We left the soldiers encamped on

Spreckels's plantation headquarters on

the superintendent. 81 was at that
time ON the Spreckels place in Hawaii.
But the overseer has been here a good
many years longer than 1 have. We
will have him up and ask him."
We went into the private Office of
the superintendent, and he sent for
the overseer.
'Mr. Peters," said the superinten-
dent, when the overseer appeared, "do
you recollect any one by the name Of
Chicot-Jean Chicot, having worked
on the plantation about ten years
ago?p
"Why, yes; everybody that was here
then remembers him. Why. the con-
founded lunatic used to give us more
trouble than all the Japs' and Geese

"Strange acting, was hep" I asked.
''6trange He was a crazy loon. He
used to go through all sorts Of moan
ings and contortions, even while at

half the time. He would disappear
about every two weeks and would be
gone a few days and come back crazier
than ever. Finally he went away for
good. Never came back. And nobody
is sorry"
''Yon think he was really crazy, or
might he be shamming?" asked Cor
don.
"Well-he's French," replied the
overseer.
