plified in her friendship with the wolf
and later in her coy demeanor toward
the man so strangely sent into her
life.
A child Of perhaps a dozen years is
east upon an island. Five years later
she finds on the beach the figure OF
q man, cast UP by the waves. He had
escaped from a burning yacht. Nina
brings water and fruit to the nearly
dead man, but keeps away from him.
AS he reviyes he discovers footprint,
then he catches glimpse of the girl,
but he is not able to find her. There
is pursuit; there are several, in fact,
when he does locate Nina, but it is
not until she falls exhausted with ter
ror at the sight of volcano in erup-
ton that he reaches her side. Jack
had a wife when ne set sail on the
yacht. She had left the burning craft
on the first boat. As time passes the
man tells Nina they must marry and
a ceremony is peaurmed by the two.
A child comes to Nina. Jack eonfesjes
to the mother OF his little one that he
had been married. When one day he
sees a vessel in the distance, he sig.
nails It. A boat comes ashore and he
goes down on the beach and meets
his wife, who had interested the gov
eminent in her husbands sappear-
ance Nina takes her child and climbs
to the edge Of the crater of the mould
ering volcano. Jack and his wife come
to the cliff to find Nina, but are toe
late to prevent her jumping with her
babe into the depths.
A simple story, IS it not? Yet,
from first to last it holds tight. Nina s
first appearance in the likeness of
Little Mary is where she breaks

beast comes slowly to her. His tail

Nina's discovery of the unconscious

that ensues. Nina runs along the

is always Little Mary that holds our
interest. There are others in the cast,
as there must be, but the sympathy is
with Nina, the half-wild maid. In her
abbreviated garb Of skins she bounds
from rock to rock with the agility of
the chamois, and along the beach she
runs with the lightfooted speed Of a
deer. The hardships of her five years
battle for existence on the island have
converted her into half-sayage With
