Miss Leslie caught Winthropes eye.
He turned on his heel, and led the
way for her through the first thicket
| Beyond this they came to little glade
which ran through to the river. When
they reached the bank, they stepped
cautiously down the muddy slope, and
AS Miss Leslie rose, Winthrope bent
over and began to drink.

claimed; "please don't! In your weak
condition, I'm so afraid"

"My dear Miss Genevieve," he OBJ
served, "a woman looks at these mat

are some things a gentleman canno

81 hope sol" she murmured; but he
heart sank as she glanced at his sal
low face. and she recalled his languid
feeble movements.
Piqued by her look, Winthropt
started back through the glade. Mis-
Leslie was turning to follow, wheI
she caught sight of gorgeous Grim
son blossom under the nearest tree. 1
was the first flower she had seen sine,
| being shipwrecked. She uttered . III

tie cry of delight, and ran to pluck the
blossom.
Winthrope, glancing about at her
exclamation, saw her stoop over the
fiower-and in the same instant he
saw a huge, vivid coil, all black and
green and yellow, flash up out of the
bedded leaves and strike against the
girl. She staggered back, screaming
with horror, yet seemed unable TO run.
Winthrope swung up his stick, and
dashed across the glade toward her.
what is it-a snake?" he cried.
The girl did not seem to hear him.
She had ceased screaming, and stood
rigid with fright, glaring down at the
ground before her. In moment Win
thrope was near enough to make out
the brilliant glistening body, now eX-
tended full length in the grass. 1t was
rearly five feet long and thick as his
thigh. Another step, and he saw the
hideous triangular head, lifted few
inches on the thick neck. The cold
eyes were fixed upon the girl in a
malignant, deadly stare.
Snake! snake!" he yelled, and
thrust his cane at the reptiles tail.
Again came a flashing leap of the
| beautiful ornate coil, and the stick
was struck from Winthrope's hand.
He danced backward, wild with ex-
element.
"Snake!-Hi, Blake! monster.-
Run, Miss Leslie! I'll hold hin-I'H
get another stick"
He darted aside to catch up a
branch, and then ran in and struck
boldly at the adder, which reared
Kissing to meet him. But the blow
fell short, and the rotten wood shat
tered on the ground. Again Win
thrope ran aside for a stick. There
was none near, and as he paused tc
glance about, Blake came sprinting
down the glade.
"Where?" he shouted.
"There-Hii look out! You'll be or
him."
Blake stopped short, barely beyond
striking distance of the kissing rep
tile.
"Wow!" he yelled. Puff adder!
I'll fix him"
He leaped back, and thrust his bow
at the snake. The challenge was me
by a vicious lunge. Even where he
stood Winthrope heard the thud of the
reptiles head upon the ground.
''Now, once more, tootsie!" Knocked
Blake, swinging up his club.
Again the adder struck at the bow
tip, more viciously than before. Witt
the flash of the stroke, Blake's righ
foot thrust forward, and his clul
came down with all the drive of hi:

with horror.

"You're slow Grab a bunch of leaves

Winthrope neither gathered any
leaves nor hurried himself, until he
was visited by highly irritated bee.
Then he obeyed with alacrity. Blake
was far too intent on other matters
tc heed the Englishman. Leaping in
and out of the thick of the smoke, he
pounded the ant-hill with his club, un-
til he had broken a gaping hole into
the cavity. The smoke, pouring into
the hive, made short work of the bees
