HOUSE‘S MUSIC MEDICINAL DENTAL BIXIE DUGAN Instruction Suddenly there was a stir down the street. A little crowd of people was â€" approaching | the â€" Residency. Idly, he wondered what it was. Some tritling dispute or other, he sup posed. ‘Then he saw there was a white man amongst them. Berkely, and Ling See. He wonderd what it could be. For a moment he had a wild hope that Berkely had involved himeelf in some dispute with one of the villagers. In that case there He gol up gloomily and went to the window. It was late afternoon. The sun, which al} day had poured down a torrent of soul destroying heat, enveloping everything in its white haze, was beginning to abate its power. Colors stirred and glowed again in the tree in the campong. Life, which tad been suspended since noon time in the village, was returning to it. The Resident knew exactly how Berkely worked. «Ouce firmly estab lithred in the good graces of all conâ€" cerned. he would show the villagers many â€" marvellous things. . Courtâ€" wright had a very good idea that ihese consisted largely of a box of stage magic. But as every Malay beâ€" lieves firmly in the existence Of deâ€" mons and evil spirits, the effect upon the natives had been tremenâ€" dous. Berkely was firmly established as a great mun; a master of spirits, who was on terms of intimacy with the dread powers that tule a Maâ€" lay‘s life. Against such a person the Resident was powerless: his warnings not to trust the new white man went unâ€" heeded. He had come around to seyâ€" eral of ‘Berkely‘s demonstrations, and fhad been greeted by the bland ussurance that it was merely to amuse the natives, There was no evidence to the contrary. But there were several new charms in vogue now: expensive charms, that guaranâ€" teed their possessor the frienship of the gods and protection from sickâ€" ness and ill fortune:; ‘Courtwright had no doubt as to their origin. wild hope th himeéelf in . of the villag would be a taining him him back to He soon s of the sorl. conveyed by dominating | They «topped outside the Resiâ€" dency. Berkely and Ling See at once went to work. It was to be a public demonstration, staged directly under the nose of the ‘Resident. The naâ€" tives, nervous, kept glancing alyly wl the Residency, and giggled appreâ€" heneively. The new white man might be a miracle worker, but they had painful memories of the Resiâ€" dent‘s powers. "What the Devil is the beggar doâ€" ing?" he wanted to know. "I‘ll tell you," answered Courtâ€" wright. "He‘s putting on a little display for the benefit of the village. And he‘g putting it on here, in order to show that we can‘t do a damn thing to him." The devil of it was that there was nothing _ Courtwright _ could _ do. Berkely knew very well that Courtâ€" wright was itching to arrest him, and send him back to Padhung. And so he took very good care that there should be no excuse for such a hapâ€" pening. When he had finished, the would move on down the river to the next village, and repeat the process, When the was through with Courtâ€" wright‘s district, he would move on to the next~‘Courtwright was proud, and justly so, of the way in which his district was run. Now Berkely was threatening to destroy in a few weeks the work Of years. Graham, came in ff "What t ing?" he | His method was first to gain the confildence of the natives. This he had found easy, due largely to the natural prestige of a white man, and to a subtle appreciation of maâ€" lay character. For the Malay is a peculiar person. iHe is ineffably lazy, yet dignified. ‘Inveriably childish and extremely superstitious, without any conception of the truth as it is conâ€" ceived of by the white, he yet has his code of honor which is strictly adhered to. And, if on occasion, he: is fanatically murderous, yet this does not in ordinary circumstances interfere with his abundant good na-‘ ture and sweelness of temper. Berkeâ€" ly, in his way something of a psyâ€" chologist, was using his knowledge of Malay characler to help him in properly rooking them. "You will, of course, exercise the utnbost vigilance in keeping informed of his movements. Again i must imâ€" press upon you the fact that we have nothing actually against him, merely that he is suspected of sharp deaiâ€" ings with the natives. If you can obtain proof, act at once, and. . . ." | Courtwrght dropped the letter to the table with a curse. He had re celved it three days ago. And with it had come Berkely, the fat jocular, selfâ€"assertive and confident Amer|â€" can, with Ling See, his Chinese se~â€" vant. A trader, he had announced himeelf. Courtwright‘s lips tightenâ€" ed in a sardonic emile at the thought. He was a trader, all right. The trouble was he wes too damn clever at It.

