hk Coi.AwA DAILY MIMES, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1928 A New Absorbing Love Story of the Aire 'SEA WINGS' CHAPTER 1 "Men! Men!" LeFevre cried. "1 hate them all! He had arisen to his feet and angrily paced the floor, his hands clenched at his sides. Vanished in a second was his air of sauve self control. Ivor and Art, startled by the transformation, leaned forward im their seats, ready to spring on the man if he became violent: Gradually, Le Fevre's 1 changed, and at last he seated him- seli again before the fireplace, al- though Joan shrunk back as she saw the smoldering fires of hate still reflected in his eyes which had mar- rowed to slits during his passionate outburst. . They sat in silence for some min- utes. Ivor and Art relaxing again on the divan. After awhile, Joan ventured another question. "I wonder if we could have a few vegetables?" she asked, timidly, "We've had little but fruit and we're sick of it. Ii you'd ever tried eating bananas three times a day, you'd understand. J LeFevre nodded, and clapped his hands smartly . The pigmy woman quickly trotted to his side, bowing in obeisance. He spoke rapidly in a guttural language, apparently the native tongue. She bowed again and slipped swiftly from the room, "Make use of my. garden any time," LeFevre said. "I have more than I can use." He leaned for- ward to push a fresh log on the fire, and his shirt, open at the throat, billowed forward, revealing a peculiar mark on his chest. Joan, sitting at one side, saw the mark--a vivid red scar, and gazed at it curiously. Ivor and Art, seat- ed back of him, could not see it. It seemed to Joan to be a perfect circle, with a straight line bisecting it horizontally. LeFevre straightened quickly as he noticed Joan looking at him, and buttoned his shirt, "You must have known we. were down on the beach," the girl ven- tured. LeFevre nodded. "I did, but I had no desire for --company. I have quite enough to do up here. My gardens keep me busy. [I read, and now and then I talk to Kwana." "Kwana?" "He is the most intelligent pigmy [ have. I have taught him to spea English. I never speak French any more. 1 haven't since--well, for some years, Kwana's the only na- tive I've permitted to learn English. He's chief of the tribe." There were so many questions Joan wanted to ask. . . , so many things she wanted to know, yet the attitnde of LeFevre discouraged probing. Art broke an uncomfortable silence that had fallen on the group. "Have you gasoline here?" he ask- ed, pointedly. LeFeyre shook his head, "Have you any communication with the outside world?" ; "None. I don't want it. My ship comes, as I have said. Tt brings only what I have ordered five years before," No use to ask this man any ques- tions, , . , he would give them only such "information as he chose, Finally, Ivor arose. "Well, T guess we'd better be get- ting back to the beach," he sug- gested.

"Kwana, take Miss Wallace and her friends back to the beach. Mora has some vegetables, The native od Art had cleared the cigarette box of its contents and filled his pockets as LeFevre addressed the little black man. "Goodby," Joan called, as the three of them set out after their tiny guide. "Many thanks." LeFevre merely bowed as he stood silhouetted in the doorway of his cottage. The party moved silently f in the darkness, in close Indian file so that they could keep the dim shadow of their guide in view. At the top of the strange stairs, Ivor spoke to Kwana. "Tell us about your master, you?" The speech of the pigmy was halt- ing but understandable. "No, monsieur, He tell me no talk to you." "But we were only asking, Kwana," Joan broke in, slowly, "be- cause we want to find out whether your master will help us." Kwana shook his head. "No talk. He beat--if talk." "Sol" Art muttered, "That's the kind of a guy he is!" The next morning Joan awakened, anxious to talk with Brooks and Collins about their strange visit, On arriving at their camp after the journey homeward, none of them had had any inclination to talk, so they had promptly retired to their beds. She found the two men as puz- zled as she. Together, they went over everything that had happened. 'He didn't ask us to come back," Art grumbled, lighting one of the cigarettes he had taken from Le- Fevre's box. "No, but he probably will. At least it will be some comfort to have another white man on this island. forward will of a good meal" "I don't care if he never us again, I don't like him, Some- thing queer about him. Did you notice how angry he hecame when vou asked him, Joan, if he missed human contact, his kind of human contact?" Ivor put in, "Y.e-e-s. And that queer scar on his chest, It startled me. It was so livid for a minute, as if it were burning." The girl shuddered, in- voluntarily. "Well, I suppose we had better get to work if we are going to stay in this place another four years or so. 1 hope the duffer's wrong, though. How in God's name--how, will you tell me, did he find this island in the first place? have known this South Sea territory, When we go up there again we won't be so astonished we can't ask ques- tions." "But we did ask plenty of them, Ivor. He didn't answerg most of " : them," Joan broke in. "Well, I don't like the way he looks at you, Joan. The next time we go 'up .there, don't on any ex- cuse, leave the room, One of us will always be with you." a 4 A look of alarm crossed Art's usu- ally genial face. "Ivor, let's work like the devil on the house. We've got to get Joan's room finished so she'll be nearer us --and safer!" asks SUCCESS ments warrants expansion, Hotel and sures Its Success."

