CHAPTER XXX Continued. Felix recognized at once that ho had gained a point. ''Then look to it well," ho said, austerely. "Be careful how you act. Do nothiusrrash. For either the soul of the god is in tho heart of Lavita, the son of Sami: and then, since I refuse to eat it, it will decay away, as I.avita's body decays, and the world will shrivel up, and all things will perish, because the god is dead and crumbled to dust forever. "r e!so it Is in my body, who am god in his place; and then, if anyoody cUx-s me harm or hurt, he will bo an impious wretch, and will havo broken taboo, and Heaven knows what evils and misfortunes may not, therefore, fall on each and all of you." A very old chief rose from tho ranks outside. His hair was white an 1 his eyes bleared. "Tu-Kila-Kila speaks well," ho cried, in a ioud but mumbling voice. "His words aro wise. Ho - - , the point. He is very ciraui r.?. 1 advise you, my people, to be c;iro; 1 how you anger the white-faced (.!. :'or, for you know what he is he is ..tv.i!: he is f oworful. There was ne er any storm in my time- and 1 am an old man so great in Iloupari as the storm that ro.se when the King of the ate the tt'orm-applo. Our yams and our taros even now are suffering from it. He is a miffhty strong god. Beware how you tamper with him." He sat down, trembling. A younger chief rose from a nearer rank, and Baid his say in turn. "I do not agreo with our father," he criud. "His word is evil: he is much mistaken. I have another thought. My thought is this: Let us kill and eat . the whitefaced stranger at once, by waeer of battle, and whosoever fights and overcomes him receive his honors: and take to wife the fair woman, tho Queen of the Clouds, the sun-faced Koronar, whom he brought from the sun with him." 'But who will then beTu-Kila-ICila?, Felix asked, turning round upon him quickly. Habituation to danger had fcaado him unnaturally alert in such utmost extremities. "Why, the man who slays you," the youngchief answere 1. pointedly.gi-asp-ing his heavy tomahawk with profound expression. "I think not," Felix answered. "Your reasoning is bad. For if I urn not Tu-Kila-Kila how can any man become Tu-Kila-Kila by ki'iing mc? And if I am Tu-Kila-Kila, how dare you. not being yourself Korong, and not having broken off the sacred boush. as T did, venture to attack me? You wish to set aside all the customs of lion pari. Are you not ashamed of such gross impieiy?" i "Tu-Kila-Klla speaks well." the ! King of Fire put in, for ho had no cause to love the aggressive young chief, and he thought better of his chances in life as Felix's minister. , "Besides, now I think of it. bo must ! be Tu-Kila-Kila, beca; so ho has taken ! the life of the last great go.l, whom he ; slew with his hands: and therefore the ; life is now h s - he holds it.' Felix was emboldened by this favorable opinion to strike out a fresh lino in a further direction. He stood for- I ward once more, and beekoned again ' for silence. "Yes, my peonle," ho said i calmly, with slow articulation, "by the custom of your race and the creed you profess I am now indeed, and iu every ; truth, the abode of your great god, ! Tu-Kila-Kila. But. furthermore. 