CHAPTER XI. AFTER THE SfOUM. fCest morning- the day broki Wight and calm, as if the tempest had boon but an evil drcuin of the night, and nc pah IBrover. The birds sany loud; ht lizards came forth from thoir holes in the walls and basked, green and gold, in the warm, dry sunshitto. But though tho sky overhead was blue aria the air cteaf as usually happen afiir these alarming 'trOpical teye'onos and rainstorms, the roomcrlals of the great wind that hd raged all night long' among the forests 'ot the island were neither few or far bcVwecn. lOverywhere tho gl'ound was strown with leave, and branches, and huge stems Of COcoa-palms All nature was draggled. Many of the trees were strioped clean of their toliage, as completely m oaka in an English winter; on tttliors big strands of twisted fibers marked the sears and joints where mighty Doughs had been torn away by main force; while, elsewhere, bare atumps alone remained to mark the- fbi'mef presence of some noble dracoena or some gigantk bahyah. Bread-fruits and cocoanute lay tossed in the Wildest (confusion on tho around; the bahanna and plantaiii patches were beaten love! with the soil or buried deeo in the mud; many of tho huts had given way entirely: abundant, wreckage strewed eery corner rf tfce island. It was an awfnl sigat. Muriel shuddered to h'erstelf to see how much tho two that night had passed through. What the outer fringing rPef had Buffered from the storm they hardly knew as yet, but- frtiin tho door of tho hut Felix U'Ould see himself how evon the calm waters of the inner lagoon had been lashed into wild fury by the fierce swoop of tho tempest. Ilound the entire atoll the solid conglomerate coral floor was scooped under, broken up, chewed tine by tho waves, or thrown in vast fragments on the beach oi ine island. y tne easter snore, in particular, just opposite their hut, Felix observted a regular wall of many feet high, piled up by the Waves like the familiar Chesil Beach near his old home in Dorsetshire. It was the shelter of that temporary barrier aioile, no doubt that had preserved their huts last night from thtt full fury of the gale, and that had allowed the natives to cOfigregnte in such numbers prono On their faees in the mud and rain, upon the uneonsecratod ground outside their taboo-line. But now not an islander was to be seen within ear-shot. All had gone away to look after their ruined huts or their beaten down plantain patches, leaving the cruel gods, who. as they thought, had wrtought all tho mischief out of pure wantoness, to repent at leisure the harm done during the night to their obedient votaries. Felix was just about to cross, the taboo-line and walk down to tho shore to examine the barrier when Toko, his Shadow. l&vin? his hand on his Shoulder with more genuine interest and affection than he hau ever yet shown, exclaimed, with some horror, "Oh no! Not that! Don't dare to go outside! It would be very dangerous for you. If my people were to catch you on profane soil just now there's no saying what harm they might do to you." "Why so?" Felix exclaihied in surprise. "Dast night, surelr. thev were all prayers ami promises and vows and entreaties." Tho young man noddod his head in acquiescence. '-Ah. yo.-i: last night,'' he answered. "That was verv (.-ell then. Vows wore sore heeded. The storm was raging, and you were within vour taboo. How could thev dare touch you. a mighty god of tho temOest, at the Very moment when you Were rending their banyan-trees and snapping their cocoanut stems with your mighty arms like so many little chielrAn.hnnaaV V.vtvn Tn-I ,loI'ilo himselt. I exnect. the verv hich end. lay frightened in his temple, cowering by his trees, annoyed at your wrath; ne sent r'ire and Water among the worehipers no doubt, to offer up vows and to appease your anger. '' Then Felix " remembered, as his Shadow spoke, that, as a matter of ' fact, he had observed tho mon who ! usually wore the red and white feather cloaks among tho motley crowd of ! groveling natives who lay flat on their I faces in the mud of the cleared space the night before and prayed hard for j mercy. Only they were not wearing tneir rooes oi omce at the moment, in accordance with a well-known savage : custom; thev had come naked and in ; disgrace, as befits all suppliants. They 1 naa leu oenina tnem tne insignia ot their rank in their own shaken huts, and bowed down their bare backs to the rain and the lightning. ) "Yes, I saw them among the other islanders." Felix answered, half-smil ing, but prudently romaining, within 1 the taboo-line, as his Shadow advised him. Toko keot his hand still on his master's shoulder. "Oh, king.'' he said, beseechingly, and with great solemnity, ! am doing wrong to warn you; I am breaking a verv great I Taboo. I don't know what harm may come to me ior telling vou. Pcrhans Tu-Kila-Kila ' will burn me to ashes with one glance of his eyes. He may know this minute what I'm saying hero alone to you." j it is nam for a white man to meet scruples