temperance of the ancient admirer who had
visited Lariat earlier in the day Arizona was
hidden from the old Jockey by an angle of the
wall but it is doubtful if he would have no

business of approaching cautiously. A length
of old rope lay in his path. and when he
reached it he drew back with a smothered
curse and only after reassuring himself of its
real nature, did he find courage to step over it.
LAS if the hoss wouldn't know it first if
snake was in here!' Arizona thought. Il
wonder what the old no-good, soft-hooved,
undernourished maverick is up to anyways
She did not have long to wait for an answer
to this question, for the old man exchanged
soft noises with Larlat. The horse came and
leaned his head as far over the stall as possible.
The old man stood on keg to reach the soft
muzzle. and for several seconds they held

ferrous language which is only spoken by the
intimates of horsekind and maEkind. As soon

made her way back there.
Ordinarily jealously guarded, Lariat had
been left alone for few moments. and in
those moments a great many things hap

the gate of the stall, was just in time to see
the last of Mr. Spratt's contracts wiggle their
way through the jaws of Gladys, the goat.
Arizona sank down upon stool in the nearest
corner with sigh of dismay. Now she was

Marines and blue jackets have accompanied scientific and other missions to parts of the globe but rarely have such enterprises proved exciting than surveying expedition to the Fiji Islands, where treaty with the native chietains was signed in 1840 Primitive customs still prevailed in the archipelago, where cannbasm was said to be
 ractced and the Fiji Islanders viewed the arrival of a naval squadron manned by white men with some suspicion Shortly after the peace pact was signed hostile natives robbed cutter which had drifted ashore in storm, the naval men escaping in launch which had accompanied the cutter. The Americans retaated by burning native village, but few days later they again set upon by the natives while they attempting to barter for supplies On this occasion two of the naval officers killed and seaman was wounded Again the marines and blue jackets took steps to exact retributon from the s flanders, who were not brought to terms before two other villages were attacked and destroyed The na tves then admitted that the murder of the naval men had been entirely unprovoked and sued for pardon which was quickly granted Fifteen years later h 1855, and again in 1858, U. S. Marines and blue jackets took punitive action against the Fjians after they had been guilty of both murder and robbery the memory of similar offenses and the punishment therefore apparently having been forgotten. It was not until 1874 when the islands were annexed by Great Britain, that the safety of American ships in those waters could be assured Since that time only the frendliest relations between the inhabitants of those Pacific Islands and country have beer maintained Log of the U.

 The traditional costumes are vanishing, however. It took hours of travelling and the special oc- casion of a wedding to enable me to see in a distant village the women with their bright skirts and bodices, fine linen head dresses, and the men with en- broidered waistcoats, white fringed trousers and polished boots. Most of the younger men and women wear 'store clothes" now, except when they bring the costumes out of the moth for special occasions.
