THIRTEENTH INSTALLMENT
WHITE GODS
CHAPTER w.
Anthropophaui.

tent factors even with savage tribe.
The man-eaters of this South Pacific
island, cringed in terror before the
blank and staring eyes of the big
Brute.
His blank and staring eyes! They,
too. had their weird effect.
''Look-see." whimpered this crowd
of latter-day cannibals. the one to the
other, he sees across the world-he
talks with spirits-he is a god!"
The Brute, save for the slight weav-
ing of his massive figure from side to
side, stood quiet and impassive. He
was wholly unafraid
Behind him, however, crouched an
other figure that told another story.
Hernandez, his hands still manacled.

resourcefuFhe knew his power.
Beast, he whispered-and tremu-
lous though it was. it still was COM
mand, Beast, you've got them down.
Seize the foremost spike and run them
through. Be quick
The Brute heard his masters voice,
and Immediately obeyed. He stopped,
and STOPPING. wrenched from the fore
most naked figure the deadly weapon
that the latter held within his grasp.
1t was relinquished without a struggle.
Its former possessor stretched himself
full upon the ground, waiting the death
thrust. His savage companions drew
back upon their launches, their eyes
glowing with religious fervor.
"A sacrifice" they cried, "a sacri-
fee"
But there was 20 sacrifice. Instead,
the Brute merely held the spear aloft
for moment-held it in the air with
both his hands. Then he brought it
crushing down across his knee, and
broke it clean in twain.
Eye-yah!' There was an ejacula-
ton Of wonder-of brute applause for
brute strength.
The erstwhile possessor OF the spear
as ugly-faced an individual as ever
ate pound of human hesh-touched
the Brute upon the shoulder and point
ed toward the jungle.
Follow him, Beast cried Herman
dez a bit impatiently, nothing can
harm us now"
For the first time the Brute seemed
conscious of his masters presence. He
turned and faced Hernandez. He
grunted in uncertainty.
"Look-see," said the leader, in his
cultural accents and primitive tongue,
look-see. This man is his captive.
The god is hungry. He would eat"
The leader pointed to the manacled
hands OF Hernandez. He made a sign
"a sign Immediately obeyed. A dozen
blacks sprang forward. seized Her.
nandez and swung his body to their
shoulders. Then at another word of
command, they started of, jog trot to-
ward the jungle. Hernandez strug-
gled like q maniac, but TO no purpose.
Then he yelled:
Follow, Beast, follow he cried.
Save me. Come"
The Brute followed. wondering. Not
for one instant did he suspect the
man-eaters had sinister designs upon
his master
Finally they entered a wide clear
ing. In the middle OF this clearing
was a village of struggling huts and
tents. 1t was a ghastly village-an
ill-smelling village. Scattered about
1t were skulls and bones enough to
furnish jolly Rogers to hundred pi-
rate ships. It became clear hen to
Hernandez that the party on the beach

Reason and Instinct.

A certain north country miner was
particularly proud Of a clever little dog
he possessed. At times he was apt to
claim little too much for his pet, and
one morning neighbor was endeavor-
ing to point out the difference between
instinct and reason when IN amusing
interruption occurred. A seedy looking
tramp turned the corner, and the dog,
without so much as word from his
master, sprang into the road and Of
fered battle.
"There you are," laughed the miner
as the dog snapped and snarled around
the heels Of the tramp. "'E don't Ike
the looks of the chap. That's Instinct"
Suddenly the tramp turned and kick
ed the dog into an adjacent field.
"There you are" calculated the min
er's friend grimly. "The chap don't like
the looks of the dog. An that's rea-
son."-LondOn Tit-Bits.

Gsoraiana of tho Caucasus.

Though the Russians are the domi-
nant race in the Caucasus, the arist0-
Gratis of the very mixed population OF
that region are the GeOrgians. A peo-
pie Of mysterious antecedents-their
race, according to some ethnologists,
being older even than the Egyptians
they stand upon higher plane of CIV
ilization and culture than any Of their
neighbors. Formerly Georgia was an
independent kingdom, and Its people,
converted to Christianity in the fourth
century, have never relapsed into the
Mohammedanism Of the surrounding
tribes. Their golden age was the
twelfth century, in the days of the
great Queen Thamara. Now there are
no more kings in Georgia, but an amaz-
ing number of princes. 1t Is Russian
joke that every Georgian, whatever his
occupation, boasts title. 1t might be
added, with more truth, that every
Georgian is a poet.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Babylonians Feared Ghosts.

In a lecture on Burial Customs In
Mesopotamia and Egypt" DR.. L. w.
King, F. s. A.. said the spirit which
animated the Egyptians in their varied
and changing practices toward the dead
was based on affection and reverence,
but the Babylonian, in the main, was
prompted by fear. The Babylonians
were probably more spook ridden than
any other nation Of antiquity, and their
magical texts made 1t clear that the
most terrible class Of spirits were the
ghosts Of the dead, who for some rea-
son had been unable to enter the un-
derworld. Driven by hunger and thirst,
such a ghost might roam about and
fasten on any one with whom 1t had
had relations IN this life, and 1t would
plague him until he performed the
rites that could give it peace. 1t was
mainly to lay the ghost and prevent 1t
from haunting" that the Babylonians
were scrupulous in performing the due
burial rites.-London Times.
