oiuno across the tailor monkey, who was
engaged on somo work for ono of his

"How aro you gottlng along'," asked
tho partridge.
"Oh! just so-so, replied the tailor
monkey.
-*""<SSS>*^"
"Sew-so I"
"Sew-so?" Inquired the partridge.
"Yes, bow-so and so-so, too," answered
tho good-natured monkey, as he took
another stitch In the cloth.
"Do you find tho work hard?" Inquired
the partridge.
"Tes. but I have Ilttlo ideas that help
to mako it easy," replied the monkey.
"For Instance, 1 hold tho thread on ray
toe to keep It from gottlng tangled.
"Toto?" iiskod the partridge,
"Yes, toto and toe to, too."
"You havo a noose ln the thread now. '
"No, that Is a knot, not noose.
"Not-not?" ,'?:-.:???'* "?
"Yes, not not and knot not also.
"Did you know I was a punster?
"Did I know?" No.
"No-no?" ?; ,,
"No; no no-no; Know? No.
And then the two started laughing and
thev laughed so heartily over tholr word

PERIL ISLAND
By SIDNEY DREW. Copyright, ?T03, by W. R, Hearst.
CHAPTER x*1?.. . '
Ana wherovor tho flag shall fly,
Glorying between son nnd sky,
Mntcos the mlBht of Britain known,
Britain*", hold your own]
"We'll look up tho sconti half of Black
?Ttinh'e Instructions," snld hi? lordship,
"For the treasure," read Hector Dane,
"anchored In Shrapnel Bay, Beware
shark, hie gate, and the Cauldron. To
the left of tho flngpolc on tho Hoof. Pull
down the stones with enre. The head
points straight at four hundred paces.
Dig hero, and you shall ?nd, unless tho
man-apes havo destroyed, If so, your
labor la vain,"
Clivo lifted a pnlr of binoculars and
took a long look nt thn cliff.
"No flagpole there," ho said.
"But Juan Gaskara may h/.vo meant
tho Hind Hoof," suggested the doctor,
"Then-why nnchor In Shrapnel Bay,
doc?"
"Gently," put in his lordship. "I havo
got tho map In my head protty well. In
tho first place, you cannot expect a flag?
pole to withstand wind, weather and
decay ior eighty yonrs or more. If Gns
lcnra meant thnt cliff wo shall find traces
of tho polo choked away under tho
follago. If ho Intended tho Hind Hoof
tbero can bo no snfe anchorage ln Pearl
Bay."
Leckburn glanced at his watch. Rising
lazily, he struck a match and touched
tho priming of the little brass gun._ Thoro
wns a puff, a flash and a roar, TlTo time
had como for tho men to return to tho
ship.
Six figures came running across tho
sand. As thoy shouldored the boat Into
tho water another man shouted. Thoy
waited for him. and then rested on thalr
onrs, as If reluctnnt to pull to tho ship.
Leckburn whistled sharply through his
fingers to recall them. Tlie oars dipped
into tjie aztiro wnter, and they rowed
alongside.
"Six missing, Hoc," said Cllve hoarse?
ly. '. ;
"They'll stay, then," answered Dane.
"I'm certain Ned will not go back on
his word."
There seemed to be no doubt on that
point. Tho boat was soon swinging from
tho davits, and thn men wero answering
to their names. Johansen, Brown, Hag
get, all able seamen; Dodley, ship's car?
penter; Gondy nnd Burke, stokers, had
not returned, Lockburn's Judgment had
not been at fault; the gold fever had
Indeed got some hold.
Peril Island wns a little world in itself,
lighted by-Its own sun, heated by Its
own natural fires; a kind of exotla hot?
house, filled with luxuriant plants and
flowers; a land where thero was no win?
ter; a fairy lelo set In an azure sea. They
could como to no other conclusion. All
organic life?animals and plants at
least?requires warmth, light and mois?
ture. Peril Island had light, but it was
a light weak in heat. The warmth must
come from subterranean fires. It wns a
volcanic' isle, at the peak fitly named
Brimstone Hill by tho dead buccaneer,
amply proved. And towards evening a
gentle roln began to fall nnd lasted until
the break of dawn.
