SYNOPSIS,
THE story of Edward Prendick, wrecked out of Calan, !s made publle
after his death by a nephew. His experiences eovered eleven months,
and were so strange that he wus considered mad when he attempted
to tell them. Therefore, he left the written account of his adventures
Prendick, with two others, escaped In the dingey of the wrecked Lady
Vain, after seeing a fourth man miss thelr beoat in jumping and drown.
For eight days the trio drifted in the open boat without food or water,
They drew lots for one to end his life, and Prendick eees his two compan
fons fall overboard and dle in a fight to kill each other.
After sinking into a seml-coma, rescue arrives and the man is taken
aboard a trader, which is carrying a number of wild heasts as cargo, sailed
by Captain Davies. He tells his story to the man who saved his life. This
man, whose name s Montgomery, says he is a scientist and I 8 golng to an
{sland where he lives, He offers no explanation, however, for the presence
of the animals on board, and vouchsafes no Information concerning his
strange attendant
Suddenly we heard a yelp and a
volley of furious blasphemy from the
oompanion hatchway, and the de
formed man with the black face cam:
up hurriedly, He was immedlate.y
followed by a heavy red-halired man
in a white cap. At the sight of

this gave the red-haired man time to

like a felled ox, and rolled in the
dirt among the furiously excited dogs.
It was lucky for him that they were
muzzled. The red-haired man gave
a yawp of exultation, and stood stag

