CHAPTER XXXT.-Contlnued About 1 o'clock in rhodav, howovor. looking casually fcaward what was this M. i'eyron. to his prroat savprise, described far away on the dim southern horL on? .V low. black lino, lying close to the wator? No, no: not a steamer! Too prudent to exeito tho natives' attention unnecessarily, the eaut'ous Frenchman whispered, in the most commonplaco voice on earth to Felix: "Don't Iook at once, and when you do look, mind vou don't exhibit any agitation la your tone or manner. Hut what do you make that out to be that loag, block hane ou the horion to southward?" IslIx;tdoked,disregardinr tho friendly injunction, at once. At the same moment, Muriol turned her eyes quickly in the self-same direct ion.' Neither made the faintest sisrn of outer emotion; but Murial elcnehed her white hands hard, till the nails dug into tho palm, in her effort to restrain herself, as she murmured very low, in a as;itatad voico, "tin vapeur, un vapour!" 'feo I think," M. i'oyron answered, very low and calm. '"It is, indeed, a steamer"' For three long hours those anxious souls wailed and watched it draw nearer and nearer. Slowly the natives, too, besran to porecivo the unac customed object. As it drew abreast of the island, and the decisive mo ment arrived for rronipt action, Felix rose in his place once moro and cried aloud, "My people, I told you a ship, propelled by Hre, would come from t he far land across the sea to take us. Tho ship has come: you can soo for yourselves the thick black smoke that issues In huffe puffs from the mouth of the monster. N"w, listen to me. and dare not to disobey mo. My word is law; let all men see to it. I am goin;f to send a message of fire from the sun to the great canoe that walks upon the Water. If any -man ventures to stop me from dolnjr it tho peo,lo from the great canoe will land on this isle and take venereance for his act, and kill with the thunder which tho sailing gods carry ever about withthem." By this time the island was alive with commotion. Hundreds of natives wlch their long hair falling unkempt about their keen brown faces, were arazinsr with own eves at the blir black ship that ploughed her way so fast aainat wina ana uae over tno suriace of the waters, some of tno shouted and gesticulated with panic fear: oth- j era seemed half inclined to waste no : time on preparation or doubt, but to : rush on" at once, and immolate their j captives before a rescue was possible, j JUutr eiis, keeping' ever his cool neau i undisturbed, stood on the dtistv mound by Tu-Kila-Kila's house, and taking in bis hand the little mirror he had mado i from the match-box. Dashed tho light : from the sun full in their eyes for a ; moment, to the astonishment anil (lis- i comfiture of all thoso gaping ravages. , xnen he iocussect it on the Austraisian, across the surf and the wave, and With a throbbing heart began to make his last faint bid for life and freedom. For four or five minutes he went ! flashing on, uncertain of the effect, , whether they saw or saw not. Thon a cry from Muriol bust at once upon his : ears. She elas; ed her hands convulsively in an agony of joy. "They ; Bee us: They see us." And sure enough, scarcolv half a minute later, a British flag ran gayly up the mainmass, and a boat seeme.i to 1 drop down over the side of the i essel. i As for the natives, they watched ' these proceedings with coiis'derable surprise and no little discomfiture clre ana wator, in particular, wnisperinar together, much alarmed, witu many superstitious nods and taboes, in , the corner of the enclosure Gradually, as the boat drew nearor and nearer, divided counsels prevailed among the savaf es. With no certainly recognized Tu-Kila-Kiia to marshal , their movements each man stood in doubt from whom to take his orders, i At last, the King ot Fire, in a hesitat- ; in" voice, gave the word of command. "Half the warrior to the snore to re pel the enemy; half to watch round the taboo-line, lest the Korongs escape us! Let Breathless Fear, our war god. go before the face of our troops, invisible!" And, quick as thought, at his worn the warriors had paired off, two and two, in long lines: some running hastilydown to the beach, to man the war . : l . i. l ; , i. -i i. .in . i uiui I mum n:r aun khu .uiwr circle, round tho great templo enclos ure or Tu-hiia-h.ua. For Muriol this suspense was posi lively terrible. To feel one was so close to the hope of rescue, and yet to know that hetoro that help arrived, or even as it came up, thoso savages might any moment run their ghastly spears through them But r elix made tne Dest ot ms po sition still. "Remember," ho cried. at the top of his voico, as t he warriors started at a run for the water's edge, "your Tu-Kila Kila tolls you. theso newi omers aro his friends. Whoever hurts them does so at his peril. This is a great taboo. I bid vou receive them. Beware for your lives. 