Continued. ?10? | "It's u (1? <1 lonely position for you !" j he exclaimed. Then lie rose, with such j precipitancy that she nearly fell. He ! be^aii walking up and down outside I 1 the hut. Instead of hurrying away, she hesi- | tared, watching him in bewilderment? conscious of a strange longing to re i main near him. to saunter together on j the shore, as was sometimes tl>eir habit at night. But when, at last, he paused near j ber, lie made no such suggestion. "Go tombed." he said rather curtly; "its late. And. Barbara, don't lie awake all night, or cut off the rest of I your hair! Its all ? useless. " With that he turned away, and went off alone to the beach, leaving her star ing after him. Strangely enough, she did not lie awake this time. Those few passionate moments bad embodied hours of emo tional strain. The force which hud seemed to be sweeping her from all moorings had caused her to st niggle violently. both mentally and physically, to retain her own Individuality, to pre vent It from being submerged in his. His lips on hers would have been sheer physical pain, unbearable, over powering. . . . Afterward, a numb ness fell upon *ber mind. She felt too desperately, tired to attempt coherent thought. This volcano upon which, nowadays, they lived, must take Its course! Since the moment when she had seen the shark, a lifetime of tumultuous emotions had whirled her mind and heart round like thistledown. Confused, yet subtly, gloriously elated, she slept till dawn. . . . A fusillade of sticks and stones roused her. but she did not see Alan. And a sudden overwhelming shyness restrained her from calling to him. j Hut there was no trace of last night's passion about this man of a hundred moods* when they met: and her Self confidence revived. While she was packing the old tin box with food, he arrived, fresh rfnd damp from the riv er. He gaily deposited a large hun ! die af her feet, and wished her a I merry Christmas. With surprise, she uncovered a cun | ningl.v contrived hammock made from f tree fiber, airplane canvas, and aerial! J As this was exactly what she had often j wanted upon hot afternoons, her pleas i ure was unbounded. I "I have nothing for you, A|nn!" she ! regretted, with compunction. "Oh? Well? well see about that!" j he replied enigmatically ; then hurried | their departure. They walked quickly, saving little, over the musrh gmund which, covered with low scrub, sloped upward on the east of their bay. They paused to rest and eat. In the eastern wood, meaning to remain there during the midday hent. The shady branches stretched out over the beach j were welcome to eyes dazzled by the | glare without. The intoxication of the I morning's beauties, their own radiant j health and spirits, the strains of the wild sweet orchestra risinu all around. I lent enchantment to that little picnic Barbara had. as it were, caught at reeds during the last few weeks, but they had broken In her grasp. Onward she was madly whirling. She knew it ; could not save herself; could not quench that light in his eyes, and her own foolish weakness in his proxlmlt^ Abruptly, he went to her and took tier by the shoulders, saying nothing, but gazing Inio her face as If searching for sonjething lie wished to learn there. I Suddenly, apprehension In lier eyes deepened to horror;' a cry hurst from her lips; she became rigid ir. his hands. With such precipitate haste did the whole incident occur t!_at she could never afterward clearly remember how it happened that. In a flash, the face of the whole world changed. . . . She wua conscious of a dark bulk, a ?bt age face she knew well, looming sud denly up amid the trees ? of a spear anu uplifted, preparatory to hurling the weapon Into the back of an unsus pecting enemy. . . . Her man was In danger! That was her only coherent thought. Instantly she hii d whipped out the revolver, and. with deadly calm, raised It. . . . A sharp report and a puff of smoke: a wild howl of pain and fear: then n stream of blood oozing from the black shoulder In front of her, as the smoke cleared away. Those were the out ward Impressions of which her mind was dimly aware: but they seemed un real, of no accornt. She heard the spear fly wide Into the tree at her side: then Rabooma's running foot steps and retreating cries. . . . Croft, astounded, had bnrelv caught a glimpse *f he dark face which he had often seen covertly watching him. before It was momentarily blotted out in smoke. He started forward In hot pursuit: then, arrested by a choking cry. halted abruptly, and looked at the girl. . . . y She stood motionless: her eyes, luminous as stars, fixed upon him. her mouth a little open, the s|HP smoking weapon lylner at her feet. It had been no itsild idea of causing Babooma fear which had Impelled her action, but a furious, savage desire to kill! She hnd hurled herself to the rescue, re gardless of all else. Afterward, all power or desire to move seemed to leave her. A veil fell from before her eyes; and a brilliance streame^ In. Illuminating, scorching? full of sl^ch ecstasy that she stood as though transfixed, paralyzed with the wonder of It all. gazing upon him w^ion> this brilliance had newly revealed. . . The breath caught In the man's throat: the blood raced madly through hls*?eins: his eyes blazed, answering the glory of her own. I.Ike the Wagnerian lovers after drinkine of