SYNOPSIS.
The story opens with the shipwreck of
the steamer on which Miss Genevieve
Leslie, an American heiress. Ixrd Wln
thrope. an Englishman, and Tom Blake,
a brusque American, were pabsenKcrs.
The three were tossed upon an uninhab
ited island and were thy only ones not
drowned. Blake recovered from a drunk
en stupor. Blake, tdiunned on the boat,
because of his roughness, became a hero
us preserver of the helpless pair. The
Englishman was Milns for the hand of
Miss Leslie. Blake started to swim back
to the ship to recover what was left
Blake returned safely. Winthrope wasted
his last match on a cigarette, for which
he was scored by Blake. Their first meal
was a dead lish. The trio started "a. ten
mile hike for lifehur land. Thirst at
tacked them. Blake was compelled to
carry Miss Leslie on account of weari
ness. He taunted Winthrope. They en
tered the jungle. That ulaht was passed
roosting high In a tree. The next morn
ing they descended to the open again.
All three constructed hats to shield them
selves from the sun. They then feasted
on coroanuts. the only procurable food.
Miss Leslie showed a liking for Blake,
but detested his roughness. Led by Blake
they established a home In wme clifLs.
Blake found a fresh water spring. Miss
Leslie faced an unpleasant situation.
They planned their campaign. Blake re
covered h's surveyor's magnifying glass,
thus insuring fire. He started a jungle
fire, killing a large leopard and smoth
ering several cubs. In the leopard's cav
ern thev built a small home. They gained
the cliffs by burning the bottom of a
tree until It fell against the heights. The
trio secured eggs from the cuffs.
Miss Leslie's white skirt was decided
upon as a signal. Miss Ieslle made a
dress from the leopard skin. Blake s ef
forts to kill antelopes failed. Overhear
ing a conversation between Blake and
Winthrope. Miss Leslie became fright
ened. Winthrope became ill -with fever.
Blake was poisoned by a fish. Jackals
attacked the camp that night, but were
driven off bv Genevl'-ve. Blake returned,
after nearly" dving. Blake constructed an
animal trap. It killed a hyena. On a tour
the trio discovery! honey and oysters.
CHAPTER XVI. Continued.
"Would it not be best for Mr. Win
thrope to rest during the noon hours?"
"'Fraid not Miss Jenny. We're not
on t'other side or Jordan yot, and
there's no rest for the weary this
side."
"What odd expressions you us Mr.
Blake!"
"Just giving you the reverse applica
tion of one of those songs they jolly
us with in the mission churches "
"I'm sure, Mr. make"
"Me, too, Miss Jenny! So, as that's
settled, we'll be moving. Chuck some
live coals in the pot, and come on."
lie started off, weapons in hand.
Winthrope made a languid effort to
take possession of the pot But Miss
Leslie pushed him aside, and wrap
ring all in the antelope skin, slung it
upon her back.
"The brute!" exclaimed Winthrope.
"To leave such a load for you, when
he knew that I can do so little!"
The girl met his outburst with a
brave attempt at a smile. "Please try
to look at the bright side, Mr. Winthrope-
Really. I believe he thinks it
Is best for us to exert ourselves."
"He has other opinions with which
we of the cultured class would hardly
agree. Miss Leslie. Consider his com
mand that we shall go thirsty until
he permits us to return to the cliffs.
The man's impertinence is intoler
able. I shall go to the river and drink
when I choose."
"Oh, but the danger of malaria!"
"Nonsense. Malaria, like yellow
fever, comes only from the bite of
certain species of mosquitoes. If wo
have the fever, it will be entirely his
fault We have been bitten repeated
ly this morning, and all because he
must compel us to come with him to
this infected lowland."
"Still, I think we should do what
Mr. Blake says."
"My dear Miss Genevieve, for your
sake I will endeavor not to break with
the fellow. Only, you' know, it is
deuced hard to keep one's temper
when one considers what a bounder
what an unmitigated cad "
"Stop! I will not listen to another
v.ord!" exclaimed the girl, and she
hurried after Blake, leaving Win
thrope staring in astonishment
"My word!" he muttered: "can it
he, after all I've done and him, of all
the low fellow "
He stood for several moments in
deep thought The look on his sallow
face was far from pleasant
CHAPTER XVII.
The Serpent Strikes.
HEX Winthrope came un
with the others, they were
gathering green leaves to
throw on the fire which was blazing
close "beside the ant-hill.
"Get a move on you!" called Blake.
"You're slow. Grab a bunch of leaves,
and get into the smoke, if you don't
want to be stuiig."
Winthrope neither gathered any
leaves nor hurried himself, until he
was visited by a highly irritated bee.
Then he obeyed with alacrity. Blake
was far too intent on other matters
to heed the Englishman. Leaping in
and out of the thick of the smoke, he
pounded the ant-hill with his club, un
til he had broken a gaping hole into
the cavity. The smoke, pouring inti
the hive, made short work of the bees
that'had not already been suffocate'd.
Although the antelope skin was
drawn into the shape of a sack, both
it and the pot were filled to overflow
ing with honey, and there were still
mere combs left than the three could
eat
Blake caught Winthrope smiling
with satisfaction as he licked his fin
gers. "What's the matter with my expe
dition now, old man?" he demanded.
"I ah must admit, Blake, we have
had a-most enjoyable change of food."
"If you are sure it will agree with
you," reniarked Miss Leslie.
"But I am sure of that Miss Gene
vieve. I could digest anything to-day.
I'm fairly ravenous."
"AH the more reason to be lareful,"
rejoined Blake. "I guess, though,
what we've had'll do no harm. "We'll

