4 k By Louis Bec&e NDAI.I, AYESSE, the tia.L r on Manga I Heva island, caiiic to his door and looked I nut Upon the broad lagoon at Uu Sadie Re JL W I v,'re mling In through the passage between the lines of roaring surf. Mr- w in a hand some, sunburned, and giavr faced man of ntH.ut years of nice, with .l-rp net, kindly gray eyes that, however, could yet bonime hard and stern when occasion demanded, and In Manna Reva In those days death ran side by side with the dally llf of the while trader, and many a (lavage native had learned to Ida rout that "Randall the Silent," an he wan railed, was not a man to be threatened or Imposed upon. Yet from our end of the Pnumntu archipelago to the uthrr there ;i no white m.in so rcspictod an lie. I'nllko all the oilier Kuropean tradi rs and pearl divers, he had not married a native wife, cv. n tin. ugh Minea. the handsome daughter of Rao, the chief 01 Manga Reva, made no secret of her admiration for the well fivond, inlet spoken trader, and Minea was n gnat match, for Rao was a wealthy man, owned a fleet of pearling lugg. rs, built for him In New Zealand, and every year sold tnary thousands of pounds' worth of pearls and pearl shells to the French trading ships from Tahiti, o- to Ayesse him self. Rut neither to the fair skinned Muiea nor to auv other of the many beautiful utiinurricl Kut of M .intra Reva would the iiilct trader vouchsafe sr much as a Klance. During the three years he had Inn living on the island his life had been In marked contrast to that of most while men-loose living or license of any sort was not only abhorrent hut Impossible to him. Once nt the Cafe 1 alais In Tapeite town (Tahitli lie had been " chaffed " by a number of fellow traders, who ask-d him IT he was qualifying for a missionary. He stood It quietly and good huinoredly, for he was used to their rough witticisms, and Knew that no a(Tront was intended, but when one Charley Rous, a big American pearl shelb r, who had taken more Honor than was good for him. In sinuated that he was n hypocrite, hl.i manner chang. d, and he abruptly asked Rous what he meant. " Take It any way you like," was the answer. " and don't put on any of your high and mighty Hrlttnh style with me, or you'll run up ngln suthln' that you won't like." Tlu re was a dead silence, ns Ayesse rose slowly from his chair, and Rous' hand went quickly to Ills hip pocket, hut It was seized by another trader. " Nn. no, none nf that, Rous." he cried, " it's a dirty trick to draw on a man you well know never carries a pls tel when he's in a town, and among white men" Ayesse looki d at him with eyes aflame, but not a word came from his lips as he beckoned to Rous to come out side to the courtyard. In an Instant the cafe was alive with subdued excitement, as the group of traders went Into the courtyard, and formed a ring round the two men Half an hour later, Rous was under the care of two French military doctors, who told him that he would be able to leave the hospital In about ten days; and Ayesse went quietly to his room, changed his clothes, returned to the other traders, played a game or two of billiards, and said nothing about the encounter beyond remarking that It wns time Rous had a lesson. As he watched the Sadie Revere entering the lagoon. Manuel, his head boatninn. a stalwart Manga-Revan, came up. "The boat Is ready, master." Ayesse nodded, and. putting nn his wide brlmmel panama hnt, walked down to the beach, stepped Into his whalelKiat, and, taking the steer oar, bade the crew give way. A quarter of an hour later he was alongside the schooner Just as It swung to Its anchor. Thrusby, the supercargo, was In the main cabin, readv to go on shore when the trader descended; the two men shook hand warmly. " How are you, Ayesse? Everything going on all right at Manga Reva?" "Everything. And you?" " t). I'm A1. We had a glorious run down from Auck landten days, I've letters for you," and Throsby took a packet from his pocket and gave it to the trader, who smiled slightly, as he slipped It Into his own. " I saw Miss Shannon only a fortnight ago," said Throsby, a tall, stout m.-yi with Jewish features, and bold black eyes, as he pushed a box of cigars across the table to Ayesse, and called to the steward to bring them some thing to drink; "she's looking simply splendid. By Jove, old man, I envy you your future wife. She and the three Miss Fallons fire called ' the four beauties of Auckland. ' " Ayesse again smiled and nodded in his unlet way, and Just then the captain came below. " Hello, Ayesse! How are you? Going on shore with Throsby?" " Yes. as poon as he Is ready. Won't you come, too? My boat Is alongside, and we'll have dinner at 0. Roast pigeons, captain. I know you can't say ' no.' " " No, 1 can't. Hut we have half a dozen boatloads of trade goods and stores to land for you." " Tomorrow will do. There Is no other trader on Manga Reva to worry me. so the natives never