Thoy rather shied at tholr breakfasts,
except tho Imperturbable Leckburn, who
devoured tho share of three. Flannels
and whlto ducks had talton tho placo of
furs and heavy tweeds. When Leckburn
announced tho fact that he was going
ashore there was delight; when ho an?
nounced that only two could so with
him thero wero groans.
"I mean two of the crew," grinned
Leckburn. "I'll take Mumps ond Hoo
ton. You'll have to stay with Burnand,
doc, nnd go with the next trip."
"Why Mumps and not the doc?" asked
CItve.
"Becauso two officers must always
stay. I want the Lascar with mo, and
I want Marsdon to remain. Tho others
may go on tho same terms as yesterday.
Ruby, Marsdon and the Impossible fat
thing of yours, llec, -will have to wait.
Take your rides, a shot-gun or two, ijnd
let Mumps pack some lunch. I should
ndvlso you to put on thick boots and
loggings. Bring your bathing togs as
well. I'm keen on a swim."
They wero too eager to set foot on tho
enchanted Isle to waste much time. They
chafed at the slowness of Leokbttrn, who
kept them waiting a good hnlf hour.
Leckburn did tiot tell them that ho had
boon clearing tho ammunition cases, and
carefully scaling them up. Ho took
their abuso without a murmur. Ruby,
with an expression of resignation on his
black fnco, gazed longingly at tho boat
ns sho danced away, towing a long spar
behind hor.
Tho Lnscnr blew a kisa that sounded
Ulte tho crnck of a whip. The noso of
tho boat touched tho white sand. Leek-,
burn leaped out, nnd, seizing tho painter,
dragged hor, men and all, waist high.
It wns an effort of strength that did
even (lie giant credit.
"Now, Mumps," he said, "get that spar
out and hitch a couple of pulleys to her.
Hooten dig a bolo to plant her In. Peril
Island may not become a paying colony
for a bit, but we're going to add her to
tho ono and only British Empire."
Tho dripping polo was hauled ashore.
They had noticed that the sea round
Peril Island wns like tho Mediterranean
?practically tldoless. About thirty :artls
from tho edge of tho bay Hooten began
to shovel up ??? sand. A pick .-vas soon
needed, for a foot below tho,surface thoy
enmn to a soupy whlto deposit which de
fled thn spmle. Then thoy steadied tho
polo into position, and Leckburn inaile
fast tlie Union Jnck.
Tho twelve-poundor on the yacht fired
a blank, and with rousing cheers, Porli
iHlnnd wns added to tho long list of
British dominions beyond tno sons, p
was only ? linio speck of earth, useless
probably, nnd shut away from all humnn
Intercourse by vast leagues of sea and
Ice.
"Gentlemen," said his lordship, "you
nro now on Ilrltish sell."
"Sand you mean, old chap." said Cllve.
"I don't think they'll bo .running cheap
trips hero for a lilt."
?Hold on," laughed his lordship, -?

Hector began to laugh. , ,
"I'm hanged If t see why you worried
yourself to write all that stuff, Ned.
"My Hector, 1 havo oven made mm?,.
than an extra copy of It." answerr?l
Leckburn, "It muy be a poor attempt

Voulu he upheld In any Hrltlsn court.
I'M not fond of work, and ? don't work

with them, and thoy will have tho happy
thought of an English prison stnrlng
them In tho fnco. We're all magistrates,
although we aro not In our particular
districts, but wo are on British soil, I'm
certain the law would stick up for us
whatever measures wo took to put down
disobedience or crime."
Ho took oft his cap and saluted tho
flag.
"Which way?" naked Clivo. "Shall
wo climb the Horn?"
A boatload of men were coming nshoro.
"No," said Leckburn, "We'll
straight north."
