EMPIRE FOR AL SYNOPSIS: Our love for «@ young English girl hes kept my uacle, James Clyde, and myself (Paul Thorne) in tropical Balin- gong through a Dyak revolt end Malay defeat. Christine Forres- ter, visioning a great empire here, has made Clyde rajah. Ren- tongen, the sulten’s Malay repre- sentative, promises trouble. One tribal rebellion is put down but others threaten.. And we are faced with famine. Meanwhile, Christine and Clyde grow closer together. Tight.

One day he toppled over in the Capes where he sat. With my help ie was able to walk inside, but once.out of sight of the natives he lapsed utterly. I carried him to his bed; and Balingong never saw him on his feet again. Christine could delay no more. It was decided that the Avon should sail at once for Singapore; thence presently to proceed to From Singapore Chris- tine would send us fresh medical stores, and certain other things we needed, such as coffee and to- bacco. Possibly the Avon would make this trip.

On the evening of the same day in which Robert For- Tester had collapsed, we packed/* the Forresters into a couple of shelter-rigged and put off down the river in a driving rain. For two months I had been urging Christine to leave, with . pleading with her. From ‘that soon the Avon sail. But when the thing actually happened, it fell on me so abruptly that it was like the blow of a parang. It was very difficult for me to live near her without making love to her. And I could not make love to her. Even if I had not been convinced that she was more than half in love with James Clyde, the fact re- mained tha: I was going to be stuck in this jungle for a long time, and that there was no place for her here. Every white colony in the tropie Orien. has its little’ graveyard thickly set with the headstone markers of European women and children who should never have come into that part of the world at all.

Now that was a very foolish thing for Doc to bet but since it was his idea, Mr. Strunk very gladly took ad- vantage of same. The first hole was taken by Eddie and from then on Doc was a pack horse and not a golfer. But Doc was game and to prove that ‘it didn’t mnake? any differetice; he had a’$3 ‘which was three Strokes better than the than’ Mr. Early Séttler’’ Salas ‘and 84 strokes.
