CHAPTER VI. Continued.
Along tho south wide of (lie cliff the
sea extended In twice as fur ns on the
north. From tho end of the lahtH tho
coast trended off four or five nilloa to
tho south-southwest In a shallow
hight, whoso Bonthern extremity was
hounded by a second limestone head
land. This ridgo rati Inland pnrallcl
to the first, and from a point come lit
tlo dlstnnco hack from tho shorn was
covered with a growth of leafless
trees.
Uotwccn the tv:o ridges lay a plain,
open along the shore, hut a nhort dis
tance Inland covered with a Jnnglo
of tall yellow grass, ahove which,
here and there, roso tho lops of scrub
by, lealless trees and tho graceful
crests of slender-shafted palms.
Ulakc's attention was drawn to tho
latter by that feeling of artificiality
which their exotic appearance so often
wakens In the mind of the northern-
bred man even after long, residence In
tho tropics. Hut in a moinont ho
turned away with a growl. "More of
those darned feather-dusters!" He
wau not looking for palms.
Tho last ragged bit of cloud, with
Us showery accompaniment, drifted
past before tho breeze which fallowed
the Rqimll, and the end of the storm
was proclaimed by a deafening chorus
of tquawka and screams along tho
higher ledges of the cliff. Staring up
ward, Blako for tho first time observed
that tho faco of tho cliff swarmed with
sonfowl.
"That's luck'." ho muttered. "Ghosh
I haven't forgot how to rob nests. Hot
our fine Inriy'U shy at sucking them
raw! All tho same, she'll havo to If
I don't rim across other rock than this,
poor girl!"
Ho advanced again along tiio talus,
and did not stop until ho reached tho
sand beach. Thero ho halted to make
n careful examination, not only of the
loose debris, but of tho solid rock
above. Finding no sign of flint or
quarts'., ho growled out a enrao ami
bached off along the beach to get a
view of tho cliff top. From a point a
llttlo beyond him, outward to tho ex
tremity of tho headland, ho could see
that tho upper ledges and the crest
of tho cliff, as well, wero fairly
crowded with seafowl and their nests.
His smile of satisfaction broaden "h!
when he glanced Inland and baw, loas
than half a mile distant, a wooded
cleft which apparently ran up to the
summit of tho rhlgu. From a jiolnt
near tho top a gigantic baobab tree
towered up against tho skyline like a
Hrobdingnaglan cabbage.
"Say, wo may havo a run for our
money, after nil," ho murmured.
"Shade, and no end of grub, and. by
tho green of thoso trees, a spring
llmestono water at that. Next thing,
I'll find a flint!"
Ho stopped his leg, nnd both sound
and feeling remlndml him that his
clothos wero drenched.
"(Jucss wo'll wait about that flint,"
ho said, and ho made for a clump of
Ihorn scrub a little way inland.
As tho tall grass did not. grow hero
within a mllo of tho shoro, thero was
nothing to obstruct him. Tho creeping
plants which during tho rainy season
had matted ovor tho sandy soil wero
now leafless and withered by (he heat
of tho dry Bcason. Even tho thorn
scrub was hnlf baro of leaves.
IJlake walked around tho clump to
tho shadiest side, and began to strip.
In quick succession ono garment after
another was Hung across a branch
where the sun would strlko It. Last
of all, tho shoes wero emptied of rain
water and set out to dry. Without a
pnuso, ho thon gavo himself a quick,
light rub-down, Just sufllclcnt to In
vlgorato Iho shin without starting tho
perspiration.
Physically tho man was magnlflcont.
His muscles were wiry and compact,
rather than bulky, and us ho moved
thoy played beneath his whlto skin
with tho smoothness and easo of a
tiger's,
After tho nib-down he squatted on
his heels nnd spent somo time trying
to bend his palm-leaf hat back into
shapo. When ho had placed this also
out In tho sun ho found himself be
ginning to yawn. Tho dry, sultry air
had mado him drowsy. A touch with
his baro foot showed him that the
sand beneath tho thorn bush had al
ready absorbed tho rain and offored a
xv surface, ilo glanced arouad, drow J

