"Hop Into a clean suit of ducks. Mac, and come along. tJib's goln’ to broach a little' keg of liquor and we'll make a night of it." “Good lord," groaned McGuffey, “does the man think I'm low enough to eat with niggers?" “I^eave him to his own devices," said Mr. Glbney, Indulgently. "Mac’s Just as Irish as If he’d been born In Dublin, Instead of his old man. No body yet overcome the prejudice of an Irishman so we’ll do the honors ourself, Scraggsy, old skittles, and leave Mac in charge of the ship." "Mind you're both back at a season able hour," warned McGuffey. "If you ain’t, I’ll suspect mischief and—say! Gib! Well, what's the use of talkin’ to a man with an imagination? Only if I have to go ashore after you two. those Islanders'll date time from my visit, and don’t you forget It.” Uj>on arrival at the beach the two adventurers were met by a contingent of frightful-bs»klng savages hearing long *|>ears. As the procession formed around the guests of honor and plunged into the hush, hound for the king's warl, two Island maidens marched behind the two sea-dogs, wav Ing huge pnim-leuf funs, the better to | make the (tassuge a issd and comfort able one. “By the god« of w«r. Glh. my dear hoy." said the delighted Captain Hcraggs "hut this Is class, eh. Glh?" “Kvery tln»e," resjMmded the cotniuo dote "If that chuckle-headed MHJuf- fey only had the sense to come along he might be enjoylu' himself, to**. You must lie dignified.

One might go on at great length and rieocrlhe the triumphal entry of Com modore fllhney and Captain Hcraggs Into the capltot of Kandavu; of how the king, an undersized, shriveled old savage, stock his bushy head out the Window of his bungalow when he sawr the procession coming; of how n mln- at Captain Scraggs, and Mr.-Glbney was suddenly aware that goose-flesh was breaking out on the backs of his sturdy ‘legs. He had a haunting sen sation that not only had he crawled Into u bole, but be had pulled the en tire aperture in after him.; For- the first time he began to fear that he. had been too precipitate, and with the thought It occurred to the gallant com modore that he would he much safer back on the decks of the Maggie II. Always crafty and imaginative, how ever, Mr. Glbney came quickly to the front with an excuse for getting hack to the ship. He stepped quickly to ward the little gpoup around the out raged royal ambassador, and Inquired the cause of the disturbance. Quiver ing with rage, Tabu-Tabu Informed him of what had occurred. Mr. Glbney’s rage, of course, knew no hounds. Nevertheless, he did not have to simulate his rage, for he was truly furious. When he could control his emotions, he requested Tabu-Tabu to Inform the king that he, Glbney, ac companied hv Captain Scruggs, would forthwith repair to the schooner and then and there flay the offending Mc- Guffey within an Inch of his life. Suit ing the action to the word. Mr. Glbney called to Captain Scraggs to follow him. and started for the beach. As Captain Scraggs arose, a trifle unsteadily, from his seat, a black hand reached around him from the rear and rinsed nvetN his mouth. Now. Captain Scraggs was well versed In the rough- nnd tiiiiitUe turtles of the San Kran- | dsco waterfront; hence,' when he felf 1 a long pair of arms crossing over his neck from the rear, he