"Do you mean by pelting her?" she lnquired mischievously. “Far worse. By wearing a more ex- pensive costume.” "Here is your walking dress,” he said, handing her a lump weighing about a pound. "With the balance in the heap there you can stagger the best dressed woman you meet at your first dinner in England.” “No. I intend my words to be under- stood In their ordinnrv sense. You are very, very rich. Miss Deane, an ex- i‘wagantly wealthy young person.” Iris looked puzzled. "Is that your way of telling me that fine feathers would make me a fine bird?” she asked. “Of course you know you are talking nonsense. Why, only the other day my father salt?» “Excuse me.

Opening the front of her bodice, she {brought to light a small gold locket containing miniatures of her fluther and mother. Inside this receptacle she carefully placed the three really mate. rial portions of the sailor's lbtter. When Jenks walked down the- hill again he heard her singing long before he caught sight of her sedulously tend- ing the tire. Somehow the two seemed to‘ fit to- gether very nicely. Yet a third carried the same wads-â€" “I love you!” They were still’ quite coherent. She did not want to look any further. She did not even turn over such of the torn pieces as had fluttered to earth face downward. for her, and at this closer range she saw another which bore the legendâ€"“I love you!" "So it was intended for me!” sne cried, throwing down her bundle and dropping to her knees. She» secured that particular slip and examined it earnestly. Not for worlds would she pick up all the scraps and endeavor to sort them. Yet thev Ind 51 fnaninnflnn She was the soul of honor for a wo- man, but there was never a Woman yet who could take her eyes off a written document which confronted her. She could not help seeing that one small morsel contained her own name. Though mutilated. it had clearlv read- “Dear Miss Deane.” The hour drew near when Janka Uhnhed to the Summit rock. He shoul- dered ax and rifle and set forth. Iris heard him rustling upward through the trees. She set some water to boil for tea and. while bringing a fresh supply of fuel. passed the spot where the torn scraps of paper littered the sand. Twomo.

Close scrutiny of the work already done merely confirmed the accuracy of his first impression. While Iris held the light he opened up the seam with a few strokes of the pick. Each few inches it broadened into a noteworthy volcanic dike. now yellow in its abso- Jute purity, at times a bluish black when fused with other metals. The ad- ditional labor involved caused him to follow up the line of the fault. Sud- denly the flame of the lamp began to flicker in a draft. There was an air passage between cave and ledge. They came back into the external glare. Iris was now so serious that she ' forgot to extinguish the little lamp. She stood with outstretched hand. - mm mm w: Send for free 33mph.

Ills method was to write a short sentence and explain in detail its component parts. She knitted her brows in the effort to mas- ter the ridiculous complexities of a language which, instead of simply say- ing “Take” or “Bring.” compels one to say “Take-go” and “Take-come.” It became a fixed principle with the girl that she was very ignorant. and she lnsisted that the sailor should teach her. For instance among the books he found a treatise on astrono- my. It yielded a keen dellght to both to identify a constellation and learn all sorts of wonderml things concern- ing it. When the urgent necessity for con- tinuous labor no longer spurred them to exertion during every moment of daytight. they tackled the box of books and read, not volumes which appealed to- them in common. but quaint tomes in the use of which leaks was tutor and Iris the scholar. Iris placed her arms akimbo. plant- ed her feet widely apart and surveyed Jenks with an expression that might almost be termed impudbnt.

Sitting down for a little while be- fore retiring to rest, they discussed for the hundredth time the probabilities of speedy succor. This led them to the topic of available supplies, and the sailor told Iris the dispositions he had made.
