looked upon as a first prize, the head
of Pe-pe-hoan is regarded as a
close second.
The head hunter Is patient. For
weeks and months he follows his
prey. and plans his raid. From an
ambush on the hilltop he watches his
victims. for he isn't a man who is
fond of a fair. standup fight If it can
be avoided. He learns when the far
mer goes into the field, and the time
when he is farthest from his home.
He finds out the defense Of the vii
lagos; which one is the weakest, and
therefore Will be the best to attack.
And he never fails to keep away from
a foe stronger than himself.
All that the head hunter need carry
is spear to kill, knife to cut and a
bag to put the head in. The spear is
twenty feet long, Of bamboo, and has
an iron, arrow-shaped head eight inch
es long. The knife. which Is carried
in a belt. is eighteen inches long, of
iron, with a keen edge and point. The
bag is Of cord. and opens and shuts
like a net, and is carried over the
shoulders. 1t is large enough to hold
two or three heads. Sometimes the
head hunter carries 4 bow and ar
rows. and occasionally a matchbox
gun. If month goes by without
some one in the tribe bringing in a
head. the tribe grows restless. and
foray on Chinese settlement is
planned. When. on rare occasions,
they start out in the daylight, they 90

Sometimes one hunter. less of a cow
ard than the others. creeps up and sets
fire to the matched shelter. At other
times damp grass smudges are thrust
through the chinks, and the occupants
are smoked out.
When the raid has been successful
and all the heads possible to get are
in the bags. the hunters return to their
villages to whoOp it up. All those

for three days. And should any of
their number be killed, there is wild

fate Of such Black Flags as they NAV

Of which there is plenty. Sometimes
the captive head hunter IS beaten and

thrust long needles into his flesh.

the brains are boiled to a jelly and de-

When the skull has weathered so
that all the flesh is gone. it is hung up
