Mr. Illako, pray do not get oxclted I I mean, plcaso oxcubo mo. I'm" "You'ro coming down Blckl" ho said. "No, no! I havo no fovor." "Then it's tho Btin. Yot you ought to kcop up thero whero tho air is freshost. I'll mako you a Bhado." Shu protested, and withdrew, somo whnt hurriedly, to hor troo. in tho morning Uluko was gono again: but Instead of a noto, bcsldo tho flro stood tho eninllor antolopo skin convortcd into a great bamboo ribbed sunshade. Sho spent tho day as usual on tho headland. Thero was no wind, nnd tho Btin wns scorching hot. Ilut with her big Biinshado to protect hor frpm tho direct rays, tho hont was at least on durable 8ho oven found cnorgy to work at n basket which sho was attempting towcavo out ot long, coarse grass; yot thoro woro froquont Intervals whon hor hands sank idlo in her lap, and sho gazed away ovor tho shimmering glnssy oxpanso of tho ocean. In thq nftornoon tho heat bocamo opprosslvcly sultry, and a long slow swoll began to roll shorownrd from beyond tho distant horizon, Bhowlng no traco of whlto along its oily crests until they broko ovor tho coral roofs Thoro wns not a breath of nit1 Btirrihg; nnd for' a tlmo tho rcofn bo checkod tho rollora that thoy lacked forco to drlvo on In nnd break upon tha bench 8tcadlly. howover, tho swoll grow hoavlor, though not so much ns a cat's paw rufllod tho doad surfneos ot tho watory hillocks. Ily sunsot thoy woro rolling high ovor both linos ot roofs and racing shoreward to broak upon tho bench and the cliff foot in furious Burf. Tho still nlr reverberated with tho booming of tho breakers. Yot tho girl, inland bred nnd unversed In weather lore, sat heedless and indlf- foront, hor oyoB flxod upon tho horl zon In n vacant stare. Hor rovprlo wns at last disturbed by tho peculiar behavior of tho scafowl. TIiobo in tho air circled around In a manner Btrnngo to her, whllo their matos on tho ledges wntldlod restlessly about ovor and botwoon tholr nosts. Thoro was a shrlllor noto than usual In tholr discordant clamor. Yot oven whon sho gavo hood to tho blrdB, tho girl failed to rcallzo tholr alarm or to sonso tho lmponding dan ger. It was only that n feeling of dis quiet had broken tho spoil of hor rov orlo; it did not obtrudo upon tho field of hor conscious thought. Sho sighed and roso to return to tho cloft, Idly wondering that tho air should seem moro sultry than at mid-day. Tho peculiar appcaranco of tho sun and tho westorn sky meant nothing moro to hor than nn odd offoct ot color and light. Sho smilingly comparod it with an n'ttompt at a sunsot painted by an artist frlond ot tho Impressionist school, Neither Wlnthropo nor Dlako was in sight whon sho reached tho baobab, and nolthor appeared, though sho de layed suppor until dark. It was quito possible that thoy had caton boforo her roturn nnd had gono off again, tho Englishman to dozo and Dlako on an evening hunt. At last, tired of waiting, sho covered tho flro and retired into hor troo-ca,vo. Tho nlr in tho cloft was still moro stilling than on tho hoadland. Sho paueod, wltb hor hand upraised to closo tho swinging door. She bad propped it open whon sho came out in tho morning. After a moment's hesi tation, sho wont on across the hollow, leaving tho door wldo open. "I will rost a Ilttlo, and closo It later," Bha sighed. She was feeling woary and doprcssed. An hour passed. An ominous still noss lay upon U10 cloft. Even tho ctcadab lmd'hushod their shrill note. Tho only sound waa a muffled ro vrborftUng echo of the surr roaring PC "I Know Already upon tho seashore Dencnth tho giant spread of tho baobab all was black noss. Something moved In a bush a little way down tho cleft. A crouching flguro appeared, dimly outlined In tho starlight. Tho flguro crept stoalthily across into tho donsor night of tho bao bab. Tho darkness closed about it like a shroud. A blinding flash of light pierced tho blackness. Tho flguro baited nnd crouched lower, though the flash had gono again In n fraction of a second. A dull rumbling mingled with tho coaselefls boom of tho surf. A second flash lighted tho cleft with Its dazzling coruscation. This tlmo the creeping flguro did not halt. Again and again tho forked light ning streaked across tho Bky, evory stroko moro vivid than tho ono before Tho rumblo ot tho distant thunder deepened to a heavy rolling which dominated tho dull roar ot tho break ors. Tho storm wns coming with tho on-rush of a tornado. Yet tho leaves hung motionless In tho still nlr, and thero was no sound othor than