Barbara Is adventurous, and has planned, with an aunt, an airplane trip to Australia. Major Alan Croft, famous as an aviator, le to be the pilot. At her first meeting with Croft Barbara is attracted by his manner and conversation, different from the cut-and-drled conventions of her cimall town. They set out, Barbara, her aunt. Croft, and a mechanician. Word In a few days comes to Darbury that the plane is missing and its occupants believed lost. Croft and Barbara, after the wreck of the airplane in a furious storm, reach an apparently uninhabited Island in the Pacific ocean. The other two members of the party had perished. The two castaways build a shelt^f. In Croft's absence Barbara Is attacked by a cannibal. Croft rescues her. Croft discovers a party of blacks, evidently reconnolterlng. Croft Axes up an electrical guard which scares off an attacking party. Secure from Immediate danger. Croft and Barbara settle down to make the best of thlnga Croft already has recognized the charm of the girl and fears the outcome of their situation. PART TWO--Continued. Strangely embarrassed, Barbara hesitated, uncertain whether to go or stay. 8hp was In the act of turning away, when he lifted his head and saw her. For a moment both were silent In ids face was the look she had seen there on the morning after the wreck. He rose to his feet; and, conquering her embarrassment, she went toward 'Mm. "What Is It?" she asked earnestly. - He looked down into the misty blue 40es raised, full of• shy sympathy, to Ms face. "What Is It?** he repeated. "H--1! ' That's what It Is." He stooped to pick up the fruit. "What are you doing here? Going to bathe?" * ,S"I was," she replied, hesitatingly. • ^But--don't go. Can't we sit down and Ihflk? It--It's so lonely." . HA gain he looked down into her eyes, gjtmost hungrily. Nothing she could ltave said could have hit the mark with surer aim. But he clenched his bands and put them behind him. She gave a quick look at his gloomy ffece, threw pride to the winds, and fCunged with her old impulsiveness. "Can't we be--friends?" slie asked. He remained silent, with hands stlli clasped at his back, watching her curl- Ill "I thought you did not wish It," he remarked artaSt. She sat down upon a rock*, -abstractedly picking out bits of the moss Which covered It "I--I've--forgotten that--" She paused, flushing. "If--we shared our thoughts more, things might not seem fhlte so bad," she suggested. ~ The ghost of a smile moved his lips. "Ton shall have more company soon. We are going to visit the natives. I have sent a message to the chief." "About what ?" "To come to see me and be prepared If conduct us back to their settlement. '£o make friends." "Friends! Those savages--*" "It's necessary. They leave us alone Bow through fear, which probably won't last. They will hate what they fear; and In time oply the hate may femeln. That's not the right keynote for a happy life here;- Is it?" ife =4ooked quietly up at her, with a smile {foil of hidden meaning. "NT>." She flushed a little; then Jfave a dreary laugh. "But I can't wnaglne what could be. In these cirfresh interest awakened in her companion. As she lowered herself into the shimmering ripples, She resolved to follow up this talk, to press through this thin piece of wall; and, by a process of subtle siege, win the friendship whtch all at once seemed extremely desirable. But, as usual, disappointment met her efforts when next she assailed the wall. The gap proved to be firmly patched up, even barred across. It was impregnable. Baffled, she could only finger the bars and wonder. . . . The old chief appeared, keeping a safe distance, soon after receiving the white man's message. But an outbreak of sickness was raging in the settlement; therefore, much to the girl's relief, their visit was postponed. Having ascertained from him that no trade was carried on with other Islands, that no ships came to the south. Croft threw himself with renewed zest into the building of a new hut. As If to drown all thought, he worked incessantly, sometimes moodily silent, sometimes seeming keenly to enjoy the new comradeship tliat had established Itself, little by little, between them. A month or more passed before the native chiefs wrinkled black face appeared {(gain, two warriors in attendance. Croft thrusfa hand "through her arm, when they Joined the natives; and again she was conscious of the old magnetic stimulation of his personality, which had sustained her durlqg the first terrible nights and days. Humstunces. "Can't you?" He looked away at the Water tumbling over the huge bowlder, matching here and there flashes of sunlight through the network of