These form one of the many island groups that hang like a -fringe or festoon on the skirt of the continent of Asia. Like most of -the islands in the Pacific, the Philippines are inhabited by people -belonging to the brown race, one of the great divisions of the family -of mankind. - -The Philippines are shared by many tribes, all belonging to the same -brown race. People of one tribe may be found on one of these islands; -those of a different tribe are living on another; or one tribe may live -in a valley and its neighbour in the hills; and so on to the number of -eighty tribes. Each tribe has its own customs and ways. And yet we -shall call these various peoples of the brown race our cousins; for -not only are they our kindred by the ties which unite all the races of -men in this world; they have been adopted into the family of our own -nation, the United States of America. - -The people of these islands are many of them wild and distrustful -children. They have no faith in us; they do not wish to obey our laws. -If we are in earnest in our wish to do them good, and not harm, we must -learn to know them better, so that we may understand their needs. That -is one reason why we are going to learn about our little Philippine -cousin, Alila of Luzon. - - - - -Contents - - - CHAPTER PAGE - I. THE NEW BABY 9 - II. HIS FIRST PARTY 15 - III.

His big black eyes seemed -to be moving around all the time, as much as to say: - -"I must find out everything I can, and just as fast as I can, about -this queer place in which I find myself." - -His hair was straight and coarse and black, even on the day he was -born. It was quite warm (in fact, almost all the days are warm in the -Philippines), yet the doorway was carefully covered and the windows -closed tightly. - -Now, why do you suppose Alila found himself shut up in a close room -like that when he first entered this big round world of ours, while -there was such a soft gentle breeze outside as scarcely to move the -tops of the cacao-trees in the garden? - -The fact is, Alila's father, who is not afraid of the wild buffalo nor -the boa-constrictor, nor even the huge cayman, is constantly dreading -the evil that bad spirits may bring to him. And now he had a darling -boy of his very own! According to the beliefs of his people, no evil -spirit must be allowed to enter a home when a child is born, or the -little one might be troubled by the spirit for the rest of his life. - -So the loving parent walked back and forth over the roof waving a bolo -in his hand, as much as to say: - -"Look out, spirits, or you may get your throats cut. Keep away from -here. Do not try to get inside to trouble my little one." - -He did this very earnestly in the first hour of Alila's life, although -he was shown the foolishness of such ideas by the priests the Spaniards -sent among his people. - -He is a small man, this father of Alila. He has high cheek-bones like -the Chinese and Japanese, and no beard upon his face. - -When he felt that everything was really safe, he climbed down from the -thatched roof, and, opening the door as little as possible, went softly -up to the mat where the baby lay and kissed him. - -But, dear me! not all persons kiss the way we do, and this father of -the Malay race seemed rather to _smell_ the baby than anything else we -can think of. He placed his own nose and lips on the baby's cheek and -drew a long breath. It was done to show his love, and that is what any -kiss is given for, is it not? - -This baby's bed would not, perhaps, suit all the other babies in the -world. Some of those babies we know are cared for on cushions of -down and wrapped in soft flannels and delicate muslins. But what did -black-eyed Alila care for that? To be sure, he lay on a mat of woven -palm leaves, but it was sweet and fresh. - -And although the floor his eyes sometimes rested on was not covered -with a rich velvet carpet, it was smooth and clean, for it was made of -split bamboos flattened and fitted close together. And oh, that floor -was beautifully polished by Mother Nature herself, for the bamboos as -they grow are covered on the outside with a coating of the finest and -hardest varnish. - -If Alila could have thought about it at all, he would have considered -himself more fortunate than most babies,--for did not his own dear -mother, who lay at his side, make every bit of the spread which covered -his tiny body? She had taken the fibres of pineapple leaves and hemp -and woven them together. - -But that alone would not make the spread beautiful enough for her -dear one. It must be given a bright colour, so she searched through -the woods till she found a sapan-wood tree; then, breaking off some -branches and opening them, she took a substance from the heart of each -and made a crimson dye. - -So you can see that the cover was done entirely by Alila's mother; and -you can ask yourself if that wasn't a hundred times better than buying -cloth out of a store. That would not have the touch of love in its -making. - -There was something else in Alila's home one does not see in other -lands. Whenever the baby's eyes turned toward the light, they found -it very soft and restful, for it came through a window in which were -fitted the inner shells of a certain kind of oyster. - -It was so pretty! The colours of the rainbow shone there in pale tints, -and the flaring sunshine could not enter. The room was kept in a sort -of twilight all day long, and made it pleasant for the new-born baby -and his mamma to doze and dream. - - - - -CHAPTER II. - -HIS FIRST PARTY. - - -ALILA was not two hours old before friends began to arrive to see him. -But they did not enter suddenly! That would have been the height of -rudeness. As they reached the doorway, each in turn stood for a long -time on the outside, making many complimentary remarks to Alila's -family. That was their way of showing themselves well-mannered and -polite. - -The Tagals, for that is the name of this tribe of people, never do -anything suddenly. They do not appear to believe in surprise parties. - -When all the fine speeches which seemed proper had been made, they -entered the little house and came to the side of the new baby. They -made the young mother very proud by the praise they gave her tiny son. - -[Illustration: "HIS MOTHER HAD BATHED HIM IN THE WATER OF THE RIVER"] - -But she and her husband were not the only ones pleased. There was -Alila's grandmother, who was always the most honoured one in the -household; there was also an aunt who made her home here as she was -too poor to have one of her own; and beside these, there was a lame -old man, a friend of the family, who had come to them for shelter. The -Tagals are so hospitable they will never turn any one from their homes. - -As one visitor after another arrived, the little house became crowded. -If it had not been for the high, dome-shaped roof, the air would have -grown heavy and impure. As it was, Alila and his mother soon grew very -tired and closed their eyes in sleep. - -"That is good," said the grandmother, "we must let her rest. We will go -out under the cacao-trees and talk, and I will bring some cocoa wine -and betel to you there." - -This old woman was certainly not pretty, although good and thoughtful. -As she stood talking to the visitors in low tones, one could see how -short she was. Her coarse, black hair grew down upon her forehead -almost to her eyebrows; her wrinkled skin was dark brown; her eyes were -large and round and, like her baby grandchild's, ever turning in a new -direction. - -She was dressed in a short skirt much like those of the other women of -the party; it was of three colours,--green, white, and bright red. Over -this she wore a large piece of blue cotton cloth, cut in the shape of -an oblong, tucked in at the waist and hanging over her skirt almost -down to her knees. No shoes or stockings covered the bare legs or feet, -but she did not seem to miss them. - -She was as straight as an arrow, even if she were a grandmother. -Perhaps it was because she had been used to carrying jars of water and -baskets of fruit upon her head ever since she was a little child. - -She moved softly about the hut as she got the entertainment ready for -the company. From one corner she drew forth a large bamboo with a grass -stopple in it. This held the wine the guests would sip so sparingly, -for the Tagals are a sober people and seldom drink enough fermented -liquor to hurt them. The old woman next got some cocoanut shells -together. These were the only drinking-cups the family ever used. - -But the betel which she now placed beside the other things,--what is -that, you ask? It is not a food, and yet it often takes the place of -food; for a Tagal can work a long time without eating if he can chew -all of this he wishes. It is prepared from the nut of the areca palm, -one of the most beautiful trees in the world. A palm of this kind -grows right beside Alila's home, and, now that he is a big boy, he -climbs the tall tree himself and brings down the nuts which grow at the -top under the tuft of glossy green leaves. - -The nuts are cut into thin slices and wrapped in the leaves of a -singular plant called buyo. But, before they can be used for this -purpose, these leaves are coated with lime made from oyster shells and -then folded up. - -Alila's grandmother prepared a quantity of betel before the new baby -was born. - -Just as she was going out to offer refreshments, another visitor -arrived. It was a friend who had come from a distance, but the mother -and child must not be wakened. Oh, no! that