Felix hardly knew what to do or eav
at this atrocious prouottal. "If you
roast it alive," he cried, "you deserve
to bo all a on hbd up with lightning,
. i ' i
im care what vou do Spare
child s life' I will have no victim. Be
ware how you antrer rue:"
liJt the savage no sooner nays than
he does. With him deliberation Is
unknown, and impulse everything. In
a moment the natives huu gathered in
a circle a liuie way ofT. aud began
drawing lota. Several children, seized
hurriedly up amoug the crowd, were
huddled like so many sneep In theeen
ter r elix looked on from his ineloe
ute, half peiriritsd with horror. The
lot tell upon a pretty little girl of tire
years old. Without one word of warn
ing, without one sign of remorve. be
fore Felix's very eyes, they began to
bind the struogllng and terrlfled child
just outside the circle.
The white man oould stand this hor
rid liarbai ity no longer. At the risk
of his life at the risk of Muriel s he
must rush out to prevent them. They
should never dare to kill that helpless
child boiorc hi very eyes. Come what
tuik'ht" though even Muriel uhould
Huffer for it -tie felt ho must rescue
that trembling little creature. Draw
ing lib trusty knite and opening the
big blade ostentatiously before their
eyes, he m;id' a -nildeu dart li ke a wild
beaut acron-4 the line, and pounced down
upon the party that guarded the vic
tim. Was it a ruse to make him crows the
line, alonu. or did they rea ly mean it?
fle hardly knew: hut be bad no time
to debate the abstract qutnt,ou. Burst
ing into their midst he seized the child
with a rush in his circling arms and
tried to hurry back with It within the
protecting taboo-line.
Cjuick as lightning he watt sur
rounded aud almost cut down by a furi
ous and frantic mob of half-naked sav
ages. "Kill him! Tear him to pieces:'
they cried in their rage. "He bus a
bad heart! Ho destroyed our huta! He
broke down our plantations! Kill him,
kill him, kill him!"
As they nloed in upon him, with
spears und tomahawks and clulig, Felix
saw he had nothing left for it now but
a hard fight for lite to return to the
talKxi-llne. Holding .he chilu in one
arm, and striking wildly out with his
knife with the other, he tried to hack
his way back by main force to the shel
ter of the taboo-line in frantic lunges.
The distance wa but a few feet, b it
tho savages pressed round him, half
frightened still, gnaahing their teeth
and distorting their laces in anger.
"JJe has broken the Talxio," they cried
in vehement tones. ' Uo has crossed
the lino w.llinly. Kill him! Kill him!
We are froo from win. We have boujjnt
him with a prize --with many cocoa
nuts!" At the sound of the struggle going
on so close outside., Muriel rushed in
frantic haste and terror from the hut.
Her face was pale, but hor dumeanor
j was resolute. Deiore Mall could stop
I her, she, too, had crossed the sacred
I line of tho coral mark, and I mil tiling
herself madly upon Felix's a-.sailanU,
t to cover his retreat with her own frail
I body.
! "Hold o.T!" she cried, In her horror,
! in English, but in accents even tboso
1 savaires could road. "You shall not
touch him!"
With a fierce effort Felix tore his
; way bacK, through tno spea -s anu
! clubs, toward the place of safety. Tho
i suvagos wounded him on the way more
i than onco with thoir jojfSed stone
i siKjar-t'ps, and blood llowed Irom his
i breast and arms in profusion. ' lint
they didn t dure even so to touch
Muriel. Tho sight of that pure whito
woman, mailing out In tier weuKuess
to protect her lover's life from attack,
! access of superstitious awe. One or
i two of themselves were wounded by
j Felix's knl e, for they were unac
customed to stool, tho iijh Ihey had a
; tew blades made out of old huropoan
' barrel: hoops. For a minute or two the
! conflict wus sharp and hotly contested,
i Then at laat Felix manured to Ilintf
Du11111t.1l tn utrilrA 1 ifim wtrnnnmo rrnufi
the child across the line, to push
Muriel with one hand at arm's-length
before him, and to rush himself within
the sacred circle.
No sooner had he crossed it than the
savages drew up around, undecided as
yet, but In a threatening body, tank
behind ranic, their loose hair in their
eyes, they stoo l like wild boasts balked
of their prey, and veiled at blin. Some
of them brandished their spears and
their stone hatcnets angrily in their
victims' faces. Others contented them
selves with howling aloud as before,
and li ling curses afresh on the heads
of the unpopular storm-gods. ''Look
at her," they cried, In their wrath,
pointing their skinny brown fingers
angrily at Muriel. "Hee, she woeps
even now. She would Hood us with
hur rain. She Isn't satisfied with all
the harm sho has poured down upon
tiotiparl already. She wants to drown
US."
And then a little knot drew up close
to the line of talsxi itself, and began to
dis'uss in loud and serious tones a
Drosaing question of savago theology
and religious practice.
"They have crossed the line, within
the three days." some of the foremost
warriors exclaimed, in excited voices.
'Ther are no longer taboo. We can
do as we please with them. We
may

