(Tontinued in Ne\t I*4ur.) About 3 ociock in the afternoon they came about off a beautiful wooded shore opposite the mouth of what appeared to be a land-locked harbor. Black Michael sent a small boa; filled with men to sound the entrance in an effort to determine if the Fuwalda could he safely worked I through the entrance. In about an hour they returned and reported deep water through chr passage as well as far into the little basin. Before dark the barkantlne lay peacefully at anchor upon the bosom of the still, mlrror-like surface oi the harbor. The surrounding shores were beautiful with semi-tropical verdure, while in the distance the country rose from the ocean In hill and tableland, almost uniformly clothed by primeval forest. ?Co signs of habitation were visible, but that the land might easily support human life was evidenced by the abundant bird and animal life of which the watchers on the Fuwalda’s desk caught occasional j glimpses, as well as by the shimmer | of a little river which emptied into j the harbor. Insuring fresh water in j plentitude. As darkness settled upon the | earth, Clayton and Lady Alice stilt! stood by the ship's rail in silent contemplation of their future abode. From the dark shadows of the mighty forest came the wild calls of savage beasts —the deep roar of the lion. And. occasionally, the shrill Bcream of a panther. The woman shrank closer to the man in terror-stricken anticipation of the horrors lying in wait for them In the awful blackness of the nights to come, when they two should be clone upon that wild and lonely shore. Later in the evening Black Michael joined them long enough to instruct them to make their preparations for landing on the morrow. They tried to persuade him to take them to some more hospitable coast near enough to civilization so that they might hope to fall into friendly hands. But no pleas, or threats, or promises of reward could move him. “I am the only man aboard who would not rather see you both safely dead, and, while I know that that's the sensible way to make sure of our own necks, yet Black Michael’s not the man to forget a favor. Tou saved my life once, and in return I’m goin’ to spare yours, but that’s all I can do. “The men won’t stand for any more, and if we don’t get you landed pretty quick they may even change their minds about giving you that much show. I’ll put all your stuff ashore with you as well as cookin' utensils an’ some old sails for tents, an’ enough grub to last you until you can find fruit and game. “Bo that with your guns for protection, you ought to he able to live

But they'll find you all right.” After he had left them they went silently below, each wrapped in gloomy forebodings. Clayton did not believe that Black Michael had the slightest intention of notifying the British government ] of their whereabouts, nor was he ; any too sure but that some treach- ! ery was contemplated for the follow • ing day when they should be on shore with the sailors who would have to accompany them with their belongings. Once out of Black Michael's sight any of the men might strike them down, and s’till leave Black Michael's conscience clear. And even should they escape that 'ate was it not btit to be faced with far graver dangers? Alone, he might hope to survive for years; for lie was a strong, athletic man. But what of Alice, and that other little life so soon to be launched anundst the hardships and grave dangers of a primeval world? The man shuddered as he medi- j rated upon the awful gravity, the! fearful helplessness, of their situ- i ation. But it was a merciful Providence which prevented him from I foreseeing the hideous reality which awaited them in the grim depths of! that gloomy wood. Early next morning their numerous chests and boxes were hoisted on deck and lowered to waiting small boats for transportation to shore. There was a great quantity and i variety of stuff, as the Claytons had I expected a possible five to eight years’ residence in their new home, so that, in addition to the many necessities they had brought, were ; also many luxuries. I Black Michael was determined that | nothing belonging to the Claytons should be left on board. Whether j out of compassion for them, or in I furtherance of his own self interie.sfs, it were, difficult to say. There is no question but that the (presence of property of a missing | British official upon a suspicious vs---1 s-l would have been a difficult thing I to explain in any civilized port in the world. So zealous was he in his efforts to carry out his intentions that he I insisted upon the return of Clayton's' revolvers to him by the sailors in whose possession they were. Into th© small boats were also loaded salt meats and biscuits, with Ia small supply of potatoes and beans, ; matches, and cooking vessels, a ' chest of tools, and the old sails 1 which Black Michael had promised i them. As though himself fearing the very thing which Clayton had suspected. Black Michael accompanied them to shore, and was the last to | leave them when the small boats, j having filled the ship’s casks with fresh water, wore pushed out toward the waiting Puwalda. As the floats moved slowly over the smooth waters of the bay, Clayton and his wife stood silently watching their departure—in the breasts of both a feeling of impending disaster and utter hopelessness. And behind them, over the edge of a low ridge, other eyes watched—close set, wicked eyes, gleaming beneath shaggy brows. As the Fuwalda passed through the narrow entrance to the harbor and out of sight behind a projecting point. Lady Alice threw her arms about Clayton’s neck and burst into j uncontrolled sobs. Bravely had she faced the dangers ! of the mutiny; with heroic fortitude , she had looked into the terrible fu'ure; hut now that the horror of abiiolute solitude was upon them, her overwrought nerves gave way, and I he reaction came. He did not attempt to check her tears. It were better that nature have her way in relieving these long pent emotions, and it was many minutes before the girl—little more than a child she was—could again gain, mastery of herself. "Oh, John,” she cried at last, “the horror of It. What are we to do? What are we to do?” “There is but one thing to do, Alice.” and he spoke ns quietly as though they were sitting in their snug living room at home, “and that is work. Work must be our salvation. We must not give ourselves time to think, for in that di rection lies madness. “We must work and wait. I am sure that relief will come, and come quickly, when once it is apparent that the Fuwalda has been hist, even though Black Michael does not keep his word to us.” “But John, if it were only you and I.” she sobbed, “we could endure It T know: but—" “Yes. dear,” he answered gently, “I have been thinking of that, also; hut we must face it. as we must face whatever comes, bravely and with the utmost confidence in our ability to cope with circumstances whatever I they may he. “Hundreds of thousands of years ago our ancestors of the dim and listant. post faced the same problems which we must face, possibly in ; these same primeval forests. That ! we are here today evidences their I victory. “What they did may we not do? And even better, for ore %ve not I armed with ages c.f superior knowledge. and have we not the means iof protection, defense, and suste- ! nance which science has given us, hut of which they were totally ig- | norant? What they accomplished. Alice, with instruments and weaI pons of stone and bone, surely that may we accomplish also.” "Ah. John. I wish that I might he a man with a man’s philosophy, but ! I am hut a woman, seeing with my ! heart rather than my head, and all that I can see is too horrible, too unthinkable to put into words. "I only hope you are right, John, j I will do tny best to be a brave primeval woman, a fit mate for the i primeval man.” Clayton's first thought was to ar- : range a sleeping shelter for the ; night: something which might serve Ito protect them from prowling | beasts of prey. He opened the box containing his ribes and ammunition, that they might both be armed against possl-

