land seems to have agreed with you,"
he said.
Admirably. Life here had it's
drawbacks, but we fought our enc
mics in the open. Didn't we, Iris?"
Yes. dear: The poor Dyaks were
not sufficiently modernized to attack
us with false testimony
His lordship's sallow face wrinkled
somewhat. SO Iris knew of the court
martial, nor was she afraid to pro-
claim to all the world that this man
was her lover. AS for Captain Fitz-
roy, his bushy eyebrows disappeared
into his peaked cap when he heard
the manner Of their speech.
Nevertheless Ventnor smiled again.
Given the Dyaks respected Miss
Deane," he said.
But Anstruther, sorry for the mani
fest uneasiness of the shipowner, re-
pressed the retort on his lips, and
forthwith suggested that they should
walk to the north beach in the first
instance, that being the scene Of the
wreck.
During the next hour he became
auditor rather than narrator. It was
wind and waves. Iris who showed
them where he fought with the devil
fish, Iris who expatiated on the long
days of ceaseless toll, his dauntless
courage in the face of every difficulty,

the clutch of the savages, the skill Of
his preparations against the antici-
pated attack. and the last great
achievement Of all. when. time after
time, he foiled the Dyaks' best laid
plans, and flung them off, crippled
and disheartened, during the many
phases of the thirty hours battle.
She had an attentive audience. Most
of the Orient's officers came up and
followed the girls glowing recital with
breathIess interest. Robert vainly en-
deavored more than once to laugh
away her thrilling eulogy. But she
owuld have none of it. Her heart
was in her words. He deserved this
tribute Of praise, unstinted, unmeas-
ured, abundant in it's simple truth, yet
sounding like legend spun by some

"Then you know him? ?"
"Quite we'll, if he is the man I i'm
agine."
THAT is really very Moe OF Vent
nor" thought the shipowner. THE
last thing I should credit him with
would be forgiving disposition"
Meanwhile Ansthruther was read

explained to her, edo not allude to
me by my former rank. I am not en-
titled to it. Some day, please God,
it will be restored to me. At present

"Oh, why not?" 4!

He pressed her arm by way Of an

tobell was the principal witness
against him."
THAT must have been d d awk-
ward for you,'' was the unexpected
comment.
Indeed! Why"
Because rumor linked your name
with that Of the lady in "a somewhat
outspoken way" s.
e'You astonish me. Anstruther GER
tainly made some stupid allegations
during the trial; but had no idea he
was able to spread this malicious re-
port subsequently" -s%
II am not talking of Hongkong, my
lord, but of Singapore, months later"
Captain Fitzroy's tone was exceed
| ingly dry. Indeed, some people might
deem it offensive. :.
His lordship permitted himself the
rare luxury of an angry scowl.
"Rumor is lying jade at the best, =
| he said CURLY. 'You must remember,
Captain Fitzroy, that I have uttered
no word of scandal about Mr.. Anstru-
ther, and any, doubts concerning his
conduct can be set at rest by perus-
ing the records Of his case in the adj
jutant-generaIs office at Hongkong."
"Hum!" said the sailor, turning on
his heel to enter the chart-room This
was no way to treat real live lord,
a parsonage of some political import
ance, too, such as the special envoy to
Wang-hat. Evidently, Iris was no
mean advocate. She had already won
| for the "outcast'' the SURFACES of
the entire ships company.
The girl and her father went back
to the island with Robert. After TAX
ing thought, the latter decided to ask
Mir Jan tosremain in possession until
he returned. There was not much
risk of another Dyaks invasion. The
fate Of Taung SALTS expedition would
not encourage a fresh set of maraud-
ers, and the Mohammedan would be
well armed to meet unforeseen con-
| tingencies, whilst on his, Anstruther's
| representations the Orient would land
an abundance of stores In any event
it was far better for the native to live
in freedom on Rainbow Island than to
be handed over to the authorities as
/ an escaped convict, which must be
| his immediate fate no matter what
magnanimous view the government OF
India might afterwards take Of his
services.
Mir JAMS answer was emphatic. He

II can quite understand he said
to Robert, that you have an affection
for this weird place"
IT should think so indeed" NUT
tered the stout midshipman, glancing
at Iris.
"But I am curious to know con-
tinued the commander why you lay
claim to the island? You can hardly
intend to return here"
He pointed to- Roberts placard
stuck on the rock. -.-'
Anstruther paused before he an
swered. He felt that Lord Ventnor's
dark eyes were fixed on him. Every
body was more or less DESTROYS to
have this point cleared up. He looked
the questioner squarely in the face.
''In some parts of the world" he
said, there are sunken reefs, un-
known, uncharted, on which many a
vessel has been lost without any con-
tributory fault on the part of her Of
ficers?"
"Undoubtedly"
well, Captain Fitzroy, when was