branches Overhead. "You were going to find out all about that, in eingwded cities; weren't you?" "About what?" • --- "What the keynote Is which you iiave found missing to the vast harmony of creation." She glanced at him to plefffctf surprise. "How nicely you express it! I never realized it so clearly as that; It was all vague. Yes. I suppose that Is what I felt. It's strange, but I haven't'felt It so much here." 8he watched him collect his fruit. "Have you found the keynote^* she asked boldly. j He looted at her for a moment thoughtfully; then answered, guardedly: "I know what it is. And I have only fully realized its necessity since -- coming here! We all use substitutes out in the world. It t,aa a lot of VI Fear and curiosity formed lhe chief elements of the unusual animation In the natives' settlement. Great bustle of preparation was In progress--spearing of fish, gathering of fruit, by men; while the smoke of many fires, ascending into the still air, indicated the occupation of the women. Had not the chief ordered unlimited feasting to pacify the stomachs, music to delight the senses of the Terrible Ones? Balhuaka. the stone god, looked incongruous among garlands of trail-, Ing vine and the feathery leaves of tfee ferps. Before him stood the sacrificial table--a massive tree trunk stripped of its bark, upon which was piled a heap of dried sticks and undergrowth. Balhuaka ever demanded a sacrifice at full moon, and the moon was now at the full; and the people trembled, for the selection had*been reserved for the Great White Chief, and who could tell what ruthless cruelties he might no: exact ? Meamaa sat by her sick child and wept. People shunned her hut, although It was not yet proclaimed taBu. She knew well what was In their minds. With no superficial civUUi&tfon causing them to* hide their natural In stiTict of self-protection, they openly hailed this possible substitute for an offering. Some of her friends even taunted her with tlielr hopes. If she appeared outside. "A^aa! a-aa ! Weep, Meaman I The little one Is with thee for the day; but, a-aa! with the setting of the sun he shall become as the smoke curling up to the nostrils of the Great White Chief! Weep, Meamaa!" Yet she was one of themselves, and the child a favorite. She thought none the worse of them: they knew not the art of wearing double-faced masks. Meanwhile, the dreaded visitors were being escorted with some dignity through the Intricacies of the thick inland vegetation. Although obviously terrified, the old chief bore himself well, maintaining a natural dignity with his humility. Chlmabahoi, emboldened by a friendly overture, put Into words a question which had long troubled him. "Where dwell thy tribe, O Mighty Chief?" he Inquired, with some trepidation. "No white warriors were visible around thy dwelling upon* the coral shore. Do they, perchance, live In the rocks, or In boles deep within the earth?" For a moment the other was mystified. Then, remembering the natives' with the situation, Alan stretched out a regal hand. "Peace, O Chief 1 Have no fear! They will not touch thee without my command. "I and my tribe would be friendly to thee and thine. Why hast thou been hostile unto us? Why has thou so tempted the wrath of the gods who sent us hither, by greeting us with spear and arrow?" * Chlmabahoi beat his breast, looking fearfully at Croft "It was the Vow," he said 111 1 low tone. . 'The Vow? What vow?" . "The Vow of Vengeance--of Hate!" The old man rose, and walked to and fro, feverishly pulling his beard, obviously laboring under some strong emotion. At last he paused opposite them, and they saw tear* upon his wrinkled black cheeks. "Hearken, Great Chief!"' he said. "The white man came before, not many summers past. He came in great numbers, and he kill! A-aa ! He let loose his magic, and he kill most of my tribe with his smoke! It hit them, making holes, leaving little hard ball-devils behind. Our homes were near thine own, even In the huts beside the waving palms. They also were shattered by the smoke and Its ball-devils. My warriors lay dead, bleeding on the ground. Our women also, our little ones, they spared not!" He paused, overcome, for a moment. Croft sat listening intently, with dawning comprehension. "How did they come?" he asked. "The lagoon was black with strange canoes. Great Chief. Beyond, near the big gap In the reef, floated an Island. . . . A-aa I a strange sight, filling the bravest with fear--" He stopped, again overcome, and turned away. Hastily Croft Interpreted this conversation to the girl. "Didst thou attack these white'men first?" he asked. The old man shook his head.