We’ve got a penknife” “Well then I can swim” “Bully for you! GueSs though we’ll try something else The river is chuck full of alligators What you waiting for Pat? We haven’t got all day to fool around here" Winthrope twisted the creeper about his leg and slid to the ground doing He all he could to favor his hands found that he could walk without pain and at once stepped over beside Blake’s club nervously glancing around at the jungle Blake jerked up the end of the creeper and passed the loop about Miss Leslie Before she had time to become frightened he swung her over and lowered her to the ground lightly as a feather He followed hand under hand and stood for a moment beside foliher' staring at the Then the remains age of the jungle of the night’s quarry caught his eye and he walked over to examine them “Say Pat” he called “these don’t I’d say— yes look like deer bones there’s the feet — it’s a pig” “Any tusks?” demanded Winthrope A heap of Miss Leslie looked away bones however cleanly gnawed is hot a pleasant sight The skull of the but animal seemed to be missing Blake stumbled upon it in a tuft of grass and kicked it out upon the open Every shred of hide and ground gristle had been gnawed from it by the jackals yet if there had been any doubt as to the creature’s identity there was evidence to spare in the savfrom the age tusks which projected Jaws “this old boar must have been something of a scrapper his own self” “In India they have been known to Can you knock out the kill a tiger Purdy vegetable gently on the liver eliminate bile and tooth the delicate membrane of of the boweL Care Cea tipatioa fiiitoas' GENUINE by A C McCturg SYNOPSIS observed Blake CARTER’S LITTLE LIVER PILLS Sick Headache (Copyright Small signature TREASURY Pric® t STOCK Is now being sold (by nnillonly)at partlO per share fortbo pnrposeor starllnir factory fnr the tnani MYB BKAN1" shoes of Montgomery stock will go to per share Soon: Mil Y IT Send OASIl for and MARK BUI MONEY one or more shares and receive stock by return EKY Ileinlt direct to the JHOMTOOM mail SU (Anchor Button) SHOE CO OF AMERICA IwaU In U'hla NOW TAKE A DOSE OF CURE m list ivmi m It will instantly relieve that tacking cough Taken promptly it will often prevent Asthma Bronchitis and serious throat and Guaranteed safe and very lung troubles palatable AH Drnaaists 25 cants tusks?” “What for?” “Well you said we had nothing for arrow points — " “Good boy! We’ll cinch them and ask questions later” A few blows with the club loosened the tusks Blake handed them over to Winthrope together with the whisky flask and led the way to the patch through the thicket A free use of his club made the path a little more worthy of the pame and as there was less need of haste than on the previous evening Winthrope and Miss Leslie came through with Once on only a few fresh scratches soon open ground again they gained the fallen palms At a word from Blake Miss Leslie hastened to fetch nuts for Winthrope to husk and open Blake who had plucked three leaves from a fan palm near the edge of the jungle began to split long shreds from one of the huge leaves of a cocoanut palm This gave him a quantity of coarse stiff fiber part of which he twisted la a cord and used to tie one of the leaves of the fan palm over her head "How’s that for a bonnet?” he demanded bore so The improvised grotesque a resemblance to a recent type of picture hat that Winthrope could not repress a derisive laugh Miss Leslie however examined the hat and gave her opinion without a “I think it is sign of amusement If we must go splendid Mr Blake out In the sun again It la just the thing to protect one” “Yes Here’s two more I’ve fixed for you Ready yet Winthrope?” The Englishman nodded and the three sat down to their third feast of cocoanuts Thev were hungry enough at the start and Blake added no little keenness even to his own appetite by a grim joke on the slender prospects of the next meal to the effect that if in the meantime not eaten themselves they might possibly find their next meal within a week lut If we must move could we not take some of the nuts with us?” suggested Winthrope Blake pondered over this as he ate and when fully satisfied he helped himself up with his club he motioned the others to remain seated “There are your hats and the strings” he said “but you won’t need them now I’m going to take a prospect along the river and while I’m gone you can make a try at stringing nuts on some of this leaf fiber” “But Mr Blake do you think it’s quite safe?” asked Miss Leslie and she glanced from him to the jungle “Well noth“Safe?” he repeated ing ate you yesterday if that’s anything to go by It’s all I know about it” He did not wait for further protests Swinging his club on his shoulder he started for the break in the jungle which marked the hippopotamus path The others looked at each other and Miss Leslie sighed “If only he were a gentleman!” she complained Winthrope turned abruptly to the ' cocoanuts CHAPTER VII Around the Headland was mid morning before Blake reappeared He came from the mangrove swamp where it ran down into the sea His trousers were smeared to the thigh with slimy mud but as he approached the drooping brim of his hat failed to hide his exultant expression “Come on!” he called “I’ve struck it We’ll be over in half an hour” “How’s that?” asked Winthrope T Stopped to Survey the Coast Beyond “Bar” answered Blake hurrying forward “Sling on your hats and get into my coat again Miss Jenny The How about sun’s hot as yesterday the nuts?" “Here they are Three strings all that I fancied we could carry” explained Winthrope “All right The big one is mine I suppose I’ll take two We’ll leave the other Lean on me if your ankle is still weak” “Thanks I can make it alone But must we go through mud like that?” Come “Not on this side at least on! We don’t want to miss the ebb” Blake's impatience discouraged He had turned as further inquiries he spoke and the others followed him The pace was walking close together sharp for Winthrope and his ankle He was comsoon began to twinge pelled to accept Miss Leslie’s invitation to take her arm With her help he managed to keep within a few yards of Blake Instead of plunging into the mangrove wood which here was undergrown with a thicket of giant ferns Bluke skirted around in the open unThe til they came to the seashore tide was at its lowest and he' waved his club towards a long sand pit which curved out around the