specting our prison closely. | watched
him with an interest that was almost
feverish; and think Isola, and even Bo,
watched him too. We all three felt his
greatness and his dominance of the party,
and we felt that if he could not save us,
nothing and no one could. 1t had come
to that by now: each one of us knew that
we were in serious danger, and that the
sun that had sunk two hours ago behind
the unknown forest ranges might never
rise for us-unless Red Bob could help.
l don't really know what l expected
him to say or do, but | was horribly dis
appointed when | saw that he was turn
ing over heap of old native dancing
dresses in the corner, examining them
with all the ardor of the ethnologist
Presently he selected out of the heap
few that looked like large old-fashioned
beehives, examining them with anxious
care-yes, actually trying them on.
"Corbet," he said presently, his head
half muff1ed in a mass of something like
hay, "look out and see if there are any
dresses like this in the dance"
"There is one," l said, peering through
the hole.
"A thing like beehive on two feet

peep cautiously out together, and Gore
came and joined us.
EYES," he said, after glance; "it's the
duk-duk dance. You may be glad it is.
The duk-duk was performing solemn
chasse down the middle of the village,
looking, l must say, like the maddest
and most horrible figure that ever es-
capped from nightmare dance. Its form

that topped the shuffling figure, took from

strangely enough, seemed to terrify or

around his head. The other natives
closed in round them after this, and l
could see little; but Thought that Gore
was gesticulating with his hands and MAX
ing signs, and that there was good deal
of general chattering among the group.
By and by he came back, walking across
the square with the easy, care-free step
of man who has not trouble in the
world.

@Make Bo have try l suggested.
"His language must be fairly near theirs,
since he isn't twenty miles from his own
place."
WE had some trouble in kicking Bo up
off the ground and setting him to
work; in fact, it took the muzzle of my
revolver to persuade him. But in the end
he gave in, and, trembling all over, tried
his linguistic requirements on the chief.
His report was that all the white men
were killing everybody, and the chief of
the town thought we had been sent to kill
him. 1t was apparently his intention to
keep us under observation for a little
while, and if no reinforcements followed
us, Bo thought he would probably give
orders to have the party eaten.
"Good hearing" said Red Bob. II

the coast, sounds as if all New Britain

Meantime, in the square outside some
thing new was preparing, and it sounded,
to my inexperienced ears, as if half dozen
liners with sirens in good order, and fifty
strong donkeys in fine voice, had entered
the village and begun competition
against one another.
Lord, must have look at this!" |
exclaimed.

sago sheath door, and saw that nearly
every man in the place had got either
set of pan-pipes made of different lengths
of bamboo, or single long pipe, or else

as main drain-pipe-these last furnish
ing the extraordinary booming noises that
dominated all the rest.
THE savages were dancing as they
played-dancing in solid circle that
went round and round on itself like cattle
milling" when they swim across
stream. They held their heads low to
play on their pipes; they lifted their legs
till knees almost struck on chins; they
looked less like human beings, and more
like prancing, believing bisons, than
had ever seen them look yet. l would
not give Isola place at the hole, for l
thought by their appearance that they
were working up" as Red Bob had said,
and began to see we were in tighter
place than any of us had supposed. If
they got themselves up to the proper
point of bloodthirsty excitement before
morning, no questions of prudence were
likely to restrain them from knocking us
on the head.
told Isola that the men were playing
on bamboos, and that it wasn't particu-
larly interesting. Whether she believed
me or not can not say; but she did not
try to look out. Silence fell for little
while inside the dark brown house; we
saw each other only as shadows stirring
family in the dark; we heard nothing
but the inhuman honking and hooting of
the savage music in the square.
Presently l heard Red Rob strike
a match, and saw him standing up, in

me with kind of cruel curiosity that I
did not altogether care for. 1t seemed al
most as if they knew lot of unpleasant
things about me and about my party
that they didn't choose to tell.
We sat down on the ground and ate,
leaving our own stores unopened, by Red
Bob's advice.
"Trouble among natives, eight cases
out of ten, he said, "begins by looting.
We won't tempt them"
We were hardly through our meal when
man advanced toward us, holding
green branch in his hand-the sign of
peace. He motioned to us to get up and
follow him. l saw Gore calculating the
chances of making rush; but the square
was hemmed in two deep with fighting
men, and what we might have attempted
as forlorn hope, had we been alone,
could not be thought of for Isola.
We followed the man to house near
one end of the village-a low, matched
building with walls of sage palm and
pointed grass roof. 1t had door, but no
windows, after the fashion of their houses.
Into this retreat he led us, showing the
way with torch; and when he had seen
all four safely inside, he went away, shut
ting the door behind him.

in the light of prison. Any one could
have cut way out in five minutes with
pen-knife. But Judged that our guards
were to be the entire village, and it was not
likely that they would permit us to escape.

RICHARDSON URGES
 MONEY FOR ROADS

Further development of Alaska's system of roads and trails cannot be expected unless congress increas- es the allotment of funds, declares Col. Wm. P. Richardson, president Of the Alaska board of road commis- sjoners in his annual report presented to the war department.
 The funds allotted, he says, are now entirely consumed in repairing and maintaining the existing roads. This, according to Colonel Richard son, will become practically fix cd condition from year to year, with the amount of mileage now re- quired to be maintained, and al-. though additional new projects, all more or less meritorious, are being presented to the board every year, with petitions for aid, it is impos- sible for the board to respond, eX- cept to a very limited degree.
 Colonel Richardson has submit ted a plan for the extension Of the roads covering q period of three years, with an estimate of S75O,oOO for the first year and it is earnestly hoped that this plan may receive favorable action before the open ing of next seasons work.
 While disclaiming any intention oi opposing the projected railway con struction ill Alaska, Colonel Rich ardson repeats the former statement of the board that no rapid or general development in Alaska will follow the construction of trunk lines of railroads to the interior unless preceded or accompanied Dy the construction of any wagon roads and trails as fe, CTS.
 Regarding the bill now before congress to create a general develop ment board for Alaska to open it's resources, Colonel Richardson de- clares that "it Is no egotism to say that no other agency of the govern ment is more competent or better equipped for such tasks than the army" and he points to the e1ten- sIve public works accomplished in Al aska in connection with the cable and telegraph systems and the roads and trails cut through the wilder ness to support this statement.