tho thundor and tho booming of tho surf. Tho lightning flared, ono stroko upon tho, othor, with a brilliancy that lit up tho cavo'B interior brlghtor than at mid-day. In tho whito glaro tho girl saw Win thropo, crouchod beneath hor upswung door; und his fnco was as tho faco of a boast. CHAPTER XXj The Hurricane Blast. OR a momont that seemed a momont of etornltv aim lay on hor bed staring into tho blank darkness. Tho storm burst with a crashing uproar that brought hor to hor foot with a shrlok. Hor giant trco croaked and strained under tho Impact of tho torrlflc hurrlcano blasts that camo howling through tho cleft llko a. rout of shrieking flonds. Tho ponlB of thuuder mergod Into ono continuous roar, beneath which tho Bolld lodgca of rocks Jarred and qulv ored. Tho sky wns a pall of black cloudB, meshed wltb a dazzling net work or rorkod lightning. Tho girl stood motionless, stunned by tho uproar, appallod by tho blinding glaro of tho thunderbolts; yot even moro foarful of tho flguro which ovory flash ehowod hor still lurking beneath tho door. A gust-borno bough struck with numbing forco against her up- raised arm. But sho took no heed. Sho waa unawuro of tho Bwirl of rain and sticks and loaves that was driving in through tho open entrance. On a sudden the door Bhook freo from its props and whirled violently around on its balance-bar. Thero was i shrlok that pierced above tho shrill r? of tho cyclone a single human tirlek. Tho girl sprang across the cavo, Tho heavy door swished up boforo het4 and down 'again, its lower edge all but grazing hor facov. Fr fa momontMt itoppod in a jortjcal position and EOT I Know All." hung qulvorlng, llko a beast about to leap upon its proy. Too oxcltod to comprehend tho dangor of tho net, tho girl sprang forward nnd Bhot ono of tho thick bars Into Its sockot. A fierce gust leaped against the out er faco of tho door and thrust In upon Jt, striving to burst It bodily from its bearings. Tho top and tho freo Bldo of tho bottom bowod In. But tho branches woro still greon and tough, tho bamboo llko whalcbono and tho shrunken creepers bold the framo to getner as though tho Joints wero lashed "with wlro rope. Failing to smash in the olasttc structuro or to snap tho crossbar it wero as if tho blast flung Itsolf alternately against tho top and bottom in a flerco attempt to again whirl tho framo about. Tho whlto glaro streaming in through tho interstices showed tho girl her oppor tunlty. Sho grasped another bar and shot it into Its socket as tho lower part of tho door gavo back with tho shitting of tho prcssuro to the top. It was then a simple matter to slide tho remaining bars into tho deop-sunk holes. Within half a mlnuto sho had mado tho door fast from tho first bar to tho sixth. A heavy spray was beating In upon hor through tho chinks of tho frame work. She drew back and sought shelter In a nlcho at tho sldo. Nar row as was tho slit abovo tho top ot tho door, it lot In n torrent ot water, which spouted clear across and ngalnst tho far wall of tho cavo. It gushed down upon her bed and was already Hooding tho cavo floor. Sho piled higher the cocoanuts stored in her niche, and porched hor solt upon tho heap to keep above tho water. But eovn in her sheltered cor ner tho eddying wind showered her with spray. Sho waded across for her ekln-covorcd sunshado, and returned to buddlo beneath It, in tho still mis ory and terror of a hunted nnlmal that has crept wounded Into a holo. During tho first hurrlcano thoro had been companions to whom sho could look for holp and comfort, nnd sho had beon to a dogreo unaware of tho greatnoss of tho danger. But In tho fow short weeks slnco she had caught moro than ono glimpse of Prlmovnl Naturo Bho of tho bloody fang, blind, romorsolosB, insensate, destroying, ovor destroying. Truo, this was on solid land, whllo boforo thero had been tho porll ot the oca, But now tho girl wns nlono. Out Bldo tho straining walls of hor refuge, tho hurrlcano yollod and shrioked and roared a headless, formless monster, furious to burst In upon hor, to over throw her stanch old troo giant, that in bis fall his shuttered trunk might crush and manglo hor. Or at any In stant n thundor-bolt might rend open tho great tower of living wood, and burl her blackened body Into the pool on the cavo floor. Once she fancied that eho heard Dlake shouting outside the door; but when Bhe screamed a shrill response, the blast mockod her with echoing shrieks, and sho dared not venture to tree tho door. If it wero