was not to be thought of. -The souls of people leave their bodies and go away while they are -sleeping, the old woman believes; and if any one should arouse them -suddenly, they might never return to their bodies. - -So, of course, the visitor, who also had this belief, wouldn't have -disturbed the sleepers for anything in the world. She quietly turned -away and joined the other guests in the garden. - - - - -CHAPTER III. - -THE CHRISTENING. - - -ALILA was christened soon after he was born. Dear me, what a time that -was! The festival lasted several days. There was a host of friends and -acquaintances around the little home, making merry and admiring the -baby. - -Alila himself was as clean and sweet as any child in the world could -be. His mother had bathed him in the water of the river which flowed -down the mountainside near them, while the leaves of the papaw-tree -took the place of soap. - -The young mother herself was only fifteen years old. She was dressed -in her brightest skirt and fairly shone with the abundance of cheap -jewelry she wore. Her hair was combed straight back from her forehead. -She wore nothing on her feet excepting her queer slippers, of which she -seemed very proud. She had herself embroidered them to look like a pair -worn by the rich lady whose husband owned the plantation. They were -perfectly flat and had only uppers enough to encase two or three toes. - -What queer, uncomfortable things to wear on one's feet! Alila will -never own such things because he is a boy, and he should be glad of it. - -His grandmother and aunt had a fine feast prepared for the visitors. -There was a good supply of roasted buffalo and wild boar's meat. There -was a salad made from the young green tops of the bamboo; steamed rice -and stewed iguana; papaws, which tasted like melons; tamarind sauce and -guavas and bananas. And, of course, there was an abundance of betel, -cocoa wine and tuba. - -But strangest of all the dishes at the Tagal's feast was one prepared -from a kind of beetle. The guests relished it greatly and Alila's -father was praised very much for surprising them with this dainty. - -But the feast was only a small part of the entertainment. A band came -from the village to furnish music. Every instrument on which they -played was made of bamboo. Then there was dancing and singing under the -palm-trees by old and young, and when evening came there were displays -of fireworks. - -As Alila's father was quite poor, how could he afford such splendour? -The fact is, it cost him nothing! It was a free show given by Mother -Nature. Her little children, the fireflies, gathered in great numbers -and danced in circles around the trees. Any one ought to be satisfied -with fireworks like those. - -Alila's eyes watched the people eat with their fingers and looked at -the lights dancing about; he listened to the odd, sweet music for -a little while; and then those black eyes closed tightly and he lay -fast asleep in his young mother's arms. Of course, he doesn't remember -anything about it now, but his grandmother has told him the story so -many times it almost seems as though his own mind had kept the pictures -for him. - - - - -CHAPTER IV. - -THE BUILDING OF THE HOUSE. - - -AND now he is a big boy, ten years old, and can do so many things to -help his parents. He has not always lived in the home where he was -born. Last summer a whirlwind destroyed that one, but he helped his -father build another just like the first, and he showed himself a very -clever worker. - -He searched through the forest for bamboos of the right size; he did -his share in cutting them down and splitting them for the walls of the -hut. When they were ready, he worked each morning in thatching the roof -until it grew too warm. Then came dinner and a nap under the trees -until the late afternoon, when work began again. - -In a few days a new home was ready and the terrible hurricane forgotten -by the carefree, happy little boy. - -Can you guess what part of the hut took the largest share of Alila's -time and attention? It must have been the window-panes, for he was -anxious to get the most beautiful mother-of-pearl he could find. He had -to take a trip to the seashore ten miles away, and then he spent many -hours finding such oyster shells as had a very delicate lining. - -"The two windows must be beauties," said the boy to himself, "for that -will please my mother so much." - -No carpenter's shop nor store was visited during the whole time. It -was not needful, for the forest near by stretched its arms toward -the workers, as much as to say: "Come to me; I will gladly give you -everything you can possibly wish." - -"How about nails," you ask, "and stout cord with which to fasten all -the parts together?" - -Nails, and a bolt in the door? Why, what could be better than a stick -of rattan, cut and whittled into shape? Cord? That was obtained very -easily, too, from a bushrope-tree growing near Alila's home. It is so -stout and strong it is not an easy thing to break it. - -When the house was finished, it looked like a great beehive. There was -only one room, but what of that? If people are perfectly comfortable -they can be as happy in a one-roomed hut as though they lived in a -palace. - -Alila has so many good times you would almost envy him. In the first -place, it takes him only a minute to dress in the morning. A pair of -thin trousers and a shirt hanging down outside instead of being tucked -in at the waist, and his toilet is made. - -When he goes out into the sunlight, he wears an odd-looking hat of -rattan. It is made in the shape of a cone, and shields his eyes nicely -from the sunshine. He goes to no school, so he does not know how to -write to his new American brothers, but that doesn't trouble him in the -least. - -He always has enough to eat, and is satisfied with a dinner of rice -and fish any day. Besides, there is always a bunch of bananas hanging -inside the house, and he has sugar-cane in abundance. - -He is hardly ever punished and is allowed to do very much as he -pleases. It is fortunate that he pleases to do right nearly all the -time. - -He swims every day in the river; he fishes from his bamboo raft; he -hunts in the forest with his father. His chief duty on the sugar -plantation is to keep the monkeys out of the cane. It was not long ago -that he shot two of the mischievous little fellows with his bow and -arrow and hung the poor things on poles like scarecrows to frighten -others away. - - - - -CHAPTER V. - -FOUR-FOOTED FRIENDS. - - -ALILA has a tame monkey at home now. He has taught him many clever -tricks. Every night when he goes to bed, the monkey curls himself up -by his side and lies there till morning. He seems to love his little -master very dearly and often rides on his shoulder while Alila is -working. - -Until a few months ago, the boy has lived on a sugar plantation owned -by a rich Tagal planter. The plantation is divided up into small farms -and rented to different workmen. The planter furnishes one buffalo and -all the needed tools to care for each little place. - -When the harvest time arrives in December, each tenant carries his crop -to the mill for grinding. He is allowed one-third of it for himself, -and, whatever price it brings, it must support his family for the next -year. - -[Illustration: "SOMETIMES ALILA RIDES ON HIS BACK"] - -Alila is not the least afraid of his father's buffalo. When he was only -three years old the huge creature would obey him and allow him to drive -anywhere he pleased. He seemed to know by the tone of the boy's voice -just what he wished him to do. - -It made an odd picture,--the tiny little fellow, holding a slender rein -in his chubby hands as he trotted along by the buffalo's side. The rein -was fastened to a piece of split rattan drawn through the animal's -nose. Yet somehow every motion of Alila was understood by him. Is it -the boy's patience that makes the beast so gentle? We like to think so. - -If we should take Alila's place the animal would not stir to obey us. -He would at once become stubborn and ugly, because he is not used to -our quick, nervous, impatient ways. - -He cannot work all day like a horse. After two or three hours, he needs -to stop and rest. But that is not enough,--he suffers if he cannot -have a bath. Sometimes Alila rides on his back when he plunges into -the river, and holds on without fear while the buffalo stretches his -head down and holds it under the water for two minutes at a time as he -searches for food. - -How Alila does love him! He has the next place in his heart to his -father and mother. But the buffalo has other good friends beside -Alila's family. They are not people, nor even other buffaloes. They -are white herons that follow him as he ploughs. They are not afraid if -Alila is the only person there. As the animal's heavy feet plod over -the ground, worms and insects come to the surface. The herons know this -and easily get a good breakfast. - -Besides these attendants, a small blackbird often keeps the buffalo -company, who will raise up his head in delight to meet it. Why is -it? Because the bird flies about his head and neck and picks off the -insects from his skin. - -This buffalo has lived on the farm from the time he was caught wild -when a baby. If he had not been so young he could never have been -tamed. A wild buffalo is a terrible thing; he is most to be dreaded of -any creature in the islands. - - - - -CHAPTER VI. - -THE BUFFALO HUNT. - - -ALILA'S father has been on several buffalo hunts, but never yet has -he allowed his boy