Near the blazing fire stood Croft. His hands hung loosely at his sides; his gaze was fixed upon the distant, heaving water. At the sound of the girl's hurrying steps, lie turned quickly. **A ship I" he announced briefly. "Is It coming?" "No." . , Silently they looked at each other: the man Inscrutable as ever, the girl clasping and unclasping her hands, her lips a little tremulous. In the turmoil of her emotions, she sank upon the ground at last, and buried her head In her hands. Croft looked at her, his own feelings In much the same chaotic state. The hope of once again playing the part among his fellowmen--dear to a man of action--of achieving the ambitions ruthlessly destroyed at the very moment of attainment, had been raised and dashed almost simultaneously. But in that same moment he faced the full knowledge of what all this Edenlike existence meant to him--the immensity of his increasing hopes, bittersweet In their uncertainty. And, as the flames ascended, he faced abruptly the probable termination of It all! - He controlled, but not without difficulty. the emotions rioting within his heart, when those tense few minutes, fraught with so much meaning--such crucial pages in the Book of Fate--relaxed. When the far-off spiral of smoke faded into the clouds, as the distant vessel vanished, he leaped upon a bowlder and threw his arms wide. The gesture might have been a welcome to freedom, or an acquiescence in the inevitable; in either case it savored of ' "kismet. lie turned suddenly toward her. "I am sorrv." he said. "I feared It would upspt you--today." "Why to^lav?" she asked curiously. A look of Incredulity crept Into his face. "It Is December twentieth. Wasn't that to be your wedding day?" She sank hack, staring at him blank- T. Twice" she opened ber lips to speak, >ut no words came. At last, slowly, she turned her gaze seaward. "It was !" she murmured- "I--had-- forgotten." Again her head dropped into her hands. Low as the words were, he heard them. A wild Joy flashed through him. Because he dared not trust himself or his voice, he left her--dashing, with throbbing pulse, toward the palm grove. Was there a singing in the air around, aa If every bird upon the island had mistaken coming night for the dawn, or was It the inward song of his heart? For long Barbara sat where he had left her, without looking up. though knowing that she was alone. She faced her shrinking soul for the first time; the beacon burned itself out beside her; the sun sank lazily In a sky aflame. Until today she had taken for granted the supposition that, underneath the growing enchantment of this land, the craving fcr Hugh and rescue still predominated. . . . Full of shame, jhe realized tills supposition to, have been but a bubble burst at this first test. She understood, with a sense of shock, the small space now occupied by Hugh in her thoughts. Yet--he seemed, iu memory, as dear as ever. Tears brimmed in her eyes: she realized, at last,, how tliis* very dearness proved Us vast separation from love. and white and altogether womanly. Instead of the blouse and old skirt. He stopped abruptly; then with rather grim lips, smiled. "So we returned to civilisation In spirit, if not In fact?^ His uncanny knacp of reading her motives caused her to give him, as usual, the swift deep-sea glimpse which he sought. "Alan. I want to tell you something." "What Is It?" he asked, breathing quickly at what he saw In her eyes. "I saw a shark today. And." hurriedly. "I--oh. Alan! I realized all you have done for roie, all you have risked and spared me--" "All my invisible halo.

"I can do so little In turn to make things tolerable for you here," she went on. In the warmth of her heart. "Your life was so full--" He loked round again quickly. "No fuller than yours with the man you--" "Ah" she Interrupted passionately. "Don't 1 I--know." Her voice went Into silence. For a long time he snt watching the dark ness creep swiftly over the water. A fierce craving for advice, Sympathy even disapproval, so long as she could unburden her agitated mind, mastered the girl. She took one of her old Impulsive plunges." "I am so troubled !* Hie exclaimed suddenly. "Tell me Just what Is troubling you," he answered, hla voice softening. "Loneliness?" The <;lasp of hie fingers Encouraged confidence. ' - "No, no! This wild life, this lovely Island, s£em to creep up and up, engulfing me, so that I--dread the thought of the old restricted existence.