seaward edge Whether this was of the mangroves part of the river’s bar or had been heaped up by the cyclone would have been beyond Winthrope’s knowledge -- v had the question occurred to him II was enough for him that the sand was smooth and hard as a race track Presently the party came to the end of the spit where the river water rippled over the Band with the last feeble of the ebb On their right they had a sweeping view of the river around the flank of the manBlake halted at the grove screen edge of the water and half turned “Close up" he said “It’s shallow enough but do you see those logs over on the Those are alligators” — me to wade and expect you “Mercy among such creatures?” cried Miss Ijeslie “I went almost across an hour ago and they didn't bother me any Come on! There’s a wind in that cloud out Inside half an hour the seaward surf’ll be rolling up on this bar like all Niagara” “If we must we must Miss Genevieve” urged Winthrope "Step behind me and gather up your skirts It's best to keep one’s clothes dry in the tropics” The girl blushed and retained his nrm “1 prerer to nt?p you” 6he replied “Come on!” called Blake' and he splashed out into the water The others followed within nervously conscious of the rows of motionless reptiles on the t not 100 vards distant In the center of the bar where the water was a trifle over some large creature ' came darting downstream beneath the surface and passed with a violent swirl between Blake and his companions At Miss Leslie’s scream Blake whirled about and jabbed with his club at the supposed alligator Has he got “Where’s the brute? you?” he shouted “No no he went by!” gasped Winthrope "There he is!” A long bony snout fringed on either side by a row of lateral teeth was flung up Into view “Sawfish!” said Blake and he waded on across the bar without further comment Miss Leslie had been on the point of fainting The tone of Blake’s voice revived her instantly There were no more scares A few minutes later they waded out upon a stretch of clean sand on the south of the river Before them the beach lay in a flattened curve which at the far end hooked sharply to the left and appeared to terminate at the foot of the towering limestone cliffs of the A mile or the headland river jungle edged in close to the cliffs but from there to the beach the forest was separated from the wall of rock by a little Bandy plain covered with creeping plants and small palms The greatest width of the open space was hardly more than a quarter of a mile Blake paused for a moment at mark and Winthrope instantly squatted down to nurse his ankle “I say Blake” he said “can't you It is find me some kind of a crutch? only a few yards around to those trees” “Good Lord! you haven't been fool enough to overstrain that ankle — Yes Dammit! why couldn’t you you have tell me before?” “It did not feel so painful in the water” “I helped the best 1 could” inter“I think If you posed Miss Leslie could get Mr Winthrope a crutch — ” “How “Crutch!” growled Blake long do you think it would take me to wade through the mud? And look at that cloud! We’re in for a squall Here!” He handed the gijl the smaller string of cocoanuts flung the other up the beach and stooped for Winthrope to mount his back He then started off along the beach at a sharp trot Miss Leslie followed as best she could the heavy cocoanuts swinging about with every step and bruis'ng her tender body The wind was coming faster than Blake had calculated Before they had run 200 paces they heard the roar of water and the squall struck them with a force that almost overthrew the girl With the wind came torrents of rain that drove through their thickest garments and drenched them to the skin within the first Blake slackened his pace to a walk and plodded sullenly along beneath the driving downpour He kept to the lower edge of the beach where the sand was firmest for the force of the falling deluge beat down the waves and held in check the breakers which the wind sought to roll up the beach The rain storm was at its height when they reached the fo it of the cliffs The gray rock toweV-’above Blake dethem 30 or 40 feet high posited Winthrope upon a wet ledge and straightened up to scan the headland Here and there ledges ran more than up the rocky wall in other places the crest was notched by deep clefts but nowhere within sight did either offer a continuous path to Blake grunted with disthe summit gust “It’d take a fire ladder to get up this “We’ll have to try side” he said the other if we can get around the point I’m going' on ahead You can follow after Pat has rested his ankle Keep a sharp eye out for anything in the flint line — quartz or agate That means fire Another thing when this rain blows over don't let your clothes I’ve got my hands full dry on you enough without having to nurse yon Don’t forget through malarial fever the cocoanuts and if I don’t show up by noon save me some” He Btooped tp drink from a pool In the rock which was overflowing with the cool pure rainwater and started off at his sharpest pace Winthrope and Miss Leslie seated side by side m dripping misery watched him swing the rain without away through energy enough to call out a parting word Beneath the cliff the sand heath was succeeded by a talus of rocky debris which In places sloped up from the water 10 or 15 feet The lower part of the slope consisted of bowlders stones over which the and surf reinforced by the rising tide was beginning to break with an angry roar Blake picked his way quickly over the smaller stones near the top of the slope now and then bending to snatch up a fragment that seemed to differ from the others Finding nothing but limestone he soon turned his attention solely to the passage around the headland Here he had expected to find the surf much heavier But the shore was protected by a double line of reefs so close in that channel between did not show a whitecap This was fortunate since in places the talus here sank down almost to the level of low tide Even a moderate surf would have rendered farther progress impracticable Another 100 paces brought Blake to the second corner of the cliff which jutted out in a little point He clambered around it and stopped to survey the coast beyond Within the last few minutes the equal- had blown over and the rain began to moderate The sun its downpour bursting told that the through the clouds storm was almost past and its flood of direct light cleared the view (TO