try to rush me Into opening my new trade the moment the cases are landed by threatening to sell their pearl shell to another man." ThriiHby laughed. "That's the only way, Ayesse. Never glvu In to u native. I never do." "No," put in the captain, sarcastically, "you never do not even when you know you're In the wrong. And you're too quick with your hands when you lose your temier. Some of these days you'll, get a knife Into you." The supercargo squared his great shoulders and laughed contemptuously. lie was inordinately proud of his abilities as a lighting man, and fond of displaying them upon the slightest pretext. .. . . , n , , Six months before there hud been a "difference" bc iween the supercargo and Randall Ayesse, and their friendship of two years was all hut severed. Throsby had in a hurst of ill temper struck Manuel. " Don't strike a man of mine, Throsby," said Ayesse, "or you will never put foot In my house again. Manuel Is a native, but because h" Is one, don't Imagine that you can hit him. You are too fond of that sort uf thing. If there la any knocking out lo be done on this station, I can do It I won't have you or anyone els interfering with my peo ple. You don't understand the language, though you think you do, and you not Manuel were In fault." Throsby's black eyes gleamed, and he took a step for ward towards his friend then he stopped and held out his hand with a smile, apologized, and said that he should be sorry to lose Ayesse's friendship over a native. But from that moment he hated him. Still, in his treacherous heart, he meant what he said that he would be sorry to lose his friendship. For the un bounded confidence which the trader had placed in him was particularly valuable to him. nml the younsj. r mm little dreamed that under Throoby's bluff manner there lay the deepest, blackest treachery. For two years Throsby and Ma Shannon the woman who Ayesse believed loved him hnd been systomaticai'y robbing him. When he hid sailed from Auckland for the Paumotu archipelago to engage in trading and pearl shell ing he had said to her ns he bade her good -by: " I won't come hark to you, Ida. for three years. I know of a lagoon In the Piumotns where I believe I can make a small for tune in that time. There are beds of golden edged pearl shell there of which no one bu myself knows, and If I have any luck at all. I ought to be worth $."iH,uoo In three years- perhaps two. You see, dearest, besides the pearls and pearl shell I shall have a trading stntlon as well, and that will bring me In at least fU.POti a year. Hut the pearl ing business is the thing for making money. And when I have $.-i).untl I think It will be time for us to be married, mill I'll give up the south seas. I've spent fifteen years there, and, although I love the lift, I love you best, and the place will see me no mire when t have that $."o.ouo. And Ida Shannon's deep bine. 1 mg lashed lrlh eyes were filled with tears when she said farewell. She reallv believed she loved him, ho: did not know h. is. If did i'."t know that she was as unstable as water, and as fickle an the wind. Her mother, un utterly selfish pleasure loving woman, who hnd ruined her di ad husband through her wild extravagance, was the last person In the world on whom the upbringing of a girl with the temperament nf Ida Shannon should have devolved. Without an atom of Inculcated principle to guide her, and with a shallow brained, frivolous mother whose one thought was dress and goyety, and .whose most serious effort In life was the evasion of her debts, It is no wonder that Ida. at 2.1 years of age, was, in a sense, no better than her parent. Hut Randall Ayesse lovisl her passionately. He knew nothing aliout women. His wandering life for over twenty years had left him in many essential things as unsophis ticated as a lad of 1.". Mrs. Shannon he believed to be a generous hearted impulsive woman, devoted tit her daugh ter and a model mother In every way. He was proud to lend her money when she one day told him she was pressed lor want of It. And when he told her he loved her daugh ter, she had cried and said It would be hurd to part from her darling Ida, and that she would retire into some relig ious sisterhood to end her days after the marriage. He be lieved her. for she had the art of speaking brokenly, amid suppressed sobs. Throsby was his friend. It was through him that he met Mrs. Shannon and her daughter, and thai always made him feel grateful to the handsome, burly sup. r ciirgo. He never dreamed that Ida Shannon and the man who professed to be his friend were lovers. In the hands of un unscrupulous, strong willed man like Throsby, Ida Shannon was as wax In the hand of th molder. Whatever real affection she had In her nature was given to Ayesse, but she was too pliant to. and too terrified of Throsby to halt in the path of deceit. Her mother's influence, too, was as fatal as Throsby's. ' Within two