ISLE L L IZIBUTION By £015001 MAWALL ILLUSTR�ATEn By R,W.SATT RrIgso BEGIN HERE TODAY Because he knew his master, Ned ,• Ned Cornet, his fiancee, Lenore, and Bess, a seamstress, are survivors of a shipwreck. They land on an island inhabited only by a man named Doomsdorf and his Indian wife. Doomsdorf shoots to death Captain ,1Cnutzen, another survivor. The master of the island has named the island "Hell," He tells his pris oners that they must work and slave for him as he once had to do in a Rus- 5:an prison. Lenore is too weak to take up her burden immediately so Doomsdorf sends Ned and Bess to chop wood. They are forcer' to work until they both /nil unconscious, then Dooms- dorf carries them to his cabin and throws thegm on the floor. Bess is able to administer to Ned, who seems t're. weaker of the two. nodded in agreement, "Yes, sir," he returned simply, "One thing else. I can't be expected to do real work ir. this kind of clothes. You've laid oat fur's and skins for the girls; I want to get something, too, that will keep me warm 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 might otherwise have concealed it from him, Ned caught every vestige of the man's irony. "Do I get the warns clothes?" he demanded bluntly. "When you earn them," was the NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY answer. "In a few days more you your traps, and ever be running out p , y - i CHAPTER XVIII,—(Oont'd.) thing you catch, at first, you can keep.

CIIAPTER :'CIX. part of an instant. His wet, clinging clothes had been removed, and blank- ets, already warmed, were being wrap- ped about him, He fell into deep, restful sleep. But it ended all too soon. A great lis.nd 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 banging, miraculously dry, back of the stove; and immediately hurried to 1.enore's side. He forgot his own ach- ing muscles in distress for her; and his arms went about her, drawing her face 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 batch 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 pie?" Then his voice changed, surly and r.mbling again. "But enough of that nonsense. You know what would happen to you if yap tried anything;• -I've told you that al- 7eady. 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 yon to do the work I'll lay out. Lenore can learn to do her stint with the others. 'And hereafter, when you address pie, gall me `Sir.' A mere matter of em- ployer's discipline—" aid, trimmed of their limbe, notehed and sawed iinto lengt s for the cabin; They had ouly to be lifted ono upon another, to form the cabin walls, Pens badcollapsed, too, as the twi•• light hour drew on; and Lenore along was able to walk unaided to the shack; Again Ned lay insensible on the gest beside the stove, but tonight, lc ng past the supperhour, he was able to re- move his own wet clothes and to de- vour some of tho unsavory left -overs from the meal, The third day was given to lifting the great logo, ono uponanother, for the walls of the cabin, It was, in real, ity, the hardest work be had yet done, as to shift each log into place took every ounce of lifting powerthe man bad. The girls could help him but little here, for both of then; together did not seem to be ab'e to handle an end of the great logs, He found he had to lift each end in turn, Yet ho was able to drag to t.ie cabin tonight, and torpid with fatigue, take his place at the crude supper table. • He didn't remember getting up. from his chair, stripping off part of his wet clothes and falling among the blankets that 'Doonisdorf had left for his use on the floor, Almost at once it was dawn again. A ' new, more vivid consciousness was upon him when ho 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 to first creative work he had ever clone, and he loolced 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 Doonsclorf's permission, he devoted a full day to procuring fuel for it, Four days more the three of them worked at the task of laying in fuel —Ned doing the lion's share of the work, of course; ;ens toiling to the limit of her fine young strength; Le- nore malting 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 then to bed With indigestion, did not suf- fice for a single meal. Never before had Ned really known the love of food —red meat, the fair, good bread, ilea grains white and fluffed—but it cane upon him quickly enough now. He hadn't forgotten that the first furs taken would be his, and he need- ed thein sorely enough. Isideed, the natter was beginning to be of para- mount importance to his health and life. Besides, the trapper's life offered more of interest than that of 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 Iris exploration. Best of all, the work would largely carry him away from Doonisdorf'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 seine of his smaller traps, "We'll light out tomorrow," he said. "The sooner we get these things set, the better. The water furs seen; to be absolutely prime already—I'm sure the land furs must be, too. I've laid out three lines— sometimes I've trapped one, and some- times another." (To be continued.) The previous day and night had been full of revelation for Ned; 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, Doomsdurf called sardonically from the cabin doorway. "I trust I can't help you in any way?" he asked. Discerning the _premeditr.: l insult in his tone, Ned whirled to fern him.