to go with him. He says it is far too dangerous; -the little boy must wait until he is older. But it is so hard to wait, -Alila thinks, as he longs for the time to come and looks up at the pair -of horns brought home from the last hunt. - -The horns are very long and curved and sharp. The boy often wonders if -there is another animal in the world with such fearful horns. He says -to himself: - -"Perhaps the very buffalo who owned this pair was the one that gored -to death poor Olo." Alila stretched himself on the ground, closed his -eyes, and again pictured the story in his mind. This is the tale: - -In the village just below the plantation there lived a young man who -was honest and brave but very poor. It happened that he loved the -daughter of a neighbour very dearly and she returned his love. But the -youth had no money and no land, and at first the girl's father said: - -"No, you cannot have my daughter, for you can give her no wedding -portion." - -It is the custom among these people for the lover to give his bride as -fine a present as her parents think suitable. The young man felt very -sad, when an idea entered his mind that gave him hope. He said to the -father: - -"Can I not come to your farm and serve you for two years? And if I then -show myself faithful in all my duties, will you give me your daughter?" - -The father consented. It was a very common thing for such service to -be given, and he felt satisfied. - -The two years passed by. The young man had worked day after day at -the hardest labour. He had never spoken a cross word nor found the -slightest fault. But now that his service was over and the day set for -his marriage, he wished to show the father of the lovely girl how brave -he was, and he wanted to make his bride some little present, too. - -He heard that a party of men, one of whom was Alila's father, were -going on a buffalo hunt. He would join them. It was to be his first -venture of this kind, but he had no fear. - -The party was made up of six men on horseback, two tame buffaloes, and -a pack of immense dogs used to hunting. The men were armed with knives -and spears and each one carried a lasso. - -They started in the early morning and rode out over the plains till -they came to the edge of a large forest. There they waited at some -little distance from an opening through the trees while the dogs were -sent into the forest to rouse the prey. They had only a short time to -wait before the barking of the dogs was heard. - -They took their places some distance from each other and listened -breathless. The young lover was to be given the first chance in this -combat. A bull-fight is fearful enough, but it cannot compare with the -struggle between a maddened buffalo and his pursuer. - -Hark! There is a crashing of trees, a falling of branches. The ground -shakes and out from the darkness of the forest plunges a huge buffalo. -He raises a storm of dust as he comes onward. He is shining black, and -as he tosses his head one can see the wicked horns, capable of doing -such terrible injury. - -For an instant he pauses and looks at the men standing ready to -capture him; then he rushes toward the young man, who now has the -chance he begged for. With lasso in hand he urges his horse toward the -buffalo. - -It is over in a moment's time. He has hurled his lasso but has failed; -and before he can move out of danger the furious animal has thrown him -from his horse and ended his life. - -But the other hunters cannot stop a second. They, too, will lose their -lives if they are not careful and quick. One after another gallops -after the enraged animal and throws his lasso. There are several -failures, but each time the men manage to escape. At last two are -successful, and the monster, hardly able to breathe, stands quiet and -still. - -He is conquered. And now other lassos are drawn tightly around that -magnificent head and the animal is tied to the stout trunk of a tree. -The danger is over for these others, but the poor youth who longed so -greatly to succeed lies dead not far away. He will never see his dear -one again. - -The men lift his body tenderly and carry it to the place where the tame -buffaloes have been left. They place it on the back of one of them. -Then they return to their prey and fasten a rattan ring through his -nose. With one of the tame buffaloes on each side of him, he can now be -easily led to the village, where they will kill him. - -All the people came out to meet the hunters, and, when they heard the -sad news, all hearts were filled with pity for the young bride. - - - - -CHAPTER VII. - -THE RICH MAN'S HOME. - - -ONE day as the boy lay dreaming of the time when he should be allowed -to risk his life in a buffalo hunt, his quick ear heard the steps of -some one coming down the road. He jumped up and saw an old friend of -his father's, a well-known hunter. He carried a basket in each hand and -would not have stopped if Alila had not called out: - -"Where have you been the last few days? And where are you going? Father -will be home soon and he will wish to see you." - -"I am on my way to the master's house to sell these bird's nests and I -will stop here on my way back. I expect a good price for them. He told -me he would pay me well. Ah, but it was hard work getting them, my -little fellow! You never could have done it in the world." - -Alila looked at the hunter with envy, for he knew how dangerous his -work had been. Among many people in the East, no food is thought so -great a dainty as these edible birds' nests. What queer tastes they -have! At least it seems so to us. - -There is a certain kind of bird that makes its nest high up on the -sides of steep cliffs jutting out over the waters of the ocean. These -nests are like no others. The birds that build them swallow a certain -kind of glutinous weed growing on the coral rocks. They then cough it -up and use this material they have so oddly prepared in making their -nests. - -Whenever a man makes it his business to search for these nests, he -knows the danger full well. Slowly and painfully he must climb the -sides of the cliffs, often placing his feet where we should think there -was no foothold whatever. He clutches at a sharp point of rock here, -or a twig there; but if it is not as safe as he believed, woe unto him! -For down he falls into the raging waters below and is a lucky man if he -is not dashed to pieces on the sharp rocks. Again, he may grow faint -and dizzy when he has climbed only a part of the way, or he may lose -his hold from very weakness. - -The Chinese are as fond of these edible birds' nests as are the -Filipinos. Perhaps you have heard of the great Chinese viceroy, Li Hung -Chang, who came to visit us several years ago. He brought his own cooks -and a large supply of birds' nests and sharks' fins. - -Alila joined the hunter on his way to the planter's mansion. The boy -wished to have a chance to see the grand lady, the planter's wife, and -their little daughter, who plays so beautifully on the harp. - -They soon reached the house, which seemed very large beside Alila's -little cabin. It was two stories high. The lower part was of stone and -the upper half of wood. It would not have been safe to use stone above -the lower floor on account of the frequent earthquakes. - -The roof was thatched with cogon grass. When it was built the planter -said to himself: "I will not have an iron roof like many of the city -houses; it would be too hot. I like the grass thatching much better." - -Beautiful gardens where roses were always in bloom surrounded the -house. Bright-coloured birds flew about among the bushes, but they -had no songs for Alila and the hunter as they passed along. The broad -veranda was shaded by a clump of tall banana-trees, swaying to and fro -in the gentle breeze. How noble they looked, with their tufts of glossy -leaves at the very top, lapping over each other and shutting out the -sun's hot rays! - -As Alila glanced up to see if the fruit was ripening the hunter said: - -"Did you ever hear the stories told of the banana? Some say it is the -very fruit that tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, while others think -that she and Adam made their first clothing of banana leaves." - -"I wonder if that can be so," said the little boy, thoughtfully. "Any -way, I'm glad there is fresh fruit every month in the year; I like -bananas so much." - -They reached the house as he finished speaking. The planter and his -wife were sitting alone on the veranda. Alila was disappointed in not -seeing their little daughter. - -While the hunter was attending to his business with the planter, the -boy's bright eyes noted the lady's dress. - -"I must tell mother all about it," he said to himself. "She will want -to know. My, what a long train she wears! It is so thin and delicate -I think it must be woven of pineapple fibre. What beautiful bright -colours it has! - -"And how stiff her kerchief is! It stands up so high at the back of her -neck I should think it would feel very uncomfortable. Her chemisette is -very pretty, my mother would think. What wide sleeves! Still they are -short, so she can keep cool." - -But the jewels! Alila had never seen so many before. The lady fairly -sparkled, with her gold earrings and bracelets, set with precious -stones. Surely there was going to be a party at the big house, or she -would not be dressed so finely. - -Just as the boy was thinking this, the planter's wife turned her head -toward him and spoke. - -"Alila, is it not time to tap the cocoanut-trees? Tell your father -I want