pebbles sparkling like gems beneath It
lay between us and the caves.
"Tardif," I said, "you need not wait
for ns. We will return by the cliffs."
"You know the caves as well as I do?"
he replied, though in a doubtful tone.
"All right."' I said, aa I swung over the
side of the boat into the water, when I
found myself knee-deep. Olivia looked
from me to Tardif with flushed face
nn augury that made my pulses leap.
Why should her face never change when
he carried her in his arme? Why should
she shrink from me?
"Are you as strong as Tardif?" she
asked, lingering, and hesitating befor
she would trust herself to m
"aimnar it not altoa-ether." I answer
ed gaily. "I'm strong enough to under
take to carry you without wetting th
soles of your feet Come, it is not more
than half a dozen yards."
She was standing on the bench I had
Just left looking down at me with the
same vivid flush upon her cheeks and
forehead, and with an uneasy expression
in her eyes. Before she could speak
again I put my arms round her, and lift
ed her down.
"You re quite as light as l feather,"
I said, laughing, as I carried her to the
atrip of moist and humid strand under
the archway in the rocks. As I put her
down I looked back to Tardif, and saw
him regarding us with grave and sorrow
ful eyes.
"Adieu!" he cried; "I am going to look
after my lobster pots. God bless yoc
both!"
' He spoke the last words heartily; and
we stood watching him as long as he was
In sight Then we went on into the
caves.

'' thorn with Olivia, no other human being
la sight or sound of ns. I had scarcely
eyes for any sight but that of her face,
which bad grown shy and downcast and
was generally turned away from me. She
" would be frightened, 1 thought, if I spoke
to her in that lonesome piace. t wouia
wait till we were on the cliffs, in th
open eye of day.
She left my side for one moment whilst
I was poking under a stone fur a young
pieuvre, which had darkened, the little
' pool of water round it with its Inky fluid.
I heard her utter an exclamation of de
light and I gave np my pursuit instant

"Was it a happy time?" I inquired,

"It was a hateful time," she said ve

"Yon have traveled a great deal, then?"
I pursued, wishing her to talk about heft
self, for I could scarcely trust my reso
lution to wait till we were out of the
caves. "I love yoa with all my heart and

"We traveled nearly all over Europe,"
she replied.

Just then my ear caugnt ior me nrsi
time s low boom-boom, which had proba
bly been sounding through the cavea for
some minutes.
"Good heavens!" I ejaculated.
Yet s moment's thought convinced me
that though there might be a little risk,
there was no paralyzing danger. I had
forgotten the narrowness of the gulley
through which alone we could gain the
cliffs. From the open span of beach
where we were now standing, there was
niiniiM nf fonvlnir the caves exceot as
we had come to them, by a boat; for on
each aide a crag ran like a spur into
the water. There was not a moment to
w,. Without a word. I snatched np
Olivia In my arms, and ran back Into
the caves, making as rapidly ss i couiu
fnr tha inn?, strflikfht nassace.
Neither did Olivia speak s word or
nfta a nn Wa found ourselves In S
tow tunnel, where the water was be
ginning to flow in pretty strongly. I set
her down for an instant, and tore off my
coat and waistcoat Then I caught her
op again, and strode slong over the slip
pery, slimy masses of rock which Isy
under my feet covered with seaweed.
"Olivia," I said, "I must have my right
hand free to steady myself with. Put
both your arms round my neck and cling
to me so. Don't touch my arms or shoul
ders." Yet the clinging of her arms about my
neck, and her cbeek close to mine, al
most unnerved me. I held her fast with
mt left arm. and steadied myself wltn
mv riarht We gained In a minute or
two the mouth of the tunnel, ine ami
was pouring into It with a force almost
iu umal for me. hardened as I was.
But there was the pause of the tide,
nrhan tha waves rnshed OUt again in
white floods, lenvinz the water compara
tively shallow. There were still six or
aiirht varria tn traverse before W COUld
reach an archway in the Cliffs, which
mild land na in safetv in the outer
caves. There was some peril, but w
had no alternative. I lifted Olivia s lit
tle higher against my shoulder, for her
tnn utirrro dregs w tunned dangerously
around u both; and then waiting for the
pause in the tbrobmng oi iue uik,

down upon us I had staggered half-blind-ait

had not spoken once. She did not seem
i a Kir. in smoa If nnw. Her larze. terrified
eyes looked up at me dumbly, and her
funs waa while to the lins. I clasped her
in my arms once more, and kissed her
forehead and lips again and again, in a
paroxysm of passionate love and glad
ness. "Olivia!" I cried, "I wish you to be-

"Vmiwlnh thnt" ahe enaned. recoil

Olivia's answer struck me like an eele-
bearable. I did not think yoa loved me
till I aatr vnor face this afternoon."
"I shall slwsys lov you," I cried pas-
sionstely, looking down on the shining,
drooping head beside me, snd the sad
face and listless arms hanging down In
an attitude of dejection.
"No," she answered in her calm, sor
rnarfnl vniin. "When von se clearly
thst it Is sn evil thing yon will conquer
It There will be ao hope whatever in
your lov for me, and It will pass away.
Knt anon, nerhani: I can SCSrcelf Wish
yon to forget me soon. Yet It would b

"Yodr huaband must hav treated yoa
very badly, befor you would take such
a desperate step ss this," 1 ssid again,
after s long silence, scarcely knowing
what I said.
"He treated me so 111," said Olivia,
with the same hard tone In her voice,
"that when I had a chance to escape it
seemed as if heaven Itself opened th
door for m. He treated me ao ill that
if I thought there waa any fear of him
finding me out here, I would rather a
thousand time you had left me to di

STILL USE POISONED ARROWS.
CosMOf World's Inhabitant Cling to
Aoclent Hd of wariar.
Dr. W. J. Hoffman ot tbe geological
anrvev has been making a study of
poisoned arrows. Among other tniugs
he sars:
'I have never met an Indian who
would admit the use of poisoned arrows
In warfare against man. ineywiiisay
thev nse Dolsoned arrows to kill game.
but not to shoot In warfare. In nearly
all Instances when poisons are pre-
nnred hv Indians the oDeratiou is per
formed with more or less ceremony,
chanting and Incantation, for the pur-
nose of evoking evil spirits or demons,
In their belief tbe effects of poisons
are due wholly to tbe presence iu tnem
of malevolent spirits or demons, which
enter the body of tbe victims anu ae
strov life.
"The Shoshone and Bannock Indiana
atnt that the nroncr way to poison ar
rows, as formerly practiced by them, Is
to secure a deer and cause It to De bit
ten bv a rattlesnake, immediately after
which tbe deer Is killed and tbe meat
removed and Disced In a bole In tbe
e-rnnnd. When the mass has become
putrid tbe arrow points are dipped Into
It The Clallams of Puget (wunu, usea
to make arrow oolnts of copper, wbtcb
were afterward dipped In sea water
and permitted to corrode. This was a
dead-sure death dealer. '
"A microscopic examination of such
a coating utxra arrows obtained from
Apaches years ago showed the presence
of blood and a crystalline substance
that was apparently rattlesnake venom,
it Is a well-establlsbed fact that the
venom of serpents retains Its poison
ous properties when dried Indefinitely.