Blnko, ho did not shout again. After a tlmo sho began to think that Uxo sound had been no moro than a freak of tho shifting wind. Yot tho thought of him out in tho full fury of tho cyclono sorvod to turn her thoughts from her own danger. Sho prayed aloud for his safety, beseeching Qod that ho bo sparod. Sho Bought to pray oven for Wlnthropo. Ilut tho vision of that beastly faco roso up boforo hor, and sho could not then. Presently sho became awaro of a chango in tho storm, Tho terrlflo gusts blow with yot greater vllonce, tho thunder crashed heavier, tho light nlng filled tho nlr with n, flnmo of dazzling whlto light. But tho rain no longer gUBhcd across on tho spot whero her bed had been. It was en torlng nt a different nnglo, and Its forco was broken by the bend In tho thick wall of tho entrance. After a tlmo tho doluge dashed aslant tho en trance, guslilng down tho door In a cataract of foam. Another Interval, and tho driving downpour no longer Btruck oven the edgo of tho opening. Tho wind was veorlng rapidly as tho cyclono centor moved past on ono side. Tho area of tho hurrlcano was little moro than thrice that of a tornado, and It was advancing along Its courso at great speed. An hour moro, and tho out ermost rim of tho hugo whirl was passing ovor tho cleft. Quickly tho hurrlcano gusts foil away to a galo; tho galo bocamo a breeze; tho brcczo lulled and died away, stifled by the torrential rain Within tho baobab all was again dark and silent. Utterly exhausted, tho girl had sunk back against the friend' iy wall ot tho trco, and fallen nslcep She was wakened by a hoarse call: "Miss Jenny 1 Miss Jonny, nnswor mel Aro you nil right?" Sho started up, baroly saving her self from a fall as tho big unhusked nuts rolled beneath hor feet The morning sunlight wns streaming In over hor door. Sho sprang down ankle deep Into tho mlro of tho cavo floor, and ran to loosen tho bars. As the door swung up, Bho darted out, with a cry of delight: "You aro safo safol Oh, I wns so afraid for you! But you'ro drenched! You must build a flro dry yourself at onco!" "Walt," said Blake. "I'vo got to toll you something." Ho caught hor outstretched hands, nnd pushqd thorn down with gentle forco. His fnco was gravo, almost sol emn. "Think you can stand bad nowB a shock?" 1 wnnt is it7 You look so strange!" "It's nbout Wlnthropo something very bad " Sho turned, with a gasp, and hid her faco in hor hands, shuddering with horror and loathing. "Oh! oh!" sho cried. "I know nl ready I know all!" "All?" demanded Blake, staring blankly. "Yes; nil! And and ho mado mo think It wns you!" Sho gasped, und fell silent. Blnko s faco wont whlto. Ho spoko in n clear, vibrant volco, tenso as an ovorstralnod violin string: "I nm speaking nbout Wlnthropo under stand mo? Wlnthropo. Ho has beon badly hurt." 'Tho door swung down nnd struck him, whon ho wns creeping In." "God!" roared Blako. "I picked him up llko a sick bahy tho boast! 'stead of grinding my heel In his faco! God! I'll" "Tom! don't don't ovon speak of it! Tom!" "God! When a helpless girl when a!" He choked, beside himself with rago. Sho sprang to him, and caught his sleovo In a convulsive grasp. "Hush, for mercy's sake! Tom Blake, remom- bor you'ro a man!" He calmed like a ferocious dog at tho volco of its master ; but it fas sev eral minutes before ho could bring himself to oboy her Insistent urging that bo should roturn to tho Injured man. "I'll go," ho at last growled. "Wouldn't do It ovon for you, but bo's good a3 doad lucky for him!" "Dead!" "Dying. You stay away." He wont around the baobab and a few paces along tho cloft to tho placo whero a limp form lay huddled on the ledges, out of tho mud. Slowly, ns though drawn by tho fasclnntlon of horror, tho girl crept after him. Whon sho saw tho brokon, storm-boaton thing that had been Wlnthropo, sho stopped, arid would havo turned back. After all, as Blako had eaid, no was aying Whon Bho stood at tho feet of tho writhing flguro, and looked down into tho battered faco, it required all her will-power to keop from fainting, uiaito rrownod up at hor for an In itant, but said nothing. Wliithropo was speaking, feebly and brokenly, yot distinctly: "Really. I did not mean any harm at first you kuow. But a man does not always nave control " Jsot a beast llko you!" growled Blako. "Owl Don't 'it inol I say now. I'm done for! My legs aro cold already " ANOTKUrt IMPORTANT VICTORYl FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE COMPANY IN THE UNITED STATES COURT.
