BEGIN HERE TODAY Ned Cornet, his fiancee, Lenore, at.d Less, a seamstress, are survivors of a shipwreck; They ;and on an island inhabited only by a man named Doomsdorf and his Indian wife. i'aomcciorf - shoots to death Captain ICnutzen, another survivor. The master of the island has named the island "Hell." He tells his pris- oners that they must work and slave Ica- him as he once had to do in a Rus- s:an prison. Lenore is too weak to take up her burden immediately so Doomsdorf rands Ned and Bess to chop wood. They are force,' to work until they both fall unconscious, then Dooms- dorf carries them to his cabin and -throw's thein on the floor.

But it ended all too soon. A great hand shook him, snatching him into • a sitting position, and a great, beard- ed face, unspeakably terrible in the weird, yEllow light of the lantern, Showed close to his own. ."Up and out," he was shouting. "It'll be light enough to work by the time you have breakfast. Out before I boot you out." Ned pulled on his clothes, scarcely wondering at the fact that they were hanging, miraculously dry, back of the stove; and immediately hurried to Lenore':' side. 1' -Ie forgot his own ach- ing muscles in distress for her; and his aams went about her, drawing her fare to his own. • Doomsdorf re-entered the room then, gazing at them in amused contempt, and. Ned instinctively straightened. "I trust you're not hatching mu- tiny?" the sardonic voice came out. "Not just now," Ned answered with some spirit. "There's not much use to hatch mutiny, things being as they are." "You don't say! There's a rifle on the wall—" "Always empty—" "But the pistol I carry is .always loaded. Why don't you try to, take it away from me?" Then his voice changed, surly and r..mbling again. "But enough of that nonsense. You know what would happen to you if you tried anything—I've told you that al- ready. There's work to do today. There's got to be another cabin—logs cut, built up, roof put on—a place for the three of you to bunk. That's the work today. The three of you ought to get a big piece of it done today." "Miss Hardenworth? Is she well. enough? Couldn't she help your wife with the housework today?" "It will take all -three of you to do the work I'll lay out. Lenore can learn to do her stint with the others. And hereafter, when you address pie, call me 'Sir.' A mere natter of em- ployer's discipline—" By E.Disc►M MAi sjiAL1. Because he knew his master, Ned nodded in agreenient. "Yes, sir," he returned simply. "One thing else. I can't be expected to do real work in this kind t.f clothes. You've laid oat furs and skins for the girls;. I want to get something, too; that will keen. me warn and dry.''• "I'in not responsible for the clothes you brought with you. You should have had greater respect for the North, Besides, it gives me pleasure, I assure you, to see you 'dressed as you are. It tones up the whole party." Stripped of his late conceit that 'migh't otherwise have concealed it from him, Ned caught every vestige of the man's irony. "Do I get the warm clothes?" he demanded bluntly. "When you earn thein," was the aid, trimmed of their limbs, notehed and sawed into lengt a for the cabin. They had only to be iifted one upon another, to form the cabin walls. Bess had .collapsed, too, as the twi- light hour drew on; and Lenore alone was able to walk unaided to.the shark, Again •Ned lay insensible on the floor beside the stove, but tonight, keg past the supper ,hour, he was able to re- move his own wet clothes and to de- vour some of the unsavory left -overs' front the, meal, ` The third day was given to li£tiLig the great logs, on.etupon 'another, for the walls of the cabin.