- "We feared their arrival! We but gathered together, outside our houses, to see the "Thou Hadst to Learn the Fear of Us . and Our Wrath." wondrous sight. The band of Death has been heavy upon us, and we were small in number, even then. That day, less than half were left alive. . . . My s o n s w e r e a l l s l a i n . . . . "The d>--d murderers!" Chlmabahoi looked up, startled by this burst of vehement English. Croft controlled his indignation, making further inquiries, which elicited the answers lie expected. "They were all men," the native told him. "After they had killed, they fled away to their canoes. They were covered with dark clothing, each like unto each. When they spoke, they spoke strangely--here." he stroked his gers through his hair, watching Chlmabahoi thoughtfully. "And thy Vow was of vengeance upon all white men?" "Even so. Great Chief." "H'ml . . His fertile brain speedily conceived a plan which, if wild, was yet founded on fset "Chief," be began confidently, "those white men who murdered thy sons •vers &u enemy tribe waging war against my tribe. And their ways were treacherous, their weapons terrible !** Chlmabahoi was unusually Intelligent for a native. Quick to grasp the moaning of this stranger, who spoke a dialect so much resembling his own, a flash of comprehension leapt into his eyes. "And they came hither thinking to find thee here. Great Chief, so that they might slay tliee?" A smile lit up Croft's faqe. If not strictly accurate, this surmise would suit his purpose admirably. "Even sol And, seeing thy tribe of a different hue, they were filled with fear and cried, saying ,'Let us slay them'"--he had a vague Impression of Biblical eloquence, but It translated very well--"And they slew all thy sons In their fear; then ran to their boats. For their hearts are as the fermented breadfruit long stored In a pit." Pausing to refresh his oratory, he proceeded to picture their mutual enemy In lurid colors, assuring the chief of their downfall. This gave him another Inspiration. "The gods sent us hither to tell thee that thy Vow of Vengeance bad already overtaken tffis tribe;" he announced coolly. "But, because thou earnest against us, we could not carry out our mission. The gods were angered, therefore, and visited thy tribe with sickness. Thou hadst to learn the fear of us and our wrath. Therefore, Chief, see that thou and thine fall not again into sin by lifting thy hfttnds against us, the friends of all the godsI" This flow of eloquence made a tremendous impression upon Chjmabahol. His relief was intense. That this godlike pair, with tlielr wonderful powers, had come upon a mission of peace and friendship, Inspired visions of renewed prosperity in his simple mind. Coming closer, he prostrated himself at their feet, In submission. After this they set forth again. It was no longer difficult to make Chlmabahoi talk. His delight was almost childlike, resulting in a garrulity difficult at times to understand. But Croft realized that the little tribe, with the natives' melancholy sense of fatalism, had become convinced of Its extinction, this conviction producing Inertia. Apparently all attempts at cultivation had ceased, with all forethought for future generations. When they emerged from the southern end of the forest, the little colony of huts came Into view. "The huts are deserted," Barbara Observed. "Where is everybody?" "Dressing for dinner, perhaps," he suggested lightly. "Oh, lord I I am dry. And they won't supply a whisky and soda I Celestial life lias Its draw* backs." "I wonder what they wear?" "Who? Gods?" "No. The natives--for dinner." He gave a shout of laughter, causing Cliiinabahol to Jump with fright. "Oh, Just a reed or two, maybe. What we may come to, yet." . Barbara said no more.

"My tribe," lie explained equivocally, "!s ever present; It ever surrounds us! Armed and ready at any moment to come to our aid, it waits, though invisible to mortal eye. Earthly habitation is not necessary foe the White Chief's warriors." The old native glanced ahout uneasily, a look of alarm overspreading his face His sense of drama rising what lying therein." This vivid description of the Teutonic tongue convinced bis listener. "Ha! The d--d Huns! I thought as much." He again interpreted for the girl at his side. "Now let me .think. We must turn this to our advantage. It proves what we talked about that evening by the river; doesn't It? The effects of our 'civilized' war were felt even here!"

"Is It all very dreary for you--here? Do you bate it so much?" There was a wonderful, unusual gentleness In his voice-:--an undercurrent of something, almost yenrnlng, which touched her unaccountably.