serious danger of either going back

per.red, Montgomery had started for
vard. “Steady on there,”" he cried, In
a tone of remonstrance. A couple of
saflors appeared on the forecastle.
The black-faced man, howling in a
eingular volce, rolled about under the
feet of the dogs. No one attempted
to help him. There was a quick dance
of their lithe, gray-figured bhodles
over the clusmy, prostrate figure.
The eallors forward shouted, as
though It was admirable sport. Mont
gomery gave an angry exclamation,
and went striding down the deck, and
1 followed him. The black-faced man
scrambled up and staggered forward,
¢olng and leaning over the bulwark
by the maln shrouds, where he re
mained, panting and glaring over his
shoulder at the dogs. The red-halred
man laughed a satisfled laugh.
“l.ook here, Captain,' said Mont
gomery, with his lisp a little accen
tuated, gripping the elbows of the
red-haired man, “this won't do!"
1 stood hehind Montgomery. The
captain came half round, and re
garded him with the dull and solemn
eves of a drunken man. “Wha' won't
do?" he sald, and added, after look
ing sleeplly into Montgomery's face
for a minute, “Blasted Sawbones!"
The Quarrel.
V’ith a sudden movement he shook
his arm free, and after two ineffec
tual attempts stuck his freckled fists
into his side pockets,
“That man's a passenger,” eald
Montgomery. “I'd advise you to keep
vour hands off him.”
“@Go to hell!” said the captain, loud
lv. He suddenly turned and stag
gered toward the side. “Do what 1
like on my own ship'" he added.
I think Montgomery might have left
him then, seeing the brute was drunk;
but he only turned a shade paler, and
followed the captain to the bul
warks,
“Look you here Captain,” he sald,
“that man of mine I 8 not to be ill
tronted. He has been hazed ever since
e came ahoard.”
For a minute alecoholle fumes kept
the captain speechiess, “Blasted Saw
hones!” was all he considered neces
sary.
1 could see that Montgomery had
one of those slow, pertinacious tem
pers that will warm day after day
to a white heat, and never again cool
to forgiveness; and I saw, too, that
this quarrel had been some time
growing. “The man’s drunk,” said I,
perhaps officiously; “you'll do no
good.”
Montgomery gave an ugly twist to
his dropping lip. “He's always
Love Makes Time Pass—and Time Makes Love Pass!
drunk. Do you think that excuses his
assaulting his pussengers?"”’
“My ship,” began the captaln, wav
ing his hand unsteadlly toward the
cages, “was a clean ship. Look at it
now!” 1t was certainly anything but
clean. “Crew,” continued the captain,
“clean, respectable crew.”
“You ugreed to take the beasts.”
6¢ WISH I'd never xet eyes on
I vour infernal island. What
devil--want beasts for on an
imland like that? Then, that man of
’\'HH"H‘- understood he was a man.
He's a lunatic; and he hadn't no busi
ness aft. Do you think the whole
damned ship belongs to you?”
“Your sallors began to haze the
poor devil as soon as he came
aboard.”
. “That's just what he {s—he's a
devil! an ugly devil! My men can’t
stand him. I can't stand him. None
of us can't stand him. Nor you
either!"
Montgomery turned away. “You
leave that man alone, anyhow,” he
said, nodding his head as he spoke.
But the captain meant to quarrel
vow. He raised his volce. “If he
comes this end of the ship again I'll
cut his ineides out, I tell you. Cut
out hic blasted insldes! Wheo are you,
to tell me what I'm to do? 1 tell
ou I'm captain of this ship—captain
and owner. I'm the law here [ tell
you--the law and the prophets. 1
bargained to take a man and his at
tendant to and from Africa, and bring
bhick some animals. I never bargained
ty carry a mad devil and a #illy Saw
bhones, a——"
Well, never mind what he called
Montgomeary. I saw the latter take a
step forward, and ilnterposed. ‘“He's
drunk,” said I. The captain began
anme abuse even fouler than the last.
“Shut up!” I sald, turning on him
sharply, for I had seen danger in
Maontgomery's white face. With that
I brought the downpour on myself.
However, I was glad to avert what
was uncommonly near a scuffie, even
at the price of the captain's drunken
{ll will. I do not think I have ever
heard quite so much vile language
come in a continuous stream from
any man's lips before, though I have
frequentei eccentric company enough.
I found some of it nard to endure,
though 1 am a mild-tempered man;
but, certainly, when I told the cap
tain to “shut up” I had forgotten that
I was merely a bit of human flotsam,
cut off from my resources and with
my fara unpaid; a mere casual de
pendent on the bounty, or speculative
enterprise, of the ship, He reminded
me of it with considerable vigor; but
at any rate I prevented a fight.
At the Schooner’s Rail.
HAT night land was sighted aft-
I er sundown, and the schooner
hove to. Montgomery inti
mated that was his destination. It
was too far to see any details; it
seemed to me then simply a low-lying
patch of dim blue in the uncertain
blue-gray sea. An almost vertical
streak of smoke went up from it into
the sky. The captain was not on
deck when it was sighted. After he
had vented his wrath on me, he hai
staggered below, and 1 understand he
went to sleep on the floor of his own
cabin. The mate practically assumed
the command. He was the gaunt,
taciturn individual we had seen at the
wheel. Apparently he was In an evil
temper with Montgomery. He took
not the slightest notice of either of
us. We dined with him in a sulky
silence, after a few ineffectual efforts
on my part to talk It struck me,
too, that the men regarded my com
panion and his animals in a singu
larly unfriendly manner. 1 found
Montgomery very reticent about his
purpose with these creatures, and
about his destination; and, though I
was sensible of a growing curioslty
as to both, 1 did not press him.
We remained talking on the quar
ter deck until the sky was thick with
stars, lixcept for an occasional
¢ound in the yellow-lit forecastle and
4 movement of the animals now and
then, the night was very still. The
puma lay crouched together, watch
{ng us with shining eyes, a black heap
in the corner of its cage. Montgom
ery produced some cigars. He talked
to me of London in a tone of half
painful reminiscence. asking all kinds
of guestions about changes that had
taken place. He spoke llke a man
who had loved his life there, and
had been suddenly and irrevocably
cut off from it. I gossiped as well as
I could of this and that. All the time
the strangeness of him was shaping
itself in mv mind; and as I talked I
peered at his odd, pallid face in the
dim light of the binnacle lantern be
hind me Then 1 looked out at the
darkling sea, where in the dimness
his little island was hidden.
This man. it seemed to me, had
come out of Immensity merely to
save mv life. To-morrow he would
drop over the side. and vanish agaln
out of my existence, Even had it
been under commonplace circum
stances, it would have made me a
trifie thoughtful: dbut in the first
place was the singularity of an edu.
cated man living on this unknown lit
tle island, and coupled with that the
extraordinary nature of his luggage.
1 found myvself repeating the cap
tain’s question: “What did he want
with the beasts?' Why, too, had he
pretended they were not his when I
had remarked about them at first?
Then, again, in his personal attend
ant there was a bizarre quality which
had impressed me profoundly. These
circumstances threw a haze of mys
tery round the man. They laid hold
of my imagination, and hampered my
tongue.
oward midnight our talk of Lon-.
don died awa)y. and we stood side by
¢ide leaning over the bulwarks and
staring dream!ly over the silent, star.

