PEGIN HERE TODAY Not! Cornet. l.enore Harden worth and Bees Gilbert take refuse together on an island when they are shipwrecked. Eenore is ensasred to be married to Ned. They find the island inhabited by a man blamed Doomsdorf and his Indian wife. Doonisdorf takes Ned and the pir.s prisoners and makes Bess and Ned sla' e for him. Lenorp is allowed to help the squaw with the housework, but Boss and Ned are driven by their master until they fall unconscious. The prisoners are allowed to build a cabin and. after it i3 finished. Bess and Ned are sent or. difterent trapping routes. They have several narrow escapes from death. Together they plan how to escape from the island When Doomsdorf becomes infatuated with Bess and makes advances to her Ned interferes. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY a r_ ; HERJBTS no need of going farI I ther,” he said in his deep, t [ rumbling voice. "There was no need of even coming here. You seem to be forgetting, you two. where you are —all the things I told you at first.” He paused, and his voice had dropped, and the tone yvas strange and even, dreadful to hear, when he spoke again. “I’ve evidently been too easy with you.” he went on. “I’ll see that I correct that fault in the future. You. Ned. made a serious mistake when you interfered in this matter tonight. I’ll see if I cant’ teach you to keep jour place. And Bess—long ago I told you that your body and soul were mine—to do with what I liked. You seemed to have fctrgotten —but I intend that you will call it to mind—again.” But Ned still faced him when he paused, eyes steadfast, his face an iron gray In the wan light. His training had been hard and true, and he still found strength to stand erect.
NED MOVED TOWARD HER, REACHING FOR HER HANDS. “I want to tell you this—in reply,” he answered in the clear, firm voice of one who has mastered fear. “We know well enough what you can do to us. But that doesn't mean that we’re going to yield to you—to every one of your evil wishes. Rife isn't so pleasant to either of us that we'll submit to everything in order to love. No matter what you do to me —I know what I’ll do to you if you try to carry out your wicked designs by force.” Domsdorf eyed him ealmlj r . but the smile of contempt was wholly gone from his lips. ‘'You’ll show fight?” he asked. "With every ounce I’ve got: You may master me—with every advantage” of weapons and physical strength —but you'll have to kill me first. Bess will kill herself before she’ll yield to you. You won’t be better off —you'll simply have no one to do your trapping for you. It isn’t worth it, Doomsdorf.” He eyed them a moment, coolly and casually. "When I want anything, Ned. I want it bad enough to pay aR I’ve got for it,” he said In a remarkably even tone. “Don't presume that I value your lives so much that I’ll turn one-step from my course. Besides. Ned —you won't be here:” Ned’s eyes widened, as he tried to read his meaning. Doomsdorf laughed softly in the silence. "You won’t be here:” he repeated. “You fool—do you think I’d let you get In my way? It will rest as it is tonight. Tomorrow morning you start out to tend your traps—and will tend Bess’ lines as well as our own. She will stay here —with 'me —from now on." Ned felt his muscles hardening to steel. “I won’t leave her to you—” -You won't? Don’t make any mls-
COULD HARDLY DO HER WORK Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Made Her Eat, Sleep and Feel Better Every Way Chicago, 111.—“I was weak and rundown and in such a nervous condition ' —— that I could hardly tired all the time, and had no appetite. I tried different medicines for did not help^me. the papers about Iham’g Vegetable Compound and what it had done for other women and gave it a trial.

