It fell outward and disconcerted a section of the musketeers. “Well done!” cried Iris. The sailor, astounded by her tone, gave her a fleeting glance. She was very pale now, but not with fear. Her eyes were slightly contracted, her nos- trils quivering, her lips set tight and her chin dimpled. Resting on one knee, with a revolver in each hand, she seem- ed no puling mate for the gallant man who fought for her. There {ms no time for further speech. Three ladders were reared against the The end 6': a strong, roughly made ladder swung through the smoke and banged against the ledge. Before Jenks could reach it those hoisting it into position hastily retreated. They were standing in front of the cave, and the Mohammedan made play on them with a ride at thirty feet. Now both crowlmr and revolver were needed. rock. They were so poised and held below that Jenks could not force them backward. A fourth appeared, its coarse shafts looming into sight like the horns of some gigantic animal. The four covered practically the whole front of the ledge save where Mir Jan cleared a little space on the level. The sailor was standing now, With '. piers and owners thereof and claim all the crowbar clinched in both hands. property rights vested therein.” The firing in the valley 8130158000 and These formal phrases, coming at such died away. A Dyak face, grinning like a moment, amazed his hearers.

Two oth- ers pitched themselves half on to the ledge. Now both crowbar and revolv- er were needed. Three ladders were thus cumbered somewhat for those he- neath, and Jenks sprang toward the fourth and most distant. Men were crowding it like ants. Close to his feet lay an empty water cask. It was a crude weapon, but effective when well pitched, and the sailor had never made a better shot for a goal in the midst of a hard fought scrimmage than he made with that tub for the head of the uppermost pirate. Another volley came from the sands. A bullet plowed through his hair and sent his sou’wester flying. Again the hesiegers swarmed to the attack. One way or the other they must succeed. A man and a womanâ€"even such a man and such a womanâ€"could not keep at bay an infuriated horde of fifty sav- ages flghting at close quarters and un- der these grievous conditions. Jenks knew what would happen. He would be shot while repelling the seal- ing party. And Iris! Dear heart! She was thinking of him. “Keep back! They can never gain the ledge!" she shrieked. And then. above the din of the file sillade. the yells of the assailants and the bawling of the wounded, there came through the air a screaming, tear- ing. ripping sound which drowned all others. It traveled with incredible speed. and before the sailor could beâ€" lieve his earsâ€" for he well knew what it meantâ€"a shrapnel shell burst in front of the ledge and drenched the vall.-y with flying lead. Jenks was just able to drag Iris flat against the rock ere the time fuse op- erated and the bullets flew. He could form no theory. hazard no conjecture. All Le knew was that a twelve pounder Shell had flown toward them through space. scattering red ruin among the amazed seoundrels beneath. Instantly , he rose again. lest perchance any of the liyaks should have gained a foothold . on the ledge. The ladders were empty. He could Lear a good deal of groaning. the foot. stvps of running men and some dis- tant shouting. "Sahib!” yelled Mir Jan. drawn from his retreat by the commotion without.- ‘ Yes.” shouted Jenks. The native, in a voice cracked with excitement, told him something. The sailor asked a few rapid questions to minim sure that m: Jan was not ! “Then." said Anstruther, “I call upon i you, Lieutenant Playdon. and all others 1 here present to witness that 1, Robert : Anstruther, late of the Indian army, acting on behalf of myself and Miss Iris Deane. declare that we have taken * possession of this island in the name 2 of his Britannic majesty the king of England, that we are the joint occu- L piers and owners thereof and claim all “My darling, we are saved!

So be had abandoned an pretense. He was ready to face the world at her side. She stole a loving glance at him as she cried: “Yes; Captain Anstruther of the In- dian staff corps. If he will not tell you all that he has done. how he has saved my life twenty times. how he has fought single handed against “I would recommend that they drag the green stuff off that fire and stop the smoke.

