the jaw. Two such blows hurled
the enemy back against the house.
For a moment Freeman was
groggy but then, with a muffled
cry he regained his senses.
CHAPTER, XIV.
AS Freeman rushed forward to
renew his attack, Eddie tried to
step inside swinging blow.
Freeman's fist struck heavily. but
with glancing force above the ear
and there was a reverberating
shock inside his head. If he was
to maintain himself, Eddie real
lied. he couldn't take many such
bludgeonfng walIops. Freeman
had too much weight, too much
strength, for straight-out slug
ging match. With the shortest
possible delay. Eddie knew he

A voice came to them clear.
swift, decisive. Marian Thorndike
had appeared suddenly on the
veranda. Her very presence was
a prohibition against the mad,
primitive business of battling
with the intent fury of Stone
Age warriors. Each man, sud-

them. Eddie fell back a step or
two and Tom Freemna wiped his
face with handkerchief. 1t had
ended as suddenly as 1t had
started.

mediately, to steady his senses.
In the few seconds of savage com.
bat he had reached a keyed.up
vigor that was wildly, gloriously
primitive. Surface civilization
had dropped away from him and
he had waged with an ancient
instinct to destroy a rival. His
breath still came heavy, while
his head was ringing yet from
the heavy blow he had with

If you'd leave us alone,

Again it was Tobe who brought
him more suggestive information.
Marian's father and mother the
negro informed him were absent
now for a few days from the
county, visiting in Richmond.
Marian and the two negro women
servants-were keeping the house.
Eddie threw off the disagreeable
knowledge that Mr.. Thorndike did
not want him on the place and de-
terrnined to call on Marian. The
need to see her was hunger he
had resisted too long.
After all, she had not forbidden
him to come. Nor had her father
directly. The knowledge that
he was not wanted by Mr.. Thorn
dixie stung him, but the urge to
leok on her face again was
stronger than pride. When, again,

But the broad veranda with its
wicker chairs and moonlight every

wanted to stay outside.

The servant retired and he
dropped into chair, lighting
cigarette. Inside the house he
thought he heard a mans voice
and q. moment later he was sure

The irresistible magnetism that
was generated between them crept
stealthiIy through the nerves and
fibers Of their bodies. Marian
could feel his shoulder pressing
hers. and a tremor ran through
her. To resist it, to fight against
the spell and break it, was an ef-
fort against nature-an effort
she postponed from moment to
moment.
Automatically, Eddie's arm
began to steal behind her with a
slow progress of caustic, dis.
mantling pleasure. Time still re-
manned for her to draw back.
The encircling arm frightened
slowly and tenderly she was drawn
to him with inevitable reluctance
until, with a sudden surrendering
movement of her own. her head
rested on his shoulder.
Just for a moment or two she
remained thus, and then, with a

their shoulders almost touched,

DR.. Lloyd, his meager funds exhausted, is
forced to trade the tools Of his profession
for drink. His throat burning with desire
for liquor he visits Sebastian's store in the
hope of securing one more bottle Of gin on
credit, When Sebastian refuses him fur
ther credit, Lloyd attempts to barter his
stethoscope for just one drink. He demon
strates to pearl buyer the use of the instru-
goes away without his drink.
The Washington times., 1928-11-09

AS Lloyd leaves the store, Sebastian,
his native mistress, and their friends
laugh at the physician. A rival pearl
buyer comes to him with pearl which
he has just bought. The pearl is of
immense value, and Sebastian is filled
with greed and envy at this proof Of
his rivals luck In the hope of dupli-
eating the other buyers success, Sebas-
tian puts out on the lagoon to see how
his divers are working.
The Washington times., 1928-11-09

Sobered by his forced abstinence,
Lloyd wanders to the edge Of the
lagoon There he finds pearl diver
who is bleeding from nose and mouth,
a blood vessel having burst under the
pressure of the water. Lloyd aids him.
Sebastian comes up, and believing that
dying man will be lucky and bring
up pearl Of worth, orders the man
to dive again. Lloyd argues against
this inhumanity, and the two men