Then for an instant he stood shiver- ing with wrath. "Yes," he answer.d, alis promise to say "sir" forgotten in his rage. "You can at least treat me with the respect deserved by a good workman." Little, amused lines came about Doomaclorf's fierce eyes. "A good workman, eh?" he echoed. "Yes, you did work fair enough yesterday. Wait just a minute" He turned into his door, in a mo- ment reappearing with a saw and several iron wedges from among his supplies and tools, He put them in Ned's hands and the latter received them with a delight never experienced at any favor of fortune in the past, As he worked the stiffness and pain reckon all mankind as brethren in the yesterday's toil had left in his Christ.

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.

Mrs. Tung .was educated .at Wheaton College and Columbia University, in the Lnited States, and speaks. English excellently. She is a leader among Women in China and is the wife of Professor Hung, dean of Yenching University at Peiping, who is now, in America spending his sabbatical year a$ professor of Clli.rese history at Harvard University, and who also is a member of the Institute of Pacific Relations anci of the Harvard-Yench- ing Institute of Chinese Studies. "In the revolutionary changes that are taking place in China," Mrs, Hung continued, "feminism is a factor, pos- sessing immeasurable potentialities. By reason of tradition and long usage there has been 'a wide difference be- tween the social status of man and Woman' a difference which is due chiefly to the inequality of education; but the national government now ad- vocates equality in education, and the younger generation is taking as a matter of course the new position achieved by worsen, Women may now hold property in their own right and. enter into contracts," "A great many warner cannot read," she stated, "but the progressive wo- men are interested both in social con- ditions and the practical problems of the home, We have in China the Ladies' Magazine, similar to the wo- man's periodicals in Ameri,ia,which is very popular with women readers. It publishes articles about the politi- cal problems# China, and about in- ternational problems, and about wo- men Bolding office, and about those who are otherwise prominent, as well as information and advice dealing with all departments of the hone." In a recent survey made in Peiping,. which is one of the centres of Chinese• culture; to learn which were the 20• most popular books, the Bible was named as ole of those most read and: studied, Mrs. Hung explained. China, too, has great stores of lit erature that have cone down the cen- turies, and which. have shaped the, thought and culture, despite the 'West- ern inflaences, which are seeping into the new China. Number's of Euro- pean classics have been translated into• the Chinese language and are widely read. Shakespeare, for instance, m. quite as familiar to college students - of China as he le to English and "Ger- man speaking students in every land.. The writings of Scott ‘pen to the Chi- nese a fascinating period of courage- ous men and charming women. Dick- ens' odcl characters are vivid even in - the Oriental Republic. Tolstoy's works• and those by other European masters. may be had in translation, beside, many books on scientific and social questions. "Then we have a few contemporary Chinese novels," explained Mrs. Hung "One of these, 'Such a Family,' is. written very much in the style of a. Western novel and is now in its fif- teenth edition. These stories either eriticie the present life of China or challenge the new methods it has- ' adopted. The trend in our modern literature is realistic as opposed to. romanticism, and its pages discuss freely the things formerly wrapped' in niystieism and beautiful allegories.. "Other books deal with the revolt of youth, a subect that is agitating all countries, and there is also intro- duced into the nation's reading a cer- tain amount of matter treating of in- ternationalism, due to the largo quan- tity of translations and the more in- timate contact with the West. In our most thoughtful literature we do not find antagonism to the West. Added to this huge mass of material we have worlcs of the great Chinese geniuses of the past, classical literature in essays, and novels that are perhaps as popu- lar now as at any time. China has. many legends and myths which aro woven into its writings, and much poetry. 'Moonlight' is a poem that is sung and recited and loved by mil- lions of Chinese. It was written in, the year 1086." J. S. J.