like this; but Felix was bold : enough to answer outright: "Tu-Kila- ' Kiia knows nothing of the sort, and can never find out. Take my word for It. Toko, nothing that vou sav tn m will ever reach Tu-Kila-Kila. " i The Shadow looked at him doubt fully, ana trembled as he spoke. "I l like you, Korong." he said, with a gen-1 uinely truthful ring in his voice. "You seem to me so kind and good so differ ent irom otner goas, who are very cruel. You never beat mo. Nobodv I over served treated me as well or as kindly as you have done. And for your sake I will evi.n dare to break taboo-if you're quite sure Tu-Kila-Kila will never discover it." "I'm quite sure." Felix answered. with perfect confidence. "I know it for certain. I swear a great oath to it" "You swear by Tu-Kila-Kila him self?" the young savago asked, anx iously. I swear by Tu-Kila-Kila himself." Felix replied at once. "I swear, without doubt He can never know it. " "That is a great Taboo, " tho .Shadow went on, meditatively, stroking Felix's arm. "A very great Taboo indeed. A terrible medicine. And you are a god; I can trust you. Well, then, vou seo. the secret is this: vou are a Korong, out you are a stranger ana vou don't understand the ways of Bounari. If for three days after the end of this storm, which Tu-Kila-Kila has sent Fire and Water to pray and vow against, you or tho Oueeii of the Clouds show yourself outside your own to,booline why, then, tho people aro clear of sin, whoever takes vou mav rend ou alive; they will tear you limb from imb and cut you into pieces." "Why BO?" Felix asked ao-liast at this discovery. They seemed to livo on a perpetual volcano in this wonderful island; and a volcano ever breaking out in fresh places. Thev could never get at tne bottom of Us horrible luperstitlona. "Banana iron lira tha atAiim.arml h ! w "in w wpfnvi

tho Shadow answered confidently "That was very wronjf. Voi, brought the tempest itpiUl ilsyourseU cK tK your trespass: therefore. i the custom of Poii pari, whicli wo learn in the mysteries, you become lull Korong for tho sacrifice at once. That makes the term for you. The people will give you all your dues: then llioy will say, "Wo aro free: wo have bought you with a price: we" have brought yottr coeoanut. No sin atta lies to us; we lire righteous: we are righteous.' And then they wiil kill you, and Fire and Water will roast you and Ixiil you. " "Hut only if we go outside t hb laboolineV" Felix ask il anxiously. "Only if you go outsido tho taboolino,"' the Shadow replied, nodding a hasty assent. 'Inside it. till your term comes, even Tu-Kila-Kila himself, the very high god, whose moat wo all aro, dare never hurt you." "Till our term comes?'' Felix inquired, once more astonished and perplexed. "What do you moan by that, my Shadow?" lJut tho Shadow was cither bound by some superstitious fear, or elsfl incapable of putting himself into Felix's noint of virnv. "Wiry, til' yen arc full Korong," lie answered, like one who speaks of some familiar fact, as who wrtuM say. till you are -10 years old, or, till your beard grows white. "Of course, bv and by, you will be full Korong. I cannot help vou then: but, till that time comes, X would like to do my best Uy you. YOu have been Vefy kind to me. I toll you much. More than this, it would not bo lawful for mo to mention. " , And tha was the most that, bv dexterous questioning, Felix could ever manage to got out of his mysterious Shadow. "At tho end of throe days we will bo safe, though?" ho inquired at last, after all other questions failod to produce an answer. "Oh, yes, at the end of three days the storm will have blown over," the young lnttn answered, easily. "All will then be well; You mat .venture out Once more. The rain will have dried over all the island. Fire and Water will have no more power over vou." Felix went back to the hut to inform Muriel of this new peril thus suddenly sprung upon them. 1'oor Muriel, now almost worn out with' endless terrors, received it calmly. "I'm growing accustomed to it all, Felix," she answered, resignedly. "If only I know that you will keep your promise, arid never let tne falf alive into these wretches' hands, 1 shall feel quite safe. Oh, Felix, do you know when you took me in your arms Hko that last night, in gpitb Of everything, I felt positively happy." About 10 o'clock they were suddenly roused by a sound of many natives, coming in quick succession, singlo file, to the huts, and shouting aloud, "Oh, King of the Rain, oh, Queen of the Clouds, como forth for our vows! Receive your presents!" Felix went forth to the door to look. With a warning look in his eyes, hia Shadow followed him. The nativos were now coming up by dozens at a timo, bringing with them, in great arm-loads, fallen cocoanuts and bread fruits, and branches of bananas, and large draggled clusters of hall-ripo plan tains. "Why, what aro all these?" Felix exclaimed in surprise. His Shadow looked up at him, as it amused at tho absurd simplicity of the j question. "These