Olive and Palmyra swim to anoth ,
er island, from which Palmyra secre
tly sends a note for aid. Burke s
ship approaches the island.
Palmyra and Olive sail in a canoe,
evading both Ponape’s ship and the
Japanese Gunboat Okyama,. which
has her friends on it. Olive risks
his life to get water for Palmyra
Now read on —
Ponape Burke makes desperate
pursuit of Olive and Palmyra, even
opening fire on them. Now read on.
Olive proves a friend. He brings
Palmyra back among- her people on
an island. But there she soon falls (
into the hands of Burke’s accom- j
plices, and Thurston and Van seek
ing her. Now read on —
CHAPTER XII
Thurston thrust Van aside impa- j
tientiy. “The Pueliko, you say • he ,
demanded of the man Martin.
Across the road a horse stood
paddled. Thurston ran to it, jerked
the reins free, jumped into the sad
dle.
The girl’s father returning at this
moment, came running up.
“Rouse the beach,” cried Thurs
ton. “You, Van —the gunboat. Mar
tin —the police. Tree —you to the
mission. I’m for the Pueliko. ’
He whirled his horse.
“Wait, wait, Thurston,” implored
the father. “Here, take my revolver.”
“Rouse the beach and follow,
came the answer, above the ring of
hoofs.
For a moment the three stood, pet
rified, staring- after him. Then they
ran, in different directions, to carry
out his orders.
Scarcely had they gone than two
native men burst from the narrow
footway and crossed to the thatch. A
few seconds later, with the old wo
men, they had rushed Palmyra over
the road and into the lane between
the high blind wall .and the salt-wa
ter marsh, where there were no eyes
to see save those of the crabs that
ran back and forth across the slime.
Van Buren Rutger ran down the
wharf, jumped into Thurston’s boat
and was pulled to the Okayama.
Commander Sakamoto turned to
Van. “But my dear Mister,” he
said, “something is—w Tong. How
can O-lee-vay have taken the young ■
lady when O-lee-vay is locked up [
here safe aboard? But he —sat-isfy ;
me he is only afraid for young lady, j
He means good. So I let him go, ‘
unless you. ... ”
Van was aghast. “Absolutely, no!” I
he cried.
Sakamoto shrugged. ‘‘As you 1
say,” he conceded.
Ms gave an cider and shortly the
brown man appeared on deck.
Olive must have divined on
whose demand he was held.
At sight of him Van‘s animosity
flamed up. The white man sprang
forward. “What have you done with
her?” he demanded. Then.^ turning
to the interpreter. “What has he
done with her?”
Olive seemed at a loss.
He short forth a question, re
ceived his answer, burst into a flood
of entreaty.
“He say,” repeated the interpre
ter, “he say turn him loose. He
savvy too much. Go look see. Find
girl dam’ too much quick.”
The Japanese turned questioning
ly to Van.
“No!” cried the white man pas
sionately, “No!”
The officer shrugged again.
If Palmyra herself had there,
she would* have marvelled that Van ■
could remain blind to the sincerity j
of Olive’s purpose.
As for the islander, he must have j
adjudged the situation hopeless. With j
a final look of dumb pleading, he j
whirled, ducked past his unready j
guards and the clutching fingers of
the others, and sorano* over the star
board rail, foot first into the sea.
As Olive struck the brine Saka
moto leaped for the gangway and
into his cutter, which happened to
be alongside.
Jab him with an oar,” ordered the
commander. But it is not so easy
to jab with a long oar.
Olive made a judicious feint, dived
hack under the vicious thrust of the
port oars, and splashed ashore. The
sapors floundered close in wake.
Inland, the main road from the
beach w-as crowding in against the
river. the fugitive must cross
one or the other in the open. He
wovld be seen. He w-ould be caught.
Put. . ..
Olive did not cross the road. He
did not cross the river. Nor was
he caught. Merely—he disappeared.
He had Jain all the while, in the
river, down among the crowding
water plants, only his nose up for
air.
Normally the water, clear as dew,
would have revealed him. But rain
m the mountains, tropically cooious,
had raised the stream out of its
harks, stained it earthly brown, dot
ted its surface with moving leaf and
branch.
