Mali explained thoir ineaiiini; with ready interpretation. ".No cry too milch, them sitv," she ob served, nodding her hi ad surely. "Not Hood for Missy ineenio to cry too much.

Thero was genuine, jriaid nature in the. way t hey consoled her: and Folix was touched by the tenderness of those savage heart!, but tho additional explanation, t'ivon him in 1'olynesian by his own Shadow, tended ttomewhat to detract from the disinterestedness of their sympathy.

' " liy tliis time the littlo bride had roused heiseli from her stumir, and, wailing away as if nothing had hap pened, said a few words in a very low voice to I'd x s Shadow. Tho Shadow turned most ron ectfnlly to his master, arid, toiichiti,' his sleeuvlink, which was of bright (.'old, said, in a very doubtful voice, "She asks you, oh. klnif, will you allow her, just for to-day, to wear this ornament''' Felix unbuttoned tho shining bau bie nt on: e. and was about to hand it to the bride with polito tfallantrv.

He must not lay his linger on her: that would bo unlucky. Hut he may hand it by his Shallow." Then ho turned to his fellow tradesmen. "These (,'ods," he said, in un e planatory voice, like one iH.'spealiiit! forgiveness, "though they are di . nie and Koronif and very powerful bee. they ha. e come from the sun, and they are but stt angers in liouparl they do not yet know tho wavs of our island.

Heboid, he gives tier this divine shining ornament from the sun us a present!" And, taking it in his hand, ho held it up for a mo ment to pcblic admiration. Then he passed on tho trinket ostentatiously to tho bride, who, smiling and delighted, hung it low on her breast among her other decorations.

In tho center of the hills, "vV'hat does It mean that they say?" he came suddenly upon a hut with a Muriel uskod at last, perceiving it was cleared spaco around it, somewhat all one phras'i, many times repeated, neater In appearance than any of the Felix was altont to give some evasive native cottages ho had yet anon, and explanation whon Mall interposed with surroundod bv a broad, white belt of her simple, unthinking translation, coral sand, exactly like that which "J horn say Missy guoeno very good ringed round and protected their own and kind.

