The nerves of all three were at their highest tension when a dark form swept past through the air within a yard of their faces. Miss Leslie uttered a stifled scream and Blake brandished his club. But Wlnthrope, who had caught a glimpse of the creature's shape, broke into a nervous laugh. "It's only a fruit bat," he explained. "They feed on the banyan figs, you know.", In the reaction from this false alarm, both men relaxed and began to yield to the effects of the tramp across the mud-flatArranging 'the reeds as best they could they stretched out on either side of Miss Leslie and fell asleep in the middle of an argument on how the prospective leopard was mostly likely to attack. Miss Leslie remained awake for two or three hours longer. Naturally she was more nervous than her companions, and she had been refreshed by her afternoon's nap. Her nervousness was not entirely due to the wild beasts. Though Blake had taken pains to secure himself and his companions in loops of the creeper, fastened to the branch above, Wlnthrope moved about so restlessly in his sleep that the girl feared he would roll from the hollow. so At last her limbs became cramped that she was compelled to She leaned change her position. back upon her elbow, determined to rise again and maintain her watch the moment she was rested. But sleep was close upon her. There was n lull in the louder noises of the Jun gle. Her eyes closed, and her head sank lower. In a little time it was ly ing upon Winthrope's shoulder and she was fast asleep. As Blake had asserted, the mos qultoes had either been blown away by the cyclone or did not fly to such a height.

Wait till you've tramped around a week, with nothing to eat but your shoes." "Surely, Mr. Blake, It will not be so bad!" protested Miss Leslie.

"Sure six weeks' training on air pudding. I can do better with a handful of stones." "Then we should go at once to the cliffs," said Miss Leslie. "Now you're talking and it's Pike Peak or bust for ours. Here's one night to the good; but we won't last many more if we don't get fire. It's flints we're after now." "Could we not make fire by rubbing sticks?" said Wlnthrope, recalling his suggestion of the previous morning.

"I can see the ground clearly, and there is not a sign of the beasts." "There are the bones what's left ot them," added Blake. "It's a small deer, I suppose. Well, here goes." He threw down his club and dropped the loose end of the creeper after 1L As the line straightened he twisted the upper part around his leg and was about to slide to the ground when he remembered Miss Leslie.