Me attac k while at work, and then together they sought a location for their first night's .sleeping place. A hundred yards from the beach was a little level spot, fairly free of trees, and here they decided even tually to build a permanent house, but. for the time being, they both thought it best to construct a little platform in the trees out of reach of the larger of the savage beasts in whpse realm they were. To this end Clayton selected fourtrees which formed a rectangle about eight feet square, and cutting long branches from other trees he con strutted a framework around them, al-out ten feet from the ground, fastening the endes of the branches securely to the trees by means of rope, a quantity of which Black Michael had furnished him from the hold of the Fuwalda. Across this framework Clayton placed other smaller branches quite close together. This platform he paved with the huge fronds of ele phant's ear which grew in profusion about them, and over the fronds he laid a great sail folded into several thickness. Seven feet higher he constructed a similar, though lighter platform to serve as roof, and from the sides of this he suspended the balance of Ills sail doth for walls. When completed he had a rather snug little nest, to v.hich ho carried their blankets and somo of the lighter luggage. It was now late In the afternoon, and the balance of the day light hours were devoted to the building of a rude ladder by means of which Lady Alice could mount to her new home. All during the day the forest about them had been filled with excited birds of brilliant plumage, and dancing, chattering monkeys, who watched these new arrivals and their wonderful nest building operations with every mark of keenest interest and fascination. Notwithstanding that both Clayton and his wife kept a sharp lookout they saw nothing of larger animals, though on two occasions they had seen their little simian neighbors como screaming and hcattering from the nearby ridge, casting affrighted glances back over their little shoulders, and evincing as plainly as though by speech that they were fleeing some terrible thing which lay concealed there. Just before dusk Clayton finished his ladder, and, filling a great basin with water from the nearby stream, the two mounted to the comparative safety of their areial chamber. As it was quite warm, Clayton

had left the side curtains thrown hick over the' roof, and as they squatted, like Turks, upon their blankets. Lady Alice, straining her eyes into the darkening shadows of tin wood, suddf nly reached out and grasped Clay ton's arm. "John,”, she whispered, “look' What is it, a man?" As Clayton turned his eyes In the direction she indicated, ho saw silhouetted dimly against the shadows beyond, a great figure standing up:;ght upon the ridge. For a moment it stood as though listening and then turned slowly nd melted into the shadows of the jungle. "What is it, John?” “I do not know, Alice,” ho answer'd gravely, "it la too dark to see so >r, and It may have boon but a shadow cast by the rising moon.” “No, John, if It was not a man it was some huge and grotesque mockery of a man. Oh, I am afraid.” Copyright. A. C. McClurg A Cos., 1914.

March would lie too much, it was said at the White House today. Hence, there probably will be no reception, it was stated. A ball would be more in keeping with the spirit of the times, Mr. Coolitige believes. although ho probably would not attend. The parade has been tentatively decided on. Other features of the celebration will be settled by a local citizens’ committee to be appointed b ythe President early in January. LAST RITES ARRANGED Funeral services for Mrs. Rhoda V.

Intestinal Evacuant There is now offered to the public a liquid preparation which Is not only a wonderfully effective and QUICK intestinal evaouant, but which also seems to stimulate the glands of the intestinal tract and to cause expulsion of flatus (GAS). This preparation, known as Adlerika, is a valuable agent for the purpose of cleansing ttie bowels of matter which has been In the system a long time and which other less effective means have been unable to dislodge. It is often astonishing the great amount of matter Adlerika draws from the Intestinal canal—even right after a natural movement It sometimes brings out unsuspected quantities of additional matter. Many times It brings out much GAS. thus relieving pressure in the abdomen. Adlerika is especially valuable when PROMPT action is necessary or to encourage the elimination of metabolic poisons through the bowel. In slight disorders such as occasional constipation or gas on the stomach and
