Alone With the Peril.

YUST as Laveile paused at the foot
of the hin and waved his hand
Rowgowskii looked up from where
he was cutting turf on the east
srn slope. Unconsciously his hand went
to his fiattened nose. 1t was an action
which invariably had come to accom-
pany any glance which had Lavelle
for its objective. = &.s--...
Emily was hidden from his view, but
the Russian could imagine her stand
ing up there on the crest answering La
veile's signal. He knew well, too, the
light there must be in her eyes. He
had surprised IT there many times in
the preceding three or four days, even
as she had starteo the animal lust in
his.
Rowgowskii dropped the piece of
metal which he was uging for a cut

planned to repair the damage done by
the, boulder. His gaze followed the
two men crossing the meadow until
he saw Chang stop suddenly and look
back. He started as II the Chinaman
had the power of reading his thoughts.
A guilty conscience is ever the quick
prey of an honest eye.
With much show Of industry he
picked up his cutter and resumed the
stripping of turf. This activity lasted
but a minute. Then his gaze wan
dered around the empty sea only to
return to the. two. men below.
In the second that the Russia's S
eyes picked them up again a menacing
oscillation passed through the earth
and brought him in terror off his
knees He saw the Chinaman pitch
headIong out of sight. The next sec

The palm tree remained the single
object in the meadow.
Rowgowskii hesitated a moment

Rwgowski's Attack.

~ MILY held Lavelle and Chang in

to the tree, and the Chinaman
halted and looked back. 1t was
as il the giant had flashed a message
to her. Her heart gave a throb Of
apprehension. Her breath caught in
her throat Her limbs trembied., She
realized that she was alone on the
hill with Rowsowskii. Only her owr
soul knew her repuguance of this
man, which had grown with the
hours since they had come TO the
island.
Even as her mind bore the thought
Emily became ashamed of her trepi-
dation and self-consciousness. 1t was
unworthy of the kind Of woman that
Lavelle's fearlessness Of soul and
fortitude made her desire to be.
Mortified and with a flush mount
ing her cheeks at what she consider
ed ner mean selishness, she turned
from the meadow and the stretch of
ocean southwark. She walked across
the hilltop. North. east, and west her
gaze met an empty blue expanse of
water. The hill oscillated and she
swayed with it-s unconscious Of the
motion. Her attention was held by

Emily was silent. Her gaze darted
away from her torturer and around the
sea. 1t came to rest for the smallest
part of a second on the western edge of
the hill. Determination was born of the
thought which the glance suggested.
Here was means of escape.
The cliff was perhaps 100 feet from
where she stood. If she could only get
over there a. step would carry her into
the presence of her God unashamed.
Her purpose was formed. There was
nothing left for which she cared to live.
The campfire was between her and her
goal, but she needed II not.

movement of the glorious figure OF

retreated a step. .. 3 ...s.-
