CHAPTER LVII.
SAFETY FIRST.

Not for one instant did Hernandez
lose the advantage that he had already
gained.
He held his hypnotic glance upon the
chief of this man-eating tribe. He drove
home the fact-by eye and powerful
gesture-that the Brute was what they
believed him to be-a great god of the
sea. Without the presence of the Brute,
Hernandez would have failed He need
ed all that the Brute had-the strength,
the huge white mop of hair and beard
the humble of the mouth, the weak in
sanity of eye-all these had played into
his hands. Because of these, he still
lived. Single-handed, Hernandez by this
time would have been food for vultures
or for sharks-after he had furnished
forth a meal for this crew of savages.
With audacity that belonged only to
him, he led the Brute to the chiefs own
throne-a rude affair composed of a
rough seat under overhanging bowers.
Cost" he exclaimed to the Brute.
He enforced the command with a shower
of blows. The Brute obeyed. He lum-
bered across the clearing and sat him
down.
Now" said Hernandez, with his eyes
and hands, to the chief of the tribe
worship him again.
The chief obeyed. So did his follow
ers. Hernandez, standing by the Brute S
side, regarded them with a grin of tri-
umph. Then he stepped quickly forward
and lifted the chief to his feet. He
looked him squarely in the eye. Then
he laid one hand upon his stomach, and
pointed with a finger to his mouth.
Hungry" said the eye and hand of
Hernandez, to the chief, "the god still
hungry-and the master of god, very,
very hungry, still"
The chief spread his hand. He pointed
toward the jungle whence had sped the
several captives unbound by the Brute.
Hernandez smiled-a deadly, wicked
smile.
Beast" he exclaimed, stay where
you are" He beckoned to the chief.
you come iwth me- he sighed.
The chief nodded, beckoned to num-
Der of his bodyguard. and followed
Hernandez through the jungle. At a
knoll on its outskirts Hernandez held
his fingers to his lips. Then he pushed
the chiefs head through the bushes.
The chief looked. He looked far out
across the placid water of the Pacific,
and there he saw a wreck
"Um-m" exclaimed the chief, smack
ing his lips.
"Ah," laughed Hernandez to himself,
"you know what that means all right"

His mother was exhausted
the shock of Joe Welcher's death,
and the shock of the shipwreck had
completely unnerved her. She had
become hysterical. Annette spent
her time alternately nursing Mrs.
Hardin, and directing the erection OF
a temporary hut out of the driftwood
that had floated in from the wreck.
Maybe it's our home, for all we
know Annette said to the busy
crew, $50 We'll build it the best we
know. Neal" she exclaimed, run

Neal pondered. He pointed to a
group of palm trees a quarter of a
mile away.

But the crew hung back, even to
the first mate. The shore is good

I'm dead afraid of snakes"
Neal kicked off his shoes and ran
to the waters edge. He wriggled
into the soft white sand with his feet.
He stopped wriggling, withdrew one
foot and kicked out behind. A
heavy object landed at Annette's
feet. = ..'

boys. You do the heavy work. Dig.

With Annette by his side he sped
across the narrow fringe of verdure,
and with the agility of born sailor,
trained to the top notch, he sprang
upon the trunk of the first palm tree
that he reached, and in the twinkling
of an eye had clambered to it's
branches. ..~."n
"Cocoanuts it is" he cried gayly,

Annette watched out and to some
purpose. A shower of cocoanuts fell
to the ground.
When they reached the shore
again, the crew had roasted goodly
quantity of clans. Annette served
them to Mrs. Hardin. Meals mother
drew herself together.
Il ought to be ashamed of myself
for giving in" she cried in firm
voice, goodness knows I've seen
enough of hardship to get used to it.

Annette turned to Inez. Inez had
been sitting in one attitude for hours.

