CHAPTER XVII. Continued. She laid her hand soothingly on his. She stroked hirn gentlv. "You are a man," she said, looking up into his eyes with confidence. "I trust you. I believe in you. I know you will never let these savages hurt me. . . . Eelix, in spite of everything, I've been happier since we came to thi3 island together than ever I have been in my life before. I've had my wish. I didn't want to miss in life the one thing that life has best worth giving. I haven't missed it now. I know 1 haven't, for I lovts you, and you love me. After that. I can die, and die erladly. If I die with you, that's all I ask. These seven or eight terrible weeks have made me feol somehow unnaturally calm. When I came here first I lived all the time in an agony of terror. I've got over the agony; of terror now. I'm quite resigned and happy. All I ak is to bo saved by you from the cruel hands of the hateful cannibals." Felix raised her white hand just onee to his lips. It was the first time he had ever ventured to kiss her. He kissed it fervently. She let it drop as If dead by her side. "Now tell me all that happened," she said. "I'm strong enough to bear it. I feel such a wom .n now so wise and calm. Theso few weeks have made me grow from a girl into a woman all at once. There's nothing I dareu t hear, if you 11 te Ime it. Felix.1' Felix took up her hand atrain and held it in his, as he narrated the whole story of his visit to the Frenchman. When Muriel had heard it, she said once more slow 1 v. "I don't think there's anv hone in all these wild plans of playing otf superstition against superstition. To my mind there are only two chances left for us now. One is to concoct with the Frenchman some means of getting away by canoe from the island -i d rather trust the sea than the tender mercv of these dread ful people; the other is to keep a closer lookout than ever for the merest chance of a passing steamer. Felix drew a deep sigh. "I'm afraid neither's much use." he said. "If we tried to get away, dogged as we are, day and night, by our Shadows, the natives wouid follow us with their war canoes in battle array and hack us to pieces; for I'eyron says that, regarding us as gods, they think the rain would vanish from their island forever if once they allowed us to gt away alive and carry the luck with us. And as to the steamers, we haven't seen a trace of one since we left the Australasion. Probably it was only by the purest accident that evnn she ever came so close in to Boupari." "At any rate, Muriel cried, still clasping hl hand tight and letting the tears now trickle slowly down her ; pale white cheeks, "we can talk it a.l : over some day with M. I'eyron. " i . . v. . a ! "We can ta.k it overto-dav." Felix answered, "if it cornea to that; for Pey ton means to step round, he savs, a little later in the afternoon, to pav his respects to the first white ;ady he has ever seen since he' left New Ca'euonia." CHAPTEB XVIII. TU-KILA-KILA PLAYS A CARD. j Before the Frenchman could carry I out hU plan, however, he was himsoff j the recipient of the high honor oi a J?. rol?..hls superior goi and chief, ! J. U-Hl a-K.ua. Every day, and all day lonsr. save on i a few rare occasions wheu special duties ai solved him, the crstom ani re-, ligion of the is anders prescribed that 1 their supreme incarnate deity sho.ild keep watch and ward without cessation over the great spreading banyan tree that overshadowed with its dark bo ighs his temple-i a ace. High god aa he was he:d to be. and ail-powerful within the limits of his own strict taboos, Tu-Kila-Klla was yet as rigidly bound within those iron laws of cus tom and religious usage as the meanest and poorest of his sub ect worship ers. From sunrise to sunset, and far on into the i night, the PUar of ,lieaven j - vu,n.e, l""; "K "uw" ! with spear in hand and tomahawk at : Bide, as eUx hai so often seen him, before the sacrei trunk, of which he appeared to be in some mysterious way , -rvyu guoiu.au. ma ory power, it seemea, was intimately bound up with the performance of that i oaselessandirksomedi.tv. he wasairod i .k, u- " i- I webTtaTdt intne ba aneeTbu? ! r . . uui ne remained so on y on the onerous condition of racing to and fro, like a entry, forever betore the still more holy ana venerable object he was chosen to protect from attack or ini'ury.

All Other times, too, when he ! went out in state to visit, the lesser deities of his court, the King of Fire and the King of Water made a solemn taboo before ae left his home, which protected the sacred tree from affsression during its guardian's absence. Then Tu-Kila-Kila, shaded by his di vine umbrella, and preceded by the noise of the holy tom-toms, could go like a monarch over all parts of his realm, giving such orders as he pleased (within the limits or custom) to his inferior oTicers. It was in this way that he now paia his visit to M. Jutes Peyron, King of Birds. And he did so tor what to him were amply sufficient reasons. It had not escaped Tu-Kila-Kila's keen eye. as he paced am one his skel-!

Frenchman's quarters. He felt pretty ! sure, therefore, that Felix had by this time learned another white man was living on the island, and he thought it an ominous fact tnat tne new-comer should make his way toward his fellowEuropean's hut on the very tirst morning when the law of tattoo rendered such a visit possib e. The savage is always by nature suspicious, and Tu-mia-iUla bad grounds enouarn ot nis own for suspicion in this particular in stance. TAe two wnite men were suroiy brewing mischief together for the Lord of Heaven and Far Hi, the Illuminator of the Glowing Light of the Sun: he mimt make haste and see what plan they were concocting against the sacred tree and tho person of its representative, the King ot Plants and of the Host of Heaven. But it isn't so easy to make haste When all your movements are impeded andhampere.! by endless ta'.oos and a minutely annoying ritual. Beloro Tu-Kila-Kila could get himself un ler vva, acred umbrella to: a t pi- ;. in! .ill, it was necessary lort. e u. i .10 anl the King of Water to s..s VAn,ouu

ive elements: and so by the time the high god had reached M. Jules Peyron's garden. Felix Thurston had already some time since returned to Muriel's hut unil his own quarters. Tu-Kila-kila approached the King of the Birds, amid loud clapping of hands, with considerable haughtiness. To say the truth, there was no love lost between the cannioal irod and his European subordinate. The savage, putted up as he wus in his own conceit, had nevertheless always an uncomfortable sense that, in his heart of hearts, the impassive Frenchman had but a low opinion of him. So he invariably tried to make up by the solemnity of his manner and the loudness of his assertions for any trilling scepticism that might possibly exist in the mind of his follower. On this particular occasion, as he reached the Frenchman's plot, Tu-Kila-Kila stepped forward across the

Willie umuu-lllie Willi u buspiuiuus auu Seering eye. "The King of the Rain as been here," he said, m a pompous tone, as tho Frenchmun rose and saluted him ceremonously. "Tu-Kila-Kila's eyns are sharp. They never sleep. The sua is his sight. He be holds all things. You cannot hide aught in Heaven or earth from the knowledge of him that dwells in Heaven. I too! down upon land and sea, and spy out all tnat takes place or is planned In them. I am very holy and very cruel. I see all earth and drink the blood of all men. The King of the Rain has come this morning to visit the Kiiiir of the Birds. Where is he now? What has your divinity done with him?" H9 spoke from under the sheltering cover of his veiled umbrella. The Frenchman looked back at him with as little lovo as Tu-Kila-Ki a niruself would have displayed had his face been visible. "Yes, you are a very great go3," he answered, in the conventional tone of Polynesian adulation, with just a faint under currentof irony running through bis accent as he spoke. "You say the truth. You do, indeed, know &11 things. What need for me, then, to tell you, whose eye is the sun, that my brother, tho King of the Bain, has been hero and gone again? Yon knew it yourself. Your eye has looked upon it. My brother was indeed with me. He consulted me as to the showers I should need from i his clouds for the birds, my subjects." I "And where is he gone now.-" Tui KUa-Kila asked, without attempting to conceal tho displeasure in his tone, , for he more than half suspected the : Frenchman of a sacreligious and mon- ! strous design of chatting him The King ot the Birds bowed low once more. "Tu-Kila-Kila's glance is keener than my hawk's," he answered with the accustomed Poly- ! nesian imagery. "He sees over the land with a glance, l'ke my parrots, ? over ? soa W1 ?na,'P "l?"1' "ke my albatrosses. He knows where "J one- or " .w" "" leas amMrV sail Sr . A I mi I w . vs n nn m sr vm-iw Vi and biink like a crow. 1 do not know those things. Thoy are too high and too deep for me." Tu-kila-Kila did not like the turn the conversation was taking. Boloro his own attendants such hints, indeed, were almost dangerous. Once let the savage begin to doubt, and the Moral Order goes with a crash immediately. Bosides, he must know what these ..Fire and Wuter ne said in a loud 1 j ,;... i,st satellites, "eo far down the oath, and K,fl tVi tnm-t.m Fom.ft ntT with fiwi anH iiunn ihn i,in-v,t vA trw J th,.