his club nearer and stretched himself
out for a nap.
CHAPTER VIII.
The Club Age.
T was past two o'clock when
thg sun, striking lu whore
Illnkc lay outstretched, be
gan to scorch one of his legs. He
stirred uneasily,-and sat upright. I.Ike
a sailor, he was wide awake tho mo
ment ho opened his eyes. He stood
up and pcurod around through tho half,
leafless branches.
Over the water thousands of gulls
and terns, boobies and cormorants
were skimming and diving, while
nbovo them a number of graceful frlgato
biids thoso swart, scurlet-throated pi
rates of tho air hung poised, ready to
swoop down tind rob tho weaker birds
of their fish. All about tho headland
and the surrounding water was llfo
in fullest action. Kvon from where
ho stood Hluko could hear the
harsh clamor of tho seafowl.
In marked contrast to this scene the
plain was apparently lifeless. When
lilako rose, a small brown ll.ard
darted away across tho sand. Other
wise thero was neither sight nor
sound of a living cronlure. Hlake pon
dered this as hli gathered his clothes
Into tho shade and began to dress.
"I.ooKs liko the siesta Is tho nil
round stylo lu this God-forsaken hole,"
ho grumbled. "Haven't seen so much
as a rabbit, nor even ono land bird.
May bo a drought no; must bo the
dry season Wheo, these things are
hot! I'm thirsty as a shark. Now,
whore's that, softy and hor ladyship?
'Frald sho'ij In for a tough tlmo!"
Ho drow on his shoos with a jerk,
growled at tholr stiffness, and, club
In hnnd, stepped clear of the brush to
look for his companions. Tho first
glance along tho foot of tho cliff
showed him WInthrope lying under tho
shnde of tho overhanging ledges, a fow
yards beyond the sand beacht Of
Miss Leslie thero wns no sign. Hnlf
alarmed by this, Hlako Btarted for tho
beaeh with hlu swinging stride. Win
thropo wns awake, and on lllake's ap
proach, sat up to greet him.
"Hello!" ho called. "Whoro havo
you been nil this time?"
"'Sleep. Whero's Miss Leslie?"
"Slio's around tho point."
Hlako grinned mockingly. "Indeed!
Hut I fnwncy she won't bo for long."
Ho would hnvo passed on, but Win
tropo stepped before him.
"Don't go out thero, HInke," he pro
tested. "I ah think It would bo bet
ter If 1 went."
"Why?" demanded HInke.
Wlnthropo hesitated; but an Impa
tient movement by Hlako forced an
answer: "Well, you remember, this
morning, tolling us to dry our clothes."
"Yes; I remember," said Hlako. "So
you want to servo as lady's valet?"
Wlnthropo's plump faco turned a
sickly yellow.
"I ah valet? What do you moan,
sir? I protest I do not understand
you!" ho slnmmeied. Hut In tho midst,
cntchlng sight of HI alto's bewildered
stare, ho sudd?nly flushed crimson,
nnd burst out In unrestrained auger:
"You you bounder you beastly cad!
Any inan .wth an ounce of decency "
Hlako' uttered a Jeering laugh
"Wow! Hark, how tho Hrltlsh Hon
r-r-ro-ars when his fall's twisted!"
"You beastly cad!" rupi-atcd tho
Kngllshmiiii, now purple with rage.
Hlake's unpleasant pleasantry gave
place to a tcowl. Ills jaw thrust out
like a bulldog's, and he bent towards
Wlnthropo with a menacing look. For
a moment the Kuglis-hinan faced him,
sustained by his anger. Hut thero was
a steely light In Hlake's eyes that ho
could not withstand. Wlnthrope's de
fiant stare wavered and fell. Ho
shiank back, the color fast ebbing
from his cheeks.
'Tgh!" growled HInke. "Guess you
won't bint any more about cuds! You
damned hypocrite! Maybo I'm not
on to how you've been hanging around
Miss Ieslle Just, because she's an
heiress. Anything fair enough for
you swells. Hut let a fellow so much
ns open his mouth nbont yotir exalted
set, and It's perfectly dreadful, yon
know!"
Ho paused for a reply. WInthrope
only drew back a step farther and
eyed hlni with a furtive, sidelong
glance. This brought Hlako back to
his mocking jeer. "You'll learn, Pat,
me b'y. There's lots of thlngs'II show
up different to you before we get
through tills picnic. For ono thing,
I'm boBS here president, congress suid
supremo court. Understand?"
"Hy what right, may 1 usk?" mur
mured WInthrope.
"Itlght!" nnswered niake. "That
hasn't anything to do with the ques
tionit's might. Hnck In civilized
pnrts your little crowd has the drop
on my big ciowd nnd runs things to
suit themselves. Hut here we're port
of reverted to primitive society. This
happens to bo tho Club Ago and I'm
tho Man with the Hlg Stick. See?"
"I myself sympathize with the lower
classes, Mr. Hlake. Above all, I think
It barbarous the way they punish one
who Is forced by circumstances to
appropriate part of tho Ill-gotten gains
of the rich upstarts. Hut do you be
Hove, Mr. Hlake, that brute strength"
"You hot! Now shut up. Whero're
tho coconnuts?"
WInthrope picked up t-wo nuts and
handed them over.
"Tlioro wero only five," ho ex
plained. "All right. I'm no captnln of In
dustry." "Ah, true; you said wo had reverted
to barbarism," rejoined Wlnthropo,
venturing an attempt at sarcasm.
"Lucky for you!" retorted Hlake.
"Hut Where's Miss Losllo nil this
tlmo? Her clothes niU3t havo dried
hours ago."
"They did. We hud luncheon togeth
er just this sido of the point."
"Oh, you did! Then why shouldn't
I go for hor?"
"I I thero was a shaded pool
around tho point, and sho thought n

