was the repelling of the Moros. Salip
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 a score
OF the pretty women of the settlement

But they had reckoned without the
big American, who was a fiend 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

cut to pieces and the band broken uu.

timid natives learned that they wera

enemy. The gratitude of the whole
community came to the governor. Re
cruits came to his arms.
The band of Salip Toni gave tho
second big battle in the working ont
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 tinid
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.

had brought peace into the whole
island and found It in readiness for his
real programme. The fear of his arms
