the Wings of the Morning By LOUIS TRACY Copyright.1903. by Edward J. Clode

SYNOPSIS. Chapter I—The Sirdar, having among her passengers IrU Deane, daughter of the owner of the ship, and Robert Jenks, who is working as a waiter, is wrecked. ll—All are lost save Mias Deane and Jenks, who are east ashore op an Islet in the Pacific. Jenkins recovers stores and weapons from the wrecked vessel. He finds the skeleton of a European on the island. IT—A eave on the Island is fitted up as a habitation. A chart of the island, mysteriously marked, la found on the skeleton. There was a troubled look In bis eyes when he answered: ~ • “It is best to tell yon at once that before help reaches us we may be visited by cruel and bloodthirsty savages. I would not even ihentlon this If It were a remote contingency. As matters stand, yon ought to know that such a thing may happen. Let us trust in God’s goodness that assistance may come soon. The island has seemingly been deserted for many months, and therein lies onr best chance of escape. But lam obliged to warn you lest you should be taker, unawares.” Iris was serious enough now. “How do you know that such danger threatens us?” she demanded. He countered readily. “Because I happen to have read a good deal about the China sea and Its frequenters,” iie said. “I am the last man in the world to alarm you needlessly. AH 1 mean to convey Is that certain precautions should be taken against a risk that is possible, not probable. No more.” She could not repress a shudder. The sailor wanted to tell her that he would defend her against a host of Bavages if he were endowed with many lives, but he was perforce toogued lied. He even reviled himself for having spoken, but she saw the anguish In his face, and her woman's heart acknowledged him as her protector, her shield. “Mr. Jenks,” she said simply, “we are In God’s hands. I put my trust in him and In you. I am hopeful—nay, more, confident. I thank you for what yotr have done, for all that you will do. If you cannot preserve me from threatening perils no man could, for you are as brave and gallant a gentleman as lives on the earth today.” Now, the strange feature of this extraordinary and unexpected outburst of pent up emotion was that the girl pronounced his name with the slightly emphasized accentuation of one who knew it to be a mere disguise. The man was so taken aback by her declaration of faith that the minor Incident, though it did not escape him, was smothered in a tumult of feeling. He could not trust himself to speak. He rose hastily and seized the ax to deliver a murderous assault upon a sago palm that stood close at hand. Iris was the first to recover a degree of self possession. For a moment she had bared her soul. With reaction came a sensitive shrinking. Her delicate nature disapproved these sentimental displays. She wanted to box her own ears. With innate tact she took a keen Interest in the felling of the tree. “What do you want It for?” she inquired when the sturdy trunk creaked and fell. Jenks felt better now. “This is a change of diet,” he explained. “No; we don’t boil the leaves d>r nibble the bark. When I split this palm open you will find that the interior is full of pith. I will cut it out for you, and then it will be your task to knead it with water after well washing it, pick out all the fiber and finally permit the water to evaporate. Iu a couple of days the residuum will oecome a white powder, which, when boiled, is sago.” “Good gracious!” said Iris. “The story sounds unconvincing, but I believe I am correct. It is worth a trial.”

“I should hafe imagined that sago grew on a stalk like rice or wheat.” “Or Topsy!” She laughed. A difficult situation bad passed without undue effort Unhappily the man reopened it. While using a crowbar as a wedge he endeavored to put matters on a straightforward footing. “A little while ago,” he said, “you seemed to imply that I had assumed the name of Jenks.” But Miss Deane’s confidential mood had gone. “Nothing of the kind,” she said coldly. “I think Jenks Is an excellent name." She regretted the words even as they fell from her lips. The sailor gave a mighty wrench with the bar, splitting the log to its clustering leaves. “You are right,” he said. “It is distinctive, brief, dogmatic. I cling to it passionately.” Soon afterward, leaving Iris to the manufacture of sago, he went to the leeward side of the island, a search for turtles being his ostensible object. When the trees hid him lie quickened his pace and turned to the left In order to explore the cavity marked on the tin with a skull and crfcssbones. To his surprise he hit upon the remnants of a roadway—that Is, a line through the wood where there were no well grown trees, where’ ti.e ground bore traces of humanityrin the shape of a wrinkled and mildewed pair of Chinese boots, a wooden sandal, even the decayed remains of a palkl, or llt- | At last he reached the edge of the

pit, and the sight "thaT'meFTfls eyes held him spellbound. The labor of many hands had tom a chasm, a quarry, out of the side of the hill. Roughly circular In shape, it had a diameter of perhaps a hundred feet, and at Its deepest part, toward the cliff, it ran to a depth of forty feet On the lower side, where the sailor stood, it descended rapidly for some fifteen feet. Grasses, shrubs* plants of every variety, grew in profusion down the steep slopes wherever seeds could find precarious nurture until a point was reached about ten or eleven feet from the bottom. There all vegetation ceased, as If forbidden to cross a magic circle. Below this belt the place was a cornel house. The bones of men and animals mingled in weird confusion. Most were

