CHAPTER XXVL.

(Continued. )

He drauk copiously from the stream; put the carpenter’s basket in the cart; got the tow rope from the boat and fastened it to the cart, putting himself in the center. So now the coachmaker was the horse, and off they went, rattling and creaking, to the

Jungle.

elen turned her stool and watched this pageant enter the jungle.

She plaited away, but not so merrily. Hazel’s companionship and bustling way somehow kept her spirits up.

But whenever she was left alone she gazed on the blank ocean and her heart died within her. At last she strolled pen-

neck as she made it,

At the edge of the jungle she found Hazel in a difficulty. He had cut down a wagon load of prickly trees, and wanted %o get all this maas of nofi me fungere on that wretched little cart, but had not rope enough to keep it together; she gave him plenty of new line, and partly by fastening a small rope, and so making the big rope a receptacle, partly by artful tying, they |} dragged home an incredible lad. To be sure some of it dragved half along the ground, and came after like a peacock's tail.

He made six trips, and then the sun was low; so he began to build. He raised a rampart of these ae trees, a rampart three feet wide and eight feet high ; but it only went round two sides and a half of the bower. So then he said he had failed again, and lay down, worn by fatigue. Helen Rolleston, though dejected herself, could not help pitying him for his exhavs- tion in her service, and for his bleedin hands; she undertook the cooking, =

when he rose to go, she thanked him with asmuch feeling as modesty for the great pains he had taken to essen those fears of hers, which she saw he did not share. These kind words more than repaid him. He went to his little den‘in a glow of spirits; and the next morning went off in a violent hurry, and for once seemed glad to get away from her.

‘Poor Mr. Hagel,’ said she softly, and watched him out cf sight.

Then she got her plait, and went to the high point where he had barked a tree; and looked far and wide for a sail. The air was wonderfully clear; the whole ocean seemed in sight! but all was blank.

A great awe fell upon her, and sickness of heart; and then first she began to tear she was ont of the known world, and might die on that island; or, never be found by the present generation; and this sickening fear lurked in her from that hour, and led to consequences which will be related shortly.

She did not return for a long while, and when she did, she found Hazel had com- pleted her fortifieations. He invited her to explore the western part of the Island, but she declined.

‘Thank you,’ she said; ‘not to-day; there there is something to be done at home. I have been Gomparing my abode with yours, and the contrast makes me uncomfortable, if it doesn't you. ~Oblige me by building yourself a hovse.’

‘What, in an afternoen?’

‘Why not? You made a cart in a fore- noon. How can I tell your limits! Yon are quite out of my poor little depth. Well, at all events, you must roof the boat, or something. Come, be good for once, and think a little of yourself. There, I'll sit by and—what shal) | do whilst you are working to oblige me?’

‘Make a fishing-net of cocoanut fibre, four feet deep. Here's plenty of material all prepared.

‘Why, Mr. Hazel, you must work in your sleep!’

‘No; but of course I am not idle when I am alone; and luckily I have made a spade out of a hard wood at odd hours, or all the afternoon would go in making that.’

‘A spade! You ave going to dig a hole

will not do for me.’

‘You will see,’ said Hazel.

The boat lay in a little triangular creek; the surrounding earth was alluvial clay; 4 sort of black cheesy mold, stiff, but kindly to work with the spade. Hazel cut and chiselled it out at a grand rate, and throw- ing it to the sides, raised by degrees two mud banks, one on each side of the boat; and at last he dug so deep that he was enabled to draw the boat another yard inland.

As Helen sat by netting and forcing a smile, now and then, though sad at heart, he was on his mettle, rnd the mud walis he raised in four hours were really wonderful. He squared their inner sides with a spade. When he had done, the boat. lay in a hol- low, the walls of which. half natural, half artificial, were five feet above her guawale, and, of course, eight feet above her bottom, in which Hezel used to lie at night. He then made andéther little wall at the boat’s stern, and laid palm-branches over all, and a few huge banana-leaves from the jungle: got a dozen large stones ont of the river, tied four yards lengths of Helen's grass: rope from.stotie to stone, and 80, passing the ropes over the roof, confined it, other- wise a sudden gust of wind might lift it.

‘There.’ said he; ‘am I not as well off as yout—I. a great tough man. Abominable waste of time, I call it.’

‘Hum? said Helen, doubtfully. ‘All ‘this is very clever, but I doubt whether it) will keep out much rain.’

‘More than yours will,’ said Hazel, ‘and
