SYNOPSIS
CHAPTER I—Karen Waterson, convinced
by her lawyer. John Colt, that she has a
claim to the island estate and fortune of
her grandfather. Garrett Waterson, arrives
in Honolulu to attempt to gain control of the
property. Here she meets Richard Wayne,
or Tonga Dick, as he is known throughout
the South Pacific. He is a member of the
Wayne family that has been in control of
her grandfather's island. Alakoa, since the
old man's disappearance. Although Tonga
Dick knows who she is. Karen attempts to
conceal her identity from him. Dick offers
to take her sailing and she accepts.
CHAPTER II—Dick goes to the home of
his half-brothers. Ernest and Willard, for a
conference regarding their interest in Ala
koa. In the course of their discussion it is
revealed that the Wayne family obtained
the island for a small sum and under the
direction of the boys’ uncle. James Wayne,
it has been developed to where it has as
sets of around three million dollars. The
Waynes are worried that Karen may have
a good claim to the Island.
CHAPTER III—Next day as Dick takes
Karen sailing she learns that he knows who
she is and that he is taking her to Alakoa.
She wants to go back to Honolulu but he
refuses to take her.
CHAPTER IV—Although she is thrilled
by the sight of the deep water island, Ala
koa, Karen is afraid of what awaits her
here. Dick finds that his uncle. James
Wayne, is very ill. When Dick sees him,
James Wayne is upset over the pending
suit for the island and tells Dick he will
under no circumstances come to a settle
ment
CHAPTER V—Dick tries to get Karen to
reach a compromise for settling the status
of Alakoa, but she will have none of it and
tells him to discuss the matter with John
Colt, her lawyer. She also tells him that
a native house-girl, Lilua, is romantically
interested in him. He laughs this off.
CHAPTER VI—That night during a storm,
James Wayne is found dead at his desk.
Dick realizes that he has died from over
work but believes some sort of shock must
have been the immediate cause. He be
lieves Karen was with his uncle at the time
of his death. Dick now decides to take
Karen back to Honolulu.
Now go on with the story.
Dick Wayne emptied his glass,
snapped it down upon the table, and
pushed back his chair. “I’ll see you
in a couple of days,’’ he said to Kar
en, “on Alakoa.’’
That surprised an answer out of
her. “Alakoa? We're not coming to
Alakoa.”
“Oh, yes, you are. Or at least he
is. He’ll probably want to bring you
u

Colt smoothly, “that you are I ing.”
along.” He turned to John Colt. “The
offers I made, I made on my own
hook,” he said. “They are now with
drawn. But I’ll tell you why I made
them—it may interest you very
much.”
“Not particularly,” John Colt
drawled. “You have a lost case,
Wayne.”
“I’m going to kill your case,”
Dick said tonelessly. “No, I’m go
ing to do worse to you than that—
I’m going to give my brothers the
means with which to kill your case.
To do that will cost me a great deal,
in some very obscure ways. It will,
in fact, cost me more than my
share of Alakoa is worth. That is
why I offered to settle with you.
For Miss Waterson’s sake, but prin
cipally for my own, I’m sorry that
you refused. But you’re finished,
Colt—through—washed up—done.”
“I get what you mean,” John Colt
smiled.
“If you think a. little further,”
Tonga Dick said, “you’ll see even
more clearly what I mean. Your
case has one hole in it. Ask your
self what that hole is.”
Karen Waterson, watching John
Colt’s face, saw a curious thing hap
pen then. The faint, tired smile on
Colt’s face lingered there still, but
after a moment Karen saw that it
was only the form of it that re
mained. Colt’s eyes were fixed hard
on Tonga Dick, and Karen thought
she had never seen anything like the
intensity of that unwinking stare. If
ever a man tried to look into an
other man’s mind and take it apart,
Colt was trying it now.
Dick Wayne was filling his pipe.
The very fact that he was smoking
a pipe at all at a tea dansant made
him look more at ease thereby, as
if he alone, of all the people on that
broad lanai, was completely at
home.
“You're thinking of exactly the
game thine I am. John,” Dick as­
sured him’softly.
Once more the eyes of the two
men met and held.
"I imagine, Wayne,” said John
Colt smoothly, “that you are lying.”
Steadily, unhurried, controlled—
there was nothing in John Colt’s
voice to indicate that he knew what
it was to doubt. Yet, somehow,
Karen knew with utter certainty that
Colt was shaken—more deeply shak
en perhaps than he would have ad
mitted even to himself and when
Karen saw that, she was oppressed
by a gray conviction that John Colt,
gambling for Alakoa, in her behalf,
had irrevocably lost.
