A warm breeze from 'the land filled the air with the odor of ripening fruit and pungent smells, and the silence seemed to envelop them and mark them as the only living creature a- wake in the brilliant tropical night. Hope sank glowly back, and as she did so, her shoulder touched for an instant against Clay's knee; she straightened herself and made a move- ment as though to rise. Her near. ness to him and something in her attitude at phis feat .held Clay in a spell. He bent forward and I•aid his hand fearfully upon Iter shoulder, and the 'touch seemed to stop the blood in his veins and hushed the words upon his lips. Hope raised her head slowly as though with a great effort, and looked into 'his eyes. It seemed to 'him that he had been looking in- to those same eyes for centuries, as though he had always •known them, and the soul that looked out of them into his. 'He bent his head lower, and atretohing out his arms drew her to him, and the eyes did nut waver. He raised her and and held cher close against his breast. Her eyes falter- ed and closed.

They're not firing themselves at the carriage. Clay caught the hood at the back, swung himself up, and scrambled over the cushions and up to the box seat. He dropped down .behind Hope, and reaching his arms around her took the reins in one hand, and with the other forced her down to 'her knees upon the footboard, so that, as she kncit, his arms and body protected her from the bullets sent after them. Langham followed Clay, and tumbled into the carriage over the hood at the back, but MacWilliams endeav- ored to vault in from the step, and missing his footing fell under the hind wheel, so that the weight of the carriage passed over .him, and hie tend was buried for an instant in the sand. But he was on his feet again before they had noticed that he was down, and as he jumped for the hood, Langham caught him by the collar of his coat and dragged him into the seat, panting and gasp- ing, and rubbing the sand from his mouth and nostrils. Clay turned the carriage at right angle through the heavy sand, and still standing with Hope crouched at his knees, he raced back to the woods into the face of the firing, with the boys behind him answering it from each side of . the carriage, so that the horses leaped forward in a frenzy of terror, and dashing through the woods, passed into the first road that opened before them. The road into which they had turn- ed was narrow, but level, and tan through a forest of banana palms that bent and swayed above them. Langham and MacWilliams still knelt in the rear seat of the carriage, watching the road on the chance of possible pursuit. "Give me some cartridges," said Langham. "My belt is empty. What road is this?" "It is a private road, I should say, through somebody's banana planta- tion. But it must cross the main road somewhere. It doesn't matter, we're all right now. I mean to take it easy." MacWilliams turned on his back and stretched out his legs on the seat opposite. "Where do you suppose those men sprang from? Were they following us all .bhe time?" "Perhaps, or else that message got over the wire before we cut it, and they've been lying in wait for tis. They were probably watching King and his sailors for the last hour or so, but they didn't watt him. They wanted her and the money. It was pretty exciting. wasn't it? Flow's your shoulder?" "It's a little stiff, thank you," said Langham. He stood up and by peer- ing over the hood could just see the top of Clay's sombrero rising above it where he sat on the back seat. "You and Hope all right up there, Clay?"'he asked. The top of the sombrero moved slightly, and Langham took it as a sign that .all was well. He dropped back into his seat beside MacWil- liams, and they both breathed a long sigh of relief and content. Langham's wounded • arm was the one nearest MacWilliams; and the latter parted the torn sleeve and examined the furrow across the shoulder with un- concealed envy. "I am afraid it won't leave a scar," he said, sympathetically. "Won't it?" asked Langham, in some concern. The horses diad dropped into a walk and the beauty of the moonlit night put its spell upon the two boys, and the rustling of the great leaves above their :heads stilled and quieted them so ,that they unconsciously spoke in w'hispers.