thoughts. It was the atmosphere for
sentiment, and I began upon my grat
itude.

time, “you have saved my life.”

chance.”

useful and becoming, and yet for years it has been

i Failure and Its Results, |
UT Atwood's suit with Mildrel
B was not progressing at all. He
followed her out into an ante
room after Miss Destinn's spectacular
performanca in the llons’ den, and in
tent on wiking this girl to something
else besides the childish stde of life,
he did the wrong thing and fright
ened her. |
Mildred ceased laughing and turned
to look at her suitor, who stood be-f
fore her, his eyes moody, his face
stern. |
“Marry vou?"' she said. “Why, you
are as old as father. Besides, I don't
want to marry anyone. I don't like
men when they're serious.” And >h?l‘
shivered slightly and then turned and
fled, leaving the man furious at being
balked just when his most cherished
possession seemed almost within
sight. 1‘
The next day he sent a short note
to Mr, Dennison, which ran thus: ‘
t “In view of the fact that vyour|
fr‘.m:gh(er Mildred prefers not to mar
{ rv me, the proposition of financial as
’Sis!.\n«‘t\ is not further considered.”
Mr. Dennison dropped his face in
his hands. Who was going to provide
for his daughters, and what wouid
lthey do without someone to look out
for them? Try as he had, his life
had been a failure. The next day,
The Fascinating Cape
DESCRIBED BY OLIVETTE
when the directors were to hold thelr
meeting, he would have to confess
that he was unable to meet his obll
gations. There was nothing to do but
admit failure and step out. Of course,
it was the weak way of ending
things, but men in their last ex
tremity always choose the weakar
way.
The Tragedy.
Two days later Mr. Dennison was
found lying back in a chair in ths2
library, a revolver hole through his
temple. Helen and Mildred were
alone in the world, two helpless girls,
utterly incapable of the task that lay
before them.
But Helen Dennison was better
equipped than the world gave her
credit for being; she still had her
llons. At first the girls had thougnt
of selling them to a menagerie or a
circus, but then a better idea struck
Helen one day when she was puzzling
over money affairs, and, after confid
ing it to Mildred, the two girls de
cided to put their scheme in opera
tion. What they needed was a man
to help them out, and they decided
that an advertisement in the paper
would solve that part of the problem
in short order.
Elliott Gerry was much surprisad
one morning to pick up the paper and
find the following announcement:
“Wanted—Young man to assist
two artists in performance with
trained lions.”
“It must be the girls,” he muttered
to himself; “their father's business
reverses and sulcide; and now Helen
is going to use her lions to bring &
possible livellthood.”
But Mildred and Helen Dennison
‘were dumfounded the next morning,
velvet which is to return to favor by August, according
to the prediction of one of the smartest of the French
houses. The cape is cut three-quarter length and
shaped and topped by a square turn-over collar that
slopes into small revers at the front. Below this at the
back there is a pare! that falls in the effect of a hood.
A bias fold of black velvet pipes this and above the fold
is a band of stitchings. The cape falls in full circular
at the back, and there are darts rising from the
front of the shoulders and crossing the bust to form an
effect of V just under the revers. Three large black
velvet buttons are used as fastenings.—OLlVETTE.
‘when young Gerry called {n answer
to the advertisement.
~ “Why, Elliott, what brings you
here?” gasped Mildred, positively ra
diating her joy on having seen him.
| The Plans.
‘ “Who else has a better right?” he
answered, boyishly, holding up the
‘newspaper. *“Do you think I'm going
to let anyone get ahead of me on a
deal like this?” Helen came in at that
moment, and in a few minutes the
three were planning the sketch that
Helen felt sure would capture the
fiickle public. Its very daring was
strongly in its favor, and as the girls
had already made arrangements with
the manager, who was highly pre
possessed with the idea, a rehearsal
was decided on immediately.
The idea was a sketch requiring
three characters. Mildred was cast
as a young native girl and Gerry was
to be her lover. Helen was a lion
tamer, and there was to be a famous
dance of death in the lions’ den. The
first rehearsal went beautifully, with
out a hitch, so-far as outward ap
pearances went, But already discord
was being sown between the trio.
Helen knew that Gerry was madly in
love with Mildred and that she recip.
rocated it. She also knew that she
herself would have relinquished ev
erything for the love of this one man.
'With a situation such as this under
neath the surface, it can well be im
agined tbat frictlon of some kind
was soon to result., But no one at
this stage of the drama had any idea
of the vast proportions the green
‘eved monster had assumed, nor of the
horrible ending in store for one of
‘the characters in the eternal trian- |

