White GODS
CHAPTER ".
Anthropophaoi,

A white face-a white beard! Po-
tent factors even with a 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,
trembled with fear. But he was still
resourceful-he 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.
It was relinquished without 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-
dce."
But there was no sacrifice. Instead,
the Brute merely held the spear aloft
for a 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 fesh-touched
the Brute upon the shoulder and point
ed toward the jungle.
Follow him, Beast" cried Herman
aez 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 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 off, jog trot to-
! ward the jungle. Hernandez strug-
gled like maniac, but to no purpose.
Then he yelled:
Follow, Beast, follow" he cried.
Save me. Come
The Brute followed, wondering. Not
for ore instant did he suspect the
man-eaters had sinister designs upon
his master.
Finally they entered a wide clear
i ing. In the middle of this clearing
was a village of struggling qhuts and
tents. 1t was a CHASTITY village IAN

Village Buys Oil. Machine

The street sprinkler will soon be a
relic of the past at Elbow Lake. The
village council last week bought a
street oiler: and 5000 gallons of oil
and the streets will be attended to
as soon as the equipment arrives.
The oiler has a capacity of 450
gallons and cost $500. The cost of
the oil was $5. As per hundred gallons
delivered at Elbow Lake. Those who
have investigated the matter say con-
siderable money will be saved by
using oil instead of water to subdue
the street dust. The Elbow Lake
council have announced their willing
ness to loan the machine to any town
ship or to the county commissioners in
case these dignitaries decide to attend
to the country roads.