L urt ing it out, "Korong must" Felix clapped his hand to her n outh in wild haste, and silenced her. He knew trie worst now. Ho had divined the truth. Hut M uriel, at least, must be spared that knowledge. CHAPTER IX. BOWINli THE WIND. Vaguely and Indefinitely one terrible truth had lieen forced by blow degrees upon Felix's mind: whatever else Ko rong meant, it implied at least some fearful doom in store, sooner or later, for the persons who Isire it. How aw ful that doom might lie. he could hardly imagine but he must devote himself henceforth to tho task of discovering what its nature was and, if possible, of averting it. Yet how to reconcile this impending terror with the other obvious facts of the situation'!' the tact th.it they were considered divine beings and treated like gods; and the fact that the whole population seemed really to regard them with a devotion and kindliness clo-ely bor tiering on religious rever ence.' If Korongs were go Is, why should the people want to kill them If they me mt to kill them, why pay them meanwhile such resooct and af fection (me point at least was now, however, quite clear to Folix. While the na tives, especially the women, displayed toward both of them in their personal a-peet a sort of regretful sympathy, ho could not he p noli ing at the same time that tho men, at any rate, re garded them also largely in an im pornona' lignt, as a sort of generalized abstraction of the (tower of nature an embodied form of the rain an 1 the weather. The inlanders were anxious to keep their white guests well suii plied, well fed, and in perfect health, not so much for tho strangers' sakes as for thoir own advantage; they evi dently i onsidered that if anything went wrong with either of their two new gods. corresKtn ling misfortunes might happen to their crops and tho produce of their breadfruit groves. Some mysterious sympathy was held to subdst between tho persons of tho ca-taways and the state of the weather. The natives effusively th.i'iked them after welcome rain, and looked ask ance at them, scowling, alter long dry spell. It was for this, no doubt, that they took such pains to provide them with attentive Shadows, and to gird round their movements with taboos of excessive stringency. Nothing that the new-comers said or did whs indif ferent, it seemed, to tno welfare of the community; plenty and prospe -ity de pended iijion the pa-sing staleof Muri el s heait h.und famine or drought migi.t ho brought about at any moment by tho slightest Imprudence in l elix's diet. Mow stringent t heso taboos: really 1 were Felix learned by slow degree alone to realize. I nun he. very be ginning he had observed, to be sure, that they might only eat and drink the food provided for them thatthevw. ro supplied with a clean and fee . h-built hut, as well as with brand-new co oa ti nt cups spoons, and platters: that no litter of any sort was allowed to a. -cumulate pnr their enclosure: and that, their .v.udows never left them or went out of their sight, by day or by night, for a single moment. Now, however, ho began to perceive also that the Shadows were thero for that very punt ise, to watch over them, as it were, like guards, on behall of tho community: to see that they ate or d unk no tabooed o't'ect; to keep them from heedlessly transgressing any un written law of the ere. d of Houpari: and to be answerable for their good behavior generally. They were partly servants, it was true, and partly sure ties: but they were partly also keep ers, and keepers who kept a close and constant watch upon the persons of their prisoners. On2o or twice Felix, growing tired for tho moment of this continual survellance, had tried to give Toko tho sliu, and to stroll away from his hut. for a walk through tho island, in the early morning before his Shadow had waked: but on each such occasion ho found to his surprise that, as he opened the hut door, the Shadow lose at once and confronted him an grily, with an inquiring eye: and in time he perceived that a thin s'ring was fastened to the liottom of the door, t io other end of which was tied to the Shadow's anklo' and this string cou.d not be cut without lotting fall a sort of latch or bar which closed tho doorout- sJ4e, oaly V-o beaisod again by some external person. U Clearly it was Intendod that the Kor- 0ng shoulu have no chiinco of escape without the knowledge of the Shadow, who, as Felix a torward learned, would ha', e paid with his own body by a cruel doath for the Korong'a disappearance. Ho might as well have tried to es- caed his own shadow as to escape the ono tho islanders had tacked on to him. All Felix's energies were now de voted to the arduous task of dis over ing what Korong really meant, and what possibility ho miglit have ol sav ing Muriel from tho mysterious lato thatsoemed to bo held lnstore for thorn. One evening, alntut f ix weeks after their arrival in t he Is'and. the young F.nglishinari wiis strolling bv himself after the sun sank low in heaven i along a pretty tangled hillside path, overhung with lionas and ropo-Iike tropical creepers, while his faithful Shadow lingered a step or two behind, keoping a sharp loosout meanwhile on of his Polynesian, turning round in sur prise to his resjwctf ul .