A hoard of Swift anecdotes recently unearthed Includes the illustration of the dean's mania for closed doors. Swift's housekeeper hired his servants, but when they came into his employ he always told them there were only two rules to observe. One was always to shut the dogr after entering a room, the other, alwuys to close the door after leaving the room. "On one occasion a maid .asked the dean's permission to attend her sister's wedding, when he not only gave his permission, but lent her a horse upon which to make the Journey, and another servant to accompany her. In the excitement of the moment the unfortunate girl forgot to close the door after her, and Swift, allowing time for her to get well away upon her journey, sent another servant posttrembling the poor girl presented herself before the dean, asking him what he wanted her for. 'Only to shut the door,' was the reply, 'after which you can resume your Journey.'" Famotu Roman Monument Trajan's column la a superb marhle column In Trajan's forum at Rome, erected In 114 A. D., by the senate and the Roman people, to commemorate the victories of Emperor Trajan (tf8- 117 A. D.) over the Dactans. the Kan sas City Times tells us. It Is 132 feet high and about 12 feet In diameter and Is constructed of. 34 blocks of Carrara marble, adorned with sculptures In bas-relief. The summit, which Is reached by a spiral staircase of 185 steps, was originally surmounted by a colossal gilded statue of the emperor; but this, having fallen to the ground, was replaced by Pope Slxtus V in ihe Sixteenth century with one of St. Pe- Tlie cause of the deserted appearance of the place was soon clear. Chlmabahoi led his guests around the western outskirts of the little settlement, toward the belt of verdure reaching down on that side almost to the lagoon. Here, in a large clearing used for council chamber, with carpet of moss, walls of lofty trees, roof frescoed with blue dfcd green tracery, was assembled apparently the entire tribe. Upon the white chiefs appearance a walling murmur arose, interspersed by the occasional frightened cry of a child. At a shout from their chief, they all fell upon their faces. Three times they raised their bodies, swaying backward, then down again to the earth. After the third obeisance they rose to their feet, eying the strangers curiously, fearfully. While the old chief launched Into a lengthy oration, and as she watched the varying expressions upon their faces, it dawned upon Barbara that these might be henceforth, the only human beings In her life! This appalling probability shocked her, as she realized It, with almost the effect of a sudden, reeling blow. Shuddering, she turned from the small dusky bodlef and looked at Croft's fine physique His head was averted, his attention en tirely engrossed by Chlmababol's gabbling speech. Conscious of mental nausea, like on* drowning, she clutched at the only remaining link with life--the companion destined to the same fate. For the first time in her life she called lilm by name, grasping his arm: "Alan r Quickly he turned. In astonishment. "We may flfever see any other human beings!" she gasped. With his usual swift penetration he understood, by the desperation In her voice and eyes, the overwhelming horrors raised by this thought. For a moment he hesitated; then, pulling her hand down Into his, he clasped it c'ose, saying nothing. At his reassuring touch the awful loneliness faded gradually, as the autumn mists when the sun breaks through. A sudden outburst of exultant cries rent the air. The lengthy eulogy came to an end at last. The pathetic relief In every swarthy breast manifested Itself In wild leaps and Jubilant shouts. Croft, like Mr. Micawber. was not slow* In seizing an opportunity for eloquence. Raising his free hand to com mand silence, he glibly reeled off other duties assigned to him. It wad. he stated confidently, the gods' desire that he and his wife should live upon the Island to assist the tribe In the recovery of Its strength and prosperity. This provoked more uj* roarlous shouting. Beauty of Color, Fineness of • pattern, Character!!* Fabrics. s;;". • Th« sweeping vogue of printed materlals, of printed silks most conspicuously, suggested much of the romance that surrounds their making. Long ago, writes a fashion correspondent In the New York Times, as far away In the dim past as silk weaving was first known, its lustrous surface was printed with patterns of various sorts, primitive In the earliest creating, but growing In artistic Importance as the handicraft was perfected. In those early days of hand looms, of wonderful dyes, of long hours and of Infinite Industry, the designs conceived by artists were blocked by hand, and there was none other than hand-printed silk. It was worn by the nobility and by the peasants, there being between the two the difference of quality only. Later, through the years when other styles have engaged the attention of a fashionable public, printed silk has come and gone in waves. Brocades and Embroidered stuffs have had each a vogue from time to time as high lights In luxury. Prints have seemed somehow to belong especially to the Indian and the Portuguese cottons that are so much used In modern schemes of interior decoration. Occasionally a wandering gypsy wearing a printed square about her shoulders has flashed a hint of Its picturesque beauty, and from Paris have been received now and then odd frocks and blouses made of silk of the old-time surah, or "China silk," type, printed wltt^ a Persian pattern. Last year printed dress silks, crepes and chiffons were Introduced as a standard of style, though they were accepted with some caution by the leading couturieres , of Paris, and found but a timid audience on this side. This season they have carried over and are to be absolutely the 'accepted mode. Replace the Bold Patterns. With printed silk assured of an eS> tabllshed vogue, both the designs and the colors are new. and