OPPOSED TO MUTILATIoN OF STONE
MOUNTAIN

! MOUNTAIN.
/ College Point, n. Y. Jan. %, 1915.
Mrs. w. II. FELTON,.
! Gainesville, Ga.
Dear Madam: While visiting i'm Geor-
gia last fall I heard rumors (Which
have since been confirmed by the news
papers, of a project to deface the steep
side of Stone Mountain with carvings of
| Civil war scenes; and 1 was glad to
see from your letter i'm The Atlanta
Semi-Weekly Journal of December "a
that you are not very enthusiastic about
such a colossal and extravagant piece OF
vandalism.
Stone mountain is one of the great
natural wonders of the United States
and IL would be a pity to damage il
any more than has already been done
by the quarrymen at its eastern base.
Instead of allowing it to be mutilated
further the state ought to buy it and
preserve il as a natural monument for
all time. At il has stood for countless
centuries and will probably last sever
al more in spite of the Entertainments
of civilization, it does not seem very
appropriate to disfigure it permanently
with 18th century scenes, that happen
ed i'm other states. ...
If the temptation to do something to
IL cannot be resisted indefinitely, the
present or some future century may
develop something still more worthy of
commemoration and more appropriate
to the immediate locality. and Georgia
may yet produce sculptor equal to the
gigantic task. -.
There is no danger of the Civil war
being forgotten as long as printed books
! exist, and it has been and can be COM
memorated also by paintings and statu-
airy, at far less expense than carving
heroic figures on the side of mountain.
There was some economic excuse for
the spoliation of Tallulah Falls and
Okefinokee swamp. two other great
natural wonders of Georgia, and of
! Niagara Falls and the Palisades of New
Jersey, but there is apparently none in
/ this case. Few people will benefit by
/ it except the sculptor (who is not a
/ Georgian at alb, and even he may lose
his life in the attempt tas a few people
| have already done at the same place.
If Stone mountain has got to. be con-
verted into a billboard, paint should be
/ used on it first, and then the scenes
| can be changed every few decades If
desired. Any carvings that are maze
! in the rock will be covered with Iichens
! in a few years anyway, and thus De
hardly visible until one stands almost
under them. L sincerely hope that the
plan will be deferred a few years at
| least, and no hasty steps taken which
may be regretted later.
A thousandth part of the estimated
! cost of the sculpturing would pay for
a comprehensive report on the states
forests. or some other natural resource
on which we have little authentic and
accessible information at present, and
! thus benefit all the intelligent citizens
of Georgia, and not merely one northern
sculptor and his workmen.

Kerosene Engine Prices Down

The time has come when you can put

NEW INDUSTRIES
IN THE SOUTH

Columbus, Ca, Oct. 2S.-The In
dustrial Index says in its issue for
this week:
There is a great volume of bust
ness in the southeast, with 6 great
amount of money in circulation.
Many different sources of revenue
have been yielding largely, business
is excellent in various lines, payrolls
are greater in the aggregate than
ever before, perhaps, and the season
is proving as good as was antici-
pated-in many respects better.
at is felt that prosperity has just
made a beginning and that, with a
substantial foundation, it will be
continuous. Next year, il is expected,
will be the best business year the
south has ever known. And there are
good reasons for the belief.
"The erection of many residences
is typical of the growth of this sec
tion. A company at Miami, Fla,
which owns coast tract of 265 acres
has perfected financial arrangements
for the continuous building of resi-
dences to cost $500 and up. The
cost of thirteen residences now. being
erected at Miami, is estimated TO
amount to approximately $8.650,000.
Included in this are the two Deer
ing estates, estimated at S250,000
and one at $150,0O0. The construction
of 100000 residence in Savannah,
Ca, has just been begun. A cotton
mill company in Great Falls, S. c.,
has awarded contract for, the cree
ton Of 100 residences of one and
two stories for employees.
"a total of eighteen corporations
have been organized with minimum
capital stocks aggregating $1,046,-
500.

work to be done, as reported this
week, are:
