A certain family in an eastern city
includes several children, but only
one-the eldest--is a boy. The little
lad longed for brother. Recently
the house was rather upset. A nurse
who had appeared on the scene came
to the little boy.
What do you think you've got?"
she asked him.
"A baby brother!" fairly gasped the
youngster.

piled the nurse.
"Aw!' groaned the youngster, "am

Not for one instant did Hernandez
lose the advantage that he had al.
ready gained.
With audacity that belonged only
to him, he led the Brute to the chiefs
own throne-a rude affair composed Of
rough seat under overhanging bow
ers.
"Go-sit," he exclaimed to the Brute.
He enforced the command with a
shower of blows. The Brute obeyed.
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 point
ed toward the jungle whence had sped
the several captives unbound by the
Brute.
Hernandez smiled-a deadly, wicked
smile.

you are" He beckoned to the chief.
"You come with me-" he signed.
The chief nodded, beckoned to a
number Of his bodyguard, and fol-
lowed Hernandez through the jungle.
At knoll on its outskirts Hernandez
held his fingers to his lips. Then he
pushed the chiefs head through the
bushes.

mand.
The chief looked. He looked far out
across the placid waters of the Pa

For one instant he looked about him,
getting his bearings. Then he started
on. For many minutes the party

With the swiftness of two savages,
Hernandez and the chief darted be-
hind the trunks of two separate trees.
Hernandez pointed toward the beach,
White meat, you old gourmand," I"
whispered Hernandez. white meat.
And very tender"
Down on the beach, busying them
selves about their self-appOinted tasks,
were Annette and her foster mother.
There were several members of the
fruit steamers crew-all white. There
was Inez Castro-also white-but an
outcast, sitting, brooding by herself.
Hernandez counted the men.
I'VE need four to one, at least" he
said to himself. Then he nodded to
the chief and held up the fingers of
both hands several times. The chief
understood. He was a warrior. He
knew that much safety lay in num-
bers. He beckoned to two of his
men and gave them orders. They crept
back, silently through the trail.
Hernandez and the chief wriggled
back into the underground and then
sat down to wait.
Annettes party suddenly made up
its mind to deeamp. The discovery OF
the skull upon the beach was a dis
turbing fact.

He glanced casually toward the
grove of palms, this sailor. Then
with an oath he sprang to his feet.

weapon, we're in for it. Women in
the shed. Look, here they come"
The other sailors, with the swiftness
of seamen in a sudden squall, we're
upon their feet, each with weapon in
his hand. They forced the women
into the hut and formed a circle,
guarding it, And then broke the
storm.

her toward the jungle. A sailor who
followed was stricken down. But it
was Hernandez who stopped the cap

him b. the arm.
Back" he ordered, with a sign
that spelled fury, back there. This
woman belongs to me-"

security, let us be noncombatants for

Inez shivered. She dragged Her
nandez toward an opening between the
trees.
Look, look" she cried, her face
rigid with terror, Its horrible, hor-
rible. horrible"
A short time later, by the side of
Hernandez, she stumbled blindly
through the jungle-in the midst of
a bowling, painting mob of half-naked
warriors. The warriors were the vic
tors. And they bore with them the
spoils-two women, still alive, small
squad of torn and battered sailors, and
few silent figures-silent forever.
What are they going to do?" walled
Inez.
Hernandez shrugged his shoulders.
"Its out of my hands" he said, but
