swung almost within his reach now,
and its lower end touched the surface
of the water.
'.The twisted vine," he decided at
last, and, tossing aside his hat, he
pulled or heavy gauntlets, SAY that his
leather puttees covered every exposed
portion Of his lower limbs and took
hold of the twisted vine.
Els Indians gathered around the tree
with the eager curiosity Of children in
the performance Of his difficult feat.
As he pulled himself up by the strength
Of his massive arms and shoulders his
legs and feet were twined about the
thick vine.
Suddenly the Indians uttered shrill
cries of alarm and disappeared In the
jungle.
Goodell, glancing down, saw nothing
to brighten them, and, noting that h,s
specimens were safe, went stolidly up
on his perlious climb; the vine swayed
now and then under his weight, but
its upper tendrils appeared to be firmly
fastened to the tree trunk, while its
roots were strongly i%ntrenched in the
river bottom.
Goodell did not know when he felt
a change in the character Of the vine
up which be was climbing with the
orchids ever growing nearer to his
eager touch.
First the twisted vine had been
slightly rough, but its bark appeared
b be smooth now, sometimes almost
slippery to the touch, and once GoOdell
would have sworn that it moved. But
It was cold and clammy. Once his face
touched 1t, and he drew back with q

THE TWISTED
VINE
A Story of the
Orinoco
BY CLARISSA MACKlH

It was very quiet In that jungle
along the upper reaches Of the Orinoco
river.
Charles Goodell, orchid hunter for 4
rich Philadelphia collector, stood on
the high bank of the river and looked
longingly up at the cluster Of mauve
orchids clinging to the top Of a rotted
tree trunk that overhung the river. It
was a lofty tree, and, bowed with dis
ease and age. it bent its head, decked
with the delicate butterfly blossoms,
over the slothful river that it would
bridge when it crashed down in the
hurricane
Goodell's Carib Indians had refused
to climb the tree and were now squat
ting sullenly around a little fire on
which a bird was cooking.
The mauve orchids tempted Goodell
beyond discretion. He decided to
mount the tree and ecure them him
self, although he knew the risk he ran
in doing so.
If the tree should fall under his
weight he would be flung into the
river, a prey to the vicious alligators
or the venomous snakes that abounded.
But the securing Of this particular
specimen would not only be a triumph,
but it meant a liberal sum of money
added to the store he was saving up
for a home and the girl he expected to
make his wife on his return.
He had examined the orchid through
his fieldglasses, and he was convinced
that it was the long lost specimen that
Mr.. Clay, his employer, had offered
$4,000 for. There were the delicate
mauve outer leaves with the hearts Of
flaming crimson and orange. with mar
velous stripings Of black.
There were two ways Of reaching the
mauve orchids. One was to climb the
tree trunk with the risk Of weighing
It down to destruction when he reach
ed the upper part. This way was him
dered by a tangle of great vines that