the love potion, they stood a few feet apart, under the sun-flecked foliage of tlie^trees. awed for a mo ment by fh*? miracle. She raised her hand at last, as if Inviting. . . . The spell bn?ke. Instantly his arms were around her. With an Inarticulate cry. she was swept off her feet, clasped to his throbbing heart, bis* burning lips pressed hers, her hands clinging round his neck. . . all her Individuality merged Irrevocably Into his. as a stream, falling through arms of rock, merges Into the resistless waves of the ocean. *?????? The sun was sinking, a flery ball in an almost violet sky. Its last rays shim mering golden- red across the water, when at last the two returned to the hut on what wonderful Christmas day A new world greeted their eyes at every turn. Never had reef or sea or sky appeared so splendid. Tlie superb, absolute egotism of newly found lovers enveloped them both : no thought save of each other disturbed the shining hours, hike one still walking in a dream-world. Barbara entered the central hut, gay with Its decorations. The line of golden light entering with her pierced the dusk within ; and, fall ing upon the opposite wall, drew her eyes unconsciously that way. She stopped. Hugh's face smiled down at her, with all its old confidence ! Violently the dream world crashed around her as she met the faithful, dog like look she knew so well. Had he been there In flesh and blood, she could hardly have been more disconcerted. She felt as a traitor might, when meet ing the unsuspicious eyes of the sov ereign he has betrayed. For, however faithful she might remain in word and deed to her bond, her heart would ever be traitorous. His ring was still on her finger: It seemed to burn there, an outward sign of the world of fact with its prosaic realities, its duties, Its sense of honor, its materialism. Its sac rifices. . . . A cold foreboding swept over her. It was as If In the midst of glorious sunshine, a thunderclap had sent Its warning of storms not far away. . . . She sat down, propping her face upon her hands, In self-abase- ( ment ? fearful, yet, behind all, ex ultant. . . . Thus Alnn? after going to fetch water and remaining to bathe ? found hereupon his return. He set down the blislns, then bent over her. "What Is the matter?" She half drew away from his touch. Bending closer, he removed the, hands from her head; and raised It back against his breast. "What's troubling my dearest, on this day of days?" She looked up into the ardent gray depths so close above her; then at the photograph upon the wall. His look followed hers, and quick comprehen sion dawned,. "Ah P* he ejaculated. "Well?" "Don't you see?" she asked. "All tbia in? impossible !" His eyes hardened a little; and he loosed Iter, ' "You and I have gone too far, now, to draw back because of scruples, Bar bara !" "They are not scruples ! It Is a mat ter of honor." She half raised her left hand, showing the little band of dia monds. With one swift movement he had seized the hand and ripped off the ring. "Honor be d? d. then V She sprang up, alarmed at his vio lence. He towered over her, his face blazing. - "Do shed the remnants of . the par .? ' i: . ex, ? \ ; i son's daughter, my dear girl! Face things squarely ! Yon drifted into this engagement when a mere child, not realizing all ft meant. As yoa devel oped. It ceased to fill jour life. His nature did not satisfy yours. I saw that at once. But until I knew your heart was free, I could do nothing ? save keep away!" He laughed bitter ly. "I ha vie wanted you and craved for your Jove, day after day, night after night, all these desolate months here together like ? like two icebergs in the Oarden of Eden ! Do you think now, when I have got It, I am going to lose It again? Would he or any sane man wish it ? or expect It? after all this? Don't you realize what ? the world would ? think ? now?" She looked puzzled over this sen tence, not having been acquainted with a malicious-minded world beyond her old horizon. But she knew the truth of every other word he uttered. Her awakened heart understood now the affectionate comradeship, alone. aroused by Hugh. Her whole nature yearned toward this man who had mastered it; her heart fluttered? wavered. The con science warring against it made an other dying attempt. "I? I can't shatter a man s lifelong faith. It would be murderous ? " "Do you love me?" he Interrupted, taking her firmly by the shoulders. ' "Ah J you ? know it," she breathed. "Yet you would put ? this? between us, with no hope of rescue?" Loosing her abruptly, he turned and looked long at the pictured face. Then, with a stifled exclamation, he pulled It from the bamboo. Before she realized his motive, he had torn the photograph into shreds, and scat tered them upon the ground. "Alan!" she gasped, almost fright* j nned by his vehemence. He wheeled, facing her with burning eyes. "I'm not a hip-dog! If we get res cued, we shall, of course, go straight tc Hugh and tell hhn the truth. But-? if not ? " He suddenly threw his arms around her, straining her to him. "Huve you realized that probability ? now, Barbara? We may be here for ever?Just you and I ? where the v// ? She Stopped. Hugh's Face Smiled Down at Her. mazes of civilization give way to Truth ? where no laws exist save those of nature ? 