1 1 have a new revelation to make to you, I am going to instru t you in a fresh way. This cr;ed that you hold is full ; of errors. As Tu-hiia-Kila, I mean to take my own course, no inlander hin- ' dering me. If you try to depose me, ' what great gods have you now got lofty i None, save only i ire and Water, my ministers. King of tho Rain there is none: for I, who was he, am now Tu-Kila-Kila. Tu-Kila-Kila there is none, save onlv me, for the 1 other that was, I have fought and conquered. The Quoen of the Clouds : is with me. The King of the Bird3 is with me. Consider, then, O frien s, that if you kill us all, you will have nowhere to turn: you will be loft quite godless." 'It is true." the people murmured, ; looking about them, hah puzzle,!. "He is wise. He speaks well. He is indeed aTu-KilaKila." j Felix pressed his advantage home at once. "Xow, listen"' he said, lifting up one solemn forefinger. "I come Irom a country very far away, where the customs are bettor by many yams than those of Boupai-i. And now that I am indeed Tu-Kila-Kila your sod, your master I will change and alter some of your customs that seem to me here and now most undesirable. In the first place - hear this! -I will put down all cannibalism. No man shall eat of human tlesti on pain of death. And to begin with, no rnan shall cook or eat the body of Lavita. the son of Sami. On that I am determined I, Tu-Kila-Kila. The King of ttio Birds and I will dig a pit, and we will bury in it the corpse of this man that was your god, and when his own wickedness compelled me to fight and slav.in order , to prevent more cruelty and blood- j shed." ! The young chief stood up, all red in Ms wrath, an I interrupted him, brandishing a coral-stone hat-jhet. 'This is blasphemy," be said. "This is sheer rank blasphemy. These are not good , words. They are very bad medicine. I The white-faced Korong is no true ' Tu-Kila-Kila. His advice is evil and ill-luck would follow it. Ho wishes to change the sacred customs of lioupari. Now, that is not well. -Mv counsel is this: Let us eat. him now, unless he changes his heart ana amends his ways, and partakes, as is right, of the ! body of Lavita, the son of ami." The assembly swayed visibly, this wav and that, some inclinina" to the conservative view of tho rash young ! chief, and others to tho cautious liberalism of the gray-haired warrior. Felix noted this division, and spoke once more, this time more athoritatively : man ever. "Furthermore," he said, "my people, hear me. As I came in a shin propelled by fire over the high waves of the sea, so I go away in one. Wo watch for such a ship to pass by fiou-1 rari. When it comes the Ouoen of the ' Clouds -upon whoso life I place a great I Taboo: let no man dare to touch her at ' his peril: if he does, I w.ll rush upon j him and kill him as I killed Lavita, the 1 son of Kami. When it i omes, tho ! Queen of theClouds. the King of the! Birds, and I, we wi 1 go away back in j it to the land whence wo came, and bo j quit of Boupari. But we will not : leave it tireless or godless. When I ; return back home again in my own far ' land, I will send out messengers, vc-rv ; good men, who will tell you of a God ! more powerful by much than any you ever knew, and very righteous. Thoy : will teach you great things vou never i dreamed of. 1 horefore, I ask you now j to disperse to your own homes, while : the King of Birds and I burv the body I of Lavita, the son of Sami." All this time Muriel had been seated I on the grouud, listening with proround interest, but scarcely understanding a word, though hero and there, alter her six months' stay on the island, a single phrase was dimly intelligible to her. But now, at this critical moment she rose, and. standing upright ty Felu 8 side in her s, otless I'.nxlish purity among those fessem bled suv ages, I 4, ,i,',,WC .'if- '.-., :' '