It was late in the evening when
Dick dropped anchor in Alakoa’s
little bay, and immediately was
driven up to the old house high in
the gorges.
His brothers, as he might have
expected, had already retired. It
was surprising in how many super
ficial ways they imitated the virtues
of James Wayne—without ever
seeming to accomplish anything
thereby. Dick did not cause them to
be roused, at once. Instead he sent
for Charles Wong, and with the as
sistance of the efficient Chinese set
about a brief survey of the condition
of Alakoa’s books.
A careful audit would have been
necessary in order to check through,
with any accuracy, that great array
of his uncle’s books which recorded
the financial transactions of Alakoa.
Dick knew what he was looking for,
however he steamed rapidly
through such of the summaries as
interested him.
The story that those books told
should have pleased anybody, but it
did not please Dick Wayne. He was
hunting for something else, the ex
istence of which he only suspected,
and to which he was perfectly cer
tain his brothers had no clue at all.
When he had hunted a long time
without result it became apparent
to him that Charles Wong, under
guise of assistance, was in subtle
ways managing to confuse his
search, and bring it to nothing. As
this became definitely evident Dick
Wayne went back and searched
again, and this time found what he
sought. It was an inconspicuous
item for the year 1930, easily
brushed over, and obscure in mean
ing when found. It consisted of noth
ing more than an entry, under mis
cellaneous operating expense: “Old
debts, $25,000.”
The entry was posted where it did
not belong—a practice untypical of
either James Wayne or Charles
Wong, and Dick turned sharply upon
the Chinese.
“What debt was this?”
“I don’t know, sir.”
“You posted this entry?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Well, did you pay out this mon
ey?”
“No, sir Mr. Wayne always han
dled that item himself.”
“Always? What do you mean by
that?”
Wong fell silent but now Dick
Wayne knew where to look for what
he wanted. Hurriedly he checked
back through the books for previous
years. Every year for seventeen
years that same vague item was to
be found, sometimes small, some
times enormous, according to the
way the year had gone. Over that
period of seventeen years almost
$200,000 stood against that single
vague phrase—“Old Debts.” A curi
ous thing in a way for, as far as
Dick’s perfunctory survey of the rec
ords could make out, there had nev
er been any old debts at all, other
than those meticulously funded and
otherwise disposed.
For the space of a minute Tonga
Dick stared hard at Charles Wong
and was able to convince himself
that the Chinese knew no more than
he did—and perhaps considerably
less.
Dick dismissed Wong and planted
himself at his uncle’s desk. He or
dered coffee, and while Tsura was
getting it for him he sat for a time
thinking hard, his eyes covered by
his hands. By the time his coffee ap
peared he had made up his mind.
“Bring my brothers here,” he told
the Japanese girl.
Tsura looked at him in a startled
way. His brothers were his elders,
and senior to him in the control of
Alakoa but he had commanded that
they appear in the same curt tone
that he had ordered coffee.
“Yes, Mister Dick.” She whisked
out of the room. Perhaps the Japa
nese girl was a little afraid of the
room itself, since the death of James
Wayne judging it to be an appropri
ate hangout for devils.
Dick was finishing a second cup of
coffee before his brothers came.
“Good of you to show up,” Ernest
Wayne said sardonically.
“I understand,” said Willard
Wayne, “that through your generous
courtesy, Miss Waterson has been a
house guest here—in fact slept here
the night Uncle Jim died.”
“True,” Tonga Dick agreed.
“Tsura, bring two more coffee
cups.”
“We don’t want any coffee,” Er
nest said for them both.
“Bring them anyway. Sit down,
you two.”
Willard, who had started to lower
himself into a chair, hesitated in
some annoyance, but gave in. Some
where, early in their childhood,
there must have been a time when
the two elder brothers had domi
nated Dick by main force of age and
size and although Dick could not
even remember that time, Ernest
and Willard had never been able to
accustom themselves to the change
in their relationship. He would al
ways seem to them an unjustifiable
^bel, scandalous in manner, and
wrong-headed in his pursuits.
Ernest, who was shivering a lit
tle, maintained his self assertion by
remaining on his feet. “I would cer
tainly like to know,” he said with
asperity, “what your purpose was in
bringing that—that woman here.”
“No purpose at all,” Dick grum
bled.