"That's the trouble; don't you see? I don't know why, but I am. I was even glad when the ship didn't corn.^ tonight! It's Just as if there's some spirit In this Island which--draws one up and up-- Do you think me utterly heartless?** He laughed again; and she wondered at the exultant ring 6f It. "I think you're a goose--waking upl Have you only Just realized the-- 'spirit'--on the island?" Then he became serious. "How could your uti« happiness help those in England? They have long ago given us up for dea<JBesldes, no forced emotions are worth anything." .. "No. That's the chief point: they shouldn't need to be forced. Hugb-r once--called me heartless--" He drew her hands downward,~pall- Ing her up close behind him. "I'm going»to tulk quite straight, Barbara. 1 gather the rej^ fact is-- you are not fretting for--Hugh?" She made no reply; but the fingers In his closed spasmodically. He went on, his voice low, and deeply eacnest. "Love can be forced least of all. If circumstances combine to prove that mistakes have been made, It Is no good struggling against the knowledge! However painful. It Is better thqn a lifetime of vain regret. One of the cruelest tragedies in this funny old world Is the ease with which such mistakes can be made--unconsciously--all in good faith." He turned his face upward and caught the glint of tears in her eyes. "Ah my dear! Don't take It so much to heart." She gave a strangled little sob. "He --cared. Hugh will ever be--faithful. He Is the truest--" "Yes I know; one of the very best. But marriage with him wouldn't have satisfied your nature. You know that." " O i l s h e c r i e d s t a r t l e d . " B u t I §hall still marry him--If we get rescued. - Please «don't think me so disloyal as all that!" He smiled over this third unconscious appeal for his good opinion. "D'you call It loyal, then, to carry out a compact when the very motive upon which It was founded has proved an illusion? You would be living a lie all your life--unfair to you .both. Surely lie wouldn't wish It?" "Barbara," he said softly, "the love of man and woman is not fondness." She could not speak. Her heart seeined to rise in her throat and throb there; her limbs trembled. In sudden panic she tried to free her hands, her womanhood realizing his manhood as it had never consciously done before. The Instinct of the wild bird to flee and hide was hers. Her turmoil communicated Itself to him. In that vibrant silence. He looked up into her face, seeing there what he had but glimpsed on the night In the natives' t»uf. "Barbara!" lie whispered shakily, "Barbara! Be true to yourself--" With u little cry, she wrenched her hands free. As he sprang to hla feet she turned, and, without a word, fled i n t o t h e h u t . . . . He stood still for a minute; then he drew » quick unsteady breath, and strode to the shore, to pace up and down up and down far _ Into the night. . . .' Barbara lay awake throughout long hours facing in terrible isolation the great question of sex. What she had dimly realized and vaguely feared, since that revealing moment during their visit to the natives, now loomed up In Its naked reality to alter the whole aspect of their life here together. She faced the true position: realized clearly that she and this man were cut adrift from all the safety of other human companionship, all the restraints of civilization, with this terrible, eternal attraction now menacing them. Escape from it was impossible. She understood now the nature of the abyss yawning below the precipice which had threatened her of late. This new knowledge Illumined the past, even to the strange magnetic attraction. SLEEPS IN FURNACE, BURNED TO DEATH lb •Turned' and Fled Into tin Hill half-fear. In the early days of their acquaintance. It terrified her, shaking her confidence. Her one shield and protector In all they had faced now appeared In the light of the enemy against whom she had no ally ! When she remembered the close clasp of his hands, the pressure of his head upon her breast, her pulse throbbed and hqr face burned. It must quit, she told herself repeatedly: this delightful, Impossible tenderness between them must be stopped at once. She must resolutely hide her womanhood. showing nothing but the sexless comrade! As soon as the soft light of dawn had entered the tiny room, she rose. Taking her scissors, she cut through handful after handful of her long thick hair, wasting no regrets upon the luxuriant tresses piling rourtd her bare feet. So