"A pagan," says Novarro. who as the half-native Henry Shoesmith, Jr., of the Tahiti isla:1ds has a ravishing role, (jis one whose onlY God is nature and whose only la\\: is loYe !" That, in the case of the half-garbed, half-native boy, means passing the long, sunlit days under the blue skies, without a thought of money or other J)erplexities which bother civilization. It mean.; also pleasant friendship with all persons and at last, an overwhelming loye for Tito, a pretty child. Tito's guardian. a cruel, hypocritical sort of white man, has design.; on his own ward as well as on everything else. Through courtesy. the pagan gives him the v..·ealth of his cocoanut trees, btlt when the rapacious J oranson (the guardian) endeavors to depriYe the pagan youth of his htiO\·ecl. a battle royal begins. This i·.;; the exciting part of the story. The scenery of (jThe Pagan" is said to be a treat.

Just when he has fallen in love with a fello\\· pas'3enger. he finds he is supposed to be demented, and has a strict mu1r nurse who makes him g-o to bed. and "·ho feeds him nothing but goat's milk.
