I observed as we approached the stairs that the rock had been worn smooth by the wind and weather, or maybe by the passing of many feet and were quite practicable for ascent. The angle at which they rose was steep too. The ascent was easy enough for me. but hard for her, and several times I made hold to lift her up the higher steps. which she suffered without com- plaining. She told me long afterward that my manner toward her then and thereafter had been perfect. When we at last reached the top before us lay a broad pathway rudely paved with the same hard stone. This road led straight into the interior of the island of which we could see as yet nothing. because the wall here abouts was covered with dense. lux- urious vegetation Progress was dim- cult even in the pathway. It would mve been impossible in some places but for my heavy cutlass with which I cut a path where the place had be- come overgrown by trees and bushes which had forced their way through the cracks, overturningand breaking the heavy flagstones and blocking up the path. which it was evident had not been traversed for generations. perhaps not since the old hurt-aneer himself had walked along it beneath the s;““-:lding trees. l‘ or perhaps a mile we pursued our journev across the top of the \ v,all winding in and out among the trees throng, h the jungle. the path exidently seeking the most level direction. for the top of the wall was very much broken and irregular. At last we came to an open spot on the inner edge overlooking the whole island. and before us lay such a pic- ture as few eyes, at least of our race, had ever looked upon. The wall ended abruptly and fell on the inner or land- ward side as precipitously as it rose outwardly and to seaward. Before ns lay a most entrancing valley. perhaps three or four miles across and maybe half as long again in the other direc- tion and which was walled about on every hand. It was sunk beneath this wall crest for perhaps 100 feet or more. In the heater of the valley the land rose a little higher than the island wall in a very considerable hill, tree crowned on the slopes. but largely bare on the crest. Through the valley ran a brook. which ended in a little lake, which I suspected had some subter- ranean connection with the ocean. As far oas we could see-«and the whole circuit of the island was now clearly visible to us-the lnclosing wall was unbroken. The valley was filled with clusters of trees and alternating stretches of grassy meadow. We should have been hard put to it to descend the wall to the valley were it not for the fact that the same peo- we who built the stairs that gave ac- cess to the wall from the sea had built a similar flight which led to the valley. Before we essayed the descent of the stairs we drank our fill of the beauty and mysterious charm of it all. In- deed. there was no sound that came to us except the twittering of the birdS. of which there were many. brilliantly plumaged. flittering in the trees. All else was still. lonely. deserted. oppres- sively. so intact. “What think you or this?” My lady broke the silence. “Is it not like the water of a volcano?"

Gentle voman, In the Great South Seas. come a wall, and that some great up~ heaval had lifted the whole up out of the water in ages gone by and that the barrier reef over which‘ we had passed was the second attempt of the busy little insects to sufirouud the is- land again. “I hardly know." I answered. “What is eXercising me most now is. first of all. what is going 011 in that same mu- tinous ship. and. next. now we shall finally get away from here.” “\tht is to be done now?" asked my little mistress. “Impatient; for you. madam,” l inter- rupted. checking myself from further self revealing speech just in time. “You are impatient." returned my lady, smiling “One thing at a time." she (-ontinued. “By the favor of God. we have escaped from the murderers and mutineers We shall not starve upun this island. and l have no duubt that sooner or later you will devise some means of our escape.” It was past noon by this time. 1 made sure of it by looking at the sun and confirming it by my watch. which I most carefully kept running during all our sojourn on the island. which indicated close on two bells, 1 o’clock. Our talk of the ship recalled me to my. self. “I think.” said 1, “that we had bet- ter postpone the exploration of the is land until another day and go back to our landing place. If I know the men on that ship they will guess that we have escaped to this island and they will bring her round to this side. where we may have them under view and they as." “Think you that they can come at us?" she asked, in sudden alarm. “I think not,” I answered confident- ly, “but still to make sure I should like to have them under observation.” ' Well. to make a long story short. we retraced our steps over the broken path until we reached the stairs on the other side. The descent of them was much easier than the ascent, and by 2 of the clock we stepped on the sand again. There before us in the offing was theship. We saw them quite plainly, and I doubt -not they caught sight of us immediately also. They were scarcely a quarter of a mile away from the reef. perilously near, I thought. and we could mark them crowding the rail and staring landward. We could see them bran- dishing their weapons and we could imagine the yells which must have arisen from the decks when they caught sight of us. The ruflians aboard the ship did not content themselves with simply star. ing at us, for presently they assem- bled on the port quarterâ€"the ship was under all plain sail on the starboaid tack at the time, the wind having fall en to a gentle breeze during the dayâ€" and clambered into the cutter, swing ing at the davits. As she was lowered Into the water. fully manned. Mistress Lucy drew closer to my side. seizing my arm with both hands. “Let us fly! They are coming to take us!" she cried in great alarm. “But they are on a vain errand.” l reassured her. “But why? How can you Know that? 011. Master Hampdon. let us hasten away.” “We have a. protector." I answered confidently enough. “God?” asked she. “His handiwork.” I replied, as l in- dicated with a gesture the barrier reef over which the waves were breaking. “But we passed it.” “Yes, in a light dinghy. and you .re- member the' difficulty and danger. They will never surmount it in the heavy cutter. They will not attempt it. trust me.” “But if there should be an Opening?” “1 don’t ieve there Is one.” was my reassuring reply. “1 have no fear that they can get at us.” “And we can’t get to them." she answered more composedly. “I have no wish so to do.” 1 laughed. “,Yon don’t understand me.’.‘ she pea- fished. “What keeps \them out keepi “Yes." I admitted. “magi: true. but “Let us fly!

After they had rowed the length of the isâ€" land they gave it up and went back to the ship, which had followed their course. By this time the day was far spent. We retraced our steps and came to the place Where I had hauled up the dingy. We were himgry. The pro- visions we had taken with us we had eaten during the journey. The first business was supper. 1 had noticed some coeoanut trees and other strange trOpieal fruits. so 1 had no fear of starvation. We could live on the is- land indefinitely: therefore I was not sparing with the provisions. We kin- dled a fire and made shift to boil some cofiee. We had neither milk nor sugar, but the taste of civilization did us good. ”uh 'u' v For the night I capsized the boat and drew it close against the coral wall. spread the sail and boat cloak upon the clean. dry sand. gave her one blanket and bade her take her rest.

The ship certainly would have attracted the at- tention of some one had not the island been deserted." “But those men out there?" “You forget the rampart that God has flung about us. Now, madam. you can go to sleep in safety. 1 assure you.” “Before that,” she said. dropping down on her knees in the sand and motioning me to follow her example. which I did awkwardly enoughâ€"I hope I am not a mocker or disbeliever, but I confess that I didn’t often bend the kneeâ€"“we will have a prayer to- gether." - ““‘ -â€"â€"-â€" BAA” 0 ‘She had slipped a little prayer bool: within her dress. and she now: drew it forth from her bosom and by the light of the fire read the Psalm of Da- vid. which beginsi “Out of the deep have 1 called unto thee.
