Bum Charley said. pointing to a l’oonga-Poouga man whose shoulder had been scratched by an arrow an hour before. 'The boy was sitting down and groan- ing. his arms clasping his bent knees, his head drooped forward and rolling painfully back and forth. For tear of poison. Sheldon had immediately scari- tled the wound and injected perman- ganate of potash: but in spite of the precaution the shoulder was swelling rapidly. “We’ll take him on to where Tudor is lying.” Joan said. “The walking will help to keep up his circulation and scatter‘the poison. Adamu Adam, you take hold that boy. Maybe he will want to sleep. Shake him up. [1' he Ileep he die." The adr‘ance was more rapid now. for Blnu Charley placed the captive bushman in front or him and made him clear the runway of traps. Once, at a sharp turn where a man’s shoul. der would unavoidably brush against a screen of leaves. the bushman dis. played great caution as be spread the leaves aside and exposed the head or a sharp pointed spear. so set that the casual passerhy would receive at the least a nasty scratch.

LONDON A Romance of The South Seas no die!” The singing stopped. and the voice. faint and weak. called out a hello. Joan answered. and then the voice ex- plained: “I’m not wandering. I was Just sing- ing to keep my spirits up. Have you got anything to eat?" Tudor. having pulled through the fever and started to mend, was still frightfully weak and very much starv- ed 80 badly swollen was he from mosquito bites that his face was un- recognizable. Joan had her own oint- ments along and she prefaced their application by fomenting his swollen features with hot clothes. Sheldon. with an eye to the camp and the preparations for the night. looked on and felt the pangs of jealousy at ev- ery contact of her hands with Tudor’s face and body. Somehow. engaged in their healing ministrations. they no longer seemed to him boy’s hands. The morning’s action had been set- tled the night before. Tudor was to stay behind in his banyan refuge and gather strength while the expedition proceeded. On the far chance that they might rescue even one solitary survivor of Tudor’s party. Joan was fixed in her determination to push on. With Tudor. Adamo Adam and Arahu were to stop as guards. Binu Charley led the way. by proxy. however. for by means of the poison- ed spear he drove the captive bush. man ahead. They plodded on, pant- ing and sweating in the humid. stag- nant air. They were immersed in a sea of wanton. prodigal vegetation. Caught by surprise fifteen feet In the air above the path in the forks of a many branched tree. a bushman dropped hire a shadow, naked as on his natal morn. it was hard for them to realize that it was a man. for he seemed a weird jungle sprite, a goblin of the forest. Only Binu Charley was not perturbed. He dung his poisoned spear over the head of the captive at the flitting form. it was a mighty cast, well intended, but the shadow. leaping, received the spear harmlessiy between the legs and, tripping upon it. was dung sprawling. Before he could get away Binu Charley was upon him. clutching him by his snow white hair. He was only a young man and a dandy at that. his face black ened with charcoal. his hair whitened with wbod ashes, with the freshly severed tail of a wild pig thrust through his perforated nose and two more thrust through his ears. His only other ornament was a necklace of human finger bones. At sight of their other prisoner he chattered in a high querulous falsetto. with pucker- ed brows and troubled, wild animal eyes. He was disposed of along the middle of the line, one of the Poonga- Poonga men leading him at the end of a length of bark rope. Even as he spoke. from high over‘ head came the deep resonant boom of a village drum. But the heat was slow. Chere was no panic in the sound. The runway now became a deeply worn path. rising so steeply that several times the party paused for breath. “One man with a rifle could hold it against a thousand " Sheldon Whisper- ed to Joan. “And twenty men could hold It with spears and arrows." They came out on the village, sit- uated on a small. upland plateau. grass covered and with only occasional trees. There was a wild chorus of warning cries from the women. and spears and arrows began to fall among the in- vaders. At Sheldon's command the Tahitians and Poongaol’oonga men got into action with their rifles. The spears and arrows ceased. the last hushmen disappeared. and the tight was over aJ- most as soon as it had begun. On their own side no one had been hurt. while hair a dozen hushmen had been killed “Closeâ€" up he stop." Blnu Charley warned them in a whisper. “Poor brutes." Joan said “They act only according to their natures. To cut their kind and take heads is good morality for them." ‘ "But they should‘be taught not to take white men’s beads." Sheldon ab She nodded approval and said: “If we find one bead we’ll burn the vi]- lage. Hey. you. Charley! What fella place head he stop?” “S’pose he stop along devnvdevfl house." was the unswer. “That his fella house. he devilâ€"devil." It was the largest house In the vi]- lage. Into it they went.

