Every other toinplo of the Katumilotikanili nmwai must bo destroyed, but in this ono we will come onco n year and have a feast and perpetuate the memory of this great day of thanksgiving, when we found our sweet revenge." 'Hurray!" shrieked Jollroy Sea camp, who Lad up to thut moment been like stout. "Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Now let the eagle scream. At the American Hotel every American in Hawaii shall, on the anniversary of this day every year, have meat and drink anil all as free as air. (iosh! Ij thought I was going to bo tongue-tied there for a Kpell. Hut pardon my my apparent iiidenesi, ladies, I am so liappy I am afraid I'll bu'st," and tha Kood-naturcd fellow danced in glee niul shook the band of first one ami then another, and even phook banda all around with the grinning soldiers. "Come, let us get oil','' I Raid. "Everything can bo explained ou the Auino." "Explanations bo hanged!" said Beaeamp. "Ain't you hud explanations enough? It's all clear enough, except that saerilieo business." Helene laughed. "I It i 1 AYintiie," slio Pail, "and Kim -dan and rutin threw a Back ol earth into tho lake. That satisfied the priests, becauso they didn't know differently. Put tho soldiers came ond carried yon off before it could be explained, and we have been waiting and weeping fur you ever since." "Our weeping nn-1 waiting are over," said Wiiiiii", as wo loft tho place. "Our waiting, but not weeping, is over," I replied, "I'nelo Tom is dead." "Yes, poor Undo Tom!" she said. "Hut ho left us Helene. How my lieart rejoiced that ho had left us Helene! "One thing more remains to bo ex plained," I said, as wo led Winnie and Helene back to the landing-place. "How did you escape the torrent of lava, and upon what have you sub sisted since." "There was no torrent," replied Helene. "A few great juts spurted Imndrcd-t of feet into the uir, throw ing the lava out on the mountain-side. None of it penetrated our hiding place, lint tho eruption frightened tho priests k that not one of them lias been near us since. Nimolau and IV.ua brought us food bananas, tarn and rice. Ximolaii and l'atua havo been kind and faithful. l'atua is even D jw somewhere ou tho island looking for a way tj get oil'." "They shnll bo rewarded," I said. "They have earned it." eiiu'TKi! xxxir. Tho world that was dark had grown light ugaiii. All Hawaii was stirred by tho news of tho restoration of Win nie and tho discovery of my uncle's daughter. Tho first to congratulate IiiO was President 1'ole. Gordon' lovo walked straight intc Winnie's heart. She loved him only less than tho passionate devotion ol Helene to mo. Wo were four happy people. Helena would not listen to any proposition of mine to make her tho bents of Uncle Tom's estate. Shfl insisted that the will should stand ami tho fortune should bo divided into thirds. Winnie was to receive her share and I mine. It did not make much difference to me, for what was Heleue's would b of equal bene fit to me. So Mr. Herktou and Presi dent Do!o settled the estate in that way. All the smaller legacies were paid as I'nelo Tom had desired, hut they ma le very little inroad on the im mense fortune. Wo found ourselves very wealthy. Even a third of Uncle Tom's fortune was a fortune in itself. Not long after tho return to The Corals there was a doublo wedding, at which Winnie became Gordon's bride nud Helene mine. President Pole anted in the capacity of parent to Win nie, an 1 old Jem Chicot tottered for ward and, in his trembling voice, (,'ave Helene, my beautiful Kaumai, into my keeping. The representa tives of the nations were there, aud the la lies of tho diplomatic circles took the two beautiful brides to their heart at once. President Dole was in bis happiest moo 1. When he came to us to otl'er bis congratulation, than which none could bo more sincere, he said: "As this great li;;ht of happiness is dawning for you, s is the daw a com ing one ! mofti for our little country. I received dispatches from Washing ton to-day stating that our position was becoming better understood there and that there was a revulsion of popular feeling in our favor. There is no longer any talk of restoring the qauen, aud the government of the United States has at last opoued its eyes to the fact that these islands are of the utmost importance as a coaling siuti'ii, if American naval power in t'l ! 1'aciih; would he maintained.

