There was abso lutely nothing else to lie seen. Disap pointed vaguely,-although she had ex pected nothing and bad gotten more, indeed, than she might have Imagined If she had thought about It, she laid the book and box down upon the ledge and went out again. She walked along the sands until she came to the place where she had landed the day be fore. The tide was low. She could see the wreck of her boat, partly on the barrier reef and partly in the water. It would have been no trick for her to swim to it In the stillness, yet she hesitated to attempt It. Cer tainly weighted down by all her cloth ing it was a,matter of difficulty and Inconvenience. If it were not for this man by her side! She tried to think of some way to restrain him, keep him away, but nothing occurred to her. In vention was paralyzed by the situation In which she found herself. Desperately bidding him stay where he was, she went back to the cave. She was face to face with a crisis which had to be met Indeed, the auestion of clothes was becoming a very serious one with her and sne knew she should have to decide upon some course of action immediately. I For the present, she took off her gar ments, hoping and praying In a shiver of dread and anxiety, that he would remain where Blie had left him, which indeed proved the fact. She laid aside all that she had worn except the blouse and skirt, including her sadly worn shoes and stockings. Thus light ly clad she came out o» the sand again. He did not notice any change in her condition. As a matter of fact she gave him no time, for Stop! Under what remained 'of a piece of thwart she caught a little gleam of metal. Calculating the dis tance nicely, she plunged in and dove. Keeping her eyes open she easily found the piece of metal, dislodged it froii the place where it had fallen and came to the surface with it. It was a sailor's sheath knife with a bit of lanyard fastened to it. She had had a fancy to wear it In her sailor's blouse and she had missed it since she had come ashore. But there was nothing else in the boat, not a thing nothing on the bar rier reef.- She tried to pull the stern away where it had been wedged, but found that impossible. She tugged at it valiantly, but could not move It In despair she turned to the man who had watched silently as usual and pointed. He seemed to understand, for he came and with great eifort lifted the torn part of the boat from the rocks and laid it down at her feet. She threw it into the water, where, of course, as It was wood, it floated easily. Then, with a nod to him she plunged in and together they guided it to the shore, he taking his cue from her action. Sh« had a fancy to test his strength and she managed to convey to him by signs, mainly by trying herself in vain to pull it apart, what she wished him to do. The impossible to her was child's play to him, and in a moment the several pieces of the boat which made up the stern were scattered on the beach. There was one straight piece which went across the stern of the boat and made a little box for the coxswain to sit In, which would do for a shovel. It was too wide, .but she broke it against a big stone and was possessed of what she wanted. The ends were rough and serrated and unfit for her hands, but these she smoothed by the aid of her knife. She sharpened the other end and soon had a rude semblance of a shovel. She in tended to use that on the boat on the sand the next day. Finished with this, she looked at the man and sighed In despair. Could she ever get rid of him? Instantly there flashed into her mind that which she had before overlooked as ef no moment. 'A long,- heavy boat rope, the boat's painter, she had noticed when she dove lay floating by the Bide of the boat from which It had not been Bevered. An idea came to her. Dropping the .shevel.'and followed by her satellite, shetfewngsd In once more and again swam to the boat. Wasting no time, she dove as before, found the rope and having previously opened her knife, cut' it -quickly and came to the surface gasping. There were perhaps 10 or 12 feet of It. It was a stout piece of rope, of unusual quality, as had been every thing on board the yacht. very best of stuff had gone into It Sfcd she did not believe any man on earth could break It. She had amused her self on the cruise by learning the rudi ments of searoaashlE and she could tie knots like any sailor. This little ac complishment was to stand her in good stead She wrapped the rope around her neck, plunged in the la goon for the third time, and swam once more to the shore. She led the way up the sands to the palm grove. Then she tied the rope around the man's neck, not In a slip noose, of course, but in a hard circle, and quickly made a running bowline around the nearest tree. He had not made the slightest resistance. Hg had no idea evidently of what she was do ing 9X the purport of her motions. Then rife, and went away from, him .quickly. Me started for her at once and was nearly Jerked from his feet by the tautening of the rope. It was a new situation for him, yet his hands instinctively went to his throat and he strove to tear away the noose, putting forth such a prodigious amount of strength that she stood in horror lest he should part the lashing. But it was made of Btout stuff and he had no purchase although he pulled until the sweat stood out on