butthoufh they spoke so bravely
they hunf Mole themselves, fearful of

Other of the crowd answered them
baitu. weimly: "No, no: not so. Be

One old, gray-bearded warrior, in
particular, he d his countrymen ba "k.
"Mind how you tritie with gods," the
old chief Slid in a tone of solemn
warning. "Mind how you provoke
them. They are very mighty. When
1 was vouug our people killed three
sailing gods who came aahore in a
small canoe, built of thin split logs:
and within a month an awful earth
quake devastated Boupari, and tire
burst forth from a mouth in the
ground, aud tbe people knew that the
spiriu of the sailing gods were very
angry. Wait, therefore, till Tu-Kila-Kila
himself comes, and then a-k of
him, and of Fire and Water. As Tu-Kila-Kila
bids you, that do you do. Is
he not our great god, the king of us
all, and the guardian of the customs of
tbe island ol Boupari?"
"la Tu-Kila-Kila coming?" some of
the warriors asked, with bated breath.
"How should be not come?" the old
chief asked, drawing himself up very
erect. "Know you not the mysteries?
The rain baa put out all the tires in
Boupuri. Tbe King of Fire himself,
even bis hearth is cold. He tried his
best in the storm to keep his sacred
embers still smouldering, but the King
of the ttain was stronger than he was,
and put it out at last in spite of his en
deavors. Bo careful, therefore, how
you deal with the Kinjr of the Rain,
who tome-, down among lightnings,
and is so very jiowerful. "
"And Tu-Kila-Kila comes to fetch
freeh lire'?" one of the nearest savages
asked, with profound awe.
"He com s to fetch fresh fire, new
fire from the sun," the o d man an
swered, with awe in his voice. "TlfViHe
foreign gods, are they uot strangers
ftmtt thA uiin'J That liui'a tiwitiirfot tho '
divine seeds of hre, growing in asnin

Tnev need no rubbing sticks and drill
to kindle fresh llaino. They touch the
seed oc the box, and, lo.like a miracle,
tire bursts forth from the wood spon
tunuoiis. Tu-Kila-Kila comes, behold
this miracle."
The warriors hun back with doubt
ful eyes for a moment. Then they
alKjke with one accord: "Tu-Kila-Kila
shall decide. Tu-Kila-Kila' Tu-Kila-Kila!
If the great god says Tattoo
holds good, we will not hurt or offend
the strangers. But if the great god
say the J aboo is broken, and wo are
all without sin -then Korong. Koiong!
wo will killthera We wi 1 oat them.
As the two parties stood glaring at
ouo another, across that narrow imag
inary wall, another cry went up to
heaven at the distant sotuiu of a pecu
liar tom-tom. "Ta-Klla-Kila comes!"
they shouted. "Our greut god ap
proaches! Women, begone Men, hide
your eyes! Fly, !'y from tho bright
ness ol his fa e. which in as tho tsun in
glory! Tu-ii a-Uila conies! Fly far,

And in a m uuei.t the women had
disappeared into space, and the nifn
lay nat on the moist ground with low
groans of surprise an i hid their faces
in tneir hands in abject terror.

