CHAPTER v.
Fever and Fear

l
BY nightfall Winthrope was
tossing and grooming on the bed
of leaves which Miss Leslie had
heaped beneath his canopy.
Blake shook his head when he
learned that the attack had not
been preceded by chill.
Guess he's in for a hot time,
he said. There is more'n one
kind of malarial fever. Some are
a whole lot like typhus."
Then you think he will be
very ill?"
well, | guess he'll think so. 1t
ought to run out in a week or ten
days, though. Now you tumble
in and get a good sleep. I'll go
on as night nurse"
In the morning Miss Leslie
found that Blake had built a sub
stantial canopy over the invalid,
In place of the first ramshackle
structure.
ITS best for him to be out In
the air." he explained; 80 l fix
ed this up to keep off the dew.
But whenever 1t rains, We'll have
to tote him inside"
"Ah, yes; to be sure. How Is
he?" murmured the girl.
He's about the same this
morning. But he got a little
sleep. Keep him dosed with all
the hot broth he'll take. And
say, roust me out at noon. I've
had my breakfast. Now I'll have
a snooze. So long."
He nodded, and crawled under
the shade of the nearest bush, too
drowsy to observe her look Of
dismay.
At noon. having learned that
Winthrope's condition showed lit
tie change. Blake ate a hearty
meal, and at once set off down
the cleft. He did not reappear
until nightfall; though at inter-
walls Miss Leslie had heard his
step as he came up the ravine
with his loads of thornbrush, of
which he was making a barricade
near the foot of the trail.
This course of action became
the routine for the following ten
days. 1t was broken only by
three incidents, all relating to
the important matter of food sup
ply. Winthrope had soon tired
of broth, and showed such an in
satiable craving for cocoanut
milk that the stock on hand had
become exhausted within the
week.
The day after, Blake went off
toward the north end of the cleft.
When he returned he carried a
heavy load of cocoanuts.
They all drank freely of the
cocoanut milk, and the next day
Winthrope's fever turned.
At first Winthrope had been
too weak to sit up. But treated
to a liberal diet of broth, raw
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-08-16

eggs, hot water, and cocoanut
milk, he gained strength faster
than Blake had expected. On the
fourth day Blake ordered him to
go for eggs.
Much to Miss Leslie's surprise,
Winthrope started off without a
word of protest. All his. peevish
irritability and childishness had
gone with the fever, and the girl
was gratified to see the quiet
manner In which he set about a
task which seemed an imposition
upon his half-regained strength.
But the very motive which, seem=
ingly, prevented him from pro-
testing, impelled her to speak for
him.
"Mr. Blake!" she exclaimed,
"Mr. WINTHROP is going off with
out a word; but | can't endure 1t!
You have no right to send him on
such an errand. 1t will kill HIM"
Blake met her indignant look
with a sober stare.
What IL it does?" he said.
Better for him to die in the gal
liant service of his fellows, than
to sit here and rot. Eth, VIM"
DO not trouble yourself, Miss
Genevieve. l hope | shall pull
through all right. II not"
No, you shall not! I'll go my
self"
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-08-16

s'See here, Miss Leslie" said
Blake. somewhat sternly; who's
got the responsibility of keeping
you two alive for the next month
or so? I've been in the tropics
before, and / know something of
the way people have to live to get
out again. I'm trying to do my,
best, and I tell you straight, il
you won't mind me. I'm going to
make you, no matter how much II,
hurts your feelings. You see how
nice and meek Win takes his or
ders. explained matters to
him last night"
II assure you, Blake, you shall
have no cause for complaint as
to my conduct" muttered Win
thrope. II should like to OBJ
serve, however, that In speaking
to Miss Leslie"
There you are again, witty
your everlasting talk. Cut it
out, and get busy. Tomorrow We
all go on hike to the river"
AS WINTHROP started off,
Blake turned to Miss Leslie, with
a good-natured grin.
You see, it's this way, Miss
Jenny" he began. lie caught
her look of disdain, and his face
darkened. Mad, eh? So that's
the racket"
' "Mr. Blake, | will not have you
talk to. me in that way. Mr.. Win
thrope is a gentleman, but moth
ing more to me than friend
such as any young woman"
THAT settles it! I'll take your
word for it, Miss Jenny" broke
in Blake. and springing up, he
set about his work, whistling.
The girl gazed at his broad
back and erect head, uncertain
whether she should feel relieved
or anxious. The more she
thought the matter over, the more
uncertain she became, and the
more she wondered at her uncer-
tainty.

ton"
you have, have your" growl-
ed Blake, his patience suddenly
coming to and end. well, let
me tell you, you'll go, If l have
to kick you every STEP"
Winthrope cringed back. and
broke into childish whine,
"Don't-don't do it, Blake-Oh,
| say, Miss Genevieve, how can
you stand by and see him abuse
me like this?"
Blake was grinning as he turn
ed to Miss Leslie. Her face was
flushed and downcast with humil-
iation for her friend. 1t seemed
incredible that man of his
breeding should betray such
weakness. A quick change came
over Blake's face.
Look here he muttered, 81
guess I'm enough of sport to
know something about fair play.
Wins coming down with the
fever, and's no more to blame for
doing the baby act than he'll be
when he gets the delirium, and
gables"
II will thank you to attend to
your own affairs" said Win
thrope.
You're entirely welcome. It's
what l am doing. Do you under
stand, Miss jenny"
Indeed, yes; and | wish to
thank you. | have noticed how
patient you have been"
Pardon me, Miss Leslie" rasp-
ed Winthrope. Can you not see
that for a fellow of this class to
talk of fair play and patience Is
the height of impertinence? In
England, now. such insufferable
impudence-"
"That'll do" broke in Blake.
ITS time for us to trot along"
But. Mr.. Blake, if he is ILL"
Just the reason why he should
keep moving. No more of your
CAB, Win! Give your jaw a lay
off and try wiggling your left in
| stead"
Winthrope turned away, GRIM
son with Indignation. Blake paus-
ed only for a parting word with
Miss Leslie. "If you want some
thing to do. Miss Jenny, try MAX
ing yourself a pair of moccasins
out ofthe scraps of skin. You
can't stay In this gully all the
time. You've got to tramp around
slime. and those slippers must be
about done for"
They are still serviceable. Yet
If you think"
, You'll need good tough moe
casins soon enough. SINCE off
the hair, and make soles of the
thicker pieces. II you do a fair
job. maybe I'll employ you as my
cobbler, soon as l get the hide off
one Of those skittish antelope"
Miss Leslie nodded and smiled
In response to his testing tone.