She went not moro than half an
hour ago."
"So that's It. Well, whllo I eat you
go nnd call her and say, you keep
this side tho point. I'm looking out
for Miss Lesllo now."
Wlnthropo hurried away, clenching
his flbta and almost weeping with Im
potent rngc. Truly, matters wero now
very different from what thoy had
been nboard ship. Fortunately ho had
not gene a dc:en stops beforo Mies
Leslie appeared around tho corner of
Iho cliff. Ho wns scrambling nlong
ovor the loono stones of the slopo
without the slightest consideration for
his ankle. Tho girl, moro thoughtful,

As she npproached, Dlako's frown
gave place to a look that mado his
face lnHtlvoly pleasant. Ho had al
leady chained tho coconnuts; now ho
proceeded to smnsh tho sholla Into
small bits, that ho might cnt tho meat,
t and at the tamo tlmo keep his gaze
on tin' girl. Tho cliff foot bolng well
shaded by (ho towering wall of rock,
she had taken off his coat and was
euro lug li. on her arm; so that thero
wus nothing to mar (ho. effect of hor
dainty openwork waist, with its elbow
sleeves anil grncoful collar and tho
lllmy veil of laeo over tho Bhouldora

clean b;. the rain, and sho had man

Kcfrenlied by a nap In tho forenoon
and by her salt-water dip, Bho showod
more vlvarlty than at any time that
WInthrope could remember during
their acquaintance. Her suffering dur

mark In tho dnrk circles beneath hor
hazel eyes, hut this In no wine
lessened their brightness; whllo tho
elasticity of her step showed that she
had quite recovered her well-bred easo
and grace or movement.
She bowed and smiled to tho two
men Impartially. "aood-nfternoou,

"Sumo to you, Miss Lesllo!" re
rpended Hlako, staring nt her with
frank admiration. "You look fresh as

car. Sho colored ns sho turned from

"fs there anything now, Mr. Win

''I'm afraid not, Mlss'aonovlove! Like

"Yes; but Hlnko first took a squint

"Permit me." said WInthrope.

ACT AS SPUR TO MAN'S PRIDE.
Love and Belief Are Powerful Agents
for. Reformation.
Lovo nnd belief In a man can never
hurt him. It will nlwnys net as a
spur to his pride, which is invariably
close to a man's love, whilst it has
little or nothing to do with a womnn's.
Kven when tho schoolboy fulls In
lovo with tho llttlo girl In pinafores,
his first Instinct Is to acquit himself
In her eyes In some magnificent way
to knock out somo other boy, or In
timidate a foo.
This Instinct remains with men un
til they die, Just as girls from the
eradlo or Inspired by lovo seek beauty
to appear lovolv in the eyes of their

And tho mni-iculliin pride and prow
