When, having satisfied his thirst, he returned somewhat hurriedly to the fire, he was startled by the sight of a pale face gazing at him from between the leaves of the bamboo screen. "My dear Miss Genevieve, what Is the matter?" he exclaimed. "Hush! Is he asleep?" "Like a top." "Thank heaven! "Good ulght er I say, Miss Gen evlove " But the girl disappeared, and Wlnthrope, after a glance at Blake's placid face, hurried along the cleft to stack the other fire.

Would It save much bother if a door was made and you and Mr. Wlnthrope should sleep Inside?" "We ll see about that later," replied Blake, carelessly. The girl bit her Hp, and the tears started to her eyes. Even Winthrope had started off without expressing his appreciation. Yet he at least should have realized how much It had cost her to make such an offer. By evening she had her tree-cavhouse, she preferred to name It to her selfIn a habitable condition. When the purifying fire had burnt Itself out, leaving the place free from all odors other than the wholesome smell of wood smoke, she had asked Blake how she could rake out the ashes. His advice was to wet them down where they lay. This was easier said than done Fortunately the spring was only a few yards distant, and after many trips, with her palm-lea- f hat for bowl, the girl carried enough water to sprinkle all the powdery ashes. Over them she strewed the leaves and grass which she had gathered while the fire was burning. The driest of the grass, ar ranged In a far corner, promised a more comfortable bed than had been her lot for the last three nights. During this work she had been care ful not to forget the fire at the tree. Yet when, near sundown, she called the third meal of leopard meat, Blake grumbled at the tree for being what he termed such a confounded tough proposition. "Good thing there's lots of wood here. Win." he added. "We'll keep this fire going till the blamed thing top ples over, If it takes a year." "Oh, but you surely will not stay exso far from the baobab claimed Miss Leslie. "Hold hard!" soothed Blake. ""You've no license to get the Jumps yet a while. We'll have another Are by the baobab. So you needn't worry." A few minutes later they went back to the baobab, and Wlnthrop began Leslie to construct a helping Mlt-bamboo screen in the narrow entrance whllo Blake built of the tree-cavthe second fire. As Wlnthrope was unable to tell time by the starB, Blake took the first watch. At sunset, following the engineer's advice, Winthrope lay down with his feet to the small watch-fire- , and was asleep before twilight had deepened Into night. Fagged out by the mental and bodly stress of the day, he slept so soundly that It seemed to him he hardly lost consciousness when he was roused by a rough hand on his forehead. "What Is It?" he mumbled. "'Bout one o'clock," said Blake. "Wake up! I ran overtime, 'cause the morning watch Is the toughest. Hut I can't keep 'wake any longer." "I say, this Is a beastly bore," remarked Wlnthrope, sitting up. "a-itt,"grunted Blake, who was alanlla. ijt mnu, back. on his ready added Winthrope.

',,f Z "'kchl cc e ll.nl s after sunrise Miss Leslie was awakened by the snap and dull crash of a falling tree. She made a hasty toilet and ran out around the baobab. The burned tree, eaten half through by the fire, had been pushed over against the cliff by Blake and Winthrope. Both had already climbed up and now stood on the edge of the cliff. "Hello, Miss Jenny!" shouted Blake. "We've got here at last Want to come tip?" "Not now, thank you." . "It's easy enough. But you're right Try your hand again at the cutlets, won't you? While they're frying we'll get some eggs for dessert How does that strike you?" "We have no way to cook them." "Roast 'em In the ashes. So long!" Miss Leslie cooked breakfast over the watchfire, for the other had been scattered and stamped out by the men when the tree fell. They came back In good time, walking carefully, that they might not break the eggs with which their pockets bulged. Between them, they had brought a round dozen and a half. Blake promptly began stowing all In the hot ashes, while Winthrope related their little adven ture with unwonted enthusiasm. "You should have come with us, Miss Genevieve," he began. "This time of day It Is glorious on the cliff top. Though the rock is bare, there ls a fine view" "Fine view of grub near the end,' interpolated Blake. "As, yes; the birds you must take a look at them, Miss Genevieve! The sea end of the cliff Is alive with them hundreds and thousands, all huddled together and fighting for room. They are a sight, I assure you! They're plucky, too. It was well we took sticks with us. As It was, one of the gannets boobies, Blake calls them caught me a nasty nip when I went to lift her off the nest." "Best way Is to kick them off," explained Blake. "But the point Is that we've hopped over the starvation stile. Understand? The whole blessed cliff end is an omelette waiting for our pan. Pass the leopardettes, Miss Jenny." When the last bit of meat had disap peared, Blake raked the eggs from the ashes and began to crack them, sol emnly sniffing at each before he laid It on Its le. f platter. Some were a trifle "high." None, however, were thrown away. When It was all over, Wlnthrope contemplated the scattered shells with a satisfied air. Do you know," he remarked, "this Is the first time I've felt er re plenished since we found those "How about one of 'cm now to ton off on?" questioned Blake. tTO UK CONTINUED.) Law.
