Do you know what your frowning habit

squirting and causing tiny lines to radiatc
from the corner Of the cye-alI these, and
more, are the result OF frowns.

sigh Of relief. The days work was
done. A rifle lay on the couch beside
him. His revolver was within reach
Of his hand. An hour passed, during
which he did not move. He lay in a
state Of half slumber, half coma. He
became suddenly alert. A creak on
the back veranda was the cause. The
which stood his couch was dim. but
the hanging lamp in the main part of
the room, over the billiard table and
just around the corner so that it did
not shine on him, was burning bright
ly. Likewise the verandas were we'll
lighted. He waited without move
ment. The creaks were repeated, and
he knew several men lurked outside.
"What name?' he cried sharply.
The house, raised dozen feet above
the ground, shook on its pile founda-
tons to the rush of retreating foot
steps.
They're getting bold" he muttered.
Something will have to be DONE"
The full moon rose over Malaita and
shone down on Berande. Nothing
stirred in the MINDLESS air. From the
hospital still proceeded the moaning
Of the sick. In the grass matched

headed man eaters slept off the weari-

lifted their heads to listen to the curses
Of one who cursed the white man

das Of the house the lanterns burned.

Cured on every other day since the
sickness smote Berande. The fact that
none had offended was in itself sus-
picious. They were growing crafty.

as every native knew the law of every
white mans compound in all the thou
sand miles of the far flung SOlOmOns.
The one man who came up the path
Sheldon recognized as Seelee. the chief
Of Balesuna village. The savage did
not mount the steps. but stood be-
meath and talked to the white lord
above.
Seelee was more intelligent than the
average Of his kind, but his intelli
gence only emphasized the lowness OF
that kind. His eyes, close together and
small, advertised cruelty and crafti-
ness. A gee string and cartridge
belt were all the clothes he wore.
AS he talked. or listened. he made
grimaces like a monkey. He said yes
by dropping his eyelids and thrusting
his chin forward. He spoke with
childish arrogance strangely at vari-
ance with the subservient position he
, occupied beneath the veranda. He,
I with his many followers. was lord and
master of Balesuna village. But the
