EISLE OF RETRIBUTION XDISOM MARSHALL wJ ®"" rTERTIELD ©UTTLf.bROWN 8 COMPANy, ISX3

. BEGIN HERE TODAY ’ Ned Comet his fiancee, ty*iore. and Bess, a seamstress, are survivor? of a Shipwreck. They land ou ail island inhabited only by a uian named uooms- . dorf and his Indian wife. Uoorr.adorf ahoots to death Captain Knutzen, another survivor. * The master of the island has named the island ‘'Hell." He tells his prisoners that they must work and slave for him as he once had to do in a Russian prison. e Lenore is too weak to take up her - burden immediately so Poomldorf sends Ned and Bess to chop wooa.i They are * forced to work until they both fall unf conscious, then Doomsdori tarries them 1. U> his cabin and throws the-i on the v floor. Bes3 is able to administer to Ned. who seems the weaker ot the two. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ND perhaps the administering hands halted in their work for b__l one part of an instant. His wet, clinging clothes had been removed, and blankets, already warmed,, were being wrapped about him. - He fell Into deep, restful sleep. But it ended all too soon. A gTeat hand shook him, snatching him Into a sitting position, and a gieat bearded face, unspeakably terrible in 4be 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 Jiave breakfast. Out before I boot you out.” x Ned pulled on his clothes, scarcely "wondering at the fact that they were ■hanging, miraculously dry, back of -the stove; and .immediately hurried yo Lenorc’s side. He forgot his own caching muscles in distress for her; Jand 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.

J, i DOOMSDORF WAS SORTING OUT £OME OF HIS SMALLER TRAPS. • “I trust you’re not hatching mutiny?'’ the sardonic voice came out. 7 “Not just now,” Ned answered Jrith some spirit. “There’s not, much' use to hatch mutiny, things being as ihey are.” * “You don’t say! There’s a rifle on the wall —” : - * “Always empty—” J “But the pistol I carry is always loaded. Why don’t you try to take It away from me?” Then his voice Changed, surly and rumbling* again: “But. enough of that nonsense. Y<nf know what would happen to you If you i tried anything—l’ve told you thati already. There’s work to do tofcay. There’s got to be another cabin 7*— logs cut? built up! roof put on—a place for the three of you to bunk That's the work today.

J “The Tanlac treatment Just the same as made me all over,” Is the characteristic statement of Curtiss Cowles, a New York Centrail railroad flagman, living at 19 East Genesse Bt., Buffalo. r “I had rheumatism In my feet so had I could hardly walk. My toes couldn’t have pained worse If some one actually had been trying to twist them around with a wrench. I actually had to put all my weight on ray £eels, my toes hurt so bad. My appetite was poor, my stomach out of fix, jay- nerves oh edge, and I was unable i Jo sleep. * “Finally a friend put me on to Maniac and four bottles made anew of me. It not only rid. me of ■rheumatism, but It acted as a fine ionic, building me up thirty-eight “pounds. In my opinion, Tanlac is the world’s greatest.” '' * Tanlac Is for sale by all good druggists.

