CALLING IN THE TREE TOPS.
a Visit TO an Elevated Village In IN.
Phiiippines-


Philippines.
In the interior Of the island Of
Mlndanao, IN the Philippines, there
are many natives who live in houses
IN the tree tops. Where the forests
are thick the entrances TO villages
are often at considerable distances
and by xay of suspended bridges
from tree 10 tree. Thus one NAV
walk directly beneath a cluster Of
houses, says the author of The
Gems Of the East" without suspect
ing It's presence.
On one occasion, BY mere luck,
while struggling through bamboo
forest ne came TO place where,
resting against the thick growth,
was q severed bamboo of great
height, With notches cut in it. Rec
ognizing IT as a Mansska ladder, he
mounted II 10 see what was at the
summit.
To ms amazement there lay on
the top Of the vegetation two long,
horizontal bamboos on which mud
is feet had trodden and beyond
these other bamboos, forming a
path or bridge. He signaled his men
TO De quiet and follow, and then
proceeded to cross the first length
of the rickety way, some twenty
feet above the ground. When he
had gone about thirty yards he came
suddenly out into q clearing where
were four large elevated houses. The
path he was on led TO the nearest
one, and they we're all connected BY
bridges.
To cross the shaky bamboo over
the open vas a problem for one less
birdlike than the tree dvellers; but,
taking of his shoes, the traveller
went ahead. lie had scarcely reach
ed the middle and most ticklish
part when the Mansakas in the
houses detected his presence. With
a chorus Of wells they sent stones
and arrows at him, and one old vo-
man crawled out on the bridge and
shook II so that only by using both
hands could he cling to it. At last
he was able TO stand up and make
the sign of peace. The old voma
stopped and stared at him, while his
men crowded up on the bamboo and
prepared to discharge their guns
into the houses if necessary TO pro-
tect him The traveller called his
interpreter. 1
Tell her she must not be angry
with me-" he said. Tell her she
looks ugly when she is angry. Tell J
her | am a friend and carry no bolo
nor even a spear II they lay down /
their arms, / will Kill no one"
The old woman, who still had |
some stones clutched in her hands, !
for swhile and then re-
gretfully dropped the missiles. The /
traveller went toward her and caress- /
Cd her SCARED face She seized his 4
hand in hers, which were trembling, I
and the men and women in the
houses stilled their racket.
The old woman was the chiefs
wife and bore the scars Of many
lights. She said they had mistaken
the party for slave traders. Being
she turned and led the
party into the village, and there
hey were entertained at feast. She
even offered to adopt the traveller
md make aim chief if he would
itsy, but he declined the offer firm
y and without regret.
