closed and placed fat in a
corner.
From Paris comes the doll dressed
in glistening silk and trimmed with
the usual attention to detail that is
characteristic Of the French.
A round cardboard bottom is COW
cred with silk and straight piece
serves as the foundation of the full
skirt, which is gathered over a ribbon,
as usual. The head and body of the
French doll are separate, with a rib
bon running through vertically and at
tached to the center of the round bot
tom. This ribbon is long, and when
the workbag is in use, is placed with
the doll at one side.
In this little figures hand is tiny
bag to hold the thimble, just as a lit
tie surprise, you know.
Made from the hatbox is the round
form. Cover a stout pasteboard box
with lowered chintz and bind at the
edge with linen tape. A strip of ma
terial can then be adjusted inside to
afford pocket room. The inner sur
face, by the way, should be covered
also. Fine chintz or poplin can be
pasted over the cardboard, and will
last for years.
The top of the hatbox must be treat
ed in the same way and by means of
tape or ribbon held over the box to
prevent dust.
From boxes of various sizes a chest
of drawers can be made that will keep
buttons, thread, tape, etc., in their re-
spective groups. When covered with
silk or cotton fabric and bound with
gilt galloon, there is a combination
that looks well in a room for your
guest, especially if it harmonic with
the general scheme of decoration.
If the gift for a friend be a dis
turbing thought, remember that the
majority of women sew and that a
workbag little out of the ordinary
is always acceptable. When made by
the giver it is doubly SO.

failed to succeed as they succeeding owe that
failure to the fact that they did not have the
money to do as much for their groves.
Some land companies doing business in west

not to include In his estimate Of expenses the

Mr. H C. Henricksen, secretary of the Cuban

Florida and Porto Rico would predict an abun-

whether the owner is able to afford proper treat

can citrus-fruit growers consume large quantities
of canned condensed milk, at high prices, as we'll
as large amounts of canned meats and vegetables,
despite the fact that some good pasturage exists,
while still more could doubtless be planted, and
the further fact that fine vegetables in remark

where corn at least can be grown and large herds

In central, but most particularly in eastern

groves in lands admirably adapted to sugar cane,
which is a quick certain and profitable crop sold

there is mill near enough to buy up the cane.
