Tho three were tossed upon an unlnhab Itcd Island and woro tho only ones not drowned. Dlnlto recovered from a drunk en stupor. Make, shunned on tho boat, because of his roughness, becamo a hero Of preserver of tho helpless pair. Tho Englishman wag suing for tho hand of Miss Lcsllo. niako started to swim back to tho ship to recover what was left. Wake returned safely. Wlnthropo wasted his laBt match on a cigarette, for which ho was scored by Dlakc. Their first meal was a dead fish. Tho trio started a ton mils hike for higher land. Thirst at tacked them. Blake was compelled to carry Miss Leslie on account of weari ness. He taunted "Wlnthropo. Thoy en torcd tho jungle. That night was passed roosting high In a trco. Tim next morn ing they descended to tho open Again. All threo constructed hats to shield them selves from the sun. Thoy then fcastod on coroanuts, tho only procurable rood. Miss Lesllo showed a liking for make, but detested his roughness. Led by Blako thoy established a homo In some cliffs. IUako found a fresh water spring. Miss Leslie faced an unpleasant situation. They planned their campaign. Slake re covered his surveyor's magnifying glass, thus Insuring fire. Ho started a Jungle fire, killing a large leopard and smoth ering several cubs. In the loopard's cav ern thoy built a small homo. They gained tho cliffs by burning the bottom of a tree until It fell against tho heights. Tho trio secured eggs from the cliffs. Miss Leslie's whlto skirt was decided upon ns a signal. Miss Lesllo mado n dress from tho leopard skin. Blako's ef forts to kill antelopes failed. CHAPTER XIII. Continued. Tho ono difficulty way to reach tho lower branches. Sho could hardly touch thorn with hor flngor-tipa. But hor barbaric coatumo must havo In spired her. Sho llstoncd for n mo mont, and honrlng no sound to lndlcato tho roturn of tho men, clasped tho upper sldo of tho trunk with her hands and knees, and mado nn en ergetic attempt to climb. Tho posturo was far from dignified, but tho girl's eyes sparkled with satisfaction as sho found horsolf slowly mounting. When, flushed and breathless, sho gained a foothold among tho branches, she looked down at tho ground, and permitted herself a merry little glgglo such as sho had not Indulged In since leaving boarding-school. Sho had actually climbed a tree! Sho would show Mr. Blako that sho was not bo helpless as ho fancied. At the thought, sho clamborcd on up, finding that the branches made convenient steps. Sho did not look back, and the screen of treetops be neath saved her from any sense of giddiness. As hor head dame abovo tho lovel of tho cliff, she peered through tho follago, and saw tho signal-flag far over near tho ond of the headland. Tho big pleco of white duck stood out bravely against tho blue sky, all tho more conspicuous for the flocks of frightened seafowl which wheelod nbovo and around It. Surprised that sho did not sco tho men, Miss Leslie started to draw her Bolf up over tho cliff edge. Sho heard Wlnthropo's volco n few yards away to hor loft. A sudden realization that tho Englishman might consider her exploit Ill-bred caused hor to sink back out of sight Sho was hesitating whether to de scend or to climb on up, when Wln thropo's peevish whlno was cut short by a loud and nngry rotort from Blako. Every word caino to tho girl's cars with tho forco of a blow. "You do, do you? Well, I'd like to know whero In holl you como In. Sho's not your sister, nor your mother, nor your aunt, nnd If sho's your Bweot heart, you'vo botli been damnod closn mouthed over It." Thoro was an lrrltablo, rasping murmur from Wlnthropo, and again camo Blako's loud rotort. "Look horo, young man, don't you forget you called mo a end onco before. I can stand a good deal from a sick man; but I'll give It to you straight, you'd hotter cut that out. Call mo a bruto or a savage, If that'll lot off your Btcam; but, un derstand, I'm nono of your English kinds." Again Wlnthropo spoke, this tlmo In a fretful whlno. Blnko replied wllh Iosb angor: "That'B so; and I'm going to show you that I'm tho real thing when it comes to bolng a sport. Give you my word, I'll make no movo till you'ro through tho fever and on your legs again. What I'll do then depends on my own sweot will, and don't you forgot It. I'm not after her fortune. U'b tho lady herself that takes my fancy. Romom ber what I said to you whon you called mo n cad tho other tlmo. You had your turn aboard ship. Now I can do as I pleaso; and that's what I'm going to do, If I havo to kick you ovor tho cliff ond first, to shut off your pesky Interference" Tho girl crouched back into tho wlthorcd follago, dazed with terror, Again sho heard Blako speak. He had dropped Into a blttor snoor. "No chance? It's no nerve, you moan. You could brain mo, easy enough, any night Just walk up with a club whon I'm nsleep. Trouble Is, you're llko