"Told You So!
let it settle a bit, here in the shade,
and then hit the home trail."
"Could we not first go to the river,
Mr. Blake? My hands are dreadfully
sticky."
"Win will take you. It's only a lit
tle way to the bank here and there's
not much underbrush."
"If you think it's quite safe " re
marked Winthrope.
"It's safe enough. Go on. You'll
see the river in half a minute. Only
thing, you'd better wateh out for alli
gators." "I believe that or properly speak
ing, these are crocodiles."
"You don't say! Heap of difference
it will make if one gets you."
Miss Leslie caught Winthrope's eye.
He turned on his heel, and led the
way for her through the first thicket.
Beyond this they came to a little glade
which ran through to the river. When
they reached the bank, they stepped
cautiously down the muddy slope, and
bathed their hands in the clear water.
As Miss Leslie rose, Winthrope bent
over and began to drink.
"Oh, Mr. Winthrope!" she ex
claimed; "please don't! In your weak
condition, I'm so afraid "
"Do not alarm 5'ourself. I am per
fectly well, and I am quite as compe
tent to judge what Is good for me as
your ah countryman."
"Mr. Winthrope, I am thinking only
of your own good."
Winthrope took another deep
draught rinsed his fingers fastidious
ly, and arose.
"My dear Miss Genevieve," he ob
served, "a woman looks at these mat
ters in such a different light from a
man. But you should know that there
are some things a gentleman cannot
tolerate."
"You were welcome to all the water
in the flask. Surely with that you
could have waited, if only to please
me."
i "Ah, if you put it that way, I must
beg pardon. Anything to please you,
' I'm sure! Pray forgive me, and for
get the incident. It is now past" j
"I hope so!" she murmured; but her
heart sank as she glanced at his sal-1
low face, and she recalled his languid,
feeble movements.
Piqued by her look, Winthrope
started hack through the glade. Miss
Leslie was turning to follow, when
she caught sight of a gorgeous crim
son blossom under the nearest tree. It
was the first flower she had seen since
being shipwrecked. She uttered a lit-
tie cry of delight, and ran to pluck the
blossom.
Winthrope, glancing about at her
exclamation, saw her stoop over the
flower and in the same instant he I
; saw a huge, vivid coil, all black and 1
green and yellow, flash up out of the '
bedded leaves and strike against the
girl. She staggered back, screaming
with horror, yet seemed unable to run.
Winthrope swung up his stick, and
dashed across the jjlade toward her.
"What is It a snake?" he cried.
The girl did not seem to hear him.
She had ceased screaming, and stood
rigid with fright, glaring down at the
ground before her. In a moment Win
thrope was near enough to make out
the brilliant glistening body, now ex
tended full length in the grass. It was
rearly five feet long and thick as his
thigh. Another step, and he saw the
hideous triangular head, lifted a few
inches on the thick neck. The cold
eyes were fixed upon the girl in a
malignant, deadly stare.
"Snake! snake!" he yelled, and
thrust his cane at the reptile's tail.
Again came a flashing leap of the
beautiful omate coil, and the stick
was struck from Winthrope's hand.
He danced backward, wild with ex
citement "Snake! Hi, Blake! monster!
See Him Wriggle!"
Run, Miss Leslie! I'll hold him I'll
get another stick!"
He darted aside to catch up a
branch, and then ran In and struck
boldly at the adder, which reared
hissing to meet him. But the blow
fell short, and the rotten wood shat
tered on the ground. Again Win
thrope ran aside for a stick. There
was none near, and as he paused to
glance about, Blake came sprinting
down the glade.
"Where?" he shouted.
"There Hi! look out! You'll be on
him!"
Blake stopped short, barely beyond
striking distance of the hissing rep
tile. "Wow!" he yelled. "Puff adder!
Ill fix him."
He leaped back, and thrust his bow
at the snake. The challenge was met
by a vicious lunge. Even where he
stood Winthrope heard the thud of the
reptile's head upon the ground.
"Now, once more, tootsie!" mocked
Blake, swinging up his club.
Again the adder struck at the bow
Up, more viciously than before. With
the flash of the stroke, Blake's right
foot thrust forward, and his club
came down with all the drive of his
sinewy arm behind It Tho blow fell
across the thickest part of the adder's
outstretched body.
"Told you so! See him wiggle!"
shouted Blake. "Broke his back, first
lick What's tho matter, Miss Jen
ny? He can't do anything now."
Miss Leslie did not answer. She
stood rigid, her faco ashy-gray, her
dilated eyes fixed upon the writhing,
hissing adder.
"I think the snake struck her!"
gasped Winthrope, suddenly overcome
with horror.
"God!" cried Blake. He dropped his
club, and rushed to the girl. In a mo
ment he had knelt before and flung
up her leopard-skin skirt Her stock
ings ripped to shreds in his frantic
grasp. There, a little below her right
knee, was a tiny, red wound. Blake
put his .lips to it, and sucked with
fierce energy.
Then the girl found her voice.
"Go away go away! How dare
you!" she cried, as her face flushed
scarlet
Blake turned, spat, and burst out
with a loud demand of Winthrope:
"Quick! the little knife I'll have to
slash it! Ten times worse than a rat-