FLORENCE BELLAIRE, 200 Montague St., Brooklyn, N.Y. His yoice was drowned in the noise' of the oars beating in the rowlocks, and the reports of the riffles. The boat disappeared in a mist of spray and moonlight, and Clay turned and faced about him. Langham and Mac- Williams were crouching 'behind a [rock and firing at the flashes in the woods. • "You can't stay there," Clay cried. "We must get back to Hope." He ran forward dodging from side to side and firing as he ran. He heard shots from the water, and look- ing back saw that the men in the long -boat had ceased rowing, and were returning the fire from the shore. "Come back, Hope is all right," her brother called to him. "I haven't seen a short within a hundred yards of her yet, they're firing from the Custam-'house and below. I think Mac's bit." I'm not," MacWillram's voice an- swered from behind a rock, "but I'd like to see something to shoot at." A hot tremor of nage swept aver Clay at the thought of a 'possibly fa- tal termination to the night's adven- ture. He groaned et the mockery of having found his life only to lose it now, when it was more precious to him than it had ever been, and to lose it in a silly brawl with semi -savages. He cursed 'himself impotently and rebelliously for a senseless foal. "Keep back, can't you?" she heard farngih'am calling to him from the shore. "You're only drawing the fire toward Hope. She's getaway by now. She bad both the horses." Langham and MacWilliams started forward to Clay's side, but the instant they left the shadow of the rock, the bullets threw up the sand at their feet and they stepped irresolutely. The noon showed the three men as clearly as though a searchlight had been turned upon them, even while its shadows sheltered and protected their assailants. At their backs the open sea cut off retreat, and the line of fire in front •tela• them in check. They were 'as 'helpless as chessmen upon a board. I'm not going to stand still to be athot at" cried MacWilliams. "Let's aide or let's run. This isn't doing anybody any good." But ro one moved. They could leer the singing of the bullets as they passed 'them whining in the air like a banjo -string that is being tightened, and they knew they were in equal danger from those who were firing from the boat. "They're shooting better," said Mac- Williams. "They'll reach us in a minute." "T.hey've reached me already, I think," Langham answered, with sup- pressed satisfaction, "in the shoulder. It's: nothing." His unconcern was qui't'e sincere; to a young man who had galloped through two song halves of a football match on a strained tendon, a scratched :boulder was not important, except as an unsought honor. But It was of the most importance to MacWilliams. He raised his voice against the AMER in the woods in im- potent fury. "'Come out, you cow- ards, where we can see you," he cried. "Come out where I can shoot your black heads off." Clay had fired the Test cartridge in his rifle, and throwing it 'away drew bis revolver. "We must either swim or hide," he said. 'Put your heads down and run." But as he spoke, they saw the car- riage plunging out of the shadow of the woods and the horses 'galloping toward them down the beach. Mae - Williams gave a cheer of wolcome. "Hurrah!" ihe shouted, "it's Jose coming for us. He's a good man. Well done, Jose!" he called. "That's not Jose," Lang'h'am cried, THE McKILLOP MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO'Y. HEAD OFFICE—SEAFORTH, ONT. OFFICERS: .1. Connolly, Goderieh - - Presideet Jas. Evans, Beechwood vice-president T. E.

