CHAPTER x.
Miss Browne Has a vislon

| mlSS BROWNE HaS Vision.
Perhaps because of the secret ex-
element under which l was laboring,
! seemed that evening unusually aware
Of the emotional fluctuations. OF those
about me. Violet looked grimmer
than ever, so that l judged her strug-
giles with her mundane consciousness
to have been exceptionally severe.
captain Magnus seemed even beyond
his wont restless, loose jointed and
wandering-eyed, and performed ex-
traOrdinary featS of sword-swallow-
ing. Mr.. Shaw was very silent. and
his forehead knitted now and then
into reflective frown. AS for myself,
had much ado to hide my abstrac-
ton, and turned cold from head to foot
with alarm when / heard nv own
voice addressing Crusoe as Benny.
faint ripple of surprise passed
round the table.
Named your dog over again.
Miss Jinny" inquired Mr.. Tubbs. Mr..
Tubbs had adopted a facetiously pa
ternal manner toward me. / knew in
anticipation Of the moment when he
would invite me to call him Uncle
Ham.
Il say, you know" expostulated
Cuthbert Vane, II thought Crusoe rath-
er nice name. Never heard of any
chap named Benny that lived on an
island"
l tried to rally from my confusion,
but / knew my cheeks were burning.
Looks of deepening surprise greeted
the scarlet emblems of discontinue
that hung out.
by heck, bet there's Teller at
home named Benny" cackled Mr..
Tubbs shrilly, and for once / blessed
him.
Aunt Jane turned upon him her
round innocent eyes.
"Oh, no, Mr.. Trbbs," she assured
him, Il don't think a single one of
them was named Benny!
The laughter which followed this
gave me time to get myself in hand
again.
''Crusoe 1t is and will be-" assert
ed. 1T happens that girl know at
home has dog named Benny Which
happened fortunately to be true, for
otherwise should have been obliged
to invent It, But the girl is cat.
and the dog a miserable little high
bred something, all shlvers and no
hair. ! should never have thought Of
him in the same breath with CrusOe.
That evening 1ir. Shaw addressed
the gathering at the campfire which
we made small and bright, and then
sat well away from because Of the
heat-and in a few words gave Il as
his opinion that any further search in
the cave under the point was useless
(If he had known the strange confirm
atory echo which this awoke in my
mindD He proposed that the shore
Of the island to reasonable distance
on either side OF tile bay entrance
should be surveyed, with view 10
discover whether some other cave did
not exist which would answer the de-
scription given BY the dying Hopper
down as well as that first explored.
Mr.. Shaw's words were addressed to
the ladies', the organizer and flnancIer,
respectively. Of the expedition, to the
very deliberate exclusion Of Mr.. Tubbs.
But he might as well have made up his
mind to recognize the triumvirate. En-
throned on camp-chalr sat Aunt
