Wisdom of Middle Age
"Middle age brings with it a certain
belated kind of wisdom, for which it
can claim no kind of credit. It is •a
wisdom, such as it is, which comes by
the wimple passage of years, For it
is then that, in most cases, a man
ceases to look exclusively forward,
and begins to look backward as well,
And looking hack, he can see (not in-
frequently, with bitter regret) what

"He can see in what directions he
might have employed his time and his
energies better. And he can see

born of vanity) what he would do now

jacket, showing him what seemed to
be a shall,. square box of tin. But the
light was too dim for him to make
out the words on the paper label, "I
got this from the shelf—just as we
left the'cabin."
The hopeful tones in her voice was
the happiest sound Ned had heard
since he had come to the island.
"Wait is it?" he whispered.

CHAPTER XXVIII,
Talking in an undertone, not to be

Ned made their hasty plans for de-
liverance.
Here, in • the .cabin they occupied,'

But Ned still faced him when he
paused, eyes steadfast, his face an
iron. grey in the wan light, His train
ing had been hard and true, and. he
still found strength to stand. erect.
"I want to tell yOu this—in reply,

of one who has mastered fear. "We
know well enough what yuu . can do

Doomsdorf eyed hi'nea•lnrly, but the
smile of contempt was wholly gone.

he asked.
"With every ounce I've got! You

He eyed them a moment, coolly and
casually. "When I want anything,
Ned, I want it wad enough to pay all
I've got for it," he laid in a remark-
ably even tone. "Don't presume that
I value your lives so much that .I'll
turn one step from my course. Be

Ned.'' eyes widened, as he tried to
'cad his meaning. Doomsdorf laugh
ed softly in the silence. "You won'
be here!" he repeated. "You fool—

way? It will rest as it is tonight

Ned felt his "viseles hardening to

"You won't? Don't matte . ny mis-
take on that point. If you are not
on your way by sun -up, you get a
hundred --from the knout. You won't
be able to leave for some time after
that—but neither will you be able to
interfere with what doesn't concern
you. I'll give you a few in the dawn --
just as a sample to show what they're
like. Nor am I afraid of Bess killing
herself. It's cold and dark here, but
it's colder and darker—there. She'll
stand a lot before she'll do that"
"That's definite?" Ned asked;
"The truest words I ever spoke. I've
never gone back on a promise yet."
"And believe .rile, I won't go brick
on 1011.0. If that's all you have to
say—"
"That's quite all. Think it over—
you'll find it isn't so bad. And now ---

He bowed to them in mock .polite-
ness. Then he turned back into his
cabin.
For a moment his two, prisoners
stood inert, 'utterly motionlaIs in the

her, still held by his own dark
thoughts, but at the first glance of
her white, set face, he whirled in the
most breathless amazement. It was

tenance that he had seen r few mo-

The plan, on perfection, was really
very simple. As soon as Lenore cane,
she would be sent back to the cabin to
bring Doomsdorf. She would need no
further excuse than that Bess had
asked to see him; Ned's knowledge of
the brute's psychology told him that.
Ned would be waiting in the newer
cabin when Lenore and Doomsdorf re-
turned. He would immediately excuse
himself and pass out the door, at the

dash a handful of the blinding snuff

Ned's ase leaned just without the

y it as he went in; otherwise his sus-

first instant of agony and blindness,
Ned would seize the weapon, dash
e back through the door, and make the
assault.
They had sca.cely perfected the
plan before Lenore appeared, on the
way to her cot. Just an instant she
halted, her face and golden head a
glory in the soft light, as she regard-
ed their glittering eyes.
Ned moved toward her, reaching for
her hands. For a breath Ile gazed into
her lovely face. "Bess wants you to
go—and tell Dooms,lorf-to come
here,” he told her. His voice was
wholly steady, every word clearly
enunciated; if anything, he spoke
somewhat more softly and evenly than
usual. "Just tell him that she wants
to see him."
She took her eyes from his, glanc-
ing about with uninistakal'le appre-
hension.

Sydney, N.S.W.-The final report

The total is more than is required
