CHAPTER XX XL
Baok through Pailolu Strait.
The engine!! of the Auino could un1
eead her through tlio water fust
enough for us.
Jean Chicot sat crouched near the
rail, watchiug us furtively. We paid
little attention tohiiu. He was thor
to do our bidding. He was tractable
enough, and would cause no trouble.
The sight of so in any soldiers had
driven all the wickedness out of him.
And, indeed, he was not so wick ml at
he was demented. Lou;; familiarity
with the worshipers of Pele had so
worked upon his weak intellect that it
had been an cany matter fur him to be
come one of them. Ami, like all
Frenchmen, once iu their ranks, he
threw hie entire nature- into the idol
atry aud became tho worst fanatit! ol
the lot. ISut 1'elo could not save him
from armed soldiers. lie was looking
out for the safety of Jean Chicot, am.'
this safety lay iu obedience.
Hccauip sat near the old Frenchman
and smoked. At times he would at
tempt to lead the old man into conver
sation, but found in him a very in
different listener. Chicot's eyes were
Axed on me. He did nut care what
Beacamp was saying.
Gordon aud X paced tho deck im
patiently. Making a turn forward, I stepped
alongside my comrade, who had for
the moment paused, aud stood with
his glass in hand scanning the height
of Lauui.
"I am trembling with excitement, ''
I said.
A grim smile played around his
mouth. Ho was a contrast to me.
He was so calm, so strong. There
was on his handsome, rugged face a
purpose well defined. It meant but
little good to tho person we were go
ing to seek.
"What is your purpose?" he asked.
"Suppose wo rind this wretch Kau
mai or Helenoorthe devil whichever
sho is? Do yon menu to say you wi 11
give your uuclo's cstute over into lu-r
bands?"
"It was my uncle's wish."
"Hut she is the murderess of Win
Die."
"I know. She could have saved
her. But sho is iny unclu's daugh
ter." "But she played you false."
"Yes; but tiie will must stand. She
must have what is hers."
Gordon moved impatiently.
"After that?" he muttered.
"She deserves punishment. There
Is a law in the laud. Let her abide
by it."
"Law at anytime is kIow."
"True. I have sworn to kill her,
but I cannot have, the blood of hit
cousin on my hands or yours."
"Cousin? An ouirago on the rela
tion." "True. An outrage on nil woman
hood if yon will, but she is the heiress
of The Corals."
I examined tho rapidly Hearing
coast.
"If I am not mistaken," I said,
pointing to what seemed to be a little
boy in the rocky shore, "that ii
whero Pntua landed me. Let us gj
ashore there. From there I can easi
ly find my way. The map of that
horrible pluco is burned into mj
brain. I can seo it all do see it
have seen it since the day hcl!
opened aud peace departed from un
life."
We were boltt very pale. We were
en an errand the like of which in;
man had ever been on before.
We were going to place upon e
pedestal of gold a heathen idol. A
woman who had falsely claimed sh
loved mo, only to wring my soul in
agony; a woman who had spurned the
love that iu the great gratitude she
might have won, would have been en
during for all time; a woman whos
cruel adherence to a hideous unearth
ly form of worship bad lof-l to me
beautiful and loving sister, ami tc
Gordon the one ho hoped to wed; tin;
woman we were or 1 was bound bj
my uncle's will to tenderly cure for, U
plttoe in possession of her great in
heritance. It was hard! It was harti
to forget the horrid scenes that 1 bin:
been through, to sink my hatred o!
the traitress behind iny obedience tc
Uncle Tom. The struggle had cost
me dear, but right was triumphant.
Ueleuo should have her own.
Again the Aitmo's bouts were low
ered, and we went ashore.
A large nulling boat was lying up on
the rocks high out of reach of tho
tide. I exainiued it. It was Patau's
boat. It had been thrown on the
rocks by a storm, aud was buttered
aud broken.
"This is Patua's boat," I said. "It
is the same one that 1 caiuo here in.
The iishermau must have been over
3oiw9 by the volcano."
"I aeenq evideuees of volcano,"
said Gordon.
"You could not eee any signs of it
here, no matter how severe an erun- I
Uon there was. Between us an I Kap
stoli there are high walls of locks
which woul l stop the flow. Iks la .. I
could sweep down the niount.iia si le !
aud aoross the plains on the other !
side, but wo.ild bo held in chtvk on ;