90 conventions!" He swept her off her feet, and his kisses hurned upon her Hps, her neck, her short hair. . . . Once more her life seemed to sink from her own keep ing into his. . . . He set her down at last, still clasp inn her to him. "Doesn't ? that ? decide it all?" he murmured unsteadily. "Don't you un derstand that we have bigger issues to face? here ? than useless scruples?" She turned in his arms, looking into Ills eyes through the gathering dark ness. The distant thundering surf was the only sound; and It seemed to suggest approaching storms more terrible than any she had faced be fore. Freeing herself a little, she pressed him from her. ?'You have won your way ? as usual, Alan. But? ah! BeA merciful!" As she had appealed before, so the cry came again from> her unprotected heart. -'That pitiful entreaty and her sur render reached where resistance might have failed. The passion In- his face faded a little; ^nd, seeing this, she pressed her advantage. "Isn't the present Joy ? sufficient? Tou are mine and I am yours. Don't let us spoil the glory of It all !" For a long moment there was si lence in the darkening hut. . . . Then this man, who had evW been wont to sweep aside all obstacles to his will, bent his head slowly, and kissed in turn the small hands clasped upon his breast. "We must keep our faith in each Immensity of Waters Picture a place of Inky darkness | nnd intense cold; a region to which j the rays of the sun nev? have pen etrated; a barren waste seemingly un ending. riVreft of vegetation and air, with ooz^Hslopes inhabited by queer, crawling creatures; a place where no man could exist for an instant, where no work of man could placed with out being crushed to shapeless use lessness under a weight greater than all the mountains of the earth.

A other ? whatever the future bring*," be whispered. And tenderly, almost reverently, he kissed her lips. PART THREE ? . ' Deep Chord? i I " A ring of stakes, lolling drunkenly I to one side, encircled the, hut, at a dis tance of about twenty yards. With a small rock for hammer, Alan was pounding them Into the ground, dur ing the hour before sunset. He had conceived the idea ? of building a palisade. Occupation! It was what they craved. Though neither confessed the fact to the other, both tacitly ac knowledged the? need. They seized on any excuse that would supply food for their thoughts, toll for their limbs, fatigue for body and mind. For, deep In the heart of each, below all the ecstasy of their Joy together, lurked grim fear ? not fear of each other, but fear of themselves: above all, fear of nature, of her smiling face and Irrevo cable laws. Resolutely, each buried the skeleton out of sight, covering It with a hundred pretty-colored reeds. But sometimes, unexpectedly, It stirred below the thick layefX stretched out its skinny arms. . . "I'll bring the river down here some day," the inventor of modern aircraft observed, thumping in a stake with his stone-age hammer. Why are you smiling in that vacant manner?" "Alan," she murmured, "you have been a revelation. I thought you a bully, only Intent upon getting yojr own way, regardless of everybody." "Well?" He laughed gently. "Haven't I got It?" * I "Ah. but not until It proved to be 1 my way too." "Merely becausp I realized It would ! be worthless otherwise. I learned that ' first 'of all the many things you taught j me." "I?" "Yes. you." Hfe raised her chin possessively. "Don't you think you have been a revelation, too? And hasn't the 'spirit' of the island you spoke about been a revelation to us both? It seems to me." he laughed. "the only thing to save the world from being choked by materialism is to wreck it on a desert island! Make everybody begin life afresh, back In prehistoric days." Barbara caught at this idea. "But," she said, following the- train of thought it engendered, "if all tilseon tented people had the chance to come, wouldn't every tree be crowded?" "Not at all. Only a handful would arrive. The majority are too peace fully asleep to realize they are being choked. Commercialism is the god they worship. Although, when there is nothing better tp do, they go to church ? In their best clothes." "You are very bitter!" she exclaimed in surprise. To Barbara, this man had ever been full of surprises ; but she had spoken the truth when she had called him a | revelation* For, during the two months since Christmas, he had been so at every turn. Not until love opened her own eyes; until she knew the meaning of passion herself, and understood the tempestuous force of j Ills, did she realize the strain under which he had been living. Since Christmas night the nature she had thought arrogant had revealed a thou sand wonderful mysteries. As a tree, cold and hidden In the snows and frosts of winter, responds to the glory of spring, so he had opened In the glory of their love. She drew away from him, and clasped her arms round her raised knees. Mountains, dark and threat ening to those whose way lies across them, are little heeded when shroud ed In mist, below which the sun shinefi. But now and then a Jagged peak thrusts through; and, with the Jour ney's progress, more appear behind. . . . Generally, these frequent peaks were Instinctively shunned; but to day Alun went on recklessly. "After all, marriage was made for mdb, like all other conventions. We i are not their slaves. What do forms and ceremonies matter ? here? They are often tosh.

