I. I violent fit fil of ot hysterics that showed how thoroughly thorough her nature na na- ture turo had been stirred to Its depths he hc quite frightened Hazel and Ind In Indeed In- In d deed cd tho the strength of or an excited woman's womans wom worn ans an's weakness Is Ig som sometimes alarming to manly natures He did Id all he Ire could to soothe h her r without much success As soon as she was better he set sail thinking home was the best hest place for tOl her She leant back exhausted and after a awhile awhile while seemed vP be asleep We Vc dont don't believe belle she was but Hazel did and I sat cold and aching aching- jn In bod body but warm at heart worshipping her tel with all nil his eyes I At last they got ashore and anti ho Ire sat by the tire lire fire and told her all while she cooked his supper and warmed clothes at the fire for him Che he ship saul said h he lie was wa a 0 Dutch vessel bound from to Callao that Imd probably gone on her beam ends for sire she he was full rull of water Her lIer crew Clew bad abandoned her hel I think the they underrated the tire buoyancy o of the tire ship and cargo carco They left the tire poor dog log dogon on board Her lIel helm was la lashed hed a er or a couple of turns but hul why that wa was as done I cannot tell for fOl the life of meI me I boarded her unshipped my ny mast am and moored the tire boat hoat to the ship fed th the poor dog rummaged In the hold ant and contrived to hoist up a small sinaI cask o of salted beef beM and a Q k keg g o of rum rum an ansome and some ome cases of grain and seeds I managed managed managed man man- aged to slide these onto the reef reet b by means o of the mast and oar lashed to to- to gether But Burt a roller rollel ground the wreck farther onto the tire reef and the tire sudden snap broke the rope as I suppose am anti and the boat went to sea I J never ne knew kne the misfortune till un I saw her adrift I could have got over oven that b by making a raft laft hut but the gale from tho the north brought blought such a sea on us I saw sh sire sho must break up so I got ashore hovI how hov 1 I could Ah Air I little thought to se seyour see your our face again still less that I should owe m my life to you ou Spare me inc said Helen lIchen faintly What must I not riot thank you even for m my life No uNo TIre The account is far from even yet You are aro no arithmetician to sa taj say so What astonishes me inc most is that tha you have never once scolded me mo for foi all the trouble and anxiety anxiety anxiety- I I am too happy haply to see sec you sitting there to scold cold you But still I do ask i you ou to leave tIre the sea alone after aCter this The Ire treacherous monster 0 O think what you and I have suffered on It ft It She Sire seemed secured quite mite worn out He lie saw that and retired for the nl night ht casting one more wistful glance glanco on her Buat But Bu at nt that moment she was afraid to look at him Her heart was welling over with tenderness for the tho dear lear friend whose life sire she had irad save saved Next morning Hazel Hmel rose at daybreak daybreak day day- break breal as usual but found himself stiff In tIre the joints and with a a. pain In hi Iris his back Tire The mat that hung truing at the tire opening of or Helens Helen's cave cae was not re removed removed removed re- re moved as usual She was on her bed with a violent headache Ha Hazel el fed Ponton and corrected him hinr He was at present ent a LL civilized dog log so SQ he made a weak weale rush at the boobies and directly He lie also smelt Tommy inquisitively to learn w waa as he an eatable Tommy somehow divined the tho end of oC this tins sinister sinister sin sin- ister curiosity and showed his teeth Then Hazel got a rope roe and tied one end md round his own waist and one round Pontos Ponto's neck and at er c every outbreak of ot civilization Jerked him sharply on to his back The effect of or this tins discipline was rapid Ponto soon toon found that he must not make malee war on the Inhabitants of oC tho the island He lie was a docile animal and In a ver very short time consented to make one of ot the happy happ family as Hazel called cane the miscellaneous crew tha that beset beet him Helen and Hazel did not meet till pa past t noon and when the they did dill meet It was sas plain she sire had been thinking a great deal for tor her greeting was so shy and restrained as to appear cold and distant to Hazel He thought to himself I was too happy yesterday and she sire too kind Of Ot course courso It could not last This change In her seemed scorned to grow gro rather than tiran diminish She carried It so far as to go 0 and almost hide during the working hours She made off orr to the Jungle and spent an unreasonable time Ume there She Sire professed professed professed pro pro- to b bo be collecting cotton and It must be admitted sho she brought blought a good deal home with her hel But nut Hazel could not accept cotton as the tho only motive for this sudden separation Ho He lost of oC her face faco till Ull the evening Then matters took another turn she sho was too polite Ceremony an and courtesy appeared to be gradually encroaching upon tender friendship and familiarity yet now anti and then thon her hI soft oft hazel eyes seemed to turn on him him in silence and 81 say forgive e me meau au all this tins Then rhen at those sweet looks love and forgiveness poured out of hiI lii In- In I eyes yes A And t then Ir err hers sought sough t tir the e gron ground tn i. i j I And Aird