1, Tu-Kila-Kila the Great, havo said it" CHUM-TEH XXX II. THE DOWNFALL. OP A PANTHEON. The Australasian's alg entered tho lagoon through the fringing reef by its narrow seaward mouth, and rowed steal ily for the lauding place on the main island. A little wav out from shore, amid loud screams and yells, the natives came up with it in thoir laden warcanoes. Shouting and ge-ticulating and brandishing their spears with the Shark's tips, they endeavored to stop ta progress landward by pure noise and bravado. "'We must l o careful what we do, boys," tho car tain observed, in a quiet voice of seaman like resolution to his armed companions. "Wo musn t frighten the savages too much, or show too hostile a front, for fear they should retaliate on our friends on tho island " He held up his hand, with the gold braid ontho wrist, to command silence: and the natives, gazing open-mouthed, looked and wondered at tho gosture. These sailing gods were certainly ar rayed in most gorgeous vestiments and their canoo, though devoid of a grinning figure-head, was provided with a most admirable and well-uniformed equipment. A coral rock jutted high out of tho sea, to the left hard by. Its summit was crowded with a busKlng population of sea-gulls and pelicans. Tho captain gave the word to "easy all." In a second the gig stopped s.iort, as those stout arms held her. Ho rose in his place and lifted tho six-shooter.

Then he pointed it ostentatiously at ! procession closo. with tears an I 1amthe rock, awav from tho native canoes, 1 entations. As they wont on, tho woand held up his nana yet again for ' men, rushing out of their huts silence. "We'll give-'em a tato of , while tho fugitives passed, tore their what we can do, hoys," he said, "just hair on their heads, and boat their to show 'em, not to hurt 'em." At breasts in terror.

tain said, cheerily, proceeding to lower a small object overboard by a singlo wire, while he hold up his hand a third time to bespeak silence and attention. Tho natives looked again, with eyes starting from their heads. Tho captain gavo a little click, and pointed with his linger to a spot on the water's top, a little way in front of him. Instantly, a loud rei.ort. and a column of water spurted up into tho air, some ten or twolve feet, in a boisterous fountain. As it subsided ngain, a hnndrod or so of tho brightest, colored fish that browse among tho submerged coral-groves of these still lagoons, rose dead or dying to the seething, boiling surface. Tho eaptain smiled. Instantly the natives set up a terrified shout. "It is even as ho said," they cried, "Those gods are his ministers' The white-faced Korong is a very great deity! He is indeed tno true Tn-Kila-Kila. Thoso gods liavo come for him. They are verv mightv. Thunder and

lightning and waterspouts are theirs. The waves do as they bid. Tho sea obeys them. They are here to takw our Tu-Kila-Kila irom our midst. And what will then become of the island of Honpari? Will it. not sink in the waves of the sea and disappear': Will not the sun in heaven grow dark, and i.ho moon cease to shed its benign light on the earth, when Tu-Kila-Kila the (Ireat returns at last to his own far country?" "That lot'll do for 'cm, I expect." tho captain said cheerily, with a confident smile. "Now forward all. 1 oys. 1 fancy we've astonished the natives a tritle." They rowed on steadily, but cautiously, toward the white bank of sand which formed the usual lnnuing-place, tho captain hoUang tho six-shooter in readiness all the time, an I keeping an eye firmly fixed on every movement of the savages. But the warriors in tho canoes, thoroughly cowed and overawed by this singular exhibition of the strangers prowess, paddled on in whispering silence, nearly abreast of the gig, but at a safe distance, as they thought, and eyed the advancing Eiiropeans with quiet looks of unmixed suspicion. At last tho adventurous young chief, who had advised killing Felix off-hand on the istantl. mustered up CO: rage to paddle his own canoe a little nearer, and Hung his spear madly in the direction