Minister Willis, us yon see, it on the friendliest footingaud acknowl edges that his former understanding of tho matter was superficial and faulty. Tliero will bo plonty for you to do in assisting us to make the name of Hawaii a proud one before th world. Gordon is where ho belongs, Yott, Warriugford, must go into the cabinet." "Not now," I said. "And you raufil grant Gordon a leave of absence. II is our intention to tako a journey to America and to Eurnnn. vjiriestess here has seen very little of tne worhf, and a few months of travel and sight seeiii"; will do much to eraso the pic tures that must now linger in her brain." "True, true," said President Dole. "Go, onjoy yourselves; but return. 1 need you both. In fact, I need all tour of you." "Do not fear that we may not re turn. There are too many heart-ties that bind us to Hawaii," I replied, "sad though some of them may bo. It it not so, my priestess?" "Yes," said Helene. "Hawaii mus be our home, and in that happy anc glorious future that is opening to ui we shall live and forget the past you the strife, the sorrow, the trials, I th dreams and vagaries that oueo en thralled me." Then Doctor Warren aud Doctoi Tilling eamo up. "Well, wo two have pulled you through a goo, I many tough spots," nai I Tilling. "Mrs. Warriugford owes) is a debt of gratitude." "I feel it, indeed I do," Baid Helene. "I bless you, childreu," said old Doctor Warren, before whose paered head I bowed in reverence. "May God's blessing rest ou you all. You pro going away, so they tell me. Well, perhaps 1 shall not bo here when you return, but take my blessing and lovo with you around the world." Oh, whot kind words were said that day. From all sides tho expressions f regard were tho sweetest. And tho heavens beamed upon no fonder mir happier hearts than ours. Tho day before we were going to sail, Gordon lounged into the library from the porch, where be had been sitting, ami saw me on a step-ladder milling something in the wall. "What tho mischief are you tip to now?" he asked. "Have you turned :arpenter, goiio daft, or what?" "N'one of them," I replied. "Iam preparing a work of art upon which future generations will dwell xvith awe and admiration." "Get your head out of the way so I ran seo it," ho said. I gave a nail a llual rap and stepped down. Up on the wall, over a coral bracket, was a girdle of brilliant stones from which tho light flashed in bright color.'. Under it whs the legend: "Kaumai, the lust of the Priestesses of Pole." Gordon laughed. When Winnie Paw it she 'aughed. When Helene saw it she looked grave. Hut I sur veyed it with pride. It did not, how ever, awe any future genoration. Up on our return from our tour throngh America and Europe, Helene, who had become, a very wise sort of wife, tore the thing down, aud used the jewels for dre$s trimmings, I remonstrated, "I want to keep that to remember ha days on Kapatoli," I said. She opened her big eyes and lifted her brows saucily. "Well, dear, you have me, and ilj you cannot remember those days when rou look ut me, I am suro these bau bles would not refresh your memory." See what a slave a man may become even in his own domain! fiiAPTKH xxxnr. Prosperity has come, to Hawaii. Tho darkness of ignorance, .supersti tion ami idolatry huve been chased away by the light of education aud peace. The march of progress is ex tending into every one of the inhabit i'c islands, uud the increasing com forts of tho people, under a satisfac tory and commoii-senso government, havo destroyed all the power once held) by the ex-queen's adherents. There is no more Kammiloiikauilimawai. It went down under the severe menace of the law, and its temples were de stroyed. All save that on Kapatoli, which was left infant at the request ol Gordon aint myself. Our weddiug tour lasted nearly a year. AVe visited tho many places of in terest and sceuie beauty in the United States, the Yosetnito Valley, Yellow stone Park and Lowei California. We made stops ut all tho principal cities, rhiefly New York, Chicago uud Wash ington. We went to Loudon, thence '.it Paris, where we remained for some tittle time, i'roin there we went to Nice and did the Riviera. Egypt and the Nile aud liurmah were visited and Uiidied. Then hack to Honolulu. lleleue and Winnie thoroughly en joyed this travel, and we all benefited by it veiy much. To Helene in par ticular it was a revelation, so little had spa kuoxvu of the world outside her temples. Her mind broadened nuder the stimulus of study, aud she proved her possession of a mind capa ble of graspiug tho greater truths ui life, and was not long in patting her self upon an equality with the most nccouiplb'hod. ?iti readily acquire 1 a knowledge of music, au l her nature being essentially wUuUo, she m uu dept in all the studies of higher en. ture which she took tip. Ry tho time we arrived at Honolulu again I hua reason to bo proud of my wifo'fl men tal attainments as well as her physical beauty. Whore the fair Nuiiouii Valley opreads its fairest vista, with the mountains in tho distance, the palms iml mangoes shading the fertile land, a new mansion stands, surrounded by k beautiful lawn. It is Palm Power, the home of Winuio aud Gordon, and is uot far from Tho Corals, where Helene and I huvo taken up our abode. Our existence in Oahu is an ideal one. We race up and down the valley on our favorite horses, have picnics on Diamond Point, have lawn parties and balls to which all the best people in Honolulu delight to come. Old Doctor Warren is dead, but his memory is held dear by the people of Hawaii, to whom he left the precious legacy of health; for his treatment of leprosy was taken up by tho Govern ment, and the leper colony at Molokni is no more. Where my cottage stood the nccno of my miserable waiting for death n pretty little park sur rounds a marble monument, upon which I have had inscribed a fitting tribute to the great benefactor whose life-study culminated in the effort that gave me back my lifo and happiness. l'atua and Ximolau have been amply provided for, and frequently come to The Corals or Palm Power with u sup ply of fish which they havo taken in tho fishing-schooners thut were part of tho reward for their faithfulness. Old Jean Chicot, nearly blind, tot tering on the vergo of the grave, still lingers, and his worship of Helene is mthetio aud beautiful to seo. Like a aithful dog ho watches her graceful movements, and murmurs to himself: "Helen my Helene! I taught her, aud seo how beautiful she is!" And Helene is beautiful. Her trans cendent beauty increases with her hap piness, and iu the infatuation that has enthralled me, and will ever hold me, I can seo nothing but perfect happi ness, sweetest bliss in our future. And Gordon, grown so stout that his old uniforms are like those of a hoy to him, lolls on his porch or mine, iaugles his sword-sheath over his leg nd talks proudly of his Winnie nnd the great days that are ahead for all ol as.