the work I'll lay out. Lenore can learn to do her stint with the others. And hereafter, when you address me, cal me ‘Sir.’ A mere matter of employer’s discipline—” Because he knew his master, Ned nodded in agreement. “Yes, sir,” he returned simply. "One thing else. I can’t be expected to do real work in this kind of clothes. You’ve laid out furs and skins for the girls; I want to get something, too, that will keep me warm and dry.” “I’m 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 vou 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 warm clothes?” he demanded bluntly. B "When you earn them,” was the answer. ‘*n a few days more you’ll be running out your traps, and everything you catch, at first, you can keep. You've got to prove yourself smarter than the animals before you get the right to wear their skins.” XIX The previous day and night had been full of revelation for Ned; and as he started forth from the cabin with his ax, there occurred a little scene that tended even further to Illustrate his changing viewpoint. Gloating with triumph at the younger man’s subjection, Doonisdorf called sardonically from the cabin doorway“l trust I can’t help you In any way?” he asked. Discerning the premeditated Insult in his tone, Ned whirled to face him. Then for an Instant he stood shivering with wrath. "Yes,” he answered. His promise to say “sir” was forgotten in his rage. “You can at least treat me with the respect deserved by a -good workman.” ’ Little, amused lines came about DoomsdorTs fierce eyes. “A good workman, eh?” he echoed. “Yes. you did work fair enough yesterday. Walt just a minute.” He turned into his door, in a moment reappearing with a saw and several iron wedges from among his supplies of. tools. He put them In Ned's hands, and the latter reoeiyed them with a delight never experienced at any favor of fortune in the past. As he worked, the stiffness and pain that yesterday’s toll had left in his muscles seemed to pass away. The ax swung easily In his arms. When the first, tree -was chopped down, he set Lenore and Bess at trimming off the branches and sawing twelve-foot logs for the but. It came about that he chopped down several trees before the two jirls had finished cutting and trimming the first. Seemingly Lenore had not yet recovered from the trying experience of two before, for she wholly failed to do any part of the w-ork. What was done at this end of the labor Bess did alone. The unmistakable Inference was that Ned would have to double his own speed In order to avoid the lash at night The day turned out to be not greatly different from the one preceding. Again Ned worked to absolute exhaustion; the only apparent change seemed to be that he accomplished a greater amount of work before he finally fell insensible in the snow. This was the twilight hour, and prone in the snow he lay like a warrior among his fallen. About him was a ring of trees chopped down and, with Bess’ aid, trimmed of their limbs, notched and sawed Into lengths for the cabin. They had only to be lifted, one upon another, to form the cabin w-alls. Bess had collapsed, too, as the twilight hour drew on; and Lenore alone was able to walk unaided to the shack. Again Ned lay Insensible on the floor beßlde the stove, hut tonight, long past the supper hour, he was able to rcrpove his own wet clothes and to -devour some of the unsavory leftovers from the meal. The third day was given to lifting the great logs, one upon another, for the walls of the cabin. Tt was, In reality, the hardest work he had yet done, as to shift each log Into place took every ounce of lifting power the man had: The girls could help him but little here, for both of them together did not seem to be able to handle an end of the great logs. He found he had to lift each end tn turn. Yet he was able to drag to the 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 hi? wet clothes and falling among the blankets that Doomsdorf had left for Ms use on the floor. Almost at once it was dawn again. Anew. more vivid consciousness was upon him when he -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 the first creative work he had ever done, and he looked at it and saw that It was good. The cabin Itself was roomy and snug; here he could find seclusion from Doomsdorf and his Imperturbable squaw. Doomsdorf gave him a rusted, discarded stove; and It was almost Joy to see It standing. In its place! With DoomsdorTs permisson, 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; Bess toiling to the limit of her fine young strength: Lenore making the merest prstense. 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 allotted them certain duties—so many trees to cut up Into stove wood, or some other

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 ra tipns in their own home, anough con eentrated nutriment to put them in Ned with indigestion, did not eufTice for a single meal. Never before had Ned really known the -love of food — red meat, the fair, good bread, rice grains, white and fluffed—l.jt it came upon him quickly enough now. He hadn’t forgotten that the first furs taken would be his, and he needed them sorely enough. Indeed, the matter was beginning to be of paramount 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 valleys and over rugged hills that now, when he had time to look about him, seemed to invite his exploration. Best of all, the work would largely carry him away from Doomsdorf’s presence. If only he could spare Lenore, not only by permission of Doomsdorf, but by tho consent of the girl herself. The matter came up that night w hile Doomsdorf was sorting out some of his smaller traps. "We’ll light out to morrow,” he said. “The sooner we get these things set, the better The water furs seem to be absolutely prime already—l’m sure the land furs muet be, too. I've laid out three lines—sometimes I’ve trapped one and sometimes another.” (Continued In Our Next Issue) Dutch farm girls wash their faces