"North. Ned?"
"North, of course. Wo'ro south of tho
pole, aren't wo? It's a bull, I know, for
ono can't bo south of tho South Polo or
north of the North ditto. Straight
ahead Is, thorcforo, north. Wo'U lot tho
Horn alone for a bit," ho added, "nnd
make for Satan's Hye. Givo ma the
twelve-bore, Cllve.. Wu may get a few
ducks. And, 1 sny, look out for snakes."
They had taken his advice and donned
'stout shooting boots nnd . good pigskin
loggings. They mado a queer contrast,
with ducks, blnzern, nnd Panama straw
hats. After BtruggUng through a belt
of grand ferns nnd prickly brambles,
they emerged upon a slopo of velvety
grass, ns brilliant, clear, nnd soft as tho
lawn of any English garden. A little
further on they camp to tho edge of a
pool where a colony of tho animals were
bobbing and swimming.
"Tho lake," said Hector.
Its blue water twinkled through tho
stems of a clump of giant trees. It -was
fringed with palmo and great reeds. One
or two green islands gemmed Its sur?
face. Never had a pinco been so mis?
called. Satan's Eye was an Insult nnd
a libel, They stood entranced at the
fairy picture.
"Name it, boys." said Leckburn. "It
has got to .bo rechrlstened.".
"Fairy Water," suggested Cllve.
"Too poetical," snld Hector. "Let's
have a dip for a stnrt nnd chisten lt
afterwards. I don't think I ever saw
anything so beautiful,"
It was allvo with fowl, but they wero
shy. Leckburn brought down a couple
of mallards, but he. got no more. They
undressed and dived Into the cool, clear
water. Mumps swam like a fish, and
Leckburn followed him out to tho largest
island. They turned into a little cave,
a fairyland In miniature ln Itself, and
landed.
"Wah!" said' Mumps. "Mo lord?
here!"
Thf\ Lascar's eyes wore wldo with
astonishment ns ho turned his head. Ho
lay flat on his chest, and pointed down
Into a grassy dell. Leckburn tittered
soft whistle. Mumps wns pointing nt
tho grey ashes and charred sticks of a
dead flro.
"ThundoTatlon," gasped Leckburn,
"those fellows must havo beon horo last
night or this morning."
"Wnh! how doy gettee across?"
! "Swam, I expect."
Mumps dropped Into the dell and
peered at the ashes and burnt twigs. He
shook his head violently.
"Dat not?e yesterday, dat not?e to?
day, me lord," ho said, emphatically.
"Dnt flroe good chopeo woek old."
"Whow!" Leckburn whistled again
"I'll look for myself," ho added.
Tho nshes wero beat?n down nnd clog?
ged together. A single night's rain and
a few hours of warmth would not havo
converted them Into a semi-solid mass.
Ho had to faco tho startling truth. Man
is tho only animal who cnn produco a
fire. Here was the evidence of humniv
handiwork. It could not possibly have
been tho work of the deserters.
Peril Island was Inhabited I
Titey made a closer examination of
tho little Island. It was untenantod, nnd
their search was fruitless. Leckburn
swam thoughtfully back to tho shoro.
Mumps remained behind for several
minutes. Leckburn reasoned that by
pomo chance a few savages had reached
the land of treasure slnco Black Juan's
escapo. Tho discovery did not nllnrm
him In the least. A fow savages more
or less mado no difference, It was odd
that they had seen nono of them, for
? hey must havo observed tho yacht enter
Shrapnel Bay,
"Wah! me lord?herol Found this."
"Yes," said Leckburn.
Tho Lascar hold up something?a wax
vestal
"Christopher Columbus!" said Leck?
burn. through his teeth. "You're not
trying a Joke, Mumps?"
"Nobber flndoe him, me lord," nn

Bwered Mumps, solemnly, "Flndeo him
bohlndeo a stotioc. Die noteo fust chopeo
alice rlghtco."