most othor under dogs frald thut if you licked your dobs, thcro'd bo no soup bones. So I gucsB I'm Blated to stay boss of this colony grand Poo Bah and Mikado, all In ono. Understand? You mind your own business, and don't go to Inter ferine with mo any morol , , "Now, Don't Get Mad. Worst Thing In tho World for Malaria." Now, if you'vo Btared enough at tho lady's skirt" Tho threat of discovery stung tho girl to Instant action. With almost frantic haste, sho scrambled down to tho lower branches, and sprang to tho ground. Sho had nevor ventured such a leap oven In childhood. She struck lightly but without proper balance, and pitched over sideways. Hor hands chanced to alight upon tho romnants of lcopnrd skin. Great ns was her fear, Bho stopped to gathor all to gether In tho edge of hor skirt beforo darting up tho cleft. , At tho baobab sho turned and gazed back along tho cliff edge. Beforo sho had tlmo to draw a second breath, sho caught n gllmpso of Blako's palm-leaf hat, near tho crown of tho ladder tree. "O-o-h! he didn't seo mo!" sho murmured. Her frantic strength van ished, and n deathly sickness camo upon hor. Sho felt herself going, nnd sought to kneel to easo tho fall. Sho waB roused from tho swoon by Blako's resonant shout: "Hey, Miss Jenny I where nro you? Wo'vo got your laundry on the polo in flno shape!" The girl's flaccid limbs grow ten3o, and her body quivered with a shudder of dread and loathing. Yet sho sot her Uttlo whlto teeth, and farced herself to rlso nnd go out to faco tho men. Both mot her look with a blank stnro of consternation. "What Is It, Miss Gonovlovo?" cried Wlnthropo. "You'ro white as chalk!" "It's tho fever!" growled Blako. "Sho's in tho cold stago. Got a pot on. We'll" "No, no; U'b not thnt! It's only I've been frightened!" "Frightened?" "By a a dreadful boast!" "Beast!" repeated Blako, and his palo eyes flashed as ho sprang across to whero his bow and arrows and his club leaned against tho baobab. "I'll havo no beasts nosing around my dooryard! Must bo that skulking lion I heard last night. I'll show him!" Ho caught up his weapons nnd stalked off down tho cleft. "By Jove!" exclaimed Wlnthropo; "tho man really must bo mad. Call him back, MIbs Genovlovo. If any thing should happen to him" "It only thoro might!" gasped the girl. "Why, what do you mean?" She burst Into a hysterical laugh. "Oh! oh! U'b such a Joke Biich a Joko! At least ho'B not a hyena oh, no; a bravo boast! Hear him shout! And ho actually thinks It's a Hon! Out it Isn't It's hlmsolfl Oh, doar! oh, dear! what shall I do?" "Miss Goneviove, what do you moan? Bo calm, pray, bo calm!" "Calm! whon I heard what ho said? Yea; I heard every word! In the top of the tree " "In tho tree? Heavens! Miss or Miss Gonovlovo!" stammered Wln thropo, his faco paling. "Did you did you hear nil?" "Everything ovcry thing ho said! What shall I do? I am so frightened! What shall I do?" "Everything ho said?" cchoo'd Wlnthropo. "You spoko too low for mo to hear; but I'm suro you faced him llko a gen tleman I must bollovo It of you" Wlnthropo drow In a deep breath. "Ah, yes; I did, Miss Gonovlovo I ns suro you. Tho boast! Yot you seo tho plight I am In. It 1b a nasty muddlo Indeed It Is! But what can I do? Ho is strong as n gorilla. Really, thoro is only ono way no doubt you heard him taunt mo over It. I assuro you Bhould not bo afraid but it would bo bo horrid so cold-blooded. As a gen tlemnn, you know " "No; It 1b not thnt!" broke In tho girl. "Ho Ib right. Nolthor of us has tho courage oven when ho Is nsleep." "My dear Miss Goneviovo, this beast Instinct to kill" "Yes; but think of him. If ho is n benst, ho Is st least a bravo one, Whllo wo wo haven't tho courngo of rabbits. I thought you called yourBOlf an English gentleman. Aro you going to stand by, and not lift a finger?" "Really, now, Miss Gonovlovo, to murder n man " "Solf-dofenso Ib not a crlmo self- preservation. If you havo a spark of manhood " "My dear" "For Heaven's snko, If you can't do anything, at least keep still! Oh, I'm suro I shall go mad! If only I had been drowned!" "Ah, yes, to bo auro. But really now, whnt you ask Ib a good deal for a man to risk. Tho fellow might wako up and murder mo! Should I tako tho risk, might I or expect some manifestation of your gratitude, Miss Gonovlovo?" "Of courso! of courso! I should al ways " "I ah refor to tho tho bestowal of your hand." "My hand? I Would you bargain for my cntecm? I thought you a gen tleman!" "To bo sure to bo suro! Who says I am not? But all is fair In lovo ond war, you know. Your cholco Is qulto free. I tako it, you will not considor his or proposals. But if you do not wish my nid, you havo another way of escape that Is nt, least other women havo douo it." Tho girl gazed at him, hor oyos dilating with horror ob sho realized his meaning. "No, no; not that!" sho gasped. "I want to live I'vo