m, |u Matfea girl, convinced bj
Mr lawyer, JoM Call, thai iM ku a
claim to the island aetata of Bar trand
tatfear, Garrett Watarsaa, arrives la Hon
Mala to attempt to gala control at the
ptapailj. One evening while she aad
Colt are dtnlag and diicasslas plans toe
pressing bar claims, Blehard Wsyae, ar
Toaga Dick, as he If known, eaters their
dtalDf place. He Is a member at the
Wayne family that has been la control
at her grandfathfrs Island, Alakoa, since
the old man's disappearance. Inasmuch
as Karen believes that Tonga Dick does
not know her Identity she suggests to
Celt that she talk to him and learn what
she can. Colt at drst opposes the Idea
bet begins to change his mind.
Now continue with the story.
"I suppose there isn't any really
practical objection," he said; "but
isn't this notion just slightly on the
silly side? You can hardly expect?"
He started to say something more,
but let it pass; then bowed with
exasperating courtesy, and walked
away.
When he was gone she sat quietly
a little while, trying to relax. Pres
ently she turned her chair a little so
that she could look into the shadows
where Tonga Dick sat, three tables
away, alone in the obscurity of palm
shadows. She still could not clearly
see his face, but she focussed upon
the coal of his cigarette, and waited.
She let her eyes rest there almost
to the limit of endurance; then
smiled faintly, and returned her at
tention to the dance floor.
Tonga Dick stood up, wound his
way to her table. He laid a hand
on the back of the chair where John
Colt had sat.
"May I?"
"Perhaps, if you wish."
Richard Wayne sat down, crossed
his knees comfortably, and took his
time about lighting a cigarette. Kar
en waited, determined to make him
lead the way; but she watched him
curiously, with a sharp interest that
was partly caused by his name
alone. In the world she knew, you
could no more be called Tonga Dick,
in seriousness, than you could be
called Red-Handed Harry, or Terri
ble Pete. Had she had no other
relationship to this man than that of
a casual tourist, she still would have
?tared, just because of the name he
was called.
Tonga jjick surveyea ner srowiy,
with grave eyes. "You wanted to
?ee me?"
Richard Wayne watched with ad
miration the perfect serenity of Kar
en's poise as she turned a little, and
coolly met his eye.
She was much more interesting to
look at from across a table, he de
cided, than from across a number
of them. Yet he had noticed her in
the first moment in which he had
stepped upon the lanai. That, of
course, was the reason he knew who
she was. He had landed but a few
hours before, and had no more than
shaken hands with his brothers;
there were no means by which he
could have identified Karen Water
son, if he had not noticed her and
been interested of his own accord.
From the shadows of his obscure
table at the edge of the lanai he had
watched her for some time for no
other reason than that it gave him
pleasure to look at her.
After a little while he had signaled
a table captain and asked who the
*irl was?and had obtained a cor
rect answer.
Knowing who she was, it was odd
to be sitting at the same table with
her now. This was the girl who had
come here from the mainland to lay
claim to the island of Alakoa, the
little stronghold in the sea which no
one but a Wayne had held for more
than two decades.
It seemed to him that Karen Wa
terson did not look the part. He
couldn't understand how anyone
with a face like that, and eyes like
that, could get herself hooked up
with a shenanigan that differed from
a common swindle only in the bold
ness of its scope.
"If I hadn't wanted you here," she
said, "you'd hardly be here, would
you?"
"And so?"
?? ? * ?Ati tn
"So noxning. 1 wamcu j
come and sit here because I think
you look romantic. And I think you
might introduce yourself, now."
. "My name is Richard Wayne," he
said. "I belong here in the Islands.
More specifically, I am connected
with a small privately owned island
called Alakoa."
He watched for her reaction, and
was fooled again; for no reaction
came.
"That certainly is very interest- .
tag." Karen Waterson said. "I I
wish I were an Islander."
"Perhaps," he suggested, "you
would like to tell me who you are."
"My name," Karen improvised,
"Is Katie Higgins-something ? a
white girl from about four miles
south of Dubuque. I teach school
some place, and I think I would like
to get in the movies."
