He sprang for the gate as II to force

rapidly. Her revolver was hanging
on the wall of her grass house. Yet
one cry would bring her sailors. and
she knew she was safe. So she did
not cry for help. Instead, she whistled
for Satan, at the same time calling
him by name. She knew he was shut
up in the living room, but the blacks
did not wait to see. They fed with
wild yells through the darkness, fol
lowed reluctantly by Gogoomy, while
she entered the bungalow, laughing at
first, but finally vexed to the verge of
tears by what had taken place. She
had sat up whole night with the boy
who had died, and yet his brother de-
manded to be paid for his life.
ugh! The ungrateful beastg' she
muttered, while she debated whether
or not she would confess the incident
to Sheldon.
"And so it was all settled easily
enough" Sheldon was saying. he was
on the veranda, drinking coffee. The
whaleboat was being carried into its
shed. Boucher was a bit timid at
first to carry off the situation with a
strong hand, but he did very well once
we got started. We made play at
holding a court, and Telepasse, the old
scoundrel, accepted the findings. He's a
Port Adams chief, filthy beggar. We
fined him ten times the value Of the
pigs and made him move on with his
mob. Oh, they're a sweet lot, / must
say, at least sixty Of them, in five big
canoes, and out for trouble. They've
got a dozen Sniders that ought to be
confiscated."
"Why didn't you 2" Joan asked.
"And have a row on my hands with
the commissioner? He's terribly
touchy about his black wards. as he
calls them. Well, we started them
along their way. though they went in
on the beach to kai-kai several miles
back. They ought to pass here some
time today"

But her twitching lips belied her

was more uncomfortable than ever,

thing seemed to he in readiness when
the time came. There were noSdelays
and the building assumed proportions
rapidly A little of the immensely of
the plant can be secured from the fact
that one of their buildings is nearly
a mile around it Outside of the many
residences erected for the accommoda-
ton of their laborers, there are prob
ably twenty buildings. The only mis-
hap of consequence during the progress
of the building of this immense plant.
was the fire of last July which burned
thirty-six of their work horses.
The Portland cement plant will have
a capacity of 5000 barrels per day, and
they expect to at once plunge INFO f3he
work at full tilt. Since the work has
begun they have employed at no time
less than eco men, and from that to
1000. Now. that they will be settled
down 10 the real manufacture Of ce-
ment. they will give continued. seven
days-in-the- week work to about 500
men.
The Northwestern Portland Cement
Company has a plant Just southeast Of
the Lehigh plant and they are putting
out about 5000 barrels per day and
give employment TO about the same
number of men. The cement industry
is crowding close the brick and tile in

1000 men employed in the nine differ.