A Short Story of Adventure in the Malay Peninouia. By J. H. MelINTYRE assistant for deâ€" sending Graham picked up the musket, which he had confiscated along with Berkely‘s other possessions, "How could the beggar have had thia fired at him and not get blown apart?" He inquired. "I saw fhim load it, and that damned Chinaman couldn‘t deliberately miss him and get away with it. The crowd was too elose." Courtwright picked up the gun and examined it. Jt was an oldâ€"fashâ€" ioned smooth bore muzzle loading ‘In the office, Courtwright and Graâ€" bam discussed the probable conseâ€" quences of Berkely‘s night in jail. Graham | was jubilant. . A Malay loves a joke; and the idea of jailing a white man for holding up a bulâ€" lock cart would keep the village amused for weeks. Berkely would be hard put to regain the prestige he had fost. Unfortunately, such | further ore mure as Mr Berkely may have felt disposed to address to the Resident were lost, for at this juncture he was again removed, this time for the night. The Resident, alone, turned agein to the window. Berkely was workâ€" ing up to a climax. He harangued the audience impressively. ‘Then, with due reverence, Ling See brought forth an old fashioned musket. This was passed out for inspection to the natives. . When it was returned Berkely with great ceremony proâ€" ‘ceeded to pour powder down the barâ€" rel. A handful of loose shot followed. A percussion cap was affixed, and Berkely took up a heroic posture, whife Ling See levelied the gun at his breast. But just then Grabam arrived with his little column of solâ€" diers. Courtwright grinned triumâ€" phantly as Berkely, firet flabbergastâ€" ed, then enraged. was firmly reâ€" moved. ‘ "By God, Courtwright, you can‘t do this to me. I‘m an. American citiâ€" zen. Damn it, I‘m a white man, This fool law is for the natives. You haven‘t any jurisdiction over me. T‘ll write to my «Consul. .By God, I‘ll have you kicked out of here. This isn‘t a joke, you fool. You can‘t . . ." The culprit was received in the Re sident‘s office. ‘There he was forâ€" mally charged with violation of the Muang Prai ‘Treffic Act. And as it was too late to deal with his case that afternoon, the was ordered placed in custody, and to appear beâ€" fore the Resident‘s court the followâ€" ing morning. Graham jooked bewlldered for a moment, then grinned, and departed joyfully. °_ ‘There _ actually _ were "traffic | regulations". . Courtwright had promulgated them to keep the natives from Jbuilding their houses in the streets. "Then have Ali arrest the cause of that disturbanee and bring him to "Mr. Grakham." Courtwright‘s tone was coldly official. Graham jumped. "Sir?" "You know the rules regarding traffic obetruction here?" Graham nodded. ly took colns, egge and fruit from mouths and from behind ears of astonished natives.

These consietâ€" "ed largely of the usual paraphernalia of the ameteur magician. But among them were a powder horn and shot ‘pouch, accessories to the musket. Courtwright fingered them thoughtâ€" fully. He picked up the musket jag«in. There was a ramrod beneath the barrel. ‘His handkerchief fell from his pocket. He picked it up, made a move to replace it, then changed his mind and dropped it on ‘the desk. Outside it was getting !dnrken "Wonder whut the beggar will do now?" Graham was quite pleased with himsell. If he thas any sense. he‘ll clear out. Looks like a etubâ€" born devil, though." It later developed that e was. Inâ€" stead of leaving the acene of his emâ€" burrassment, ‘Berkely was staying. amd that night he proposed to give another performance, the wonder of which he calculated would restore his lost prestige. Graham and Courtâ€" wright, though not in receipt of an inyitation, decided to attend. Next morning, in the little room used by the Resident as a court room for dealing with native trouâ€" bles, Mr. Joseph Berkely was fined ten shillings for infringing the Muang Prai Traffic Act. He also paid a further fine of twenty shilâ€" lings for using language which was considered derogatory to the dignity of the Court. His property was then restored to him, and tre departed at once. Thus it happened that the 1wo rulers of Muang <Prai stood at the eidge of a erowd of natives and watched | the American at â€" work. There was no denying that he wie impressive. Realizing that he was at un extreme disadvantage. he deliberâ€" ately «et out to counteract it. A mask in the form of a skull, lumi; nous paint, and a judicions use of fireworks made a really aweâ€"inspirâ€" ing spectacie. Graham realized that "Well, perhaps I‘d better see to the comfort of our guest. We can‘t very well starve him, much as I‘d like to." Part of Braham‘s duties consistâ€" ed in Jooking after the prison, and he cheerfully wendered out to visit it the same idea as if you took the powder out of a cartridge, and lightâ€" ed jt. There‘d be a flash and a puff of smoke, and that‘s all. Berkely loaded his gun loosely. If he had Ared it. the shot would hardly have got out the end of the muszle." He looked at the gun again. a "I remember we had one of these at fiome, when I was a kid. Billy and I used to pinch it, and shoot rubbits." He chuckled. "Once we ran out of wadding, and tore up our handkerchiefs. Then one day the Governor caugbt us at it, and we caught a fine hiding." affair, Ared by meass of a percus wion cap. He tilted it, and a mixture of loose powder and shot fell in a heap on the floor. "Bimple enough," he explained, prodding the mess with his foot. "In order to get any results from one of these things, the powder and shot have to ‘be wadded in tightly. It‘s E7 By J. P. MeEVOY and J. H.

Courtwright wrote to fis superiore, "that by some mischance the gun had been previâ€" ously louded in the proper manner. The result was that Berkely received a double discharge. which was of course immediately fatal. As to the possible complicity of the Chinaman, Ling See. . . ." "What for?" Courtwright grunted. Finully, as a fitting climax, Ling See fouk the musket, loaded it as before in sight of all beholders, and pointed it at Berkely‘s breast. The fatter, a fearsome figure in his grueâ€" some trappings, waited calmly. ‘1‘9 increase the suspense, Ling See deâ€" layed firing for a moment. Then there was a terrific flaeh and report.
