"Thank you!" Bho Bald, and Bho turned nwny quickly that sho might not again look nt tho prostrato figure. CHAPTER XXI. Wreckage and Salvage. LL tho wood In tho cloft was sodden from tho florco downpour that had accom panied tho cyclono; nil tho cloft hot torn other than tho bare lodges wns a bed of mud; ovorythlng without tho trec envo had boon elthor blown away or heaped with brokon boughs nnd mud-spattorod vubblsh. But tho girl had far too ntuch to think about to feel any concern ovor tho moro dnm- ago nnd destruction of things. It was rather a rollof to find something that called for work. Catching sight of a bit of whlto down among tho bamboos, alio wont to it, nnd wns not n llttlo surprised to sco tho tntterod remnant of hor duck skirt, it had evidently been torn from tho signal staff by tho first gust of tho cyclono, whlrlod down Into tho cloft by somo flaw or eddy In tho wind, and wadded so tightly Into tho heart of tho tjilck clump of stoma that all tho fury of tho storm had failed to dlslodgo It. Its recovery Boomed to tho gtrl a special provldonco; for of courso they must keep up n Bignal on tho cliff. Having Btarted hor llro and sot on a stow, sho hunted out her nowlng mn tcrlals from their crovlco in tho cavo and began mending tho slits In tho torn flag. Whllo alio worked sho sat on u shndod lodge, hor bnro feet toast lug in tho sun, and hor soggy, mud smeared moccasins drying within roach. When Dlnko uppcarod, tho moccasins woro still whero sho had llrst sot thorn, but the llttlo pink foot woro Bnfely tuckod up boncnth tho tattered flag. Fortunately, tho sight ot tho whlto cloth provented Blako from noticing tho moccasins. "Hello!" ho oxelnlmed. "What's that? tho ling? Say, that's luckl I'll break out n bamboo right off. Old staff's carried clean away' "Mr. Blako Just a moment, pleaso. What huvo you dono with with it?" r Blnko Jorkcd his thumb upward. "You havo carried him up on tho cliff?" "Best plnco I could think ot. No animals and I piled atones ovor But, I say, look hero." Ho draw nut n plcco of wadded cloth, marked oft into llttlo squares by crossing lluos of stitches. On rr Rushed Off So Suddenly." tho squares near tho edgo had been ripped open. Blako thurst In his fin ger and workod out nn emerald tho slzo of n largo pea. "O-h-hl" cried MIbb Leslie, as ho hold tho glittering gem out to her in Ills rough palm. Ho drow it back and carefully thrust It tigaln Into Its pocket. "That's ono," ho Bald. "Thero's an other In ovory aquaro of this Innocent, harmless rag dozens of them. IIo must havo mado u clean sweep of tho duko's or, moro llko, tho duchess' Jowols. Now, If you please, I want you to bow this up tight ngaln, nnd " "I cannot I cannot touch It!" sho cried. "Say, I didn't mean to It wns con founded stupid of me," mumbled Blako. "Won't you oxcuso mo?" "Of courso! It wiib only tho tho thought that" "No wonder. I nlways am a fool when it comoa to ladles. I'll llx tho thing all right." Catching up tho nearest small pot, ho crammed tho qulltod cloth down within it, nnd filled It to tho brim with sticky mud. "Thoro! Gucas nobody's going to run off with a Jug of mud and it won't hurt tho stones till wo got a chanco to look up tho ownor. lie won't bo hard to find English duko minus a pint of first-class sparklers! Will you mind its sotting In tho cavo nftor things nro fixed up?" "No; not as It Is." Ho noddod soberly. "All right, thon. Now I'll go for tho now flag staff. You might Hot out breakfast." Sho noddod In turn, and when ho camo back from tho bamboos with tho InrgcBt of tho great canes on his shoulder, his breakfast wns waiting for him. Sho Bet It beforo him, nnd turned to go again to hor sowing. "Hold on," ho Bald. 'This won't do. You'vo got to eat your Hhure." "I do not I am not hungry." "That'B no mattor. Hero!" IIo forced upon her a bowl of hot hroth, and sho drank it because sho could not resist his rough klndnoss. Ho bolted tho Inst of his meat, nnd at onco loft hor alono to cry homelf back to calmness over tho stitching of tho signal. His first concern was for tho barrl cado. As ho had fenrod, ho found that it had been blown to ploces, Tho greater part of tho thorn branches which ho had gathorod with so much labor wcro scattered to tho four cor- ' nora of tho earth Ho Btood staring nt tho wrcckago In glum sllonco; but ho did not swear, as ho would havo dono tho wook boforo. Presently his face cleared, and ho began to whistle In a plalntlvo minor koy. Ho wns thinking of how sho had looked when Bho darted out of tho treo at his call of hor concern for him. Whon ho was so angered nt Wlnthropo, sho had