cursing him.
Then he sat down and waited.
Lee must stay awake till nightfall.
He would find some way out of the
gorge. He would cut footsteps in the
granite with a stone-wild and impos-
sible thoughts ran through his mind.
He strobe to and fro beside the river
bank.
Some little distance away Leboeuf
sat watching him. Lees hatred for
that bruised, impassive face was ele-
mental. He flung a stone. The aim
was true; it cut Leboeuf's lip open.
Blood began to drip, but Leboeuf
never stirred.
Lee sat down. He must conserve
his strength-he started up. He had
slept for a moment, and Leboeuf was
creeping ard him. The sun blazed
over the edge of the gorge.
Leboeuf squutted down nearer Lee,
watching him as q vulture might watch
a dying animal
A moment later Leboeuf was almost
at his side, yet he was not conscious
of his having moved, or of having
closed his eyes. He got up wear
lily, picked up a stone, and flung it into
Leboeuf's face, gashtng his cheek.
Leboeuf never moved.

Nature of Pinchbeck

Plants That Protect
Coasts From the Sea

In the struggle to defend our coasts
from sea encroachments, seaside au-
thorities have no better allies than the
hardy tamarisk and shrubby sea bite.
These useful plants are as effective in
protecting the lonely stretches of our
shores as stout sea walls and far-ilung
groynes, says writer in London Tit
Bits. Take, for example, Shoreham,
on the Sussex coast. This town was
seriously affected by the incoming
tides until it was found that the loose
shingle that frinces the sea could be
bound into a resisting mass by the ex-
tensive planting of tamarisk, a hardy
little plant whose only real enemy is
severe frost.
On the Norfolk coast the same
method is adopted, but there the shift
Ing shingle is bound with shrubby sea
bite, which grows waist high and cov-
ers large areas of the coast The more
this plant is ill-treated the stOuter it
fourishes. Occasionally violent storm
will result in the shrubs being COM
pletely embedded in fresh shingle
thrown up by the waves. This, In
reality, is an advantage, as the plant
puts forth new shoots that bind the
fresh stones, still further strengthen
ing the land rampant.
