CONNOR MANAGER Meanwhile he taught Iris how to weave a not out of the strands of an raveied cordage. With this, weighted by bullets, he contrived a casting net and caught a lot of small fish in the lagoon. Among the fish caught they hit upon two species which most re- sembled whiting and haddock, and these turned out to be very palatable and wholesome. Jenks knew a good aeal' of botany and enough about birds to differentiate between carnivorous species and those fit for human food. while the salt in their most fortunate supply of hams rendered their meals almost epicurean. From the rusty rifles on the reef Jenks brought away the bayonets. and secured all the screws bolts and other small odds and ends which might be serviceable. From the barrels he built a handy grate to facilitate Iris‘ cook- ing operations, and a careful search each morning amid the ashes of any burned wreckage accumulated a store of most useful nails fashioned in six foot letters nailed and Spliced together in sections and made from the timbers of that ill fated ves- sel. The pressing need for a safe yet ac- cessible bathing place led him and the girl to devote one afternoon to a com. plete survey of the coast line. By this time they had given names to all the chief localities. The northerly promon- tory was naturally christened North cape; the western. Europa point; the portion of the reef between their hab- itation and Palm Tree rock became Filey Brig; the other section Northwest reef. The flat sandy passage across the island, containing the cave. house and well. was named Prospect park. and the extensive stretch of sand on the southeast. with its guard of broken reefs, was at once duhhed Turtle beach when Jenks discovered that an immense number of green turtles were paying their spring Visit to the island to bury their eggs in the sand. the tall poles he needed, and for this purpose he had to again visit Palm Tree rock in order to secure the pulley. By exercising much ingenuity in devis- ing shear-legs he at last succeeded in lifting the masts into their allotted re. ceptacles, where they were firmly se- cured. Finally he was able to swing into air, high above the tops of the neighboring trees. the loftiest of which he felled in order to clear the view on all sides, the name of in ship Sirdar, '1‘ .e No began their tour of inspec- tion h; passing the scene of the first desperate struggle to escape from the dutch of the typhoon.

While traversing tho («oral strewn south beach, with its pntvhes of white soft sand lmking in the direct rays of the sun, Jenks per- m-waz traces of the turtle which swarmed in the' neighboring sea.

If you look at the smooth ri- band of water out there you will per- ceive a passage through the reef. A grmt place for sharks, Miss Deane, but no place for hathers." Rounding Europa point, the sailor‘s eyes were fixed on their immediate surroundings, but Iris gazed dreamily ahead. Heme it was that she was the At last they reached the south side, and here they at onee found them- selves in a delightfully secluded and tiny bay, sandy, tree lined, sheltered on three sides by clifl’s and rocks. “Uh,” cried Iris excitmlly, “what a lovely spot, a perfect Smugglers’ ( m 0! ’ Jenks’ unwanted ill humorâ€"for the passage of days had driven from his face all its harshness and from his tongue all its assumed bitternessâ€"- created a passing cloud until the phys- ical exertion of sermnhling over the rocks to round the North 'npe restored their normal relations. A harmless incident, a kindly and quite feminine resolve, yet big with fate for both of them. “1 on give your adxice ungraciousl, ' ” she said, “but I will adopt it 1191 ertheâ€" less.” - “Very well,” he answered, “you can gratify your wish. A tinful of fresh water from the well applied daily to its roots will quickly achieve that end.” The moroseness of his tone and man- ner surprised her. For once her quick intuition failed to divine the source of his irritation. “Oh, why did you do that?” pouted Iris. “Poor thing: it was :1 true friend in need.