"How long were you up there?” he asked. “Over thirty hours." “It was a great fight!” “Somewhat worse than it looks." said Anstrutlzer. “This is only the end of it. Altogether we have accounted for eighty men, ask “Captain Anstruther does not appear to have left much for us to do. Miss Deane,” the officer said. “Indeed,” turning to Robert. “is there any way in which my men will be useful?” “Do you know to what nation this island belongs?” ”l‘luydonâ€"-Lieutenant Philip II. I’lnydon." “It is no man’s land, I think. It is marked ‘uninhabitod' on the chart.” “I don’t suppose any one will dispute your title," said the naval officer grave- ly. He unquestionably imagined that suffering and exposure had slightly dis- turbed the other man’s senses. “Thank you,” replied Robert with equal composure, though he felt in- clined to laugh at Playdon's mystiflca- tion. “I only wished to secure a sufli- cient number of witnesses for a verbal declaration. When I have a few min~ utes to spare I will affix a legal notice on the wall in front of our cave.” Playdon bowed silently. There was something in the speaker‘s manner that puzzled him. He detailed a small guard to accompany Robert and Iris, who now walked toward the beach, and asked Mir Jan to pilot him as suggest- ed by Anstruther. The boat was yet many yards from shore when Iris ran forward and stretched out her arms to the man who was staring at her with wistful de- spair. “Father! Father!” she cried. “Don’t you know me?" Sir Arthur Deane was looking at the two strange figures on the sands, and each moment his heart s‘ank lower. This island held his final hope. During many weary weeks. since the day when a kindly admiral placed the cruiser Orient at his disposal, he had scoured the China sea, the coasts of Borneo and Java for some tidings of the ill fated Sirdar. To examine every sand patch and tree covered shoal in the China sea was an impossible task. All the Orient could do was to visit the principal is- lands and institute inquiries among the fishermen and small traders. At last, the previous night, a Malay, tempted by hope of reward, boarded the vessel when lying at anchor off the large is- land away to the south and told the captain a wondrous tale of a devil haunted place inhabited by two white spirits, a male and a female, whither a local pirate named Taung S’Ali had gone by chance with his men and sub feted great loss. But Taung S’Ali was bewitched by the female spirit and had returned there with a great force, swearing to capture her or perish. The spirits, the Malay said, had dwelt upon the island for many years. His father and grandfather knew the place and feared it. Tanng S’Ali would never be I seen again. This queer yarn was the first indica- tion they received of the whereabouts of any persons who might possibly be immeskesl European. thogsh 90$ O” sufi'ivors from thé STrflar. A'nyhow, the tiny dot lay in the vessel’s north- ward track, so a course was set to ar- rive ofl the island soon after dawn. But Sir Arthur Deane, after an ago- nized scrutiny of the weird looking persons escorted by the sailors to the water’s edge, sadly acknowledged that neither of these could be the daughter whom he sought. IIe bowed his head in humble resignation, and he thought he was the victim of a cruel hallucina- tion when Iris’ treumlous accents reached his ears: Events on shore, as seen by the offl- cer on watch, told their own tale. Wherever Dyaks are fighting there is mischief on foot, so the Orient took a hand in the proceedings. “Father, father! Don't you know me?” He stood up, amazed and trembling. “Yes, father, dear. it is 1. your own littlo girl given back to you.” They had some diffic-ulty_tn keap hit! a the boat, and the man pulling stroke [mashed a stout oar with the next Wrench. ‘And so they met at last, and the sail- ors left them alone to crowd round Anstruther and ply him with a hun- fired questions. Although he fell in with their humor and gradually pieced to- gether the stirring story which was lupplemented each instant by the ar- rival of disconsolate Dyaks and the comments of the men who returned from cave and beach, his soul was filled with the sight of Iris and her father Ind the happy, inconsequent demands with which each sought to ascertain and relieve the extent of the other’s anxiety. Then Iris called to him: “Robert, 1 want you.” The use of his Christian name creat- ed something akin to a sensation. Sir Arthur Deane was startled, even in his immeasurable delight at finding his :hild uninjured, the picture of rude health and happiness. Anstruther advanced. “This is my father," she cried, shrill with joy. “And, father darling, this is“! Captain Robert Austrutlwz'. it) alone. under G'ul's will.

Robert and Iris, Without spoken word on the sub- ject, had tacitly agreed to avoid the slightest semblance of subterfuge as unworthy alike of their achievements and their love. “Your suggestion is admirable,” cried Sir Arthur. “The ship‘s stores may provide Iris with some sort of rig-out, and an old friend of hers is on board at this moment, little expecting her pres- ence.

