Her heart sank as she saw the crea- ture had no more missiles. She caught a flash of hairy arms and body as he leaped toward her. his huge, round arms flailing about him. dropping the subterranean inhabitants at every swing. Lucille, guided by some im- pulse. stooped and picked up the blaz« . ing necklace, extending it to the orang. ‘He seemed not to notice.

Slowly, very slowly, the fresh air of the jungle met her quivering nostrils. And even as she opened her mouth, laving her throat with the in- toxicating odor that had been so re- pulsive to her before. the canoe was lifted up. snatched up and whirled about in a gigantic swishing circle. Lucille instinctively thrust the bro- Ken shaft of paddle into the water. finding it useless She crouched low. Round and round in ever narrowing circles she was whirled. the black wa- ter white now as it lashed itself into raging circles from the exact center of which rose a jagged toothed rockâ€"a rock that imperturbably, cruelly waited this dainty morsel being brought him. .J~ The sight inspired her with fresh en- ergy. She drew herself up, carefully balanced the canoe against her weight, then slipped into the bottom and lay there exhausted. She groped about as the sides of the subterranean cavern expanded The light grew broader. A paddle encountered her fingers, and she thrust it out into the water. Came a crunching of wood as it ripped against the rocky sidehf the shallow ravine, and she stared ln dismay at the use- less handle that alone remained to her. As though their fear had subsided the underground creatures once more closed in upon Lucille. Some impulse made her dart toward the orang as though for protection. The foul crea- tures were about her. clawing at her with their horrible. uncertain paws, like giant bats. The monkey seemed suddenly to waken to the situation. With a shrill note of rage he leaped from his squatting posture and snatch- ed the necklace of rubies from about the idol's neck, flinging it squarely into the center of the mob. it had the efl‘ect of drawing them back for a mo ment. With shrill squeaks the orang’s hairy paw plucked jewel after jewel from the idol. hurling them at the crea- tures with the speed of bullets. Again and again he drove them back from her and Lucille constantly fought her way closer to this strange protector. § LUCILLE LOVE a malignant faced manâ€"a man with' mighty torso and gigantic arms. a man whose head towered far above her and whose forehead and neck and arms were loaded with blazing rubies.

CHRONN under Lucille was standing beside the old boatswain. questioning him and whil- ing away the long sultry day by listen- ing to the stories he loved to tell her. She started toward her cabin. She heard a swift step across the deck and hurried the faster. only pausing to look back when she reached her door. A little cry of pity and rage came from her lips when. with an ugly oath. Wetherell lifted his great fist and floor ed the old seamaa. Every womanly Mutiny! T was the sixth day out that for the first time she saw the man upon the deck in daytime. Captain Wetherell. was scanning the sky, his brow clouded and his heavy jaw thrust forward film an angry bulldog’a There was something uncanny. mys terlous. about the yacht. especially about one stateroom which was always lockedâ€"save once. when Lucille caught through the partly opened door a glimpse of a man who looked llke a Chlnaman. But she could not beam The door was closed quickly. Suddenly he turned to his men, roughly ordering them to prepare for the row out. then assisted Lucille to a seat alongside himself. Try though she would she could not feel the joy that seemed natural as the boat slip- ped through the water propelled by the sturdy oarsmen. She studied them keenly. Rough. powerful men they were. but she was woman enough to know them to be the sort easily han- dled by a beautiful womanâ€"the weak- er the easier. And she saw that the captain was heartily disliked. She no- ticed also that two of the oarsmen had faces that showed signs of recent bat- tering. The intuition that had served her so well before told her Captain Wetherell, for such was the name he used in introducing himself. had been a party to this. There was something sinister about the man whose eyes were fastened upon her face in such bold admiration that she instinctively drew away. Over and over again she repeated it. She had been seen at the last mo- ment and was going to be taken away. And the prayer was not even finished before the boat grounded lightly at her feet and she found herself speaking to a heavy featured, youngish man who was evidently in command or the yacht. Suddenly she stopped dead In her tracks. her fists tightly clinched as she pressed them against ner breast "It is coming back!" she gasped, for she made out that the boat had stopped; that it was being turned. her way from the sound, crying aloud at the top of her voice for assistance even though she knew no sound could carry to the men. She found herself standing upon a pebbly little beach that snatched a serene crescent or wa- ter from the ocean. Stralning her eyes. she could dimly see a large row- huut at the tip of the crescent.

You need have no further fear or him. my dear.” ' Fear! Lucille felt a great yearning for the spy. a need of his protection even as a moment before she had thought it impossible to be in such mortal terror of any one as she had been of Hugo Loubeque and his crafty fiâ€"n‘Aâ€" Whispers of the men growing louder came to her until she could distinguish the angry voice of Wetherell. lifted now in surly rebeilion. Lucille shrank back against the Wall visualizing from the man’s tones and the expression on his face. A greater horror than the waves came leaping to her mind. Huge Loubeque was her protection from The While his tones grew lower. they carried a vibrant thrill that struck at her very heart. His face was flinty as. with passionate pleading, she lifted her eyes to his. lnstinctively she recoiled as a shadow fell between them. Lou- beque frowned as Captain Wetherell joined them, his eyes flashing a ques- tioning glance at the pallid face of the girl. Then the spy bowed gravely and stepped on the deck. followed closely by the captain of the yacht. l Her eyes held to his with an effect of frightened fascination. It was the j change in his tone. the difference in his { wording of the demand that told Hugo past did she not relinquish the papers to him now.
