Il opened the door for the New Year
TO come in," said Marcy.
John Brunder stood and looked at her
in amazement, and then Margey, who had
almost recovered her self possession, told
him all about it.
"Well, well, wellr' he exclaimed.
"You're the kind of girl 1 like. l knew
that niece of my brothers wife was liv-
ing here, but had no idea she was such
a-such a girl as you are! What is your
name?'
"Margey."
sMiss Margey," said John Brunder, ex-
tending his hand, 81 wish you a very hap
py New Year"
'The same to you, SIR" said she, Civ
ing him her hand.
''And now you want to know why l
don't live here" said John Brunder.
''You certainly have a right to know, and
I will tell you in as few words as possible.
/ was born in this house and have lived
here good deal, off and on, and the last
time l took up my abode in the room with
the bedstead with the curly footboard
thought 1 was settled for life, but ny
brother and 1 are very different in dispo
sition. He is more sober and quiet than
/ am, and 1 am a great deal more lively
and restless than he is, and there you
have our characters in as few words as
possible. About six years ago we had a
misunderstanding. 1 will not say any
thing about it because he is not here to
present his side of the question, and
der the circumstances it would not be
fair for me to present mine. However
1 am very hotheaded at times-not al
ways, mind you, for generally am very
mild indeed, but at this particular time
ignited and went off like a irecracker.
and you know that when a irecracker
goes off it doesn't come back again.
Marcy was listening with great inter

We going to do next? And if you will al
low ne to answer my own question will
say that the very best thing you can do
for me is to give me something to eat, or,
If it will please you better, allow me to
get it myself, for if the pantry of this
house is still under the charge of Joseph
Buckle I know where to find the eata-
bles."
For a minute Marcy stood and look
ed earnestly at the good natured gentle
man. She believed just as firmly as she
believed anything that he was Mr.. John
Brunder the younger brother of her I'm
Gle Horace. but still she had no positive
proof of the fact; she had only his word
for it. Was it right for her to allow him
to go about the house and eat thn:-s
without giving the family notice of his
presence? But if she were to go Up
stairs and knock at her uncle's door har
Aunt Ellen-oh, no; she could not do
that at this time Of night.
He laughed. He was almost on IT,
point of laughing aloud, but he checked
himself. 81 know what you are thin,i;:::

candle.
Marcy obeyed. "But that isn't yorr

is my uncle's name, Horace Brunder!'
ITO be sure it is!' said he. 81 took i;
away by mistake and left mine. If Ia

can change umbrellas anyway, so thai
my time will not be entirely lost"
Marcy smiled. 81 think that is

est. She and her companion had seated
themselves, and she was rapidly losing all
fear of him.
"As told you,'' he continued, 81 went
off and did not intend to come back, but
gradually my ideas began to change. My
brother was getting old-so was l, for
that matter-and 1 determined to try to
be reconciled with him. 1 started out this
day thinking it would be a good thing to
begin the New Year in harmony and
brotherly love. / expected to be here
early in the evening, but my train was
detained for long time, and 1 really did
not know how late it was when / walked
up here. / was dumfounded at finding
the house all shut up and dark, and
could not think what to do, for 1 knew
very well that if 1 rang the bell / nigh;
startle your Aunt Ellen, in which case
nobody could know what might happen
So l stood there celebrating, and / rea lily
believe / was on the point of walkinc
back to the village when 1 heard some
one opening the door so gently and quiet
ly that l was positively certain that il
was highly desirable not to make a noise
So, you see. was not surprised when the
door opened. l supposed that some one.
probably Joseph Buckle, had seen me ar
rive. By the way, is Joseph still here?''
''Oh, yes"' said Marcy.
81 am so glad of that" said John Brun

ways wished that ever since she had
known what a New Year meant.
John Brunder arose. "My dear young
friend, Miss Margey," he said, what are

queer way to prove your Identity" she
said, "but as l truly believe it doesn t
need any proving it does not matter
ct is a very good proof" persisted the
other. IF 1 were an improper person
and had taken that umbrella, do you
suppose 1 would have brought it back ?
And now let's go into the pantry. I'm
nearly famished."
So saying, he picked up the candle
stick, and, shading the flame so that no
ray of it should go up stairs, he crossed
the hall into the dining room. Margey
followed, and as she saw how deity he
made his way around the furniture and
toward the pantry she felt positively as
sured that he must at one time have been
very much at home in that house. In
the pantry John Brunder put the candle
down and looked about him.
do you still eat Albert biscuit?" he
asked.
"Oh, yes!' replied Marcy.
"Then 1 know where Joseph Buckle
keeps them. Joseph never changes If 4
thing belongs in one place, it belongs
there always. There" said he, opening
a dresser drawer. Here is the tin box,
just where l have found it hundreds of
times before"
Marcy now thought she ought to help
little. To be sure, this genial gentle
man seemed to know so well where to
find the eatables that she might have
gone to bed and left him to take care of
himself, but this did not suit her idea of
propriety or proper hospitality, so she
opened another closet.
''Do you eat cheese at this time of
night sir?" she asked.
"Oh, yes" he replied, "when I am as
hungry as L am now! And isn't that a
box of sardines? Open top! Now, let us
take these things over to the table. No.