Surely by this time we have exhausted the: unpleasant sur- prises of the island. Anyhow, now for a splash!” She was hardly in the water before she began to be afraid on account of Jenks. Suppose anything happened to him while she was thoughtlessly enjoy- ing herself here! So strongly did the thought possess her that she hurriedly dressed again and ran ofI'to find him. He gathered a1“! the tins he was able to carry and strode ofl', enjoining her to fire her revolver if for the slightest reason she wanted assistance, and giv- ing a parting warning that it she de- layed too long he would come and shout to her. He was engaged in fastening a num- ber of bayonets transversely to a long piece of timber. “I thought you might get into mis- chief.” she confessed. “No. On the other hand;_l am trying to make trouble for any unwelcome visitors,” he replied. “I intend to set this up in front of our cave in case we are compelled to defend ourselves against an attack by savages. W'ith this barring the way they cannot rush the position." On the nineteenth days of their rest- dence on the island the- sailor climbed, as was his invariable. habit, to. the Summit rock while Iris prepared break- fast. At this early hour the horizon was clearly cut as the rim of a- sapâ€" phire. Ila-examined the whole are of the sea with his glasses, but not a sail was in sight. According to his; calcu- lations the growing anxiety as to the fate of the Sirdar must long ere this have culminated in the dispatch from Hongkong or Singapore of in special search vessel, while British warships; in the Ghina sea would be warned to keep a. eiose lookout for any traces of the steamer, to visit all islands on their- route and to question fishermen whom they encountered. So help might come any day or it might be long deferred. He (would not pierce the tuture, and it was useless to vex his soul with ques- tionings as to what might happen next week. The great certainty of the hour was Irisâ€"the blue eyed. smiling divin- ity who had come into. his life~wait~ ing for him down there beyond the trees. waiting to welcome him with a sweet voiced greeting. and he knew, with a fierce devouring joy. that her cheek would not pale nor her lip trem- ble when he announced that at least another sun must set before the ex- pected relief reached them. It was not more than four feet deep, beautifully carpeted with sand and se~ eluded by rocks on all sides. Not the tiniest crab or fish was to be seen. It provided an ideal bath. “Mr. Jenks,” she said, “I will be with you at teatime." “Why did you return so soon? Did anything alarm you '2” Iris was overjoyed. She pointed to- ward their habitation. “What are. you doing that for?" she asked. But there were stores on board. Jenks remembered that Captain Ross’ foresight had secured the provisioning of all the ship’s boats soon after the first wild rush to steady the vessel after the propeller was lost. Masts, sails, oars, seats-all save two water casksâ€"had gone, but Jenks, with eager hands, unfastened the lockers, and here he found a good supply of tinned. meats and biscuits. They had barely recovered from the excitement of this find when the sailor noticed that be- hind the rocks on which the craft was firmly lodged lay a small natural basin full of salt water, replenished and freshencd by the spray of every gale and completely shut at from all sea- ward access. When the Sirdar parted amidships the after section fell back into the depths beyond the reef, and this boat must have broken loose from its davits and been driven ashore here by the force of the western current. Was it intact? Could they escape? Was this ark stranded on the island for their benefit? I: it were seaworthy. Whither should they; steerâ€"to those is- lands Whose blue outlines were visible on the horizon? These and :1 hundred other questlons coursed through his brain during the race over the rocks, but all such wild speculations were promptly settled when they reached the craft, for the keel and the whole of the lower tim- bers were smashed into match wood. ms: to cry m amazement: “A boat! See, there! On the rocks!” There was no mistake. A ship’s boat was perched high and dry on the north side of the cape. Even as they scrambled toward it Jenks understood how it had come there. I-Ie replaced the glasses in their case and dived into the wood. giving a pass- ing thought to the fact that the wind. after blowing steadily from the south for nearly a week. had veered round to the northeast during the night. Did the change portend a storm? Well, they were now prepared for all such eventualitles, and he had not forgot- ten that they possessed. among other treasures, a box of books for rainy days. And a rainy day with Iris for company! What gale that ever blew could ofler such compensation for en- forced idleness? The morning sped in uneventful work. Iris did not neglect her cherish- ed pitcher plant. After luncheon it was her custom now to carry a dish- ful of water to its apparently arid roots. and she rose to fulfill her self im- posed task. “Let me help you,” said Jenks. “I am not very busy this afternoon.” “No, thank you. I simply won’t al- low you to touch that shrub. The dear thing looks quite glad to see me. It drinks up the water as greedily as a thirsty animal.” Iris had been gone perhaps five min- utes when he heard a distant shriek, twice repeated. and then there came l I Jenks was watching her, watching the remaining Dyaks, from whom a spluttering volley came, picking out his quarry with the murderous ease of a terrier in a rut pit. Something like a bee in a violent hurry hummed past his ear, and a rock near his right foot was struck a tremendous blow by an unseen agency. He liked this. It would be a battle, not a battue. The fifth Dyak crumpled into the distortion of death, and then their leader took deliberate aim at the kneel- ing marksman who threatened to wipe him and his band out of existence. But his deliberation, though skillful. was too profound. The sailor fired first and was protessionally astonished. to rThm he ran with long strides not throuxh the trees, where he could see nothing. but toward the beach. whence in forty yards the place where Tris probably was would Lecome visible. At once he saw her struggling in the grasp of two ferocious looking Dyaks, one by his