THE HEAD HUNTERS OF SAN BLAS
By Jack Gihon —
BYNOPSIS €
Frank Mulroy and Tom Benson, with Tom's father and a white gulde
Daig, have come to the San Blas region of Pansma-a section almost
unexplored and reputedly filler with head hunters. While walking in
the woods, Frank and Tern are followed, and after retreating, and
temporary refuge In a tree, which two Indians ea their trail attempt
te burn down to dislodge them. The boys are forced to descend, and
ere captured as they drop to the ground. Their hands are tied behind
them, bat Frank manages te escape, and one Indian goes la pursuit,
while the other leads Tom back te a little Indian village, where Tom is
tied to a tree.
INSTALLMENT VI
WHEN Frank Mulroy, hit hands
"V tied behind his back, dashed to
. freedom, leaving Tom in the eua-
( tody of the Indians, he did not have
6 any logical plan in his mind on how
A to proceed. Hie first impulse was
to get away; accordingly, running
on a zig-zag course, and keeping
behind underbrush as much as pos-
sible, he sped blindly on. Behind
him, somewhere, he was certain
there were pursuers; he did not
dare hope that the Indians' would
so easily let slip the quarry which
they had been so eager to capture.
On he ran, almost blindly, his
i imagination running riot. At one
1 moment he thought he could hear
i the heavy breathing of his pur-
suers; st another, he could almost
feel their hot breath on his neck,
until he turned as hs ran, to see
that no one was in sight. It was
' not his intention to desert Tom. He
felt, though, that the only chance
for the escape of both of them was
for one to be free, to bring help,
if possible. Gradually his pace
slackened, until now, hearing no
sound behind him, he was walking,
cautiously, feeling his way in the
direction that the harbor was. -
eyes directed sullenly toward the
ground.
Dais was speaking to him now—
speaking in a language. Frank
could not understand. It was the
San Blas dialect; Daig, scorn writ-
ten on his face, was berating the
man. Then he turned to Frank.
"I guess well go get Tom, now,”
he said. —--.—.
Frank gasped. “Alone?”
"Sure we’ll go alone. These fel-
lows are yellow—you could have
bluffed them easy, if you’d a known
it. We’ll go and get Tom, and
have a big supper aboard' the
JOLLY MAIDEN — and maybe
you’ve had enough of walking in
jungles alone and won't be doing
it any more.” -> .
“You bet I won’t," Frank said
fervently. “I’ve had enough to
last me the rest of my life!"
THE Indian in the lead, the three
I walked back to where Torn and
Frank had been captured. It, was
slow going; Frankewanted to run,
but Daig assured hir.: there was
plenty of time. At last they
reached the spot where the tree
was smoldering; the fire had died
down and only a faint glow could
be seen. But Tom, and the other
—, Indian, were not there.
The Indian turned and shrugged,
and said a few words to Daig:
Daig replied, hia lips tightened into
a straight line, while the Indian
stood silent and sullen; finally, he
shrugged his shoulders again,
examined the queer arrangement
of twigs which the other had left,
and led the way on through the
woods._
“He said he didn't know what
had happened to Tom,” Daig ex-
plained, “but I told him it was best
for him to find out. So he did."
On they went, and finally they,
'too, reached the village where Tom
was held captive. With no ex-
pression of fear in his bearing,
Daig strode into the center of the
clearing. Frank, seeing Tom, still
bound to the tree, ran to him with
a shout.
Finally he came to familiar
ground. On his left was the little
river, smooth running and silent,
with foliage hanging low on either
bank. Before him was the path,
that only a few hours before, he
and Tom had walked joyously, un-
knowing of the adventures that lay
, before them. The village could be
b only a few miles farther, now—he
must get there quickly, and get
help. He broke into an adaptation ,
of the Scout pace—one hundred
paces of running, and one hundred
of walking, alternately. How often,
back In the United States, he had
gone miles at this very pace. It
had been fun then. Now Franke
face was set in grim lines; he felt
---it was a matter of life and death
for him to reach his destination. - ,
He heard a noise behind him—
and breathed a sigh of thankful-
* ness for the forest, that intensified
every noise. Turning, his heart
__sank. Creeping up on him, run-
ning at a swift dog trot, was one •
of the Indians who had been his
captor.
Frank broke into a run with all
- his strength. Ho wanted to shout, -
but it would do little, good; he |
needed every bit of wind he had.
The Indian, although an adult,
was no larger than was Frank. He
was built heavily, and though
r stronger, did not have the fleetness
that the boy had, Frank, running
and glancing back over his should-
er, saw that lie was getting away
from the man. Faster he went,
and faster, intent on reaching his
goal, and so serious in purpose
that he felt no fatigue from the
effort
THEN suddenly an unbelievable
i sight confronted him. Striding
up the path, clad in khaki, a white
... pit hheimet on his head, was Daig!
Good old Daig! Daig, the guide,
the man who was one of the few
T white men that knew this country’s
" Interior— Daig, the friend, who had
been their shipmate, and had kept
them awake most of the night, with
storips of this mystic country, on
the voyage down from Colon.
With a sob, Frank dashed up
to him, and threw himself into the
man’s arms. What mattered it
now that an Indian waa chasing
him. What mattered it if a whole
Indian tribe should be chasing him.
y Frank felt supreme confidence in
/ this man; excitedly, in broken
words, he poured out the story of
. what had happened. He did not
w have time to finish. Another mo-
ment, and the Indian, his, pursuer,
■ was in sight, panting heavily as he
ran.
Frank expected Dalg to shoot
him: instead, the guide walked up
to the man slowly, without lifting
the rifle he was, carrying, and
stopped him with a gesture.
There was an immediate trans-
formation in the man. Still breath:
ommetkringheavily-from-his exertion of
chasing Frank, the Indian cringed
before Daig, bowed before him, his

