"Lucky for me, | have New Britain in

exactly healthy place to stop in"
He forgot, think, the quickness of the
mind he was dealing with. Isola turned
pale as she looked at him.
"Mr. Gore, did you tell me the truth
about those Beyers?' she asked
al did"
"That they had gone home?"
"Yes. Don't you worry about them"
"What-home did you mean?"
"The one you do" said Gore, giving in
to the inevitable. "Now, now! who's 60

who is afraid of nothing? We can't help
them; their troubles are over. We've
ourselves to look after"

Cling against the horror of the situation;
"but-there was a babys little shoe
among the things. Did they"
"Yes, said Gore plainly. "That's
enough. Come here and help Corbet and
me to sort out our provisions"
Gore divided the tent calico, the axes,
the meat and biscuits, carefully load
ing himself with forty pounds of food, and
me with twenty-five. had found few
boxes of cartridges among the things
abandoned in the pantry, and these we
divided between us. Isola, at her earnest
request, was given the three blankets to
carry.
We had worked as rapidly as we could
while we We're talking, and our packs were
ready in few minutes. All that fore
thought could do, in the circumstances,
had been done. 1t remained only to
search for the boat-a forlorn hope in
deed. While Gore went off to look |
stayed with Isola. l think none of us
were surprised when he returned an hour
later with sinister piece of news. The
yawl was beached half mile down, and
burned to ashes.
We were standing on the beach, COM
pleting our preparations. The sun was
going down in the western sky, and the
waters of the bay cool green in the morn
ing, were now one sheet of blazing brass.
We stood and listened, and from far off
came a sound that made my blood crisp
in my veins. 1t was only the call of
cockatoo,-an angry frightened scream,
but | knew, or thought l did, what it
portended. So did Red Bob. He swung
round and led the way into the forest
without another word.
"PAUL!" said soft voice, almost in
my ear.

in the dawn, wrapped in her blanket and
standing close behind me. 1t was my
watch, the last of the night Day was
coming quickly The fire of the evening
before, dead out, looked like snow-drift
of ash beneath it's sheltering log; the pale
bamboo trunks showed like frosted silver.

Red Bob was standing beside me.
"Natives?" he asked in an almost
soundless whisper.
"I think so" answered
We remained motionless for minute or
two, and then the creeping began again.

"Don't fire." whispered Gore. stop
where you are"
He listened again, bent forward like a
wildcat about to spring, and then made
one tremendous leap right into the bush.
A fearful yell followed his leap, and a
struggle instantly began among the
leaves shaking the bamboo clump to the
very top of its timber, hundred-feet-high
stems. l could see black legs waving
among the green, but l did not dare to
fire, for fear might hit Gore-the white
and black seemed inextricably tied to-
gether. Backward, like tarantula drag
ging hornet to it's den, came Red Bob
out of the bush, hauling at something
something that fought hard and howled
loudly, first in native and then in pidgin-
English:
"Master Master you lettem me gol

Gore let go his legs, and he tumbled on
the ground, heap of misery and fright.

laughing. 1t was the first laugh we had
enjoyed for many a day, and l think it

good too, for he sat up, dashed his
bison-like shock of hair out of his eyes,
and said:

TT was growing light. We could see the
shining of the dew on the bamboo stems,
fine as hoar-frost on pane; and the
great flags of the wild bananas glittered
like green velvet robe a-sprinkle with
diamonds. We had camped for the night
in small bit of clearing on the top of a
ridge; and, now that the sun was up, we
could see, through gaps in the netted
foliage, wonderful ocean of softly SWELL
ing ranges, blue and purple and warm
green, thickly forested, like those through
which we had been cutting and crawling
our painful way for whole toilsome week.
The country ahead of us, though"
easier to traverse than that througho'

John, for they claim that shoes

returned from church and saw
the stable door open he tracked
the mule to the public road. He
mounted another mule and with
his gun gave chase. Green was

succeeded in doing in time to
prevent shot from the gun of

The Editor Explains

The Canova, S. D., Herald, was ap-
proached recently by anti-prohibitlon-
lists for advertising rates to present
the "wet" side of the statewide pro
hibition fight in South Dakota The
letter asking for rates stated that the
proposition was clean-cut business I'a
pne[not intended as a subsidy, the
only nurpose being to prove that pro
hibition does not meet the expected
end and will be inexpedient'' The
letter added: "The policy of your

offered this business irrespective OF
whether your paper is for or against

cepted the business on the grounds

friend and foe" said the editor, "and
we don't believe it will hurt the public
to have both sides of the question
presented 1t should enable us to cast
a more intelligent ballot" Thus the
Herald will carry wet" arguments in
its advertising columns and, editorial
ly, will support the dry" cause. Agi-
tation always produces beneficial re-
suits, but suppression Of facts may
cause great harm. The editor of the
Herald is honest in his espousal of
the dry" cause, and, at the same time
he is big enough to allow his oppon-
ents a place in the forum.
