Twenty-three ytars ago these islands were almost unknown to any one save a tow wandering indent and the ubiquitous New Redford whaler. But now, long are you eausw fronrthe ship's deck the snowy tumble of the surf on the roof, a huge wb mass, grim, square and ugly, will meet your eye—whitewashed walls or a ‘distressfni ghastllneas accentuated by doors and windows of the deadliest black. Thin cheerful orcresconce on the face of uuflcring nature is a native church“ The people have mostly assimilated themselves, In their manners and mode of life generally, to the new order of things limited by the fearful looking struc- tprp nicnsmenticned~that is to say, even as the 'l‘ongun and I'Ijinn, they have do- goncratcd from it fierce, hardy. warlike race into white slilrtod, . black coated saints. whose ideal of a lovely existence is to have ublic prayer twicea day on week- days antiV all day on Sunday. To them it is a good-thing to get half a dollar from the white trader for a sick fowl, which, when bought. will be claimed by another native, who will have the white man fined 03 for buying stolen property. Had the white titan paid Oi, lie bud done wisely; that coin aometimes goon far in the ’l‘okclnua. For instance. the truly unctnous native Christian may ask a dollar for two fowlc, but he will also lease out his wife fore similar amount. Time was, in tho Elllcea, when the un- due complainance of a married woman mount a sudden and inartistic compression of the jugular or a swift blow from the heavy ebony wood club of the wronged man. Nowadays, since the smug faced : native teacher hath shown them the right 2 way, such domestic troubles are condoned by Ol~—that is, if it be a genuine Anteri- cnn dollar—or two British ilorlus, for out- raged honor would not accept tho cast iron Bolivian money or the poor allvcr of Chile and Peru. And for II the tiative “Chris- tian" can all but pay for a nicely bound Bible, printed in the Stunoan tongue, and thus no doubt out of evil would come good, for he could by lill'flilil of his newly acquired purchase picture to his dusky mate the terrors that await those who look upon strange men and tupo fa' apupula (bright and shining money). But [want to tell about. Kennedy. Ken- nedy, the boat etot-rer be was called, al- though 20 years had passed and gone since that (lay at Wallis island when ho, a bright eyed, bronze faced lad, with the lighting blood of. the old Puritan Endicotta run-' ning like fire through hla veins, despite his New England bringing up, ran his knife into a shipmate's heart and tied for , ever from all white nasoclntions. Overa woman It was, and only a copper colored one at that; but then she was young and iicautliul, with dreamy, glistening, eyes and black, wavy hair, ornamented with a wreath of orange flowers and coil upon cell of bright hued sea-son berries strung together, hanging from her neck and roet- , lug upon her dainty bosom. - Standing at the doorway of his house looking over the placid waters at. tho ria- ing sun, Kennedy folds his bruwny arma; norms his bare, sun tanned chest and met tors to himself in his almost forgotten ' mother! tongue: "Twenty years, 20 years ago! Who would know me now? Even if I pInoardod my name on in back, and what I did. 'tain’t likely I'd haveto face a grand jury for running a knife into a mongrel Portugce, way out in the south sons, a score of years ago. lamnlul I paid a big price for her—20 yearn of wandering from Wallis island to the Bonins, and whomever I go thflb’ln- fernal story follows me up. Well, I'll risk it anyhow, and the first chance that comes along I‘ll out Kuunka life and drinking ship’s rum and go see old dad anti mum to home. Here, ’i‘ikena, you Tokoiau devil, bring me my teddy.” A native, clad in his grass titl, taku . from a wooden peg In the house wall two shells ‘of teddy, and the white wanderer takes due and drinks. - lie Is about to re- turn the other to the man, when two girls come up from1 the beach with their arms around each other'a waists, Tahiti faehlon, and one calls out with a laugh to “leave some in the shell." This is Laumnnu, and if there is one thing in the world that Jake 'Kcnnedy cares for above himself it is this tall-girl with the soft eyes and lithe figure. And he dreams of her pretty often, and curses fluently to think that she is be- yond his reach and is never likely to fill the place oi Tninmalu and her many suc- ceswrs. For Lautnanu is tnhu to a Nuiiao chief—that is, she has been betrothed, but , the Nultno man is 60 miles away, at his '. own island, and no one knows when he ,‘ ‘will claim his nv_aga. Then the girl gives ' him back the empty teddy shell, and, slyly pinching izla hand, rails away with her : mate, wharoupon the susceptible Kennedy, furious with long dimppointment, dings himseli down on his bed of mats, curses ‘ his luck and his unsuspecting rival at ‘ Nuitao. and finally dwidee not to luring a surprise on “dad and mum” by going. “burn" for a considerable number of years : income.