You and I would vow to forsake all others, ; when there Is nobody here to forsake, j You would hardly want to elope with ! Babooma? If you did, I should soon catch you. That's another point: we couldn't separate If we wanted to! So what would be the g6od of a wed ding? Of vows we couldn't possibly j break?" . "Bigger issues to face than useless scruples." It is the old, old conflict. Has it the usual end? (TO BE CONTINUED.) Stirs the Imagination Is hal^ a mile.

Geoige Horace Lorimer. ? . - " . WOMEN MOST CRUEL tO FELLOW WOMEN? Feminine Writer Arraign ment of Gentler Sex ? That women are unjust to women is an ancient cry- there has never been any different answer to the ques tion. T'Why?" Women #are unjust to women because they don't trust tliein, and because they fear them, and they I have always had ample reason for that | mistrust and fear, Is a statement made by Jane Doe; In the Continental Edl ! tlon of the London ftall. Even the injustices to which women In the workaday world are subject from colleagues of their own set, the cattlness of forewomen and mana j geresses, the refined bullying of cer tain hospital matrons and hotel house keepers, the slave-driving mistresses ? who want the arts of the chef, the ; manners of a duchess, the gumption j of a field marshal, and the energy of a I pack mule, all toldlu the same domes i tic for a few dollars a year; the foack 1 biting, the Jealousies, the enmity and I the petty rivalries and utter snobblsh j ness to be found flourishing like ugly j weeds In every layer of feminine so ! rlety ? all these pale Into utter Insig nificance before the stupendous cruel ! ty of wgman to woman where hearts | and men are concerned. Let us face the naked facts and pur i sentimentality and all popular but lying fallacies anent the Inherent salnt Ijness and gentleness of what Is really . the unfair sex on one side. Woman's ! greatest enemy after she gets a hus j band Is woman. Men have beeh, and are, responsible j for much of the unhapplnesa that en ters Into the lives of single girls, but I It is women In the main who ruin the happiness of wives. For every woman who tries to r.ake a shining success of her married life, there are a dozen women In the ^offing who are convinced they could do It a lot j>etter If they were given the chance. And some of them stop at nothing to secure that chance. If fhe secret history behind most of the unhappy stories of women who have been forced to leave their hus bands, or who have been deserted by them, were revealed to the public, the story would be astounding ? astound ing because it would tell of 1 the ap palling prevalence of the girl-thief of married love, the feminine cuckoo who is fouling another woman's love-nest, the pirate on the matrimonial seas who doesn't care what hopes she wrecks and what honor and peace she shatters forever. I know of a score of such cases, I have heard of scores more, and I have read of hundreds like them. Nor are all these women the lurid vamps so unfaithfully portrayed on those cheap novelettes-In-de-luxe-blndings which we call films. They do not flit like beautiful birds of paradise across the horizon *>f happily married men, daz- 1 zling their good sense with mysteri ous perfumes, intoxicating them with rose du lendre kisses, blinding them with their charm and magic to ail other bonds but worthless ones. We wish they did. They would be so easily sorted out. Alas, the thief of love can be a commonplace girl In an office with a gift for petting and soulful sympathy ; she can be the woman wearing a transformation who lives next door and who invites you both In for mah-jongg and chicken sandwiches, subsequently helping her self to your husband's chicken heart. The Largest Building If the question were to he asked: "Which Is the world's largest build ing?" probably nine out of every ten Americans would name either the Equitable! or the Woolworth building In New York city. Either answer would be wrong. So far as Is known, the structure which really deserves the distinction Is the homely eight story warehouse of the United States army base in Brooklyn. It contains 52 acres of floor space ? almost double thnt of the renowned Equitable build ing. It's easy to forget the merely useful things. In giving attention to the spectacular or pretentious ones. ? F^rt Wayne News-Sentinel. His First Experience A young couple, recently married, had bee? riding with some friends.