"I should have said," Dick com
mented, "that you were from San
Francisco." She glanced at him i
sharply, but he added, "Hawaii is
a kind of a crossroads; people from
every part of the' world come ]
through here, sooner or later, so
that if you live in the Islands you get
to recognize inflections of speech."
"Oh."
"They raise very good looking
girls in San Francisco," Dick said.
"It must be a wonderful thing to |
own jour own island," Karen said.
Are many islands privately
owned?"
"Only a few, in this part of the
Pacific. Niihau is privately owned,
and so is Lanai, which is the sixth
largest in the group; and the Waynes
have had Alakoa for about twenty
years."
"How many Waynes are there?"
Richard Wayne said to himself,
"You know cockeyed well, young
lady, how many Waynes there are."
But aloud he said, "Four. My un
cle, who is really the owner, my
two brothers, and myself."
"It's like owning a little empire of
your own, isn't it? I can't think of
anything nicer than that."
"A good many people seem to feel
that way," Dick said. "That's what
makes an island so hard to hold
on to."
"You have trouble holding onto
it?"
"Oh, yes,.indeed. Just now, for
example, there is an insufferable lit
tle snip of a girl trying to get her
claws into Alakoa by due legal proc
ess."
"Interesting," Karen encouraged
him. "And just how does she expect
to do that?"
"The Waynes bought Alakoa from
her grandfather. Now the girl
wishes to prove that the sale was
illegal, because, she says, her grand
father was a congenital idiot. She
says it runs in the family, and she
can prove it."
Karen studied him for a moment
with veiled suspicion, but Tonga
Dick's face was innocent. "What a
remarkable person," Karen said.
"What's she like?"
"Well?as I told you, I have had
no chance to get acquainted with
her."
"Maybe you'll have a chance lat
er."
"I'd rather like to, you know,"
Dick admitted. '-"I'd like to find out
what makes her tick. But I would
hardly know how to go about it."
"Just a simple Island boy," Karen
smiled.
"Well, the circumstances are a lit
tle awkward. I can't just go up to
her and say, 'I understand you are
the-little twerp who is trying to get
my island away from me, and what
are you doing this evening after the
store closes?' Or can I?"
"Well, invite her for a sail on your
boat. Show her selected views of
the coast line. Show her this island
she's after?what did you say the
name of it was? Alakoa? Probably
she hasn't even seen it. I'll bet she'd
be interested."
"And just what," said Dick,
"would be my idea?"
"Get to know her. You said you
wanted to find out what the little
fright was like. Maybe you'd like
her."
"And then what?"
"And then what?" Karen repeat
ed. "Say, wait a minute. Do I
have to map out your entire life?"
They grinned at each other; and
either one_ of them would have given
a good deal to know what the other
was thinking then.
"It's a rotten plan," Dick criti
cized.
"Now you've hurt my feelings,"
Karen said. "Here I practically
work up a headache planning a
beautiful day for you, and what
credit do I get? You tell me it's
rotten. All that effort wasted!"
Richard Wayne appeared to
brighten. "No, it isn't. It gives me
a much better idea. What's the use
of wasting the whole program on a
chiseling little frump? No! I'll take
you sailing, instead."
"Me? Oh, I'm afraid I couldn't?"
"Tomorrow morning," Richard
Wayne prompted her, "at something
like nine?"
"Something more like ten," she
answered.
CHAPTER H
It was nearly midnight when Rich
ard Wayne called upon his brothers.
They had been expecting him ear
lier in the evening, and only an ob- 1
jectionable message he had sent
them by phone had kept them wait- 1
ing for him at an hour strictly out
side of their habits. i
Richard's, two brothers, Ernest I
Wayne and Willard Wayne, sat in <
a large room which, in spite of its i
prim order, showed the wear of the ,
humid years. The whole thing man- ;
aged a transplanted New England
look; obviously nothing had been
changed here for a long time.
The two brothers who here await
ed Richard Wayne seemed to have
been bred and raised by the New
England furniture. Both were older
than Richard, and when he looked
at them he was sometimes happy to
remember that they were only his
half-brothers, after all.
