There at the outskirts of the village she fought against her terror. from the doze into which she finally had tanen. Like the rippling of a breeze through the leaves it was, and yet something ominous about it brought her bolt upright in bed. her every tac- m‘ty alert. Gradually she made out that It came tmm immediately over her head. The noise ceased abruptly.

Then once more he took up his position In the shadow of the addacent tree. He wait. Foot by foot. a coil at a time. the pile of creeper before the international spy unfolded itself, the while he prevent- mil any knotting. The heap upon the hut floor had almost disappeared beâ€" fore the constant vibrations ceased and he knew the savage had finished his part of the work. He was still smiling. grimly now. when the-native returned. and he commanded him to fire the end that was within the shut. Then Hugo Louheque stepped swiftly out the open- ing and strode along the line of creep- er rope that wound like some unbe- lievable monstrous serpent through the lush grass and shrubbery until he came within a few yards of Lucille’s but He halted. screening himself from the chance observation of some prowling native by hiding in the shadow or a great tree that faced her abode. But half an hour sufficed to satisfy the spy. and. without more than a nod, he turned and moved swiftly back to the hut. There he snperintended the splicing of the sections of creepers and binding together in such fashion they should make a rope fully 100 feet long. The last fragment of the material was used. and he stared at the giant coll situeculatively. At a curt word of com- mand. “Go!" the native glided noise~ lessly from the but. one end of the rope in his hand From far away. back in the direction from which he nad just come there in the blackness or the jungle tip. a strange winking star seemed suddenly to twinkle upon the ground. fade for a moment. then dance swiftly forward toward him. At times the flame would appear to waver.'to be extinguished. but always it would reappear again. having made brave progress during the ' time of its apparent extinction. Hugo Loubeqne suddenly stirred to an- lmatlon. Night had long since fallen when he stirred from his motionless position. before the somber light was burned from his eyes by the kindling flame of action While no visible symbol be- trayed exultation, there was a stealthy sureness to his stride that showed he was about to work, that the time for reflection was past. “Get up!" he told his savage follower. The native swiftly rose and waited his commands. Fear still lay heavily upon him because of his two failures, and he was willing to dare anything now, risk even the profanation of the sacred amulet. rather than face again the flame of this man’s wrath, this man he had stumbled across upon the beach and who. though helpless, had spat at him further than his blow pipe could carry and shivered the spear as he held it "uplifted in his hand. ad- vancing with murderous design upon the man. A small glittering thing of metal was the weapon or this man, yet he had seen a giant lion drop dead when his master raised it and threw its barking Voice of orange flame through it. Swiftly Loubeque strode through the inky blackness or the jungle that hem- med them in until he came to a scarce. ly penetrable wall of creepers. swung like giant hammocks between the trees. twisting and writhing about them- selves in hopeless confusion. all de- riving sustenance from the stunted trunks to which they clung. More like great roves of corded hemp they were than anything else, their thick surface covered with fuzzy hairs. It was the creeper LOUUBQUB had noticed the nao tive using when he wished to start the night‘s tire. twisting about a hard, sharp pointed stick against the un. yielding surface of the creeper till the friction started flame.

Hurriedly she clutvhed the bag. slip- ping to the floor and listening. Sleep was out or the question. There could be no sleep while the mighty spy dogged her steps. knew where she was. Morning came and passed. the sun striking obliquely down upon the village before she dared even stir out- side the hut. the little daughter of the chief at her side silent and shy, but al- ways comforting by her presence. This time a rustling. rushing sound came from directly above her. A leer- 1ng roof of yellowish flame glowered at her from the place where the thatched roof had heen.

All through the remainder of the night Lucille clung to the child she had nursed through her illness And now the situation between the pair was reversed and she. the competent white woman, became the child. while the little brown savage sat beside her si- lently all through the night. her hand clasping the trembling one. With a little cry of despair she start- ed to flee. He was almost upon her when a tall. half naked figure darted to her side. She reached out instinc- tively and clutched the friendly hare arm And then she hugged the sack with the papers and diary to her hosom and her lips moved silently.

The proofs or her sweetheart’s innocence had been close to being taken from her this time. She must not risk such a chance again. She must leave this place, must trust no longer to these people for protec- tion. must trust herself no longer to the fate that seemed so constantly to look after her. She must hide herself away from the master eye of the spy. Lucille felt a great desolation upon her.- a sense of fighting a useless hat.

She made as though to flee. but something horrible about the ad- vancing man deterred her. made her hesitate. She felt herself yielding nnally to the inevitable. There could he no possible thwarting of such a one as Hugo Louheque. no chance for her, a frail, weak girl. to thwart this man. Where? It made no difference. She must bide herselrâ€"away. That was all. ground of thick shadow behind him. But there was an ominousness of pur~ pose about his very movement. about the long. gliding shadow of him. that told her instinctively who it was. Lucille was unvonsclous of every- thing for a moment save that she had escaped the flames. Then something caused her to return. From behind a great tree she saw the“ figure of a man moving swiftly toward her. He made no sound as he approached: neither could she see his face for the back- “Go!" he told the native. 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000006 9096900000§§§¢§§§§§+++§+§¢06900+0999§§§++9§§9+0+99¢9 §§+§§§§§W§§§§0§§“§QWW I v0§§+§§§§§§OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO9OOOOOOOOOJOOOVOtO¢+§ §§§§§§z§§§§+§§§§++#9090900 909000;:093000090 The Rob Roy Cereal M _ Co.