l PERSUADING EVADNE }
HE young person with the ex-
I tremely long eyelashes sighed
with daintiness and shook her
head mournfully. With it all she
bestwoed upon the young man a
smile of exceeding sweetness, one
calculated to make him realize all
that he was losing.
“No, Alexander,” she said, gently,
“it Is no use. I don’t care enough
for you to marry you! I've told you
so several times before!"
Then she settled herself comfort
ably to hear him plead.
There seemed to be a hitch, for
he said nothing. Observing him in
some surprise, she saw that he was
regarding his clasped hands gloomily.
“I suppose you can't, Evadne!" he
remarked with sad resignation. “It
has been foolish of me ever to think
you could! lam not the kind of man
you ever could love!”
“Wh-why not?” demanded the
young woman with the long eyelashes,
in undeniable astonishment.
The voung man threw out his hands
expressively. “Oh, I am serious and
stupid,” he explained. ‘“And you like
gayety and fun! I——"
“Well,” said the young woman, “I
guess I am not so frivolous that I
can't appreciate serious things! You
needn’'t talk as if I hadn't any
brains!"
Far Apart.
“Far from i{t,” said the young man.
“l 1 was merely pointing out how far
apart we are in our ldeas and aims.
I don't blame you a bit, Evadne. It
probably is just as well that you
have decided that our marriage would
be a mistake. A woman's intuition I 8
a wonderful thing—you seemed to
sense the difficulties in the way at
once, didn’'t you? I have been hard
to convince, but now——"
“Really, Alexander,” the young per
son with the long eyelashes inter
rupted, a trifle petulantly, “I do hate
to see a person jump to conclusfons
the way you do! I don't see—"
“]I expect,” proceeded the young
man, musingly, “that in time I shall
grow to look upon this sxperience as
a beautiful dream, though a sad one—
one that will cotor my whole life. I
don’t say that I shan’t outgrow it, be
cause time is inexorable, but I shall
never quite forget it, Evadne! You
always will be to me——"
“I am sure I don't understand you!”
cried the young woman. “You act as

A took me fishing trout yester-
P day. He sed wen we started
out that it was Jjest the rite
kind of a day for trout. No other
fish will bite this kind of a day,
Bobble, sed Pa, so if you get a blte
you will know at onst that it is a
trout.
1 asked Pa how he knew no other
fish wud bite that day & he sed: My
deer son, I lerned that the only reel
way to lern anything in this wurld—
by expeerence. Expeerence is a dear
teacher, but all of us have to pay her
sooner or later. That is how I know
this {s a trout day.
Wen we got to the river I fixed my
rod & line beefoar Pa got his reddy,
& the first thing I threw in I caught
a little chub.
1 guess this must be a chub day
insted of a trout day, I toald Pa.
That was a mere accident, sed Pa,
& then he threw in & got a blite.
Now, watch me land a nice trout for
you, Bobble, he sed. He gaiv a quick
pull & out caim another littel chub.
That is singular, sed Pa; I nevver
knew a chub to bite on a trout day.
It is most singu-lar. Then I caught
a chub, too, only it was a littel big
ger. Then Pa caught another,
I think we must have run onto a
skool of chubs by accident, sed Pa.
Let us move down the river a bit.

& kep only the trout, After I had

trout, & Pa looked vary cheep, but he
dident say anything. He looked cheep

wen we got neer hoam & looked in
his basket. Aha, a bass! sed the man,
That will cost you $25 in court, or yoa
can slip me fifteen now & I will settel
{t for you. I am a gaim warden.
Poor Pa, 1 guess then he thought
the wind was from the north.