Meanwhile. John Thurston, putting
h's hnrs“ to ri run. had soon neared
the Pueliko Rocks.
A shoulder of basalt blocked the
view ahead. TTe clambered up. had
almost reached the ton. Then,
startlingly, the whistle of a bullet.
Thurston decked behind a. rock.
‘“Meaning me?” h« questioned.
He raised his head
Bang’ A leaf cluster c«me flutter
ing, like a wounded bird, to his
feet.
Across the road, opposite a great
aio tree dominated the bluff behind
it. From among, its manv trunks U
w : «p of white smoke had floated out.
John. 4 n his effort to locate the
enemy, risked standing- up. A third
j bullet flattened itself against the |
rock. „ „ „ |
“Seems they are here, alter all,
jhe conceded. '
Regaining his horse he had gallop
ed back to the road, with this- turn
ing movement in view, - when he en
countered the girl’s father and seven
other men. These were an advanced
I guard. Sailors Irom the gurtboat
were following in to scour the bush.
“The lava caves,” the father cried
excitedly. ‘'High in the mountains,
Thurston, inland of here. Unexplor
ed, inaccessible; a terrible hiding
place. My God, John, we ve got to
i head ’em *off from the caves.”
Thurston told of the shooting.
; Thurston found what he sought—
ontprints.
Native men almost never wore
-hoes; then only shoes of cloth and
; rubber. But here,. in the damp
i mould, someone had ascended toward
j *he aio tree, descended —wearing
leather.
Thurston examined the prints at
length. Then, “if I’m any sort of
Indian at all,” he commented “this
was —Ponape Burke.”
For a distance Thurston was able
to ride. Then lava, clean washed,
a stream, and three paths intersect
ing at the water.
It was well for Palmyra that she
could not know- what difficulties her
lover had now to meet.
The bed of this stream, cut solid J
in one piece from nature’s furnace, j
would have provided a test the North ;
woods skill of any man. And in ad-1
dition, Ponape Burke —if it were he J
—had taken pains to leave* no mark.
Later, he found footprints again
—shot and bare. Ahead large trees
told of dry land.
Thurston advanced stealthily, rifle
reay. The elevation took on an
nusual form. He recognized it,
o his surprise, as an artificial is- J
bind; one of these ruined fortresses :
or tombs built by
querors on such islands as Kusaie
and Ponape.
Could the girl be imprisoned here?
Opposite, there rose a twenty-foot
wall of basaltic columnar blocks.
But it was not at this wall that I
John Thurston looked.
Lying under it, in what had been j
either the canal by which these long \
; s T ones were floated in. or a dock for I
the praus or junks of the conquer- 1
! ors. was the schooner Lupe-a-Noa. |
When Palmyra’s captors hurried 1
j her into the footway they did not
ilon,- continue in the dangerous di- (
I rection ol‘ the Pueliko. Shortly they
turned into a path that branched
out among the mangroves. This
natch would bring them circuitously j
hack to the sea at a point ju*F out- j
side the harbor entrance.
As the two men urged her along i
she knew she must soon confront j
Ponape Burke. Yet it was with a j
gasp that, at a turning, she saw the j
leaf wall move and the man’s face j
come leering out. j
“Well, Palmie,” he tittered, . “I |
come back t’get my kiss.”
Her guards now for the first time ■
releasing her hands, the girl snatched j
forth her pistol and leveled it at j
him.
He was dressed, absurdly, in the !
gala attire of the Rainbow, even to j
the cane. She had not ordered. |
“Hands up” but had he obeyed j
that formula, stood thus grinning at i
her. Now, however, so suddenly she !
could not pull the trigger, he brought
the flexible stick down with a whip
like cut across the back of her hand.
The fingers, paralyzed, dropped the
, wef.nor?."
I An ugly light flashed into his
1 eyes. “I ain’t a-taking no chances
j this time,” he explained.
As they moved forward -again
I Ponape Burke became informative,
j Had been lying here waiting an op
portunity. This village was a good
sort: not like the rest of the island
—so dam: piou- a kanaka wasn’t sun
posed even to smoke. And from the
point, a man could watch the Oka
yama at anchor or get away, quickly
and unseen, to the hidden Lupe-a-
Noa.