of the gig. It fell short by ten yards. Ho stood eyeing it angrily. Hut the eaptain, grimly Uiot. raised his Winchester to his shoulder without one second's delay, and marking his man, fired at the young chief as he stood still half in the attitude of throwing, on the prow of his canoe, an easy aim for fire-arms. Tho ball went clean through tho savage's breast, and then rkoehetted three times on the water afar off. The young chief fell stone dead into the sea like a log. and sank instantly to the bottom. It was a ci itical moment. The captain felt uncertain whether tho natives would close round them in force or not. It is always dangerous to fire it shot at savages But the Honpari men were too utterly awed to venture on defen.-o. "He was Tu-Kila-ivila's enemy," they cried in astonished tones. "He raisod his voice against xhe very high god. Therefore, the verv high god's friends have smitten him with 1 heir lightning. Their thunderbolt wont through him. and hit the water beyond. How strong is their hand! They can kill from afar. They are mighty go.ls. Lot no man strive' to light against the friends of Tu-Kila-Kila." The sailors rowed and reached the landing-place. There, half of them, hoadod by the captain, disembarked in good or.ier, withdrawneut!asses,whilo tho other half remained behind to guard tho gig. under tho thir. ollieor. The natives also disembarked, a little way off, and, making humble signs of sudmission with knee and arm. endeavored, by pantomino, to express tho idea of their willingness to guide the strangers to their friends' juartors. The eantain waved them ou with his band. The natives, reassured, led the way, at same distance ahead, along t he paths through the jungle. Tho captain had his linger on his Bix-shooter tho while; every tailor grasped his cutlas and kept his revolver ready for action. i(I don't half like the look of it," tho captain observed, partly to himself. "They seem to be leading us into an ambuscade or something. Keep a sharp lookout against surprise from tho juuglo, hoys; and if any native shows light shoot hiin down in stantly. (,,. ,!,,. m,1 ,, ! spaco in the front, where a great group of savages stood in a circle, with serried spears, round a large wattled hut that o cupied tho elevated center of the clearing. For a minute or two the act ion of tho savages was uncertain. Half ol the defenders turned round to face the invaders angrily; the other half stood irresolute, with their spears still Jheld inward, guarding a white lino of sand with inflexible devotion. Tho warriors who had preceded them fro:n tho shoro called aloud to their friends by the temple in startled tones. The captain and sailors had no idea what their words mount. But just then, from the midst of the circle, an English voice cri?d out in haste: "Don't liro! Do not.ning itish! We're safe. Eon't be frightened. The natives are disposed to parley and palaver. Tako euro how you act. They're terribly af -aidof you." .Tust outside the taboo-lino tho, captain halted. The gray-headud old chief, who had accompanied his fellows to the shore, spoke out in Polynesian. "Do not resist the.:n,'' he said, "my poople. It you do, yo i will bo blasted by their lightning like a bare ba:i boo in a mighty cyclone. They carry thai oer in their hau ls. They aro mighty, mighty gods. The whitefacod Korong spoke no more than the truth. Let them do as they will with us. Wo are but their meat. We as dust beneath their son.', and as driven mulberry-leaves before the I reath of tho tempest." Tho defenders hesitated still a littlo. Then, suddenly losing heart, they broke at last at a point close by where tho captain of the Australasian stool, one man after another failing aside slowly and shamefacedly u pace or two. mo captain, uuiicsitaungiy, ovorstepped the white taboo line. Felix and Muriel were Next instant grasping his hand hard, and M. I'eyron was bowing a polite Parisian reception. Forthwith, the sailors crowded round thorn in a hollow square. Muriol and Felix, half faint with relief from their long and iinxinun sus-penso, staggered slowly down tiie seaward path between them. But there was no need now for further show of defense. Tho islanders, pressing near and Hinging away their weapons, followed the

