great lake in the world has no timber or
its shores, and with the mighty forests of
the Yuugas five days off no one is going
to think of paddles. l’iain contorted poles
of the iron cupl are far more easily brought
over the Andean passes, and they have to
suillcc. '
Slowly, with Pablo pollng into the mini

tctgru, whispering as it went with its

with that and tho grasping mud, I looked
to see him dragged buck overboard. But
he wagged the pole sharply and hold fast

cidcdiy his eyes were right. The boy was
no mouse
In ten minutes we pushed our nest-
through the last tctoral and worn in the
open. The wind batted the border in‘ our
face. The waves—no longer tamed by the
rushcn breakwater of tho inshore—came
running at us like a stampede. The slow

I looked thither and then back at him on-

“More wind,” he said concisely, “either
to get to the island before it or”-—nud the
Spanish shrug said the rest for him.
We did not got to the island before it.
Two hundred yards away the gale struck
us and flattened tho balsa into the waves,
and ,‘thowuves into the level, and was like
to strip us bodily from our soaked craft.
After that nothing was very clear, for the.
winds and waves washed us fore and aft,
and it was hard to say which was the
colder and more pitiicss, and one saw ill
for that bitter pelting'ln the face: and the
heart reeled with overwork to feed the
leaping lungs. Bent forward till our heads

But do my eyes were a blue eyed baby
and her mother 5,000 miles away, and for
that my temper was more to fight, with
shut teeth, than to be vowing candlestioks.
And just then it struck run to think in
that silly maundcriug of the mind in
stress how pruceful l’ablo would look
when they should pick as up and how they
would add: ‘Umpss! But these gringos are
of ill temper. no?"
For half an hour perhaps we doubled to

We scraped a trough in the gravel and lay
down in it spoon fashion, my arms around
i'nblo's chest, and so wore out the night.
We were chilled and stiff and half inan-
imnte when the sluggaul sun pooped over
the far peaks of A‘polobamha and got up
like old men. But even the light was
.cbocrlng, and presently a soft glow began
to tame the bitter air, and we ran clum-
sily and danced about and swung our
arms till the blood won't free again in its
forgotten channels. Pablo was all right
now—a boy is a hard thing .to kill, and
particularly an outdoprs boy—and chatted
leisurely and ‘cnimly, as Was his way.

"But wait me," said llltl‘ little bciscro.
"It is better not to frighten them, for we
may need more than one. With this there

As he spoke he unwound the braided
sling which bound his long, black hair. It
was the immomorial Weapon of his pcopln
-—-cvcu so I had taken it from the skulls
of ruinumles of his ancestors far outcdut-

There was a commotion among the
birds, and a great-white swan stretched
and half roso from the water and drnpprd
linck in a shower of spray. Pablo was ill

all but his head, and in a couple of rods
that also disappeared. The swan suddenly
rctloublrd its struggles, beating one wing
till the water foamed, but without prog
