silly And if the people on the boat thought
that they had been cut off and were drowned,
then the Byronie would steam away and
Miss Locke would have to wear black, poor
thing, for the rest of the voyage
She caught few words from the Irishman

he was saying. And who'll be knowing how
long she'll be hanging around looking for
them? It's no good it does to the skipper to be
mislaying his passengersr'
Jane heard the man at her side stir. His
eyelids flickered and he took deep breath.
Then his eyes opened and he looked at her as
if he saw nothing. He spoke in queer cracked
voice; what he said appeared to her to be
nonsense.
Its the rabbit +. I'm down and out, and
it's the rabbit! Funny thing, said it looked
like hospital rabbit Somebody socked
me -. FILL down rabbit hole and somebody
socked me. Then. naturally, down comes the
rabbit! All fits in. doesn't it? By George,
though no, it doesnty' His eyes were
clearing. He stared at her in wondering way:
Where's my hat? want to take it off. Good
old rabbit
She said "Hush!" because that was what
everybody said to people who were i'll and
wanted to talk. but she could not make out
why his mind should run upon rabbits.
bill Taske," she heard him mutter,
you're the king cad of the world! wish my
brain would work. He closed his eyes. For
some moments he was silent and then, with
out opening his eyes: Il wish I'd seen that
little man with the eyebrows before he saw
me! And the rabbit heard the shindy and came
down to rally round! Ye gods, what a rabbit
And once again he fell to silence.
Jane thought that if he was really coming
round, it was time he abandoned the subject
of rabbits and tried to take in the situation.
She wanted to explain things to him before
the men came back. Listen" she said, in a
low voice, 1T isn't rabbit hole! We're not in
that sort of hole at all!'
Bill was still bit hazy cts hole" he
said dreamily, "and there's beautiful rabbit
in it!'
Jane sighed. The thing was evidently an
obsession with him.
Then he opened his eyes and they were
clear and sane He tried to sit up, but lay
back again and smiled twistedly.

it neednt worry us! We can 60 back along the

''Yes," she said, obediently.
They clambered up to the edge of the low
cliffs and set out quickly across the rough
grass. Bill was little ahead of her when
he called suddenly, Look out! There's ~
He slthered forward and, with frantic grab
at the grass, disappeared.
In front of her crevice gaped blackly.
She went to the edge and looked down. She
could see nothing but she could hear more
plainly the sound of the sea. 1t told her that
underneath was cave which ran out to the
cliff face She noticed that it was getting dark,
the African night was coming down like
curtain The melancholy drone of the Byro'ic's
siren recalling the boats 1oated across to
her.
She knelt down and listened again. She
heard the quite unmistakable voice of Mr.
Taske What the devil .. Then crash
and the sound of splintering wood.
husky Irish voice cried. excitedly: I've
knocked it out, whatever it might be! Bring
the torch; don't shine it seawards, ye lunatic!
Holy mackerel! He's - auashed against the
spickr'
A faint beam of light flashed beneath her,
by its gleam she saw that the floor of the cave
was no great distance down. An agitated voice
broke in, speaking French. She could make
nothing of what it said.
Then the Irishman: Help me pull the
brute out of here" The soft scraping of body
being dragged along the ground.
Jane stood up The siren still walled. She
stood quite still and felt very cold. She said
to herself primly: "Mr. Taske is down there,
hurt And you are very frightened but you've
got to do something about it! If you hang
about, you'll only get more frightened
The rabbit swung herself gingerly over the
edge of the crevice and dropped -.
She found herself alone, surrounded by
packing cases. She felt very much like Alice
in Wonderland, only a great deal more
terrified than Alice ever seems to have been.
From somewhere in the black cave she heard
the Irshman cursing musically. She felt lit
tie faint Like Alice, she had habit of talking
to herself and she whispered, IF you faint,
III never forgive you" Nevertheless, she sat
down on the nearest packing case.
The giddy feeling left her and she got
slowly to her feet; noise like the scream

and down. She saw small, thickset man,
with a struggling gray moustache and rather
humorous blue eyes almost hidden under the
thick brows.
He said: That big lover of yours hasn't
handed in his paybook, but it's thick head
he must have! His brains will be sorting them
selves out for time. I'm thinking!'
Instinctively, Jane explained that MIR.
Taske was not her lover.
Then it fix you're in, he said, land
deal that you'll have to explain!"
Jane ignored this. us he fit to be moved?"
she asked.
I'm no medical man," was the answer.
but If he is, he won't be-" He chuckled
again, but his mouth was hard. DO come into
the drawing room," he went on. Its no
gentleman am, keeping you standing in the
hall!''
She followed him into the further part of
the cave, which was larger and stacked with
packing cases. BY the light of candle, she
saw Bill Taske lying on the ground. He had
cut on the chin. His eyes were closed and he
was breathing loudly. She remembered that
her brother, after taking toss in the hunting
field, had done the same thing. The French
man, tall cadaverous man, standing beside
Bill burst into torrent of words and pointed
to her with evident alarm. The Irishman said:
"Its what ye may have behind your back
that he's wishful to know!'
He slipped quickly behind her and flashed
the torch on the torn skirt. Then he laughed.
He turned to the Frenchman and evidently
explained, but the Frenchman did not smile.
He talked faster than before until his COM
panion cut him short; then he moved off,
muttering.
Il don't say" said the Irishman, that the
French haven't got their points. But they
panic around before the mix-up, like fish in
the basket, and that's the truth"
When Jane found her voice she was angry
to hear that it trembled. Somehow or other"
she said, you must signal to the ship!'
= The Irishman smiled broadly. That is the
last thing I'll be doing, even for the sake of
those great jewels of eyes ye keep in your
head. And for why? Because it's in jail I'd
be if did so, along with me friend, the Gaul.
And, as we've both been there before, there'd
be no thrill about the thing at all!'
1t was not encouraging to be sitting in