I, Tu-kila-Kila. myselt have said it." Fire and Water, bowing low, hacked down tho path, beating tom-toms as they went, and left the savage and the Frenchman alone together. As soon as they were gone Tu-Kila-Kila laid aside his umbrella with a positive sigh of relief. Now his fel low-countrymen were well out of the way, nis manner altered in a trice, as if by magic. Barbarian as he was, he was quite astute enough to guess that v.i,nnVu.pna nuan nnihtnor in r.Vii hearts for an his mumbo-l'umbo.

Come, tell me the truth! The new j white man has seen you.'" "He has seen me, yes, certainly," ! the Frenchman admitted, taking a keen look deep into the savage's cunnln eyes "Does he speak vour lansuage the language of birds.-" Tu-Kila-Kila asked once more, with insinuating cunnlnD. ,.t uavp Wpaivl thnt thn niHn(r . ? 5 h1 J6 T;"? a4: or countrymen?" le speaKsmy language as nespeaKs Polynesian, ' the u-enchman replied, koe!Plnff "l9 eyes firmly fixed on his saent, "but it is not his own.

"Has ho seen the ioul of all dead parrots?" he askea. with keen interest in his voice. "The parrot that knows Tu-Kila-Kila's secret? That one over there - the old, the very sacred one?" M. Pevron gazed round his aviary carelessly, "oh, that one," he answered, with a casual glance at Methuselah, as though one parrot or another were much the same to him. "Yes. I think he saw it. I pointed it out to him, in fact, as the oldest and strangest of all my subjects." Tu-KIla-Ki!a's countenance fell. "Dia he hear it speak?" he asked, in evidont alarm. "Did it tell him the Rtory of Tu-Kila-Kila's secret?" suppose the King of the liain would have understood one word of it. I-ook here, great (jo'd, allay your fears. You're a great coward. I expect tho real fact about the parrot is this; it is the last of Its own race: it speaks the language of some tribe of men who once inhabited these islands, but are now extinct. No human being at present alive, most probably, knows one word of that forgotten lauguu.ro." "i'ou think not?" Tu-Kila-Kila Hiked, a little relieved. i ' I am tho King of the Birds, and I I know the voices of my sunjects by j heart: I assure you it is as I say," M. P'jyron answered, drawing himself up ' sole i;nly. j Tu-Kila-Ki'a looked askance, with j something very closely approaching a ' wink in his loft eye. "we two are j both gods," he said, with a tinge of irony in his tone. "We know what i that means. v ' I do not feel so certain." Ho stood close by the par- I rot with Itching fingers.