years after he had landed at Mhiirii Reva. Randall had made If tll.noo principally out of pearl she! and pearls. During this time the Sadie Revere had made five voyages between the Islands and Auckland, mil Ayesse had Intrusted his friend Throsby with the disposal of the pearl shell, but the pearls, which were worth Jla.ooO locally, he sent to Ida (also by Throsby). " Keep them till I return, dearest," he wrote; " when we are married we will tuke them to Europe, where tin y will bring us double the price we could get for them any where In Australasia." Throsby always sold the pearl shell for him advantage ously, and at his (Ayesse's request) placed the money t. the account of Ida Shannon in an Auckland hank. " You See, Throsby, old man," he said one day, " I have not a single relative In the wide world, lurid I may die or he killed any day, and as I have made no will. Ida and her mother will be all light, and there will be no beastly Inter ference by the curator of Intestate estates, or any other legal shark. And Its awfully good of you. old man, to do all this work for tne. Hut another year or two at this game will give me all the money I want In fact, the place will be worked out as far as pearl shell goes in unother ten or twelve months." " That Is the longest speech ' Randall the Silent ' ever made,'' said Throsby with his hearty laugh, as he slapped Ayesse on the shoulder. " Hy Jove, Ayesse, you are a good fellow. Mrs. Shannon told me that you lent her some money three year, ago, and that she has not repaid you yet" Ayesse, knowing that Throsby was an old friend ft Mrs. Shannon and her daughter, did not resent Throsby tilling him this, and merely muttered something nlHiut his having no use for the money, etc After dinner the three men Revere (the skipper ot the Sadie Revere), Throsby, and Ayesse sat cm the ve randa of the house, which stood In u grove of orange and lime trees, encompassed by a forest of grneeful coco palms. Before them lay the sleeping lagoon, shining bright under myriad stars. " I'll have a stroll through the village, 1 think," said Throsby, as he lit a fresh cigar. " It will help to digest the three pigeons 1 have eaten." Ayesse nodded a smiling approval. Capt. Revere a little, gray headed niiin of tut, said nothing as he puffed at Ills pipe. Then, as soon as Throsby had disappeared, he turned to his host and placed his hand on Randall's knee. "Randall, I've known you for ten years-ever since we first met In FIJI. And you Know nn, don't you, my lad.' And you know me to be a straight man a man who would not do a dirty trick i veil to a nigger?" " I know you to be Tom Revere, and every one knows Tom Revere as ono of the straightcst nun that ever trod u deck." " Thunk you, my lad," and the old sailor's eyes glistened, and then lbying down his pipe, he looked into Ayesse's steady gia. i yes. " Randall, my lad, I am going to tell you something that will hurt you something that perhaps I should not tell you It I were like most men. ' But I think 1 ought to toll you. for poor Sadie" (lie spoke of the dead 'laugh ter after whom Ids ship was nainedi "loved you, although oii never knew II. And It's a boriilue, cursed thing to tell you but now that that scoundrel has gone " " Throsby?" " Yes. Throsby he's a scoundrel and a traitor, and I will tell him so in front of you when he comes back he nlly spoken to him on the voyage you letters from Miss Shannon, did n Miss Shannon?" seen her u fortnight If you wish. I hav down He brought lie not'.'" " Yes." " DUl he tell you that be had se " lr, he told mo that he had ii go. Revere sprang up lioin his chair. "The sweep! The villain! Randall, he and Miss Shannon hive been 'meeting day afurday for two years past whenivir the Sadie was in port. And when she cuue on boaid the .schooner to give her lettirs to you to Throsby, 1 saw Throsby lake her in his arms and kiss her. I was in my cabin at the time, and saw it all." Ayesse, with agony at his beam, flipped oft the ash from his cigar. " You an quite certain. Revere?" " Dead certain. The steward will bear me out. He k'AfiKfiMMfiJlMMiaiMflAflfi! W W p 9 e 9 w w w 5 1 1 . 1 1 tin m talking. . . . And. Kuu.la!!. my lad. you'll bad now for wh.it 1 am saying." " No, Revere," and Ayesse put oui his hand. " I am a niin " " Well, Miss Shannon and Throsby spoke 111 French, alii my steward, who is a Martinique nigger, heard them. and told me what III v said. . . . Ram. all. my boy " "tin on. Revere, lin not a child." " Well they spoke of the time wh'Mt they would get your last consignment of p. ails ami pear! shell. Throsby, who seems to do all your banking business, said that you could work on ' for another year or so.' Then he and Miss Shannon could skip to Eim.pe. " "'Skip lo Europe! Just so, Capt. Revere,' said Ayesse quietly. " ' Skip to Europe.' Well, I'm much obliged to you for the Information y.ui have given me. Dead certain about it?" "Yes, u