Ii H i '! Failure Meant Death. Her By ESTHER VANDEVEER ooooooooooooooooooo Ou the western conxt of Central America Is a trilie of Indiana who are very proud of tlieir am-eMtry, tracing It to the Aztecs, who were a seml-cle llized people. Tliey trade with other races. Inn i r only ainong them selves. Nature In tropical climates NuppllcH TinhI lu such superabiiDdauce that the unlive may exchange what they don't need for what will provide other neeeawi lies than food. The principal food produced among OiIm trilie of Central America ia cocoa juts. The IndlnUH do mt need to limb the trees to gather them, for when they are ripe they fall to the ground. All day at the harvest aeasou there ' a constant dnoplng. and at vight one wbo Is unaccustomed to tbe sound will be kept awake by It. There aeems to be a untunil law that those who don't have to work for living consider themselves better than I hose who do. Whether It was this 1m uiiiulty from lalior or the fait of the blue Aztec lilisid in their veins, these Indians would admit of no union nmoiig their people with any other Their cocoanuts brought ahlps to their shores, uud the ho Mors necessarily came nsbore to load theui. This was always done by daylight, lint when ulghtcame every mini on the Island must leave. The Aztecs deBcrllnd by the Spanish conquerora nere a (leiieuieiy uiutn race, ami Home of their women lu their diiHky way were beautiful. So It wu wltb tin-He Indiana of Central Amer lea. They would go to the allure lu groups while tile (tailors were loaning their boats with cocoa nuts, and doubt less there were glances between thetu and the .lack tars. Hut the girls knew that there must be no further courting, for should there be the life of one or both would he forfeited. One day a ship was loading cocoa nuts on the shore or these proud people. Several girls stood on tbe bank watching the yawls come to the bench, take on a load of coconnuts and start back for tbe ship This getting bout over the breakers is always au entertaining sight. Several men walk Ing In the shallow water would pull the boat out to where the oars might take bold: then the ou rumen, watching an opportunity between waves, would pull lustily In order to pass the next wave before It broke. Unless tbe boat was skillfully handled It was liable to lm capsized. . The morning when tbe girls were watching the sailors the breakers were quite hlKh. The rudder of a boat com ing from the ship was unshipped by striking a bar short dlxtiiuce from the shore, and, the coxswain not being able to keep ber straight for the shore. her side was turned to tbe Incoming waves, and she was capsized. Some of the men lu ber got ashore, and some were drowned. One was washed ashore some distance below where the lat was to have landed. 'There he lay, rolled hither uud thither by each succeeding line of foam that alld high up uu the beach. The men who succeeded tn getting ashore alive were helped by the girls, who waded Into tbe water for the pur pose. One girl, aeelng the body that had been washed ashore some distance from the others, run to him". I.ylug unconscious on the sands, his light curly hair stirred by the ever moving water, h was picture of manly beauty. He was Ned Phillips, considered by his mates the daredevil of their number. He never went ashore that be did not get Into a scrape and on several occasions had been saved by some of them from gettlug killed. The girl kneeled by htm and lifted his head lu her arms. Whether It wus their warmth or tbe change of poal lion or that he had been revived by the air, he opened his eyes and looked Into a dusky face with symimtheite eyes, all of which seemed very beau tlftil to him. He tia.l become exhsust ed shortly heforv Iwlug thrown up on the beach and w:ts therefore not very irone lie rvtiirued tile look of sympathy with on of gratitude, adiiil ratlcm. love Then, staggering to his feet, tie pulled himself ti'teiher. and the i wo relolmd the others. Hut 'e1 was not In condition for nvthlng tint tvst lie lay down on the win. I. h tn! the- wlrl who had raise.! him from the water sat by hliu and fanned dim with tropical leaf. For time the- other girls stood about them Hx klna down ut Ned's pale face and ttnij tiiir- Itut youns (eople soon detest ihe lusting of those about them, and one bv one ttie girls stole away nd left them together Presently one f the other girls came and whispered something In the ear of Ned's mate, end with a frightened look she rejoin ed the others. Some native men were coining In due lime, the sea having gone down, the prove of louding was re siunxsl Phllllpo, with two other njen w ho had suffered by th spill, was left on shone to recuix-rate. This was bad IvMcy n far as he wss concerned, for the cTls resumed their position as witcher. and Ned .caught a few mo u.eiiis when uo native men were 1 prwnt to eudvair w by eirDe aad a i j ft fpantsh words he knew- oine of wlil-h the girl who h.id taken him tn ber jrms understood-that , be was ! grateful. j Forbidden fvuit is the sweetest. This .'girl knew tint by encouragiug this white man she. was bringing upon her self the penally of death, aud Ned. loo. was aware of the fact. While native men were present both were circum