CHAPTER LxiII.
The Edue of the World.


Hernandez crouched behind one Of
the huge earthen jars. The light that
streamed in at the caves mouth dark
ened suddenly, and huge figure crept
In. At first Hernandez thought this
was the pirate chief-but that fierce
fighter was lying far across the pit
with a bullet through his head. The
figure crept on farther-then Her
nandez saw.
1t was Ilington. Ilington was I'm,
armed-his face was blood covered.
He was a figure fearful to behold.
Hernandez climbed the ladder in fear
full haste. Ilington saw him and fol-
lowed, caught him, tore from him Her
nandez' ever ready knife, and faced
him squarely.
II swore to tear you apart with my
hands," cried Ilington beside himself
with rage, land I'm going to do it."
F. 1.-TWO can play at that" painted Her
nandez, come on"
Ilington came on-reckless of the
fact that he was fighting on the edge
Of a precipice.
Far to the rear Annette plucked
Meals wrist.
'Look-look," she cried, Hernandez
and my father-and the Portuguese
has knife"
She was not the only watcher. Be-
low on shore fresh boatload of ma
rines were landing. They had seen
the fight-they watched it now. Their
officer peered through his glasses.
Our friend the Portuguese" he
said, we've got to get him and take
him back. The world needs one Her
nandez less"
Even as he spoke, Hernandez struck
with his knife and ripped open ling
tons arm.
With wild cry the fresh marines
scrambled up the cliff Hernandez,
cool with GOODNESS OF desperation, side
stepped, and lifting one foot, neatly
t11pped mis- man.
Ilington fell heavily, with one arm
hanging over the precipice.
And then Hernandez looked-for the
first time he took note of his surround
ings.
Behind him ranged Neal and his
squad, with fixed, bayonets and with
death shining in their eyes. Below,
scrambling up the cliff were twenty
men, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Hernandez paused-his eyes mar
rowed. He was beaten and he knew
it.
Hernandez rose to his full height
Sorry gentlemen" he said, "but
you've never beat me yet and you can
not beat me now
He retreated a pace or two, gave
a sudden run-and leaped far out over
the edge Of the precipice.
Neal formed his men in 1ine-they
were joined by the squad that climbed
the cliff.
forward, march," said Neal. An
nette and her father followed them.
Inside of fifteen minutes the little
squad were scurrying about the inside
Of the cave. They were plunging
their hands into the liquid metal and
letting it run through their fingers
Some little island, this" they COM
mented.
ut took you boys to get it for u.s."
returned Ilington, without you, Loes
Island would have been lost forever,
and so would we.'
He turned to Annette, Annette" ks
said, this is yours-all yours. Yon
are princess-this is your kingdom"
He stretched wide his arms to include
all Lost Island. Your kingdom" h9
repeated.
Annette looked at Neal. Meal
loked at Annette-then he rushed for
ward and caught her in his arms.
Annette glanced at the boys in lz1ss
"And this-my king" she said.

From E. P. RemIey.

We are in receipt of letter iron. E. r. Remley. president of the Southeast Arkansas Baseball League, written while he and Mrs Remley were at Salt Lake City, where they spent part of their vacation AS it Is Co he expected of really. truly" baseball fans they have been taking in some of the Pacific Coast League games We find MT. Remley's account so interesting that we are sharing the following para graphs with our readers:
 "l am sending you today copy of the Salt Lake paper giving account of some of the Pacific Coast League ball games l am sure the Ford and Kinney tami- lies will he interested in this League as you have visited and are familiar with mos; of the cities composing 1t Los Angeles. Vernon, san Francisco, Salt Lake, Portland and Oakland Vernon is the smallest city in the League but stands second. Los Angeles Is at the top.
 The players are made up principally from Detroit, Boston, Atlanta and St. Louis. The officials of the clubs are some of the most wealthy and rntluenti- al men of the west and they take great interest in the game.
 Every possible precaution has been adopted by the Clubs for the safety and comfort of the patrons. The stands are equipped with all modern improve ments and facilities for the patrons and players, Earnest, intelligent ef- fort is required of the players. In civiltv or misconduct on the part of the players or employees Is not allowed. and roasting umpires is not ln the game
 We saw the game yesterday Vernon vs. Salt Lake It was ragged game. due to errors. but to a man from South east Arkansas surrounded by unusual comforts seated in an opera char, in a climate neither hot nor cold. it was enjoyable Some fast playing. but as a whole Southeast Arkansas Is just as good. and am sure some Of aar boys could make the Coast League
