To confess and make It clear
Why we bought and brought you here,
To rear you In the city.

Meets the trees that tower high
There the velvet meadows he.
They're made for little children.
Tinted with the bloom Of rose
Pink as baby's pinkest toes
Oh, SO many blooms Of those,
They're perfectly bewildertn'!
Where the skies and naples meet
Pathways soft to baby's feet
Lead away to woodlands sweet
For little tads to stray in
And the bees they buzz and boom
In the sweet unsuckled bloom,
And there's not thing but room
For little tads to play In.

Tinted gold with dandelion
Lead to where the waters shine,
And little fellows wade in:
Dirt as clean as honeycomb-
Not the kind We have at home,
But Just the softest kind Of loam-'
For little tads to spade in.
But fear that digress. 4

Where there are no meadows, Ao
Place for little tads to 60

Who left the fields behind US.

Such as those you're beaming through,
To look at and remind Us.

And along came poor Hughie and me,
two new chums, to take hold Of that
hard bitten gang. We did not know
the situation, and we had bought
Berande, and there was nothing to do
but hang on and muddle through some
how.
AT first we made the mistake Of in.
discreet kindness. We tried to rule
by persuasion and fair treatment. The
niggers concluded that we were afraid.
Then came the day when Hughie rep
rimanded one of the boys, and was
thing that saved him was the number
on top of him, which enabled me to
reach the spot in time.
Then began the rule Of the strong

He was a soft spoken, gentle
voiced young fellow of twenty. but he
won JOan's admiration in advance
when Sheldon told her that he ran the
ketch all alone with black crew
from MalaitG. And romance lured and
beckoned before Joan's eyes when she
learned he was Christian Young,
Norfolk islander, but direct descend
ant Of John Young. one of the original
Bounty mutineers. The blended Ia
hitian and English blood showed in his
soft eyes and tawny skin. but the Eng
lish hardness seemed to have disup-
peared Yet the hardness was there,
and it was what enabled him to run
his ketch single handed and to wiring
livelihood out Of the fighting Solo
mons.
Joans unexpected presence embar-
rassed him until she herself put him
out ut his ease by Il frank, comradely
manner that offended Sheldons sense
Of the fitness of things feminine.
News from the world Young had not.
but he was filled with news of the
SolOmons. Fifteen boys had stolen
rifles and run away into the bush
from Lunga plantation, which was
farther east on the Guadalcanar coast.
And from the bush they had sent word
that they We're coming back to wipe
out the three white men in charge,
while two of the three white men, in
turn. were hunting them through the
bush. There was a strong possibility,
Young volunteered. that if they We're
not caught, they might circle around
and tap the coast at Berande in order
to steal or capture whaleboat.

at Ugi has been murdered" he said to
Sheldon. Five big canoes came
down from Port Adams. They landed
in the night time and caught Oscar
asleep. What they didn't steal they
burned. The Flibberty Gibbet got the
news at Mboli pass and ran down to
Agi. l was at Mbol when the news
came"
Il think I'll have to abandon Ugi."
Sheldon remarked.
"It's the second trader you've lost
there in a year." Young concurred
