Indeed, she thought bitterly, as ahe

the night, that the reat of the world

The nails In her snots, the steel of
her corset had rusted away and left
no sign. There was nothing remaining
but the two little baubles pressing
against her own warm fleBh.
So Intent had she been that the sun
had gone down before she ceased and
upon the island there descended that
quick ana sudden night of the tropics.
The wind had risen, the old ocean was
thundering on the barrier reef and a
heavy
ence the day before. What would they
tell her? She could scarcely wait un-
til morning to look. So she woke and
slept and woke and slept until the
day broke.
It was bright and sunshiny out, al-
though there were ominous clouds all
about the western horizon. It was
probable that the rainy season was at
hand, if not upon them. She re-
cnees.
There were the hairpins, also, for
which she was most grateful. They
enabled her to keep her hair in order.
She had a wealth of glorious hair,
black as the midnight sky. With the
aid of the mirror and of the comb,
which, also was a priceless treasure!
sea breeze was shrill™ ' " DOt upon them' She re"
the trees. The «kv on thf ' K.retted that Bhe had not K*™ more
through the trees. The sky on the
horizon was overclouded and the
clouds were rising rapidly. There
would be a storm, which was develop-
ing with tropic rapidity. Quickly she
retraced her steps along the sand
toward the cave on the other side, the
man following.
They had progressed not more than
half way when the storm bust upon
them. Peals of thunder and flashes
of lightning filled the air. It was such
a display of the Titanic forces of na-
ture as might have appalled the stout-
est heart. It filled the woman with a
vague terror. She noticed with sat-
isfaction that the man was entirely
unmoved by the terrific demonstra-
tions of nature. By the flashes of
lightning as they stumbled along in
the otherwise total blackness she
could see his face aerene. In a mo-
ment of apprehension she caught his
hand with her own and clung to it
tightly. It waa the unconscious appeal
of the physical weaker to the physical
stronger. Her hand had clasped the
handa of her fellow creatures many
timea. Never before had his palm
met the palm of human being, much
leas a woman's. She could feel that
tremor run through him, but by in-
stinct, as It were, he met her hand
clasp with his own, and together they
Bade their way to the cave.
They had scarcely reached it when
the rain burst upon them. The beavena
were opened, the floods descended,
they beat upoh the sands In fury. She
oould not drive him out there In that
flood for the night. She motioned
him to come within the entrance of
the cave which was sheltered from the
wind and which was dry and still. She
made him lie down near the entrance
and then, withdrawing herself into a
recess at the side, she disposed of the
oars, which she had carried home on
her shoulders, in front of her from
wall to wall and lashing them with
the rope to her person made another
feeble barrier, but which would yet
give the alarm to her and waken her
if it were moved. And presently she
went to sleep. She was too tired
even to speculate on her discoveries
or to piece them together; that would
be occupation for the morning.
CHAPTER V.
The Voices of the Paat.
It rained hard during most of the
night. The woman slept lightly and
whenever she woke she could hear
outside of her sanctuary the roar of
the atorm. The man, as usual, slept
the long hours through as undisturbed
by the commotion as a child. It was
apparent to her that he had absolutely
no fear. Whether this was due to Ig-
norance or temperament she could
not say. Was fear, after all. under the
conditions in which his life hud been
lived, a purely artificial quality, or was
it natural and Inherent? He had
avoidances, abhorrences, antipathies,
as the skeletons In the coppice which
she had burled. Was that avoidance
fear or was It something else? Was
it instinct or did It arlne from recol-
lection? She rather fancied the Inst.
If so, It was evident that the man had
been on the Islund a long time. It
would have taken years for the metal
that must have been about that
woman's person to ruat sway, for the
ateel clasps of the doga collar entire-
ly to dlaappear.
Upon tbat faint memory that he
cherished, upon that prayer that he
prayed, ahe could build the foundation
of hie education. She had been ao auc-
ceaaful in training him and In restrain-
lac Mm, la Influencing him and away*
lag him ao far that ahe had abundant
confidence In her ability to do ao to
the end. It was quite evident that life
would be easily aupported under the
condlUoaa la which It *uat be lived
oa that laland. She need have no
physical concern as to her material
well being or comfort and here waa
mental education and stimulus which
made her for the time being forget
time to the study of nature, to the
fauna and flora of the South seas, to
the conditions of wind and weather
under which life was lived there. Much
philosophy would she gladly have
parted with for s'ich practical Infor-
mation. She h>4 to piece her ideas
of affairs out from scraps &nd tags of
knowledge, unclassified, incoherent;
from vague recollections of childhood
stories and romances; from carelessly
scanned collections of voyages, books
of travel and adventure. The result
was unsatisfactory. In some particu-
lars the instinctive man before her
was her master. At the things which
went to make up physical comfort and
well being in a state of absolute na-
ture he certainly surpassed her.
She was thankful when she walked
abroad that she had the shelter of the
cave, for everything was drenched
from the terrific downpour. If it was
the beginning of the wet season she
knew that the rains would soon come
again. Still she luxuriated in what
freedom she had. Without removing
her single garment she plunged into
the lagoon for a refreshing bath. The
man followed her and swam about her
moving slowly, with less skill than
she, but as easily as a porpoise
plunges about the bow of a progress-
ing ship.
Refreshed, she came back to the
mouth of the cave and brought thence
for a careful inspection all her
worldly possessions, save the little
heap of clothing which she had care-
fully piled upon the jutting shelf in
the shadow of the cave for time of
need. She ranged them on the sands
before her. There was the Bible and
the little sliver box which she had
found in the cave. She examined
more critically Its contents, wondering
she arranged it carefully according to
the mode which best became her.
Sometimes when she had finished her
toilet, she shot a glance at the watch-
ful man, a human, natural instinctive
glance, but she was able to detect no
change in his mental attitude, which

looked upon her as he might have

There was also the pair of scissors,
together with the little housewife with
needles and thread. Mirror, hairpin^,
scissors, sewing materials, comb-
woman's gear and the Bible, a
woman's book, she reflected with a cer-
tain bitterness, unconscious of the
truth of her thought—a book for chil-
dren, old women, and women-led men!
Well, that philosophy upon which ahe
prided hersslf .must come to her as-
sistance now and she oould not afford
to disdain the volume which was all
that the world of many booka offered
to her for her purpose, because she
did not believe In it. The truth was
in her and she could tell him what it
was despite the assertion of the
printed pages.
In the leather bag there was abao-
lutely nothing except broken g'«M
and acratched bottle tope of silver and
the bag itself was ruined. She sepa-
rated the pieces of metal and the
metal fittings of the bag, which were
also of silvar, and filling the rotting
leather with sand she presently sank
it In the lagoon.
Last of all she examined what she
had brought from the other shore of
the island the night before. The sil-
ver was tarnished, but by rubbing it in
the sand she soon brightened it.