take on that point. If you arc not on your way by sun-up, you get a hundred —from the knotu. Ypu won't be able to leave for some time after that —but neither will you be able to interfere with what doesn’t concern you. I’ll j-ou a few in the dawn —just as a sample to show what they’re like. Nor am I afraid of Bess killing herself. It’s cold and dark here, but It’s colder and darker —there. She’ll stand a lot before she’ll do that.” “That’s definite?” Ned asked. "The truest words I ever spoke. I’ve never gone back on a promise yet.” "And believe me. I won’t go back on mine. If that’s all you have to say—” “That’s quite all. Think it over—you’li find it isn’t so bad. And now —good night.” He bowed to them, in mock politeness. Then he turned back into his cabin. For a moment his two prisoners stood inert, utteerly motionless in the wan light. Ned started to turn to her. still held by his. own dark ilioughts. but at the first glance of her white, set face, he whirled In the most breathless amazement. It,was in no way the stricken, terrified countenance that he had seen a few moments before. The lips were firm, the eyes deep and strange; even in the half-light he could see her look of inexorable purpose. Some great resolve had come to her —some sweeping emotion that might be akin to hope. Was she planning suicide? Was that the meaning of this new look of iron resolution in her face? He cotild conceive of no other explanation; in self-infllicted death alone lay deliverance from Doomsdorf’s lust. He dared not hope for any happier freedom. He reached groping hands to hers. "You don’t mean"—he gasped, hardly able to make his lips move In speech—“you don’t intend —?” “To kill myself? Not yet. by a long way.” The girl s hand slipped cautiously out from the pocket of her jacket, showing him what seemed to be a small, square box of ti But the light was too dim for him to make out the words on the paper label. "I got this from the shelf—- | just as we left the cabin.” The hopeful tones in her voice was the happiest sound Ned had heard since he come to the island. "What is it?” he whispered. "Nothing very much—hut yet—a chance for freedom. Come into the cabin where we can scratch a "latch. ’’ They moved into the newer hut of logs, and there Bess showed him the humble article in which lay her hopes. It was merely a tin of fine snuff from among Doomsdorf’s personal supplies. Talking in an undertone, not to he heard through the log walla. Bess and Ned made their hasty plans for deliverance.
Here, in the cabin they occupied, the assault must be made. The reason was simply that their plan was defeated at the outset if they attempted to master Doomsdorf in the squaw's presence. The plan, on perfection, was really very simple. As soon as Lenore came, she would be sent back to the cabin to bring Doomsdorf. She would need no further excuse than that Bess had asked to see him. Ned's knowledge of the brute’s psychology told him that. Ned would be waiting in the newer cabin when Lenore and Doomsdorf returned. He would immediately excuse himself and pass out the door, at the same instant that Bess extended a chair for Doomsdorf. And the instant that he was seated Bess would dash a handful of the blinding snuff into his eyes. Ned’s axe leaned just without the cabin door. Doomsdorf would notice it as he went in; otherwise his suspicions might be aroused. And In his first instant of agony and blindness. Ned would seize the weapon, dash back through the door, and make the assault. They had scarcely perfected the plan before Lenore appeared, on the way to her cot. Just an instant she halted, her face and golden head a glory in the soft light, as she regarded their glittering Ned moved toward her. reaching for her hands. For a breath he gazed into her lovely face. “Bess wants you to go—-and tell Doomsdorf—to come here,” he told her. His voice was wholly steady, every word clearly enunciated; if anything, he spoke somewhat more softly and evenly than usual. “Just tell him that she wants to see him.” She took her eyes from his. glancing about with unmistakable apprehension. Her .searching eyes suddenly turned in fascinated horror to Bess. Standing near the open door, so that the room might not be filled with the dust of the snuff and thus convey a warning to Doomsdorf. she was emptying the contents of the snuffbox into her handkerchief. Her eyes gleamed under her brow's. and her hands were wholly steady. Lenore shivered a little, her hands pressing Ned’s. “What does it mean ?” “Liberty! That’s what it means, if the plan goes through.” For the first time Ned’s voice revealed suppressed emotion. Liberty! He spoke the word as a devout man speaks of God. “It’s the only chance—now or never,” he went on with perfect coldness. “You've got to hold up and do your share —I know you can. If we succeed —and we've got every chance — It’s freedom, escape from this island and Doomsdorf. If we fail, it's likely death —but death couldn't be any worse than this. So we’ve nothing to lose—and everything to gain.” Overswept by their ardor Lenore turned back through the door. Her instructions were simple. The easiest task of the three was hers. Bess took one of the crude chairs, her handkerchief—clutched as if she had been weeping—in her iap. Ned sat down in one of the other chairs, intending to arise and excuse himself the instant Doomsdorf appeared. His muscles burned under his skin. Ti#was only about fifty yards to the cne ,a.

would be in the space of a few seconds. The door of the cabin closed behind her, and Lenore was alone with the night. Could she take the fighting chance? Could she rise above this awful first fear; master it, scorn it. go her brave way in the face of it? But before ever she found her answer, she found herself at the cabin door. Listless, terrified almost to the verge of collapse, she turned (he knob and opened the door. Doomsdorf had not yet gone to his blankets; otherwise the great bolt of iron would be in place. He was stijl sitting before the great, glowing stove, dreaming his savage dreams. The girl halted before him, leaning against a chair. At first her tongue could hardly shape the words. Her throat filled, her heart faltered In her breast. "Bess—asked to see you.” she told him at last. “She says for you to come—to her cabin."