some tuba as soon as possible. You are now such a big boy, I -suppose you will be able to help him get it." - -The little fellow made a low bow and answered that his father had -spoken about it that very morning and had promised that he should help -him. Perhaps you remember that when Alila was christened there was a -good supply of tuba at the feast. Did you wonder what it could be? - -On the sugar farm there is a clump of cocoanut-trees on which no fruit -ever grows. Why is this? Because all the sap which would be used by -Mother Nature in making blossoms and changing these into cocoanuts is -used for another purpose. It is drawn from the tree at a certain time -of the year to make a drink much loved by the natives. - -Tapping the trees for tuba is dangerous work, but Alila, you know, -loves danger. He went home from the planter's mansion very happy, for -now he should have an errand there every day during the next few weeks. -For must he not bring the family a fresh bamboo of tuba each night and -morning? - - - - -CHAPTER VIII. - -TAPPING FOR TUBA. - - -ALILA was wide awake before sunrise of the next day. He did not lie on -his mat lazily watching to see if a lizard or newt should creep out of -a corner, as he often did on other mornings. It was only the day before -that he pulled a newt by its tail just to see if the tail would really -come off in his hand. It did, for a fact! and away Mr. Newt scuttled -without any tail. - -Wasn't it a little cruel and ungrateful in Alila, when he knew how much -the newts as well as the lizards do to let him sleep comfortably? They -destroy ants and spiders and other creeping things, so that Alila's -mother never kills them nor drives them away. - -Neither did Alila stop to play with his pet cat this morning--such an -odd cat, too, with a queer little twist in her tail like that of a pug -dog. Alila was dressed before his father waked. - -While waiting, he went out into the yard to sharpen his knife. But he -had no whetstone. There are more ways than one of doing things, we have -already discovered. The boy took a piece of wood and covered it with a -paste made of ashes and oil. Then he rubbed the blade of his knife back -and forth over this till the edge was sharp enough to split a hair with -ease. - -Next he got together some vessels of bamboo and two long bamboo rods. -He was just a little bit nervous, although it was not in his nature to -be easily excited. He said to himself: - -"Oh, dear, I hope I shall not have to wait much longer." - -At this very moment he looked up and there was his kind, quiet father -standing in the doorway. - -[Illustration: "HE WAS AS NIMBLE AS A SQUIRREL"] - -"All ready!" And the two started for the cocoanut grove not far away. - -As soon as they reached the place, Alila took out his sharp knife. -Work began at once, for notches must be cut in the tree, one above -another, in which to place his toes. As one notch was made, the boy -drew himself high enough to get a foothold in it; then, reaching up, he -cut the next one and drew himself up to that, and so on until he had -reached the top, fully sixty feet above the ground. A cocoanut-tree, as -you probably remember, has no branches whatever to give any help to a -person in climbing. - -And now Alila came down again. He did it so easily and gracefully, it -was a pleasure to watch him. As soon as he was within reach, his father -handed him vessels of bamboo, which the boy fastened to his waist -and again climbed the tree. One might almost say he was as nimble as -a squirrel, yet that does not express the long, graceful movements of -his body as he rose far from the ground. - -When he was once more at the top of the tree, he made deep cuts in the -trunk directly under the great tuft of leaves, and hung his bamboo -vessels so the sap could flow into them. - -Now for the same work in the next tree. Do you think he must go down -to the ground again and go through all the work he had in climbing the -first tree? Not at all. His father reached up to him two long bamboo -rods. He took the first one and stretched it across to the next tree. -This would serve as a bridge over which he could walk. The second one -was placed above the first and would make a good hand-rail. - -Alila did not think of the danger of a walk in mid-air on such a -slender support. His head was cool, his feet were firm, his body -light, and he passed from one tree to another in perfect safety. He was -happy as a king to be trusted by his father to take such a risk. - -Think of a fall from a height like that! Suppose for one instant that -the bamboo should give way under the boy's feet or failed to hold -in the tree-top! That would have ended our little Alila's life in a -moment, or at least made him a cripple for the rest of his days. - -The fact is, however, that the boy had no accident, and every day -afterward, as long as the sap continued to flow, he went out to the -cocoanut grove, collected the tuba, and carried a good supply of it to -the planter's mansion. - - - - -CHAPTER IX. - -FOREST AND STREAM. - - -THERE is another cocoanut grove on the farm, beside the one where Alila -gets the tuba. The fruit is allowed to ripen on these trees, and it is -the boy's duty to gather it. There is a new growth of cocoanuts three -times a year. - -Alila does not need to climb the trees for them unless he wishes. He -usually fastens a sickle-shaped knife to the end of a long pole. In -this way he can reach up to the tops of the tallest trees and cut off -the cocoanuts; when thud! thud! down they fall to the ground, safe and -sound. For the delicious pulp is not only shut up in the hard shell -that we know, but this also is enclosed in a still larger and thicker -covering. - -How could the natives of tropic lands get along without this valuable -tree? It has so many uses it would take a long time even to mention -them all. - -Its roots are good to cure Alila when he is seized by an attack of -fever during the wet season. His mother believes that his life has been -spared through the use of this medicine. Alila's father made his canoe -from the trunk of a cocoanut-tree; while much of the furniture in his -employer's mansion has been carved from its beautiful wood. The boy's -mother uses a comb made from the stalks of cocoanut leaves. The husks -which enclose the fruit are made into _coir_, out of which are made -ropes, brooms, brushes, and even bedding. - -When Alila was only five or six years old he learned to weave baskets -and mats from the leaves, and he knows how to thatch a roof with them -very neatly. - -What is so delicious on a hot day as a drink of fresh cocoanut milk! It -is never hurtful and quenches the thirst as well as the coldest water. -The oil obtained from the nuts is used by Alila's mother in her cooking. - -But she also needs it for another purpose. She is always in fear of an -earthquake, and feels safer to have a light burning in readiness all -night long. She keeps in the cabin a small vessel half-full of water. -Cocoanut oil is poured on the water and a wick made of a certain kind -of pith called _tinsin_ hangs down in the middle of this odd lamp. The -Chinese taught the Tagals the value of tinsin. There is scarcely to be -found a native hut where it is not used for lamp wicks. - -But you must be tired of hearing about cocoanuts and their uses, so we -will return to Alila and his strange adventures. One day not long ago -his mother said to him: - -"My child, I should like some fish for dinner. Will you go to the -river and get some?" - -Alila has great success in fishing. He started off at once on his -errand. He did not stop to get hook and line, as you would have done; -he knew another way to fish, different from any we have in our country. - -When he got to the river he walked along by its side till he found a -place where the water ran very deep. Then he took off his clothing, and -lay quietly down on the bank. His eyes were wide open and watchful, -though his body was so still. He soon saw some fish rise near the -surface of the water. Quick as a flash he jumped in and dived down, -down under where the fish were darting. Rising as suddenly as he had -dived, he came to the surface with a fish in each hand. - -He is such a nimble little fellow that he did this several times, and -hardly ever failed. It was not long before he had a fine string of -fish to carry home. As he walked back, he stopped to gather some green -bamboos of medium size, for he knew they would be needed in cooking the -dinner. - -While his mother was cleaning the fish, Alila made a fire and cut the -bamboos at every joint. They were changed at once into baking pans, -each one large enough to slip a fish inside, together with a little -water and some spices. The ends were stopped up, and the bamboos laid -in the fire. As soon as they began to burn, it was a sign that the fish -inside were cooked enough. - -What a good dinner it was! You would have thought so if you could have -tasted the rice steamed in the same way as the delicate fish and served -on plantain leaves. - -Alila has still another way of fishing which is not as hard work as -diving, though, after all, it is not much fun. He carries a bamboo -basket in which he has put a mixture containing a curious kind of -poison. He sets it floating on the water. When the fish come near it -the poison makes them stupid, and they rise and float motionless on the -surface, as though they were dead. Then it is an easy matter for Alila -to get them. - - - - -CHAPTER X. - -A SWARM OF LOCUSTS. - - -THE little brown boy has lived, as