It may be best in some eases and uu wise lii ut hers. T'niler one contractor some portions of the road will neees-1 sarily be neglected, while repairing others, while with Hevernl men each given a short section, the xvork could be done whenever needed. If a road machine Is used, It would be best to , engage (someone with suitable teams j to use it throughout the entire town ' wherever necessary, us to do good ! work requires practice for both team uud incn, uud shifting it from one small contractor to (mother would re sult in failure, even if such contractor j could provide teams for its use. I , would have each contractor pay for this machine xvork at a fair rute per day. and let such expense he consid- j ercd iu making his contract. If he j preferred to use It but little, or even j not at nil, it would not matter bo long i as his section ef road was left In a ' satisfactory condition. The material usually used In re pairing country Toads is road xvash or turf that has grown upon it, nnd Is iu no sense suitable. The worn pebbles have no power of coherency. They xvill not bind, and the orgauie matter of turf is productive only of mud and dust. There Is no road so pleasant to ride upon as a xvell made, xvell-drained. xvell giaded dirt road. Ouce nettled into place it will kt in god condi tion lor years if frequently looked after. Ou heavy soils it will, of course, be muddy when the frost it coming out, but that is only for n short period, uud the pleasure of rid ing on it free from noise and dust at other seasons compensates for a good Ccal of springtime annoyance. i It is not practicable to harden nil country roads, and if the road Is xvell. drained and the gutters and sluices kept open it is not desirable. A clat tering stone road lakes away uiiich of the eliariu of a country drive, to say nothing of the annoyance to dwellers thereon. Sum-times, if gravel is readi ly available, it is economy to sur face n damp dirt re-id with a four-inch coat. This will keep all light vehicles out i-f the intid, even in springtime, and unless heavy teams pass over it xvill last for years. Wet places that cannot lie successfully drained, should be tilled with a Telford pavement and from b'ix to eight inches of gravel placed over it. All gutters and sluices should ho large i-noiigU to take the rainfall nt its greatest excess, and the failure to have them so Is a frequent source of tiamage and consequent expense.

There is plenty of xviiter in Paris, lo be sure, and an enormous quantity of It Is used on the streets. All day long men wit Ii lines of hose xvhieh nre made iu metallic' sort inns xvith flexible .'mints, each section mounted on xvhiels, gi up uud do xv n the principal streets and boulevards distributing watir xvith a free hand. The ditiiciilty is not to get xvater on the stre-t level, but to get it above that level, and after that the great dillieiilty Is to get It hot. All but the very newest of modern houses in Paris have xvater only on the street level. This water Ik carried to the upper lloors of houses iu buckets as needed. This is true not alone of private houses, but of hotels of the older type. These abound in Paris, and the comforts they offer to the traveler are almost colilined to the table. Moreover, though waior may bn tlruxvn iu any quantity on the ground lloor, there are no I'm-iliies for heat ing xvater. A hotel keeper may put a kettle on the range ami send up a quart of hot xvater to your room, but when it. comes to tilling a tub he xvotlld admit that it xvas beyond (In capacity of his establishment. Many Parisians use the big bathhouses along (he Seine. In places these houses occupy a greater part of the river, but if a Parisian wants a hot bath he must (urn to that time Ion ored Trench institution, the perambu lating Gilt lit uti.

Some interesting commeiiis upon Cu ban women were made by Miss Silvia Alfonso of Havana, while on a visit to Ncxv York (Tiy. Since the Ameri cans have entered Havana in sin-h numbers, she says. Cuban giris have noticeably begun to copy many of the ways of American xvomeii. They w -le formerly ex lingly ipiiet and domes tic in tiieir habits, seldom seen iu the streets, except xvhen nece-sary, and traveling little. Now (hey remain less secluded, appear frequently in public places and are beginning more generally to (ravel for pleasure. "lleally, they are taking quite an in teresf in sports now," continued Miss. Alfonso, "but they hardly ihink it proper lo ride bicycles yet. Some of them tried It for a while, but our life Is so different from yours that no lady with n marked stress on ibis xvovdj likes to be seen o'-i a bicycle. No. they do not play golf, but some of the gir's are fond of teiitiis.ainl play well." Miss Alfonso laughingly scouted the Idea of the sinning ot "any xvomeu'.s dubs in Cuba for some time to conn'. Public and even private schools are practically unknown. Miss Alfonso states, but girls of iniiins are usually cdmated in (lieu- homes by private teachers nnd governesses. She xvas educated herself In ihis xvay in Ha vana. Occasionally p.neiiis semi their children to New York City or lo ome foreign cil.V to be educated.

"Oh. nearly everybody of education can speak English," Miss Alfonso ex claimed, " and Preach as xvell. We think it a great aeconiplishmeiit to speak well iu many languages. And the young xvoini-n do a great deal of painting, and. ol nurse, beautiful em broidery. They an- always taught singing and piano playing and nil things or that son."