It is an awful thing for any race or initio-1 when its tainms fail all at once, and die out. entirely. To the men of lloupi.ri. the Tu-Kiia-Kila of the moment represented both tho Moral Order and tho regular souencc of tho physical universe. Anarchy and chaos might rule when he was gone. The s in might lie qiu nched and the people run riot. "o wonder they shrank from the. fearful consequence that night next ensue. King and ! riest, god and religion, all at one fell blow were to bo taken atvay from them' Felix turned on the shore and spoko to them again. ".My people," he said, in a kindly tone for, after all, ho pitied thorn -"you need have no fear. Whet: I am gone, the sun will still sit i no ami the trees will still bear fruit every year as formerly. 1 will send messengers I promised from my Own land to teach you. I'ntil they come, 1 leave you this great Taboo. Tu-Kila-Kila eii:oinsit. Shed no human blood: eat no human Mesh. Those who do will be punished when another lire canoe conies from the far land to bring my messengers.'' Tho King of Fire bent low at tho words, "till, Tu-Kila-Kila,'' he said, "it shall b.i done as you say. Till your messengers eomo, every man s hall live a: pea e with all his neighbors." They step: ed into the gig, Mali and Toko followed before M. i'eyron as naturally as they had always follo wed their maste8 on the island before. "Who are these.-'' the Captain asked, smiling. 'Our Sha.lows,'" Felix answered. "Let them alone. I will pay their passage when 1 reached San Francisco. They have been very faithful to us, avid they are afraid to remain lest, tho isianuers should kill them lor letting ns go or for not ac. ompauying us." "Very well," the ( upturn answered. "Forward all there, boys. Now a'lead for the ship. And thank God, we're well out of it:" i!ut the islanders still stood on the shore and wept, stretching their hands in vain after t he. departing boat, and crying aloud in piteous tones: "Oh, my mother, come back! oh, very great gods, do not fly and desert us!" Seven weei.s later Mr. and Mrs. Felix Thurston, who had been married in the cathedral at Honolulu tho very morning the Australasian arrived t'.iorc. sat in an eminently respectable drawing room in a London square, where .Mrs. (Oil's, Mm-ie's aunt by marriage, wus acting as their hostess. "Hut how dreadful it. lit to think, dear." Mrs. Fills remarked for tho twentieth time since their arrival, with a deep-drawn sigh, "how dreadful to think t hat you and Felix should have boon ail those months alone on the island together without being married." Muriel looked up with a quiet srailo toward Felix. "I think, Auut Mary," she said, dreamily, "if you'd been there yourself, and suffered all thoso horrors that we diJ together, you'd have troubled your head very little indeed about such conventionalities, as whether or no: you happened to bo married. . . . Feides." she added, alter a arise, with a tine perception of tho inexorable stringency of Mrs. Grundy's law, "we weren't quite without chaperons, cither, don't you kcow; for our Shadowsof course, were always with us." Whereat Felix smiled an equally qmet smile. "'And terrible us it all was,'' he put in, "I shall never regret it, because it made me know how brave and trustful and pure a woman could be under such awful conditions." But Mrs. Eliis sat still in her chair and smiled uncomfortably. It affeetod her spirits. Taboos, after all. are much tho satuo in England as in lioupuri. THE END. The Cat Xot a Domestic- Animal. "I always thought a e:it was a domestic animal," aid a bright newspaper wo i.au, "but I am sat tiled that it is a thoroughly business animal. Wc have three cats in our office. One of them has her abiding place in the manager's o lice. You can sit down upon her reg'ularly any hour of the day if you have any business there. The other one is a restless, nervous sort of cat, and prowls about a: most everywhere in the office. When I stay into at night 1 generally fall all over her in dark corners, and she lias a s tiawk that would furnish fo d for a sensational item any where else. The third cat belongs to the compositors room. She has recently had a line family of kittens, and they were a source of the most frantic delight to all the printers. There was always an interested crowd about the box watching them crawling ub.iut and other inane and infantile proceedings of those small cats. As long as they had their eyes open and were not more than six inches long, the men had them out on the floor and were trying to induce them to play with strings, spools, balls, eve Therefore 1 think that while the c;t is often a failure as a domestic animal, it is a great success in t he haunts of business."

