"TIGER, TIGERI"

He had simplified It somewhat
and tbere remained a twelve-toot
piece of coconut stem for wblcb
there was no logical place In the
new design and no real need.
"Where are you going to put that
piece?" Ivy asked.
The tiger lust beyond the line of
fire snarled at the sound of her
Tolce, and Bowers answered:
I am not going to put It any
where.
As he spoke he gave the big stick
a little push with his band so that
It would (all away from him and at
tbe same moment, or almost the
same moment, realized what
Idiotic thing be bad done and sprang
for the falling timber In a rain ef
fort to catch It and keep It from fall

The further end of tbe timber
grazed tbe nearest o the three trig

They talked well Into tho night.
Dowers was so proud or Ivy that he
couldn't stop telling her so and be
didn't.
Ivy herself was happier than she
bad ever been before. There Is noth
ing In the world so sweet as praise
that Is well desorved.
Usually they waked at dawn. Tbe
next morning, however, they over

to be out of danger, but not far
enough. His head was merely
grazed, but he fell aa helplessly as
one of his own logs and lay uncon
scious at Ivy's feet.
Durlnt tbe long siege Ivy had
seemed calm and untroubled, but
ber nervoua system bad been slow
ly going to pieces. Bho perceived at
once that Bowers waa not doad.
Instinct told ber immediately that
unless he came to quickly and waa
able to belp himself, there was noth
ing between him and death but ber
self and the clumsy one-abot gun.
Tbe barrier of lire which they Dad
made against the tiger was burning
low. Tbe way to Bowers over tbe
(alien timbers of the deadfall waa
simple and direct.
Her mental processes at tbe mo
ment were quick and cool. It the
tiger came to them It would be with
m rush. Better, she thought, for ber
to go to him while the fire still
flapped and rattled In the fresh
breeze from tho aea.