aro vours, of course," ho said; "yours and the Queen's: they me the windfalls you mttde. Did you riot knock them all Off the trees for yourselves when you Wero coming down in such sheets from the sky last evening?" Felix wrung his hands in positive despair. It was clear, indeod, that to the minds of the natives there was no distinguishing personally bvtweon himself and Muriel, and tho rain or the cycione. "Will they bring them all in?" ho asked, gazing in alarm at tho huge pile of fruits tho natives were making outside tho hut. "Yes, all," tho Shadow answerod; "they are vows: they are godsends; but if you like, you can give some of them back. If you give much back, of course it will make my people loss angry with you. " Felix advanced near tho line, holding bis hand up before him to command silence. As ho did so, he was absolutely appalled himself at the perfect storm of execration and abuso which his appearance excited. Tho foremost natives brandishing their clubs and stone-tipped spears, or slinking their fists by the line, poured forth upon his devoti'l head at once all the most frightful curses of tho Polynesian vocabulary. "Oh, evil god," they cried aloud with angry faces, "oh, wicked spirit! you have a bad heart Seo what a wrong you have purposely done us. If your heart were not bad, would you treat us like this? If you are indeed a god, como out across the line, and let us try issues together. Don't skulk like a coward in your hut and within your talioo, but come out and light us. Wo are not afraid, who are only men. Why aro vou afraid of us?" Felix tried to speak onco more, but the din drowned his voice. As ho paused, tho peoplo set up their-louu shouts again. "Oh, you wicked god! You eat the storm-apple! You have wrought us much harm. You have spoiled our harvest. How you came down in groat sheets last night! It was pitiful, pitiful! Wo would liko to kill you. You might have taken our bread-fruits and our bananas, if you would; wo give you them froely; they are youra; hero, take them. Wo food you well; we make you many offerings. Rut why did you wish to havo our huts also? Why did you boat down our young plantations and break our canoes against the b;ach of the island? That shows a bad heart! You are an evil god! You d.aro not defend yourself. Como out and meet us." CHAl'TKlt Xll. A POINT OK THKOI.OGY. t lost, with great difficulty, Felix managed to Beeure a certain momentary lull of silence. Tho nativos. clustering round tho lino till they almost touched it, listened with scowling brows, and brandished threatening spears, tipped with points of stone or sharks' teeth or turtle-bone, while he made his speech to them. From t ime to time, one or another interrupted him, coaxing and wheedling him, as it wero, to cross the line: but Felix never heeded them. He was beginning to understand now how to trea; this strange people. Ho took no notico of their throats or their entreaties either. By and by, partly by words and partly by gesturos, he made them understand that they might tako bu:k and keep for thomsolves all tho cocoanuts and bread-fruits they had brought as windfalls. At this the people seemed a little appeased. "His heart is not quite us bad as wo bought," they murmured among thomsolves, "but if ho didn't want them, what did he mean? Why did he beat down our huts and our plantations?" Then rolix tried to explain to them a somewhat dangerous task that neither he nor Muriei were really responsible for last night's storm; but at that the people, with one accord, raised ugreutloud shout of unmixed derision, "flo Is a eroil," thoy cried, "tul .vot ho is Mbw&ad of hU own aot nd into,

afraid of what wo, mere men. will do to him! 11a! ha! Take care! Those aro lies that he tolls. Listen to him! Hoar him!" Meanwhile, more and more native kept coining up Willi windfalls of fruit, or with object they had vowed in their terror to dedicate during the night; and Felix all the timo kept explaining at the top of his voice, to all as they 'anu 'Ha' In! wanted nothing, and lliai they could tukeall backagain. This curiously inconsistent action soomcd to puzzle the wondering natives strangely. Had ho made tho storm, then, thev askml, uHl eaten the

Ktnrm-iipjil, fo ' no Use id himself, out ! Uitt Of pure rterrsoiK'ss? it he didu'fc Bren want- lite ivtmlfalls and the obi jects vowed to him. why had he beaten ! down their cro s and broken their houses? They looked at him meaningly: but they dared not cross that great line of t'a'uoo. It was their own j superstition alone, in that moment of danger, that ko;jttheir hands oil those defenceless white people. At last a liap iv idea seemed to strike the Orowd. "VVhat he wants is a child?" thev cried, effusively. "He thirsts for blood! ; Let us kill arid roast him rl jiioper victim!" Felix's horror at this appalling propbsition knew no bounds. "If you do," ho cried, turning their own superstition against them in this last hour of need, "I will raise up a storm worse than last night's! You