on the bank opposite they stopped and
hallooed. Almost instantly three figures
rushed from the interior Of tlge island to the
shore before them-two men and a woman.

my daughter MY daughter !"
Norris and Foster hastened through the
river and brought the two men to the
island Barbara Harding threw herself into
her fathers arms. A moment later she had
grasped Mallory's outstretched hands and
then she looked beyond them for another.
"Mr. Byrne?' she asked Where Is Mr..
Byrne?"
HE ls dead" said Anthony Harding.
The girl looked at her father for fun
minute, wide-eyed and uncomprehending.
Dead ~ she moaned then, and fell un-
conscious at his feet.

the falntest suspicion of noise. He handed
one to each OF his companions, cautioning
them to silence with gesture.
But neither Anthony Harding nor Billy
Mallory had had second-story experience.
The former struck his weapon accidentally
against the doorframe with resounding
clatter that brought half the inmates Of
the room, wide-eyed, to sitting postures
The sight that met the natives eyes had
them on their feet, yelling like madmen and
dashng toward their escaping prisoners In

Down the village street the three men
ran, but the shouts of the natives had
brought armed Samurai to every door with
celerity that was uncanny In another
moment the fugitives found themselves sur
rounded by q pack of howiInE warriors, who
cut at them with longswords from every
side, blocking their retreat and hemming
them in in every direction
Byrne called to his companions to close
in, back to back; and thus, the gangster
in advance. the three slowly fought their
way toward the end of the narrow street
and the jungle beyond The mucker fought
with his longsword in one hand and The
riere's revolver in the other-hewing way
toward freedom for the two men who he
knew would take his love from him.
out of the village street they came at
last into the clearing. The warriors danced
about them, yelling threats and taunts the
while they made occasional dashes to close
quarters that they might deliver swift
sword cut and retreat again before the
great white devil could get them with the
sword that had been Oda YorimotOs, or the
strange hrestick that spoke in such terri
flying voice.
Fifty feet from the jungle Mallory went
down with n spear through the calf of his
leg. Byrne saw him fall, and. dropping
back, lifted the man to his feet, supporting
him with one arm as the two backed slowly
in front of the on-pressng natives.
The spears were flying thick and fast
now, for the Samurai all were upon the
same side of the enemy, and there was no
danger OF injuring one OF their own number
with their flying weapons. as there had been
when the host entirely surrounded the three
men. When the whites at last entered the
tall grasses OF the jungle perfect shower
OF spears followed them.
For some reasons the Samurai failed to
follow them at once into their shelter Pos
sibly they feared an ambush.

ID mttently for half an hour after the two
men had left him. Then he fired several
shots in quick succession, and. dragging
himself to his hands and knees, crawled la
boriously and painfully back into the Jungle

die in peace.

The pain OF his wounds after the fell

He knew that he was dying, and then all
went black

shone through the ragged hole that his fall

Occasionally he wondered why he was

to die and leave Barbara free?
But life is sweet. and the red blood still
flowed strongly in the veins of the mucker.

BILLY BUMPUS' GREAT SCHEME
RY Farmer Smith


The bees were all quiet again in Goat
willie and the Goats were were able to walk
around in peace,
Billy Bumpus called together a few Of
his friends TO suggest another means of
going after "the enemy" as he called them
No one quite knew who the enemy was
except Billy himself
After they were all seated, Billy arose
and said, Nov that we are here 1t seems
to me it would be a good idea TO adopt
some means Of defense as we'll as ofrense"
What kind OF a fence is a defense ?"
asked Jeremiah Goat
When we go after the enemy. we are
on the offensive and when they come after
US we are on the defensive" explained
Billy.
II don't like either Of those fences, +"
jeremiah said
II propose that we surround GoatyiIle
with fly paper, so that the enemy may be
stopped before they get near US" Billy was
very proud Of his idea.
Great !" exclaimed jeremiah poking
Teddy Goat In the ribs. But who's going
TO supply the fly paper?"
''Why-why-of course, as I am heading
the expedition will have to stand the ex-
penss of the fly paper" Billy had not
thought Of the expense.
Very good" said jeremiah, we win be
at your house tomorrow night and you have
the fly paper ready"
The meeting then broke up.

They were not there, and on silent Feet
that disturbed not even the lightly slumber-
ing ours the man passed out by the front
entrance into the street beyond.
Through a second and third hut he made
his precarious way.
In the fourth man stirred as Byrne
stood on the opposite side Of the room from
the door.
The front room revealed no clue TO the
missing men. Within the smaller rear
room Byrne heard the subdued hum of
whispered conversation just as he was
about to open the door. Like a craven
image he stood in silence, his ear glued
to the frail door For a moment he listened
thus, and then his heart gave a throb of
exultation, and he could have shouted
aloud in thankgiving--the men inside were
conversing in English.
Quietly Byrne pushed open the door far
enough to admit his body. The whispering
ceased Immediately.
Byrne closed the door behind him, ad.
vancing until he felt one of the occupants
Of the room,
The man shrank from his touch.

the man in low tone "They've come for

"Yes. For Gods sake, who are you and

surprised Mr. Harding

the cords that he knew must bind the
captive.
He found them presently and with his
jackknife cut them asunder; then he re-
leased Mallory.

The men did as he bade, and a moment
later he was leading them across the room

CHAPTER XVII


THROUGH the balance Of the day and
i all during the long night Billy Byrne
swung along his lonely way, retracing the
familiar steps of the journey that had
brought Barbara Harding and himself to
the little island in the turbulent river.
Just before dawn he came to the edge
of the clearing behind the dwelling of the
late Oda Yorimoto, Somewhere within the
silent village he was sure that the two
prisoners lay.
During the long march he had thrashed
over again and again all that the success
Of his rash venture would mean to him.
OF those who might conceivably stand be-
tween him and the woman he lOved-the
woman who had just acknowledged that
she loved him-these two men were the
most to be feared.
But the depth OF the mans love for the
girl and the genuineness Of his new-found
character were proven beyond question by
the relentless severity with which he put
away every thought of himself and the
consequences to him in the matter he had
undertaken.
For moment he stood looking Mt the
moon.bathed village, listening for any sign
of wakefulness or life then, with all the
stealth of an Indian and with the trained
wariness of the thief that he had been, the
mucker skunk nOiselessly across the clearing
TO the shadows OF the nearest hut
He listened beneath the window through
which he and Barbara and Therere had
made their escape a few weeks before
There was no sound from within. Cautious
ly he raised himself to the sill and mo-
ment later dropped into the inky darkness
of the interior,
with cropping hands he felt about the
room. II was unoccupled. Then he passed
to the door at the far end; he opened 1t
until a narrow crack gave him view of
the dmly lighted chamber beyond. Within
all seemed asleep.
The mucker pushed the door still further
omen and stepped inside-so must he search
every hut in tho village until he had found
those he sought.
