There was tragedy in the air
inside the cave, too. The prirl-
cess was possessed of the spirit of
the night. Now she danced with
Ned Bellew, nesting close to him,
looking up into his face, inviting
love. Now she danced with Dun
can Nelson, and woed him with
her starry eyes.
Inside the dance grew wilder
and wilder. Outside the storm
rose higher, and ever higher, ur-
til at midnight the roar of the
breakers on the shore had joined
with the uneasy runlblings of the
volcano in a great undertone to
the twanging strings, the hollow
drums of the mad musicians.
'The painted priests of the vol
cano were scattered through the
crowd, lashmg the passions of the
men, urging the women on in the
wild dance that was dedicated to
the Fire God, and should have
been dedicated to the Devil him
self.
"And suddenly, /, who was
watching from the dim back Of
the cave where the priests made
their mysteries, missed Ned Bel
lew and Duncan Nelson. l felt
my heart sink within me. When
two men love as they loved, and
hate as they hated, they leave the
presence of their love for one rea-
son only.
81 went out into the night. The
roar of the wind had risen to a
high, shrieking note. Prayed
black clouds were racing across

let their ship leave without them,
and thereafter danced attendance
upon her.
And she? Now she smiled
upon one, and now upon the
other, and then upon some other
man, some blackbirder or pearl
p6acher Of III repute.
For the first week, BeIlew and
Nelson always were together,
even when calling upon Luka, the
beautiful. But the friendship of
years melted under the strain.
Before three weeks had passed
on Amaiufa, they avoided each
other noticeably, with leprous,
poisonous glanCes, while the
whole island laughed.
$50 things were when the night
of the Fire Gods dance drew
near. You know of that-the
wild, pagan masque of revelry,
the betrothal night of the year,
when license reigns supreme, and
the. priests of the Fire God whip
men into strange passions in the
great cave under the volcano.
Ned Beliew and Duncan Mel
son went to that dance. And the
princess was there. never saw
her look more wickedly lovely.
She was dressed in some stuff as
flrny and wonderful as sunlight.
Her eyes shone like twin stars of
great beauty. And she danced as
the nymphs must dance.
at was a wild night, night
when the heavens themselves,
and the earth beneath our feet,
lent themselves to tragedy.
