A Lucky Man.

Smith was telling Jones about ro-
nance in his life. Smith having been
. bachelor, aged forty or in excess
thereof, before he had fettered HIM
self by chains matrimonial Jones,
on the contrary, had begun young,
and there was much Joy and verdure
in his life, and he did not look at the
world and the men and women of it
with cynic's eye.
"And, remarked Jones, yin response
to the story Smith was telling. "you
say that you and Brown courted the
same lady for ten years?"'
Exactly. That is to say, it may
have been month or six weeks shy
of that, but, to all intents and pur.
poses, it was ten years.
Chow remarkable!'
"Rather."
"And which was the lucky man?'
ooh, Brown, of course. If you
knew me you'd know that l was never
around when the lucky numbers were
being drawn"
"You are to be pitied; really you
are, my dear Mr.. Smith" said Jones,
laying his hand on the other mans
shoulder tenderly.
"'Thank you, am sure;" and Smith
brushed an incipient tear from his
eye.
81 don't want to be inquisitive, OF
open any old Wounds" continued
Jones, "but may ask as a friend how
long ago it was that Brown married
the LADY,"
"He didn't marry her" said Smith,
with emphasis.
Didn't marry her?" exclaimed
Jones. "Why. didn't you say.that he
was the lucky man?"
''Of course I did I was the man
who married her." And Smith looked
at the simple-minded and guileless
Jones with an eye that made the
goose-fesh stand out on his bones and
sent the creeps up and down his back.

CHAPTER xvH-(Continued.,

The secretary, leaning heavily on the
back OF chair, heard this dismissal
with eyes lowered and hands clenched
by his sides.
For long minute after Lord Inchcape
had finished there was silence, while
S.rcombe struggled for strength to utter
onc wild protest.
He might have Injured Lady Inch
cape, who had never liked nor trusted
him; but oh! he had been loyal to Lady
Ulrae
How gladly he had consecrated his
scholarship to her use; how patiently he
had gu ded her girlish steps through the
sacred labyrinths of knowlec -e. Had
che not been given to him by her proud
father to be his pupil in lonely Sleat ma
Nrecken? and If she grew from girlhoOd
gent y into womanhood, and drew her
tutors unwilling heart after her, until
1t had no pulse that did not beat for her,
ah. who was to blame?
And now-who loved her as he loved
her; poor, shamed, ruined, Gd John
Sircombe? For he loved without ever
having presumed to hope for possession
loved for the simple rapture OF loving
her! And now they spoke of sending
him away-of barring him from the
presence that made life endurableI
81 deserve death, perhaps" he cried,
wildly, "but / ha got my death blow;
shall not live long to bear my shame;
let me live out my poor days near you,
then, my lord; do not-do not Danish me
altogether"
He fell at Lord Inchcape's feet in an
agony of duplication; for moment his
haggard face looked up towards my
lord with strainlng eye, then he sank
lower yet-he lay prone upon the carpet
he was senseless, and the red blood
oozcd from his lips.
Poor, worn, midnight student.
The sweet passion which is due at
twenty-one, had come upon him at sixty

the following facts to illustrate what
the introduction of germicides and an

During the Crimean War, many more
than half the amputations that were
performed resulted in the death of the
patient, the exact percentage of NOR
tality being 63.5. During the Ameri-

amputation was still 4S.7 per cent.
Then the new methods came to be
more and more employed, and in 1890
the statistics of amputation showed
that the mortality was but SO per

rather that the people of this insular

LOCAL cOnnENT.
From THE HAWAIIAN of Saturday,

From THE HAWAIIAN of Saturday.
The article on the coffee disease OF
Central America and Mexico, pub
lished in THE HAWAIIAN last week,
has rightly started an alarm lest the
bright prospects of the coffee men OF
Hawaii be clouded by the accidental
introduction into this country OF the
same disease. The article will act as
general timely warning. But the
men who are zealously guarding the
interests of our agriculturists and
horticulturists have not been unmind-
full of the danger named, as at the
last meeting of the Bureau of Agri-
culture the recommendation of Pro-
fessor Koebele, the Governments
entomologist, that all coffee seed i'm
ported should be disinfected, to de-
stroy any fungus disease which might
possibly be introduced, was adopted.

The greatest charm of Honolulu is
its magnificent shade trees, and when
one of them is destroyed or disfgur-
ed, is gives pain to refined people,
who are always lovers of beautiful
nature. 1t is pleasant to know that
hereafter the telephone and electric
light companies will act in concert
with the Bureau of Agriculture, to
the end that there may be no further
ground for the complaints that have
been made in the past, of trees be-
ing needlessly disfgured by linemen
when putting up wires.

ANOTHER LINE OF STEAMERS.

From The Hawaiian of Saturday.
A letter received in Honolulu this
week brings word, from a reliable
source, that negotiations so far
made give assurance that a line of
freight and passenger steamers will
commence running between San
Diego and the Hawaiian Islands not
later than next October, provided
the war between the United States
and Spain does not interfere. This
is not a local scheme by few mo-
neylesS dreamerS, but has the back
ing of no-leSS powerful corporation
than the Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany. The local part of the pro-
ject is being furthered by one of the
strongest business firms of Homo
lulu.
What such a line of steamers
would do for both Southern Cali
fornia and these Islands, has already
been fully pointed out by THE HA-
WAIlAN. 1t would, in short, mean
new markets and stimulated trade
just the things the commercial world
is bidding for. The Santa Fe Rail-
road has not gone into this project
for the glory of owning a fleet of
ships sailing to and coming from a
climate-seekers' paradise-it has as
surance that the steamers would not
only pay their own way, but would
make more work and more money
for its trains. Railroad corpora
tons work for business, not senti-
ment.