merely stooped and whirled his op|ionent over hla head. In that Instant Ids mouth was free, and clear ahmr the shouting and the tumult rose hla frenzied shriek for help. Mr. Glhney whirled with the speed and agility t»f a panther Juat la time to dodge ■ blow from a war club. Ills fist minded with the Jaw of Tahn- Tahu. and down want that savage as If |ade aied. Pandemonium broke looae at once. Captain Scraggs after hla single shriek for hrl|i. broke from the circle of sav age* and fled Ilka a frightened rabbit for the beach. One of the native* hurled a rock at him. The mlaaile took Scragga la the hark of the head, god he Instantly curled up In a heap. "Scraggsy's dead." thought the hW- rifled Glhney. and sprang at the klnK In that ni'imenf It came to Mr. Glhney to sell out dearly, and If be could dto |Mwe of the king, lie felt that Scragga death would he avenged In an Inatant the commodore's great arms had closed around the king, and with the helplewa monarch In hla grizzly bear grip Mr Glhney hacked up ajpHnst the nearest bungalow. A fringe of spears threatened him In front, hut for the moment he *a« safe behind, and the king s body protected him. Whenever one of the savages made a Jab at Mr. Glhney. Mr Glhney gave the king a boa constrictor squeeze, and the mon arch howled. "Ml squeeze him to death." panted Mr. Glhney to Tabu Tabu w hen that Individual had managed to pick hlru- T ■'McGuffey leaned against the gun. and for the moment he was as weak as a child.' “Gawd," he muttered, “that was Scraggsy ahd they’re a-goin’ to eat him up. Oh, Gib, Glh, old man, why wouldn’t you listen to me? Now they’ve got you, and what in blazes I’m going to do to get you back, dead or alive, I dunno." It was fully half an hour before poor McGuffey could pull himself together, and when he did, his grief was super seded by a fit of rage" that was ter rible to behold. “Step lively, you blasted scum of the seas,’* he bawled to the mate, and the crew gathered around the gun. “Lug up a case of ammunition and weil shell that bush until even a par-' rot won’t be left alive In It.” “Aye, aye, air,” responded the crew to a man, and sprang to their task. “I'm art old navy gunner." said the first mate quietly. “I’H handle the gun. With a ’pom-pom’ gun It’s Just like playing a garden hose on them, only It’s high-explosive shell instead of water. I cab search out every nook and cranny In the coast of this Island. Those guns are sighted up to 4,000 yards." . . . * j “Kill ’em all." raved McGuffey, “kltf all the blasted niggers." When Mr. Glhney fell under the !m* |»act of the earthenware pot he was only partially stunned. As he tried to struggle to his feet half a dozen hands were laid on him ami In a trice he was i lifted and carried hack of the warl to i a clear space where a dozen heavy | teakwond posts stood In a row about four feet a|»an. Mr. Glhney was quick ly stripped of hla clothing and iMHintl hand ami foot to one of Ihea* posts. Three minutes later another delega tion of -cannibals arrived, hearing the i limp, naked body of Captain Scraggs. | whom they hound In atmllar fashion to j the post healde Mr. G|hner. Scragga wa* very white and hlnndy, hut con- • ■clou*, and hla pale blue eye* were , flickering like a anake'a. “Whaf*—what's—the mean In' of tbU. Glh?" he gasped.