At a recent New York wedding the
guests were more than amazed at the
display of presents. Five rooms were
filled with the costliest jewelry, bric-1

"Let go of me let go! What do you
mean, sir?" cried the girl, struggling
to free herself.
!'Hold still, you little' fool!" he
shouted. "It's death sure death, if
I don't get the poison from that bite!"
"I'm not bitten Let go, I say! It
struck in the fold, of 'my skirt" "
"For God's sake, Jenny, don't He!
It's certain death! I saw the mark "
"That was a. thorn. I drew it out
an hour ago."
Blake looked up into her hazel eyes.
They were blazing with indignant
scorn. He freed her, and rose with
clumsy slowness. Again he glanced
at her quivering, scarlet face, only to
look away with a sheepish expression.
"I guess you think I'm , Just a
damned meddlesome' idiot," be mum
bled. She did, not answer. He stood for
a little, rubbing a finger across his
sun-blistered lips. Suddenly he
stopped and looked at the finger. It
was streaked with blood.
"Whew!" he exclaimed. "Didn't
stop to think of that! It's just as well
for me, Miss Jenny, that. wasn't an ad
der bite. A little poison on my sore
lip would have done for me. Ten to
one, we'd both have turned up our
toes at the same time. Of course,
though, that'd be nothing to you."
Miss Leslie put her hands before
her face and burst into hysterical
weeping. '
Blake looked around, far 'more
alarmed than when facing the adder.
"Here, you blooming lud!" he shout
ed; "take the lady away, and be quick
about it She'll go dotty if she sees
any more snake stunts.' Clear out with
her, while I smash the wriggler."
Winthrope, who had been staring
fixedly at the beautiful coloring and
loathsome form of the writhing adder,
started at Blake's harsh command as
though struck.
"I er to be sure," he stammered,
and darting around to the hysterical
girl, he took her arm and hurried her
away up the glade.
They had gone several paces when
Blake came running up behind them.
Winthrope looked back with a glance
of inquiry. Blake shook his head.
"Not yet," he said. "Give me your
cigarette case. I've thought of some
thing Hold on: take out the cigar-
hettes. Smoke 'em, if you like."
Case in hand, Blake returned to the
wounded adder, and picked up his
club. A second smashing blow would
have ended the matter at once; but
Blake did not strike. Instead, he
feinted with his club until he managed
to pin down the venomous head. Tho
club lay across the monster's neck,
and he held it fast with the pressure
cf his foot
When, half an hour later, he wiped
his knife on a wisp of grass and stood
up, the cigarette case contained over
a tablespdonful of a crystalline liquid.
He peered in at it, his heavy jaw
thrust out, his eyes glowing with sav
age elation.
"Talk about your meat trusts and
Winchesters!" he exulted; "heres a
whole carload of beef in this little box
enough dope to morgue a herd of
steers. Good God, though, that was a
close shave for her!"
His face sobered, and he stood for
several moments staring thoughtfully
into space. Then his gaze chanced
to fall upon the great crimson blossom
which had so nearly lured the girl to
her death.
"Hello!" he exclaimed; "that's an
amaryllis. Wonder if she wasn't com
ing to pick it " He snapped shut the
lid of the cigarette case, thrust it
carefully into his shirt pocket, and
stepped forward to pluck the flower.
"Makes a fellow feel like a kid; but
maybe it'll make her feel less sore at
me."
He stood gazing at the flower for
several moments, his eyes aglow with
a soft blue light
"Whew!" he sighed; "if only But
what's the use? She's 'way out of my
class a rough brute like me! All the
same, it's up to me to take care of
her. She can't keep me from being
her friend and she sure can't object
to my picking flowers for her."
Amaryllis in hand, he gathered up
his bow and club. Then he paused
to study the skin of the decapitated
adder. The inspection ended with a
shake of his head.
"Better not, Thomas. It would make
a dandy quiver; but then, it might get
on her nerves."

He couldn't keep a family secret to

Carrie's presents?" he asked an old
friend two or three weeks after the
wedding. "Why, George, old fellow,
I was thunderstruck! And just think
of the hard times! There must have
been half a million dollars' worth of
stuff." George laughed. "Never
breathe it to my wife," he whispered,
"but all that vast outlay cost me only
$2,000. I hired four roomfuls for the
occasion from & Co., and we had
'em on exhibition for a week. The

A "run down condition is
generally due to the failure ef