you know, on a sugar plantation, -where the cane ripens only once a year. You also remember that last -summer a hurricane destroyed the boy's home, and a new one had to be -built. The sugar crop barely escaped ruin, when, alas! another danger -came to it, more fearful even than the great wind. It was a storm of -locusts. - -Alila was working in the cane-fields with his loved buffalo one -morning, when, looking up suddenly, he saw something which frightened -him. It was a long distance away, far as his eyes could see, and it -appeared like a dark cloud near the earth. - -[Illustration: "SUCH A DIN AND COMMOTION YOU NEVER HEARD"] - -The boy was frightened, as I have said, but it was not for himself. -It was on account of the danger threatening the plantation; he knew -very well that what seemed like a cloud was composed of millions and -millions of locusts. Unless something were done at once, all the -sugar-cane would be ruined. For, if that army of insects, perfectly -harmless to animals, should settle down upon the canes, the leaves -would be entirely eaten in a few hours. - -Alila ran as fast as his legs could carry him from one part of the -plantation to another, and gave the alarm to the working people as he -passed along. - -It was wonderful how quickly men, women, and children armed themselves -to meet the coming enemy. All the bamboo clappers, cocoanut shells, tin -pans, and red flags that could be found were seized and put into use. - -Then such a din and commotion you never heard nor saw, even on -the glorious Fourth of July. Locusts are very sensitive to noise, so -between the beating of drums and clappers, the waving of the red flags, -and the smoke from fires of wet wood at the sides of the fields, the -greater part of the army passed on. The people breathed again, since -the danger was over for the present. - -When it was all over Alila was not too tired to play for awhile with a -few locusts he had caught in a net. Their bodies looked like those of -large grasshoppers, except that they were of a brownish colour. - -They would not sting or bite, and the boy kept his new pets as long as -they lived. That was only a few days, however, as a locust has a very -short life. It is said that food passes through its body as fast as it -is eaten, so it is not nourished, and soon dies for this reason. It -also has an enemy, a small worm that forms in its body and gradually -eats it up. - -The mother locust has a queer way of making a nest for her eggs. She -extends the end of her body till it is like an auger, and with this -she bores a deep hole in the earth. She chooses spots near fields of -ripening rice or sugar cane, so the young locusts, as they hatch out, -will be near a good supply of food; for at first they have no wings and -cannot go in search of it. - -After the visit of the locusts, Alila went carefully around the edges -of the fields with the other workmen. They wished to see if any signs -of young locusts could be found. But they found none and felt that the -crops were free from danger for this year, at least. But Alila's father -said to himself: - -"How many risks there are in working on a sugar plantation! I have been -here now many years. I never know whether the crop will be a failure -or not. I believe I will go somewhere else. Up on the side of the -mountain, not far from here, is a large hemp plantation; I will seek -work there. Besides, there is fine hunting near by and Alila can see -new sights." - -When he told his family, they were all pleased, for Tagals dearly love -a change and often move from place to place merely for the sake of -change. Alila was the most delighted of all. He said: - -"Now, father, I can hunt with you and go bat shooting in the deep -forests. You know I can sell their beautiful soft skins to travellers." - -Alila's grandmother and mother were pleased, too. They liked the idea -because the hemp is gathered throughout the year and can be sold from -time to time, whenever there is need of money. But when the women -thought of the bands of brigands who hide in the mountain passes, they -began to fear. - -Many were the stories they had heard of these robbers and their sudden -attacks in the night-time on people in lonely houses. - -"You need not worry," said Alila's father, "for these wild robbers -seldom harm poor people; and they never kill unless they are obliged to -do so. I believe they are not as terrible as they are often described." - - - - -CHAPTER XI. - -THE NEW HOME. - - -SO it came to pass that Alila went to a new home. It was not hard work -to get ready, for there was little to move. The old buffalo that had -grown up with his young master was able to carry on his broad back -everything owned by the entire family. He could easily have taken more, -too! - -The women rode on ponies and the men walked beside the buffalo. No one -seemed to feel sad, although it had been an easy, happy life on the -little farm and the sugar planter had always been kind. - -Their fellow workmen were Tagals like themselves; they would find many -Chinese labourers on the hemp plantation, at least they had been told -so. But they did not care for that. - -There are many Chinamen in the Philippines, and they agree very well -with their Tagal neighbours and the people of the many other tribes. -Alila has a cousin married to a Chinese merchant in Manila and some -time he is going to visit her. - -As they journeyed onward they passed a party of Americans. Alila's -mother called: - -"Come nearer to me, my child. Stay by my side." - -She had a fear of white faces of which she could not rid herself. -The Spaniards had been cruel to her people, she well knew. And now -that these others from far-away lands had taken the power from the -Spaniards, she felt that they, too, would be hard and unkind. - -Poor ignorant mother! She did not understand that it meant such -different things,--schools for _all_ children instead of a very few; -work for any one who desired it; better care for the sick in the -cities; fewer taxes for all. Yes, all these and many other good things -would be done by the Americans to make Alila and Alila's children live -more wisely and therefore more happily. - -When the sun was setting that night, the hemp plantation could be -plainly seen. It was a beautiful sight, those rows of small trees with -their large, glossy leaves, shut in by woods of a larger growth. - -The plant from which is made what is called Manila hemp belongs to the -same family as the banana and the plantain. The leaves all of them look -so much alike it would be hard for us to tell the difference. - -It did not take many days to get settled. The neighbours were very kind -and gave the family shelter and food until Alila and his father had -finished building a cabin. This time they made the roof as well as the -sides of the hut of split bamboo, and the boy's mother and grandmother -helped in preparing it. - -Alila had never before seen hemp gathered, and he had much to learn. -He was soon very quick in separating the fibres from the pulp and -spreading them out to dry before packing. - -The boy sometimes wonders what journeys the bales of hemp will take. -To what countries will they sail? To what uses will they be put? His -father has told him that nothing else in his island home is shipped in -such quantities as Manila hemp. It makes stout cordage and sail-cloth; -it is woven into mats, carpets, and hammocks; while the finest hemp is -made into delicate dress goods for the rich ladies of the island. - -Yes, people all over the world have heard of Manila hemp, and when he -is older, Alila says he will bear it company and seek strange sights -across the oceans. - -He had lived in his new home but a short time when he had an exciting -adventure. Not far from the farm there is a dense forest. One night -Alila's father said to his friends: - -"Let us go on a hunt for wild boars. There must be plenty of boars and -deer, too, in those woods." - -The other men were ready for a little sport. They had been hunting in -the forest many times before, and knew the best course to take. - -"May I go with you, too?" whispered Alila, who was listening at his -father's side. - -When all agreed that it would make no trouble to allow the boy to go -with them, since he was brave and strong, he was greatly pleased. They -would be gone several days. What new, strange creatures should he see? -What dangers should he meet? - - - - -CHAPTER XII. - -IN THE FOREST. - - -THE party started out early the next morning. They carried very little -food with them; it would only be in their way when hunting, and they -trusted Mother Nature would supply what they needed as they went along. -Two of the men had guns; the others carried bows and arrows. Every one -was also supplied with a sharp spear and knife. - -The first day was very quiet. Nothing was shot but a few birds and -bats. When night came they found themselves far from any stream; all -were thirsty and there was no water. What should they do? Ah! in plain -sight was a _liana_. It is called the "travellers' drink" because any -one, on breaking off a stalk, can obtain a cool draught. How refreshing -it was! - -A fire was quickly made and the birds cooked for supper. They all lay -down to sleep. But, alas! that was not an easy thing to get. They had -no sooner stretched themselves by the fire than they were attacked. By -wild animals, you think at once. By no means. It was a small enemy, -fierce for their blood, which darted out from the grass and fastened -upon their bodies. - -Multitudes of leeches have their