mere skeletons. A few bodies—nine the sailor counted—yet preserved some resemblance of humanity. These latter were scattered among the older relics. They wore the clothes of Dyaks. Characteristic hats and weapons denoted their nationality. The others, the first harvest of this modern Golgotha, might have been Chinese coolies. When the sailor’s fascinated vision could register details he distinguished yokes, baskets, odd looking spades hud picks strewn amid the bones. The animals were all of one type—small, lanky, with long pointed skulls. At last he spied a withered hoof. They were pigs. * Over all lay a thick coating of fine sand, deposited from the eddying winds that could never reach the silent depths. The place was grewsome, horribly depressing. Jenks broke out into a clammy perspiration. He seemed to be looking at the secrets of the grave. At last his superior intelligence asserted itself. His brain became clearer, recovered its power of analysis. He began to criticise, reflect, and this is the theory he evolved: Some one. long ago, had discovered valuable minerals in the volcanic rock. Mining operations were in full blast when the extinct volcano took its revenge upon the human ants gnawing at its vitals and smothered them by a deadly outpouring of carbonic acid gas, the bottled up poison of the ages. A horde of pigs, runulng wild over the island—placed there no doubt by Chinese fishers—had met the same fate on dreadful orgy. Then there came a European who knew how the anbydrate gas, being heavier than the surrounding air, settled like water in that terrible hollow. He, too, had striven to wrest the treasure from the stone by driving a tunuel Into the cliff. He had partly succeeded and had gone away, perhaps to obtain help, after crudely registering his knowledge on the lid of a tin canister. This, again, probably fell into the hands of another man, who, curious but unconvinced, caused himself to he set ashore on this desolate spot with a few inadequate stores. Possibly he had arranged to be taken off within a fixed time. But a sampan laden with Dyak pirates came first, and the intrepid explorer’s bones rested near the well, while his head had gone to decorate the hut of some fierce village chief. The murderers, after burying their own dead—for the white man fought hard, witqess the empty cartridges—searched the island. Some of them, Ignorantly inquisitive, descended into the hollow. They remained there. The others, superstitious barbarians, fled for their lives, embarking so hastily that they took from the cave neither tools nor oil, though they would greatly prize these articles. ~ Such was the tragic web he spun, a compound of fact and fancy. It explained all perplexities save one. What did “82 iivijgaL.br 1” ma/tf JEw

there yet another fearsome riddle a waiting solution ? •And then his thoughts flew to Iris. Happen what might, her bright picture was seldom absent from his brain. Suppose, egg hunting, she had stumbled across this valley of death! How could he hope to keep It hidden from her? Was not the ghastly knowledge better than the horror of a chance ramble through the wood and the shock of discovery—nay, indeed, the risk of a catastrophe? He rushed back through the trees until he caught sight of Iris industrious,ly kneading the sago pith in one of those most useful dish covers. He called to her, led her wondering to the track and pointed out the fatal quarry, but in such wise that she could not look inside it. / j “You remember that round hole we saw from the summit rock?” he said. “Well, it is full of carbonic acid gas, to breathe which means unconsciousness and death. It gives no warning to the inexperienced. It Is rather pleasant than otherwise. Promise me you will never come near this place again.” Now, Iris, too, had been thinking deeply. Robert Jenks bulked large in her day dreams. Her nerves were not yet quite normal. There was a catch in her throat as she answered: ‘T don’t want to die. Of course I will keep away. What a horrid Island this Is! Yet it might be a paradise.” She bit her lip to suppress her tears; but, being the Eve In this garden, she continued: "How did you find out? Is there anything—nasty—in there?” “Yes, the remains of animals and other things. I would not have told you were it not imperative.” “Are you keeping other secrets from me?” “Oh, quite a number.” He managed to conjurq up a smile, and the ruse was effective. She applied the words to his past history. “I hope they will not be revealed so dramatically,” she said. “You never can tell,” he answered. They were in prophetic vein that morning. They returned in silence to the cave. * “I wish to go Inside with a lamp. May I?” he asked. “May I come too?” she demanded. He assented, with an explanation of his design. When the lamp was In order he held it close to the wall and conducted a systematic survey. The geological fault which favored the construction of the tunnel seemed to diverge to the left at the farther end. The “face” of the rock exhibited the marks of persistent labor. The stone had been hewn away by main force when the dislocation of strata ceased to be helpful. His knowledge was limited on the subject, yet Jenks believed that the material here was a hard limestone rather than the external basalt. Searching each Inch with the feeble light, he paused once, with an exclamation. “What is It?” cried Iris.

