While he was thus occupied, Miss Rolles- ton came from the Juogle rediant, carrying vegetable treasures ui her apron. produced some golden apples with reddish leavea

‘There,’ said she; ‘and they smell deli- cious.’

Hazel eyed them keenly.

‘You have not eaten any of them?’ ‘What! by myself ? said Belen.

‘Thank Heaven!’ said Hazel, turning pale. ‘hese are the manchanilla, the poison app e of the Pacific.’

‘Poison!’ said Helen, alarmed turn.

‘Well, I don’t know that they are poison, but travellers give them a very bad name, The birds never peck at them, and J have read even the leaves falliag into still water have killed the fish. You will not eat any-

thing here till you have shown it to me, /will you! said he, imploringly. | ‘No, no,’ said Helen, aud sat down with her hand to her heart a minute; ‘and | was 80 pleased when I found them,’ caid she; ‘they reminded me of home. 1 wonder whether these sre poison, too!’ and she opened her apron wide, and showed him some long yellow pods, with red specks, something

He cleared the now heated hearth, put the meat and fruit on it, then placed his great platter over it, ana heaped fire round

Whilst this was going on Helen took him to her bower, and showed him three rusty iron hoops and a piece of rotten wood with arusty nail, and the marks where others had been.

‘There.’ said she; ‘this is all I could find.’

‘Why, it is a treasure!’ cried he; ‘you will see. | have found something, too.’

He then showed her the vegetable wool and the vegetable hair he had collected, and told her where they grew. She owned they were wonderful imitations, and would do as wel! as the real things; andere they had done comparing notes, the platter and the dinner under it were both baked, Hazel removed the platter or milk-pan, and |served the dinner in it.

If Hazel was inventive, Helen was skilful and quick at any kind of woman's work; and the following is the result of the three weeks’ work, under his direction. She had made as follows:

1, Thick mattress, stufied with the vege- table hair and wool as described above, The mattress was only two feet six inches wide, for Helen found that she never turned in bed now. She slept as she had never slept before. plantain leayes sewed together with the thread furnished by the tree itself, and doubled at the edges.

shoot growing out of it, which shoot, being shortened, served forthehandle. By these arts he at last sawagoal to his labors, Animal food, oil, pitch, ink, paper, were still wanting; but fish were abundant, and plantains and coc.annts stored, Above all, Helen's hut was now weather-tight. Stont horizontal bars were let into the trees, end being bonnd to the npriyhts, they matusdly supported each other; smaller horizontal bars at intervals kept the prickly ramparts from beimy driven in by a sudden gost. The canvas walle were removed, and the nails stored in a pigeor-hole, and a stout network substituted, to which huge plain- tain leaves were cunningly fastened with plantain thread, The roof was double; first, that extraordinary mass of spiked leaves which the four treea threw out, then several feet under that the hnoye pieces of matting the pair had made, This wes strengthened by double strips of canvas at the edges and in the centre, and by single strips in other parts. A great many cords and strings made of that wonderfal grass were sewn to the canvas-strengthened edges, and so it was fastened to the trees, and fastened to the horiz ntal bare.

When this work drew close to its com- pletion, Hazel could not disguise his satis- faction.

But he very soon had the mortification of seeing that she for whom it was ali done did not share his complacency.