home in the mountain forests of the -Philippines, and every native who travels there is armed with a small -rattan knife to cut them off as they seize upon him. - -Alila's party knew that sleep was out of the question for this night. -As fast as our little brown brother was able to cut off one of the -bloodthirsty creatures, another took its place, till at last the -daylight came and the hunters could go on their way. - -But what a wretched sight they were! Blood streamed from their arms and -legs, and they looked like the wounded survivors of a terrible battle. -When they came to a spring of water, they were glad enough to have a -chance to bathe. - -Alila can tell you that was the worst night he ever passed in his life, -yet he hardly spoke a word of complaint through the long hours, and -in the morning laughed gaily with his friends when they gazed at each -other's sorry-looking faces. - -Small creatures can make themselves as troublesome as big ones. Perhaps -you have already found this out when mosquitoes have found their way to -your bedside and waked you in the middle of the night. - -After a hasty breakfast, the hunters were ready for a tramp, and they -soon found the tracks of wild boars. It was not long till they had -killed three of them with little trouble. They were about to make a -fire and roast some of the flesh for dinner, when a pitiful cry was -heard. - -How it rang out through the forest! It sounded almost human. What could -it be? Alila's father jumped up and crept through the woods in the -direction of the sound. His boy followed close at his heels. They had -gone but a short distance when a strange sight met their eyes. High up -on the branch of a tree lay a huge boa-constrictor. He must have been a -hundred years old, he was so large. - -His eyes were fastened upon a poor little deer in the coil of his tail, -which he had stretched down to trap his prey as it walked along. Ah! -the deer's eyes close and the piteous cry stops as he is clasped more -and more tightly in the clutch of the boa. And now the serpent raises -him from the ground, and swings him against the trunk of the tree; he -is thrown with such force he is instantly killed. - -But what were Alila and his father doing all this time? They were too -late to save the deer, but the boa did not escape. As he was about -to descend the tree to feed upon his victim, his wicked eyes saw the -hunters for the first time. Out darted his forked tongue in anger, just -as two arrows entered his body and ended his life. The rest of the -party came up at this moment and helped cut away the skin of the boa. -It would be useful for making dagger sheaths. - -Now indeed they would have a grand feast, for they could add the flesh -of the deer and boa to what they had already obtained. - - - - -CHAPTER XIII. - -CROCODILES. - - -WHEN dinner was over, they began to look around their stopping-place. -They found they were close to a deep river. Should they swim across it, -or turn homeward? - -"You must not try to cross without a boat," said one of the men to -Alila's father. "Crocodiles make their home in these waters. It is -possible we may not see any from this shore, but at the same time, -if you should try to swim to the other side, you might be attacked -suddenly, and be unable to escape. I know one poor fellow who lost his -life in this very place. - -"Still, if you wish for more sport, I will tell you what to do. Let -us all watch on the shore here for signs of crocodiles. We are in no -hurry. Have your guns and arrows ready to help if one of the creatures -should appear. I will dive into the river and attack him with my spear." - -It was a daring thing to think of. As every one knew, there is only one -place in the animal's body that can be pierced. That is directly under -the fore legs. Even bullets will fly off from any other part of the -scaly covering as though they had struck against a stone wall. - -If the hunter venture to come close to such a monster, and his dagger -fail to pierce the vital spot, there is no help for him. The great jaws -will close upon him instantly, and he will never be seen again. - -But the quiet Tagals seem to love danger, and no one tried to -discourage the hunter. They walked quietly along the river's side for -two hours, at least; they were about to turn when Alila cried: - -"There he is, close to the bamboo thicket on the shore." - -As they looked toward the spot, the fearful head and jaws of a -crocodile could be seen reaching up out of the water. - -Ready! Down dived the hunter, spear in hand. The attack was sudden and -successful. The spear reached the one place it could enter, and stuck -fast. The diver did not stop a moment longer, but swam back to the -shore to his waiting friends. The surface of the river was instantly -streaked with blood as the crocodile plunged through the water in his -death agony. - -The men waited till the great body of the monster became still and -quiet. Then with the aid of rattan nooses they drew it up on the shore, -and with their sharp knives proceeded to strip away the skin. - -"It is a good medicine for rheumatism. I know it will cure the bad -pains from which my mother suffers," said Alila's father. - -"And I will take some of the flesh and dry it as a cure for asthma," -said another of the party. "I know a man who suffers very much from the -trouble. He will be glad to be able to breathe easily once more." - -It was now near night and too late to think of starting home. They must -camp out once more. Every one hoped to be free from the persistent -leeches this time. They made a fire and stretched themselves beside it. - - - - -CHAPTER XIV. - -TONDA'S STORY. - - -"TONDA, do tell us some of your adventures," begged Alila. "You have -travelled so far and seen such wonderful things! Father says you have -even been to the great city of Manila. I wonder what a city can be -like." - -Tonda had certainly seen more of the world than any one Alila knew, and -he was always proud and glad to show his knowledge. So, although he was -tired and sleepy from the excitement of the day, he began to tell of -his visit to Manila when a young man. - -"Oh, a city is indeed a wonderful place, Alila; I believe you would be -almost frightened, at first, at the queer noises you would hear. - -[Illustration: "'AROUND ONE PART OF THE CITY THERE IS A STRONG WALL'"] - -"What would you think of long, heavy cars rushing along through the -streets with no buffaloes to draw them and a single pony in their -place? These cars run along on tracks through streets in which round -stones are set in, side by side. - -"There are great buildings divided by walls into many different rooms. -Around one part of the city there is a strong wall which was built -long, long ago, I was told. Behind those walls the people used to fight -against their enemies and were safe. - -"There is a river running right through the city, and upon it many -kinds of boats sail at every hour of the day and night. While I was -there, the Chinese had a grand festival. Great ships like floating -palaces rode up and down the river. At night they were lighted up from -topmast to stern. Bands of music kept playing, and every morning the -Chinese who filled the vessels threw squares of coloured paper over -the sides and burned incense in honour of St. Nicholas, in whose memory -they held the festival. - -"Why was St. Nicholas honoured so? Because in far distant times he -saved the life of a Chinaman from the fury of a crocodile. - -"It happened in this way. The man was sailing on the river in a small -canoe, with no thought of danger. All at once, a crocodile appeared -close to the boat, capsized it, and with open jaws was ready to devour -the man. It was a fearful moment, but the Chinaman did not lose hope. -He lifted up his voice in prayer to St. Nicholas, and begged him to -save his life. The good saint appeared before him, and, striking the -crocodile with his wand, changed it instantly into a rock. - -"The man was saved, but you may be sure he did not forget the wonderful -help he had received. He went back to Manila, and with the help of -his friends built a chapel in honour of the saint. Every year since -then the Chinese have gathered in the city and remembered the day when -their countryman's life was saved. They hold one festival after another -during two whole weeks. The people say that the city is always a gay -sight at such times." - -By the time this story was finished, the company gathered around the -fire began to nod their heads. They were so tired from the day's hard -work that they could listen no longer. A minute afterward Alila was -sound asleep. He knew nothing more till the sunlight fell upon him the -next morning. - -On the way home two more boars and a deer were shot. A bamboo hurdle -was quickly made, and the store of flesh was placed on it and easily -carried on the shoulders of the men. - - - - -CHAPTER XV. - -STRANGE NEIGHBOURS. - - -YOU can imagine how glad Alila's mother was to see him back once more, -safe and sound. She kissed him tenderly in the odd fashion of her -people. When he had told her all his adventures, he said: - -"Oh, mother, I want to go again. I haven't seen half of the strange -things in those forests. And, besides, hunters have told me of queer -people who live high up in the mountains beyond us. They are very wild, -and have such strange customs. It is said that they lived in these -islands before our people came here, hundreds and hundreds of years -ago. They must have been driven up into the thick forests to save -themselves