The one obstacle had been Olive.
But they had discovered Van’s an
tipathy; pianned to get islander
out of the wav through him. Gra
tuitously, Van had acted of his own
accord.
For this work the man Martin had
been useful, being new to the beach,
unknown.
At the sea front the native men
lifted Palmyra and Ponape Burke
and waded with them through the
thigh-deep water to the islet.
At the end of the islet furthest
from shore, Ponape Burke ordered
his prisoner into the last thatch. She
hesitated .gave the natives one des
| "airing* glance. She hated them for
I their curiositv, their compliance.
She stooped, entered the house, sat
j "Don a mat on the pebble floo**, h--*r
j back against one of the posts in the
: ! mrele that upheld the eaves. Butko
; hurried away. The brown men were
! j crowding into the opposite side of
, s he hut. They dropped to stare, c r o?s
• j -'gpred. knee to knee, silent or whis
! j tering those behind crsrnir- to look.
| Martin came to take up the watch.

HEALTH HABITS IN
ONE CHATHAM SCHOOL
(The Health Bulletin, Feb.)
In one of the wide-awake grade
schools in northeastern Chatham,
situated in a typical farming sec
tion. the teachers comprising? the
fourth and seventh grades, inclusive,
recently made a health survey of
the ninety-five pupils nresent at the
time’ in these four grades.
Sqipe of the questions asked pro
duced some infinite and illuminat-
ine information. Nearly all of them
reported that they slept at least
eleven hours every night. Most of
them confessed to the ownership of
a toothbrush and its daily use. So
far so good. However, of the ninety
five, fifty-eight of them said that
they habitually drank coffee or tea
one or more times every day. Thirty
seven of them did not admit any
such habit. Forty-two of the ninety
five stated that they drank at least
one pint or more of milk each day.
Fifty-three of the ninety-five stated
that they drank no milk at all. The
teacher did not secure accurate
weights of these children, and hence
it is impossible to state whether or
not any of the non-milk-consuming
children registered underweight.
One significant question and ans
wer illustrate the ease with which
definite health habits may be acquir
ed by the children in every family
once such habits become customary
and the natural thing to do. The
question we refer to is, “Did you
wash your face and hands before
breakfast this morning?” Every one
of the ninety-five answered yes. This
is easy to believe because all of us
at least all who have lived in the
country and who were reared on the
farm, know that the custom of get
tine up and washing one’s face and
hands before breakfast is just as
common as the risin P * of the sun or
the setting of the moon. It is the
expected thing, and many a little
chap has had to break ice or slush
to the well for fresh water with
which to perform this much dreaded
function. Some time it will be just
as common and just as easy for all
the children to drink plenty of milk
and leave off coffee or tea when
such things are done by all other
children and become a part of the
habits and customs of the people
generally.
We pass these suggestions along
to other grade teachers in the dif
ferent sections of the State, especial
ly in the rural schools, because the
very fact of asking such questions
impresses on the children’s mind the
truth that there is a reason for ask
ing such questions, and therefore
many children will naturally inquire
into reasons for wanting and desir
ing good health.
Why For Peterson
(The following editorial is clipped
from the Elizabeth City Independent
—take it for what it is worth.)
“The fact that both are referred
to by their friends as “O. J.” and
that both have used these initials
as a pen name seemed to have caus
ed some confusion ot O. J. Coffin
of the school of journalism at Chap
el Hiil and of the Shucks and Nub
bins column of the Greensboro Daily
News with O. J. Peterson of Pitts
boro, candidate for Commission of
Labor and Printing. To correct such
misapprehension. Coffin offers com
ment so interesting that we cannot
resist quoting it in full. In his
column in the Greensboro Daily he
says:
It is not without some misgiving
that we approach a rather personal
matter which simple justice seems
to demand that we put before you.
Justice to a couple of O. .J.s, as
a matter of fact. It is O. J.
