where they are"
The words sent Tonnibel forward

"Honest?" she gasped. as 1t honest

Certainly" replied the young man,

get you"
"Where are they? She had come
very near him now, her eyes gazing at
him wistfully. please tell me where

"Never mind just now" said he, his
eyes taking in her slight young figure
passionately. Here, want to kiss
you"
He dragged her forward until her
slender, Quivering body was pressed
against his. He had said he intended
to kiss her. All the rebellion of a
primitive uneducated nature sprang
into life within Tony Devon. The
curly head darted upward for a mo-
ment, and the gray eyes ,blazed into
the muddy blue ones, leering down
upon her. Then, knowing no other
way TO protect herself from desecra-
ton, she set her sharp white teeth
into Reggie's hand, sinking them
deep beneath his skin. A cry Of hurt
rage escaped his lips, and he flung
her from him.
You little VIXEN" he got out, shak-
Ing his hand in panic. you little
wicked brat! There! Now I'll teach
you to bite me again"
He sprang at her, and Tony
screamed twice with all her lung
power. Then something happened
Someone grasped hold of the man
who had snatched her into his arms,
and for what seemed an lnterminable
time two forms struggled together in
the small cabin. For a few seconds
Tony didn't realize who Reggie'S as
sailant was; then with a grip at her
heart she recognized Philips white
face as with terrible strength he
dragged Reggie up the steps.
Into her terrified eyes came one
strange flashing smile of welcome
Her salvation man had saved her. and
as every woman does in cases where
her need is great, she cried out hel
thanksgiving in his name, that best
beloved name of Philip. By this time
the two men were struggling on The
deck, and as If impelled by some un
known force Tony staggered up thu
steps.
1t was just as she reached the tol
that she saw Captain MacCauley, b!
one mighty effort, lift the struggling
figure of the other man and throw hin
into the lake. A sharp ejaculation fel