from being captured. - -"The men call them Negritos. They are very black, and do not look at -all like us. Their hair is a great ball of curls. They do not know much -more than animals." - -"Yes, my child, I have not only heard about these savages, I have seen -one of them," replied his mother. "Your father has been among them, and -will tell you about their queer ways of living. They have no homes, but -sleep at night under the trees. If you heard them talking, you would -think at first it was the chattering of monkeys. They have very few -words in their language. - -"When they plant their gardens, they do not plough them as we do. They -only scrape away the top of the earth, and then scatter their seed. -They do not even clear places in the forests." - -While she was telling Alila these things, his father was not there. As -soon as he got back from the hunt, he went off to look over the farm to -see if the hemp was growing well. When he returned from this work Alila -went up to him, and said: - -"Why is it, father, you have never told me about the Negritos? I never -even heard of them till I went on the hunt with you and your friends." - -"I knew how you like daring deeds, my boy, and felt you would be -anxious to go among these savages and see them for yourself. So I -waited till you should be older. Now you have shown how much you can -bear, I will take you into strange places, and you shall see things for -yourself. The Negritos are a cowardly race, yet they are dangerous; -they always use poisoned arrows, and, from their safe hiding-places in -the mountains, often succeed in killing any people who dare to come -near them." - -Then he told Alila how the Negrito children are taught to use their -bows and arrows when very young. They learn to shoot so well they can -hit the fish swimming in the water. They seldom fail to hit what they -aim at. - -These savages live mostly on roots and fruits. Still, they do know how -to make a fire and cook some of their game. But they have no dishes, -and the bird or animal to be eaten is thrown among the embers and -allowed to stay there till the outside is burned to a crisp. When any -one among them is very ill, they do not wait for him to die, but bury -him alive. - -One of the most laughable things Alila's father ever saw was a Negrito -wedding. The young bride pretended to run away from her future husband. -After he had caught her, they were carried up a bamboo ladder by their -friends, and sprinkled with water out of a cocoanut shell. Then they -came down and knelt on the ground, and an old man touched their heads -together. That made them man and wife. - -Alila was much interested, and begged his father to tell more stories -of the Negritos and other savage tribes living in the depths of the -island forests. - -He listened to tales of the Igorrotes, who live in huts like beehives -and creep into them like insects. They are people whom the white men -have tried again and again to conquer and to teach of God, but they -prefer to go naked and lead their own savage life. - -And then his father described to him some of the sights he had seen. He -told him of a wonderful cave right there in his own island of Luzon. It -was equal in beauty to the cave Aladdin himself had entered. - -Wonderful pendants of crystallised lime reached down from the lofty -roof, shining like diamonds. There were pillars of the snowy lime -a hundred feet in height, glittering in dazzling beauty. There were -spacious halls leading one from another in this underground palace. It -was a dangerous journey into this wonderful cave, but sometime Alila -must go there, his father said. - -He should visit the volcano island, too,--an island in the middle of a -lake, from which terrible floods of lava and boiling water have poured -forth many times. What sorrow and destruction it has caused! - -A long, long time ago, the boy's father cannot tell how many years have -passed, there was a terrible eruption. It lasted for many days. There -were quakings of the earth and horrible sounds under ground. The air -was filled with darkness save for flashes of lightning. Great columns -of mud and sand arose from out the lake. Torrents of lava poured over -the sides of the volcano and destroyed whole villages on the shores of -the lake. - -Ah! it was a fearful time for the people, and few of those who were -there lived to tell the story to their children. - -Alila's eyes grew larger as he listened to the wonders of the world -around him. Yes, he would travel and see these things for himself. He -was growing impatient. He could not wait much longer, for now he was -nearly a man grown. - -Sometime, let us hope, we shall meet our little Alila. We will ask him -what he himself has learned that no one else can tell us. - - - - -CHAPTER XVI. - -THE STOUT-HEARTED SAILOR. - - -ALTHOUGH Alila is anxious to travel and learn more of this great round -world, yet his own people seldom leave their island home. Strange to -say, however, white travellers from distant lands began to visit these -shores hundreds of years ago. - -The first one to do this was a brave admiral named Ferdinand Magellan. -What wonderful adventures filled the life of this man! It seems almost -like a fairy tale. - -After Columbus made his famous voyages across the Atlantic and -discovered America, Magellan, who lived in Portugal, was much excited -over the news. The world must certainly be round, he thought, and he -was no longer satisfied to explore the waters near his own home. He, -too, wished to find new and distant lands; but this was not enough. He -felt sure he could discover a way to the countries of the East, rich in -silks, spices, and precious gems, by sailing west. - -The King of Portugal was a powerful ruler and anxious for new -possessions, yet he did not encourage Magellan. Instead of this, he was -ordered to go back to Africa and keep on fighting against the Moors, -for he had already won many victories there. The king was even stern to -him for leaving the war in Africa. Why had he returned to Portugal to -ask for other work than what had been given him? - -It was a sad disappointment, and Magellan turned away from the king's -presence with a bitter heart. It was almost impossible for him to keep -from bursting into tears, though he was a brave, strong man. Just as -he was leaving the palace, an old friend stopped him and whispered: - -"Why do you not go to the King of Spain and ask his help? He is young, -to be sure, but he will be glad to get the services of a brave man from -any country, for he is anxious to gain new lands and greater power." - -Magellan's first thought was, "I cannot leave the service of my own -country for that of another." But afterward he said to himself, "No, I -am not right in working for one king when I can do more for the world -in serving another. I feel that I shall do much yet. And I am willing -to dare great risks, and give my life even, for the sake of what is not -yet known." - -He went to Spain and offered his services to King Charles. You will be -pleased to know that this king was the grandson of the very Isabella -who so nobly helped Columbus. The young king was filled with the -spirit of his grandmother. He said to Magellan: - -"Your plan is good; you are daring, yet cautious; you shall have ships -and supplies. So be of good courage and prepare for your voyage." - -Magellan's heart bounded with joy. He promised the king that wherever -he should land in places not discovered before, there he would plant -the flag of Spain. He also vowed that he would do his best to teach the -Christian religion to the heathen and that a goodly company of priests -should go with him to baptise all who were willing. - -At last the great day came when Magellan set sail. Shortly before, he -was married to one whom he had long loved and whom, alas! he should -never see again after leaving the shores of Spain. He and his fair -young wife had watched the building and repairing of the ships which -were to sail away with him so soon. With her at his side, he had -studied the rude maps of the Atlantic Ocean made by earlier voyagers, -and the instruments which should aid him in managing the fleet. - -The great moment arrived at last. Amidst the shouts of the people, the -peals of the bells, and the roaring of the cannon, the anchors were -lifted and the fleet sailed into the West. - -Days passed quietly by. The weather was good, and Magellan, now Admiral -Magellan, watched constantly for land. Many wonderful things were seen -by the sailors as they crossed the broad Atlantic. There were shoals of -flying-fish, strange and interesting birds, besides immense sharks that -followed the ships for days at a time. - -After a voyage of over two months, the coast of South America came -in sight. The fleet stopped at different places; at one time finding -themselves among friendly savages, at another among a race of -unfriendly giants. Each time the ships were headed farther and farther -south. - -At this time Magellan had other troubles besides directing the fleet. -You remember that he was a Portuguese, although he was sailing under -the King of Spain. So it happened that while some of the sailors were -from Magellan's country, most of them were Spaniards. These latter were -jealous of their leader because he belonged to a different nation from -themselves. Some of them talked secretly together and made a plan to -imprison him and take possession of the ships. - -But Magellan learned of their wicked plot in time to defeat them, and -he punished them as they deserved. Only