callod him Tom! After a time ho started on, picking his way ovor tho romnnnt of tho bar rlcado, without a falter In his whis tling. Tho dolugo ot rnln had pourod own tho cloft In a torrent, tenting away tho root-matted soli and laying bnro tho ledges In tho channel of tho sprlug rill. But acldo from au occa- Blonal boggy hole, tho wnter drained away. At tho foot, about tho swollen pool, was a wldo stretch of rubbish nnd mud. Ho worked his way nround tho edge, nnd camo out on the plain, whero tho sandy soil was nil tho firm er for its drenching. IIo swung away at a lively clip. Tho air was fresh and puro nftor tho storm, and a slight brcozo tempered tho nun-rays. Ho kept on nlong tho cliff until ho turned the point. It was not alto gether advlsnblo to bntho nt this time of day; but ho had beon caught out by tho cyclono In n cornor of tho swamp, across tho rlvor, whero tho soil wns of clay. Only his anxiety for MIbs Losllo had enabled him to fight his way out of tho all but Impassable mornsn which the storm dolugo had made of tho half-dry swamp. At dawn ho had reached tho river, and Bwnm ncro8s, reckless of tho croco dllos. Tho turbid water of tho stream had rid him of only part of his accumulated si I mo and ooze. So now ho wnshed out his tattorcd garments as well as ho could without sonp, and whllo thoy woro drying on tho sun scorched rocks, swam about in tho clear, tonic sen-water, qulto as reck less of tho sharks as ho had been ot tho ugly crocodiles In tho river. Tor nil this, ho was back at tho baobab beforo Miss Leslie had stitched up tho last slit in the torn flag. She looked up at him, with n bravo attempt nt n smile. J. am nrrnld I'm not much of a needle-woman," eho sighed. "Look at thoso stitches!" "Don't fret. They'll hold nil right, nnd that's what wo want," ho roas surod her. "Glvo It mo, now. I've got to got It up, nnd hurry back for a imp. No sleep last night I was out beyond tho river, in tho swamp and to-night I'll have to go on ,wntch. Tho barrl- cado is down." "Oh, that Is too bad! Couldn't I tako a turn on watch?" Blako Bhook his head. "No; I'll sleep to day, and work rebuilding tho barrlcado tonight. Toward morning might build up tho fire, and tako a nap." IIo caught up tho flag and its new staff, and swung away through tho cleft. Ho roturned much sooner than Miss Lcsllo expectod, and nt onco began to throw up n small lean-to of bamboos over a ledgo nt. tho cliff foot, behind tho baobab. Tho girl thought ho was making himself n hut, in plneo of the canopy undor which ho had slept be fore tho Btorm, which, llko Win thropo's, hnd been carried away. But when ho stopped work, ho laconically informed her that all sho had to do to complete hor now houso was to dry somo leaves. "But I thought It wns Tor yourself!" she protested. "I will alcop Inside tho trco." "Doc Blako Bays no!" ho rojolncd "not till It's dried out." Sho glanced nt his fact, and ropllod, without n moment's hesitancy: "Vory well, I will do what you think host." "That's good," he said, and wont nt once to Ho down for his much needed sleep. IIo awoko Just soon enough beforo dnrk to hco tho results of her hard day'B labor. All tho provisions stored In tho tree had been brought out to dry, and n great stack of fuel, ready for burning, wns piled up ngalnst the baobab; whllo all about tho treo tho rubbish hnd been neatly gathorod to gother In henps. Blako looked his ad miration for hor Industry. But then his forehead wrinkled. "You oughtn't to vo dono so much," ho admonished. "I'll show you I can toto fair!" she rojolncd. During tho afternoon she had recalled to mind that odd expres sion ot a southern girl chum, nnd had boon waiting hor opportunity to ban ter him with it. Ho stnrod nt her opun-oyed, and laughed. "Soy. MUs Jenny, you'd bettor look out. You'll bo speaking Amorlcan, first thing!" Thereupon, thoy fell to chatting llko children out of school, each hap py to bo ublo to forgot for tho moment that brokon flguro up on tho cliff tog uml tho haunting fear of what anothci day might bring to them. Whon thoy had, eaton tholr meal. both with koon uppotltos, Blake sprang tip, with a curt "Good-night!' nnd swung off down tho cloft. Tin girl looked after him with n Hngorlng j smile, "I wish ho hadn't rushed oft so sud denly," sho murmured. "I was Juil going to thank him for for every thing!" Tho color swept over her face In i dcop blush, nnd sho darted nround tc hor tiny hut ns though somo out might havo overhonrd hor whlspor. Yot, after nil, sho had said nothing; or, at least, sho had ineroly said "ovorythlng." (TO 11H CONTINUED.) Only Onco In Awhile.