his forehead from the violence of his efforts, they were of no avail. She had not dared to interfere or to say a word, but when she saw his efforts slacken, she oolnted to the sands to indicate to him that he was to sit down, and then sne went away conscious that while the rope held she was free. She was con* sclous of another thing, too, and that was that he was learning a sad and bitter lesson of physical restraint to which he had never before been sub ject She had rejoiced in his companion ship, of course. It had given her some thing to do, her mind something to work upon, and would do more in the future, but she never enjoyed a mo ment's freedom more. She ran to the little amphitheater formed by the cliffs where the cave was and throw ing aside her blouse and skirt, she lux uriated In a bath in the fresh, cool, delightful waters of the pool at the base of. the fall. There was a certain amount of apprehension, for, of course, he might break his tether at any time, but she was sufficiently confident not to let thiB Bhe flashed across the sand at full speed and plunged boldly intoifhe smiling water of the lagoon. He followed her in stantly and swam by her side with scarcely any exertion whatever. It was not long before she reached the barrier reef. It stood up a foot or two above the water now, the tide be ing low, and she clambered upon' it. The sharp rocks cut her naked and tender feet, unused to such exertions and unfitted to such demands, but she persevered. The boat had been beaten to pieces. It had been forced over the reef by the hurl of the sea. The stern bad been wedged in between Borne projecting rooks. The rest of It had been torn away and had fallen into the lagoon. There was no wind, the sea was unruffled. She could Bee as if through a glass the wrecked re mains of the boat. There take away the pleasure she felt in the bath of fresh water after the long experience with the salt seas. If she had had a cake of soap she. would have been completely happy. She had much to do and she could not linger. For one thing, she bad to face the problems of clothes. She had absolutely nothing when she landed except what Bhe wore. Besides the usual underwear these consisted of her blue serge blouse and skirt—a short skirt at that—and a silk petti coat. She left the blouse and skirt E waB nothing in it except the battered motor, use less for days before she landed, since lier supply of gasoline had been ex hausted. Everything else had been washed out of It and carried into the deeper recesses of the lagoon where they were inaccessible to the. human vlaion. A Gleaming Figure Like an Olympian Goddess. outside on the rocks where they would soon dry in the sun. They had been wetted so often that there was no pos sibility of their shrinking further. Then she took stock of the rest With needles and thread, of which she possessed some store in the housewife which had been saved from her bag, she thought she could make shift to manufacture three or four garments, open at the neck, without sleeves and with sklrtB that came to the knee, garments just sufficient for modesty. There was no ot|ier need for clothes, so far aB that went, In that balmy island. Naturally she shrank from this, bnt unless she restarted to thlB expedient her clothes would wear out all at once. Indeed, they were in none too good a condition as it was, and when they were worn out she would have nothing. She would not have best tated a moment had it not been tor the man, but man or not, the decision in her mind was one to which she must come. I Unlike most overeducated women, she was still expert with her needle, and as her garments were to be of the simplest she had not much diffl culty in making over her silk skirt In the way she fancied. Belted In at the walBt, it would do. She would use the rope that bound the man for that pur* I pose, keeping It always about her. She had, of course, but one pair of stock* 'ings and one pair of light canvas boat ing shoes, which were almost cut to pieces. She would have to go bare foot. Putting her blue serge dress and the rest of her clothing carefully away, lnculding her shoes and stookings, she stepped out on the sands, bare armed, bare footed, a gleaming figure like to an Olympian goddess. She was a woman naturally dark in- complexion, and while the sun would probably burn her cruelly and burn her young flesh, never exposed to its intensity, darker, she would, not grow red or blister. She was thankful for that with unconscious femininity. At any rate, she must get used to going out in the fiub without I a hat, too. People, natives-who were born and lived in this latitude, did become accustomed to "such things, she knew, so undoubtedly could she. With these thoughts, she stepped around the, headland' and walked across the beach toward the palm tree where she could'see In the fading light of the afternoon her prisoner was still tied. Modesty is a negative term. That which is Indecent exposure In a ball room Is the height of convention on a aea shore. Certainly this man had no concept of such a quality. He had not noticed before when she had come out barefoot to swim to the barrier reef, and yet somehow Bhe fancied as he stared at her approaching that this time he marked the difference. And a slow, flery blush flamed over her from her bare feet to her bare bead, ex tended along