"It does seem to me, Dick," Er
nest Wayne said fretfully, "that you
would show a little interest in what
is happening here." Ernest, tall and
thin, did not look entirely well; he
wore gold-rimmed glasses, which
did not seem to be strong enough
for his purpose, and when kept up
late he developed a peaked look.
Dick sighed and sat down. "If I
weren't interested I wouldn't be in
Honolulu at all," he said. "Now,
please try not to get all excited,
will you?"
"You don't realize the seriousness
of the situation, Dick," Willard said
heavily, without heat. "This thing
is critical in the.extreme?perhaps
even desperate. Uncle Jim can't
seem to understand that he is not
invulnerable. He has delayed, and
delayed?"
"As I understand it from your let
ters," he said now, "the complaint
is that when our mutual father
bought the island of Alakoa from
Garrett Waterson he practically
cheated the old boy out of his eye
teeth?is that the story?"
"Father was an industrious and
intelligent man," Ernest Wayne said
with annoyance.
"Do you know anything much
about the original swindle?"
"I object to your tone," Willard
Wayne said; and Dick was aston
ished by the vigor of his brother's
resentment. "Garrett Waterson wap
a disreputable old pirate. He wag
a waster and a speculator of the
worst sort?absolutely typical of a
certain kind of riffraff which trou
bled the Islands in the early days.
If father saw values in Alakoa that
Waterson did not, that certainly was
Waterson's look-out. But now comes
this girl, this grasping, piratical lit
tle adventuress, intent on seizing not
only the whole of Alakoa, but all the
development which has cost Uncle
Jim the best years of his life, and?"
"Have you checked the identity of
this girlT" Dick interrupted.
"She's Garrett Waterson's grand
daughter, all right," Willard said.
"Well brought up?"
"The family has no distinction
whatever. The girl has been work
ing as a stenographer. Her relation
ship to the island of Alakoa proba
bly would never have occurred to
her as offering any possibilities, if
it had not been for this John Colt."
"And who is this John Colt?"
"John Colt is thirty-sue years old
and was born in New York. He is
one of the predatory speculators
who came to light in the boom days
of the late twenties. He acquired a
considerable fortune through water
developments in California. In 1932
his stock-juggling activities were in
vestigated, but without success."
"You seem to have snootled
around to very good effect," Tonga
Dick complimented them.
"And now," Willard concluded,
"Karen Waterson, through her at
torneys, and undoubtedly acting on
the advice and direction of John Colt
is bringing suit, on the complaint
that her grandfather's sale of Ala
koa was illegal?that Garrett Water
son, at the time of the sale, was
mentally incompetent. That shows
you the girl's unscrupulous type?
she is willing to discredit her own
grandfather?prove him to have
been virtually insane?to gain ad
vantage for herself."
"Same old story," Tonga Dick
murmured. "But not so easy, in
the case of Garrett Waterloo, I
should think."
Willard Wayne exploded. "I ten
you it is easy) Unless we And a
way out, it is most certainly going
to be done! This is what comes of
dealing with irresponsibles of Gar
rett Waterson's type. Evidence can
be brought in to show that Garrett
Waterson was not only totally irre
sponsible, but eccentric in the ex
treme. I myself am convinced he
was more or less deranged. Let
me remind you that we've had hun
dreds of such cases in the Islands
mostly successful!"

He laid a hand on the back of the chair where John Colt had tat.

THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS
LESSON TEXT?Matthew 4:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT?ror we have an hisb
priest . . . (who) was In all points tempted
like as we are, yet without sin.?Hebrews
4:11.
"We have not a high priest that
cannot be touched with the feeling
? of our infirmities; but one that hath
been in all points tempted like as
we are, yet without sin" (Heb. 4:15,
R.V.). We recognize that Jesus was
tempted as the Messiah (see Matt.
4:3, 6) and as One who had no sin,
and yet He was tempted in all points
as we are; and we may learn from
His temptation how to meet tempta
tion and be victorious over it.