i y wife could tell you more than I know about Miss Shannon and Throsby. She has seen them together time alter time." "My fault." said Avesse gravely. ' I had no business to stay away from her so long. I think 1 had best gel to Auckland as soon us I can." "Decidedly 1 should. Hut the Sadie has only Just be gun Its cruise, and we shall not be in Auckland lor live mouths yet." Ayesse, who seemed burled In thought, nodded " 1 know that. The cutter will do me. I'll take Manuel." " It s a long voyage for a five ton cut ter 'J,.r.ou miles " " We'll do It easily. I ll wait until the schooner leaves, then I'll start. Don't let Throshy know of It." "Of course not. I'll be glad to we the scoundrel brought to book and I'm sorry that the girl " " O, don't worry over inc. captain. I'm not made of Jelly and will get over the mutter all right. Now let us talk about something else." Two months later when the Sadie Revere returned to Manga Reva, Ayesse's station was shut up and the natives told the captain and Throsby that he had gone to Tahiti in the cutter and would he away a month. Throsby curscd'him beneath his breath for he had count ed upon getting at least another if.VHio worth of pearls from him. "I suppose he has left the keys of the HheUhnuse with you, Rao?" he said blandly to the chief. "Yes," replied the chief quietly in English, "but there is no pearl shell In it. He loaded the cutter with It to sell at Tahiti." Again Throsby cursed Ayesse, and old Revere was delighted to witness the expression on the traitor's face. "Queer of him to act like this. Isn't it?" said the supercargo. "If he had left the shell fot me, I could get him fill per cent more for It in Auckland than he'll sell It for in Tahiti." Hut the cutter never reached Its destination, and when five months later the Sadie Revere arrived at Auckland and Capt. Rvere found that It was missing, the white haired old skipper shed tears for his friend. A week later he came home one afternoon, his florid face white with rage. tsssssssssss " What is It. Tom?" asked his wife. "Throsby and .Miss Shannon were married yesterday, and left this morning for San Francisco in the Zealandla. The villain! The manager of the bank told me that a few days ago Ida Shannon and her mother came to him and drew out every penny that was to her credit nearly sjo.ihiii. The Shannons and Throsby between them have stolen over . l i. m m of a dead man's money. May heaven's curse rest uu them." A new supercargo t ok Throsby's p'ace, and one even ing as he was dining Willi Revere and bis wife, a knock came lo the door, and "the dead man " walked In. " I'm not a ghost, Mrs. Revere," lie said as lie shook builds. " Wo lost the cutler one night on Tiibual island, had to stay there for foul months. Then the Dauntless came along and gave us passage to Auckland. We only came in un hour ago, and I came straight to you." He spoke In his old. quiet, unmoved niannei. Revere took him aside and told him about Throsby. lie listened in silence. " It can t be helped." was all he said. " I must start afresh. Will you lend mo ifl.oon?" " Five. If you like, my dear lad." "No, .fl.ntHi will do. Anil 1 11 be glad If you will take M anuel bm k to Mamta Reva with you and put him In charge of my place." "And you'.''' cried the old man In dismay,- "aren't you coming, too?" " No. not wilh you. bin you will see me there some time within twelve months. I'll have a cruise about on your money before I settle down to work again." Revere there and Hull drew i check, and Ayesse bade him and his wife good-night, and went quietly away. The next morning he was on Ids way lo Sydney to catch a J', and O. steamer for London. lie knew he should tind Throshy : nd his wife In Paris, for Ida Shan non's one engrossing thought had been to live In the ay city. In less than a year the Sadie Revere came to an anchor In Manga Reva lugoon for the third lime since Ayesse had s :ied with Manuel In (he cutter, und again Ayesse hi noil in his doorway, watching. " Well, here I am again, captain," he said, when Revere came on shore. " How Is Mra Revere?" i n.' old mall wrung Ills hand again and again In sheer ib light.

" She Is what she Is. t'oine, old friend.'! and ho drew, the eap'alii of the Sadie Revere to a side table, "lure Is a maiMium of the Widow ('llquol which I brought all the way from l'arls to drink here with you." essssssssssssssssssssess Practical Joints or tie SBust Oousek cAlthougk X hktili'd chef need not be employed or cuetly and rare vUnds provided to make nn i nterlainmcnt successful, it la uee.ssary for the proper conduct of stum an affair that he who Is at the helm should understand her business thoroughly, to she may tactfully and gracefully fill the obligations of In r position and correctly train her servants so that, however modest her entertainments may be, they will bear the stamp of n tlue nient. and the food or service be the best of its kind.