linger to tho calm vault of heaven, and then across t he moonlit horizon of the sea. and last of all to the clustering huts and villages of Boupari. "Tell thorn." sho said to Felix, with blanched lips, but without one sign of tremor in

: hor fearless voice. "I will pray for ! them to Heaven, when I go across the sea. will thinK of the children that I loved to nat and play with, and will send out messengers' from our home boyond tho waves, to make them wiser and happier and bettor." j Felix translatod her simple message 1 to them in its pure womanly goodness. 1 Even tho natives were touched. They i whispered and hesitated. Then aft or a time of much murmured debate, the King of Kiro stood forward as a meditator. "There is an oraclo.O Korong," ho said, "not to prejudice the mat-tor, which decides these things a great conch-shell at a sacred grove in tho neisrhborin island of Aloa Mauna. It is the holiest oracle of our holy religion. Wo gods and men of Boupari have taken counsel togothcr. and havo 1 come to a conclusion. Wo will put ! forth a canoe and send men with blood on tho r faces to inquiro at Aloa Mauna of tho very great oracle. Till then, you aro neither Tu-Kila-Kila nor not Tu-Kila-Kila. It behooves us to i be very careful how wo deal with ! gods. Our people will stand round your precinct in a row, and guard you with their spears. You shall not cross j tho taboo lino to them, nor thoy to ! you: all shall bo neutral. Food shall j bo laid by tho lino, as always, morn, i noon, and night: and your Shadows shall take it in: but you shall not come out. Neither shall you bury the body of Lavita, the son of Sami. Till tho canoe comos back it shall lie in the 5un and rot thero." Me clap; od nis lianas twice. In a moment a tom-tom bciran to beat from behind, and the i eople all crowded without tho circle. The King of Fire came forward ostentatiously and made talxio. "If any man cross this line." he said in a droning sing-song, "till the canoe return from the great oracle of our faith on Aloa Manna, I, Fire, will scorch him into cinder and ashes. If any woman transgress. I ivili pitch her with palm oil, and light her up for a lamp on a moonless night to lighten this temple." Tho King of Water distributed shark's-tooth spears. At once a great serried wall hommod in t he Europeans all round, and they sat down 1o wait, three whites together, lor the upshot of the mission to Aloa Mauna. And the dawn now gleamed red on the Eastern horizon. chapter xxxi. at sea: off boupari. Thirteen days out from Sydney, the good ship Australasian was nearing tho equator. It was four of the clock in the afternoon, and tho caj tain -olTduty paeod the deck, puffing a cigar, and talking id y witii a passenger on former experiences. Eight bolls went on the quarterdeck: time to change watches. "This is only our second trio throuch this channel," thecaptaih said, gating across the channel with a casual glance at the palm-trees that stoo 1 dark against the horizon. "Wo used to so a hundred miles to eastward, here, to avoid the reefs. But last vovago 1 camo through this way qulto safely though we bad a nasty accident on tho road - unavoidable unavoidable! Big sea was running freo over tho sunken shoals: caught the ship aft unawares, and stove in better than half a dozen portholes. Ladv passenger on deck happened to be leaning over the weather gunwhale: big soa caught hor up on its crest in a jiftv, lifted her like a baby, and laid her down again gently, just so. on the bottom of the ocean. By George, sir, I was annoyed. It was quite a romance, poor thing; quite a romance; we all felt so put out a bout it the rest of that voyage.

"But he didn't succeod?" the passouirer asked, with languid interest. "Succeed, ray dear sir? and with a sea running twelve feet high like that? Why, it was pitch dark, and such a surf on that the gig could hardly go through it." The captain smiled and puffed away pensively, "Drowned," ne said, after a brief pause, with complacent composure, "Drowned. Drowned. Drownol. Went to the bottom, both of 'em. Davy .Tones' locker. But unavoidable, quite. Those accidents will happen, oven on the bast-resulated liners.

It was a reflected light, flashing from the island straight in the captain's eyes, s i all and insignificant as to si e, but strong for all that in the full tropical sunshine, ami glittering liko a diamond from a vague elevation near tho center of the island. 'Seems to ome and go in regular Order," the passengo observed reflectively, withdrawing his cigar. "Looks for all tho world just liko naval signalling." Tbo capta'n paused and shaked his head a n.oment. "Hanged if that isn't just whnl it is," he answered slowly, "it's a rigyed-up heliograph, and they aro using the Morso codo: dash my eyes if they aren't. V ell, this is civili: ation. What the dickens can have come to the island of Boupari? There isn't a darned European soul in the place, nor ever has I eon. Aneliorage unsafe; no harbor: bad reef; too small for missionaries to inako a living, and natives got notning worth speaking of to trade in." "What do they say?'- tno passenger asked, with sudden quickened interest. "How the devil should 1 tell you yet, Bir?" the captain retorted with choleric grumpiness. "Don't you sett that I am spelling it out, letter by letter? O, r, e, s, c. u, e, u, s. c, o, m. e, w, e, 1. 1. a. r, m. e. d Yes, yes, I twig it." And tho captain jotted it down in his noto-book for some seconds, silently. "Hun the flag thorn," ho shouted, a moment later, rushing hastily forward. "Stop hor at once. Walker, Easy, easy.

Well, there's what I make it out," the captain answered, handing him the scrap of paper on which ho had jotted down tho letters. "1 missed the beginning, but tho end's all riarht. Look ali-.'o there, boys, will you. Bring out tho Winchester. Tako cutlasses, all hands. I'll tro along myself in hor."

shooter by his side, seated grim In tne stern, took command of tho tiller. On tho island it was the first day of Felix and Muriel's imprisonment in the dusty precinct of T u-Kila-Kila's temple. ' All tho morning through, thoy had sat under the shade of a smaller banyan in the outer corner, for Muriel could neither enter tho noisomo hut nor go near the great treo with tho

"Well, don't you think vou ought to give up your seat to this woman, who lias probably been hard at work during the day?" ".No." "iTou don't?" 'I do not." Well," said the little man as he braced himself, "I da, and I am going to yank you clean out of this car."

