BY G. M. DYOTT.

Surrounded by predatory Kamaiulas
in our camp on the sandbar at the
confluence Of the Kuluseu and Kuluene
Rivers, determined on the only course
left to us If we valued our lives.
AT o'clock, as the sun began to sink
and the storm center gathered on our
sandbar, called that throSg of indig-
nant savages together.
"Kamaiula, Caraiba, WOW WOW WOW,
said I, pointing to the beach. In other
words, Let the Kamaiula and the white
man talk things over" They all col
lected at the waters edge.
Addressing myself to Jacuma, asked
him to point out all the head men of
his company. With q fine, sweeping
gesture Of the arm he indicated that all
were men Of importance, and I must
admit they were a flne-looking lot. The
idea that only head men received
presents had taken hold among the In
dtans, so now every one claimed to be a
head man, no matter what his position
in the tribe might be. In despair, gave
up all hope of making deal with these
people. One outlet only remained.
Went Through Act.
Slowly and painfully I went through
a little act that I had thought out in
advance. Over and over again re-
peated 1t, uttering only an occasional
word to emphasize my meaning,
pointed YEARLY to all the Indians
grouped around about me and then to
the tranquil forest as If to say, "You
are all tired, go and Sleep" Then lay
down on the sand as If exhausted and
closed my eyes. For a few seconds ]
snored as II in profound slumber Open
ing my eyes again, pointed to the east
where the sun would rise next day,
saying, "Iti," which means sun.
I then got up briskly, stopped over an
empty packing case In which had put
knife, opened the lid, and went
through the motions of extricating
knives and handing them out to the
multitude.
AS grand finale I got into q canoe
and pointed down stream saying tuna"
which Is the Indian word for house, at
the same time again doled out imagi-
nary gifts. AL of this meant that we
were very tired and would first go to
sleep. At daybreak when we felt re-
freshed would open up some boxes and
which I would go down river to the
malocas of the Kanaiulas and give
away more presents, returning that
same day up the Kuluene.
My pantomime was fully understood.
Tonight the weary would sleep. To-
morrow Santa Claus would distribute
Of his bounty. So the meeting broke

triumphantly indicated.
Hour for Action.
TO my intense relief some crowded
into canoes and crossed to the further
shore. They hung up their hammocks In
the forest like so many children who
hang up stockings on Christmas eve.

ruse saved his employers more than

It all happened like this: An uni

NEW YORK, June 10
(LN.S.). Two Desperate
lovers lay side by side on icy
stone slabs today in the city
morgue.
They were Margaret Lawrence,
beautiful actress, once magic
name along Broadway, and Louis
Bennison, not without former fame
as a two-gun cowboy on stage and
screen.
Both had played in i'll luck in
recent months. Bennison's last
play was the George Scarborough
thriller, ''The Heaven-Tappsrs.
Miss Lawrence, in the bad graces
of producers and the central fig
ure in a domestic tangle that
brought into a. clash with her late
work since the month before
Christmas.
She had taken q luxurious Pent-
Fifty-first St.. in the shadow OF
I
which she was once a part.
Here it was that she and Beuni-
son brooded over their fallen for
tunes; here it was that both drank
heavily to ward off their cumula-
tive sorrow.
Shot Through Heart
Bennison played his last melo-
drama. He fired a bullet straight
through the heart of his beloved as
she slept. Then he knelt beside her
body and sent bullet through his
own heart.
The ex-cowboy had left a wife and
child in California to live with the
blonde beauty. He was given a
chance to "come back" by obtaining
a lead part in This Thing Called
Love-" which was to open tonight.
An autopsy win be performed to-
day on the bodies OF the two lovers
and officials will decide whether the
tragedy was suicide pact or mott

A note in a scrawling hand was
found pinned to the door. 1t read.
The sunset will take care of
both of us.
'TIANNA."
Written by Actress
Mrs. Gertrude Chalaire. of Long
Island City, life long friend of Miss
Lawrence said that the note was
written by the actress.
However, the fact that the stage
star was peacefully asleep when
she was slain suggested some doubt
as to the love pact theory. Or
possibly Miss Lawrence, after reach
ing the grim agreement, slipped off
into a stupor. Empty liquor bot
ties and glasses Uttered the fash
ionably furnished apartment.