garments :1 person of conse- quenco, the other a lmlt naked savage, hideous and repulsive in appearance. Around them seven men armed with guns and parangs were dancing with excitement. Iris’ captors were endeavorlng to tie her arms, but she was a strong and ac- tive Englishwoman, with muscles well knit by the constant labor of recent busy days and a frame developed by years of horse riding and tennis play- ing. The pair evidently found her a tough handful, and the interior Dyak, either to stop her screamsâ€"for she was shrieking, “Robert, come to me!” with all her mightâ€"or to stifle her into sub- mission, roughly placed his huge hand over her mouth. faintly to his ears his own name, not “Jenks.” but “Robert," in the girl’s voice. Something terrible had hapo pened. It was a cryof supreme dis- tress. Mortal agony or overwhelming terror alone could wring that name from her lips. Precisely in such mo- ments this man acted with the deci- sion, the unerring judgment, the in- stantaneous acceptance of great risk to accomplish great results. that marked him out as a born soldier. He rushed into the house and snatched from the rack one of the ri- fles reposing there in apple pie order. each with a filled magazine attached and a cartridge already in position. These things the sailor noticed in- stantly. Some men, brave to rashness, ready as he to give his life to save her, would have raced madly over the inter- vening ground, scarce a turlong, and attempted a heroic combat of one against nine. Not so J enks. With the methodical exactness of the parade ground he settled down on one knee and leveled the rifle. None of the Dyaks saw him. All were intent on the sensational prize In the grasp of two ferocious looking. Ducks. they had secured, a young and beautiâ€" ful. white woman so coutentedly roam- ing about the shores of this fetish is- land. With the slow Speed advised by the Roman philosopher the back sight and tore sight of the. rifle came into line with the breast of the course brute clutching the girl’s face. see the gaudily attired individual tossed violently backward for many yards. finally pitching headlong to the earth. Had he been charged hr. a bull Then something hit him above the heart and simultaneously tore half of his back into tragments. He fell, with a queer sob, and the others turned to face this unexpected danger. Again and yet again the rifle gave its short, sharp snarl. and two more Dyaks collapsed on the sand. Six were left, their leader being still uncon- sciously preserved from death by the figure of the flying girl. A fourth Dyak dropped. The survivors, cruel savages, but not cowards. unslung their guns. The sail- or, white faced, grim, with an unpleas- ant gleam in his deep set eyes and a lower jaw protruding, noticed their preparations. lris heard him and strove to obey. but her strength was failing her, and she staggered blindly. After a few de. spairing efforts she lurched feebly to her knees and tumbled face downward on the broken coral that had tripped her faltering footsteps. Iris, knowing only that she was free from that hateful grasp, wrenched her- self free from the chief’s hold and ran with all her mlght along. the beach to Jenks and. safety. “To the left!” he shouted. “Run to- ward the trees!” You Take We Guarantee Them to Care or Your Money Cheerfully Ref -nded.

He coolly prepared to slay the three of them with the same calm purpusr; that distinguished the opening phase of this singularly one sided conflict. The distance was much greater, perâ€" haps $0 yards from the point where the boat came into view. He knelt and fired. He judged that the missile struck the craft between the trio. A hurrying step on the coral behind him caught his ear. Instantly he sprang up and faced aboutâ€"to see Iris. “They are escaping," she said. “No fear of that.” he replied, turning away from her. “Where are the others?” _ “Dead!" “Do you mean that you killed nearly all those men?” “Six of them. There were nine In all." He was right. As they came out into the open he saw three men, not two. pushing off a large sampan. One of them was the chief. Then Jenks un- derstood that his bullet had hit the lock of the Dyak’s uplifted weapon. with the result already described. By a miracle he had escaped. “I didn’t allow for the sun on the side of the fore sight," he said, “or per~ haps I am a hit shaky after the run. In any event they can’t go far." She heard him wonderingly. Was he going to leave her, now that he had her safely clasped to his breast? Im- possible! Ah, she understood. Those men must have landed in a boat. lie Intended to attack them again. He was going to fight them single handed, and she would not know what Immen- ed to him until it was all over. (mul- ually her vitality returned. She almost smiled at the fantastic conceit that she would desert him. Jenks placed her on her feet at the entrance to the cave. “You understand.” he cried, and with- out waiting tor an answer ran to the». house for another rifle. This time. to her amazement, he darted hack thruugh Prospect park toward the south beach. The sailor knew that the Dyaks had landed at the sandy bay Iris had chris- tened Smugglers’ cove. They were :10- qualnted with the passage through the reef and came from the distant islands Now they would endeavor to esvape by the same channel. They must be prevented at all costs. “You are not hurt?” he gaspul. his eyes blazing into her face with m in tensity that she afterward rememlmred as appalling. “No," she whispered. “Listen," he continued in labored jerks. “Try and obey theâ€"exactly. 1 will carry youâ€"to the cave. Stop there. Shoot any one you seeâ€"till I come." Yet another member of the band was prostrated ere the two as yet unscath- ed thought fit to beat a retreat. This they now did with celerity, but they dragged their chief with them. It was no part of Jenks’ programme to allow them to escape. He aimed again at the man nearest the trees. There was a sharp click and nothing more. The cartridge was a misiire. He hastily nought to eject it, and the rifle jammed. Springing to his feet, with a yell, he ran forward. The flying men caught a glimpse of him and accelerated their movements. Just as he reached Iris they vanished among the trees. Slingmg the rifle over his shoulder. he picked up the girl In his arms.