a right to llvol Why, I'm only Just 22 I" "Hush!" cautioned Wlnthropo. "IIo's coming back. Bo calm! There will bo tlmo until I got over this vilo malaria. It may bo that ho himself will have tho fovor." "Ho will not havo tho fovor," ro plied tho girl, in a hopolcss tone, nnd sho leaned back listlessly against tho baobab, as Blako swung himself up, frowning and sullon, and flung his weapons from blm. "Bah!" ho grumbled, "I told you that bruto was a sneak. I'vo chased clean down to tho pool and Into tho open, and not a smell of him. Must havo hiked off Into tho tnll grass tho minute ho heard me." "If only ho had gono off for good!" murmured Miss Leslie. "Maybo ho has; though you never can count on a sneak. Even you might bo ablo to shoo him off next tlmo; but, llKo as not, ho d como along whon wo woro nil out calling, nnd clean out our commissary. Guess I'll sot to nnd run up a bnrrlcado down thero whoro tho gully is narrowest. Thero'ro shoals of dead thorn-brush to tho right of tho pool." "Ah, yes; I fancy tho vultures will bo so vexed whon thoy find your hedgo in tho way," romarked Wlnthropo. "Myl how smart wo'ro getting!" ro- tortcd Blako. "Don't worry, though. Wo'll stow tho stuff In MIsb Jcnny'B boudoir, and I guess tho blrdics'U bo pollto enough to keep out." "I must say, Blako, I do not sco why you should wish to drag us away from horo." "Thcro's lots of things you don't sco, Win, my b'y Jokes, for lnstnnco. But what could you expect? you'ro English. Now, don't got mad. Worst thing In tho world for mnlarla." "Ono would fancy you could boo that I am not nngry. I'vo a splitting hcadacho, and my back hurts. I am ill." Blako looked him ovor critically, and nodded. "That's no Ho, old man. You'ro entitled to a hospital check all right Miss Jenny, wo'll appoint you chief nurso. Mnko him comfortnblo ns you can, and glvo him hot broth when- over he'll tako It. You can do your Bowing on tho sldo. Whonovor you need help, call on mo. I'm going to bo- gin that bnrricado." CHAPTER XIV. Fever and Fire and Fear. Y nightfall Wlnthropo was tossing and groaning on tho bed of leaves which Miss Lesllo had heaped beneath his canopy. though not delirious. hlB high temnora turo, coupled vith tho pains which racked every norvo nnd bono in his body, rendered him light-headed. Ho would catch hlmsolf up In tho midst of somo rambling nonsenso to lnquiro anxiously whothor ho had said any- thing silly or strange. On being rens surcd upon this, ho would rolnx again, anu, ns likely as not. break Into a babyish wail over his aches and pains Blnko shook his head whon ho learned that the attack had not boon preceded by a chill. "Guess ho'B in for a hot tlmo," ho said. "Thoro Is uioro'n ono kind of malarial fovor. Somo nro a wholo lot llko typhuB." "Typhus? What la that?" asked Miss Lesllo. "Sort of rapid flro, doublo action typhoid. Not that I think Win's got It only malaria. What gots mo Is that wo'vo only been hero theso fow days, and yet It looks liko ho's got tho con' tlnuous, no-chlll kind." "Then you think ho will be very ill?" "Well, I guess ho'll think so. It ought to run out in a week or ten days, though. Wo'vo had good water, and It usually takes tlmo for malaria to soak in deep. Now, don't worry, Miss Jenny. It'll do him no good, and you a lot of harm. Tako things ensy as you can, for you'vo got to keep up your strength. If you don't, you'll bo down yourself boforo Win is up." "Ill while ho is helplcsB nnd un able Oh, no; that cannot bo! I muBt not glvo way to tho fovor until" "Don't worry. You'll llkoly stavo It off for a couplo of weeks or so. You'ro lively yet, and tliat'n a good sign. I know Win was In for it when ho be gan to grouch and loaf and do the baby act. I haven't much uso for dudes in general, nnd English dudes In particular; but I'll admit that, whllo Wln'B soft enough In spots, ho's not all mush and milk." "Thank you, Mr. Blako." "You'ro welcome I couldn't say less, seeing that Win can't Bpeak for himself. Now you tumblo In and got a good Bleep. I'll go on an night nurse, and work at tho barricade aamo tlmo. You'ro not going to do any night- nursing. I can gather tho thorn-brush In tho afternoons, and pllo it up at night." In tho morning Miss Lesllo found thnt Blako had built a substantial canopy ovor tho Invnlld, In placo of tho first ramshackle structure, "It's best for him to bo out in tho air," ho explained; "so I fixed this up to keep off tho dew. But whonovor It rains, wo'll havo to toto him Insldo." "Ah, yes; to bo suro. How is ho?" murmured tho girl. "Ho'B about tho namo this morning, But ho got a llttlo sleep. Kcop him dosed with all tho hot broth ho'll tako. And Bay, roust mo out nt noon. I'vo had my breakfnBt. Now I'll havo a Bnoozo. So long!" Ho nodded, and crawled undor tho shado of tho ncaroat bush, too drowsy to observo hor look of dismay. (TO HE CONTINUED.) German Proverb.