"Mumps," growled Lockburn. "Keep
your mouth shut."
Tho Lascar nodded and churned on
ahead. Lockburn kopt his own counsel.
Thero was a remoto chanco that ono or
moro of tho deserters woro responsible
for what they had scon and dlBcovorcd.
But his lordship wns compelled to dis?
miss the Idea. Tho condition of tho
ashea was too convincing. Besides,
what would havo tempted nny of tho
dosortors to swim tho Inko, and how
would thoy have cnrrled matches ovor?
And would this man?or men?provo
friends or foes? Did thoy know of the
cxlslonco of the Satan's treasure, and,
If so, hnd they already socured It?
Lockburn was moody, though Clivo
and Hector were In high spirits nnd as
merry ns schoolboys, ^Vhllo Mumps col?
lected wood for a flro, his lordship shoul?
dered a rlflQ and tramped away. Ho
peered Into every Ilttlo crook, hoping to
discover a boat or canoe, but failed.
Thon, llko a wlso man, ho decided to
trouble no moro until ho had finished
his lunch.
Hooton shouldered the' gamo ond
Mumps tho lunch basket, Leckburn
took a last and somewhat uneasy glance
round him, -?to wondered whothcr
vessel wns anchored on tho other sido
of the Island. Hnd some whalor, pearler
or sealer been swept south by a suc?
cession pi gales similar to thoso that
bad driven Black Juan and his filibusters
to Peril Islo? He was aware that two
expeditions had sailed for tho Icy South,
an Itallnn nnd a British ono. Could the
man who kindled tho fire bo one of
those explorers? Leckburn felt that ho
could not rost until ho hnd examined nil
the coast. Of course, five duys, or por
haps a week, had passed slnco the fire
had been lighted. Tho vessel might havo
left the lslnnd.
The sea came ln sight, tho Bun shin?
ing brightly on tho yacht,
"??colland!" cried Clivo. "What's hap?
pened to tho Hag?"
It hnd vanished from tho pole.
"Thunder." ronred his lordship, "who's
hnd the Impudence to do thnt? I'll'
thrnsh somo senso Into him when I find
him."
Mo rnn forward nnd "halted In amaze
nnd perplexity. The Union Jnek lay nt
the foot of tho pole, neatly folded nnd
weighted down with a stone. Who had
dared to haul down tho British I'.ng?
Leckburn could not swallow a Jest such
as this. His faco flushed with rago.
"Wall!"
Tho Lascar's guttural monosyllables
had a hundred Inferences nnd a hundred
meanings. This time It denoted utter
astonishment. Tie wns. bending almost
double glaring at tho sand with pro?
truding eyes,
In a moment they were round him,
staggered at what they saw. Even Rob?
inson Crusoe could not havo been more
astonished when ho found tho naked
print of a savage's foot on tho beach of
Juan Fernandez,
This was the print of ? boot, long nnd
slender, nnd clearly defined at tho heel.
Nono of tho sailors woro such boots, nnd
their own clumsy "shooters" could not
havo left nuch an Impression. The prints
led westward and then trended north.
Then they wero lost and lllcglblo on
the hard ground.
"Tho doe. must be nshoro," said Cllve,
bluntly. "I know Burnenti would not
leave the ship."
"Of course," said Lockburn. "Of
course."
Ho whistled for tlio boat, and Ruby
and Olalsher pulled It across. As they
neared tho yacht they saw Ferguson's
Panama. Ho was dozing In a deck chair.
"Who's been ashore. Ruby?" asked
Hector.
"Why yo' fo' shuah, nnd Massa Sah
Clivo, Sah. Den de men, dey go sonn
nfter, but dey nil back."
"But I mean slnco we left from the
yacht?"
"Doro wns ? pigeon," said Ruby. "Ho
sit on dn yard a bit and don go. I flsnln"
nil de time out oli do boat, and If nny
coon go nshonh, 'cept dat pigeon, him
elder swam or ho fly, and dat do solemn
truth."