-hJow. The Shadow waved his hand vaguely In an expansive way toward the sky, ao he answered, with a certain air of awe, often observable in his speech wheu taboos were in question: "The King of Birds. A very great god. Jle speaks the bird languae." "Who is he?" Felix inquirea, taken aback, wondering vaguly to himself whether here, perchance, he might have lighted upon some stray and ship wrecked com; atriot. "He cornea from the sun like your aelves.'' the Shadow answered, all deference, but with obvious reserve, "fie is a very great god. 1 may no', speak much of him. Hut he is not Korong. He is greater tKn b '. M less. He is Tula, the sain- .. - -Kila." "is he as powerful as Tu-Kila-Kila?" Felix asked, with intense interest. "Oh, no. he' not nearly so powerful as that,' the Shadow answered, half terrified at the Itare suggestion. "No god in heaven orearth is like Tu-K.l i Kila. This one is only king of the birds, which is a little province, while Tu-Kila Kila is king of heaven and earth, of plants and animals, of god-i and men. of all things created. At h s nod the sky shas. s and the rocks tremble. Hut still, this god is Tula, like Tti-Kila-Kilu. He is not for a year. He goes on forever, till some other supplants him." "You say he comes from the sun," Felix put in, devoured with curiosity. "And he speaks the bird language':1 Yhat do you mean by that? Does he spear- like the tjuceii of the Clouds and my-eif when we ta k togot her.-''' "Oh. dear, no." the Shadow an swere I. in a very conlident tone. "Ho doesn't spea tho least bit in the world like that. He ejtoaks shriller and higher, and still more bird-like. It is chatter, chatter, chatter, like the par rots in a tree: tirra. tirra tarra tana; la, la. la: lo, lo, Io: lu. In, lu; 1 i la.. And he sings to himself all tho time. Ho sings this way " Au.l then the Shadow, with that wonderful power of accurate mimicry which is so strong in all natural h.im:iu beings, began to trill out at once, with a very good 1'ai isian a cut, a few lines from a well-known song in "ii Fille du .Madame Angot: ' yuaad on ucniMp; ro, stu tnd MtiiiK I. ujuuf On pent ao di-ru Coi.Kp itt'oiir. Four to.. t, J., uion-do 11 taut a.oir IVrruiiiu tlon-du Kt collut n tir rrrupie ulon-de Kl loiioi nolr." "That's how tho King of tho Birpi sings," the Shadow said, as he finished, tin owing buck his head, and laughing with all hismight at hisown imitation. "So funny, isn't it.' It's exactly like the song of the pink-eresied parrot." "Why, Toko, it's French,'' Felix ex claimed, using the Fi ian word tor a Frenchman, which the Shadow, of course, on his remote island, had never betore heard. "How on earth did he come here?" "I can t toll you," Toko answered, waving his arms seaward. "He came from the sun, like yourselves. Hut not in a siin-lto.it It had no fire. Ho came in a canco, all by Himself. And .vlali says" hero the Shadow lowered h:s voice to u most mysterious whisper "he's a man a-oui on i. " Felix quivered w.th excitement. "Mati-a-oui-oui" is the univer-al name over semi-civilized Polynesia for a Frenchman. Felix sei ed upon it with avidity. "A man-a-oui-qiil." he cried, delighted. "How strange! How won derful! I must go in at onco to his hut and see him '' lie had lifted his foot and was just going to cross the white line of coral sand, when his Shadow catching him suddenly and stoutlv round the waist, pulled him back from the inclosiiro with every sign of horror, alarm, and an I astonishment "No, you can't go," he cried, grappling with him with all his force, yet using him very ten derly for all that, us becomes a god. "Taboo! Tattoo there!'' "Hut I am a god myself." Folix cried, insisting upon his privileges. If you have to submit to the disadvantages of taboo, you may as well claim its ad vantages as well. "The King of Firo and the King of Wat.'T crossed my ta boo line. Why shouldn't I cross e .ually tho King of the Birds', then. " "So you might as ii rule," th ) Shadow answered with promptitude. "You are both gods. Vour taboos do not cross. You may visit each other. You may transgress one another's lines without danger of falling dead on the ground as common men would do if they broke taboo-lines. Hut tliisis the Moiith of Birds. The King is in re treat. No man may see him oxce;t his own Shadow, the Little Cockatoo, who brings bim his fool and drink. Do you seo that hawks head, stuck upon tho post by the door at the side. That is his Special Tattoo. Ho keeps it for this month. Even godB must re spect that sign, for a reason which it would be very bad medicino to men tion. While the Month of Birds lasts, no man may look upon tho King or hoar him. If they did, they would dio, and the carrion birds would eat them Come away. This is dangerous." TO UK CONTINUED. l' Martha Washington.

A voiing man of a practical turn of mind and living on a salary of eighteen dollars a week w,.s curious to know whether or not he could afford to as Bume the possibilities of a family. In his own language, says the Philadel phia Press, lie thus tells how he satis lied his curiosity: "I told my sister, who is a widow with one child, that 1 would like to ex periment for one week and ascertain for myself the actual cost of maintain ing a small family, my wages being eighteen dollars a week. She was will ing. She had a suit of four rooms, for which she paid fourteen dollars a month. Well I paid the rent for one week and bought all her coal and wood and meat and groceries and paid for her laundry work and for my own, etc. Atttie end of Hie feven days I found that out of the eighteen dollars there remained but one dollar and three cents. Kn, as I am a modest man and have decided objections to adopting the cos tume of the South Sea islanders, I came to the conclusion that I would re main single and wear clothes."
