Then the seventy-fiVe inches of Ser
geant Hook shouldered through the
frantic riot. grasped the datto with one
hand and the dog with the other. spoke
a word in the ear of Kais and effected
the much desired separation. Then he
took the dog under his arm and strobe
through the mUrderous crowd without
once turning his head.
The Mortified miniOns picked up their
fallen chief and faded away by the
road they had come. outraged dignity
in every line of their unyielding backs.
Early next morning came a messen-
ger from the dattO asserting his abSO-
lutte independence. denying the right of
road-making across his territory, and
demanding the immediate death of
Kais as preliminary to any negOtia-
tions.
Jarvey sought counsel of Eleazar.
Looks to me-" he said sadly, "as
though this was where the pup makes
his finish. Those fellows are after him
and We'll have TO produce him"
Hide him." advised the corporal.
Cant" said Jarvey, no place to
hide hip."
Eleazar studied the problem.
Then let's you an me go an bluff
'em out Jarvey." said he. "Remem-
Der them little yellow devils up Cebu
way"
Jarvey considered the proposition.
This one is another sort" he said,
but We might work it. We can't do
any more'n lose the dog, anyhow. I'll
go see the cap'n."
He sought Chislett and had a talk
with him, after which the captain saw
the colonel and the brigadier. Some
one had to go and open up negotiations
once more with the outraged dattO.
Jarvey volunteered for the somewhat
delicate job, and advanced reasons why
he should be chosen. Chislett knew his
first sergeant. and ultimately they let
him go. EleaZar was included in the
expedition and Kais was taken along
to be delivered up as a peace offering.
The company babe Kais a long and
affecting farewell. They understood
that his sacrifice was necessary. Even
such a dog as Kais may not stand in
the way of progress for whole island.
The road must go through, Khali
must be appeased, Kais must act as
the olive branch. The dog knew per-
fectly that something out Of the or
| binary was on foot, and when Jaryey
hooked a leading chain to his collar he
hung back, reluctant to follow.
1t was mid-afternOon when they ap-
preached Khalis bamboo stOckade and
waved d white handkerchief.
Directly the gate was opened and
the two marched cOolly in. followed by
Kais, very meek, owing to the indig-
nifty of the chain. Instantly they were
surrounded by crowd of curious ones
who jabbered eXcitedly and pointed at
the dog. The two white men were di-
rected down a street lined on either
side by grass huts, from which came
feminine offerings and giggies.
Before the dattO's straw palace, in
the centre of the village, the process
sion halted and Jarvey demanded in
English an audience with the chief.
Tell him." he said, that we have
brought the dog"
Some one in the crowd understood
and the message was communicated,
for Immediately appeared the dattO
KhaIi, supported by slaves on either
side, and his right leg swathed in ban
dages. His face was sullen, suspicious
of trickery, and there came a wicked
CLEAN I'm his eyes when they lighted on
the shrinking bulldog.
The two soldiers made profound
bows. Eleazar even placing a huge paw
over his heart. 1t was very impressive
and the dattO was impressed. Jarvey