Ivor followed, and for a time in the fever of their work, LeFevre and his queer island kingdom were forgotten. Joan, as she began weaving a mat nimbly with her fingers, mused on what LeFevre had told them about the pigmies. A dying race. Not more than 50 of them on the whole island. He had said it so calmly, so circumspectly, as if it were some- thing that concerned him not in the least. § The footprints they had thought were children's, belonged to a race which had no children. How impassive the faces of the natives were! How like carved images of ebony, their eves deep set and large, their noses large with wide-sprea nostrils and lips straight, yet full. Coarse curly black hair, they had hair that stood up on their heads like black mops. Ut- terly unashamed, they walked about in their nakedness, the women with short sarangs wound tightly around them, the men with loin cloths only. Their bodies, while small, were splendidly developed, and the na- tives seemed agile and graceful and MH ICELERRL SEAMAN-KENT HARDWOOD JNelell])[¢ Carpet Getting Threadbare ?

How many--they probably never would know. He was so close- mouthed. Joan disliked LeFevre thoroughly. The cruelty of the man appalled her. For it was cruelty, to her mind, for him, a white man, an educated one at that, to let nearly three months go by before he made known his presence. They might never have known, unless they had found a passage to the plateau them- selves. But now that he had revealed himself, what would he do? The least he could do, she thought, was to ask them up to his house to live until his ship came. That is, if he had told them the truth about the ship. The girl was inclined to be- lieve that part of his story, for she felt his little luxuries could only be accounted for in that way. "Ivor!" she called suddenly. "Why didn't he ask us to live with him in that house, do you suppose?" "Would you have gone, Joan? We are much better off down here --by ourselves." "No, T wouldn't have gone, he might have offered." "He evidently doesn't want us™ "The next time we go up I'l ask him for some kettles and cooking utensils. I don't know why I didn't think of them whén we were there. It will make the cook- ing so much easier--and a lot betfer. "If he doesn't ask us in a dew days, I'll go up and see him for vou. It will give me an excuse to get up on the plateau.

T.--"Peppy" a bull (terrier owned by Charles G. Arend, appears to be lacking in apprecia- tion and the finer attributes such as gratitude and loyalty. "Peppy" has been deaf for 12 years, a fact that worried his kind master. Sev- eral days ago he read where a dog had been cured of deafness by a trip in an airplane, so he took "Peppy" to the Desplaines air field and employed an aviator to take the | dog aloft. The prescription callea for a nose dive at high altitude on the theory that the sudden shock would restore the hearing. Some difficulty was encountered ~etting 'Peppy' aboard and secure- ly belted to a seat. Pilot Jenkins went up so high that Mr. Arend could not see "Peppy" through his glasses and then he put on some thrilling dives and turns. Finally he swooped dewn at terrific speed, made a splendid landing and Mr. Arend hastened up to release the dog. "Peppy" leaped from the plane, a new dog, but with ven- geance in his eyes.