If you have ever tried to inver

the great inventors do it., This
the way. Thomas Edison got h
idea for making a talking machin

on.

TOMMY looked at the crisp new

i ly must be dreaming. It wasn’t-so |
much the fact that he was about to
I earn a dollar that was incredible as
: the way he was to earn it Tommy
had earned dollars before, but
never in such a delightful manner .
as this.
He had been on his — way to
school that morning when a strange |
man stopped him. “Do you know !
Georgie Warne?" the man had
asked.
"Sissy Warne? Yep, he’s in my
class. He's at the head and I’m at
the foot,” Tommy grinned. “But,
heck, he doesn't ever do anything
but study. I reckon 1 could be at
the head, too, if I was an old book-
. point into his finger. This gay
him an idea.
He got a piece of telegraph par
er and found that by talking in!
the telephone he made queer mark
on the paper with the point of th
, needle. He tried speaking the who
alphabet and found that he pre
duced‘ a different kind of scrate
on the paper, as he pronounce
each different letter. He shouted
"Hello,” then ran the needle bac
over its mark and heard ver
• faintly, “Hello.” |
For a man like Edison so mud
- was only a beginning. In an hr
stant’s time the great possibilitie
of the thing rose before him an
he said, “I will make a talkin

All the Indians in the village
were stolid now; they refused, too,
to profess interest in what was
transpiring. Judging from their
attitude, Tom's presence in the vil-
lege, tied to a tree, was something
they knew nothing about, nor
cared. Frank, meanwhile, tears
streaming down his cheeks from
ths reaction that safety brought,
was feverishly untying the knots
hat bound Tom, getting them hope-
lessly tangled in his excited efforts
to loosen them. Daig, seeing his
trouble, strode to the tree, and cut
the sout cord with a single sweep
of his knife.
you took the offensive in the first
place, and shot at one of those
fellows. They don't like to be shot
at—natural enough—and so they
were going to take some mild sort
of vengeance. If you hadn’t run
in the first place, they never would
have had courage to follow you and
do what they did.
"And then," he went on, “when
you shot again and injured one of
them, they were all set to take
some real vengeance."
Tom sighed heavily. "I don't
care what their reason was,” he
said, “but I do know they made it
pretty hot for us.”

And now the two boys were
laughing. Tom, rubbing nia anna
and swinging them, to bring bark
circulation, was jumping up and
down; Frank, in the happiness of
their freedom, was dancing around
TUST then, suddenly, they came
• to ths end of the forest. Before
them, sloping down to the edge of
the phosphorus sea, was ths vil-
lage, Port San Blas. Out in the
harbor was the JOLLY MAIDEN,
riding at anchor. Tomorrow, per-
haps, they would be sailing back to
Colon. And then, back to the
United States.
“Gee, but I’ll be glad to get back
—won’t you?” Frank whispered to
his pal.
“You bet I will,” Tom replied.
"Why, think of how envious the
gang is going to be, when we tell
'em what happened down here!”
THE END
THE SCOUT OATH
0a my honor I will do my best— -
To da my duty to God and my country, and t»
obey the Scout law;
To help other people at all times; . ,
’ To keep myself physically strong, mentally