Old 'In!itJ-I.onr-I.ee., Almost every one is well acquainted with that extraordinary insect called daddy-long-legs," which makes its annual lirst -appearance in the month of May. lint every one does not know, what Mr. S. H. Scudder hus recently abundantly demonstrated, that this strange littlo creature, towering high ubove its fellows on its thread-like stilts, is probably, as its name may be thought to imply, a more ancient inhabitant of America than any representative of the human species. Far back in tertiary time, at tho verv dawn of the modern worH, its ancestors lived in great numbers in that part of the continent which we now c all Colorado. The fossil remains of these insects show the characteristic features that mark them to-day, although new species have taken the place o: tno old: for even dad.iy-long-legs knows what evolution is, and has attained to something that in his view is. perhaps, a kind of civilized existence suitable to tho exigencies of life in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries .Henry Vnlno Value of Hands and frlujrera, jin engineering journal has collated s-.ne interesting statistics from the tables of a German miners' insurance company. If a man loses both hands he is registered as entailing a 100 per cent. loss, in other words, he has been deprived of the ability to earn a livelihood. The loss of the right hand depreciates the value of an individual as a worker 70 to 80 iier cent., while tho less of tho left hand leaves him with only i'O to 70 per cent, of his original earning capacity. Tho thumb is taken as playing a part equal to 20 to lib us a bread winner: the first finger of the right hand is put at 14 to 1S per cent., that of the left hand at from 8 to 13.5 per cent., and the middle linger of either hand is worth from 10 to Hi per cent. The value of the third linger is put down as from 7 to ! per cent., while that of tho little finger is estimated at y to 12 per cent. Theso values may appear arbitrary, but is is explained t hat the apparent inconsistency in tho rating is occasioned by tho dillerences in the trades followed by the injured ones. Three Nairn and an Iuvertvd Baiuhow. Tho following is taken litorally word for word from a rare copy of the Brighton England) Advertiser of Juuo ti, 17:7: "A rare phenomenon is reported from St. Malo. Hocently during the afternoon, between the hours of 4 and 5, three perfect suns were seen all in a row above the Western horizon. The sky was very clear at the time, and there was no one who saw the unusual sight that believes it to have been a mirage or other atmospheric illusion. The central sun seemed moro brilliant than his two luminous attendants, and between tbo three there Boomed to be a communication in the shaj c of waves of light composed of all the prismatic colors. At about tho same time a rain bow n ado its appearance at a short dlstance above tho central sun, upside down: that is to say, the two ends pointed toward the zenith, and the bow's neck toward tho horizon." Slultlpll, utlou of tbe Typewriter, "Tho coming man will not write nearly so much as the man of this age," said Prof. Charles Whiteford of Philadelphia, at the Xorii.unuie, "and yet it must not bo inferred that tho art of penmanship is going to drop Into early desuetude. The cheaper typewriters becoa.e the less chirography there will bo. Professional men "of any standing rarely do any writing now, save, perhaps, to Indite their own signatures. In newspaper o.'lices three-fourths of the reportorial staff compose their 'stories' on machines, and not a few of tho more dignified editors have learned to play tho keys. Handwriting will linger a great deal longer in the country and smaller towns than in the big cities, lor tno .same reason that the candle and kerosene lamp linger longest in tho former localities.