Peterson ol the Chatham Record and
not O. J. of Shucks and Nubbins
who is running for the office of
Commissioner of Labor and Printing
of North Carolina. Probably
would confuse the two, for an ae
ons int a. nee of theta would tell you
that the one would* no more offer
for an office than t’other would be
guilty writing frivolities —and both
would claim that their forbearance
was due in the main to sincere re
gard for their possible constituencies.
This is said without solicitation
from the Chatham O. J.; it is also
submitted as copy without consult
ing the advertising department of
the most • liberal newspaper with
which we have any remunerative con
nection. It has occurred to us that
somebody in the audience might be
amused, diverted or even edified in
an expression of serious conviction
by this column.
We shall not call the second mort
gage of any man who disagrees with
us in the coming primaries, and if we
had any political influence we’d use
it on a wife who threatens to vote
against A1 Smith; but if the folks
who pay us for occupying this space
will permit—it’s none of anybody’s
business —we intend to testify for
O. J. Peterson.
This 0. J. originally out of
Sampson County, is all wool, more
than a yard wide, not an ounce of
shoddy in warp or woof of him and
not cut on the bias. If he has a
fualt, it is that he is so straight
he is sway-backed, and he’s
worked too hard and had too little
fun and has so constantly faced the
dazzling* light of the verities that
his eyeg. nae been blinded to the
main chance. As editor of a weekly
newspaper and as a teacher of pub
lic schools in communities whose tax
able values did not keen pace with
his patient persistence, he has done
more hard work than would be re
quired to operate the office of Com
missioner of Labor and Printing for
a millenium, even though there were
a continuous row with the State
printers, and the strawberry shippers
marketed 16 separte and distant
crops a year.
Peterson admits he has worked
hard and has remained poor. Nor
does he ask to be pensioned. He
THE CHATHAM RECORD
desires —God save the mark! —“to
associate for a period with people of
prominence” in the State with whom
association has hitherto been denied
.iim because of his lack of time and
money. We make no attempt to
justify his suspicion that prominent
people are good company —honestly
we prefer living with those who hav
en’t got a thing on us—but w T e can
think of nothing more fortunate for
those in charge of public affairs at
Raleigh than that they should be per
mitted to come into intimate contact
with a man who would give his body
to be burned before he would com
promise a principle or take a profit
from another man’s sacrifice of self
respect.
This is no spring- poem dedicated
to a friend’s campaign for office.
We have no claim on O. J. Peterson
that any other private of public cit
izen of North Carolina does not have
and would be afraid to attempt to
exercise it if we did have. Neither
of us has ever had any money to
lend the other; he doesn’t tell smutty
stories and we’ll smoke cubebs the
rest of our days before we try an
other of his campaign cigars.
Frank Grist, the present Commis
sioner of Labor and Printing, is no
more content with his own official
record than we are, who tried to
keep Mitchell Lee Simpson in and
Frank out and have seen no reason
to classify Mitch as other than a
conscientious and capable public of
ficial. David P. Dellinger, the fourth
candidate, has as much right to run
for office as any of them, and Hen
derson Steele of the Harnett county
News, who declined to run ,is a bet
ter printer than all of them put to
gether. There isn’t a chance, as
we see it, to go very far wrong in
filling this office.
It Is for this reason that we feel
so free, to state that there never has
been offered to the folks of North
Carolina an opportunity to vote for
a man more deserving- of honor and
trust than Peterson of Pittsboro.
Honest, folks, we’d rather lose
with Pete than win with anybody
we’ve ever been permitted to vote
for.
There, then, better than we
could say it, are the reasons why
The Advance will cast its vote for
Peterson in the next Democratic
primary.

YOUR FLOWER GARDEN
By ROMAINE B. WARE
Nov; is the time to .plan for the
winter bouquets of Straw Flowers.
They are so easy to grow and you
will enjoy them all winter in the
house. They may be planted sim
ply by sowing the seed right where
you want them to bloom, and in a
few weeks you will not only haVe a
good display of color in the garden,
but you will be picking the bloom
and putting it away for the winter.