Iris was quite calm. With Robert near, she was courageous. Even the perturbed baronet experienced a new sensation as his troubled glance fell be- fore her searching eyes. His daughter had left him a joyous, needless girl. He found her a woman. strong. self reâ€" liant. purposeful. Yet he kept on. choosing the most straightfm'ward means as the only honorable way of clearing a course so beset with unsus- pected obstacles. “It is only reasonable. lrls. that your affiancetl husband should suffer an ag- ony of apprehension on your account and do all that was possible to effect your rescue.’ “Myâ€"atfianeedâ€"husband?" “Well. my dear girl. perhaps that is hardly the correct phrase from your point of \‘low. Yet yoa cannot fail to remember that Lord \'entnor"-â€" “Father. dear." said Iris solemnly. but in a voice free from all uncertain- ty, “my atllanced husband stands here! “'e plighted our troll: at the very gate of death.

Did you but know the truth concerning him you would not mention his name in the same breath with mine. Would he. Robert?” “Be advised by me, Sir Arthur, and you. too, Iris,” he said. “This is no hour for explanations. Leave me to deal with Lord Ventnor. I am content to trust the ultimate verdict to you, Sir Arthur. You will learn in due course all that has happened. Go on board. Iris. Meet Lord Yentnor as you would meet any other friend. You will not marry him, I know. I can trust you." ”I am very much obliged to you,” murmured the baronet, who, notwith. standing his worry, was far too experi- enced a man of the world not to ac- knowledge the good sense of this ad- vice, no matter how ruflianly might be the guise of the strange person who gave it. Even Sir Arthur Deane was fascinat- ed by the ragged and hairy giant who carried himself so masterfully and helped everybody over the stile at the right moment. He tried to deveIOp the change in the conversation. “That is settled, then,” said Robert. laughing good nz'lturedly, for be well knew what a weird spectacle he must present to the bewildered old gentle- man. “By the way,” he said, “how came you to be on the Sirdar? I have a list of all the passengers and crew, and your name does not appear therein.” “Oh, that is easily accounted for. I shipped as a steward in the name of {obert J enks.” “Robert Jenks! A steward!" “Yes. That forms some part of the promised explanation.” Iris rapidly gathered the drift of her lover’s wishes. “Come, father,” she cried merrily. “I am aching to see what the ship's stores, which you and Robert pin your faith to, can do for me in the shape of garments. I have the utmost belief in the British navy, and even a skeptic should be convinced of its ,infallihility if H. M. S. Orient is able to provide a lady’s outfit.” Sir Arthur Deane gladly availed him- self of the proflered compromise. He assisted Iris into the boat, though that active young person was far better able to support him, and a word to the ofllcer in command sent the gig flying back to the ship. Anstruther during a momentary delay made a small request on his own account. Lieutenant Play- don. nearly as his .a man as Robert: DR. HARTE’S GELERY- ' IRON PILLS.

The man also brought a dressing case, with the result that a dip in the bath and ten minutes in the hands or an ex pert valet made Anstruther a new man. - Acting under his advice, the bodies of the dead were thrown into the la- soon, the wounded were collected in the hut, to be attended to by the ship s surgeon, and the prisoners were parad ed in front of Mir Jan, who identified every man and found by counting heads that none was missing. Robert did not forget to write out a formal notice and fasten it to the rock. This proceeding further mystified the omcers of the Orient. who had gradual- iy formed a connected idea of the great fight made by the shipwrecked pair, though Anstruther squirmed inwardly when he thought of the manner in which Iris would picture the scene. As it was, he had the first innings, and he did not fail to use the opportunity. In the few terse words which the mili- tant Briton best understands be de- scribed the giri’s fortitude, her unfiag ging cheerfulness, her uncompiaining readiness, to do and dare. When he ended, the first lieutenant. who commanded the boats sent in pm" suit of the flying Dyaksâ€"the Orient sank both sampans as soon as they were launchedâ€"~summed up the gener- al verdict: “There is an error about my rank,” he said. “I did once hold a commission in the Indian army, but I was com? martialed and cashiered in Hongkun; six months ago. I was unjustly con victed on a grave charge, and l hop:- some day to clear myself. Meanwhile I am a mere civilian. It was only Miss Deane’s generous sympathy which led her to mention my former rank, Mr. Playdon.” “You do not need our admiration. Captain Anstruther. Each man of us envies you from the bottom of his soul." Had another of the Orient’s twelve pounder shells suddenly burst in the midst of the group of officers it would have created less dismay than this un~ espected nvowal. Court martiuledf Cashiered! None but a service man can grasp the awful significance of those words to the commissioned ranks of the army and navy. Anstruther well knew what he was doing.
