Wherever D. M. Clough has
been strong in the past, Mr.. Lind
ran largely ahead of his ticket. Per-
haps it is a mere coincidence, but
it is a cold fact. 1t is openly
charged that Clough voted for Lind
and publicly declared his vote, pre-
sumably to repay Mr.. Eustis for
the support he gave Clough on the
stump two years ago. The Repub-
lie n party owes Mr.. Clough great

though L felt little of what is called
fear, [ certainly did not experience my
usual satisfaction in the minute prep
arations with which I am accustomed
to make myself comfortable for the
night. There was gloom both within
and without the four bare walls be-
tween which [ now found myself shut
which L would have been something
less than human not to feel and
though 1 had no dread of being over
come by it l was glad to add some
thing to the cheer of the spot by OPEN
ing my trunk andltaking out a few of
those little matters of personal equip
ment without which the brightest room

desolate for habitation.

fall again and sat down in a chair to
think.
The shortness of the candle end with
which I had been provided had struck
me as significant, so significant that
had not allowed it to burn long after
Miss Knollys had left me- If these
girls, charming, no doubt, but sly, had
thought to shorten my watch by short
ening my candle I would give them
no cause to think but that their ruse
had been successful. The foresight
which causes me to add a winter wrap
to my stock of clothing even when the
weather is at the hottest leads me TO
place a half-dozen or SO of candles in
my trunk, and so I had only to open
a little oblong box in my upper tray
to have the means at my disposal OF
keeping light all night.

looked upon as first prize. the head
of a 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 fair. standup fight If 1t 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
foe stronger than himself.
All that the head hunter need carry
is a spear to kill, knife to cut and
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. Inc
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
held hunter carries 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 a
foray on a Chinese settlement Is
planned. When, on rare occasions
they start out in the daylight, they 20

ers in the fields. they slay with the

or disabled, they finish with the knife
But at night the hunt is conducted IL

, Sometimes one hunter, less of cow
ard than the others, creeps up and set'
, fire to the matched shelter. At othel
times damp grass smudges are thrus

, are smoked out

and all the heads possible to get ar
in the bags, the hunters return to thei
, villages to whoop 1t up. All thos

does not dare to return to tie village
for three days. And should any Of
their number be killed, there is wild
lamentation in the tribe, and the fatal
SPOT Is Stunned for years.
That the Chinese, too, are cannibals,
or partially cannlbals, is shown by the
fate of such Black Flags as they may
capture. The head of the head huntec
is half cut off from behind with a
heavy broadsword two feet long. Aft.
err one executioner has done this part
of the Job, the other saws the head
completely off. Then the head is tied
to a bamboo pole and is fastened on
the gates of the village. The heart is
eaten, the flesh taken OF In strips.
and the bones boiled to a jelly and
kent as a medicine for yellow fever,
of which there is plenty. Sometimes
the captive head hunter is beaten and
tortured by the Chinese women, who
thrust long needles into his flesh.

THE MOKIL GROUP
IN THE PACIFIC.

Mokil is properly a group of three
low islands-Urak, Manton and Kaiap
Lying close together in lagoon Of no
great extent. The Mokil folk, num-
bering some 200, probably have
strong Marshall Island admixture, like
their Pingelap neighbors. Many of
their words are an obsolete form OF
Ponapean; but nowadays the modern
Ponapean is everywhere spoken, intro
duced by the American missionaries
and native teachers from their former
station on the larger island. The ma
tives are Christianized; cocOanut tOddy
is tabooed, and all use Of intoxicating
liquors and tobacco is strictly forbid
den. The king, jcho, lives on Kalap
and is friendly old gentleman, but
like nearly oil converted natives has
keen eye for business.
The chief trader on the island Is
John Higgins, a capital boatbuilder
and carpenter, the son of Massachu-
sets man, afterward murdered upon
Pingelap by a Gilbert Islander from
Aroral. He leads as quiet and indus
trious life as any Norfolk or Pitcairn
Island settler. There is no supply of
running water, but there is heavy
annual rainfall, which the natives
make the most Of by digging numerous
shallow pits and wells.
| After q stroll In the woods, a bath
in one Of the water holes, and hearty
meal of fried flying fish and taro, 1t
is time to leave. Toward evening,
with a good load Of copra and some Of
the Urak porkers and seven or eight
native passengers on board, we set sail
for Pingelap, which lies some sixty
miles to the southwark. The group
consists, like Mokil, of three low coral
islands lying close together, named re-
spectively Pingelap, Tara and Chikul
ru. Population, little over 1000
pretty dense, considering the meagp
area. Natives midway between th
Ponape and Mokll type. Language,a
harsh and antiquated dialect Of Poa-
pean. As in Mokil, however. the rw
missionary Ponapean, introduced In
the lesson books and New TestaJent
translations and songs, is fast outing
the old language. Most of the ihab-
itants here live on the main cntral
island, which is neatly laid ut in
shady walks and avenues, sirting

The number of bright, heahy young
children playing about landing

testimony of the vigor az vitality Of
the race-a quality now, as growing
rarer among the South S island peo-
pies.

the usual manner, earning thereby the
rndying hatred Of men in comparison
with whom the Chinese are civilized.'
These savages are as fiercely opposed
to those Of their own kind who have
acknowledged the authority of tho
Chinese. as they are to the Chinese
themselves. The backsliders are
looked upon as traitors who must pay
the penalty at the first opportunity.

ed and the flesh eaten. and invariably
the brains are boiled to jelly and de-
voured with relish.
When the skull has weathered so
that all the flesh is gone, it is hung up
on the house, sometimes on an inner
wall, but oftener outside under the
caves. The hunter who can show the
most heads is the best brave of the
lot. The queue adds to the decoration
of the interior. The hunters don't
