A last stand could he made among the bowlders on Summit rock. But of what avail to purchase their freedom until daylight? And thenâ€"â€" If ever man wrestled with desperate If ever man wrestled with desperate problem, Jenka wrought that night. He smoked and pondered until the Item passed, and, with the changeful- nm of a poet’s muse, a full moon flooded the island In glorious radiance. He rose, opened the door and stood without, looking steadily at the Dr!!- llant luminary for some time; then his eyes were attracted by the strong ligfitn thrown upon the rugged face at the precipice into which the cavern burrowed. Suddenly he uttered a star- tled exclamation. “By Jove!" he murmured. “I never noticed that before." The feature which so earnestly clalm- ed his attention was a deep ledge di- rectly over the mouth of the cave. but some forty feet from the ground. Ile- hlnd it the wall of rock sloped dark- ly Inward, suggesting a recess extend- tng by haphazard computation at least a couple of yards.

Then the sense of fair dealing that dominates every true gentleman rose within him and gripped his waver- ing emotions with ruthless force. Was his a time to play upon the high strung sensibilities of this youthful daughter of the gods, to seek to win from her a confession of love that a few brief days or weeks might prove to be only a spasmodic but momentarily all pow- erful gratitude for the protection he had given her? He described the nature of the cavity as well as he understood it at the mo- Hunt and emphasized his previous ex- planation of its virtues. Here they might reasonably hope to make a suc- 1:63:55; 1:] stand against the Dyaks. "Then you feel sure that those awful CNMUU’CS’ will come back?” she said slowly. I" And he spoke aloud, striving to laugh, lest his words should falter: “You can console yourself with the thought, Mlss Deane, that your pres- ence on the island will in no way affect my fate at the hands of the Dyaks. Had they caught me unprepared today my head would now he covered with a solution of the special varnish they carry on every foreign expedition." “And yet these men are human be- ings!‘ “For purposes of classification, yes. Keeping to strict fact, it was lucky for me that you raised the alarm and gave_ me a chance to discount the odds of mere numbers. 80, you see, you really dld me a good turn.” “What can be done now to save our lives? Anything wlll be better than to awalt another attack.” W “The first thing to do is to try to get some sleep before daylight. How did you know I was not In the castle?” “1:.

Then he perceived that the way in which the chi! bulged out on both sides prevent- ed the ledge trom becoming evident in profile, while, seen in the glare of the sunlight, it suggested nothing more than a slight indentation. He rapidly sketched to Iris the de- fensive plan which the eagle's nest suggested. Access must be provided by means of a rope ladder, securely tastened inside the ledge and capable of being pulled up or let down at the will of the occupants. Then the place must be kept constantly stocked with a judicious supply of provisions, water and ammunition. They could be cov- ered with a tarpaulin and thus kept in fairly good condition. “Danger threatens us each hour after sunset. It may come any night, though I expect at least a fortnight’s reprieve. Nevertheless I intend to act as it to- night may witness the first shot of the siege.” “We ought to sleep there every night,” he went on, and his mind was so engrossed with the tactical side of the preparations that he did not notice how iris blanched at the suggestion. “Surely not until danger actually threatens?’ she cried. Jénks Always accepted her words lit- crally. “Do vyou mean that?" she sighed. “And my little room is becoming so “Well," he announced, after a pause, “it may not be necessary to take up our quarters there until the eleventh hour. After I have hoisted up our stores and made the ladder I will en- deavor to devise an efficient cordon of sentinels around our position. We will very Not another word could Iris get out of him on the topht. Indeed, he provided her with plenty ’0: work. By this time she could splice a rope more neatly than her tutor, and her particular busi- nesa was to prepare no less than sixty rungs for the rope ladder. This was an impossible task for one day, but after dinner the sailor helped. her. They toiled late, until their fingers were sore and their backbones ereaked as they sat upright. Meanwhile Jenks swarmed up the pole again and drew up after him a crowbar, the sledge hammer and the pickax. With these implements he set to- work to improve the-accommodation. 0! course he did not attempt seriously to remove any large quantity on‘ rock, but there were projecting lumps here and inequalities of floor there which could be thumped or pounded out of existence. It was surprising to see what a clearance he made in an hour. The ex- istence of the fault helped him a. good dead. as the percolation of water at this point had oxidized the stone to nottenâ€" ness. To his great 10y he discovered that a few prods with. the pick laid bare a small cavity which could be easily enlarged.

Jenks minutely scrutinized the on between Rainbow island and the distant group. It was perhaps a needless precaution. The Dyaks would come at night. With a favorable wind they need not set sail until dusk. and their fleet sampans would easily cover the intervening forty miles in five hours. He could at be positive that they were actual inhabitants of the islands to the south. The China sea swarms with wandering pirates. and the tribe whose animosity be had earned might be equally noxious to some peaceable fishing community on the coast. Again and again he debated the advisability of constructing a seaworthy raft and endeavorlng to make the passage. But this would be risking all on a (right- ful uncertainty, and the accidental dis- covery at the eagle's nest had given him new hope. Here he could make a determined and prolonged stand. and in the end help must come. So he dis- missed the navigation noiect and de- voted himself wholly to the perfecting of the natural lortress in the rock. That night they finished. the tape lad- der. Indeed Jenks was determined not to reflre to rest until It was placed. He did not care to try a second time to carry Iris to that elevated perch. One of the first things be contem- plated was the destruction if possible of the polm on the opposite chi! which commanded the ledge. This, however, was utterly impracticable with the ap- pliances at his command.
