Governor Miller told his little plan

and there was not much call for the

Governor Miller, though great,

men who knew him were surprised to
know that he should drown in a mar.

he could swim. But when the boat
turned over the King OF Balawan, the
savior Of the people. the man who had
started the thousands on the road to
development, went unceremoniously
to the bottom and his native compan.
ions dived for hours before they were
able to recover his body.
So there had settled down upon
Palawan the gloom Of the great loss.

Akib had long been the terror Of the
coasts The natives had ben inef
fective as warriors and the trades
were at the option of the pirates
Lieutenant Miller was well prepared
before he struck a blow.
Then one summer night the news
was brought that the pirates were
ashore at village up the coast and
the natives were being robbed Of their
stores and animals The raiders had
gorged themselves, had stolen score
of the pretty women Of the settlement
for barter in other ports and were

But they had reckoned without the

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 we're

The American that day won for him
self the title of 1.-The demon" The
timid natives learned that they were
able to stand against their hereditary
enemy. The gratitude of the whole
community came to the governor Re-
cruits came to his arms.
The band of Salip Toni gave the
second big battle in the working out
OF the problems Of this isolated law
and order scheme. THE demon" met
this band under similar conditions and
the results were the same. The timid
natives found that they could fight
and that they liked It, They placed
| themselves at the command of the
governor and did his bidding without
| question. They came to call him king
and his word was law. They carried
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 cessa
ton of war among the tribes and the
allotment of land. In two years he
had brought peace into the whole
island and found 1t in readiness for his
real programme. The fear of his arms
among the Moros became SO great
that for six years before his death
there was not piratical raid on an,
part of the island. The natives called
him king, and his powers with then
were absolute. To all intents and pur
poses he was in reality king; for then
there was no authority in the lane