Lying there on hie mat, plotting how to gut possession of the girl, there comes to him it faint cry, gradually swelling In vol- ume until every voice in the village, from the full. aouoroua tones of the men to the shrill treble of the children blend together: “To vukn mote! To vakn motul" (A ehlp! A shipi”) Springing up. he strides out, and there, slowly lumbcrg'ng round the southwest cud of the little island, under cruising canvas only, he urea her. One quick glance shows her to be a whalor. in ten minutes Kennedy Is in a canoe, Ilylngovcr the reef, and in as many more alongside end on deck.

The Whaler wan to lie or and on all night, or until such time Mi Kennedy and the girl came aboard in a canoe. 'l‘o avert suspicion the captain was to remain ashore with his boat's crew to witness a dance, and if all went- well the white man was to be rib-mil before him with Lnumnnu and stow her away, In case any cancer mine off with the boat. The dance was in full swing when Keno nedy, stripped to the waist, with a heavy bag of money in hia left hand and a knife in his right, took along farcvvell of his , house anti..steppod out into the silent groves of cocoa palms. A short walk brought him to a halt. lagoon. 0n the brink he stood anti waited. until a trem- bling, voiceless figure joined him from out the depths of the thick mangroves. iland in hand they tied along the narrow. sandy path, till they reached the bench. just where a few unmounted thatched huts stood on the shingle. Between these. cov- ered over with cocoanut brunt-hoe, lay a come. Dcftly the two raised the light craft and carried it down to the water, that broke in tenth-r. rippling murmurs on the white stand. And. with llamnanu coat- ed for'nrd. gazing out beyond into the blackness before them, he urged the canoe scmrard with quick, nervous atmkes. Far away to the westward he could see the dull glimmer of the whuleahlp'a lights. The mate of the Knee: was leaning over the rail, drowsily watching the phosphor- escence in the water as the ship rolled gently to the ocean 'awell, when. a cry came from for'ard, "A heavy squall corn- Ing down, sir, from the land!" And it did come, with a swift, flercc rush, and so strong that it nearly threw the old whnlar over on her beam code. In the midst of the bum and rear of the squall, some one in the waist of the ship called out some- thlng about a canoe being alongside. The mate‘s comment wart brief, but vigorous, and the matter was speedily forgotten. Then the rain fall In torrents, and, u the ship was made snug, the watch got under shelter anti the mate went below to get a drink of rum and curse his captain for loailug ashore, watching naked women dancing. Three 'milea farther out a canoe wan . drifting and tossing about with outrigger ' carried away. Now and then, as the big . seciifted her. the stern would rise high out 'of the water and the sharp nosed whaleback for'ard go down as If weighted heavily. And it was—with a bag of dol- lars lashed underneath. When, In the early morning, the whaleshlp sighted the drifting speck, floating on the bosom of a now placid see, the thoughtful down east skipper, observant of the canoc's bows be- ing under water, lowered a boot and pulled over to it. He took the bag of rich lat-s. and, muttering smoothing about “rather thinking he was kinder acquainted with the poor man's people," not back to the ship and atwd away on his course In pursuit of his greasy vocation. And Kennedy and the girl? Go some night and watch the dark skinned people catching flying fish by the light of av lama torches. Look over the side of the canoe and see tirade swarms oft grim, gray devils of the tropic. seas, that ever and anon dart to the surface astho paddlcr's hands come perilously near the water, and wonder no longer as to the fate of Kennedy, the boat dearer, and hie Mahmud—sketch.
