Flint hoptt lv vtll not tell Bowert of thttr tight. Chapter 20 GATHERING CLOUDS fTTTILL you tell ma on thing?" ' asked Flint "Perhaps." "Are you In lore with him?" "I can't help It It 1 am, can I?" the ali. Flint shrugged bis shoulders. "That's a tough break (or me," he said. "II he hadn't been alou every thing might have been different" The two chairs were close to gether. Flint's hands rested on the arms of his. Ivy patted the band that was nearer to her. "Poor boy." she .aid, "I am sorry. I don't want to nurt anyone, but you'll get over It Yoa'tu lust a kid I am too old (or you, (or one thing." " Bowers returned, still whistling cheerfully. He tao a halt-ajass of water and live-grain Pyramldon tab let and he stood over Flint until t e disconsolate youth had i llowed the latter. At their backs was all that re mained o( a (antastlo sunset, and presently ;he first if' vlbnilons of the "Get Ready" gong began to sound. Sometimes when Ivy went below to shower Bowers had hlmselt doused with sea-water and did his dressing on deck. But tonlgM the shower appealed to him fud still more, '.be chance of a Lisa or two before dinner. "Olve me ten minutes," Ivy said, "and the shower Is yours." And she went below with Helen holding her by the hand and pranc ing at her slue. "She's a great girl," said Flint "That Isn't the ball of It" said Bowers, and he looked at his watch. "Circus lite must be awful hard sledding In this part of the world," said Flint ' . "She Is going to get out ' that," said Bowers. "I'd hate for anybody to give her a raw deal when I was around," said Flint Bowers shot a sldewlse glance at the speaker and thought how very serious and pompous the young can be. AVERAGED over the experience of many years, ths raini proper were not due for several weeks, but the i perlence of any lven year Is often Ailed with exceptions and the wea" er Is not controlled by the memories and statistics of scientific men. There was sometimes the prelude of ram with wind squalls which fol lowed b; weeks anu even months of placidity anticipated the real rains Captain Wong Bo's glass Indicated that there was getting to be more moisture n the atmosphere, than was right and proper at that season Tbe sunsets diminished In glory. The vast cumulus clouds which floated high and snow-hrlgUt with dove-colored and amethyst i hadows during tbe heat of the day, darkened toward evening and sank of their own weight to the horlson. Here tb formed a lofty pbanlu magorlo ring In which the Imagina tive eye could discover anything It sought In the way of landscapes, mountain runges, ar.d cities planned aud built by Titans. In the '.irectlon of the setting sun these conceptions were illuminated as It by volcanic and Internal nrsa. The ch: .1 showed that tne Boldero was nearlng the northe.n end of Borneo. To the starboard, accordln, to the chart but not according to tbe doup blue waters which hid It from view, a sunken reet stretched parallel with the coast of the main Island, and with tbe course ot the ship. f"r nearly hundred miles. It was somewhere along this reel thst Captain Wong Bo and his Junior partner Mr. Flint had planted their barratry. The time was at hand, and according to Wong Bo the sooner now the better. Flint held out for wrecking the ship by daylight but was overrules Wong Bo did not argue the matter. He simply asserted bis authority and ssld thst the night was "more belter."

Flint was thinking solely of ivy's comfort in the matter. To be wrecked by daylight In a smooth 'sea with competent boats at hand, and competent men to man them, and land of continental pro portions perhaps distantly In sight, should have no real terrors lor any one. It was not possible tor either Bowers or Ivy to know thr.i the ship had been wrecked on purpose. Tw- passengers occupied with tbe care ot the menagerie and engrossed In each other would never notice that the course ot the ship upon which they traveled had been altered a point or two. Both, as a matter of fact were ex traordinarily Ignorant ot seacratt They did not know that the weather was making up for premature rain. They did not know that the shred ot blue smoke ahead and on the starboard-bows was the smoke of a little volcano that bad once risen out of the sea with volcanic noises that were audible at the distance of a thousand miles and had subsided and through the ages with the help of erosion, climate and eea-born seeds, made a little Island tome tor Itself. If they gave the smoke a thought, they thought that It was thi smoke ot a far-off steamor. THE reet which paralleled the course ot the Boldero, not of course the superstructure of the coral-builders but the more solid vol canic substructure, bad perhaps risen from the ocean bottom In com pany with the volcano. It was not ot course, continuous. There were many breaks, deep and wide psssei through whicn several sblpj could have moved abreast, and a man who steered for It at a right angle might miss It altogther. But approached by a long diago nal which made a narrow angle ot the ship's course and the reef-structure Itself you were nound to score a bit Tbe Boldero was old, she would crack lUa an egg, and In addition the sea-cocks would be opened.

About live o'clock Ivy and Bowers could see tor themselves that the smoke on the starboard-bow did not come from the funnel of a steamer, but from a deep purple joue shaped like widely opened. Inverted fan. In this dlscovoo the passengers took only s passing Interest. If they bed takjn a little mor m'jre and asked a tew questions of Flint or Captain Wong Bo, tbey would have discovered that the volcano "ts part of a small Island which because ot Its shape (It seemed that i bad a body and four legs sod a head and even something like the stump of a tall) win clled Tlgor Island. And If they had learnei. this, they would In the Immediate future have been spared niucb toll and anxiety. To a vast height the western hort son below which the high peaks ol Borneo had sunk during the day'wai plied with huge fantastic I'ormatlons of black clouds.
