South Sea Islanders Reaching Out Foi Up to Data Things. The natives of Samoa are exhibiting a marked inclination to imitate European manners. The beautiful slapos, hallowed by age long usage, are disappearing more and more, their place be ing taken by imported cotton cloth. Women and girls like to put on greatei quantities of European wearing apparel. In the vicinity of Apia native Samoan house and kitchen utensjls have been replaced by European articles of less wrorth. JNew foods are being Introduced. Instead of taro, bananas and yams, the natives now. eat rice, biscuits and bread and even drink coffe in the morning. The new foods, how. ever, have but a limited number ol consumers at present. The native huts were formerly cov ered with thatches of sugar cane. In sects have destroyed the sugar cane plantations, and the natives now covei their dwellings with corrugated iron which gives them much less protection both against the sun during the day and against the cold at night. The Samoan house is disappearing, too, and its place Is being taken by equar buildings of American pine. The total native population of th Samoan group is about 42,000.

The two girls had removed the padlock just in time, and dragged him through, closing the door before the lions could enter. But now the men who were to take the girls to Molly's place came in, and Stevens, against fearful odds, put up the best fight he could. The noise brought the police, and Stevens and the girls were rescued just in time. The police cleared out the store above, as well, and saved Bruce. But no one saved Fisher. Coming to see the success of his plan, he fell through the trap and there was no one to open the door for him. The lions made him their prey, instead of Stevens.

A little later Stone heard from Dunn of the capture of the two girls. Dunn had told him before that two women had had a great deal to do with his failures, and Stone was anxious to see who they were. His rage equaled his astonishment when he saw porothy. He realized then that he had no chance to win her, and his love for her turned to hate. He was able to see them without being seen by them, and when he went upstairs from the cellar a scheme of typical ferocity had taken form in his mind.

Stone set the wheels of his organ! zation turning at once. He sent for Dunn, the man who served him in his most critical affairs, and over whom he held, as a constant threat, his knowledge of a certain criminal epl sode in the past that, once revealed to the proper authorities, might have sent Dunn to the electric chair. "As a matter of fact," said Stone, "I'm not sorry this has happened. Fisher's a fool, but his folly has turned out well this time. Larnigan will go to Gruen's you can see to it that when he does so he walks into a trap:" Meanwhile, however, there had been a change in Tom's plans. He had gone immediately to the oflice of The Independent, the newspaier which was backing Bruce Lanlgan's fight, with Jack Stevens as Its editor. There he had found Bruce, and also a telegram from Washington, ordering him to go at once to Bio de Janeiro, where, it was said, the consul would be able to give him instructions concerning a special mission, connected with the operations of the Graft Syndicate. "You'll have to go," Bruce said. "But I'm nearly well now I'm well enough, at any rate, to take hold of this affair. So there need be no change in our plans." And another factor was about to be introduced Into the case.

American war between the During the states Nassau of the Bahamas was very much on the tongues of men, as the emporium of contraband cotton, whereby hangs many a dashing sea story, some of which you can still hear from the lips of the men who took part In them. The whole history of the Bahamas, since Columbus made his first landfall In the western seas on Watllng's island, has been a fantastic record of desperate opportunism. The prose of "legitimate" business has .seldom dulled the edge of precarious prosperity on these derelict islands, whose very existence still seems at the grudging mercy of the sea. Buccaneering, wrecking and blockade running no more tedious employ than these masculine professions occupied the Bahamians for generations, and so long as there were merchantmen to be boarded or scuttled, rich cargoes to be harvested from the white fanged reefs or cotton to be run to Wilmington at a profit of $100,000 the trip life in Nassau was a purple princely thing, and even the shoeblacks In Bay street played pitch and toss with gold.

"Those who labor hard for theii money and who have a still more arduous struggle in saving small sums," says a banker in the American Maga zine, "naturally fall easy victims in many instances to the desire for sud den riches. But the fatal error lies in supposing that the person of small means can afford to take the chance. If he or she loses they lose all. The large capitalist and the professional money lender have the law of averages working with them. They can afford to sink money into twenty ventures il they make a thousand per cent on one. They are protected by the law ol chance, the average safety of their investments depending upon no single risk. "Risk is a necessary part oB business, but should be borne by the strong, never by the weak.

He always forgets to say that a safe 5 pel cent bond or a 6 per t cent mortgage 'cold, impersonal depositories for funds,' will at the end of five years have paid their owners SO per cent tc 35 per cent (allowing for compound interest) and that the vast majority of new ventures with, big promises will have paid nothing. "Only the man who can afford to take risks has any business to look for an investment that will make him rich quickly." Very Little Difference.
