KEMPIRE FOR fl LADY, .(9L0M-LE Synopsis: Atralnat hla will, my uncle, Jamea Clyde, hu become rajah of Bal- Ingons with life and death power over savage uyaK triDee. meae oppreaaea Junglemen were encouraged to revolt from the Malays by a young English girl, Christine Forrester. Christine visions civilization ana a great empln here. X see lifelong exile for Clyde and myself (Paul Thome). But Christine needs our help and both Clyde and are in love with ber. Chapter 31 Trouble From Two Quarters I found myself work. A Dyak gen tleman In need of a head for a mar riage ceremony caught himself wayfaring Chinaman, whom he promptly disorganized. I Jumped up the river with five Tenyalang rifle men and caught the Dyak; Clyde fined him 14 baskets of rice and took away the head. During our first month I had seven more cases like that, and caught three. This accom plished little, but I was getting ready for something else. The Tenyalang would work for me now, and I al ways had more volunteer parangmcn than X could use. I was waiting for an outrage which would force me to teach them a lesson, and establish Clyde's prestige by means of suitable unfortunate happenings. Somebody had to be licked as an example, and I was anxious to get It over with. Meantime Christine had moved in to Balingong's plank-and-bamboo palace. For some tune the Dyaks had worried a good deal over Clyde having no consort. After many at tempts they had finally given up trying to sell nun any Dyak girls, and had made him an outright gift of 18 or 20. When he put these aside in a separate house and never went near them, he was waited upon by a committee. They explained that they had ne ver yet had a rajah without a ranee. and they feared for the effect upon the rice crop. They simply must have a ranee, or what would be the use of planting at all? Oreatly amus ed, Christine seemed to welcome this excuse for overriding Clyde's opinion mat sne ought to stay on her ship. uur aaiiy aiiairs were further en livened by the arrival of Rentongen. Definitely in our agreement with the Rajah Mantusen had been the concession by Clyde that a Malay Bhah Bandar, to be named by Man tusen, should act as Clyde's assist ant and advisor in tax assessing, revenue collecting, and general search and seizure. It was the last assistance we wanted, but we had to have him, because of course he was a necessary official link with oaremoa and Mantusen's head nv Now that the coast was safe, this oinciai arrived, complete with staff, effects, and retinue, in four welt manned bankongs. I will say for Rentongen that have never seen a more presentable jviaiay. Though not as tall Mantusen himself, he was weU above the average Mslay height. ana carried ninueif with the bal anced, leisurely grace of the active fighter. In age he was probably 30, but his supple muscles were more like i, and his face no more than 80. If I had not known Malays I woura nave said tnat hit face was candid and friendly. The first move of this cheery pi rate was to have all of his belone- Ings carried Into the Rajah Clyde's nouse. ne oian t wait to be asked; Rentongen was, as we were to dis cover, strictly self-inviting through out. He Inspected and passed Clyde's extension of the longhouse. now nearly completed; and drop ped the remark that he and his people would now have something to eat. We ate. As we went through the long ceremonious silences neces sary to my uncles first council with Rentongen, I know that Clyde was trying to think of a diplomatic way to get the rascal out of his house I before he settled down to live there. Bui uns question never came up. Because otner matters much more aerious appeared Immediately. We now learned that Clyde's con cession as regarded the 8hah Ban dar had been somewhat misunder stood and exaggerated whether by Rentongen or Mantusen himself we oould not make out. What Renton . By MAY gen understood was that he was now In full charge of all taxations, extortions, frame-ups, and port lev ieseven the principal trade burg laries, notably the monopolies on salt and gunpowder. From the revenue he collected he was to hold out the annuities for the Sultan of Saremba, the annui ties for Mantusen, and a little something for himself and his peo ple; the remainder was then to be turned over to Clyde to meet gov ernment expenses, with accountings satisfactory to Rentongen. In one stroke, if he gave in to all this, Clyde's rajahship was reduced to a purely military liability. Even this, Rentongen suggested, the Shah Bandar would be happy to make easy for the Rajah Clyde. He would. if my uncle desired, take entire control of all fortifications, expe ditions, intimidations, and miscel laneous ambushes, leaving the Ra jah Clyde free to enjoy his title un impeded, together with whatever) profits might be left over when Rentongen had had his whack. It was a grave situation, almost an insuperable one. It would be a long time before we could dare defy Saremba. And now we had to explain to Rentongen that he was not collec tor of revenue either under or over Clyde. It was the duty of the Shah Bandar of Ballngong to re ceive the annuities that were due Mantusen and Saremba; these were fixed and definitely stlmi- lated In the Arabic script. The sal ary of the Shah Bandar was also fixed; we had to tell him he was going to get that and no more, and when It came to the collecting, we would do It ourselves and in our own way. There was something magnifi cent, with greatness in it, about my uncies direct, casual, unexcited i way of handling that. He simply reminded Rentongen what the writ ten agreement contained, and in formed htm he meant to adhere to it to the tetter. If Rentongen was not satisfied and Rentongen made It very plain that he was not my uncle sug gested that Rentongen had better go home and tell Mantusen that he had failed, and let Mantusen send somebody else. The thing was very far from end ed; no one council could ever per suade Rentongen that he was as much let down as that. And now In another quarter the test that we had been waiting for broke wide open. A small party of Tenyalang which I had sent In pur suit of a head murderer were set upon by a large force of Dyak fighting men, at a village In the up per Paiowlt; five of them were kill ed, one other lost his sacred rifle and 100 miles of jungle waited to see what the white rajah would do.

I M I "i mary jranam tsonntr-Ji Food For Deer WeU, It this Isn't an exciting winter, bow-wow-wow," barked Rip. aa WUly Nilly put on his coat and cap and heavy winter overboots and stepped out-of-doors Into the cold night "First we have the wild animals visiting not far from here in the Bnpty Houm. and now the deer Bra ouUlde." WUly Nilly went outf-doora. "You're hungry," he said to the deer, and they turned their toft, beautiful eyes upon him and mur mered, "Very, very hungry.' "You'd like some fruit and some vegetable! I'm aura, and I have, Carl Anderson plenty of food for all of you." The little man went back Indoors again and got as much food as he could carry. Rip helped him with some of the packages of food and Sweet Pace helped, too. Then, In the cold snowy night, the deer had a banquet. "We do not like to come where people are as a rule," said one of the deer. "People do not like us or perhaps I should say they like us too well. "During the rest of the year we go our own ways, but In the win ter time we often keep together like this. We feel It makes It safer for all of us and we can get food when we are able to protect each other. In the summer there are woods and orchards, and there are crops and we do not move In deer crowds." The deer ate and ate and then Willy Nilly told them to rest in the shed where It was warm. But It was all Willy Nilly could do to get warm after having been out for so long a time. The Puddle Muddlers got little sleep that night. Tomorrow: "Presents."
