tBAPTER XlX-CnntlnueAV folix hardly know what to do or say at this atrocious proposal. "If you roast it alive," he cried, "you deserve to be all scorched up with lightning. Take care what you do! Spare the child's life' I will'have no victim. lieware how you an tree me:" But the savage no sooner says than he does. With him deliberation is unknown, and impulse everything. In a moment the natives had gathered in a circle a little way oir, ana began drawing lots. nurnealy up among the crowd, wore huddled like so many sheeu In tho cen ter. Felix looked on from his inclosure, half petrified with horror. The lot fell upon a pretty little girl of five Tears old. Without one word of warning, without one sign of remorse, be fore Felix's very eyes, they began to bind the struffg-limr and terrified child just outside the circle. Tne white man could stand this hor rid barbarity no lonsrer. At the risk of his life at the risk of Muriel's -he must rush out to prevent thorn. Thev should never dare to kill that helpless cnna Deiore his very eyes, come what might though even Muriel should Buffer for it he felt he must rescue that trembling little creature. Drawing his trusty knife and opening the big blade ostentatiously before their eyes, he made a sudden dart like a wild beast across the line, and pounced down upon the party that guarded the victim Was it a ruse to make him cross the line, alone, or did they rea;iy mean it? He hardly knew: but he had no time to debate the abstract Question. 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. union as lightning he was sur rounded and almost cut down by a furious and frantic mob of half-naked (lavages. "Kill him! Tear him to piecis::' thev cried in their ratre. "He hi.s a bad heart! He destroyed our huts! He broke down our plantations! Kill him, kill him, kill him!" As they closed in upon him, with spears and tomahawks and clubs, Felix saw he had nothing left for it now but aharanght Tor lite to return to the taboo-line. Holding the child in one arm, and striking wildly out with his knife with the other, he tried to hack his way back by mam force to the shel ter of the taboo-line in frantic lunges. The distance was but a few feet, but the savages pressed round him, half frightened still, gnashing their teeth and distorting, their laces in anger. "He has broken the Taboo. " they cried In vehement tones. '-He has crossed the line willingly. Kill him! Kill him! We are free from sin. We have bought him with a price with many cocoanuts!" 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 her demeanor was resolute. Before Mali could stop her, she, too, had crossed the sac-rod line of the eoral mark, and had flung herself madly upon Felix's assailants, to cover his retreat with her own frail body. "Hold off!" she cried, in hor horror, in English, but in accents even those savages could read. "You -shall not touch him!" With a tierce effort Felix tore his way back, through the spears and clubs, toward the place of safety. The savages wounded him on the way more than once with their jagged stone spear-tips, and blood flowed from his breast and arms in profusion. But they didn't dare even so to touch Muriel. The sight of that pure white woman, rushing out in her weakness to protect her lover's life from attack, seemed to strike them with some fresh access of superstitious awe. One or two of themselves were wounded by Felix's knife, for they were unaccustomed to steel, though they had a tew blades made out of old European barrelrhoops. For a minute or two the conflict was sharp and hotly contested. Then at last Felix managed to fling the child across the line, to push Muriel with one band 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. Rank behind ranic, their loose hair in their eyes, they stood liko wild beasts ba'.ked of their prey, and veiled at him. Some of them brandished tnoir apeara and their stone batcnets angrily in their victims' faces. Others contented themselves with howling aloud as before, and piling curses afresh 011 the h?ads of the unpopular storm-gods. "Look at her," they cried, in their wratu. pointing their skinny brown fingers angrily at Muriel. "tJoe, she weeps even now. sne wouia noou us with her rain. She isn't satisfied with all the harm she has poured down upon Boupari already. She wants to drown as." And then a little knot drew up close to the line of taboo itself, and began to discuss in loud and serious tones a Dressing question of savage theology and religious practice. "They have crossed the line within the three days," some of the foremost warriors exclaimed, in excited voices. "They are no longer taboo. Wo can ao as we please with them. We maycross the line now ourselves if we will, and tear them to pieces. Come on! who follows? Korong! Korong! Let us rend them! Let us eat them!" But though they spoke so bravely they hung back themselves, fearful of passing that mysterious barrier. Others of the crowd answorod them back, warmly: "No, no: not so. Be careful what you do. Anger not the gods. Don't ruin Boupari. if the Taboo is not indeed broken, then how dare we break it? They are gods. Fear their vengeance. Thoy are, indeed terrible. See what happened to us when they merely ate the storm -apple I What might not happen if we were to break taboo without due cause and kill them?" One old, gray-beard od warrior, in particular, held his countrymen back. "Mind how you trifle with gods," the old chief said, in a tone of solemn warning. "Alind how you provoke them. They are very mighty. When I was young our people killed three sailing gods who came ashore in a small canoe, built of thin split logs; and within a month an awful earthquake devastated Boupari, and Are burst forth from a mouth in the ground, and the people knew that the spirits of the sailing gods were very angry. Wait, therefore, till Tu-Kila-Kila himself comes, and Mien ask of bun. ana ot fire and Water. As Tu-Kila-Kila bids you, that do you do. Is lie not our great god, the king of us all, and the guardian of the customs of the island of Boupari?" "is Tu-Kila-h ila coming?" some of the warriors asked, with bated broath. "How should he not come.-"' the old Chief asked, drawing himself up very erect. "Know you not tho mysteries? The rain has put out all the fires in Boupari. The King of Fire himself, even his hearth is cold. He tried his best in the storm to keep his sacred embers still smouldei-iiit but Me Kinof th Rjlin was Atron"er th in he ivitu and put It out at t&st in spite of his en- j out at ts& m Bono 01 uis enfit woful, tberafort, bow