I like that. It to the oath solemnly sworn by every boy
who becomes a Scout, and to the basis of the whole creed
of that great organization of the Boy Scouts of America. It

would mind if EVERY boy, whether a Scout or not, would
take that oath for his own CODE of CONDUCT.
Sissies and weaklings will drift along aa the current

duct, even though they might not have put it down in so
many w ords. And the Scout oath makes a good one.
I would suggest that you read it over—-MEMORIZE it.
Clip it out, and paste it in your notebook.
If you take an oath like that, and STICK BY IT, you will

handspring. v
".I guess we can go back to the
ship, now,” Daig said.
Impressive and stately, Daig ad-
dressed a few parting words to
the Indians of the village. . The Ins
dian who had boen wo nded had
come to the fore; he attempted to
interrupt, pointing to his Injured
arm as he did so, but Daig waved
him to silence.
“All right, boys," said Daig, re-
turning to the English tongue,
“let's get started."
THE journey beck to the harbor
I was made in short time.
Though it was dark, Daig was
easily able to find his way through
the woods, until they came to the
path again, the while the two boys
excitedly jabbered over their ad-
ventures; reliving each moment in
the telling about it.
“Just imagine what would have
happened if you hadn't come,” said
Tom. He shuddered. “Already I
was beginning to see how my head
was going to look, stuck on top of
a pole.” <
Daig laughed. “The truth of the
matter, Tommie.” he said, “is that
they weren't after you as prospec-
tive "heads' at all. It seems that
The monkey bathing pool was a happy idea of - Mr.
Monk’s, and nearly all the monkey visitors to Junglepool
came to it for a dip. They were particularly taken with the
high-diving arrangements and also the’rule against anyone
but monkeys using the pool. One day, however, an alligator
found his way into the forbidden waters while Mr. Monk
himself was having a bath. Hearing the general outcry of

"Doesn’t he ever play football or
baseball?”
“Nope!” Tommy seemed to find
the idea amusing. “He’s afraid of,
getting dirty. He’s an awful sissy,
you know.”
The man nodded understandingly.
"Yes, 1 know. I’m his fathsr. Look
here, how much would you take to
lick him? Don't hurt him, juet
knock him down and get him good .
and dirty. That’s what he needs, 1
think." ------
Tommy’s eyes shone. "Gee,
mister, I'd do that for nothing. I'd
like to."
But the man had throat the crisp
new dollar bill in Tommy’s hand.
"All right.” hs grinned, “go after
him* this afternoon, then. Give it
to him, son.” •
Tommy had stared after the man
in wonder. He was surely the fun- |
niest kind of a father he had ever
seen, but Tommy was glad he was | . , .........
funny. He pocketed the dollar bill 10. Suaken your" Teeth white
and started off to clean up on Sissy. 1
"Dad.” Georgie Warne, alias
Sissy, came into the house covered
with mud and with one black eye.
“will you teach me how to box and
wrestle and fight, tonight, right
away?”
All his life Mr. Warne had been
trying to interest his son in all
kinds of-sports, but never before
with any success. “You bet I will,”
he cried. "Come out in the backs
yard 'and we’ll have our first les-
son.”
The next morning as Georgie's
father same out of his gate he was
mst by two boys. “Mister, let me
lick him today,” they clamored.
"I’ll do it for fifty cents," one of-
fered. "It ain’t worth a dollar.” .
But Mr. Warne gave him a dol-ton
lar ae he had Tommy. "I rather
think you'll earn it,” he said.
Then, aa the boy ran off to
school to lick Sissy and earn his
dollar, Mr. Warne laughed guiltily
and turned to follow him. “I’d like
to see that fight myself," he
grinned. “Georgia was a pretty apt
pupil. He can always do anything
he wants to. I’m glad I gave that T
kid a dollar. Georgis will lick
him sure with that new punch I
taught him.”

My Dog Does----
Savage Gorilla
Feared in Jungle
The savage gorilla of West Af-
rice is perhaps the most feared of
all beasts of the jungle, for when
the smaller animals—hear him
crashing through the underbrush,
beating on his shaggy chest with
his long arms, they scamper away
in terror.
He is a trouble-maker, and swag-
gers about with a leer on his ugly,
wrinkled face. When he corners
an animal or a hunter he crouches
and shows his teeth, while a bristle
of hair across his forehead .tands
out fiercely.
Although he is not as smart as
some of the smaller apes, the gor-
illa is more difficult to capture and
when caught usually dies: in his
cage. In the jungle be has no
home, but wanders about making
very good speed by swinging him-
self forward on his powerful arms
His shoulders are so broad and
heavy that he weighs twice as much
as a man the same height.
