girl. Deo. who woe chip wrecked ten
peart before. In her strange lavage
way. Dea falls la love with Johnny
who at tempts to eeeape but is

ihtmpantce Koko.
CHAPTER VII
JOHNNY had no idea ot the where-
J about* on the Island of Joe and
the crew of the snbmaiine but be
strode forward purposefully never-
theless. He had traveled only a few
score yards, however, before a heavy
body hurled Itself upon him tn a
football-like tackle and Johnny
found himself looking up Into the
grinning, chattering face of Koko.
“Hey! Lay off/* Johnny walled.
**Koko and I do it all the time."
*1 spent a summer In Vermont
once, when I was a kid." Johnny
went on. “We’d fish at night for
trout All yon bad tc do was drop In
your hook and out they came." He
was silent for a moment “Oee. that
was a long time ago.” he added wist-
fully. **A fellow had plans then."
They both stared Into the Are In
silence. Dea broke It
"Johnny, there's one thing I don't
understand.*' Johnny looked at her.
“Why did you leave the Navy?"
Johnny's eyes were somber. "1
lost a book—a little book ao bigger
than your hand. But It was a code
book. Dea. You know what that
meaner Grimly he quoted the words
he could not forget: ** 'Gross negli-
gence In the line of duty*—that’s
what the court martial said."
"You must have loved the Navy
an awful lot," Dea said softly.
Johnny stared at her In surprise. "You’re a funny kid. You really know
what gees on Inside a person, don't your

Prom the corner ot his eye he saw
Dan approaching.
"Yon stay here, eh. Johnny r she
"Don. can't yon understand T rve
got to get back to my friends." V
"Pop always said that it n man
coaid stop drinking for ninety-six
Honrs he eras cared."
"Year Pop was kidding. Dea; Jast
kidding yon."
"Pop never Ued. You’ll see what
will happen—In four days."
"In other words. I’m a prisoner,
nhr
Don shrugged. "Wait until you*ve
given It a triaL*
That evening. In the flickering
tight of the pale moon, Dea took
Johnny fish spearing. Together,
aimed with long spear-poles, they
searched the shallow pools among
•the rocks. Dea taught Johnny how
to stalk and spear the big fellows.
‘ later they sat around a Are which
Koko tended and broiled and ate the
IPs a long time since I did this,"
Johnny said In a reminiscent mood.
Johnny looked at her. "How i
yon figure thatT*’
"Pop only started drinking after
Uom died. He eoaldn't find anything
ise to take her place either."
Johnny Stared at her In surprise.
"You’re a funny kid. You really
know what goes on Inside a person,
don’t youf"
Den’s voice changed. “Johnny,
your friends are building a sail boat
Soon they will go away."
Why, they will leave without me.
Take me to them now.” He arose
but Dea halted him.
"Johnny, wait. Let them go. You
stay here."
"Are you crazy. 1 can’t do that."
"Please, Johnny. 1 didn't know
bow lonely I was until you came.'
Johnny looked sharply at the girl.
“Who said anything about leaving
you? You’ll go right along with us.'
"And we’ll still be together?"
Dea’s voice was eager.
Johnny dodged the direct Issue.
"Ob. you’ll find plenty of other play
mates."
"But I like you, Johnny." she said

with simple directness. After a mo-
ment of silence she added. "1 think
we better stay here."
8he dropped her head on his
shoulder and snuggled cloee to him.
for a moment her nearness and
loveliness held Johnny spellbound.
Then he genUy pushed her away and
got to his feet She looked up at him
la hart bewilderment.
"What’s the matter? Don’t yon
like me. Johnny?"
Johnny stared down at her, grop-
ing mentally for a way to end this
embarrassing situation.
"Yeah—yeah, sura 1 like yon." he
mumbled. "Ah. what's the nee,” he
mattered in despair. "Yon wouldn't
understand." He tamed quickly and
stumbled away Into the Jungle.
Dea started to follow him and
then stopped herself. Slowly the
tears welled ap la her eyes. It
seemed a long time later when she
found her way back to the house la
the tree-tops. Johnny was not there.
8he was still crying softly when she
fell asleep.
For a long time Johnny tramped
through the moon-lit Jungle. When
at last be halted to rest, a dark fig-
ure silently ambled oat of the shad-
ows and Joined him. Koko was stm
on the Job!
Johnny shrugged hopelessly. At
last be tried talking to the chimp.
Don’t you see. Koko? This set-op's
no good for Dea." he explained.
Koko stared at him. Johnny went
on. "You’re Just a dumb animal and
can’t understand. But pretty soon
rm going to kick off—I’m going to
die. A doctor in Malnlu told me. And
then she would be worse off than
ever." Johnny got to his feet. "Let
me go back to the beach, Koko.
When we’re ready to sail. Ill come
back and get her—and yon, too," •
Johnny extended his hand to the
chimp. The animal stared for a mo-
ment and then slowly extended her
own paw. The two shook hands
gravely and Koko turned and led
the way Into the Jungle. Jofcnny fol-
lowed.
Dawn was In the east when Koko
cautiously led the way to a clump
of roeks overlooking the beach and
theses. As Johnny Joined the chimp,
the flickering lights of campfires
could bo seen along the shore. /
Once again the strangely assorted
pair shook hands. "Thanks, pat"
Johnny said. "I can make It by my-
self." Then Johnny dropped to the
beach and strode toward the
fires.
Koko turned back Into the Jungle.
Half-way to the tree-hut the chimp
was met by a very worried Dea.
"Johnny? Where's Johnny?" she de-
manded.
Koko hid her in her arms. “Where
Is he? Where did you leave him?"
Dea Insisted.
Koko squealed and chattered.
"Yon took him back to the beach?
What did you do that for?** Dea was
furious. "Now maybe well never get
him back again."
She turned and started swiftly for
the beach where Joe and his men
were encamped.