There are several varieties of

Straw Flowers, probably t. •> best
known is Relichrysum. TL —e are
several others listed in some of the
English catalogues. In cutting the
blooms for winter cut in the morn
ing- while they are still covered with
dew, and hang- them heads down in
a cool, shady place till thoroughly
dry.
Also to be grown for winter deco
ration are the Ornamental Grasses.
They are also very decorative in the
garden. These, like the Straw Flow
ers, should be cut in the early morn
ing while still wet with dew, but they
should not be hung head down, but
supported in their natural position.
Then, when they are dried, they will
make up into bouquets and look na
tural.
The perennial Gypsophilia is good ,
when dried, as is also Statice latifolia I
(Sea Lavender). These two plants
are slow in establishing themselves,
but are very permanent. .
There is a large market for these
winter bouquets, as many people do
not go to the trouble of growing
them, and they will be glad to pur
chase if they had the opportunity.
I know of many that have built up
a nice little side line with them.
Flowers as a means of making mon
ey have made a prominent
place for themselves, as there is not
only money in them but health as
well. Many folk who cannot work
inside can putter around a garden !
and turn their time into cash’ The [
roadside flower stands have made a ■
real place for themselves in the I
country. Thousands of dollars worth !
of flowers are sold by them every !
week-end.
WILSON-BEACHAM
Aurora, May I.—Tuesday, April 4,
at 10:30 o’clock, Miss Maybelle Bea
cham and Mr. Leon Wilson were mar
ried at the Methodist church.
The church was beautiful in its
bridal decorations. The altar was
banked with flowers. Huge baskets
of white spirea and white cathedral
candles completed the decorations.
The ceremony of the Methodist
church was most effectively used
by Mr. John R. Edwards, the offi
ciating minister.
Before the ceremony a short mu
sical program was enjoyed by the
large audience. The bridal partv
entered to the strains of the wed
ding march from Lohengrin. The
ushers were Messr s W. Hooker, Jr.,
and Wilbur Ross. The maid of hon
or was Miss Cathleen Pike, of Tar
boro, and the ring bearer was little
Mary Bet Edwards, cousin of the
bride. She carried the ring in a
large calla lily.
The bride was given in marriage
by her father. She wore a becom
ing ensemble of dark blue georgette
with blond accessories. Her bouquet
wpc* of white roses and lilies of the
valley.
The groom was accompanied by
his best man Mr. Paul Cally of Hope
well, Va.
Mrs. Wilson is the attractive dau
ghter of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Beach
man, of Aurora. She deservedly has
many friends in this part of the
State. She is a graduate of Green
ville college and has for the past few
years been a popular teacher in East
ern North Carolina.
The groom is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. N. J. W’ilson and is a success
ful young tobacconist in Durham.

How MucliWatep
Should Baby Get?
Famous Authority’s 12ule
‘Ay 'Ruth 'Brittain
mwjt & 'f'jjmß
r\S£^lsM
Baby specialists agree nowadays, that
during the first six month®, babies must
have three ounces of fluid per pound of
body weight daily. An eight pound baby,
for instance, needs twenty-four ounces
of fluid. Later on the rule is two ounees
of fluid per pound of body weight. The
amount of fluid absorbed by a breast fed
baby is best determined by weighing him
before and after feeding for the whole
day; and it is easily calculated for the
bottle fed one. Then make up any de
ficiency with water.
Giving baby sufficient water often re
lieves his feverish, crying, upset and rest
less spells. If it doesn’t, give him a few
drops of Fletcher’s Castoria. For these
and other ills of babies and children such
as colic, cholera, diarrhea, gas on stom
ach and bowels, constipation, sour stom
ach, loss of sleep, underweight, etc.,
leading physicians say there’s nothing
so effective. It is purely vegetable—the
recipe is on the wrapper—and millions
of mothers have depended on it in over
thirty years of ever increasing use. It
regulates baby’s bowels, makes him sleep
and eat right, enables him to get full
nourishment from his food, so he in
creases in weight as he should. With each
package you get a book on Motherhood
worth its weight in gold.
Just a word of caution. Look for the
signature of Chas. H. Fletcher on the
package so you’ll be sure to get the gen
uine. The forty cent bottles contain
thirty-five doses.