Yet ho was able to drag to tae cabin tonight, and torpid with fatigue, take his place at the crude -supper table. He didn't remember getting up from his chair, strapping off part of his wet clothes and falling among. the blankets that Doomsdorf had left for his use on the floor. Almost at once it was dawn again. A new, more vivid consciousness was upon him when he wakened. The stabbing ache in his legs And arms was mostly worn off now; but there was a sharp pain in the small of his back that at first seemed absolutely unendurable. But it .waned, too, as he went to the work of finishing the cabin, laying the roof and hanging. the crude door. It was with a certain vague quality of pleasure that he regarded this cabin he had built with his own .hands, finished now, except for the chinking of the logs. It was the first creative work he had ever done, and he looked at it and saw that it was good. The cabin itself was roomy and snug; here he could find seclusion from Doomsdorf and his imperturb- able squaw. ~. Doomsdorf gave him a rusted, dis- carded stove; and it was almost joy to see it standing in its place! With Doomsdorf's permission, he devoted a full day to procuring, fuelfor it. Four days more the three of them worked at the task of laying in fuel —Ned doing the ;ion's share of the work, of course; mess toiling to the limit of her fine young strength; Le- nore making the merest pretense. The result of the latter's idleness was, of course, that her two companions had to divide her share of work between them. Every day Doomsdorf alotted them certain duties—so many trees to cut up into stove wood, or some other, no less arduous duty; and he seemed to have an uncanny ability to drive them just short of actual, complete exhaustion. They consumed great quantities of food :'particularly Bess and Ned. What would have been a full 'day's rations- in their own home, enough concentrated nutriment to put them to becl with indigestion, did not suf- fice for a single nieal. Never before had Ned really known the love of food —red meat, the fair, good bread, rice grains white and fluffed—but it came upon him quickly enough now. He hadn't forgotten that the first furs taken would be his, and he need- ed them sorely enough. Indeed, the matter was beginning to be of para- mount importance to his health and life. Besides, the trapper's life offered more of interest than thatof the woodchopper. It would carry him through those gray valley and over rugged hills that now, when he had time to look about him, seemed to in- vite his exploration. Best of all, the work would largely carry him away from Doomsdorf's presence. If only he could spare Lenore, not only by permission of Doomsdorf, but by Con- sent of the girl herself. The matter came up that night while Doomsdorf was sorting out some of his smaller traps. "We'll light out tomorrow," he said. "The sooner we get these things set, the better. The water furs seem to be absolutely prime alreauy—Pm sure the Iand furs must be, too. I've laid out three Tines— sometimes I've trapped one, and some- times another." (To be continued.) CHAPTER XIX. The previous day and night had been full of revelation for Necl; and as he started forth from the cabin with his axe, there occurred a little scene that tended even further to illus- trate his changing viewpoint. Gloat- ing with triumph at the younger man's subjection, Doomsdorf called sardonically from the cabin doorway. "I trust I can't help you in any way?" he asked. Discerning the premeditated insult in his tone, Ned whirled to face him. No jumpy feeling NOW when 1 drive through traffic Nothing relieves tension so effectively as Wrigley's.

"Yes," he answer„d. His promise to say "sir" forgotten in his rage. "You can at least treat pie with the respect' deserved by a good workman." Little, amused lines came: about Doomsdorf's fierce eyes. "A good workman, eh?" he echoed. "Yes, you did work fair enough yesterday. Wait just a minute." He tarried into his door, in a mo- ment reappearing- with a saw and several iron wedges from among his supplies and tools. He put theta in Ned's hands and the latter received ti Em with a delight never experienced at any favor of fortune in the past. As he worked the stiffness and pain the yesterday's toil had left in his muscles seemed to pass away. The axe swung easily in his arms. When the first tree -was chopped down, he set Lenore and Bess at trimming off the branches and sawing twelve -foot logs for the hut. It came about that he chopped down several trees before the two girls had finished cutting and trimming the first. Seemingly Lenore bad notyet recovered from the trying experience of two nights before, for she wholly failed to do any part of the work. What was done at this end of the labor Bess did alone, The unmistakable in- ferenee was that Ned would have to double his own speed in order to avoid the lash at night, The day tuned out to be not great- en t"from the one receding, ly differ p Again Ned worked to absolute eat- haustion: the only apparent changeph;ie'pleBordinc,,LI.,:D . seemed to be that be accomplished a F F+EB,4S,MonleatforDnbT800 s, greater amount of work before he IA(JL1� - finally fell insensible in the snow.