We'll never get home at this rate. Doesn't Hope want to come back here and go to sleep?" The carriage stopped, and the boys tumbled out and walked around in front of it. Hope'sat smiling on the box -seat. She was apparently far from sleepy, and she was quite contented where s'he was, she told him. Do you know we haven't had any- thing to eat since yesterday at break- fast?" asked Langhans. "MacWil- liams and I are fainting. We move that we stop at .the next shack we come to, and waken the people up and make them give us some supper." Hope looked aside at Clay and laughed softly. "Supper?" 'he said. "They want supper!" consciously, and stepped beside her Their suffering did not seem to im and took her hand; MacWilliams press Clay deeply. He sat snapping quickly lowered to the bench the dish his 'whip at the pati trees above him from which he was eating, and stood and smiled happily in an incense- yaant manner at nothing. "See here! Do you know that we are lost?" demanded Langhans, in- dignantly, "and starving? Have you any idea at ell where you are?" I have not," said Clay, cheerfully. "All I know is that a long time ago there was a revolution and a woman with jewels, who escaped in an (pen boat,'and I recollect. playing that I was a target and standing up to be shot at in a bright light. After that I woke up he the really important things of life—among which supper is not one." Langham and MacWilliams looked at eaoh other doubtfully, and Lang - ham shook his head. "Get down off that box," he com- manded. "111 you 'and Hope (think this is merely a pleasant moonlight drive, we don't. You two can sit in the carriage now, d w we'll gutake a aantee turn at driving, and we'll M get you to some place soon." Clay and Hope descended :meekly and seated themselves under the hood where they could look out upon the moonlit road as it unrolled behind them. But they were ne longer to enjoy their former ia'is:urely progress. The new whip lashed his horses in- to a gallop, and Ow trees flew past them on either hand. "Do you remember that chap in the 'Last Ride Tog/eller'?" said Clay. in. Her brother came over to the car- riage and bowed with mock courtewy. "I trust, now that we have done all the work," he said, "that your excellencies will condescend to share our frugal fare, or must we bring it to you here?" The clay oven stood in the middle of a hut of laced twigs, through which the smoke drifted freely. There was a row of •warden benches around it, and Ibhey all seated themselves and ate ravenously of rice and fried plantains, while the woman patted and tossed tortillas between 'her hands eyeing her guests curiously. Her glance fell upon I.:memm's shoulder, and rested there for so long that Hope followed the direction of her eyes. She leaped to her feet with a cry of fear and reproach, and ran to- ward her brother. "Ted!" she cried, "you are hurt! you are wounded, and you never told me! What is it? Is it very bad?" Clay crossed the floor in a stride, his face full of concern. "Leave me alone!" cried the stern brother, barking away and warding them off with the coffee-pot. "It's only scratched. Yeu'Il spill the cof- fee." But at the sight of the .blood Hope 'had turned very white, and throwing her arms around her brother's neck, :hid her eyes on his other shoulder and began to cry. "I am so selfish," she sobbed. "I have been so happy and you were suffering all the time." Her brother stared at the others in dismay. "What nonsense," he said, patting her on the shoulder. "You're a bit tired, and you need rest. That's what you need. The idea of my sis- ter going off in hysterics atter be- having like such a sport—and before these young ladies, too. Aren't you ashamed?" "I should think they'd be ashamed," said MacWilliams, severely, as he continued placidly with his supper. "They haven't got enough clothes on." Langham looked over Hope's shoul- der at Clay .and nodded significantly. "She's been on a good deal of a strain," he explained apologetically, "and .no wonder; it's been rather an unusual night for her." 'Hope raised her head and smiled at him through her tears. Then she turned and moved toward Clay. She brushed her eyes with the back of her hand and laughed. "I•t has been an unusual .night," she said. "Shall I tell hies?" she asked. Clay straightened 'himself un - "I and my mistress, side by side, Shall be together -forever ride, And so one more day am I deified. Who knows --the world may end to- night." Hope laughed Triumphantly, and threw out her arms as though she would embrace the whole- beautiful world that stretched around them. "Oh, no," she laughed. "To -night the world has just begun." The carriage stopped, and there was a confusion of voices on the box seat, and tben a great harking of daga, and they beheld MacWilliams RINETau Cannot Nes?

The people of the house stared at the group in the firelight with puzzled interest, at the beauti- ful young girl, and at the tall, sun- burned young man at her side. Lang - ham looked from his sister to Cigy and back again, and laughed uneas- 1y. "leingdsam, I have been very bold," said Clay. "I have asked your sis- ter to marry me—and she has said that she would." Langham flushed as red as his is - ter. He felt 'himself at a disadvant- age in the presence of a love as great and strong as he knew this must be. It made him seetn strangely young and inadequate. He crossed over to his sister awkwardly and kissed 'her, and then took Clay's hand, and the three stood together and looked at one another, and there was no sign of doubt or question in the face of any one of them. They :stood se for lime little time, smiling and exclaim- ing together, and utterly unconscious of anything but their own delight/sad happinese. MacWilliams watched them, his face 'puckered into odd wrinkles and his eyes 'half-closed. (Continued on page 5) Nothing Else is, Spi Warning!
