Two months? . . ." she repeat- ed. Her words were dull, lifeless. Drearily she resumed her Ir.bei. They continued working throughout the night. Shortly after dawn the puffing Schwartz reiurned from his quest. He fished we:.rily as he plod- ded up to Eliso. "I haf found some men. Fraultin Murberry. Hut vot a night haf 1 had. Un.l vot men. Der jrood men vill. not come. They haf their homes heie now and they do not wish to leave. So I must take der rascals, der loafers, der on?s who dy not work other dayr, and who come. Supplies were collected and loaded upon the backs of eight mules which were to accompany the men until too great stretches of water made their use impossible. From her fazenda at Villapa Elise obtained a second canoe, r.lso of can- vas, lor tho native boats were little better than dugouts and so heavy and cumbersome as to bo almost im- pusMlile of transportation over the land. About two o'clock in the afternoon, two hours later than the time which had been set for their appearance, the natives who were to accompany the tl.ree Americans began to straggle in. Laziness was evident in the sleepy, drooping faces of some; callou-m---, Irutality in the visages of manv. Two half-breeds, almost albinos, with thick mouths and snow-white hair covering their small animal heads, Nunnally thought appeared dangerous. Three Indians, tall, tawny, almost naked, towered over their com- panions. The newcomers liejran leis- urely to assist in loading the animals. At three o'clock Atabapo, the guide, arrived. Tall like the other Indians, he had more of the Mongolian charac- teristics which have led anthropolo- gists to be certain that the Indian is merely a development of the Mongols Vilak, sitting at the tire to keep wateh, was left alone. r.Mv unly becau < VMI pay them so lulled mm."

Pan log on the first expedition had re- belled. Tho white man began to in- spect the mules cargoes and transfer anything which might be injured by water to the canoes. The natives glanced apprehensively at the other side of the stream, and began muttering. Paulos put a quick end to the possibility of a mutiny by plunging in and swimming swiftly to the other shore. Tho others laughed, tho grumbling ceased. The white men, Elise and four of the natives clambered into one canoe, the remaining nine blacks and Indians, into the other. They started across the stream, some paddling, gome hold- ing the swimming mules by the bridles. As they neared the land the huge alligators basking in the mud crawled oil' sluggishly into the water, frightened at their numbers. They unloaded the canoes, replaced the burdens on the backs of the mules, then set off once more. The trail con- tinued uninterruptedly through the forest. As the caravan pierced deeper and deeper into the wildernes-., Elise's spirits somewhat bright""^!. "You look better," ' ilak b. '-1. "I an,. I've been thinking. 7he forced herself to smile. "If I let my- self go, if I stopped to ... remember . . . I'd . . . break down again . . . 'But I'm not going to ... I'm not . . . I realize it would only hinder you. Only . . . delay us. You're doing everything you can . . . everything . . . I'm not going to make it harder for you by looking mournful all day long." "Good scout,'' ho answered and pressl her hand. (To be continued.) The Poppies Are Asleep The popples are anleep now Upon the lonely bill, With petals rolled about them, Their dancing measures still; Hid In the coc! g:ccn grasses, Deep in the night's full shade, Dreaming of sunlit spaces Snugly and unafraid. Dreaming of wandering breezes That whisper many things,, When noon Is at its fullness And birds are on light wings; When day Is at its fairest With laughter in the streams The poppies are asleep now And mirthful are their dreams.

But a recent survey of the injuries listed in claims under workmen's compensation insurance reveals that even the decorative daffodil, a timor- ous mouse, or the wind at tho Battery wall may mean months in a hospital for the victim. Says the New York corrosixmdent of the Boston Herald: "Oddly acquired injuries rome to liKlit frequently through the claims work of the New York State insurance fund, which Is the largest carrier of compensation insurance in the State. A perusal of the claim tile* at the homo ollice discloses that hidden perils often beset the most innocent- appearing circlim.-lances.
