repeated Man." to herself and re-

over again she said the word until
by and by he could say it, too.
The baby begins his language with
monosyllabic sounds which mean lit
tie and yet which have been identified
with the mother. 1t was fitting that
this man who was as a child and yet
as man should begin with something
deeper than infantile babble.
Man and woman!-she drove these
two ideas into his consciousness be-
fore she ceased her task. If his idea
of man was at first infinite, she gave
him the concept of limitations imme-
diately following.
He was avid for instruction. Once
he had learned the words, he babbled

While she washed her face and

fancy strokes in which she had been
taught, but brilliantly and we'll, never
theless. She would have given the
world for a dip, but it was not to be,
not yet, that is.
Then they breakfasted and she tried
to teach him "No" and "Yes" and the
meaning thereof. She intended to make
circuit of the island later, but there
was no hurry. She began to realize
that time was nothing to her or to

CHAPTER III.
Tho Word of the Book.


This awakening was not as had been
that of yesterday. She prided herself
on being in full possession of her fac
ulties at once and she arose instantly
and stepped out upon the sand. The
man gave way to her respectfully as
she passed through the entrance The

differentiated him from the rest of Gre

that his was a divided empire by de-
claring herself woman. She laid her
hand upon her own breast and said

then? So long as his mind slept, his
soul slept, his consciousness slept, she
was safe, but when they, too, awak-
ened, when whatsoever light there
might be that dawns in personality
dispelled the night of idle dreams in
which he lived, what would happen
then?
Instinctively she shrank from the
thought of the future. She was as one
who had potent talisman in her hand
and feared to put it to the touch. So
the fisherman in the Arabian tale, if
he had known the contents of the
corked bottle thrown up from the sea,
might have hesitated ere he drew the
stopper and released the prisoned
spirit. She must watch, she must
wait, she must be on her guard. She
forgot that when she had called him
Man" and laid her hand upon his
shoulder she had begun an evolution
which no human power could stop.
Never had the hours seemed so long
and so strange to her. Nothing hap
pened. Even the capacity to think
gives out in the strongest mind, the
acutest brain, temporarily or other
wise, She was very tired; the silence
was oppressive; the rusty scissors fell
from her hand and at last she slipped
down upon the sand and drifted away
into that slumber. that suspension Of
consciousness in which for the mo-
ment she was even as the man.
The upper edge of the sun was just
springing from the sea when it's level
rays woke her She opened her eyes
to find the man standing in the open

and examined 1t on all sides. There
were initials upon it, monogram. She
rubbed it clean with her hands and
studied it carefully-"J. R. c." The
book and the box had belonged to the
same person, John Revell Charnock.
She laid the box aside and searched
the cave further. There was abso-
lutely nothing else to be seen. Disap-
pointed vaguely although she had ex-
pected nothing and had gotten more,
indeed, than she might have imagined
if she had thought about it, she laid
the book anC box down upon the ledge
and went out again. She walked along
the sands until she came to the place
where she had landed the day be-
fore. The tide was low. She could
see the wreck of he.~ boat, partly on
the barrier reef ano partly in the
water. 1t would have been no trick
for her to swim to it in the Stiffness,
yet she hesitated to attempt it. Ger
tainly weighted down by all her cloth
ing it was a matter of difficulty and
inconvenience. If it were not for this
man by her side! She tried to think
of some way to restrain him, keep him
away, but nothing occurred to her. IN
vention was paralyZed by the situation
in which she found herself.
Desperately bidding him stay where
he was, she went back to the cave.
She was face to face with a crisis
which had to be met. Indeed, the
question of clothes was becoming a
very serious one with her and she
knew she should have to decide upon
some course Of action Immediately.
For the present, she took off her gar.
ments, hoping and praying in shiver
of dread and anxiety, that he would
remain where she had left him, which
indeed proved the fact. She laid aside
all that she had worn except the
blouse and skirt, including her sadly
worn shoes and stockings. Thus light
ly clad she came out cu the sand again.
He did not notice any change in her
condition. AS a matter of fact she
gave him no time, for she flashed
across the sand at full speed and
plunged boldly into the smiling water
of the lagoon. He followed her in
stantly and swan by her side with
scarcely any exertion whatever.

Below the shelf, not quite buried in
the sand, there was a small metal box.

easily in her hand. She opened it not

On one occasion, when Verdi was

sadness and pathos to express the
grief Of the prisoner, Manrico.