“I cannot be certain,” he said doubtfully. “Would you mind holding the lamp while I use a crowbar?” In the stone was visible a thin vein, bluish white in color. He managed to break off a fair sized lump containing a well defined specimen of the foreign mjptal. They hurried into the open air and examined the fragment with curious eyes. The sailor picked it with his knife, and the substance in the vein came off In laminated layers, small, brittle scales. “Is It silver?” Iris was almost excited. “I do not think so. I am no expert, but I hrfve a vague idea—l have seen”— He wrinkled his brows and pressed away the furrows with his hand, that physical lrnhit of his when perplexed. “I have It.” he cried. “It Is antimony.” Miss Deane* pursed her lips In disdain. Antimony! What was antimony? “So much fuss for nothing,” she said. “It is used In alloys'and medicines” he explained. “To, us it is useless." He threw the piece of rock contemptuously among the bushes. Rut. being thorough In all that he undertook, he returned to the onve and again conducted an inquisition. The silver hued vein became more strongly marked at the point where It disappeared downward into a collection of rubble and sand. That wns all r Did men give their toll, their lives, for this? So it would appear. Be that as it might, he had more pressing work. If the cave still held a secret it must remain there. Iris had gone back to her sago kneading. Shouldering the ax. he walked to the bench. Much debris from the steamer was lying high and dry. It was an easy task for an athletic man to reach the palm tree, yet the sailor hesitated with almost Imperceptible qualms. “A halted rat trap," he muttered. Then he quickened his pace. With the first active spring from rock to rock his unacknowledged doubts vanished. He might find stores of priceless utility. The reflection Inspired him. Jumping and climbing like n cut. lu two minutes he wns near the tree. He could now see the true explanation of Its growth In a seemingly Impossible place. Here the bed of the sea bulged upward in a small sand cay, which silted round the base of a limestone rock so different in color and formation from the coral reef. Nature, whose engineering contrivances can force springs to mountain tops, managed to deliver to this Isolated refuge a sufficient supply of water to nourish the palm, and the roots, firmly lodged In deep crevices, were well protected from the waves. Between the sailor and the tree intervened a small stretch of shallow water. Landward this submerged saddle shelved steeply into the lagoon. Although the water In the cove *as twen ty fathoms In TdentiiUts.omtaLdMr-

ness Was remarkable. The bottom, composed of marvelously white sand and broken coral, rendered other objects conspicuous. He could see plenty of fish, but not a single shark, wMIa oil the inner slope of the reef was plainly visible the destroyed fore part of the Sirdar, which had struck bo* yond the tree, relatively to his present standpoint. He had wondered why no boats were cast ashore. Now he saw the reason. Three of them were still fastened to the davits and carried down with the hull. Seaward the water was not so clear. The waves created patches of foam, and long submarine plants swayed gently in the undercurrent. To reach Palm Tree rock anticipating Its subsequent name—he must cross a space of some thirty feet and wade up to his waist. He made the passage with ease. Pitched against the bole of the tree was a long, narrow case, very heavy, iron clamped and marked with letters in black triangles and the broad arrow of the British government. “Rifles, by all the gods!” shouted the sailor. The Sirdar carried a consignment of arms and ammunition from Hongkong to Singapore. Providence had decreed that a practically inexhaustible store of cartridges should be hurled across the lagoon to the island. And here were rifles enough to equip half a company. He would not risk the precious ax in an attempt to open the case. He must go back for a crowbar. [to be continued j

How Is Your Heart? Is your pulse weak, too slow,* too fast, or does it skip a beat? Do you have shortness of breath, weak or hungry spells, fainting,smothering or choking spells, palpitation, fluttering, pains around the heart, in side and shoulder: or hurt when lying on left side? If you have any of these symptoms your heart is weak or diseased, and cannot get better without assistance. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure strengthens weak hearts, and rarely ever fails to cure heart disease. Try it, and see how quickly you will find relief., “About January Ist. 1902, I took down with weakness and dropsy, and gradually grew worse. I was told by my family physician that my case was hopeless. My neighbors and family had given me up to die. My limbs and body were swollen to onethird larger than normal size, and water had collected around my heart. For at least three months I had to sit propped up In bed to keep from smothering. I sent for five bottles of Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure, and by the time I had taken them all I was entirely cured. I fee 1 better than I have for twenty years, and ’I am able to do any kind of work on my farm. My attending physician told me that If ft hadn't been for Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure I would now be In my grave.‘ r L. T. CURD. Wll more, Ky.
