Jim Bennett sat on the sand of
Tan-tan island and looked out across
the sea, as he had done each day for
more than a year. Everybody in Tan
tan knew Jim Bennett, and the ragged
est beachcomber sneered when his
name was mentioned. 1t was not so
much the depths to which he had fall
en- as the fact that he had fallen so
far.
Three years ago he had left San
Francisco to make his fortune in the
South seas and come back to marry
Elsie Dale. But her father was many
times a millionaire, and had other
ideas for Elsie's future. Everything
depended, then, on Jim's making good
on the copra trading trip, in which he
had sunk his little capital.
At least, so far as marrying Elsie
was concerned. Her father would
never consent. Jim knew Jack Dale
too well to hope for that. But If the
trip succeeded Jim could afford to bear
the old mans enmity. and Elsie had
said she would.
The ship was wrecked on an un-
charted reef of Tan-tan. Jim saw his
little capital lost. He had barely the
fare home. Despair took hold of him.

years. II at the end OF that time he