her bare arms. She stopped under the persuasion of im pulse to turn and go back to the cave and resume her clothing, at least so long as it might last. But she was a woman of strong will. She reasoned that all the emotions to which She was subject were is her own bosom that tte- aas ttftw tor nvujter csrea as to iBe tilings wnicn ttma her. So she went on. She had in her hand the sailor's knife, with the blade open. She coult not tell exactly In what mood her prisoner might be. Indeed, she ap proached him with a certain terror, accounted for partly by the situation and partly by the fact that in mak ing this change In her garments she had, as it were, cut herself off from civilisation and brought herself in some degree at least nearer bis physi cal level. But she could not leave htm there all night. Summoning her cour age, therefore, and with a bold front before him, she advanced to the tree and untied the rope from the trunk and untied It from his neck as well. He stood silent unresisting through it all, a rather pitiful figure she thought at first, until he was freed from the degrading halter. Then she waited in Intense and eager curiosity as to what he should do next. The iron In his situation had eaten into his soul. He had been mas tered by force. He could not under stand it. He did not love the mastery." Still, without the knowledge of his own powers, there occurred to him no way to resent the Ignominy to which he had been subjected. He turned and walked away from her. She stood, amazed, staring after him. It was the first time he had withdrawn himself from her presence. Where was he going? Was this a declaration of war? Was there to be enmity between them? In vague terror, moved by a sudden Impulse again, she called him. "Man!" she said. He stopped, hesitated, looked back, turned and went An again. He was deeply hurt She could not see. him go. It was unthinkable that he should go. He was dangerous away from her. By her side she could control him. "Man!" she called again. But this time he did not heed. An idea sprang to her )rain, working quickly under the pressure. She lifted op her voice, for he was far from her now and plodding steadily, doggedly toward the treeB. 'John!" she cried. "John Revell Charnock!" And at that sound theiman stopped. He turned and looked at her again. "John!" she repeated. "John!" She approached him. As she did so: and when she could get near enough to him, she observed that- wrinkling, of the brow, that loos of amazement which she had noticed before. It was as if some latent memory, some recol lection of the past were struggling against the obscurity of years, as if something were endeavoring to thrust Itself through a sea of oblivion and forgetfulness that overwhelmed his mind, as if she were a voice which brought back things he could neither understand nor utter, and yet which meant something to him. "John!" she cried again, coming nearer to him. She thrust out her hand she touch ed him. Again she noticed that strange emotion consequent upon her touch.. She laid her hand upon his shoulder. There was amity, confidence, reas surance. She patted him as she might a dog. "John!" she said, and then she turned away and walked toward the shoro. Obediently he followed her. She thrust the knife between her walBt and the rope which she had rapidly twisted about her middle and walked on in triumph. If he had learned something, so had she. Some one else had called thiB man John in days gone by. The sound was not unfamiliar to him. He answered to his name. That was he, John Bevell Charnock! She felt as if she were entering upon the solution of the mystery of his pres ence. Perhaps tfte morrow would tell. She would examine that boat and those decaying evidences of humanity on the farther shore. She felt elated that night ere she went to sleep in the cave. The clew to the mystery she fancied was in her hand. She had such occupation before her as she had never hoped to come upon in a desert island, at least. The rope added to her security. By piling stones, before the entrance to the cave and reinforcing them with the boards from the wreck of the boat and some fallen tree branches on the shore, she made a! sort of a barrier to It, not a barrier that would have kept out of the cave any one who desired to enter, but one which would have to be re moved before one could enter. And she so arranged matters, tying the end of the rope to her wrist, that any at tempt to remove It would immediately, waken her. That night she slept ss eure and unmolested. CHAPTER IV. W# .5 Lesson and Labor. "i The task to which she set herself In the morning would ha^e been an Im possible one to many, women, and In. deed It was a hard one to her. The burled boat lay in the sand some rods distant from the nearest tree. There was absolutely no shelter from the fierce heat of the tropic sun. She was not yet fully accumstomed to It. and Indeed perhaps she never would be able to endure it without some sort of a head covering. She Improvised: a bonnet from the leaf of a low spring ing palm tree, which, with her remain ing handkerchief, Bhe" tied about her head. And then with her watchful friend by her side she descended the beach to the boat and began to dig.