you deal with the King of the Rain, who comes down among lightnings, and is so very powerful." "And Tu-Kila-Kila comes to fetch fresh Are?" one of the noarost savages asked, with profound awe. "Hecomfs to fotch fresh fire, new fire from the sun,'' tho o d man answered, with awe in his voieo. "Theso foreign gods, are they not strangers from the sun? They have brought tho divine seeds of lire, growing in a shining box that reflects the sunlight. They neod no rubbing sticks and drill to kindle fresh llamo. They touch the seed on the box, and, lo.likoa miracle, Kuncto rtVt f..f,. (Kd ,,..-,.-.1 o,

j jane0U9 Tu-Kila-kila comes, behold this miracle." Tho warriors hung: back with doubtful eyes for a moment. Then they spoke with ono accord: "Tu-Kila-Kila shall decide. Tu-Kila-Kila' Tu-Kila-Kila! If the great god says Taboo holds good, We will not hurt or offend the strangers. But if the great god says the Taboo is broken, and wo uro all without, sin then Korong! Korong! we will kill them! We will cat them:" As the two parties stood glaring at one another, across that narrow imaginary wal), another cry wont up to heaven at the distant sound of a peculiar tom-tom, "Tu-Kila-Kila comes!" they shouted, '-our great god approaches! Women, begono! Mon, hide your eyes! Fly, 11 y from tho brightness of his face, which is as the sun in g-lory! Tu-Kila-Kila comes! Fly far, all profane ones!" And in a moment tho women had disappeared into spaeo, and the men lay flat on the moist ground with low groans of surprise and hid their faces in their hands in abjoct terror. CHAPTER Xlil. . AS BETWEEN GODS. Tu-Kila-Kila came up in his grandest panoply. Tho great umbrella, with the hanging cords, roso high over his head; the King of Fire and the King of Water, in their robes of state, marched slowly by his side; a wholo group of slaves and temple attendants, clapping hands in unison, followed obedient at his sacred heels. But as soon as he reached the open in Iront of the huts and began to speak, Felix could easily see, in spite of his own agitation and the excitement of the moment, that the implacable god himself was proiotindly frightened. Last night's storm had, indeed, boon terrible; but Tu-Kila-Kila mentally coupled it with Felix's attitude toward himself at their last interview, and really believed in his own heart ho had met. after all. with a stronger god. more powerful than himself, who could make the clouds burst forth in firo. and tho earth, tremble. The savage swaggered a good deal, to be sure, as Is oftou the fashion with savages when frightened: but Felix could see between the lines, that he swaggered only on the familiar principle of whistling to koep your courage up. and that in his heart of hearts he was most unspeakably terrified. "You did not do well. O King of the Rain, last night," he said, after an interchange of civilities, as becomes great gods. "You have put out even the sacred ilamo on tho holy hearth of the King of Fire. You havo a bad heart. Why do you use us so?" "Why do you let your people offer human sacrifices?" Folix answered, boldly, taking advantage of his position. "They are hateful in our sight, these cannibal ways. While wo remain on tho island, no human lifo shall be unjustly taken. Do you understand me?" Tu-Kila-Kila d rew back, and gazed around him suspiciously. In all his experience no one had ever dared to address him like that. Assuredly, tho stranger from the sun must bo a very great god how great, he hardly dared to himself to realize. Ho shrugeed his shoulders. "When we mighty deities of the first order speak toget her. face to face," he said, with an uneasy air, "it is not well that the more common herd of men should overhear our profound deliberations. Lot us go inside your hut. Let us confer in private' Thev entered the hut alone, Muriel still clinging to Felix's arm, in speechless horror. Then Felix at once began to explain the situation. As ho spoke, a baleful light gleamed in Tu-Kila-Kila's eye. The great goi removed his mulborrv-papor mask. Ho was evidently delighted at tho turn things had taken. If only ho dared but thero; ho darod not. "Firo and Water would never allow it," lie murmured softly to himself. "They know the taboos as well as I do." "It 'was clear to Felix that tho savage would gladly havo sacrificed him if he dared, and that he mado no bones about letting him know it; but tho custom of the islanders bound him as tightly as it bound themselves, and ho was afraid to transgress it. "Now listen," Folix said, at last, ago's Kilaafter a palaver, looking in tho sav face with a resolute air: "TuKila, we are not afraid of you. arj not afraid of ail your people. I went out alone just now to reseuo that cnna, ana, as you see, x succeeded in resc ling it. Your people have wounded me look at the blood on my anus and chest but I don't mind for wounds. I mean you to do as I Bay, and to make your people do so, loo. Understand, the nation to which I bolong is very powerful. You havo heard of the sailing gods who go ovoi tho sea in canoes of lire, as swift as tho wind, and whose weapons are hollow tubes, that beloh forth great bolts of lightning and thunder? Very well, I um one of them. If evor you harm a hair of our heads, those sailing gods will before long send one ' of their mighty firecanoes, and bring to bear upon your island their thunder and lightning, and destroy your huts, and punish you for the wrong you havo ventured to" do us. So now you know. Remember that you act exactly a,s I toll you." Tu-Kila-Kila was evidently overawed by the white man's resolute voice and manner. He had heard before of the Bailing gods (as the Polynesians of the old school still call tho Knropouns ; and though but ono or two stray individuals among them had even reached his remote island (mostly castaways , he was quite well enough aonuainted with their might and power to bo deeply impressed by Felix's exhortation. So he tried to temporize "Very well," he made answer, with his jauntiest air, assuming a tone of friendly goodfellowship toward his brother god. "I will bear it in mind. I will try to humor you. While your tiuio lasts, no man shall hurt you. But if 1 promise you that, you must do a good turn for me instead. You must come out before the people and givo mo a new fire from the sun, that you carry about in a shining box with you. Tho King of Fire has allowed his sacred flame to go out in defercnee to your flood; for last night, you knuw, you came down heavier. The King of l ire acknoledges himself boaton. Ho givo u light now before the people, that they mav know we aro gods, and muy fear to disobey us." 5 "Only on ono condition," Felix answered, sternly; lor ho fell he liad Tu-Kila-Kilu more or less in his power now, and that he could cirivo a bargain with him. Why, he wasn't sure; but he saw Tu-Kila-Kila attached a profound import :moo to having the snei-ed firo religntou, as he thought direct fio n Heaven 110 u ueaven. 1 "Wtwrt condition is that?" TuKU- j