"Hurry up!" sai l Seae-amp. "I.t i s j

Cordon gave himu look that sib
encod him.
"Lcat'.he w,iy, Tom," ."-aid Gordon.
"Vou kujw tho roa I. Wo will fol

Cordon was close behind me. Af
ter him ca n-' Jean Chicot, then He
camp, then the soldiers.
I led them into the deep gulf that
led the way to the Temple of tho
Glistening Kock.
"You must have had creepy sensa
tions when yo'.i went through here

"I felt better than I do now.
was full of hope. Now all is misery.
Look out there, the road is rough aud
the light poor."
'Confound that, rock!" I beard
Seaemup sputter back of us. "I'll
break my American neck over thin
heathen business before I get
through."
I walked more rapidly than T had
nn my first visit. 1 seemed to know
the roa 1 perfectly. I found n- ditli
euity in picking my way. Cordon
came along splendidly, but Kcacamii
and Chicot Mumbled and fell ami
cursed and grumbled as wo hurried
them along.
"f see light ahead," Gordon said.
"ft is the Temple of the Glistening
Bock," J sai l. "That is where I wait
ed for Nimolau, who took nio before
Kaumai."
We quickened our steps.
'There is somo ono there," fifth)
Cordon.
I mshed into the broad basin calleJ
(h' Temple -if the Glistening Bock.
A man sui with hi.s back to tho ruck,
facing the y.ilf or eutranco to thoteuii
pie.
He was calmly eating a banana.
It was Niinolo'i.
I sprang toward him and seized him,
"Hell-dog!" I roared, hardly able tc
desist from slaying him on the spot,
But that I needed his assistance ta
lind Helene, he would have died t lint,
moment. "You miserable curl You
worthless pup of Satan! Murderer!
Do you know I have come to kill you?''
I shook him roughly. The soldiers
crowded around. They needed but u
word to put Nimolau out of the world.
But Ninuiau was the same calm
Simolnii.
"I thought you would come," he
laid. " have been waiting for you.'1
"Waiting for me!" I cried. "Has
I'.ie place not done mo harm enoug'i
that it should wait for me again? lint
am here, and if your murdering
priestess lives, I want to see her."
"Jt ii un easy thing," ho said.
'Follow me."
"Devilish cool!" muttered Cordon
"Dm- would think he had done you a
favor once."
"Just so," said Xiuioluu, turning
lo mc. "The last time you were here
joii had some good cigars. tlot uy
now?"
I roared an oath at him.
"No!" I said. "Lend us to Kaumai,
hr I'll scatter your brains on thii
Glistening Bock."
"Come on," lie snid.
We followed him, us I had done bo
fore, through the dark pussage-wny,
the guide goin,i alien 1 of us with hit
lantern,
Wtien wo emerged from that pass
lige nud caiiin out on the mountain
bide, I saw fresh lava hero and there,
"There it is," said. "Tho erup
tion was slight, after all."
"It was the sacrifice, "said Nimolau,
looking lit me. There was a curiout
light in his eyes.
J clutched him by the throat.
"Wait," said Gordon. "Let bin)
take us to Helene, and then we caf
deal with him."
We followed him up the tuountaiii
nud down into the crater. He eutereii
the temple where f had seen so man
horrors. A cold shudder crept ovel
me. There w as one relief. Xo priest)
could be seen.
"Where uro the priests?" I asked
Nimolau.
"Some are down there," he replied,
pointing into the hike of lava.no longer
rumbling or smokiu.'. "The subtler,
killed t Uem and P.itu.i nud I buried
them in there. The others are watt
del ing iiboui the island. There w a;
no way to leave it. for Put mi's boat

"And tho luiMiuiiloukaniliiiiawni?''
I irked. "What of that?"
He did Hot answer. He stepped
toward that chamber iu w hich Kauuiui

hopes and had bnde me trust her.
Nnuoliu gave a peculiar cry.