do it at your peril! I want no victim. The people of my country cat not of human flesh. It is a thing detestable, horrible, hateful to Ood and man. With us, all human life alike i s sacred. Vo spill no blood. If you dare to do as you say. J will raise such a storm over your heads to-night as will submerge arid drbwn the whole of your island." Tho natives list. -nod to him with profound interest. "Wo must spill no blood!" they repeated, looking aghast at one another. "Hear what tbo King says! We must not cut the victim's throat. We must bind a child with cords and roast ij ullve for him!" to m: ixixTiNUKii; Old Associates. In criminal trials grim humor has often played a conspicuous part A Sc. itch iudge once said toau eloquent culprit at the ba -: "You're a vare clever chiel, raon; but I'm thinking ye wad be none the wau.o; hangln'." Unconsciously funny was the Irish burglar, who, on being placed at the bar, left quite Uneasy when arraigned, and complained bitterly that lie Should be hi such an awkward position, so far from friends and llbme. The judge felt kindly toward Uiru and said: "He calm, young man, You may rest assured that, although amonj st rangers, full justice will be done yoa" "lie me soul, yer honor," groaned Pat, "and its fear of that same that thrubiess rue." Hut fun nier still, in its unconscious humor the following: Lord Chief Justice Holt, when young, was very extrava gant, and belonged to a club of wild fellows, most of whom took an in famous course of life. When during his later years, he was engaged at the Old Bailey, a iiian was tried and convicted of a robbery on the highway whom the judge remembered to have been one of his old companions. Moved by that curiosity which is natural on a retrospection of past iife. Hoi t, thiukin the fellow did not know him, asked what had become of such and such of his old associates. "Ah. my 'ord," said the culprit, making a low bow, "they are all hanged but your lordship and my self." Tho Chaplain's Cane. The Rev. VI B. Hagby, chaplain .of the House, has received a novel present It is a walking stick on which are drawn the heads of half a dozen' members of Congress in; addition tu that Of the reverend gentleman him-' self. It was the work of a convict in the Montana penitentiary, whd writes that the heads were drawn from pictures of these gentlemen which appeared in an illustrated paper Tne only implements at bis command were a broken penknife, a bit of window glass and red ink. The heads are drawn in relief, and the work is highly creditable from an artistic standpoint The races of Mr. Caruth, of Kentucky; Mr. Outhwa'te,of Ohio; Mr. Mbley, Pennsylvania; Mr. Everett, oi Massachusetts, and Mr. Maguire, of California, are among those reproduced. Those of the th ee gentlemen first named are especially good, a ud would be recognized even without the names which appear, in raisei letters beneath. The cane is surrounded by a handle of horn. Undismayed. A real craving of the soul is not easily appeased. Tor is the suDject of it easily deterred from seeking to gratify it by any considerations of worldly prudence, as witness this bit of boy biography reported by Uood iSCWS. "Mamma," said .lobnny, "won't you get me a double ripper sled?" 'Why, Johnny," answered his mother, "I knew a little boy who had a sled of that kind, and the llrst time he used it he crushed three of his fingers so that they hart to be taken off. How would you like that?" The youthful applicant wore a thoughtful look for a moment Then he said: "Well, mamma, I don't know It would be sort o' convenient not to have so many linger nails to keep; clean. " Superstitions of Criminals. Criminals have a deep-rooted belief in the power of talismans, and in, the protecting properties of charms, and amulets. According to an ex-' perienced detective attached to the. Criminal Investigation department, the professional burglar invariably, carries in his picket a small lump oi coal for luck. To this safeguard he pins his faith, and, with his "bit of charmed coal," it appears l.c may defy the authorities, however shrewd they may be. Sometimes when searphed at the police ortice, there are found concealed iu tho burglar's pocket a piece of chalk, lucky stones, and rusty horseshoe nails. Relying on such articles for his safety in the moments of peril, he parts with them most reluctantly, and often stipulates with the turnkey for their rotilrn to him on his liberation from prison. Two Xotecl Cats. Richard 111. and (Hover Cleveland are tho high sounding sanies of two Albertou (Md ) cats, which for sagacity aud size are remarkable. Dick is in years old, while Orover is his junior by half as many years, and they weigh twelve pounds each. They are accomplished acrobats, and perforin many tricks for the amusement of the. villagers. They frequently catch m bolts and other game in the thickets near their house, al. though they never care to wander from their own fireside, except on these short hunting trips. Hallimoro Suti.

