Blake, carelessly.
The girl bit her lip. and the tears

had started of without expressing his
appreciation. Yet he at least should
have realized how much it had cost
her to make such an offer.
By evening she had her tree-cave-
house. she preferred to name it TO her
self-in a habitable condition When
the purifying fire had burnt itself out,
leaving the place free from all odors
other than the wholesome smell of
wood smoke. she had asked Blake how
she could rake out the ashes. His
advice was to wet them down where
they lay.
This was easier said than done.

turned to the fire. After some little
experimenting. she contrived a way to
support the rod beside the fire so that
all the meat would roast without burn
ing.
At first. keen as was her hunger,
she turned with disgust from the fab
by sun-seared flesh: but as it began TO
roast. the odor restored her appetite
to full vigor. Her mouth fairly wa
tered. Ii seemed as though WINTHROP
and Blake would never come. She
heard their voices. and took the bam-
boo spit from the fire for the meat to
cool. Still they failed to appear, and,
unable to wait longer. she began to
eat. The cub meat proved far more
tender than that OF the old leopard.

Both men caught at the hot meat

waited 10 fill his mouth before inves-

ANOTHER hitch has occaTed ia the
plan to raise the bat!leship Maine sunk
at Havana barbor 10 1898. Congress
recently appropriated 100000 to raise
tia vessel, bat according to statement
given out yesterday by the War DsPsit'
m snf, 1t may take half million dollars
or more to deiraY the cost OF raising the
wreck. Secretary OF War Dickinson
yesterday called TIE attention of the
II ,use to q letter to him, dated las! Sat
day from Chief Eogineer Marshall, OF
the Srmy, saying the work could not be
done for the 800, 900. nor can the
amount be economically aud effectively
expended ia initial work." General
Marshall said the best plau would be to
build q Golfer dam nd the wreck and
pu mp 1t out, thus permitting the re-
moyal of the bodies aad thorough ex-
animation OF the hull. Secretary Dick
10 zen makes no recommendation. The
Maine will never be raised 80 long as
some msnI now In authority have their
way, for tina reason that 1t might be
shown that the ship was blown up from
the inside.