spect; when no one except sailors saw tbem they failed to conceal tbe bonds that were quickly being bound around them. An old adage la "Love laughs at locksmiths." There were no locks and keys for these lovers, but there were plenty of persons to note what was going on between them. How they managed to secure a few moments now and again without being seen by any of the natives or whether tbey were seen by some who did not betray tbem is a matter which does not appear. Tbe sailors would do anything in their pow er to protect Ned. and it may be that the girl had friends of her own sex who would screen ber. The weather proving at times) unpro pltious the louding of the ship was de layed, and N"d Phillips' love affair had time to s ow strong. Either luck favored him or friends helped tbe prl. to avoid dote tion until the ship was ready to sail then the storm broke over the head of the white sailor and the Indian gii Ned bad la Sme so infatuated that he resolved to -itterupt to carry bis love away with bli i. Tbe girl, though loath to leave thos who bad been all the world to her for a new life of which she knew not dng. wus ready to make the plunge, th ugh she realized that If she failed in t le attempt her life would be forfeited. The evening before the ship wus to sail Ned pulled ashore alone In one f tbe ship's boats. The Indian girl w is concealed In a grove of cocotiuut tr'-es some fifty yards from the verge. She had recently been suspected and was watched by one who saw her enter the grove. When this person snw Ned coming he gave the aluriu, but too late to prevent the girl from getting Into the boat. There was hut little sea rolling, uud Ned wus pulling from tbe shore when a short distance up the beach the girl suw a party of Indian uieu hurrying a cunoe to the water. A race wus at hand, with two lives at stake. Ned's muscle was equal to a spirited pull. aud he gave way ut once with all his strength. Tbe girl sat in the stern aud covered ber face with her bauds. A ship's boat Is not usually miide for one palf of oars. Although Ned bad tbe smallest one of tbe lot. It was very heavy. But so much depended upon the gffort that be had strength far beyond what was natural to him. His distance from the ship was a trifle less than that of the natives, but tbey could pull much faster tbau be. They were gaining en htm. aud he saw that despite the marvelous effort be was putting forth they would Intercept him when tbe girl, who faced the ship, took her hands from ber eyes, and a newly awakened hope shone in ber face. Neil burned to have a look at what she saw, but dared not cease rowing long enough to do so. But by signs ehe con trived to tell him that a boat was be Ing lowered from the ship, and In an other moment it was full of men and coming toward tbem. There were now two points at Issue- first, to save their lives tbe lovers must meet tbe ship's boat before the In dians could overtake tbem; second, if they succeeded In this 8 fight must occur between the rescue party and the pursuers. On came tbe sailors, now aud again some one of tbe oarsmen hi his haste striking the water and seudlng up the spray. On came the Indians, paddlltg carefully, but rapid- Ned could see ouly the latter and knew that unhs bis friends were pret- near it would be all up with him aud bis love. He saw a man in tbe bow of one of tbe canoes raise a spear and aim It at the girl. While It was coming from the canoe Ned turned the boat Just tn time to save her. The man took up another spear and was about to hurl It when thw was a report, and the spearman droi ied. He had been shot from tbe ship s boat The three b its now came together The canoe ct italued. ainong others. the father of the girl, who was bent on killing bo! l his daughter and the man who was -arrylng her away from her people. 1 he sailors, not wishing to kill the Im Inns, fought with their oars. The Iik mns had had time onlv to collect a fe v spears, and tbey were soon sinking to the bottom without having done any serious damage. Ned kept his eye i n any one who showed slgus of injuri g the girl, and no soon er was a blow aliui-d at her than be parried It wlt.'i his oar. Finally with blow he sent one of her enemies into the water and upset the canoe. This ended the tight. While the tn dlans were hanging on to their canoe man in the ship's bot threw Ned a rope. All gave way, and Ned and the girl were pulled to safety. When the lovers were taken aboard the ship the crew, who had been watching the flight and the fight. greeted tbem w ith a lusty cheer. Even the captain, whose duty It wss to ke p bis men from interfering with the tia tires, with whom he traded. cu;d not refrain from hearty welcome. Contrary to what might have been expected, tbe match turned out a hap py one. Ned concluded to leave a sea faring life and settled down on the coast of New England, where he en gaged in Ashing He has ccutuutsted some means and owns the bouse In which he lives He has several stal wart sons and comely daughters of a darker hue than hlms;f. but lighter than their mother, to whom he has of ten toid the story of how she was cto tured with a death penalty baugtug over ber. c TntATt We lo J THATS.TMC TOBACCO MAKES WOU FEEL A TwO YEAR.
