THEY WALK
IN FIRE

gTXHE natives of Tahiti are kept
in awe of their priests by a
eeremony known as the Fire
Walk. Little do they know that
they too could walk across the
rocks, beneath which roars a fire,
II the priests would let them.
In the ceremony Of the Fire
walk, logs are placed In a shall
low ditch and set on fire. Large
rocks of porous basalt are heaped
on top in several layers. The
fire is permitted to burn furiousiy
for several hours. Then when
the lowest layer Is red hot and
the rocks split apart with loud
reports, and flames shoot up
through the center. the Fire
walkers parade back and forth
across the stones.
This may be done without In
jury to hardened native feet,
since porous basalt is poor con-
ducter of heat. While the lowest
layer may be forbiddingly hot,
the topmost layer is comparative
ly cool. But the natives know
nothing about porous basait and
are awed.

He felt that he was himself

tried to laugh, but It was rather
a poor attempt And st. PierTe's
wife did not seem to hear him.
She was looking at him, looking

wideopen glowing eyes. Then she

he thought, one like Cleopatra
herself, not afraid to kill-and
equally quick to make amends
when there was a mistake.
There came the quiet opening
Of the cabin door to break in
upon his thought. He hoped it
was Jeanne Marie-Anne returning
to him. 1t was Nepapinas. The
old Indian stood over him for
. moment and put a cold, claw
like hand to his forehead. He
grunted and nodded his head, his
little sunken eyes cleaning with
satisfaction. Then he put his
hands under David's arms and
lifted him until he was sitting
upright, with three or four pill
lows at his back.

don't mind-my last lunch was

soft voice behind him.
Nepapinas slipped away, and
Jeanne Marie-Anne stood in his
place. David stared up at her,
speechless. He had heard the door
close behind the old Indian. Then
Jeanne Marte-Anne drew up a
chair. so that for the first time he
could see her clear eyes with the
light of the day full upon her.
He forgot that a few days ago
she had been his deadliest enemy,
He forgot the existence Of a man
named Black Roger Audemard.
Her slimness was as it had pic

he was forced to take It in or
have its contents spilled over
him. The spoon continued to
move quickly between the bowl
and his mouth. He was robbed
of speech. And the girls eyes,
as surely as he was alive. were
beginning to laugh at him. They
were a wonderful brown, with
little, golden specks in them,

not have picked her out. But
close. like this. with her eyes
smiling at him, she was adorable.
Something of Carrigan's s thoughts
must have shown in his face, for
suddenly the girls lips tightened
a little, and the warmth went
out Of her eyes, leaving them
cold and distant. He finished the
soup, and she rose again to her
feet.
Her Plea

"Nepapinas say that you may

''You know don't mean that.
I want to know why you shot

"I shot you by n1istake-and--

Carrigan interjected.

to him.

one of her hands creeping to her
bare throat, as If to cover the
throbbing he had seen there.
"Why is it irnpossible? he de-
manded. leaning away from his
pillows so that he might bring
himself nearer to her.
"Because-you are of the police,
m'sieu."
.oThe police, yes" he said, his
heart thrumming inside his breast.
"I am Sergeant Carrigan. am
out after Roger Audemard, "a
murderer. But my commission
has nothing to do with the daugh-
ter of st. Pierre Boulain. Please
let's be friends"
! He held out his hand; and in
that moment David Carrigan
placed another thing higher than
duty-and in his eyes was the
confession Of 1t, like the glow OF
subdued fire. The girls fingers
drew more closely at her throat,
and she made no movement to
accept his hand.
Friends" he repeated. Friends

Slowly the girls eyes had
widened, as IL she saw that new
born thing riding over all things
in his swiftly beating heart. And
afraid of it, she drew a step away
from him.
II am not st. Pierre Boulain's
daughter" she said, forcing the
words out one by one. Il am
his wife.
A Great Shock
Afterward Carrigan wondered
to what depths he had fallen in
the first moments of his disil-
lusionhent. Something like shock,
perhaps even more than that,
must have betrayed itself in his
face. He did not speak. Slo 7ly
his outstretched arm dropped to
the white counterpane. Later he
called himself a fool for allowing
1t to happen. for 1t was as Il he
had measured his proffered
friendship by what its future
might hold for him.
In a low, quiet voice Jeanne
Marie-Anne Boulain was saying
again that she was st. Pierre's
wife. She was not excited, yet

them were little flecks Of gold.
