tne day I arrived in Apia harbor
with a cargo of ynrna which I in
tended to sell to un American man
of-war,. the Resaccn. I went along
side at once, had the yams weighed,
and reoetved my money from the pay
master, men i went ashore for a
bathe in the Vaisigago rivor, a lovely
little stream which, takintr It rlu
in the mountains, debouches into Apia
harbor. Here I was joined by an old
friend. Cant. Hamilton, the local dIIoL
who, stripping off his olothea,
plunged into the water bvslrte me.

tered me water ana began disporting
themselves, when, to my surprise, I
saw that their leader was a white
nmn, tattooed jn every respect like a
Samoan. He appeared to be about an
years of age, was clean shaven, and
u aa iignt-red hair.
. "Who is that fellow V I inoulravl.
."One of the biggest scoundrels in
the Pacific," replied nay companion
wan Harry,' from aaval'L He d
serted from either the Briak or the
Zealous British man-of-war about
seven years ago, and although the
commanders of several other British
warships have tried to get him, they
have failed. He ia the pet protege of
one of the most nowarful ishiafa in
Saval'l, and laughs at all attempts to
caton nun. 10 my knowledge he has

extensive harem as well. He simply
terrorizes the town when ha hrenVa
out, and insults every timid European
ne meets, maie ana female.
"Why doesn't some one nut a hnl.

"Ah, now you re nsking 'Why?' Por

him that ho would be riddled if he
came inside his fence; and the scoun

reprimand us for taking the law into
our own hands: but if vou or nnv nth.

