joy.
He sat there in the moonlight for an
hour, dreaming of his love and the great
strenuous life of achievement he would live
with her to inspire him. 1t seemed too
good to be true. And yet it was the largest
living fact! Like throbbing music the
words were ringing in his heart. keeping
time with the rhythm of its beat, Il do

And then he did something he had not
done for years-not since his boyhood-he
knelt in the silence of the moonlit room
and prayed. Love. the great Revealer had
led him into the presence of God. The
impulse was spontaneous and resistless.

and an insult might cause one to lose his

Death is one Of their punishments for theft
While General Bates was in Sulu one of the
Moros stole knife belonging to his party.
and the datto who ruled there wondered
why our soldiers did not cut Off the thief >
head
Shortly after this the transport Warren
called at Jolo with party OF Americans on
board. The Sultan came down to visit them,
and upon leaving found that his best cane
had mysteriously' disappeared. The stick
was set with jewels. and the Sultan COM
planned. Had the thief been caught alone
in his territory he would probably have
been killed.
Last October eight men were cut to
mIncemeat in the Suius because they had
stolen 10 cents worth of fish. The thieves
were Moros from neighboring island, who
had robbed the fish traps. They were cap
tured and trial was held. Before II twas
over one of the Sulu Moros accused one of
the defendants OF being thief. The ac-
cused at once drew his kris and started for
his accuser upon which the friends of the
latter rushed in and grabbed the eight stran-
-ers. They tied their hands behind them
and chopped them in pieces.
Tested Edges of Knives
by Cutting Human Flesh.
When the American soldiers arrived the
bodies still bleeding. and there was
not a. spot as large as your hand on any one
of them that had not been cut. While the
soldiers were looking on, other Moros came
up and tested the edges of their knives
by chopping into the human flesh.
I remember a Presidente whom I met at
Zamboanga. We rode about together look
ing over his town. and chatted with him
about himself and his work. He made no
bones of telling me how he had killed his
predecessor. He was in charge of the town
when our soldiers attacked It, and was sup
posed to be associated with Filipino Cen
eral in its defense. He called this General
to him, pretending he wanted a conference
and when he came gave a sign to his own
soldiers to shoot him. This they did. He
rather laughed as he showed me how he
had killed his associate. and was evidently
proud of his action. The fact that he had
lied did not cause blush, and this is so
with the majority Of our little brown cous-
ins.
The Filipino has received his moral ideas
from the Spaniard. and neither thinks any
thing of lying to gain his end. The most Of
them believe it is only through fear that
people tell the truth. I remember a story