They looked at each other mean
ingfully, and Dick noticed again the
extreme nervous irritability which
he had seen in them whenever they
had met since tua return to Hawaii.
That nervousness looked compatible
enough in the tall, thin Ernest, who
never seemed to feel entirely well
but it was incongruous in the thick
set Willard Wayne, with his smooth,
firmly padded cheeks and his slow
moving eyes for this nervousness
was that of men haunted by an in
escapable fear.
“We understand that you took it
upon yourself to confer with John
Colt this afternoon,” Ernest said.
“I see the wireless telephone is do
ing its work.”
“We naturally keep in touch with
those who are handling our interests
in Honolulu,” Ernest admitted iras
cibly. “We would like to know, if it
isn't asking too much, just why you
think you can take it on yourself—”
“I must say, Dick,” Willard put
in, “it seems to me that you are be
having in an extremely eccentric
way.”
“Didn't I always?”
“You certainly always did. I don’t
understand you, Dick. But this is
no time for your foolishness we are
up against an extremely serious
thing, and your foolishness isn’t
helping it. It would have been a good
deal better if you had stayed in the
South Seas.”
“You’re wrong there,” Dick told
him.
“I think not. In any case, I would
say that you’re hardly in a position
to judge.”
“Oh, yes, I am.”
Ernest and Willard looked at each
other again for a long moment. They
didn’t know how to handle Dick
they never had. Across his coffee
cup Tonga Dick stared out beyond
the casements at the vaguely moon
radiant mists which were beginning
to well up out of the gorges.
“The South Pacific is a wonderful
ocean,” he said absent-mindedly. “A
lot of things are to be learned there.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some of
them might prove useful Here.”
He knew’ now that he had enough
dynamite in his hands to blow their
whole situation apart, and he had
decided that he was willing to ac
cept the cost to himself of using it.
But there was something else he
wanted to find out first. There was
a shadow of wicked mischief in his
mood now as he set out to prod it out
of them.
“You see,” he said, “as this con
test for Alakoa sifts down, all the
original aspects of the case are go
ing to have to be investigated with
the utmost thoroughness—and made
public. You understand that, I sup
pose?”
Willard Wayne said with an un
necessary intensity, “Just what do
you mean by that?”
“I mean that it is very likely—
even inevitable—that a lot of things
are going to be brought to light that
nobody’s thought about for a long
time. Isn’t that so?”
“Don’t know what you’re driving
at,” Ernest mumbled.
“How well, for instance,” Dick
Wayne asked them, “do you think
that you knew James Wayne?”
“We’ve w’orked with him all our
lives,” Willard said impatiently.
“And yet, did it ever occur to you
he might know some things you nev
er suspected at all?”
“Nonsense!”
“For example,” Dick went on, his
voice lazy, “take the exact circum
stances under which old Garrett
Waterson left here—just at the time
the Waynes bought this island.”
“That has nothing to do with it,”
Ernest declared. “The entire trans
action wras closed before Garrett
Waterson—disappeared.”
“This disappearance,” Dick prod
ded them “the tradition has been
that he set sail southwest, in his
own schooner, and was never seen
again—wasn’t that it?”
“Well? Can we be expected to
account for—”
“Didn’t you happen to know,”
Dick Wayne asked them, “that when
Garrett Waterson sailed, our father
was with him?”
They were not looking at him
now but their eyes were fixed upon
each other, and an unspoken ques
tion passed between them.
Tonga Dick leaned forward, his
face hardening. “The old rumor is
that Garrett Waterson must have
been lost at sea,” he bore down on
them. “And yet—and yet, our fa
ther came back—”
Dick saw Willard Wayne’s heavy
neck redden the color rose and rose
until Willard’s eyes, no longer slow
and mild, stared bleakly out of a
purple congestion. Ernest, howev
er, turned a sickly green, and be
hind his glasses his eyes could not
be seen.
Dick’s own eyes turned ugly. “So
you did know that?” he said.
“You’ve known it for a long time,
haven’t you?”
“Stop,” said Willard Wayne thick
ly. “You don’t know what you’re
saying!”
“I take it,” Dick said, “that I
was not supposed to know about that
little circumstance.”
Willard’s voice rose. “I object to
your tone,” he blustered. “I object
to the whole line you’ve taken. It
isn’t up to us to go raking through
the dead ashes of the past!”
