CHAPTER x.
Wreckage and Salvage.

All the wood in the cleft was
sodden from the fierce downpour
that had accompanied the cyclone ;
everything without the cave had
been either blown away or heaped
with broken boughs and mud
spattered rubbish.
Not being able to find dry fuel,
the girl gathered a quantity OF
the least sodden Of the twigs and
branches, and spread them out on
ledge in the clear sunshine.
While her firewood was drying,
she then began search for lost
articles. When she dug out the
pottery ware, she found her fav-
orite stew pot and one of the
platters in fragments. The dry
ing-frames for the meat had been
blown away.

But when a man must needs be

he must take the consequences. TIC
put 1t as delicately as possible, yet
explain all, need only say one
word-paranoia."
Miss Leslie gathered up her
days outfit with trembling fin
gers and went to mount the cliff
She spent the day. as usual, on the
headland. There was no wind.
and the sun was scorching hot
There was not a breath of air
stirring. Steadily, however, the
swell grew heavier Yet the girl,
inland bred, and IMMERSED in
water lore, sat needless and in
different.
Her reverie was at last disturb
ed by the peculiar behavior of the
Isea-fowl. There was a shriller note
than usual in their discordant
clamor.
Yet, even when she gave heed
to the birds, the girl failed to real
ize their alarm or to sense the inn
pending danger. She sighed, and
rose to return to the cleft, idly
wondering that the air should
seem more sultry than at midday.
Neither WINTHROP nor Blake
was In sight when she reached the
camp, and neither appeared,
though she delayed supper until
dark. At last, tired of waiting,
she covered the fire and retired
to her cave. The air was Sitting.
She paused, with her hand up
raised, to close the swinging door,
She had propped it open when
she came out in the morning.
After a moments hesitation she
went on, leaving the door wide
open.
81 will rest a little and close
1t later" she sighed.
An hour passed. Something
moved in a bush a little way
down the cleft. A crouching fig
ure appeared. dimly outlined in
the darkness.
A binding flash of light pierced
the blackness. The figure halted
and crouched lower, though the
flash had gone again in fraction
of a second. A second flash light
ed the cleft with its dazzling cor
ruscation. This time the creep
ing figure did not halt.
Again and again the forked
lightning streaked across the sky.
The rumble of the distant thun-
der deepened to a heavy rolling
which dominated the dull road of
the breakers. The storm was
coming with the onrush of tor
nado.
The lightning flared, one stroke
upon the other, with brilliancy
that lit up the caves interior
brighter than at midday.
In the white glare the girl saw.
WINTHROP, crouched beneath her
unswung door; and his face was
as the face of beast.
