SOMETHING TO BE DONE
TTE was a very sick white man.
He rode pickaback on
woolly headed, black skinned
savage the lobes of whose
ears had been pierced and stretched
until one had torn out. while the other
carried circular block Of carved wood
three inches In diameter. The torn
ear had been pierced again, but this
time not so ambitiOusly. for the whole
accommodated no more than a short
clay pipe. The man-horse was greasy
and dirty aud naked save for an eX-
ceedingly narrow and dirty loin cloth.
but the white man clung to him close
ly aud desperately. At times from
weakness his head drooped and rested
on the woolly pate. At other times he
lifted his head and stared with swim
ming eyes at the cOcoanut palms that
reeled and swung in the shimmering
heat. He was clad In thin under
shirt and strip of cotton cloth that
wrapped about his waist and descend
ed TO his knees. On his head was
battered Stetson. known to the trade
as a "Baden-Powell" About his mid
die was strapped belt, which carried
a large calibered automatic pistol and
several spare clips, loaded and ready
for quick work.

Mr.. Cunniff is one of the really