As he spoke ho darted a strange glance of nutred toward the unconscious bird, the Innocent depository, as he firmly believed, of the secret that doomed him. The Frenchman had turned bis back for a moment now, to fetch out a stool. Tu-Ki:a-iila, casting a quick, suspicious tyo to the right and left, took a step nearer. The parrot sat unimliliiiL' on its perch, inarticulately, putting its head on one side, and blinking its iiall-hlimicd eyes in the bright tropical sunshine. Tu-Kila-Kila paused irresolute before iM face for a second. II he on y dared one wring of the neck one pinch of his finger unil thumb almost! and all would be over. Hut ho d.ircd not! he

! dared not! Your savage is overawed i by tho b ind tei rorsof tuboo. His pre- ! do essor, some elder Tu-Kila-KHa of forgotten days, had laid a great charm upon that parrots ' life. Whoever hurt it was to die an awful death of unspeikable torment, Tho King of the Birds had special charge to guard it. If even the Cannibal God himsolf wrought it harm, who could tell what judgment might fall upon him forthwith, what ti rrib c vengence the dead Tu-Kl'a-Kila might wreak upon him in his ghostly ansrer':' And that dead Tu-Kila-Klla wus his own Soul! His own Soul might Hare up within 1. m in some mystic way and burn him to ashes. TO HE CONTINUED. Two Stupid Hoys. Dean Stanley on e sai l to a little boy, "If I tell you I was born in the second half of 115, can you tell me why I am tailed Arthur?" The name of tho hero of Waterloo was then on ail men's Hps, Wheu y years of age Arthur was sent to a preparatory school. He was bright ana clever, but lie could knot learn arithmetic, t Doctor iioyd writes in Longman's Magazine that the master of the school, Mr. liawson, deeluied that Arthur was the stupidest boy at ilgures who ever catuo under his care, saye only one, who was yet more hopeless, and was unable to grasp simple addition and multiplication. Stanley remained unchauged to the end. At laigby he rose lite a rocket to everv kind ot eminence, except that of doing "sums." In due time be took a tlrst-ciass at Oxford, where the clus.-ics and Aristotle's Ethics were the books in which a student lor honors must be p oticient lie would not have done as well at Cambridge, whose .Senior Wrangler must be an accomplice i mathematician. On tne contrary, that other stupid boy, "more hopelessly" than .Stanley, developed a phenomenal mastery of arithmetic He became the finance minister of after years, William 1-. Gladstone, who could make a budget speech of three hours' length, and full of figures, which so interested tho muiui.crs of the House of Commons that they tilled the hall, sounding and sitting till midnight. The story has two morals One is that a boy n ay be stupid in one study and bright in all the remaining studies. The other moral is, and it is most important, that a boy may overcome by bad study bis natural repugnan e to a certain study, an t even become an eminent master of it Fate of a Fool Mule. There is a dead mule back in Ken tucky, a sun-colored fool mule. J or a long time this ruule and a swaggering young bull have lived on the farm of the Benedictine Monks, beyond Covington, says the Cin.innati Tribune. When the brothers a use the other day there was an unearthly pound in the pasture lot below the monastery. It was the mule uud the bull fighting. The blood ran in streams from tne b.wl's nose and n outb. The mule was unhurt. He was moving on a pivot, with his heels ever toward the big, anitr. btule on the ciri uuifercuce of the circle trodden in the gras suddenly with lowered head and a bellow like thunder, the bull ru,hed at the mule. There was a flash of 6tcel, a thud, and the bull was on bis knees; the mule was on the kick. Time and again the bull went, down before the mule's lightniug feet. Once mere he made the rush, then retired seemingly beaten. The mule looked about, shook himself and began to cat grass. The first time his eyes had left that bull the latter saw Ills chance. When he had tlnbhcd with the mule there was scarcely enough le t to hurv. One of the monks said he was a fool, like eve y other mule; then they killed the bull to put him out oi his niisetv. Homewtiat Xearer. A returned "contraband" was onca entertaining ait aud.encein Dedham, Massachusetts with an account of a furious skirmish between "the blue and the gray" on the banks of the Potomac "But," said a severe critic of his highly colored narrative, a man who had not been to the war himself, "where were you when the battle was raging?" ". h, I was back among tiie baggage." "But how far were you from the bullets and cannon-balls.-" persisted the stay-utrhotue. Well," was the instant reply, "not so far as Fedhaiu!" Tho Implacable Scot. In my. early life I bad a passionate fondness tor the poetry of l urns. i have sometimes foolishly hoped to ingratiate myself with his countrymen by expressing it. But 1 have always found that a true .Scot resent your admiration ot h s compatriot, even more than he would your contempt of him. The latter he imputes to your imperfect acquaintance with many of the words which he use-;" and the same objection makes It a presumption In you to sup;;o-e that you can admire him.