far, so good! But It happened that Barbara's heart remained unshorn of its sex, with all Its natural tendency to look well. When the hair wa« cut short to her neck, she hesitated; picked up the diminutive mirror; laid it down: picked up the scissors; hesitated again--then laid them down, and gave her head a vehement shake. The short waves and curls, free from all restraint, followed their own sweet will, waving p4quantly around her small head, clustering about her ears. . . . Alan stood In the outer doorway," watching a bird preening Its brfeht plumage on a rock. He turned In surprise at her early appearance; but the words of greeting died upon hla Ups. . ... _ The next few days were strangely happy. The faint chance of rescue caused their little hut to seem dearer, the wild free life more enchanting. The spirits of both had never been so high. Barbara, having conquered the sex problem with such sublime simplicity, cast It from her mind, surrendering herself wholly to the engrossing happiness of the moment. That her very subterfuge, proving all It did, had been the death-knell to her object, never entered her head. ' On Christmas eve they collected armfule of greenery, the girl clinging with unconscious pathos to the old customs In which she had been reared. "Ah!" she cried lnconsequently. "Isn't It all--beautiful?" "What?" he asked, yet knowing full well. "Oh--everything! Christmas--here! Freedom from Mr. Home!" She sprang upon a suitcase, trails of vine In her hands, anl laughed down at him. He came close to her, the same ecstasy lurking in his own eyes. *1 wonder If you realize all you hav* implied?" * * "What?" She looked startled. «*. " She turned away, and fasten<sll"% vine tendril to the bamboo. He watched her silently, noticing the change wrought In her by these past months. The wild-rose air had vanished: in Its stead the warm blood flowed red beneath a sunburned skin; her feet were brown and hardened. Yet, where the depths were concerned, remained the old timidity which was, paradoxically, her greatest lure and protection. One false step and she would, he knew, be "off on the wing," scared as a young partridge. But Alan's small store of patience had been drained to the last dregs. Finishing the decoration, she paused beside him, considering the effect. Ferns and palm leaves swayed In the corners; trailing greenery decorated walls and roof; flowers stood upon the «abin table Cozy, isn't Itr* she asked, looking up for his approval. Very cozy!" he replied, looking only It her. "What a little home-maker yon lire.** She flushed, and again turned hastily tway. "We'll hang this remaining vine over the entrance, outside. Will you bring %he suitcases?" Me carried out the substitute for a ladder; and up she sprang. Deftly, with the art of experience, she caught the trailing foliage up here, letting It fiang In clusters there. "And that middle cluster?** asked Alan, beside her. "Is that for mistletoe?" Her head rose quickly, as that of a young deer scenting danger. With quick glance down at him, she stretched out her hand toward the bunch; but he put up a long arm to prevent its removal. And, in a flash, all the security Jof the past days fell to ruins. For, while she strove again to seize the vine leaves, the suitcases overbalanced, and she toppled down upon him. He caught her and held her. He clasped her close to a thumping heart and buried his face in her hair, For a moment she lay Inert; then she began to struggle, gasping, sob bins. But his self-control was going. His grip became fierce; she felt his hot breath upon her neck.

Tlie tragedy took place In a dense forest surrounding the village, the vtctim. Candido Martinez, fifty, having encountered the bear while separated from his hunting companion. The latter heard his cries for help, the barking of his dogs and several shots, and found Martinez on the ground, his flesh terribly torn In several places and his ribs crushed. He had only time before he died to tell thfit he had been attacked by an ant bear. Instances of an ant bear attacking a man are very rare. Ant bears are known to kill the Jaguar, when attacked by it, by crushing it between it's powerful forelegs and chest, but its main interest In life Is eating ants, destroying their hills with Its long fox-like snout. For this reason It Is regarded by settlers as a useful animal. It is thought in this Instance the bear was attacked by the dogs and turned at bay, attacking the «phea he tried to save thfe dogs. . ..
