The Cavcrns.


When Kitty Gray awakened to con.
seriousness upon the beach of strange
land whittier she had been carried by
no purpose Of her own, she looked
once more into the face Of peril. The
savages who surrounded her showed
no sign of pity or kindness. Upon the
contrary, whooping and yelling, they
fell upon her and dragged her in spite
Of herself toward their own village.
This village had a ruler of its own,
no doubt chief for that part Of the
country.
He was savage OF peculiarly fierce
and forbidding visage, and Kitty felt
her blood run cold as she faced his
evil gaze. The natives, yelling in
glee, practically cast her at his feet.
Evidently they were giving to Caesar
the things which they thought were
Caesar's-in this case. woman, the
spola opima Of all wars and all con.
quests. The evil face OF the savage
monarch relaxed into q grin which
made Kitty shudder.
What woman was this now brought

beach and into the village which
served as headquarters for that por-
tion of the island Here he was
brought before the chief. From the
look OF him and his subjects, Count
Frederick fancied himself to be on
an island somewhere off the African
coast.
Whether these people were friends
or foes he could not tell at first, for
he understood neither their language
nor their gcsticulations, but 1t oc.
Cured TO him that whichever they
might be 1t would not be amiss for
him to impress them with a feeling

whether or not they were familiar
with the effect of firearms. but re.
called all he had read of the terror
inspired in savage minds by the use
OF such weapons. He drew from his
pocket the pistol which he had car.
ried. and looked about him for some
object at which to aim.
a wild duck was floating in the la.
g0on not far away, and at this Count
Frederick took careful aim, and fired
with the extraordinary good luck to
Kill II outright. This feat brought out
most ludicrous activity amongst the
natives. In CONSERVATION they flung
themselves before him, clasped his
knees, and laid their foreheads upon
the earth even as Man Friday had in
the presence OF Crusoe OF old. Obvi.
ously they were not disposed to curry
favor with him now. and not to attack
him. AS for himself, possessed only
OF such ammunition as remained I'm
his single cartridge clip. he assumed
such an attitude as he fancied would
best display him as a conqueror-al-
though in truth he felt himself far
from such.
They led him through the village to
a place where he was offered food and
water-both now imperatiyely crayed
by his starved body.
Unable to understand what was de-
sired of him, and Indifferent as to the
meaning of the colloquy going on
about him, for some time his interest
In life and Its affairs was so lax that
he paid no attention to anything that
was happening. At length. however.
he noticed something which caused
him to take sudden and eager inter.
est In his surroundings.
Two men came running, evidently
from distant part Of the island and
evidently bearers of news of some i'm
portance, as could be proved by the re-
ception given their hurried story. But
what was that story?
There Is a certain virtue in neces.
s!ty itself. There is certain common

There is perhaps certain unrecog-
nized common denominator in human

and the chief hiInself did not lack
directness in his methods. He gave
sign to his men, and the girl was
dragged away. struggling as best she
might, and flung into hut which she
knew was to serve as a prison.
Here in corner of the dark interior
she covered in terror before the ap-
partitions conjured up by her own
imagination. She had not long to
wait. The chief himself came, little
suspecting the resistance he was to
meet-that Of an enraged and despair
ing woman. So valiant did Kitty prove
herself In repulsing his odious ad-
vances, that he was glad enough to
give her up and make his way back
to his hammock. leaving her to her
own devices.
Outside the hut Kitty could now
hear loud cries, orders, shouts. ex.
clamations. all the sounds Of a crowd
gathering-for what purpose she could
not guess. The meaning of this also
was not long left in doubt for her.
Again the door of her hut was dark
ened, and again the natives intruded
upon her privacy. Forceful hands
dragged her once more before the
chief.
The latter, smiling his hideous pur.
pose OF vengeance, pointed to a pile
OF firewood burning at the brink OF a
deep pit in the ground. He made
signs to Kitty which she could not
fail to understand.
Yes, she saw It now-she was to
suffer the most horrible Of deaths, that
by fire! These people either were
cannibals or fiends. Perhaps they
purposed for her some rite OF horri-
BILE religion.

or gesture. or OF the unspokeI tele.
pathic quality of the mind itself. Count
Frederick understood not one word
OF this language which he heard, yet
he knew-because he must know
something of the subject which these
persons were discussing.
The men had come far-one could
tell that. their looks proved it. They
had seen something strange, some
thing extraordinary had happened,
some event Of interest or Importance
had occurred, else they would not have
come so fast and so far. This was
easy enough to reason out.
What was that event? What could
happen out Of the ordinary on this
desert island, unless it were some
thing coming from beyond the narrow
horizon of that island--say, a ship
wreck, or the landing on these shores
Of some survivor such as he himself
had been?
That would explain these hurried
messengers. But IL that were true,
who or what was the survivor or ad.

OF this same land? Was 1t a man or
men, was 1t woman or women
What was the meaning of these ex-

Count Frederick fancied that these
men were telling about a woman who
like himself had been cast up by the
waves.

trained in logic and analysis, infinitely
superior to the mentality Of these half
brutes about him, served to force It.

trying to tell that they had found a

III so, who was 1t, who could 1t be?
Was 1t she whom he sought? Was fate
merely jesting with him snce more,
or mercifully Intending to teach him
the one truth he cravcd?
The chief himself somewhat con.
firmed Count Frederick's surnlises.
He came now and pointed to one Of
the women of his own tribe. then ap-
preaching Frederick. he pulled up his
sleeve and ran his hand over the

In the Bowels Of the Earth.

Count Frederick and his little band
OF warriors did not at once arrive up
on the solution of the mystery Of the
strange white woman. The childlike
caprice Of the natives led him hither
and thither. to this village and to that;
so that a considerable time had
elapsed before at length he found him
self upon the scene OF the late fateful
happenings, although himself at that
time still ignorant alike Of the occur

was but one more savage village, one
more set Of difficulties, one more

own warriors, and hence for the time
safe, into the presence OF the same
chief who had devoted Kitty Gray 80