a cool and daring man could -have succeeded in defeating so many strong enemies. But he did succeed, -and the ships sailed onward as though nothing had happened. - -It grew colder and colder. A violent storm arose and the ships were -tossed about like leaves in the wind. But Magellan was without fear and -kept his men filled with courage. At length he reached a narrow passage -leading to the west. He said to his captains: - -"I believe we have come to the end of this continent. If we can make -our way through this strait we shall look upon the new ocean." - -And the brave explorer sailed safely through the dangerous strait now -named for him. The storm passed away, and one bright, clear morning -Magellan looked for the first time upon a new and vast extent of water. -It was the dreamed-of ocean. It looked so calm and peaceful that he -said, "I will call it 'Pacific,' for I have never seen the like before." - -Weeks were spent upon these waters. They were so quiet that for days at -a time the ships could not advance. There was hardly a breath of wind. - -And now it was discovered that the supplies were getting low. The -sailors thought of home so far away, of friends they might never see -again; they pictured death by starvation here in the midst of these -beautiful waters. The food was served out in smaller and smaller -portions to the unhappy men. At last they were told there was nothing -left to satisfy their hunger save the rats which infested the ships and -some ox-hides which had been used to protect the rigging. - -Think for a moment of the condition of Magellan and those with him. -They were out of sight of land in the midst of an unknown ocean. Some -were already dying of thirst; others were too sick and weak to help in -the care of the ship. Do you wonder that the sailors felt bitter at the -one who had brought them here and was the cause of their suffering? But -Magellan did not give up courage, even now. He ordered the hides to be -softened in the sea water and then boiled. For some days longer the -crews managed to live on with this for food. - -One morning, when hope was nearly gone, a fresh breeze from the east -filled the sails of the ships, and in a few hours Magellan saw land in -the distance. The men's hearts beat hard for joy at the welcome sight. -They soon reached a small island where ripe fruits were abundant, and -where they could provide fresh supplies for the ships. - -But they did not stay many days, for Magellan was not even now ready -to give up his search for the famous lands of the East. He felt that, -as the world was round, he must surely be near them by this time. So -once more the ships set sail, and soon reached the shores of one of -the Philippines, but a short distance from Alila's home. It looked so -rich and beautiful that the ships anchored once more, and the admiral -ordered the sick men to be taken on shore. Large tents were set up, -and the sufferers were nursed back to health and strength. There was -an abundance of good pure water and fresh food. All were soon well and -strong. - -There were no people living on this island, but two days after he -arrived Magellan saw some canoes out upon the water. They were coming -swiftly toward the camp. They were filled with natives of another -island near by, who had seen the ships of the strangers; they were -curious to look upon the white men who were living near them. - -These people of Alila's race had soft yellow skins and beautiful white -teeth. They wore no clothing except aprons made of bark. They danced -around the great admiral as he stood on the shore dressed in his most -elegant garments, and laughed and shouted. They wished him to see -they were friendly. They offered fresh fish and palm wine, cocoanuts -and figs, while Magellan made them wildly happy by giving them -looking-glasses and bells, ivory toys and brass trinkets. As he found -them honest and peaceful, he allowed them to go on board his ships. -He ordered his men to fire the cannon to amuse them, but the noise -frightened them so much that some of them jumped into the water and -came near drowning. - -The chief of these people came to see the Spaniards. His face was -painted, and he wore heavy gold earrings and bracelets. He was kind -and pleasant. He brought a boat-load of fruit and, best of all, some -chickens. - -Magellan learned from these people that he was near still richer and -larger islands. After a few days he started out once more. He passed -island after island, sometimes landing on their shores, sometimes -sailing slowly along, drawing a map of these new and wonderful places. - -At the island of Cebu, Magellan made friends with the king, who was -baptised by the priests, and pretended to become a Christian. A large -cross bearing a wooden crown was set up on the top of a high hill near -the shore. It was a token to all travellers who should come this way -that this land now belonged to the King of Spain. - -While the white visitors were staying here, the King of Cebu did all he -could to entertain them. He seemed anxious to show how friendly he felt -toward them. The Spanish sailors were much interested in the strange -customs and festivals of the brown people. They noticed that the food -was only half cooked and then heavily salted. This made the eaters very -thirsty, and quite ready to drink quantities of palm wine afterward. -They sucked this through long reeds of bamboo. They were always glad to -have the sailors share their feasts and entertainments. - -Just as the fleet was about to set sail again, something happened to -change Magellan's plans. The King of Cebu was in trouble. The people -of another island over whom he was also the ruler were coming to make -war upon him. Could the brave admiral refuse help, when the king had -treated him so kindly? Surely not. He said to the king: - -"Let me go against these rebels and make peace for you. I have cannons -which I will use, and other weapons of war such as they have never seen -before. They will be easily terrified, and quickly submit to your rule." - -So it was that Magellan and sixty of his followers sailed against -the enemy. But when they arrived at the island they found a large -army ready to meet them. The warriors carried sharp spears, bows, and -poisoned arrows, and each man was protected by a wooden shield. They -stood upon the side of a hill. As Magellan and his men landed and -advanced toward them, they rushed down upon the Spaniards with fury, -surrounding them on all sides. - -The great leader was calm and brave as usual, but there was little -hope for success. In another hour he had fallen, a noble victim to his -savage foes. Many of his followers fell by his side; the rest managed -to escape to the ships and sail back to Cebu to tell the sad news to -the king. - -Thus ended the life of the noble Magellan, the first white man to cross -the broad waters of the Pacific, the first one to show others it was -indeed possible to sail around the world. - -He was unlike many who lived in those old days,--for he did not care -for gold or great possessions. He only wished to know more of this -wonderful world, and to help others to greater wisdom. He gave his life -for one whom he thought had need of help. - -How did the King of Cebu act when he learned of the leader's death? He -turned against those of his followers who were left, and they were -obliged to depart in haste. - -They made still other discoveries of great value. At length, sailing -around the continent of Africa, they returned to Spain to tell of the -brave deeds of their dead leader, the great admiral and navigator, and -their own strange adventures. - -They were the first men to sail around the world. - - -THE END. - - - - -THE LITTLE COLONEL BOOKS - -(Trade Mark) - -_By ANNIE FELLOWS JOHNSTON_ - - _Each 1 vol., large 12mo, cloth, illustrated, per vol._ $1.50 - - - =THE LITTLE COLONEL STORIES= - (Trade Mark) - -Being three "Little Colonel" stories in the Cosy Corner Series, "The -Little Colonel," "Two Little Knights of Kentucky," and "The Giant -Scissors," put into a single volume. - - =THE LITTLE COLONEL'S HOUSE PARTY= - (Trade Mark) - - =THE LITTLE COLONEL'S HOLIDAYS= - (Trade Mark) - - =THE LITTLE COLONEL'S HERO= - (Trade Mark) - - =THE LITTLE COLONEL AT BOARDING SCHOOL= - (Trade Mark) - - =THE LITTLE COLONEL IN ARIZONA= - (Trade Mark) - - =THE LITTLE COLONEL'S CHRISTMAS VACATION= - (Trade Mark) - - =THE LITTLE COLONEL, MAID OF HONOUR= - (Trade Mark) - - =THE LITTLE COLONEL'S KNIGHT COMES RIDING= - (Trade Mark) - - =MARY WARE: THE LITTLE COLONEL'S CHUM= - (Trade Mark) - - _These ten volumes, boxed as a ten-volume set_ $15.00 - - - =THE LITTLE COLONEL= - (Trade Mark) - - =TWO LITTLE KNIGHTS OF KENTUCKY= - - =THE GIANT SCISSORS= - - =BIG BROTHER= - - -Special Holiday Editions - - Each one volume, cloth decorative, small quarto, $1.25 - -New plates, handsomely illustrated with eight full-page drawings in -color, and many marginal sketches. - - -=IN THE DESERT OF WAITING:= THE LEGEND OF CAMELBACK MOUNTAIN. - - -=THE THREE WEAVERS:= A FAIRY TALE FOR FATHERS AND MOTHERS AS WELL AS -FOR THEIR DAUGHTERS. - - -=KEEPING TRYST= - - -=THE LEGEND OF THE BLEEDING HEART= - - -=THE RESCUE OF PRINCESS WINSOME:= A FAIRY PLAY FOR OLD AND YOUNG. - - -=THE JESTER'S SWORD= - - - Each one volume, tall 16mo, cloth decorative $0.50 - Paper boards .35 - -There has been a constant demand for publication in separate form of -these six stories, which were originally included in six of the "Little -Colonel" books. - - -=JOEL: A BOY OF GALILEE.= By ANNIE FELLOWS JOHNSTON.