Adalbert I*. Gllmey across the face. There was a roar, as of an explosion .In his ears, and lie fell forward on his face. He had a confused notion that when he fell.the post came with him. For nearly a minute he lay there, semi-conscious, and. then something warm, dripping across his face, roused him. He moved, and found that his feet were free, though his hands were still bound to the post, which lay ex tended along his back. He rolled over and glanced up. Captain Scraggs was shrieking. By. degrees the bells quit tinging In the commodore’s ears, and this'is what he heard Captain Scraggs yelling: “Oh, you McGuffey. Oh. you bully Irish terrier. Soak It to ’em, Mac. Kill the beggars. You’ve got a dozen of ’em already. Plug away, you good old hunk of Irish bacon." Mr; Glhney was now himself cince more. He struggled to his feet, and as he did, something burst ten feet away and a little fleecy cloud of smoke Ute later he advanced Into the space i up. In the center of hla wart, where lu the , king.” T^»t me go, or lil kill your The answer was an earthenware pot which crashed dowp on Mr. Glhney’a head from a window In the bungalow behind hire. He sagged forward and fell on his face with the gasping king In his arms.

On hoard the Maggie II B. McGuffey, Tabu-Tabu acted as Interpreter and ! Ksquire, had Juat gotten Into position everything went swimmingly until Tabu-Tabu, his hospitality doubtless strengthened by frequent libations of the Kllxlr of Life, begged Mr. Glbney to Invite the remainder of his crew ashore for the feast. Mr. Glhney, him self rattier Illuminated by this time, thought it might not be a Imd idea. “It’s a rotten shame, Scraggsy," he said, “to think of that fool McGuffey not bein’ here to enjoy himself. I’m goln’ to send a note out by one of Tabu-Tabu’s boys, askin’ him once more to come ashore, or to let the first mate and one or two of the sea men come if Mac still refuses, to be civil.” "Good idea, Glh,’! aidd Captain Scraggs, His mouth full-of roast chick en and yams. So M r . Glhney tore a leaf out of his pocket memorandum book, scrawled a note to McGuffey, and handed It to Tabu-Tabu, who at once dispatched a messenger with it to the Maggie TL Within half an hour the messenger returned. He was wildly excited and poured a torrent of native gibberish Into the attentive ears of Tabu-Tabu and the king. He pointed several times to the point of his jaw, rubl>e<! the small of his back, and once be touched his nose; whereupon Mr. Gilv ney was aware that the said organ had a slight list to port, and he so lip fonned Captain Scraggs. Neifher*-of the gentlemen had the slightest trou ble In arriving at the correct solution of the jnystery. The royal messenger had been Incontlnenliv kicked over board by B- McGuffey, Ksquire.

McGuffey had m- Captato Kcragga hung his head and I mpld-Are gen trained on the warl. and quivered like a hooked fish. "Will they—eat—ua?" he quavered. Anally. ' Mr. Glhaey dut not answer, only Captain Scraggs looked Into hla hor rifled oyea and read the venMft. “Die game. Kcraggsv." was aU Mr. Glhney eopld say. “Don’t show the white feather." “D’ye think McGuffey could hear from here If we was to yell for help?" Inquired Captain Rcragas hopefully. "Donl yelp, for Gawd's sake." Im plored Mr. Glhney. "We got ourselves Into this, ao let'a pay the fiddler our selves. If we let out one yip and Mc Guffey hears It. he’ll come ashore with his crew and tackle this outfit, even If he knows he'll get killed And that's lust what will hap?>en to him If he comet.

But right now Mac’s mad ns a wet hen, and If we holler for help—Scraggsy, please don’t holler. Die game." Captain Scraggs turned his terrified glance on Mr. Glhney’s tortured face. Scraggs was certainly a coward at heart, but there was sbmethlng In Mr„- Glbney's unselfishness that touched -a spot in his hard nature—a something he never knew he possessed. He bowed his head and two big tears stole down his weatherbeaten fare. “God bless you, Glb‘, my dear hoy,*’ he said brokenly. “Y'ou’re a man.” \ At ihls Juncture the king came n and thoughtfully felt of Capta Scraggs ip the short ribs, while Ta Tabu ealcplated the precise amofint of IuboIcAis tissue on Mr. Giljney’s \y«H the savage* with frightful yell*, were fleeing madly from the little shells Half a dozen of them lay dead and wounded rioa* he. "Hooray," yelled Mr. Glhney. and dashed at the poat which held Captain Scragga prisoner. He struck It a pow erful blow with his shoulder and .Scragga and the post crashed to the gWound. In ztr Instant Mr. Glbney was on hts knees, tearing at Scraggs rope shackles with bis teeth. Five minutes later, Captkln Scragga’ handa were free. Then Scraggs did a like service for Glbney. All thk time the shells from the Mag- 'gle If were bursting around them every second or two. and It seemed as If thqy must be killed before they could make their eH<*ape. As I they tore along through the Jungle path Mr. Glhney’a good right eye (his left was obscured) detected two savages crouching behind a clump of coco palms. “There's the king and Tabu-Tabu.” yelled Scruggs.

He pointed dumbly to the beach, and there, pad dling pff to the Alaggie II,were two naked cannibals an.d two naked white men in a canoe. Five minutes later they came alongside. McGuffey .met them at the rail, and he smiled and licked his lower lip as the trembling monarch and his prime minister, in re sponse to a severe application'of Mr. GLbney’s hands and, feet, came flying over the rail.

McGuffey surveyed his superior offi cers, cursed them bitterly, and re marked, with tears of joy in his hon est eye’s, that both gentlemen had evaded their just deserts when they escaped with their lives.. “If it hadn’t been for the mate,” said McGuffey se verely, “I’d ’a’ let you two boobies suf fer the penalty for your foolishness.
