It's a long story, at least three gen.

With bated breath the others

Behind the Island

Bess was up early the next morn

oliver and gold flecked sea that rocked
to the base of the bounding mountain
peaks. To right. to left, behind. be-
fore, rose islands. Bess knew by the
chart that there were many of them,
but where one began and another
ended, she could not see; their out
lines melted indistinguishably into
each other.
To the west lay the island of the
chart, bathed in sunlight and easily
recognizable by Its shape, tall, ap-
parently f1at-topped peak which rose
with amazing steepness out of hump
Of tree-clad rounded hills that sloped
downward gently to twenty or thirty

away abruptly to the sea as If cut by

no beach. the shores rising sheer from

island had any inhabitants at all.
Disappointed, Bess once more

'ected no sign Of life. The broad la.

rains, the hardtack won't get drenched

his load.
The way up the ravine was strcp
but climbable. even for Mrs. Archmah,
who, assisted by Collins, followed Bess
and Lord George, who led the way
Harry and Miss Denslow came last.
About ten minutes climbing brought
them to break in the right-hand wall
OF the cleft. through which something
that might have been considered to
be path led off to the north. No one
paid much attention to 1t. however, as
the red line on the map went straight
upward, past 1t.
Not far beyond this the six reached
the top Of the ravine and came out
on the slope that as seen from the
Ell Rio ran up to the abruptly rising
face of the peak. The trees, however,
were too dense to permit view Of the
bay and the ship. and they went on,
following as well as they could the
bowldery course of the creek, which
seemed to coincide pretty well with
the position indicated by the red line
on the map. Denser and denser grew
the trees, and more and more imper-
ceptible the track, till poor Mrs. Arch
man dropped down despairingly. This

Let's find out" Harry was off,
breaking a way through the under
growth, and after a moments hesita-
tion Collins followed him. An instant
later Harry's voice was heard, calling
excitedly: Come up here, you people,
for the love of Mike! I" he shouted
Bess and Lord George raced off, and
Mrs. Archman followed more slowly,
aided by Miss Denslow. The two
seemed to have taken great fancy
to each other.
Harry was standing on a lump of
rock that shouldered through the leafy
cover of the mountain till 1t stood
almost as high as the tops of the trees
that surrounded it. Behind 1t rose the
peak of the mountain, but before it
stretched a wonderful panorama of
the bay, ringed islands and far
stretching sunlit sea. The long shad-
ows of the land shot eastward over
the waters. Afar, trails of smoke or

ers and sailing ships crossed the seas
Below, close to the island, the Ell
Rio swayed smoothly on the waves
that rolled in from the outer sea. On
her decks tiny, almost imperceptible,
figures came and went. The whole
scene was exquisite, miniature set
In sparkling diamonds. The six
watched 1t almost breathlessly.
Abruptly Collins cried out. He had
his field glasses at his eyes and was
scanning the bay and the Ell Rio.

thrilled the others. Look! Behind