Viuuie!'I cried ut last, lost in a
'og of bewilderment. "Winnie!" My
voice was broken: my sight dim. 1
could say no more than that. "Wiu
Die!" Jt was no phantom. My sister's
trius were around my tier k. She was
tveoping mid kissing me, aud I was
s eeping and kissing her.
"God be praised!" 1 exclaimed st
fast. "But I saw you thrown into thu
ava lake. How were you rescued
md by whom?"
A happy laugh drove her tears
vsy.
"I wasn't thrown in, Tom dear,",
she said, and now she found time to
stretch out her hand to Gordon, who
stood utaring nt her and ut Kaumai
and st the room in which we stood.
"It was only a bundle that was thrown
iu, Tom. Kaumai wm tine, and
saved lue. Ximolau nud l'utua were
true to us and her and did not betray
the secret." Now she lowyred het
voice to a whisper. "And Kauina:
loves you, Tom, and saved mo fol
yon, aud I love Kaumai. "
My eyes were swimming with tears.
Through them I could see Kaumai,
beautiful Kaumai, cro-i hing upon i
cushion, her faco buried iu her hands.
Iordon found his tongue, and with
tho light of a resurrected love sirug
gling for the mastery with tho wonder

told her how luippyhe v.us to iiu.l her.
1 stepped to KttU'uui's side. She
knew my footstep aud jumped to her
feet.
"Von could not trust we!" f-lia
cried, shrinking from me.
"I trust you now," I said, "f trust
you, love you and worship you.
Come!"
I held out iny arms. She came to
me. Ah! The misery wun w iped out
in that embrace of love. It needed
no words to say that Kaumai lovei
me. This beautiful woman, whose
only teachers bad In eu .leau Chie.it
and Nature, was mine. She had
earned my love, my gratitude, n.y
trust. Willi my arm iirouml her waNt
I turned to Jean Chicot.
Tho old Frenchman stood palsied
with surprise, fearjjand bewilderment,
rubbing his hands together nnd iiioau
ug to himself. Scucamp stool villi
his hands in his pockets, staring wit ii
wide-open eyes ami pale face ut AYi ti
me, at Kauuiui aud nt me.
"Speak!" I commanded Jean
Chicot. "I know your answer, but L
Brought you hero to discover ile'ene.
Speak! istbis the daughter of Thuuuu
Wnrriiigford?"
"Yes," hoarsely c; ii d the old '.-.'. i.
"That is Helene. She docs not kuo-y
lue! She docs not know me!''
I bent aud kisel my priesie.-s
again.
"You are my cousin," f sail,
"and a fortune is waiting you at
Honolulu. "
She tenderly put her hand in minu
and drew me toward Winnie and
Gordon. Embracing Winnie und luo
"he said:
"f have my fortune now."
"Kaumai our cousin!'' ecc!:.imel
Winnie, "I'ne'e Toui'ii dan ;hter;aiid
Uncle Tom is dead!"
"Yes," 1 replied. "Kiumai be
longs to us. I'ucloToni left her to 111
to care for and how teu-lci ly we s i ul
do it."
T notice l the happiness vm no; all
with us. Winnie looked with bright
eyes into Gordon's face, and the gen
trul of thj army were his 'joeu-s
proudly.
"You had better speak to old
Chicot," I said. "Helene, I w ill cu'l
yon Helene hereafter, for that is your
inline. You will learn u!l u'.i-.i.it yo. it
self when we rea.-lt home."
"Home!" sho murmured, "home!
Whata strange, sw eet word! f thought
this horrid place was home, until your
darling sister taught ion better, Sim
lias opened my eyes eve. i more thai
you could in that brief tall: that a.vl'-il
day. Yes, I will speak to him." sh.j
continued pointing to Chicot. "He i i
the old man I told you used to teach
me iu that temple long ago."
She stepped before Chicot. Sonic
thing of her old grandeur came to her
us she stood before him ami said.
"Old man, for your teachings I owe
you gratitude nnd hatred. You were
in ono way Lind and iu another cruel,
I have learned wisdom from my sister,
there," pointing proudly at Winnie,
"and I knpw that the horrid fallacies
you taught me were but the phantasies
of a disordered brain. That you will
fully did wrong I do not believe, yet
you made mo a hater of my peop'e,
and almost a murderess, But for the
joy that has come out of it, the love
and happiness that are now mine,''
and here she steppe I buck ami held
Winnie's hand iu one of hers mid mine
in the other, "I forgive you. I do m t
know what you are to inc. There is a
mystery to lie cleared uway, but not

The old muu tnas mi his kmc:, hit

"Then live in pea-'e." she s a I soft