would be taken to Fiji by the first
man-of-war that called here, put on
your trial for munler, and, if you es
caped hanging, you would get a pret
ty turn of penal servitude in the Fiji
jail."
We finished our bath, dressed, and
set out for Hamilton's house on
Mutautu Tolnt, for he had asked me
to have supper with him. On our way
thither we met the master of a Ger
man Tiarone then, in rjort. and wet n
chatting with aim when Mr. "Flash
as . . . a -
xiarry ana ms retinue of manaiA
(young bucks) overtook us. The path
being narrow, we drew aside a few
paces to let them purs: but at a alim
- . ' o
from their lender they stopped. He
nodded to Hamilton and the German
captain, but neither took any notice
of him; then he fixed his eyes inso
lently on me, uvl held out his hand.
"How do ver do. mister? You'ra a
nice sort of a core not to come and
see me when you passed my place in
your cutter." Then, with sudden fury,
aa I nut mv hAnda In my nnokata..
- - " v a
you, you young cock-a-hoopy
-I vo you mean to say you don't
mean to shake hands with a white
man?1 " , "
"Not with you. anyway." I an-
! rrx taw atxt time T -i yws nJ
fJuD your - am outof t'he socket,"
he said, with an oath; and, turning
on hlA heel, he, went off with his fol
lowing of bucks. All of them . were
armed with rifles and the long be-heading-knlvea
called ni.'a oti (death
knife), and as we three had nothing
but our fists, we shn-iM Tmve had a
lad time had they attacked ua, for
we were In an unfrequm't ri place, and
Would have been half-nui dered before
asatstance came. In Sui ioa in thoae
days street brawls were common.'
"The next time you do meet him,"
said Hamilton as we resumed our
walk, "don't give him a chanoe. Drill
a hole through him as soon aa he gets
within ten paces, and then clear out
of Samoa aa quick as you can."
Quite a month after thia I had to
visit the little port of Asaua, on the
island of Savai'i, and aa I waa aware
that "Flush Harry" waa in the vicinity
of the place on a malaga, or pleasure
trip, I kept a sharp lookout for him,
and always carried with me In my
jumper pocket a small but heavy Der
ringer, the bullet of which was as big
as that of a Snider rifle. I did not
want to have my arm pulled out, and
knew that "Flash Harry," being twice
my weight almost, would give me a
sad time if he could once get within
hitting distance of me; for, like most
men-of-war's men, he was very smart
with his hands, and I waa but a strip
ling, not yet 20.
I had come to Asaua with a load of
timber to be used In the construction
of a church for the French mission,
and in the evening went to the real
dest priest to obtain a receipt for de
livery. As he could not speak Eng
lish and I could not speak French, we
had to struggle, along in Samoan, to
our common amusement. However,
we managed very well, and I waa
about to accept his hospitable offer
to remain and have supper with him
when a young chief named Ulufanua
("Top of a High Tree"), who knew
me well, came la hurriedly and told
us that "Flash Harry" and ten or fif
teen young men, all more or less
drunk, were coming to the village that
night with the avowed Intention of
boarding the cutter under the pre
tence of trading, then, after eclxtng
all the liquor, they meant to give me
a father of a beating the latter to
avenge the insult of a month before.
Laughingly telling the priest that
under the clrcumstoncea discration
was the better part of valor, I bade
htm good-by, and walked down to my
boat, which was lying on the beaoK
With two native sailors pulling, we
started for the cutter, a mile away.
The night was beautifully calm, but
dark; and as I was not well acquaint
ed with the inner part of Asaua har
bor, I several times ran the boat on
snmberged coral boulders. Finally I
lost tlje narrow channel altogether.
Then I told one of my men a
sturdy, splendid specimen of a native
of the Gilbert islands, named Te
Manu Uraura ("Red Bird"), to come
aft, and take the steer-oar, knowing
that his eyesight, like that of all
Polynesians, waa better than that of
any white man.
The poor fellow laughed good-na
turedly. I little thought that this
.i. order of mine would, when he
cuij pV and took the ateer oar from
roe, indirectly be the cause of an In
Jury which would cripple him for life,
I then seated myself on the after-
thwart and began to pull. We were at
this time about SO yards from the
beach, between it and the inner reef
of the haxhor. The boat had been seat
along for two or three hundred yards
without a hitch, and I was thinking
of what my cook would have for sup
per, when we suddenly plumped into
a patch of dead coral and stuck hard
and fast.
Knowing that the tide was foiling,
we all jumped out, and pushed the
boat cu into deeper water as quick
ly as possible, just as half-a-dozen
bright torches of coco-nut leaver
flared up on the shore, which revealed
the boat dimly to the torch bearers.
At first I imagined that the chief of
the village had sent some of his peo
pie to help us through the channel
but I was quickly undeceived when 1
heard "Flash Harry's" voice.
"I've got you now, my saucy, quar-
trrdeckstyle of rotten pup. Slew round
and come ashore, or 1 11 blow your
head off."
One glance towards the beach
showed me that we were in a desper
ate position. "Flash Harry," who was
nil but stark naked, having only a
girdle of ti-trcas leaves round his
waist, was covering the boat with his
Winchester rifle, and his armed fol
lowers were ready to fire a volley in
to us if they had not been so drunk.
They cant hit us, Te Manu," I cried
to the Gilbert islander, whoso Inborn
fighting proclivities were showing in
his gleaming eyes and short, pnnting
breaths. "Most of them have no car
tridges in their guns, and they are oil
too drunk to shoot straight. Let us
go on."
Te Manu gripped the haft of the
steer oar and swung the bont's head
round; and ten I and the native at
the bow oar a mere boy of 18 pulled
for nil we were worth, Just ns "Flash
Harry" dropped on one knee and fired.
roor Te Manu swayed to and fro
for a few momenta, and then cried
out, "He has broken my hand, sirl
But go on, pull pull hard!"
Lnder a spattering fire from the
beach-comber's drunken companions,
we pulled out into deeper water and
safety; then, . shipping' my oar, I
sprang to Te Menu's aid. The bullet
had struck him on the back of the
right hand, and literally cut off three
of the poor fellow's knuckles. I did
what I could to stop the loss of blood,
and told him to ait down; but he re
fused, and although suffering Intense
pain, Insisted on steering with his left
hand. As soon as we reached the cut
tiUwa;
brass to Itataita harbor, wtore I
waa able to have) tha man properly
attended to. T4 Mann, however, only
to very slight extent recovered the
usa of kia hand.
I never saw "Flaah Harry" again.
A few months later I left Samoa tor
the Caroline group, and a year after
warda I waa told that he had At last
found the country too hot for him,
and had left the island in a German
blakbltdar" bound to the Solomon
Islands.
Quito six year had passed before
I learns, to a somewhat arurious man
ner, what became of "Flaah Harry."
One day, in Sydney, New South Wales,
three captains And myself, all en
gaged in the South Sen trade, met far
lunch at the Paragon hotel on Circu
lar, Quay. One of the company, a
young man who was a stranger to
me, hd Just returned from the Solo
mon islands. H was very familiar
with the whole group And Its mur
derous, cannibal people, and had had
at mo veity narrow eaeapes And thrtU
Ing experlenceswhlch he narrated.
(Later I heard that lit 13S4 he and aU
his ship's company had been killed
on the Solomon group.)
We were talking of the massacre
ef Capi. Ferguson and the crew of
the Sydney trading-steamer Hippie by
the natives of Bougainville island, in
the Solomon group, when the yaung
skipper remarked, "Ah I poor Fergu
son ought to have been more careful.
Why, the very chief of that village at
Kama Numa the man who out him
down with a tomakawk had killed
two other white men. Ferguson
knew that, and yet would allow him
to some aboard time after time with
hundreds of his people, and gave
him and them the run of the ship I
I knew the fellow well. He told me
to my fsee, the first time I met him,
that he had kiUed and eatca two
white men."
"Who were they?" I asked.
"One was a man trading for Capt.
MacLeod of New Caledonia; the other
chap was some beach-combing fellow
who had been kicked ashore at Numa
Numa by the skipper. I heard he
eaue from Samoa originally. Any
way, the chief told me that as soon
ss the ship that had put the man
ashore had aalled, he was spun red
through the back as he was drinking
from a coconnut. When they stripped
off his clothes to make him ready for
the oven, they found he was tattooed,
BAmoan fashion, from the waist to
the knees. Then, as ho had red hair,
they cut off his head and smoke-dried
It, Instead of eating it with the rest
of the body, and kept it as on orna
ment for the stoat of a big canoe. A
whits man's head Is a great thing
at any time for a canoe's figure-head
In the Solomons, hut a white man's
head with red hair is a great mana."
Then i said to bun that I had
known the man. and told him his an
tecedents.
"Ahl" he said, "I dare say If you
had been there you would have felt
as if you cduld bat eaten a bit of
the beggar yourself."
"I certainly should not have minded
seeing him- cooked," I replied, aa I
thought of poor Te Mann's crippled
hand. Chamber s Journal,