* It was hard and very tedibus work. With the flat make-shlft'shovel In the shape of the rough piece of board It was almost impossible to lift the sand. Yet she attacked the task resolutely and persevered sturdily for a long time until the sweat beaded her fore head, her back ached, her- hands, un used to manual toil of any kind, were almost blistered. She realized at last that she would have to give it over. She wondered as she ceased her labors whether the constant observa, Uon which the man had subjected her to would enable him to continue the work. As an experiment she handed him the shovel, stepped out of the ex cavation she had made 'and pointed toward It He understood instantly. She was surprised at the unusual quickness of his apprehension, for he set to work with a right good will and in a minute the sand was flying. She noticed half in envy how much more progress he made than she could ef fect. What was labor fcr her was play for him, and yet after a little space he stopped, threw down the shovel and looked at her. She had got in the habit of speak ing to him as If he understood, so she pointed to the shovel again, exclaim ing: "Pick it up and go op." Her meaning was obvious to him If her language was not It equally was evident to her that he had no desire whatever to proofed with his task, but he was still under the constraint ot her superior personality and presently he did as sbe bade him. It amused 1ft to reflect that to ril (gy. Mifs M' w- sons, so remakable as: almost to mala? his brain- reel and whirl, he was now learning the lesson of toil. If she could only keep pace with these great ab stract concepts she was putting into his being by giving him some mental realization of them, so that the spirit ual development would keep pace with the practical, she would bo thoroughly satisfied with her educational pro cesses. I She mused on the problem as he la bored silently and vigorously. He stopped once or twice, but she kept him to It, -a feat vastly greater than she realized, until the Interior of the boat, which was a small- ship's boat, a dinghy, had been entirely cleared out. She had watched carefully every 8he Watched Carefully Every Spade ful of Sand. spadefui of sand which had been tossed over the buried gunwales and now 9he searched eagerly the boat itself. Her inspection revealed nothing. There were lockers at either end. These she opened, finding nothing therein but mouldering remains of cloth, bags of some sort which she surmised might have contained ship's bread, and a little barrel or keg, which had probably carried water for the voyagers. The boat appeared to be in an ex cellent state of preservation. There were even a pair of oars lying on the thwarts. If she could have dug it out of the sand entirely, she fancied she could have launched it and used it. But such a task was utterly beyond her. Besides there would have been no gain In having the boat afloat. She would not dare to take It out beyond the barrier reef and there was nothing to row for In the lagoon. She easily broke the rotting lines with which the oars were secured and took them out. They would be useful perhaps in some way. And then after a long look at the boat and with a feel ing that her labor .had been mainly wasted, she was abbut to turn away when the thought struck her that sometimes boats carried the names of the ships to which they belonged on their bows or across their sterns. She had recourse to the shovel once more, .and after some deliberation essayed ,the Btern of the boat. It was not so hard to shovel the sand away from It and here she did make a discovery, for although the let ters had been almost obliterated by the action of the sand, she could still make them out. After some study she decided thht the 'faame of the boat, or of the ship to which it had be longed, had been Nansemond of Nor folk, Virginia. That was the net re sult of the hard labors of along morn ing. It,told her something, but not much. Assuming that the man with her was John Bevell Charnock and as suming that Ee Gad come to the island In the past on that boat it Indicated that, he was at least an American and a Virginian. It identified him, If her suppositions were correct and wheth er there was warrant for them or not, instinctively and naturally she con cluded that she was correct Admitting all this, however, it gave her no clew from whi^h to build a history. The testimony of the boat was interesting, that was all. Her first thought was to leave it where It was, but her second thought was better. With the aid of the stout piece of board which had served her for a shovel, she hammered away at the stern piece until she broke it off. She saw now that the boat must have lain there In the sand for many years, for the wood was brittle and the fasten ings largely destroyed, for the stern piece came easily away. She laid It aside for a moment intending to pre serve It with the Bible. Heaven knows what dream of future useful -aess in the way of evidence establish ing Identity these might be, entered her mind. Then she threw herself down under the trees and rested. She had left her watch, her precious watch, back In the cave with the book. She did not dare to carry It around with her. She had no way of carrying it in the thin, single garment which she wore, but she judged irom the height of the sun that it must be noon time. They made their meal off the fruits of the island, this time with a. rich and juicy cocoanut added, which