artistically significant. The sensation of the first presentation of the fabrics was, of course, the Prints Ferronnlere, Inspired by "The Ironmaster," Brandt, designer of the famous doors of the Verdun Memorial monument, reflecting the modern art spirit as It is translated Into silk. To speak in the language of silk merchants, these prints, the importance of which grows In appreciation, emphasize. In their composition, motifs In the graceful "tendril" and "coquette" In the delicate tracery of large patterns. Brilliant and warm as the original design, they have an added beauty of warmth and color and are develcped In the "Camalon" color principle of the season and In the dominant color schemes. A startling bit of this type in Illustration, Is a Jacquard tinsel brocado reproducing a Brandt balustrade. Apart from this sensation In design, fineness and exqulslteness are the characteristics of the latest prints, replacing the bold patterns,* motifs and color schemes of last season's styles, which were distinctly Oriental. With this radical difference from past styles, these ideas In design are presented In models from the best authorities In Paris. They are from those creators who knew well the origin, the Ideal and the adaptation of the frock built of printed silk. To quote from an authority: "Plaids supplant the travers. Geometric designs with dotted effects take the place of large Oriental motifs. An Interesting new technique, the *Gravure' .influences several groups of prints. Three-tiered effects, borders and stripes are very popular. Bold plaids with squares of large octagonals and dots and those In cross-stitch patterns are among the striking novelties. The trend toward the Dlreetolre, illustrated in Btriped silks-- 'rayures,' as the Importers call thecals shown In delicately proportioned affairs, echoing the sophistication of the period and the delicate note la the newest prints. "Another Innovation Is the border and the scheme In which half the width of the silk is printed In s design wholly different from the other half. Thla difference la effected quite subtly by a variation In the background, one-half being done on a dark ground, the other half. In the exact design, being printed on a lighter ground. Occasionally an eccentric Is shown, such as a geometric print having vertical lines la one half of the goods and slanting lines In the other. These are especially clever la their adaptable possibilities, for . they may be used In a variety of ways la dress designing and in trimmings."*. An Array of Designs. Variants in design are almost without limit The time-honored and well-beloved polka dot is presented la entirely new arrangement. It Is never. In the new silks, printed In regular spaces as heretofore, but Is done with unusual flexibility 9nd originality of pattern. There are prints havtag Black Felt Crepe With Printed Design In Red and White. three tiers of dots in successively Increasing size, and those In which open and solid dots are combined. There are octagonal dots, regular plaids formed of very large dots and dots so placed as to form a border. Another style of printed silk has s name traceable to the Grand Prix ball in the other side, very showily illustrated by the picturesque name of "El Garoon." This Is a flashy pattern in which the Spanish influence Is apparent, In yellow, red and +he copper tones. Much Is due to the Inspiration bad from Snaln In both design and color in these most decorative prints. ^ Many Colors Are Used In Patterns showing all-over tiny figures are In reality produced from a design originally bold and swinging. All of these printed in one color on half the width of the fabric, in another color on the other half, offer the most intriguing possibilities to an ingenious couturlere, for the architecture of a gown may thus be varied in many ways. Almost all of these patterns In color are printed on a "blond" or "rose" ground. In contrast to the reds and browns and yellows, with a perfect erase for red In all of Its possible shades, some exceptionally beautiful silks are shown In pervenche blue, the design usually traced on a lighter ground, which presents It sharply. This blue Is especially successful In the wash silks, and In the printed patterns shares the popularity of copper red, tomato red and the cyclamen pink. Modistes and smart shops predict a "red" season, introducing many shades and sorts of red and endless combinations on a "blond" back ground.' "Tolle de Sole Cinderella" is the name of a different weave that is printed Is many artistic designs, generally of floral type, a charming fabric for elaborate afternoon and evening gowns suitable for late spring or summer. A ribbed silk shown both plain and printed bears the original names "Cote Dolphin" and "Cote Triton." The novelty, beauty and artistic significance of these printed silks are absorbing, for the moment, the attention of the Paris creators and among the best style designers In this country. And It has become known that while they are of French authorship, originally, they have been adopted by American skill as now presented to the world of fashion and are an altogether American product which the Parisians are themselves taking over. Four Popular Colors Four colors appear and reappear In all sorts of combinations when topcoats or ensemble suits are in question. One favorite is black, trimmed with squirrel or some other light fur. The other colors jj:e shutter green and rust.

It Is a good plan not to run the seam In the sleeve until after the sleeve has been basted In the garment.

Many otherwise faultless dresses have been ruined In this way. To mark the notches designated use thread of s different color from the material. In cutting a sleeve, the pattern should be placed so that the grala of the material will run straight from the shoulder seam. The front and the back of a garment should be marked by running a thread of contrasting color from top to bottom.
