tho w. iiifi ca'cly held forward their

Muriel looked up, all da-ed, ami saw,
1o her iiit.-n-u surprise, the crowd was
now notiiintf but alfection and sympa

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. "They hay, 'It is

ness: "but not too much for fear the

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.

pood-humorodly. "1 muko her a pres

perception of the cause of the misun
derstanding, "borons must not touch
or (flvu anything to a bride," he said,
quietly, "not with his own hand. He
must not lay his linger on her: that
would bo unlucky. Hut he may hand

to his fellow tradesmen. "These (,'ods,"
he said, in un e planatory voice, like

in his hand, ho held it up for a mo

passed on tho trinket ostentatiously to
tho bride, who, smiling and delighted,
hung it low on her breast among her
other decorations.

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

"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

going to cross the white line of coral

suddenly and stoutlv round the waist,

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

Actual Experience.
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."
Some rnlntfl Ah.iut Flnfl.
Thorns were originally used in fast
ening garments together. Pins did not
immediately succeed thorns as fasten
ers, but different appliances were used,
such as hooks, buckles and laces. It
was the latter half of the fifteenth cen
j tury before pins were used in Great
! Britain. When first manuf'ac; ured in
i Kugland the iron wire, of the proper
length, was filed to a point, and the
tvher extremity twisted into ii tiead.
This was a slow process, and four or

The woman of good taste has her
finger Dail cut exactly to the round of
her finger, matching the half niobii

is filed simply to smoothness, and rub

1 lie House Snake
Iii the Ozark mountains there is a
small species of the snake tribe known
as the "houe snake." It is a harmless
reptile, but entirely too familiar, going
into the houses whenever it can and
finding its way into drawers, cupboards
and other places in an. unaccountable
way. By many people it is supposed
to bring bad luck to kill one ot these
serpents, and they are chased out of
the house as a dog or chicken would be.
As the houses are usually log cabins
with crevices between the logs, it is an
easy matter for them to enter.
