Should they, by biding, elude tbe natives tonight, It would be but a respite. Tbe same danger would surround them every moment they spent here; they could never know peace or safety. For some reason these natives were hostile; something must be done to overcome their hostility. Until and unless a friendly compact could be made, they must be forced to leave the two white people alone, through fear. All this he explained to the girl, who recognized the wisdom of it, as well aa what she deemed tbe Impossibility. "Two! Against, possibly, hundreds! How can we make them fear us?" she asked hopelessly. "Through tbelr superstition," be re-plied promptly. "Doc make them believe we deal with the supernatural, or possess magical powers, and they will make ua tabu.
