As tie glance met hers he saw tears in her eyes, saw her.lips trembling. “All right, Curt,” she said quietly, with a bu- mility that shamed tim.

Paul was carefully inspect ing it end plugeing chinks so that BO errows could sift through. They @ia not count on ‘having to use the defense; but their situation was delicate, LeNoir was a crafty fellow, and it-wae wise to guard against the unforeseen. At the upper tip of the island Ralph was sitting at the water edge occasiopally drawing in.a fish on the hand-line he was holding. He looked lonely“and-digconsolate. Curt won- dered whether Sonya ‘had really.told him the truth about her trip, Ralph was an unselfish ‘soul, but to bring the girl he loved into that country Seemed @ bit too self-effacing even for him. Probably she had spun him some lie. Ashe brought Paul an extra rock ‘ho was startled by thétow quavering call of an owl six hundred yards out upon the Jake. He dropped the rock, stood ‘listening. LeNoir? it couldn't be; the red star wes nearly two hours high. But then the call came again, no nearer but louder; and he distinctly caught the falsetto quality of it. “Hell! It is LeNoir, Peul! He's come early for her.” Paul nodded. “Yes, it's he. Siam- Klale and he must want to get the whole business over with tonight!” ‘They ‘crouched down ‘behind the wocks and waited.

He stopped short, listened. A mile south, down where the river mar; mowed to a bottle neck, a flurry of | shots sounded.

Working swiftly, they made ready to leave, They left the tents standing, abandoned most of the supplies and all the heavier things; took nothing but guns, blankets and food for a few days. “Carry this stuff to the canoe,” Curt directed. “I'll go get Ralph.” As he burried up the island, he tried to figure how he might salvage something out of the wreckage of ‘his plans. Perhaps they could take Ralph several miles ap some tribu- tary river where the Klosohees were ‘not likely to come, and secrete him ‘in some cave, with food and camp necessities, to be picked up later when they had fin.shed with Karak- han. it was possible. “Ralph!
