story of danger and distress. The rival claimant
of the throne had demanded her hand in mar-
riage, and had promised to spare the life of her
father if she would consent to become his queen.
It was but a matter of weeks, possibly of days,
till his force would be strong enough to back his
arrogant demands. In^the end the white man
knew that the Island beauty had fallen in love
with him. She pleaded with him to stay and help
her escape from the clutches of the oppressor.
It is possible that Thompson would have lin-
gered for a time if his companions had not been
eager to get away from the island before the civil
war began. They were traders, and as such they
did not care to take sides in the dispute. It
might hurt their business chances in case they
ever made another trip to the island. The anchor
was lifted, the brown sails spread and the ugly
little schooner slipped out of the harbor of Nai-
keva while Thompson stood on her deck and
waved a farewell to the imperious little island
beauty. At the very last she had reminded him
of his promise to return to Naikeva.
It was- weeks after the departure of the ship
from Naikeva that Thompson was dramatically
reminded of his promise to the Princess Laka-
nita. The sun had just set one night and Thomp-
son was lying on deck smoking and watching the
swift tropic dark come up out of the east. A na-
tive canoe scraped against the schooner’s side
and a native was heard calling for “the white
man with the blue eyes.” He was brought aboard
and proved to be the faithful messenger of the
distressed'princess. He had followed the schoon-
er across leagues of unknown seas in his open
canoe searching for the only man
couiJTeIy-fo?~aM-.- „
The end was at hand In Naikeva, and Laka-
nita and her father were about to be put to death.
Help musjt come quickly, and it was more than
possible that it was now too late. That night the
stanch itttle trading vessel pointed her prow
toward Naikeva. In the final melee along the
sands the old king and his rival were both slain
and Thompson was stunned by a blow from a
war club in the hands of a savage fighting man.
When he revived he and his men began a hunt
of extermination for all the revolters. They were
wiped out and their villages fired before the party
returned to the king’s village, where the schooner
lay anchored. Then the white hero was stricken
by one of the malignant island fevers, brought
on by his injury on the beach.
It was many days before he was able to rec-
ognize his free-trading companions. The princess
had been his devoted nurse through his danger-
ous attack of tropical fever. Now that he was about
to leave the island forever she grew sorrowful
and listless. She drooped like a dying flower as
the ship’s preparations for sailing were being
made. All his promises to return brought on fits
of passionate weeping on the part of the little
princess. She wanted him to stay.
“I fought that fever when it tried to take you
away from me, and it was all for nothing,” was
her constant reply, and now that you are well
the white men are taking you away whdre Laka-
nita can never hope to see you again.”
In the end her pleadings won. After all there
was nothing in the outer world to which he cared
to go back.
The good news spread quickly over the little
kingdom. “The Child of the Sun” was to wed
their princess and rule them in the wise ways of
the white njan.

We are told that the latest sensa-
tion in the medical world is the asser-
tion of a doctor that he is able, by
looking into a patient’s eye, to make
an accurate diagnosis of the complaint
which the patient is suffering. But is
this really as novel as it is supposed
to be? I recollect hearing some time
ago of a doctor who said to a patient

F A disappointment in love started him out upon

lage girls of old A.^ou. Things move slowly in
this, one of the oldest and proudest towns of Illi-
nois. In the natural course of events it was to
be expected that the two would marry in the full-
ness of time. There was a home to be built and
preparations made for a start in life. Something
of the methodical slowness of their English an-
cestors clung then, and still clings, to the every-
day life of the citizens of Albion. The town has
changed but little in the years that have flown

homes of the arlszjcratlc English families to
him. Among the many young girls that he
met was the village belle, thh affianced of the
young Scotch-American. It was another varia-
tion of that old triangle, the woman and two
men. From the first the friends of young Thomp-
son could see that his cause Pas hopeless. His
affianced wife and the young stranger spent more
and more of their time together. Little rumors
began to find their way about the village. The
gossips, ever ready in a small town, were soon
busy. Thompson, moody and hurt by her sys-
tematic neglect, was the last to hear and the last
to countenance the whispered talk that was go-
ing the round of the village loafing places.
There was a great hue and cry along the
quiet old streets one summer morning. Thomp-
son’s bride to be had disappeared. Her mother
had gone to her room to awaken her and found
her gone. Sbe had gone with the young man-
ager of Albion’s latest business house, and from
that day to this neither of them have been heard

Young Thompson changed in a day from a
cheerful, happy lad to a grim-faced man. He
became moody and silent. He neglected his work
and never went near the home to which he had
expected to lead his bride. Less than a month
after the flight of the elopers there was more
excitement in Albion. It was reported that Ed-
ward Thompson had disappeared. The strain and
the shame of living in a town where every man,
woman and child knew the story of his jilting
had proven too much for his sensitive, high-strung
nature.
While life flowed on in the same uneven cur-
rent in the village of his nativity he was wander-
ing here-and there among the emerald Islands,
the lagoons and the coral reefs of the seas that
behold the Southern Cross.
All the Islands that lie off the faPJiuar"track
-of the steamers knew, Jiini^rst and last in the
three of 'fSHJT-ySars that he spent with the traders
and copra buyers. The Philippines, the Ladrones,
the Solomons and a dozen other island groups of
the southern Pacific were visited by him in the
epic years of his Odyssey,

Island kingdoms was brewing
the tramp schooner dropped anchor inside the reef
of coral that formed the harbor breakwater. A
new claimant had risen for the throne and he
and his followers were demanding the scepter
and the head of tbe old king.
Thompson had left Illinois, had put the states
behind him to escape the constant reminder of
his lost love that he saw in every woman. The
wandering life of three or four years had cleansed
his heart of but little bitterness against woman-
kind. He had put the old life behind him and
dreamed only of adventure and never of bright
eyes and loving lips. It was a mixed crew of
Kanakas, Malaysians and half-castes aboard the
little trading schooner. They cared but little for
the kings and chieftains of the islands, but It
was a part of their policy to be polite to the na-
tive rulers. An audience was arranged with the
native sovereign and a part of the ship’s company
attended laden with calicoes, mirrors and brass
rods as gifts. It was in the royal hut Thompson
first sew the Princess Lakanita. She stood at the
side of her father’s throne when the white men
entered the palm hut for their talk with the old
king. * k
Some indefinite attraction seemed to draw the
white adventurer and the brown-skinned princess
to each other. They met many times while the
schooner was taking on its load of native prod-
ucts. There was more than a little Spanish
blood in the veins of the old king’s daughter. Her
mother was a half-caste Spanish woman and
much of the languorous beauty of the maids of
old Castile was the heritage of this barbaric
princess of the remote isle of Naikeva.
