The old Frenchman nobbed.
"Now axvoy homo," I said gnyly.
"We came to find Helena aud we have
found her. Wo were eager to ba
avenged, ond our vengeance is of the
vectest. Gordon, this spot Bhall bo
acred while you and I live. 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."

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. I
,1 i c. ! ka .v what will he done, but
t i r v,i! a: l i t im pejee. We shall
t.i.v ii j uiuic intrigues and inadutuw
OF HAWAII.
cn the part of the ex-quccn'a adher
ents. 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

be worked under the eon
AA tract system or otherwise,
mid whether It Is wlse-or
otherwise to give the work of an en
tire township to one coutrnctor, it Is
Impossible' toluy down a general rule.
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. Tc
summarize: Put your roads into the
best condition possible xvith the menus
available, and theu give them con
stant intention rather than to neglect
tliem for eleven months nnd repair

Improrrs Farm Property.
The testimony ns to the effect of
good roads ou the value of Illinois
farm properly is unanimous and over
xvholmiug, and shows conclusively
that every dollar extu-uded upon tha
construction of hard roads adds at
least $.' to the cash value of tho farm,
nud xvill Increase the cash income
from the farms more thnu twice the
mutual road tax. Or, In other xvords,
good roads xvill pay eight to ten per
cent, a month ou xvhutever amount

He xvho xvill point the xvay whereby
the current of young life may bo
changed to flow from the city to the
country; that xvill scatter the Hat
dwellers over God's green prairies,
xvill deserve n moiiuincrr. So far as
xve cnu see the forces to do this are
good roads, free rural mail delivery,
tha farm telephone and rapid transit.
These are mighty forces and will revo
lutionize cur so dal conditions.
Good stone or gravel roads are a
permanent ::sset lo the State, county,

WHEN A PARISIAN BAT,. IS,
rhe Ulfflrulllm lie l.iii-oiiiilrii in Taking
h Dot I'll'.
When a Parisian takes a bmli. all
Paris knows ii that is, when he takes
a hot bath. The Parisian l as a hard
time keeping clean. Thai he suc
ceeds SO Well is very I'llteh In his
credit. He labors under the disad
vantage of having Im ndeipmte sup
ply of xvater. 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.
To the American who sees this in
FtiliKioii for the first time traversing
the principal streets of the great city
it Is very mirth provoking. Ami be
xvill see it in iiliiu st any part of tin;
city if be slays there long enough and
moves about the streets, lor the baih
man's houses are distributed till over
Paris.

is nothing unusual in Paris, where

nnd he stands between th-- shafts
of it t wo-wln-eled curl. On ibis e.-irt
Is mutinied a tatii.. On the tank
structure is balaueed a substantial
bathtub which is provided with cas
ters. In front of the lank are tun
large metal bucki is uud a yoke. Tim
bathmaii draws this apparatus
through the streets to your bouse.
When you xvant a hot tub. you
order one for a particular hour of a
particular day. The bathmaii i nines
around xvith Ids apparatus at Hie
hour named, lie stops in front of
your bouse, nnd. lifting the tub from
the top of the lank, he put it over his
head like a hoed and carries it tip
ptitirs to your room. Then le- ret in ns
to the street and draws off the le t
xvater from the tan!; into (he hm kets.
These- he hangs at each cud of ti;

shoulders, nud in t!i!s fashion he con
veys (he water to the tub. When ihe
(lib is full, he retires and xvaits lor n
reasonable time for you. Then bo

l CUBAN WOMEN'S PASTIMES.
Situ Kllvlu Alfonso Tiilhn lliilcrtttliilngl.v
f Her Country XVomvn.
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.
Science and matiicinalics elite!" little
Into a girl's education, bill mii- h ;'t
tetitiim is paid to lite study of lan
guages. "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."
Ou being asked whether the Women
were inierested ill charitable or phil
anthropic xvork. she ndiiiiiicd thai
many of them xxoiv. A popular i..elhod
among them of ral. ing money for
lie'-e objects is lo give a ball. ;.t
xvhieh tlir- patrons pay liberally.
The beauty colli".-!-, such as thai
ill which Mi-.s Ail'otis.j was elected
queen, ocetir eiily one in tlp.s e or four
years, being Coudtieii ,1 by some Ha
vana newspaper. Oecasi-uinlly a b.'il
is fiivrn lo the newly elected qtt-eit,
nnd no liitle excitement reigns for the
lime among ine young girls prominent
iu society, for no married xvonian Is
eligible for voles in these coiiu-sts.

There lias been some effort in the fur
world to popular!" in fur the long
coat so stylish in cloth, ltul xvheii in
buying xvomeii feci tln-ir xwifchr, their
choice usually falls upon th" short
jacket. This latter, in length from
eighteen to twenty four inches, in
Persian lamb or seal, wiil be i In- pop
ular fur jacket of Hie coining season.
Collar and rovers of chinchilla, mint,
or sable will be their universal ad
junct. A ncxv touch Is given this year's
levers by "llei klllg." Hitherto levers
have always been llai. but the new
ones have a graceful curve thai is an
entirely new feat lire. Pitted backs
xvith fuller skirts will also mark the
new fur jacki Is.
Neck scarfs xvill i-oiiiinc.e to le .i