ex-convicts and an unconscious man, and 1t
was not the kind of situation with which
Miss Locke had trained her to deal. Jane
knew, of course, that the modern girl managed
this sort of thing in her head. Perhaps it was a
pity that she had been so contented at the
country vicarage. No doubt that was why her
father had suggested this cruise. He had SAID
it was time she saw something of the world.
Well, she was seeing it,.
She must pretend that she was entirely
capable of dealing with the affair, she told
herself. She said: Something has to be done
about Mr.. Taske"
The Irishman looked down at the uncon-
scious and stertorous Bill There's nothing
to do" he said. but to leave him be. It's
daisy of a crack on the skull he's collected,
though I've seen grander ones in me time.
Leave him alone and he Il sleep it of and be
wondering what kind of jag he's been on.
But out of here he can't 60 - not till the day
after tomorrow. nor you either: For why,
you'll be asking. And III tell you.
''It's little matter of gunrunning we're
dabbling in, and it's strange mean view the
police take of such adventures. For if the boys
want to be killing each other, and it's can
give them the tools for it, and put by little
for me old age, where would be the harm!
Answer me that if ye can! But must 60 and
talk over with me friend what must be done
with ye, though there Il be no murder, for I'm
a kindly man at heart; so ye can rub the tears
from your eyes, though, if they were sap
phires before, they're set in pearls now!
There aren't any tears in my eyes," she
said Indignantly.
Are there not? Then me dear old mother
was right, who said I'd drink meself blind
before l was fortyp' He thrust his hands
into the pockets of his filthy white drill
trousers and went towards the mouth of the
cave Jane saw jug on one of the packing
cases. 1t was half filled with water and she
sat down by Bill and bathed the blood from
his chin and dabbed his forehead.
She wished, of course, that this thing had
not happened to her, or - horrible Doubt
did she wish that? She felt that at least it
should not have happened to her with Mr..
Taske, for she had heard enough boat gossip
to know that he was considered squire Of
danes of no mean attainments.
And here they were, it appeared, for two
whole nights; the excuse that they had been

ofa buzz came from behind her. Caught on
nail, her skirt had ripped from waist to ankle.
To girl like Jane this appeared in the light
of major disaster She wished she had put on
a petticoat. As it was, she had not even
safety pin.
She heard the Frenchman gabbling excitedly;
,evidently he had heard her. Holding her skirt
together with one hand, she moved gropingly
in the direction of the voices. She was
determined to pretend that she was not
frightened. The rabbit was going into action.
The beam of powerful electric torch struck
her full in the face.
The voice of the Irishman came huskily out
of the void. There was note of indignation in
it. "Is it a reception we are giving?"
He came close to her and looked her up
Evening star., 1937-12-05


"Have to wait bit, he said, Il know it
isn't rabbit hole. But what was saying
made sense all the same! wonder what sort
of hole it is!''
She told him.
"And they're two of them, - he said at last,

of the stuff? can see how all the nice people

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

n YONE of us likes fear. We try
N to avoid it. Yet beyond
" doubt there are times when
4 fear is blessing. That seems
queer, doesn't it? But it is so. There
could be no greater disaster to the
world than the removal of all fear
Carelessnes and heedlessneSs would
follow everywhere at all times. 1t
would be dreadful So it is true that
at times fear may be very great
blessing. To be without fear is not
to be brave. Often it is simply to be
stupid The brave are those who
fear, but dare to do in spite of fear
You may hear it said Of some one
that he was frightened stiff" This
usually means that the person just
was very greatly frightened. But it
may be true literally, and often is
among the little people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows. They
become paralyzed through fear. They
become SO frightened that they can
not move, no matter how much they
may desire to. And fright like this
has saved many lives, very many
lives
Taddy, the young Toad in Farmer
Browns garden, had been fright
ened a few times since his arrival
there. but only few times These
frights had been so far apart that
he had grown a bit careless, fear.
When he first had arrived there,
after long journey from the Snlil-
