PERIL ISLAND.
By SIDNEY DREW. Copyrlght, 1903, by W. R. Hearst.
CIIAPTMIt **v', ' ..?,,,_
Tho Fortress In the Rock nnd the House
"'.-?? In the Woods.
It wns n wlld and i?rrlblo nwaUenlng,
thougln the mornlng wns ns fn r nnd puro
n ono.ns ovor ihiwned. Tho atartled
men lcapt from thelr Hhimbera and rtiah
cd out of tho Boddnn tont. Tholr shouta
dled on tholr llpa. U wns neccllesa tor
questlon, Tho two venscls floatlng sldo
hy Hlde.ln tbe hny nnd tho Bwormlng
Ilguros on tho yacht'H deck proclalmed
tho hldooua truth. Thoy recognlzod tho
Antlonetto nt a Blnnco. Agaln amoko
aprnng from tho novon-poundor, and the
men flod llko rubblts ns a sholl ahrloked
ovor tho snnd. The nlrvntlon wns too
gront. It pounded In nmonc tho acrub
nnd ilurig moro annd and branobea lnto
tho alr. StUnned nml stnggnred though
ho waa by thla Bhastly turn of fortunon
whoel. lt atruclc Lockburn thnt tho foes
woro wrotched gunnoi'S. And thon, wlth
hla falr halr toaslng ln tl10 or,sI> broo-zo,
ho put hls great hnnds to hla mouth and
ronrod!*
"Oot your rlfles nnd ainmunltlon, lads,
Hoctor, Cllvol'show l'101" thQ wn-y' Selz?
all tho food vou can carry. Come, coniol
Thoy don't know how to shoot, Qulek,
qutok! Thoy havon't got nt tho rlflos yot.
Confound you. bucklo up!" ' ?
Tho men ?'dashed lnto tha tont nnd
selzed all thoy could. Tho noxt momont
they wore flylng Inland ovor tho ridgo.
For the flrst tlmo Lockburn inlased Bur?
nand, Tho storm hnd come on so qulck
ly tho day before thnt ho hnd not notlccd
tho flrst ofllccr'H abHcnco. Ho bad hn
aglnod thnt, nftor sharlng sontry duty
wlth tho men, ho hnd returned wlth
them and elected to sleep in tho blg
tont. There 'was no tlmo now to ques?
tlon or mako inquirios. Thoy fied ovor
tho ridge, and tho seven-potinder rnng
ngain. This tlmo tho nim wns dcndly.
The shell fell lnto tho blg tont, exploded,
nnd tore tbo ennvas to rlbbons.
"Downl" shrlekcd Leckburn. It a
our turn. Sprcnd out, spread out!
Twonty yards npnrt nt leust. To tho
rlght, Cltva; left, Hector. Keop under
covor nnd poppor thom. Do ns I do, lads.
Now, back agaln, nnd don't show a
flnger. Shoot for all you know."
Tralling hla rllle, tho glant began to
worm' up tbo ridge. Heotor and Cllvo
hustled tho mon lnto thelr posltions.
Thoy formed a llno almost a hundrcd
and flfty yards long. Thoy cropt through
tho scrub and ferns untll, acreencd by
tho loaves, they could look down tho
alopo.
Apparently Vnndorlot hnd not auo
cceded ln pichlng tho lock of tho mnga
zlno nndrenohlng tho rlflos nnd nmmu
nltlon. A fow shells hnd beon loft on
tho trall-box of tho sovon-poundor, nnd
ho hnd"found. them. Thero wero twonty
mon at least on tbe yncht's dock. Leck?
burn meaaurcd tho dlstanco wltb hla
tralncd eyo. ?
"Nlne hundred yards," ho sboutod.
Word waa ? passed and tho rifiea were
slghted.
"Flre!" , _
Tho c-rnck, c-rack, c-rack! spluttorod
down tho llno, and " tho falnt amoko
swopt away. . Leckburn yelled with do?
llght. Thoro was n sudden panlc on tho
yacht. Mon tumblod. ovor ench othor to
got out of tho way. A second straggllng
volley.was flrcd, and then tho deck was
deserted...., ,'.,_-;
"Wah!" sald Mumps, whose slght was
almost mlraculoua, "wo klllco one at
loastee. Wlmtpo,. dey done wld Ruby?
Wheroo.;.do dootah? Wah! dls flrstee
chopeo bad." '
''And where.'a Burnand? asked Leck?
burn. "Dldn't bo como back wlth you
yesterdny?"
"Nebber seo^liirri nt alloe.'
"What! Wasn't ho wnltlng for you up
thero?". r . \ :_
Tho Lascnr shook hls head. Leokburn
frowned nnd blt hls llps. Could tho
gold fever havo dragged Burnand back
to tho treasuro chambor? Hnd he sllp
ped from tho ,Iedge? It wns a hideous
thought. Or hnd ho fallen Into the hands
of the Unknown. the mystorlous spcctro
who haunted Pcril Island?
But Leokburn was compellcct to dls
miss Burnand from hls mlnd. Tho crlsls
was too grave, Ho beckoned Cllvo, Heo
tor and Mnrsden.
"Mumps," ho sald, "keep tho boys
awako. Shoot if you see a head,"
"No chopee use," slghed tho Lascnr.
"Dey get out of rangoe."
It wns true, Tho Antionetto was al
rendy out of Shrapnel Bay nnd the
Sllver Star showed hor drlpplng nnd
gleamlng anohor. Moro bullets went
whlstllng after thom ns they slowly rode
towards the open sea.
Mumps cllmbed tho Hoof to watch the
vessels, and tho labor of transportlng
tho goods over tho rldge commcnced.
They hnd littlo tlmo to speculate, or
oven to drnw broath. Lucklly they hnd
plenty of ropes nnd plonty of Iron bars.
Mumps and Mnrsdon went down, and,
di-lvlng ln the bars, formed a rail of ropo
nnd Iron along tho narrow lodgo. Then
the cnses nnd bnles wero lowored nnd
passed from hand to hand to bo bundled
Into the civo. Tho work ? Insted fnr
nearly four hours, and-both vessels wero
out of slght.
"I wondcr what tho old wolf ls up to?
sald Hoctor.
"Ho'll run round tho Island and put
Into tho bay In tlio nlght, I expect." sald
Cllve.
"That's It," sale? Leokburn, We vo
got tho BtulT down, but wo haven't ,nn
iHhed, Wo hnvo to protoot our ronrs.
Wo'll rlg up a rlllo plt or a couplo ori thn
edgo of tho lloof. It's a nosty cllmb for
an nttacklng party, and Vanderlet wlll
nnd that out If ho trles to rush us.
Mumps had hun_ a tough rope laddcr
from tho ledgo to tho Hoof. Tnklng
spados and mattooks thoy mountcd. All
Jolned ln tlio tnsk nnd throw up a strong
tronch eomnuindlng tho eldo ?' lho
Hoof thnt faced Shrnpnel Bny. , fhero
seomed to ho no othor Inndlng plnco, lf
Vanderlet mndo a roar nttaok ho would
