without a memory of the manner of her going and a golden bangle resting in the folds of bis white tunic he gathered a little later that her arrival and departure constituted as much a mystery to all as to himself in the solitude of his room he had turned that bangle over and over be tween his suntanned fingers trying to discover some reasonable motive for such a gift accordingly with due regard to the value of the bracelet and to the fact that white magistrates in black coun tries are scarcely in the habit of ac cepting gifts from fascinating danc ing girls moorhouse had established it j themselves into oblivion this cheery j pretty clearly in the local mind that philosopher had succeeded in steering j the girl was to be found and brought a middle course moorhouse with to him that he might have an oppor- his black dog at his heels was as welcome in a borneo longhouse as in the bungalow of the commissioner of police under normal conditions it might not unreasonably be assumed that moorhouse reclining in glorious idle ness after a strenuous day spent in the sweltering courthouse was dreaming of home or of the white girl whose photograph occupied a sole and prominent position on his dressing- table but the girl in the cbonied frame was his sister and the district officer had no lion e other thnv the one j he now occupied as a matter of fact j he was thinking of the dusky dyakj belle who had danced before the assembled chiefs in the kampon at the other side of the valley when the rice- harvest was completed a shapely j alluring female with an independent i swing of shoulders and features that would have done credit to a western beauty moorhouse had been present at this dance showing his white teeth when the young warriors drunk with samsu urged their waterbuffaloes across the open wastes and mildly ap plauding the crazy posturing of the women who danced with human heads then the wonderwoman from the forests had twirled into the firelight j tunity of returning to her the missing property this was a month ago and still no trace had been found of the girl with just as he had made up his the silver hands but although hu- mind to pay his respects to his hosts i man memory is inclined to bo short- and depart the wonderwoman from lived and many events were crammed he forests had whirled into the fire- into four short weeks of moorhouses light he remembered her afterward as a vision encased in a sarong of shimmering green with a single brace let of gold at either wrist her dark hair secured by a dagger of which both the point and the jeweled hilt were distinctly visible more miraculous still her hands were hidden by won derfully fashioned gauntlets of silver each wrought to resemble the form of the hand itself her dance had cul minated in a sort of joyous stampede she had fallen prostrate before the semicircle of gaping headmen then crawled with the lithe sinuous move- outdoors or indoor j whatever your- task let wriglevs refresh you

district officer frowned and the girl laughed a delightfully disarm ing laugh that almost made moorhouse forget the dignity that his office de manded you have come for your bracelet she shook her head and the lines of her handsome face hardened i come not for the bracelet she told him because i am a child of the forests taking when i wish to take and giving when i desire to give neither giving back nor taking back i give to my friends and take from my enemies the magistrates forehead wrinkled then why have you come to me he inquired bluntly the tuanhakim is wise she murmured gazing down atthe straw sandals that rotected he soles of her feet admitted returned moorhouse cheerfully what then when i heard the music of the gongs and saw the smoke of the fires rising above the talles trees a voice whispered to me to go closer and i went presently beyond the smoke i saw the faces of the chiefs and then i saw the white coat of the tuan hakim the beating of those brass drums called me and i danced for you because i said this man is he who sits alone in the big house among the coco- palms who reads the evil that is mens hearts and knows the right from tho wrong the good from the bad you beat your hands together tuan and i was content a dreamy note had come into her voice and it sounded ir the dos cars like the soothing sound of a woodpigeon from her nest there are times oh white man

which has been tuned up in england to take the place of the piano in which lieutenant webster was killed when he made the last attempt to break the italian mark of 306 miles an hour the new plane called the s5 is expected to do better than 320 miles an hour in appearance the s5 is very much like its predecessor although the fuse lage is narrower and the air resist ance has been cut down correspond ingly the tiny fuselage and wings are in contrast to the relatively big floats but their size is necessary be cause the plane lands at the high speed of ninety miles an hour the fuel is carried in the starboard float partially to balance the engine torque and make the machine easier to fly it is pumped up by an engine- driven pump the wing surface radi ators are said to be much better than anything previously used they cool without adding any resistance as they have a flat instead of corrugated outer surface the fuselage is all metal the skin taking the stresses the oil is cooled by passing it along both sides of the fuselage in contact with the skin through specially constructed oil coolers the floats are of duralumin the wings are of wood and are covered with special laminated wood under the radiators the fuselage is smaller in crosssectional area than any fuselage previously designed the span of the wing is only twenty- six feet nine inches with an area of 115 square feet a wing so small that tho wing loading is 2783 pounds per square foot the weight of the plane with its geared engine is 3200 pounds the engine is the napier racing en gine which is believed