His task. it seemed. was to tend the are, and. hung in the smoke. they found the object of their search. Joan turned and stumbled out. hastily. deathly sick. reeling into the sunshine and clutching st the sir for support. “See it all are there.” she called back faintly and tattered aimlessly on for I few steps. breathing the lit in greet drum and trying to forget the eight she had new.

Ancient and with cred. blackened by many years of the smoke of the devildevil house. never. theless the shrunken. mnmmylike face was unmistakably Chinese. How it had come there was the mystery. It was a woman’s head. and he had never heard of a Chinese woman in the his- tory of the Solomons From the ears hung two inch long earrings. and at Sheldon’s direction the Binn man rubbed away the accretions of smoke and dirt and from under his fingers appeared the polished green of jade. the sheen of pearl and the warm red of oriental gold. The other head. equally ancient. was a white man’s. and Sheldon wondered what forgotten becheâ€"der-mer fisherman or sandalwood trader had gone to furnish that ghast- ly trophy. taSK of tallying the heads. They were all there. nine or them. white men's heads. the faces of which he had been familiar with when their owners had camped in Berande compound and set up the paling boata Binn Charley. hugely interested. lent a hand. turn- ing the heads around for identification. noting the hatchet strokes and remark- ing the distorted expressions. Other heads. thoroughly sun dried and smoke cured. were found in abun- dance. hut. with two exception. they were the heads of blacks. “Me savvee black Mary. me aavveo white Mary." quoth Binu Charley. “Me no aavvee that fella Mary. What name belong him?" Telling Blnu Charley to remove the earrings and directing the l’oonga- Poonga men to carry out the old fire tender. Sheldon cleared the devllodevil house and set fire to it. Soon every house was blazing merrily. while the ancient tire tender sat upright in the sunshine. blinking at the destruction of his village. Every member of Tu- dor’s expedition was accounted for. and it was a long. dark way out of the head hunters' country. Releasing their two prisoners. who leaped away like startled deer. they plunged down the steep path lnto the steaming jungle. That night found them back in camp with 'I‘udor. and at high noon of the third day, traveling with the current and shooting the rapids. the expedi- tion arrived at Berande. Joan. with a sigh. unbuckled her revolver belt and hung it on the nail in the living room. while Sheldon, who had been lurking about for the sheer joy of seeing her perform that particular homecoming act, sighed. too. with satisfaction. But the homecoming was not all joy to him. for .loan set about nursing Tudor and spent much time on the veranda when he lay in the hammock under the mosquito netting. The ten days of Tudor‘s convales- cence that followed were peaceful days on Berande. The work of the plantation went on like clockwork. With the crushing of the premature outbreak of Gogoomy and his follow- ing all lnsuhordlnation seemed to have vanished. Twenty more of the old time boys. their term of service up. were carried away by the Martha. and the fresh stock of labor. treated fairly. was proving of excellent qual- lty. As Sheldon rode about the plan- tation acknowledging to himself the comfort and convenience of a horse and wondering why he had not thought of getting one himself, he pondered the various improvements for which Joan was responsible. There were times when he was dizzy l with thought of her and love of her. i when he would stop his horse and with closed eyes picture her as he had seen her that first day in the stern sheets of the whalehoat. dashing madly in to shore and marching belligerently along I his veranda to remark that it was pretty hospitality. this letting stran- gers sink or swim in his front yard. .

He was sure of several thingsâ€"first. that Tudor was not the right man for Joan and could not pos- sibly make her permanently nappy: next. that Joan was too sensible a girl really to fall'in love with a man of such superficial stamp. and. finally. Sheldon noticed, too. the way Tudor looked at her and followed her about with his eyes. and in those eyes he noted a certain hungry look and on the face a certain wistful expression. and he wondered if on his own face that Tudor would blunder his love 11mm: somehow And at the same mm. with true lover’s anxiety. Shel- don {and that the other might snme- how an to blunder and Win the girl with purely fortuitous 1M lu-oessfm meretricious show. The situation was very unsatisfac- tory and perplexing. Sheldon played the dlflicult part of waiting and look- ing on. while his rival devoted himself energetically to reaching out and grasping at the fluttering prize. He did not belong to Berande. and. now that he was well and strong again. it was time for him to go. instead of which Tudor had settled himself down comfortably. resumed swimming. went dynamiting fish with Joan. spent hours with her hunting pigeons. trapping crocodiles and at target practice with rifle and revolver. But there were certain traditions of hospitality that prevented Sheldon from breathing a hint that it was time for his guest to take himself on. And in similar fashion. feeling that it was not playing the game. he fought down the temptation to warn Joan. Had he known anything, not too serious. to Tudors detriment. he would have been unable to utter it. but the worst of it m that he I null-Human.
