Called Self-Defense.
Attorney Berry argued that it was a
case of self-defense on the part of Aim
smith. He said that Edwards had the
iron bar. which Engel took away from
him. and that he approached Ainsmith
IN a menacing manner. and 1t was then
Ainsmith struck him. He declared there
was no ground for a charge of assault
against Engel.
There is no doubt in my mind but that
these men assaulted the compla inant.

few natives live on those. Dangerous
beggars, of course. There's scarcely a
spot where you could be shipwrecked,
from Geelvink Bay right along, without
being eaten alive if you got ashore"
"Why," l said, waking to momentary
interest, "the Germans have had this
place since 1851"
Right" he answered; "but they
haven't done more than sit on the edge
of it anywhere. If we'd been making the
usual trip, we should have called at two
or three ports with big names already,
and we've got lot of them to call at yet.
Sounds well, but they're nothing on earth
but jetty and a copra shed, with per-
haps mission house somewhere or other
close by. | tell you, the Germans are only
holding this country by the tip of it's tail
"Are they?" said; and then, as it
struck me must talk-must seem quite
as usual: as it worth holding?"
RED BOB laughed little.
at is worth it," he said, his lean,
sharp profile-the very type of true
sea-rover's face-showing still and black
against the glare of Schouten's burning
IL. j u.
They're pretty near the same size, if
you take in the Bismarcks and the Louisi-
ades-each share is about twice as big as
England. But the Germans have got the
best ports and the best navigable rivers.
The Fly's snowy river with gigantic
estuary, but it doesn't begin to compare
with the Kaiserin Augusta for use. You
remember-that big mouth we passed,
when the water was yellow for miles?
That's it. Smallish steamers can 60 up
for two hundred miles. big ocean liners for
forty. Fine plantation country all theway."
"Who lives there?" | asked, picturing
brown plantation houses and orderly
groves of palms.
"A rather bad lot of man-eaters.
Nearly got me and Warburton once.
You've heard of Warburton; he was
knocked on the head by stone club in
Rubiana."
whats in the country besides rivers?"
asked. Ibid not care in the least what was
in the country; but it seemed well to talk.
Anything you like to name, answered
Red Bob "Gold-lots of it; but they
can't find it. We could, but we won't.
Other metals-rank with 'em. Game,
suspect, and so do other people. Woods
that will make your fortune in six months,
if you get fair chance at them-which
in German colony you won't. Birds-of-
paradise, worth three pounds apiece in
Simpsonhaven-wor anything you like
at home. Gums that no ones investi-
gated yet; probably valuable. Sandal
wood-ours is cut out, but theirs isn't,
and the Chinese are giving big money for
it. Land-land, my boy, that will grow
cocoanuts year quicker than the Fed
Grated Malay States, that they make
such song about, and rubber year and
half quicker. Labor, plenty of it, and
on the spot. A bit of country twice as
big as England, that's four tifths un-
known, but the bit that is known is quite
enough to make you want more. Oh yes,
worth having! think old Schouten
must have thought so in the days when he
spent so much time exploring and coasting
about. But, after all, it was only the
western half of the country that Holland
took. Till 'S5 nobody seemed to want
this place. Then they began the game Of
grab. But you know how we took it up

days, argued one side of my mind
1t was unreasonable to suppose that
she should have taken any serious hold
on my life-impossible, rather. One did
not suffer agonies because a girl one had
met only last week turned out to be mar
ried to some one else.
But another side of my mind argued
differently, and knew that l was suffer-
ing agonies The future looked black
and empty.
l lay long awake thinking, and the sum
of my thoughts was that my life was not
going to be happy. l did not know any
one whose life was happy, now came to
think of it, but l had always fancied that
was to be an exception. One does fancy
so at twenty-three. And all my wishes,
of late, had met with such fairy-tale
fulfilment, as soon as uttered, that this
fierce check seemed incredibly unjust and
cruel.
They say that men under torture have
been known to sleep through sheer ex-
haustion. l slept at last.
NOTHING in my life has ever seemed
~ to me less like life, and more like
dream, than that slow progress down the
long, long shores of New Guinea, after
leaving Vulcan Island.
Isaw Isola every day. but never spoke
to her. For man of my age, or youth,
l think this showed some self-restraint.
l thought her changed and quiet. She
looked at me sometimes, when l passed
her on deck, but she did not speak to me.
l think she stayed great deal in her
cabin, and was seldom out.
If | could have been amused by any
thing, the sufferings of Red Bob on ac-
count of Miss Siddis would assuredly have
done it. That small person was never,