Tu-Kila-Kila came up in hi
grand -a,
with
est panoply. Tho great umbre!
the hanging cord-, rose high over his
head; the King of Fire and the King
o.' Water, in their robe. of statu,
marched slowly by his side; a whole
group o slaves and tcm:le attendants,
clapping hands . in unison, followed
obedient at his sacred heels. But us
soon as no reached the o en in Ir.mt
of the huts and begun to speak, Felix
could easily seo, in spite of his own
agitation and the excitement of tho
moment, that the implacable gou him
solt wus jiroio mdly frightened. Last
n.ght's storm had, indeed, been terri
ble: but Tu-Kila-Kila mentally coupled
it with 1 olix s al.titudo toward himself
at their last interview and real ly be-
licvod in his own heart he had met, af
ter ull with a stronger god more pow-
erlu! than himself, who could make ;
tho clouds burst forth in firo. and the j
earth tremble. The savago swaggered
a good deal, to be sure, as s oftun the
fashion with savages when frightened:
but Felix could son between tho lines,
that he swaggered only on the familiar 1
principle of whistling to keep your
courage up. and that in his heart of
hearts he was most unhpoakably terri
fied. "Vou did not do well, O King of the
Kain, last night." he said, after an in
terchange of civilities, as becomes
great goils. "You have put out even
the sacre I tlarae on the holy hearth of
the King of Fire. Vou have a bad
heart. Why do you use us so"
"Why do you lot your people offer
human sacrifices';"' Felix answered,
boldly, taking advantage of his posi
tion. "They are hateful in our sight,
these cannibal ways. While wo re
main on the island, no human life shall
be unjustly taken. Do you understand
mo'-1'
Tu-Kila-Kila d rew back, and gazed
around him suspiciously. In all his
experience no one had ever darod to
address him like that. Assureulv, the
stranger from the sun must be a very
great godhow great, he hardly dared
to himself to realize. He shrugged
his shoulders. "When we mighty
deit'es of the hrst order speak together,
face to face," he said, with an uneasy
air, "it la not well that tbe mere com
mon herd of men should overhear our
profound deliberations. Let us go In
side your hut. Let us comer in pri
vate.1'1 Tbe v entered the hut alone, Muriel
still clinging to Felix's arm, in speech
less horror, lhen Felix at once be
gan to explain the situation. As he
spoke, a baleful light gleamed in Tu
KibA..llas eye. The great goJ re
moved his mulberry-paper mask. He
was evidently delighted at the turn
things had taken. If only he dared -but
there; he dared not. "Fire and
Water would never allow It," he mur
m.ired softly to himself. "They know
the taboos as well as I do." ''It was
alaar to Felix that the savace would
ladlr bavu sacriliced him if he dared,
lUia mat n tmaae no rones anout icr
tins bun know it: O.it the custom
of
the inlanders bound him as tightly aa !
it bouu l themsolvi s. and be was
afr.iid to transgress it.
".Now listen," Feiix said, at last,
a'ter a palaver, looking in tne savage's
face with a resoiute air: "Tu-ivila-Kiia.
we are uot all aid of you. We
are not airaid of all your people. I
went out alone jut-t now to rescue that
cln.d. and, as you see, 1 sue ceded in
rescuing it Vour people have wounded
me loos at the bluod on my arms and
chest - but I don't mind for wounds. I
mean you to do as I say, and to make
your people do so, too. Understand,
the nation to which I belong is very
power, ul. You have heard of the sail
ing go Is who uo ovet the sea in canoes
of tire, as swift as the wind, and whose
wea ons are hoi iow tubes, that belch

heads, those bailing gods will be ore

canoes, and bring to bear upon your
island their thunder and ligntn ng,
and destroy yo. r huts, and punish you
for the wrong you have vent u ed to do
us. So now you know, lie-member
that you act exactly as 1 tell ;,ou. '
'i'u-Kila-lvila was evidently overawed
by the white man s ri solute voice and
manner. He had heard before of the
sailing gods i as the l otyuesiuus of the
old sciiool still call the Furopeans ;
and though but one or two stray indl-viduul-i
among tiiein had even reached
his remote island i mostly castaways ,
he was quite well enough acquainted
with their might and power to be
deeply impressed by t elix s exhorta
tion, rio he tried to tern pori.e. "Very
well," be made answer, with his jaun
tiest air, assuming a tone of friendly
goodfellowship toward his brother
god. "1 will boar it in mind. 1 will
trv to humor you. While your time
lasts, no man shall hurt you. lint if I
promise you that, you must do a good
turn for me insteai. You must come
out liefore the people and give me a

about in a shin.ng box with you. The
King of Fire has all iwcJ his sacred

Hood; for last night, yt.u kn w, you
came down heavier. Tho King of tire
acknoledges himself beaten. So give
us li;ht now before the people, that
they may know we are gods, and may
fear to disobey us."
"Only on one condition," Felix an
swered, sternly; lor he felt he had Tu-Kila-Kila
more or less in his power
now, and that ho could drive a bargain
with him. Why, he wasn't sure; but.
he saw Tu-Kila-hlla attached a pro
found importance to having the sacred
hre rtsligntea, as ha thought direct
fro n Heaven.
"What condition is that'?" Tu-Kila-
Kila asked, "glancing about him sus
piciously.
'Why, that you give up
human sacrifices."
Tu-Kila-ila gave a start,
rejected for a momont.
in future
Then he
Evidently
the condition seemed to him a very
hard one. "Do vou want all the vi -
tims tor your.iclf and her, then?" ho
a ked, with a casual nod aside toward
Mui iel.
Felix drew back, with horror de
picted on eve y line of his face,
"Heaven forbid!" he answered, fer
vcntlv. "We want uo bloodshed, no
human victims. We ask you to give
! up these noma practices, ueeause
1 tney shock and revolt us. If you
: would have your lire lighted, you must,
! promise us to put down cannibalism al
together mui! eiorni in your island.
Tu-Kila-Kila liu itated. Alter all,
it was only lor a very short time that
these strangers could thus board him.
Their day would come soon. They
were but "norongs. .Meanwhile, it was
best, no doubt, to effect a compromise.
"Agreed," he answered, slowly. "I
will putdown human sacrifices so long
as yo.i live among us. And I will tell
the people your taboo is not biokcn.
All shall bo" done us vou will n thi.i