prompt reply.
Then every one laughed, Iris more

hand. .. /
She was so volubly clear, so pre-
else in fact, so subtle in her clever
delineations of humorous or tragic
events, that her father was astounded,
and even Anstruther silently admitted
that man might live until he equaled
the years Of a Biblical patriarch with
out discoverinS all the resources of a
woman.
There We're tears in her eyes when
she ended; but they were tears Of
thankful happiness, and Lord Ventnor,
a silent listener who missed neither
word nor look, felt a deeper chill in
his cold heart as he realized that this
woman's love could never be his. The
knowledge excited his passion the
more. His hatred Of Anstruther now
became a mania, an insensate resolve
to MORALLY stab this meddler who al
ways stood in his path.
Robert hoped that his present or
deal was over. It had only begun.
He was called on to answer questions
without number. Why had the tun-
mel been made? What was the mys-
terry of the Valley Of Death? How
did he manage to guess the dimen-
sions of the sun-dial?z How came he
to acquire such an amazing stock Of
out-of-the-way knowledge Of the ed
ible properties of roots and trees !?
How? Why? Where :? When! They
never would be satisfied, for not even

the recesses Of the world-often comes

He readily explained the creation Of

them to luncheon, when Captain Fitz-
roy put a final query.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1904-03-25
An acquaintance came in one day

An acquaintance came in one day
deeply disturbed A matter long
planned for the morrow must be post
poned, to the serious Inconvenience of
a number Of persons. He hardly
knew how to put it off, yet put it off
he must, for he had been drawn on
the jury. It was exasperating, but
he summoned philosophy to his aid.
Its one Of the penalties of citizen
ship" he said as he went away.
The matter came with unusual sig
nificance to me, because I had but a
short time before been listening to the
stormy protest of a student at the
state university. His time for study,
and worse still, in his estimation, his
time for football practice was about
to be materially curtailed by add1-
tional periods of military drill. The
young man inveighed rather bitterly
because the women students (the uni
versity, being state institution, is CO.
educationaD were exempt from this
onerous duty.
I called his attention to the fact
that it is the masculine prerogative
to fight for the state. Women are ex-
empt from military and usually from
jury duty. These duties are a part of
the male citizens tax, Of the tax, in
reality, upon which his suffrage is
based.
For there are two sorts of tax-the
property tax and the personal. In most
states Of the union women pay only
the former. A man, by reason of his
being a man, can be called upon in
time of need to bear arms, to quell
a riot, to make an arrest put out a
fire or serve on jury. Summoned by
rightful authority to the performance
of any Of these duties he may not
evade them without serious conse-
uuence to himself, He may not plead
the necessities of his personal bust
ness nor danger to himself; as a citi-
zen Of the country he must stand
ready to sacrifice all personal inter-
ests to the public interest. For this
reason rather than because he pays a
property tax he has the suffrage.
This line of argument Is commonly
lost sight of in the usual prosuffrage
debates. A man has the ballot by
virtue of his power and of his respon-
sibility to uphold it. A woman pays
a property tax and her property is
safeguarded by the law. She pays no
personal tax-by which is meant an OBJ
ligatory performance Of public service.
In the nature of things she could not
perform such service without serious
suffering and injury to herself and to
the state.
heard not long ago All authentic
story illustrative of the hardship
wrought to women in the fulf1llment
of personal tax duties. 1t happened
in a court in one Of the equal suf-
frage states. A case was on trial, and
there were men and women on Che
jury During the proceedings a note
was handed UP to one of the women
jurors. She read 1t, and springing uI
hastily, gloves and wrap in hand
started to leave the box.

He told her.

And then, for the benefit of her
father, she ratified off into spirited
account Of her struggle with the all

verb.
Sir, Arthur Deane managed to re-
press a sigh. In spite Of himself he
coull not help liking Anstruther. The
gentleman. No wonder his daughter
was infatuated with him. Yet the
future was dark and storm-tossed, full
Of sinister threats and complications.

cup Of happiness from her lips? In
that moment Of silent agony he
wished he were dead, for death alone
could remove the burden laid on him.
Well, surely he might bask in the sun
shire of her laughter for another day.
No need to enbitter her joyous heart
until he was driven to it by dire ne
cessity.
So he resolutely brushed aside the
wOe-begone phantom of care, and en-
tered into the abandon of the hour
with n zest that delighted her. The
dear girl imagined that Robert, her
Robert. had made another speedy con-
quest. and Anstruther himself was
much elated by the sudden change in
Sir Arthur Deanes demeanor.
They behaved like school children
on q picn'c. They roared over Iris's
troubles in the matter of divided
skirts, too much divided to be at al
pleasant. The shipowner tasted some
Of her sago bread. and vowed it was
excellent. They unearthed two bot.
ties Of champagne, the last of the case
and promised each other a hearty
toast at dinner Nothing would con.
tent Iris but that they should draw a
farewell bucketfull Of water from the
we'll and drench the pitcher-plant
with a torrential shower.
Robert carefully secured the pocket
books, money and other effects found
on their dead companions. The bar
onet, of course, knew all the principal
officers Of the Sirdar. He surveyed
these mournful relics with sorrowfu
interest.

cave It claimed all rights In the
island in their Joint names, and this
was topic he wished to avoid. For
the time, therefore, the younger man
