To save time, therefore, he carried his mining tools Into tho open, placed In position the cheval do frlso long since constructed for the defense of tho entrance, and poured water over tho remains of the lire. This was his final care each night before stretching his weary limbs on his couch of branches. It caused delay In the morning, but he neglected no .,rcc,uitlon, and there was a possible cimm.0 0f the Dynks falling to discover the eagle's nest If they were persuad ed by other Indications that the Island was deserted. He entered tho hut and was In the net of pulling off his boots when a dis- tant shot rang sharply through the air. It was magnified tenfold by the In- tense silence. Kor a few seconds, that scorned to bo minutes, ho listened, cher ishing the quick thought that perhaps sands. A sputtering volley, which bis trained ear recognized as the lliing of muzzle loaders, sounded the death knell of his last hope. The Dyaks had landed! Coming si lently anil mysteriously in the i.uul ul! night, they were themselves the vie (ms of a stratagem they desi"iiod to employ. Instead of taking the occu pants of Rainbow Island unawares they were startled at being greeted by a shot the moment they landed. The nlarmed savages at once retaliated by firing their antiquated weapons point blank at the trees, thus giving warning enough to wake the seven sleeper. Iris, fully dressed, was out In a mo ment. "They have come!" she whispered. "Yes," was the cheery answer, for Jenks face to face with danger was a very different man from Jenks wres tling with the Insidious attacks of Cu pid. "Up the ladder! Be lively! They will not be hero for half an hour If they kick up such u row at the first dilllcul ty. Still, wo will take no risks. Cast down those spare lines when you reach tho top and haul away when I say 'Ready! You will find everything to hand up there." He held the bottom of tho ladder to steady It for the girl's climb. Soon her voice fell, like n message from a star: "All right! Please Join me soon!" The colled up ropes dropped along the face of tho rock. Clothes, pick, hatchet, hummer, crowbars and other useful odds and ends were swung away Into the darkness, for tho moon as yet did not Illumine the crag. The sailor darted Into Belle Vue castle and kicked their leafy beds about tho floor. Then ho slung all the rifles, now live In num ber, over his shoulders and mounted tbo rope ladder, which, with tbo spare cords, he drew up and colled with careful method. to be continued.

Tho especial characteristic of thu Irish peasants, according to Frank Mathew, in "Ireland," Is an old fash ioned courtesy. They are all sure, ho asserts, that they are descended from chiefs, and their manners are ruled ac cordingly.

I,ow nn American iiecnnic n sinn of .Marie In ItiiNMlu. Andrew I). White's first diplomatic experience was as an attache at St. Petersburg at the time of the Crimean war. The war brought to Russia many American adventurers. "One mini who came out with superb plans," Mr. White says, "brought a militia colonel's commission tuul the full uni form of a major general. At first he hesitated to clothe himself In all his glory, and therefore went through u process of evolution, beginning first with part of his uniform, and then adding more as his courage rose. "During this process ho became the standing joke of St. Petersburg, but later, when he had emerged In full nnd llnal splendor, he became a man of murk; indeed, so much so that serious dlllicultles arose. Throughout the city are various corps do garde, and the sentinel on duty before each of these, while allowed merely to present arms to an ofllcor of lower rank, must, whenever ho catches sight of a gen eral ofllcor, call out the entire guard to present arms, with the heating of drums. "Here our American was a source of much dllllculty, for whenever any sen tinel caught sight of Ills gorgeous epaulets In the dlstanoe the gu.ii'd was Instantly called, arms were presented nnd drums beaten, much to the de light of our A'icud, but even more to the disgust of the generals of the Rus sian army and to the troops, who thus rendered absurd homage and found themselves taking part In something like a bit of comic opera."
