PAGE FOUR ‘It’s You’ ‘T SEEMED to me that Christine was vastly relieved to find me working out a set of problems that ‘were my own, not hers, It had been an astonishment to me, though none to her, that James Clyde had written a new will, this one with- out my help. Time and tide had changed a lot of things; Mantusen was broke: and Rentongen was exalted, an James Clyde was no longer a gun- runner; and as I read his will 1 » Warned that I was Rajah Thorne of Balingong. I was trying to esti- mate what this meant. Once I would have been sorry to learn that it meant anything at all; but now, as 1 thought of my Dyaks who had fought for me in the Tomarrup, this was not so. For they had changed me in that black river. In some part, their successes would always be my successes, ard their failures my failures; i would never be able tc think of thern as monkeys again How they had fought! Like Malays, blind to the odds or fear of death. I could never forget what had happened, on a day when I had been too fever-blind to see it, when a hand- ful of fanatic, deluded parangmen had carried their White Tuan to an unbelievable victory. I wanted to talk to Christine about this, to tell her that I could no longer say to hell with the brown, men; but she slept and slept. Only once, for a little while, she awoke to talk for a short in- terval. She said, “If only 1 could forget it! All of it. All of it except some things: that were ery fine in you, and in James Clyde. But the ter- rible destroying of lives—and all wasted! All wasted, every one...” “Not one. Not a single one!” I ‘was not just seeking a way to ease her mind, this time; 1 believed it, every word. “From now on the whole struggle will be different than we thought. We’ll have to tht warily, and for a long time, with weapons we don’t even know | g about yet, But I'm not going to quit my Dyaks.” “Your Dyaks?” Feber by. pure meng ih chen planning or credit, I happen Bie one of the weapons. There's @ myth now about a Tuan Darah. It’s a nam. they made themselves, and it symbolizes nothing eine what they themselves did. With- out intelligent direction, or even any direction, for 1 was in a fever dream about it—in a fever dream. But they will answer that rame, and rise to id they rise know- Kama: follow that name. so it they fight crazily, without oe We can raise Sumantang ith that name! I know that as well as if it were truly my own.” “Paul,” Christine said, “I think bagi have given you a great gift, in that.” Tied To Balingong FELT thick-tongued, incoherent. It came to me that I had seemed te be boasting, when | knew I had I said, “I can’t think of this a gift. I think it still belongs to them. It's only that I’m respon- sible to them now.” looked at me for a lon; And then at last she smil ‘went to sleep again. I went on with what | was try- ing to do. We lost sight of the Lin- oe far ahead. We sighted her again, far behind. She passed us. And the days ran on. As owner of al] that had been Clyde’s, I had to find out what his many debtors were good . them might be some of in- e, who would help me in what I must do. I had to find out. Lhad to find out who had sympa- thized with and aided Anthony Forrester; if any of them were strong and secure, I must try to get ir help, I had to organize Possibilities of Balingong as I saw them, in a form which I could resent to such men as van der ‘And Most certainly 1 had to go; to Saremba. Where was Man-| tusen? E.doubted that he was still alive. How official, as representing Saremba, was Rentongen? There time. —and naa to be a showdown, that was sure. Who had test voice in the British Asiatic squadron? What warships could the Nether- lands Trai command? IL had to have facts like these be- fore I could even decide in what order I must try the many possible moves that were open to me. My assets were the Linkang, and what debts to her might be col- lected; and a bit of parchment drumhead, which declared that 1 —by Clyde’s assignment — was i = of Balingong. could not yet now how much must happen before the fact would fit the name. Only the ob- ject of my labor stood out clear and clean—some day I would free my Dyaks, if I lived. Once more 1 was tied to Balingong—and this time I knew that I was glad. Only — somehow I could not make the dream live. I believed in it, saw its splendid of ibaa some part of me was inseparab! le | from it. But in my weariness—and | I was truly tired—none of it would quite come alive. And this both- ered me for many days. Then one hot, becalmed morn- ing I found out what the trouble was. Christine was awake again, combing her lovely soft hair with the help of a little mirror which hung upon the stanchion where once I had seen a mass of orchids sway. I had been talking a good deal, racing over pene asking her for names. For her judgment I truly valued.
