Republic No. 8 consisted of only two
persons; the Millionaire (before he
was cast away) and the Flapper (who
had almost outgrown the flapper stage
in the year since they landad, three
weeks before Christmas).'' By treaty
they held the western end of the island
which was hilly' and well wooded. This
included Flatfish Bay, where the best
Ash were caught. „. Republic No.- 1
claimed a right of fishing -off the east-
ern side of the narrow' bay, but did
not ,exercise it by daylight. Republic
No. 8 possessed all the armed resour-
ces of the island—viz: the Million-
aire's -revolver--and he had announc-
ed that he would shoot any one who
came -there. He and thoPlepper had
a stronghold on Palm Hill, the -.Only
accese=to which was over a deep cleft.
They bridged this with a gangway of
branches Which they drew in at night.
Their residence was a theft in the top
of .the hill which opened into three
caves—one for the Millionaire, one for
the Flapper, and •one for• the• few
stores which they- had. 'The million-
aire's cave was ;hear the entrance. He
slept lightly and with the revolver
under the blanket which he folded for
a pillow.
The internal' condition of all,, three
republics was .peaceful,, 'Richardson
commanded the sailors. ' The ladies
were a good-tempered, chattering an-
archy. The third republic was really
a dual monarchy. The Millionaire
ruled: ;the Flapper - and the Flapper
ruled the Millionaire. Their behavior
to each other was most: proper and
very creditable; but this was exactly
what the others did not believe. '
There had been -no diplomatic re.
lations ,between "them and the other
states since they had departed carry-
ing (upon two Journeys) much as
they could take consistently with the
Millionaire having 'a,- free revolver
hand and (upon the second occasion)'
the Flapper—she was a big fair data-
tune—carrying a; gnarled club. They
did not admit that' they had received
their due allotment, and this was a
second reason for the breach; the first
reason being the mistaken belief of
the rest as to their internal policy. A
third reason was their suspicion as to.
the nature of the relations between
the other states.
This suspicion was also erroneous.
The relations, of the First Republic
and the Second Republic 'were merely
those of international comity. The
men had twice repaired': the women's
tent, and not infrequently' gave them
extra Stores, The women mended the
men's clothes, and often 'gave' them
shellfish. Three times during the year
they had dined together, ' A,practice
had- grown tris of calling good -night
across the ravine, which they con-
sidered neutral ground. That was
the extent of their intimacy,-

"If you ask me," Stella Raikes said,
"it's you who :are in'danger, child;
and, Wisn't the •sailors you s e in dan-
ger from."
"I'll -chance itl" the Flapper stated:
She squeezed the Millionaire's arm.
The men swore that they wouldn't
hurt the ladies, and they didn'tsay
that the Millionaire was altogether
unjustified in -his action; but it wasn't
right to kill a man for kissing a girl
under the mistletoe. "And I= don't
suppose missie would have madasuch
a fuss if you 'hied -done ;et!" (The ladies
applauded this sentiment, and ,Ruby
Green muttered "Fat hussy!") "Still,
he did it in a way it, shouldn't have
been done, and hinted at things," Tom
Richardson owned. So they didn't
want to have a trial, or make any un-
pleasantness, But they weren't going
to be at the mercy of oire man who had
a revolver, to be shot' just whet be
pleased; and he must give it up, or
they'd "down" him sooner.or later.
"Don't give it up," the Flapper ad-
wised. "They'll kill you if you do."
"My girl," Tom Richardson told her,
"we happen to, be men. If we giveour
word not to harm him, we won't; and
he knows it." -
"Yes, Richardson," the Millionaire
said,. I know It. Sober, you are then,
If you" agree to break up the.rum