Do You Wish the Finest Bread and Cake ?

It Is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder Is the purest and strongest of all the baking powders. The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweetest, most delicious food. The strongest baking powder makes the lightest food. That baking powder which is both purest and strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome food. Why should not every housekeeper avail herself of the baking powder which will give her the best food with the least trouble ? Dr. Haines, of Rush Medical College, Consulting Chemist of the Chicago Board of Health, says : "Royal is not only the purest, but the strongest baking powder with which I am acquainted."

Vegetation on tlw Moon. Louis Oathmatiii, a C.'hicatre astrono mcr, believes he has discovered vegetation on tho moon. In looking at the in: on through his telescope the other night he saw a spot of vivid green. "The s; ot ." he says, "was shaped much liko a srool, lyiusr in an easterly and westerly direction, and was, I estimated, about forty by seventy miles in extent, or about four times the size of Tyeho. I made no accurate calculations of either its size or its exact position on the lunar surface thatcvenine. and the next night when I attempted more elaborate investigation it- had disappeared. I have not seen it since. To my mind the green spot could have been caused oy nothing but vegetation in perfection of development perhaps grass, perhaps forests. That it has not since been seen may be due to causes unknown on earth, but theoretically, quito familiar to the moon." One of England' Oldest Trees. One of tho oldest trees standing in England is the "Tortworth" chestnut, which, as far back as the reign of Stephen, in 1135, was so remarkable for its size and antiquity that it was recognized as the terminal boundary of the manor of Tortworth in Gloucestershire. The wondrously old tree was cited by Dr. Ducard in his controversy with Duines Harrington as a convincing proof of the chestnut being indigenous to Ureat Britain. It is supposed to have attained its maturity in the reign of Kgbert. In lTiHt the Tortworth chestnut was fifty feet in circumference and fifty-two feet high, and many more centuries of tranquil existence were predicted for it. What the Old Farmer Thought. An unwise public administration may, it is true, work great i arm to a country or State, but there is a limit to the mischief that can lie done by even foolish rulers.

The Massachusetts tax assessors are having ditlieuity in their ellorts to assess the lax on bicycles provided for by a recent law of that State. They cenerally report that they have been able to get hold of hardly half the wheels in use, aud in some places could not have made even that showing had it not been for the wheelmen's directories, published before tho tax law was passed. Many of tho wheels are owned by minors, whoso property to the value of 1 ,W0 can be exempted. Tho Massachusetts assessors had a similarly bothersome task a few years airo in the taxation of hens, of which the Legislature subse quently relieved them.

French journalists are not now allowed to say anything at out anarch isis which may' displease the authorities, and are put to strunge shifts.

His leading article consists of a column of miniature hands with the lingers arranged to represent the letters, with his name printed at tho bottom. What Is a Maud!? El Mahdi'' can best be translated as 'the guide." Moslems generally are loosing for the oming of a proohet. Sumiis and Shiahs agree in expecting the uppearauce of a Mahdi or Messiah.

To be beautiful and charming they must have perfect health, with all it implies a clear skin, rosv cheeks. blight eyes and good spirits. At this period the young: woman is especially sensitive, and m anynervous troubles, which con tin ue through life, have their origin at this time. If there be pain, headache, backache, and nervous disturbances, or the general health not good, the judicious use of medicine should be employed. Dr. Pierce s Favorite Prescription is the best restorative tonic and nervine at this time. The best bodily condition results from its use. It's a remedy specially indicated for those delicate weaknesses and derangements that afflict womenkind at one period or another. You'll find that the woman who has faithfully used the "Prescription" is the picture of health, she looks well and she feels well. In catarrhal inflammation, in chronic displacements common to women, where there are symptoms of backache, dizziness or fainting, bearing down sensations, disordered stomach, moodiness, fatigue, etc., the trouble is surely dispelled and the sufferer brought back to health and good spirits.