I. Temptation.
It is the common lot of all man
kind to be tempted (ICor. 10:13).
The strongest and most noble of
men are subject to it; angels were
tempted ? yes, even Jesus was
tempted. We need to know about
temptation, so we note
1. What It Is (v. 1). Temptation
is of the devil It is, as Principal
Fairbairn expressed it, "seduction
to evil solicitation to wrong. It
stands distinguished from trial thus:
trial tests, seeks to discover the
man's moral qualities or character;
but temptation persuades to evil de
ludes that it may ruin. God tries.
Satan tempts."
V^4_ iL.t a <.>; a
41UIC UMl (CUl^MUUQ m DU( Sill,
but yielding to the temptation is ?b>
We are told by James (Jas. 1:13
15) that man is tempted by his own
lusts. He also tells us that God may
permit temptations or trials to test
our faith (Jas. 1:2, 3), but His pur
pose is only to prove us able to
stand. God does not suffer us to be
tempted beyond endurance, but pro
vides a way of escape (I Cor. 10:13).
2. How It Works (w. 2, 3, 5, 6. 8,
9). Satan has only three tempta
tions, although he is a master at
giving them different appearances.
The temptation of Jesus followed
the same threefold line as that of
Adam and Eve (Gen. 3:6), which is
described in I John 2:18 as the gen
eral temptation of all men, namely,
"the lust of the flesh, the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life." Observe
how Satan worked on Jesus: (a) By
appealing to the flesh (w. 2. 3).
Jesus had fasted 40 days, and Satan
took advantage of that fast to sug
gest that He use His divine power
of creation to satisfy His hunger.
To do so would have been to deny
His very mission on earth.
Satan observes in man the normal
appetites of his body, excites them
to a high degree, and then tempts
him to satisfy them in an improper
way. (b) By appealing to pride (w.
5, 6). God had promised to keep
Jesus "in all his ways" (Ps. 91:
11), but casting Himself from the
temple was not one of God's "ways"
for Him.
The devil wants us to be presump
tuous and call it faith, and this is
his pitfall for one who really wants
to believe?cause him to become a
fanatic and substitute foolish pre
sumption for faith, (c) By appeal
ing to the eyes (w. 8, 9). By show
ing Christ the kingdoms of the earth
in some kind of striking panorama,
or moving picture, he offered a short
cut to their rule by a brief act at
worship of him, rather than by way
of the cross. The devil showed his
real purpose here. He wants wor
ship?be wants us to bow to him in
stead of to God.
n. Oar Lard Was Tictartaas Over
Sataa.
We, too, can triumph in Hi* biass
ed name. To do ?o we need to study
the way of victory.
X. How to Gain It (w. 4. T, 10).
Three steps appear: (a) By the
right use of Scripture. If our Lord
needed and used that weapon, how
can we possibly do without it? How
can we use it if we do not study it,
and hide it in our hearts (Pa. 119: !
11)? (b) By complete dependence
upon God. Every Scripttue used
by Jesus against Satan honored God
the Father. We cannot light Satan in
our own strength. Luther was right?
"Did we in our own strength confide.
Our striving would be losing."
The real victory for the Christian
is to bring Satan to the foot of the
cross. Christ defeated him complete
ly there, and we may plead that
victory, (c) By denouncing Satan.
Jesus sent him an his way. We
may do the same, in Jsaus* name.
It ie always a serious error to argue
with Satan, or even to diacuaa mat
ters with Jum. He is not divine,
but be is a supernatural being with
knowledge and cunning which are
too much for us. Meet him with
Scripture, honor God by your faith
in Christ, than "raaiat the devil, and
ha will Dee from you" (Jaa. 4:7).
X. What It Brings (v. U). When
the defeated devil left Christ, an
gels came and ministered to Him.
The overcoming of temptation brings
victory, peace, and blsaatd rest.
This is ever true in the life of the
believer Temptations victoriously
mat make one stronger in meeting
the next temptation. There is al
ways a next ana, tor we rend (Luke
4:13) that the devil left Christ only
"tor n season."
