While the sun blazed, what with his devotions and his rabbit's foot and a cross of twigs nailed to a tree, Cookie felt a fair degree of security. But his teeth chattered In his head at the thought of approaching night. Meanwhile he could not In conscience permit me to venture forth Into the path of this horror, which might, for all we knew, be lurking In the jungle shadows, even through the daylight hours. Also, though he did not avow this motive, I believe he found my company very reassuring. It Is Immensely easier to face a ghost In the sustaining presence of other Mesh and blood. For a moment I wavered In my determination. What if the Island had Its wild creatures after all? But neither lynx nor panther nor any other beast of prey Is white, except a polar bear, and It would be unusual to meet one on a tropical island. I decided that Cookie's pig was after all a pig, though still in the flesh. I thought I remembered having seen quite fulr pigs, which would pass fo white with a frightened negro In the dim light of dawn. I consoled Cookie as best I could by promising to cross my fingers If I heard or saw anything suspicious, and struck out Into the COOKIE'S "HA'NT." (CHAPTER LL Continued). It waa fortunate that Cookie knew nothing of the solitary grave somewhere on the island, with Its stone marked with B. II. and a cross-bonenor that the inhabitant thereof was supposed to walk. If he had, I think the strange spectacle of a lone negro In a smnll rowing lustily for the American continent might soon have lieen witnessed on the Pacific by any eyes that were there to see.

I had turned my liack on Cookie and the camp, when I was arrested by an exclamation: I "Miss Jinny!"

I thought of my revolver and after an Infinity of time managed to draw It from the case. My fingers seemed at once nervelessly limp and woodenly rigid. This was not at all the daunt less front with which I had dreamed of meeting danger. I had fancied myself with my automatic making a rather pretty picture as a young Amazon but I had now a dreadful fear that my revolver might spasmodically go off and wound the Thing, and then. even If it had meditated letting me go. It would certainly attack me. Never theless I clung to my revolver as to my last hope. I began to edge away crab-wis- e Into the wood. Like a metronome I said to myself over and over monotonous ly, "Don't run, don't run!" I did not run. Instead, I stepped on a smooth surface of rock and slid downhill like a human toboggan until I fetched up against a dead log after a confused Interval during which I vaguely believed myself to have been swallowed by an alligator.

There I lay prone, absolutely at the mercy of the mysterious white prowler of the forest and I did not care. The whole pet. ty business of living seemed a long; way behind me now. Languidly at last I opened my eyes. Within three yards of me, in the open glade where I had. fallen, stood the Thing.

The dog gave a low whine and stood shivering, eager but afraid. I con. tlnued my blandishments. Little by little the forlorn creature drew nearer, until I put out a cautious hand and stroked his ears. He dodged but presently crept back again. Soon his head was against my knee, and he was devouring my hand Some time, bewith avid caresses. fore his abandonment on the island, he had been a and petted animal. Months or years ol wild life had estranged him from humanity, yet at the human touch tha old devotion woke again. The thing now was to lure him back to camp and restore him to the happy service of his gods. With another alluring, "Here, doggums!" I started on my way. He shrank, trembled, hesitated, then was after me with a bound. So I brought him triumphantly across the Ituhlcim of the little stream, and marched him Into camp under the astounded eyes of Cookie. At sight of the negro the dog growled softly and crouched against my skirt Cookie stood like an effigy of amazement done In Muck and white. "Fo' de I.awd'8 sake, Miss Jinny," he burst at last, "am dat de ghos'-plg?- " "It was. Cookie, but I changed him Into a live dog by crossing my fingers. Mind your rabbit's foot.
