Not a word was fa hi, but as the captain

cut him In skull-deep furrows aiWos* the

driving him hack to the cahln floor.
As the captain’s fool reached the floor
he slipped In a pool of hia own blood.
W ren the Malay stabbed him In the left
sl-ie and gave the knife a twist that
opened up the flesh until the lungs pro
truded. Nevertheless, the captain man

luckily, knocked the Malay across the

the further bulkhead. In this Way the
captain was able to retreat to'hls state

The light began Juat after midnight

Chinese steward, whom he motioned at a
window. Ho himself went to the sky

shot that diove a Malay within range of

Mobniumrdaa l.ovr of Heath.
According to tho histories, our pirate clt-
Igcns came to Hutu Island front Borneo
at about the time Spain took pnesesslon
of iAixon. They were Malays by birth
and Mohammedans In religion. Tltey very
quickly dominated the Hulu group and
Mlndtnao. for they were as aggressive and
apuble aw the old Vikings When the
Spaniards undertook the task of subduing
the Bulu Islands by the methods that had
been successful In the West Indies, they
found these Malays of very different
metal. The Malays not only defeated
every Spaniard force sent to them, but
with every monsoon they sent thetr great
rowboat*, that they handl'd with Vlktnic
skill and tburafe, to devastate the Span
ish-held coasts.
No fiercer pirates than these ever
went afloat, hecause bloodshed was a part
of their religion. No man could be a chief
among them till he had lopped olf the
heada of sixty unbelievers. The (Spanish
men who were captured were always kill
ed, the women were sent to the harems,
and the young children were enslaved
Not until breeeh-loodlng and rapid-fire
weapon* came Into use did the Spanish get
even a foothold In the Bulu archipelago.
(Jen. Arolai, a Republican, was sent there
some time In the eighties by the monarch
ists. who expected him to die, but he liv
ed and established the Spanish power
there. Then the government sent a near
ruler—one of the Weyler sort—to replace
him, with the result that the pirates,
within a few months, killed him and al
most his entire force. A Malay chief lit
erally spilt his skull open down to hi*
teeth In the presence of all the Spanish
troops, and at that signal the ctotefa fol-
lowers, armed with knives only, routed
and slaughtered all the Spanish troops
save lucky few who escaped by flight
and stealth.
The Vikings of the Snath.
In their piratical forays these Sulus have
always been Vikings-they Invariably
went afloat In long, sharp, dug-out ca
noes. which were ke|W upright In a sea
way by means of a Isimboo outrigger on
each side. They had no less than 2UO of
these craft In IM2. that ranged from
twenty to thirty tons In burden, each of
which was manned with from forty to
tlfty men The number decreased
from year to year thereafter.
They used both sails and pad
dles. the latter having diamond
shaped holies. A eross section of one of
these huge dug-out* was very nearly an
equilateral triangle, the two sides r-pre
senting the bottom being slightly rounded.
The breadth across the outriggers was
Shout eight times the beam of the ratio-
The speed of the boat, whether under sail
or paddle, was tremendous when tho water
was smooth enough.
The Most Fiendish Men I.lvina.
For wea|ns afloat they had awards,
knives, spears and hatchets, hut the sword
and the knife were used most, the favor
ite above all being the krls—a two-edged
blade that Is bent to the form of a run
ning serpent, the most devilish weapon
known to the human race.
They have always made their own weap
ons. smelting the native ores with char
coal tires and refining the melol until. In
spile of crude processes and cruder took,
they produced most excellent blades The
flulu pirate readily cuts clear through
an ordinary human body at one blow, end
he inc'c easily spills head and neck to lha
shoulders.
The difficulty of taming these wild men
will be understood when tlielr religion Is
considered. Their hatred of Christians Is
cultivated from their earl teat youth and
the surest road to thetr heaven Is. In
their belief, to die while killing the holed
unbelt*van. Then, 100, they are utterly

recently, were capable and daring sea

through the Philippine group In eearch of

who was taken by them and lived to tell

had no kss than different ship* with
guns ranging up to eighteen-pounders—
some of th<m bad batteries as good aa

Philippine af 'up as well a* their own

numerous In those open seaa as bum-boat
men In the ports, as the owners of the
Boston ship Celestial learned.
But the Chinamen, even when not num

Malave of Sulu. for the Chinaman with
his Junk* had something of the semblance
of a war squadron. His attack* were like
an open battle. Our Malaya were not so.

JAPAN SCHOOL.*.
Drawing and Pnlnlina Inrlnded In
the Curriculum.
In Ihe school* In Japan drawing and
painting are included In Ihe curriculum
for all the scholar*, whether boys or
girls. Every Japaneses learns to us* the
brush as he learns to read, and all have
a natural defines# in that direction. Be
side lielng born artistic, the Japanese
would naturally become skilled In the free
use of the brush because aii their writing
is done with It, requiring free-hand
strokes for every letter. Men. particu
larly gifted with a talent for art, make
M their profession, and find plenty of
encouragement. for a man with mod
erate talent there ts always decorative
work, more here than In any other coun
try. because Ihe Japanese never turn out
even the simplest articles for dally house
hold use without some decoration which
is really artistic, and year by year (ha
demand for these thing* In other coun
tries I* growing. The artist who wishes
to devote hi* talents to becoming a paint
er of picture* finds new schools of art
which have superseded thoao In tbs old
day* supported by the "Shogun.” the "Mi
kado." Hut with all these opportuni
ties for men there is almost none for tire
Japaneses women who are endowed with
extraordinary gift*.
Under these circumstances It Is the
more remarkable to find a woman artiat
In the Japanese capital who 1s not only
making of her talent for painting a lucra
tive profession, but who has a number
of pupils of the opposite sex. This lit
tle woman I* named Klmpu, and she has
had a hard struggle. For many year#
she lived with her husband In the coun
try near Kioto, where art was Judged ac
cording to the standards of certain old
schools which flourished In that vicinity.
Klmpu’* work ws* lucking In the con
ventionality to which they were used, and