A KENTUCKY MIJUCLE Judge John M. Rice Telia How He Was Cured of Rhetunatiim,Crippled for stx Yeara with Sciatica in Iu Worst Form', He .E;xpe:t'd to' Dip, but Was Silted In i Marveloui Manner. iFrom the Coviflgtoix; Ky.t Post.) The Hon. John M. Rice,' Lcuisa, Lawrence County, Kentucky, has for the past two years retired from active life as Criminal and Circuit Judge of the Sixtoenth Judicial District of Kentucky. He ban for many years se:.ved his native county an 1 Statj in the Legislature at Frankfort and at Washington, and. until his retirement was a noted figure in political and judicial eirdes. The Judge is wtll known throng! nit the State and possesses tho best qualities which go to make a Kentucky gentleman honored wherever he is known. About six years ago tho bodily troubles which finally caused his retirement at a time when li ; mental faculties were in the -.ienith of their strength, began their encroachment upon his naturally strong constitution. A few days ago a Kentucky Post reporter called upon Judge Rice, wh o in tlie following words related the hh-tory of the causes that led to his retirement: "It is just about six years since I had an attack of rheumatism, slight at first, but soon developing into sciatic rheumatism, whiea bean first with acute shooting pains in tine hips, gradually extending downward to my feet. "My condition became so bad that I eventually lost all power of my legs( and then tho liver, kidneys and bladder, and, in fact, my wholesystem, became deranged. I tried the treatment of many physicians, but recei ving no lasting benefit from them, I had recourse to patent remedies, trying one kind after another until 1 believed there were none I had net sampled. "In ls83, attended by ray son John, I went to Hot Springs, Ark. I was not much benefited by somei months' stay thore when 1 returned tome. My liver was actually dead, and a dull persistent .pain in iu region topt me on the rack all tho tjme. In lSfO I w m re-ao pointed Circuit Judge, but it was imp ssiblo for me to give attention to my duties. In 1S91. I went tj the Silurian Springs, Waukesha, Wis. I stayed there some timo, but wit hout: improvement Again I returned homo, tr is time feeling no hopes of recovery. The muscles of my limbs wero now reduced by atrophy to more strings;. Sciatic pains tortured me terri'uly, but it was the disordered condition of ny liver that was, I felt, gradually wearing my life away. Doctors gave me up, all kinds of remedies had been tried without av.iil, and there was nothing more for me to do but resign n.yself to fate. "I lingered ou in this condition sustained almost entirely by stimulants until April. 18U.V One day John saw an account of Dr. Williams' Pink Fills for Pale People in the Kentucky Post. This was something new, and as one more drug after so many others could not do so much harm, Juhn prevailed upon me to try the Pink Pills. It was, I think, in the first wee'e in May the pills arrived. I remember I was not expected to live for more than three or four days at the time. The effect of the pills, however, was marvelous and I could soon eat henrtily, e. thing I had not done for years. The liver Began almost instantaneously to perform its functions, an! has done so over since. Without doubt the pit s saved my life, and while I do cot c;.ave notoriety I cannot ref iso to testify to their worth. " Tho re porter oal led upon Mr. Hughes, the Louisa druggist , who informed him that Dr. Williams' Pick Pills have been very popular since Jvdge Riee used them with such be:ieu'it. He mentioned several who havei lounJ relief iu their use. An analysis of Dr. Wllliarrs' Pink Pills for Pale Peo :ilo shows I hat t hey contain, in a condensed form, ail tho elements necessary to give new life and richness to tho blood anu restore shattere I nerves.

A Nice Distinction. Tho Railway Age says: "The miles of main lino" in a Stato fall very far short of the ''miles of track." Thus id Illinois tho main lines aggregate 10,:tl5 miles, while thore are 1,300 riiiles tit second, third, fourth, and additional tracks, and 3,43fi miles of yard tracks and sidings, making a grand total Of 15,051 miles Of railway track in the State. This is an increase of 373 miles in the last fiscal year', though only 7(i miles of mail line were added. In the United Stato? at the beginning of 1883 there wero 171.805 "miles of railway'' and -49,824 miles of second track, sidings, etc., in addition, or 221,029 miles in all.