Tho incompetency of the Domocratlo party to doal with tho ttriff, or with any great pra t eal exigencv. has reached a crisis. Tho crisis was tna.ked by the rcadin-' of President Cleveland 9 oxtraoidinary letter by 1 hairma 1 Wilson, of the Ways and Means Committee, in the House, on Tnursday, in closing t .0 debate on tho conference. Tne President's letter is the most exlraordina y deliverance, both in contents an I the plan of which it constitutes a part, ever .-ont by a chiuf executive to Congress; for, as is perfectly evident, it is not and never was, a p ivate communication to .Mr. Wilson, but a (ielibei-uto lulmtnation of a pub.ic character fob ted in the guise of a private statement. It was undoubtedly 1 re pared, probably in Ci ncert viiih Mr. Wit-on, with a view to precisely the use he made of it. Con cerning this arrogant letter, the Sioux C.ty Journal says: "This pronuncia:iient from tho Whito House, so unprecedented In parliamentary history, is therefore lull of signili cance. It can Ijo interpreted on no other theory than that it is an ucknowle .gment ot irreco enable conllict within the i'omocratio party as the ease now stands at Washm'ton: a ni.blic confession of impoteucv to deal with t ue tariit; a definite consciousness t at tho 1 arty, although in fu.l po.session 01 the l'O eminent, ca mot act on tho taritf.

The Early Greeks. The early Greeks depended upon the natural springs and cisterns hewn in the rock, but the Insufficiency of the supply ted to daring engineering works. As early as U25 Si. C, a tunnel, 4,200 feet long, eight feet h'gh, was cot through a hill which stood between Samos ami a coveted supply of water, Y ifty or sixty years later extensive works of a similar nature were constructed to bring water to Athena from the hills of Hymettus, Pentelieus. and Parn.tssus. Two conduits from Hymettus passed under tho head of tho Ilissus, and were cut in the rock for most of the distance. This conduit and one from Pentelieus met in a large reservoir just outside Athens, and from this the water was distributed throughout the city by underground channels. Some of the ancient aqueducts continue to supply Athens at the present timo. How the Ulllmen Tarn Tall.

Turning tail is a different tning with the hillmen to what it is with us. The inhabitants of one group of villages, the Rengman, aro noticeable for wearing a caudal appendage. This, of course, is not natural. It is fashioned of wood, eighteen inches long, curved upward, tapering to a point. .This is htted to the back, being suspended from the shoulders and secured in position by a sash, which is tied tight y around the waist.

Just how the fragments ot carbon are broken ud and the particles inhaled does not appear, but people collect them a ?ood deal and profess to derive benefit from their use. it has neen claimed for years that a smoky atmosphere is a good one for a consumptive patient, although this has been denied by doctors again and again. The carbon theory may account lor what some people believe to be nonsense and others an infallible theory, St. louia Globo-Democrafc Patron Saint of Shoemakers, In the third century Crispin and his brother Crispian, members of a noble Roman family, fled from Rome in consequence of the cruelties inflicted on Christians by the Emperor Diocletian. They settled in the town now called Soissons, in Fiance, where they worked as shoemakers, while they S reached the gospel to the Gauls, rispin was so benevolent that he even stole leather to make shoes for the poor! Hence a charitable deed dono at the expense of others is sometimes described as a Crispinade. In 287 both brothers suffered martyrdom, and the shoemakers have ever since taken "king Crispin," as he has been styled, for their patron saint. Out of respect for the b others, shoemaking is often tailed "The Gentle Craft." st'KS YOUR OUTING OH fcUE GREAT LAKtS. Visit picturesque Mackinac Island.