‘Dead ashes’ be damned,” Dick
snorted. “The past is going to be
raked out plenty before this contest
is over, and you know it as well as
I do! And maybe some red coals
are going to be raked out of the
‘dead ashes,’ as you put it and
maybe somebody is going to fry!”

This farmer is ordering his repair parts now, thereby making sure
that his farm equipment will be in top shape for seeding and har
vesting. The County USDA War Board says it is highly important
that all farmers do this. Last minute repairs may not be possible
due to shortages. Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard has
declared that it is every farmer’s patriotic duty to have his machinery
in best possible condition in 1942 for production of victory foods.
“Check over your old machinery and order necessary parts from your
dealer,” he advises. “If parts cannot be obtained, notify your County
USDA War Board.”

FOOD
Farmers Here Urged
To Repair Machines
Bluffton farmers were reminded
again this week to keep their farm
machinery in a good state of repair
by Clair A. Patterson, chairman of
the Allen county agricultural war
board.
“Farmers can do much to assure
that this year’s record agricultural
goals will be reached by ordering re
pair parts and reconditioning every
available piece of farm machinery
while other work on the farm is
slack,” Patterson said.
In connection with the campaign
for repair of farm machinery now
under way in Allen county, the
USDA War Board chairman out
lined the following three reasons
why immediate action is important.
Farmers are being called upon to
produce more food and feed crops
than ever before, as their part in
the war effort.
An expected shortage of farm la
bor will make it necessary to do
more farm work with machines.
Manufacture of new machinery
has been restricted by the need for
critical materials in war industries.
“Don’t delay”, Patterson advised
farmers, “check your machinery and
order new parts needed. Don’t gam
ble on a breakdown when your coun
try needs food.”
Miss Goldie Nau of Delta, was a
week end guest of Mr. and Mrs.

Founders Week Is
Observed By A &
Veterans of three past wars and
committed to a definite role in the
present world strife, the Great At
lantic and Pacific Tea Company on
Monday, February 16th, began the
observance of Founder’s Week.
The company, which was two
years old when the war between the
states broke out and which contin
ued through Appomattox, the con
quest of Spain and World War‘1,
will honor George Huntington Hart
ford, originator of the straight line
method of distribution.
With the opening of hostilities be
tween this'country and the Axis na
tions, the company charted its course
in an open letter to the American
public pledging cooperation in the
nation’s effort.
Over the signature of John A.
Hartford, president of the company
and a son of the founder, the A &
pledged itself to continue efforts to
reduce the spread between prices
paid the grower and prices charged
the consumer to continue to assist
farmers and growers in the orderly
marketing of their products at fair
prices to continue the payment of
high wages to employes and the
maintenance of good working condi
tions to make every effort to hold
inventories to the lowest point con
sistent with good service to custom
ers because hoarding, whether by
wholesalers, retailers, or consumers,
will cause higher prices, and to make
every effort to continue to sell food
at retail at the lowest margin of
profit in the history of the retail
grocery business.
Mr. J. F. Greene, sales director for
the company in this area, in an
nouncing the observance of Found
er’s Week, said: “Founder’s Week
this year comes at a critical period
in our national life. It comes at a

Attention Stock Producers
Every fanner should do all he can to produce Pork, Beef. Mutton. Milk
and Eggs. The biggest problem is to get them in the best of health and
keep them that way.
When we started making a Stock tonic or conditioner it was 26 years
ago. It was with one main purpose in mind, to make one that would do
my brother farmer the good he should expect for his money spent. We
have maintained that policy throughout these 26 years of Mineral business.
One Mineral for all stock and poultry (why not). We realize oitr
competitors criticise our policy, a good big reason. To make more money
off the farmer. We will challenge the largest house in America by only
aciding 34 lb. Gold Leaf Mineral to the hundred pounds in any of your
stock rations. I’j lbs. to chick starter or laying mash, to save more feed
and at the same time produce more Pork, Beef, Milk and Eggs.
You can not buy a Tonic or Conditioner, or feed saver, better than Gold
Leaf. It isn’t the name of the manufacturer that corrects your stock and
poultry troubles or produces your Pork. Beef, Milk, Poultry and Eggs. It’s
the pure quality ingredients that goes into the sack. All feed stuff has
raised 30% to 50%. Gold Leaf has not, and hope we will not be forced to.
The government is anxious to have every farmer produce all food stuffs
to his ability. To do this in the stock and poultry line you must keep them
in the best of health. You will find Gold Leaf fed stock in tip-top condi
tion. We are doing our part, we know you will do yours. See your dealer.