"Do vou want all the vic tims lor your.-elf and lu-r. then?" lie a-keu. witJi a casual 110J at-ido toward Mui iel.

Lut the older and more conventional countries may still take a les on now and then from our Western common sense.

A call for troops! That was a (summary of tho ttriko situation Monday afternoon. In Washington the affair was turned over to General Schofleid, and it was admitted that the whole troublo had becime a matter for the United States troops to attend to. The Presi dent, tho Attorney General, and th ! ocrotary of War held a consultation and decided that if necessary the en tire military force of the Cnited States would be use 1 to enforce the running of trains. Troops, natlona1 and State, Bays Chicago dispatch, arj the feature the situation everywhere. The riotous demonstrations have made It Uncle Ham's fight from now on. His troops have taken the field in California and Colorado, and they havo boen asked for in Chicago. Application was made to the national and State governments for troops to auoll the rioters at Bluo Island, 111., at the s-ame time, but tho State was able to act with tho groate n: oraDtness in tho matter, aud tho See ond Hegiment was immeaiatoly or dered out. Meanwhile the Fifteenth Infantry at Fort Sheridan wpb placed under arms, an i a special train held in waiting to transport it to hicago the moment in structions were received from Wash incton. There wbs rioting at Blue Island all Monday morning. Revolvers wore frequently drawn, but there was no serious clash until the strikers had (fathered in sufficient numbers to drive back both the United States and Cook County deputies. Then about 2,000 of them charged and the deputies were driven away. Marshal Ar nold, who was on the ground in person. at once telegraphed District Attorney Milchrist to take steps to have the Fif teenth sent to his assistance, and the -heriff's force applied to Governor Altgeld for troops.

CO., 10 WALL S'., NEW-YORK, Wc men as Tea Tippler. The statement that the prevalence of insanity in Ireland is largely attributed to the consumption of much ill-brewed tea, has some significance out of Ireh.nd. With it may be coupled the complaint of a husband that he found his wife "tea tipsy" after each one of her "days at home," until she gave up the practice of taking a cup with every visitor. In the latter c4eo the tea was probably not intended to beill-brened, but unless it is made fresh ever y few minutes there must be distilled in the course ot a well-attended aft ;rnooti a good manv cups of harmful tea. The kitchen needs a close watch in this regard. Many pale, anxmic women in domestic service, owe their poor health a most wholly to the practice of incessant tea drinkfng. The kitchen teapot is perennially on the range. It simmers and stews all day, is filled with water as it is drunk out and the decoction grows stronger and more jitter as the final properties of the leaves are developed. New York Times.
