The raiders had gorged themselves, had
stolen a score of the pretty women of the
settlement for barter in other ports and
were carousing in the village. The gov
ernor massed his constabulary and crept
upon the town. The pirates were sur
prsed. They had reckoned without the
big American, who was hend when
aroused. His followers had been drilled
into efficiency, but were yet timid, not
knowing their strength when armed with
American guns. But they followed their
chief to battle in fairly good part. The
pirates were cut to pieces and the band
broken up. The American that day won
for himself the title OF demon The
timid natives learned that they We're

without question. They came to call him
king and his word was law. They car
ried the tales of him to the ends Of the
island. and all the people proclaimed him.
None would have dared stand against
him, even had they not loved him. He
gave his orders as to cessation of war
among the tribes and the allotment of
land. In two years he had brought peace
into the whole island, and found it in
readiness for his real program. The fear
OF his arms among the Moros became so
great that for six years before his death
there was not a piratical raid on any

ing on to fruition when the governor was
drowned.
But, being practical man, Lieut. Miller
knew that if the people prospered it
would be through a cultivation. Of their
fertile soil They were mostly nomadic,
wandering from place to place. He ex-
erted all his influence to get them to set
tie down and make themselves perma-
nent homes, cultivating more land. He
told them the things to grow and the
manner of doing it He taught them the
manner of marketing their crops and in
duced the government to put on boat
that would be able to carry their produce
to market. He took charge of few men
and caused them to wax prosperous by
following this plan. and the other natives.
seeing this prosperity and being great
imtators Immediately began following
the example.
The Tagbanos, or inland people, were
the favorites with the governor They
were intelligent, tractable, musical.
lovable. He determined that he would
do something for these people to fix
1t was in the carrying out of this plan
that he lost his life.
The Aborlan river runs inland
through fertile valley near Puerto
Princesa. TwentysiX miles up this
stream Gov. Miller selected the site for
a model colony he planned to plant.
Here he would erect school that
should be an agricultural and demon
StrdL1On plant. Here ne would get the
children of the Tagbanos to go to the
industrial school. On the fertile lands
that lay roundabout he would locate
their parents These he would show
how to farm at the same time that the
children were attending school, He
would teach them the virtues Of a farm
life by actually demonstrating it to
them.
Gov. Miller told his little plan to the
provisional government and secured an
appropriation with which to begin it.
A little money he made go long way,
for the natives volunteered to do the
work without charge, and there was
not much call for the fine finish The
colony was this spring drawing on
toward completion, and as it was the
particular pet of the governor he
formed the habit Of running up to see
it every night after work in a gasoline
launch.
1t was while returning from one Of
these trips that the launch was upset.
Gov. Miller, though great, strong,
athletic man, had the vulnerable point
of an inability to swim. The men who
knew him were surprised to know that
he should drown in a narrow river
They supposed he could SWIM But

of the Spanish-American war he was an
officer in the Chicago militia and had
enlisted. His service was with the 9TH
Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and had at
first taken him to Porto Rico and later to
the Philippines. He served in the out
lying southern provinces and his supe-
riors soon recognized his genius for get
ting along with the natives. Because of
it he received his appointment in the reg
ular army and his detached detail.
Lieut. Miller was but twenty-four years
old when he first enlisted. Yet he left a
soldiers sweetheart behind him in Illinois,
and when he received the permanent de-
tail the sweetheart came into the wilds
to him and they were married. All the
years between then and now Mrs. Miller

the gloom of the great loss. The people
mourn the death of the American as
they have never grieved for anything
before. The great work which he has
established for them is at a standstil,
and its future is in doubt. Such work
requires the genius of man who fits
into just such nook, and civil service
or the discretion of the men higher up
is unable to determine just what are the
qualities needed, even were the man with
these qualities idealist enough to give up
the world to which he has been accus-
toned, to live among the people of the
wild for the sake of doing good.