the man got for her at her suggestion in the sign lan guage at which she was becoming ex pert, by climbing with wonderlul agil ity, ape-Jike agility almost, one of the tall cocoanut palms with which the island abounded. There were fruits of various sorts in great plenty on the island and she was becoming accus tomed to the diet by degrees. She passed the noon hour In trying to add to the menta* equipment of het companion. He could say a number of words now "and had some idea of their meaning, although lie had'not yet attempted to liame sentences nor had she yet tried to teach him so to do. It was pleasant under the shade of the trees. She found herself mar veling at times as to the contentment that possessed her, a product of the age suddenly plunged into the Eden like existence which her forebears might have enjoyed ten thousand years beforn. (TO BE CONTINUED.) "I wrote him that Twas ready to come home." "Was he glad?" "He wrote me that he would have to borrow money to pay my fare." "What did you do?" "J asked him what I should do, and he said he would borrow money enough for me to stay there a while Jonger." .Described. &• METHOD OF INDUCING SLEEP Self-Suggestion- Plays a Great Part Worry Is the Main Thing te Be Avoided. The next point to bear In mind is that self-suggestion plays a mat part in the. production of Bleep, writes Dr. S. McComb in Harper's Bazar. Ordi narily we do not sleep by accident or haphazard. We resolve to sleep. We go through a variety of actions all suggestive of a change from oir nor mal waking condition. We undress, we place ourselves in a comfortable position, we close our eyes. We be lieve and expect that we are going to sleep, and the result Is—sleep. One of the (peat preventatives of sleep Is the fear of not sleeping. Once this fear 1B broken down, we sleep. The Insomniac worries about his insomnia, and this very worry deepens the mis chief. Hence the sufferer should sug gest to himself again and again "If I sleep, well if I don't sleep I will at least gain rest by keeping my mind calm and my body relaxed." In a word, our chances of getting sleep In crease if we assume the external physical attitude which corresponds to sleep, if we relpx every -muscle and let it stay relaxed, if we breathe light ly and regularly,, if .we call up the Imaginations of a sleeping person, apd talk and think sleep to ourselves, re peating Bilently and in a quiet dreamy fashion such a formula as this "There is no reason why should not Bleep. My mind 1b at peace. Sleep is coming. I am getting sleepy. I am about to sleep. I am asleep." THROUGH COMBAT TO VICTORY Strong, Vigorous Chsraetsr Arrives at Fruition by Wrestling With and Overcoming Obstacles. It IB the wreBtllng with obstacles and the overcoming of difficulties that have made man a giant of achieve ment If we could analyze a strong, vigor ous character, we should find it made up largely of the conquering- habit, the habit of overcoming, says Orison Swett Marden in Success. On the other hand. If we should analyze a weak character we should And just the reverse—the habit of fail ure, the habit of letting things slide, of yielding Instead of conquering— the lack of courage, of persistency or grit. There is the same difference be tween a self-made young man', who has fought his way np to Mb own loaf, and the pampered youth who has never been- confronted by great re sponsibilities that would exercise his powers and call out his reserves, that there Is between the stalwart oak which has struggled for its existence with a thousand storms, with all the extremities of the elements, and the hothoase plant which has never been allowed to feel a breath of frost or a rough wind. Every bit of the oak's fiber has reg istered a victory, so that when its timber is called upon to wrestle with Btorms and the fury of the sea, .it says, "I am no stranger to storms I have met them many a time before. I feel within me stamina' and fiber to resist the fury of any sea, because I have fought and overcome its equal a thousand times." The hothouse plant succumbs ..to the first adverse wind.

SUBTERFUGE Nof A SUCCISS Crosby Dossnt Know Whether Wife Detected Trick or Really Was In Unselfish Mood. Crosby had always been inclined to conservatism in household expenses, especially in the matter of his wife's dress bills, relates a writer in the Sunday' Magazine. His wife went so far as to say that he was penurious. She had been in need of anew boa for a long time, and after she hinted that her happiness would never be quite complete till she had one, he at tost consented to make the purchase. He went' into a store and picked out. two, one of which was a cheap imita tion affair, and the other a fine ex pensive one. Taking them to his office before go ing home, he changed the price marks, the expensive tag on the cheap boa and vice versa. His wife examined them for a long, time very seriously indeed, and then said, "Now, dear, the expensive boa Is a beauty, and it Is really very good of you to allow me my choice. Some women would take It without a word but reafly I -don't think we can af ford the more costly one, and be sides, dear, I think the cheap one the more stylish too. Why, .Cros, dear. What's the matter? Are you ill?" But dear old Cros had made his getaway into the night where he could kick himself as' hard as he felt he de served.