This is a storjr of a man who has
become a successful merchant. A few
years ago he was employed as an
office boy and messenger for a large
firm. He was sent to colleot an ac
count from a firm which was consid
ered very "shaky," and was told to
get the money at all hazards.
The debtors gave the lad a checJi
for 90. He went to the bank at once
to cash it, and was told by the cashier
thst there were not enough funds in
to meet it.
"How mueh short?" asked the lad.
"Thirty shillings," was the answer.
It lacked but a minute or two of
the time for the bank to close. The
boy fslt in his pooket, took out 30
shillings and, pushing through the
window, said:
"Put that to the credit of &
Co."
The cashier did so, whereupon the
boy presented the check nnd got the
money. & Co. failed the next day
and their chagrin enn be better imag
ined than described when they found
out the trick that had been played
upon them. London Tit-Bits.
An Untimely Interference.
A careless young womnn, in start
ing to leave a car, dropped her purso.
A young man, who evidently intended
to leave the car at the same time, saw
her drop her purse, picked it up and
put it into his pocket.
But this action had not been unno
ticed. Just as he stepped from the car
an el.Vrly man gripped him by the
arm nnd whispered:
"If you don't give that purse to the
young lady this instant, I'll expose
you."
Yes, certainly!" gasped the aston
ished young man. Then, with a grin:
'I beg your pardon, Eliznbeth, yon
dropped your purse."
"Oh, thank you, Jim," she replied.
as she took It.
"I hope you are satisfied,'-' said Jim,
turning to the elderly man. "The lady
is my sister." Forward.

People who suffer from habitual constipation with all its attendant il's,
clogged stomach and bowels, sluggish liver, heartburn, indigestion, and thm
and impure blood, are too apt to believo that the only remedy is violent
purgatives. The contrary is the case. Such cathartics, even if they do move
the bowels, are irritating and griping, leave the stomach iuflamed and enfeebled
and the constipated condition recurs with greater difficulty of cure and the
sufferer constantly growing worse. There ' a laxative that moves the
bowels without pain or griping, cleanses the stomach, sharpens the appetite,
stimulates the liver, strengthens the nerves, and purines the blood, while its
marvellous tonic properties tone up the entire system aud keep it healthy.