and they will make mistakes, they will
the Star aims at is that the leading
string policy should be done away
with, and in its place should be sub
stituted the policy of responsibility.
In such a matter as this it is more
the educational effect upon the popu-
lation that should be considered, rath-
er than any immediate result. 1t may
be perfectly true that a governor can
appoint and will appoint good men
for the political positions of the terri
tory. That is not in question, really.
What is in question is that the peo-
pie of the territory should learn to
pick out the best men, and place them
in office, that they should do for them
selves, and not have things done for
them.
Americanism, as the Star under
stands it, means that the people should
have a direct influence upon all pub
lie affairs. If the people have no
voice in the appointment of their high
officials they very naturally will cease
to take an interest in their local af-
fairs and the lassitude, laxness and
favoritism of a system of centraliza-
ton will set in. In the United States
every man feels that he has a direct
Influence not only IDOn his local of-
fairs, but upon the affairs of the whole
nation, and that is what gives that
vitality to country which is the won
der and admiration of the whole
world.
In entering the portals of the great
Republic, we also should have accord
ed to us those privileges which our
confreres have. 1t is not as if we had
not had some privileges already,
which privileges we have exercised
with considerable discretion. But we
have always had here the difficulties
of centralized system. What we now
want is a decentralized system and a
voice in our own local affairs. East
Hawaii and West Hawaii should man.
age their own affairs, so should East
and West Maui, and so on. This
country may in area be small, but it
should have the opportunity given it
of trying to manage its own affairs
through the votes of its citizens.

That there should be a new Jail is
a necessity. The present Jail was erect
ed more than forty years ago, and in
that times scientific study of penology
and many experiments have produced
plans for satisfactory housing of pri-
soners. The present Jail is not only
unsanitary but it is likewise unsafe.
Should fire ever break out and make
Roadway it is very probable that some
of the prisoners might be roasted in
their cells, for each is locked separate
1y, and it takes some time to open
each individual lock. The question of
Jail accommodation was thought of
but dropped during last Legislature.

There is now "another Richmond in
the field in the matter of canal lines.
Instead of the Nicaragua route or the
Colon-Panama route. there is a sug-
gestion that from Caledonia Bay to
Gulf San Miguel is the ideal for canal
constructors Admiral Walker has
been giving much attention to the va
rious routes and until his opinion is
heard this new alternative may be re
garded as in the air. The admiral de-
voted the whole of last summer to
studying the canal systems of Europe,
especially the great German ship ca
nal.

The S. 5. j. w. Taylor arrived in
New York the other day with patients
who had symptoms of plague. IF
course, she was promptly quaran-
tined. 1t shows, however, how very
insidious the plague is, and how ne
cessary it is for all seaports to take
the greatest care to protect them
selves and their back country. Vigi-
lance should be the watchword of our
health officials.

MORE THOUGHTS.


zone of the arguments put forward
at the time the United States came
into being was that ''it was difficult
experiment" and the giving of power
TO united sutfragists" was clearly
dangerous. That was the old Tory
doctrine, Numbered over many bot
tie of port and garnished with the
Vernacular of our ancestors. But the
United States tried the experiment, is
proving how grand the experiment
has been, and stands today an exam
pie of the progressive as opposed to
the retrograde and affete.
Had the experiment been hesitated
over, would the United States be what
it is today? The hesitation to step
forward is the hesitation of the child
who fears, it knows not what. Every
essay at government is an experiment.
What those who have the framing of
laws for a community should do is to
give as free a hand as possible to those
in the community to manage their
own affairs. This is our own case.
The objections made to the Stars
plea for local selfgovernment are based
upon a plan for not giving the voters
an opportunity to show whether they
are or are not fit to exercise their priv
ilege How is anyone going to judge
OF the capacity of the Hawaiian voter
for local self government, if no oppor-
tunity is given to him of proving that
capacity. 1t is perfectly true that we
hope eventually for the ''wider re-
sponsibilities and privileges of state
hood" but in order to reach that po-
sition we certainly need education on
the lines of local self government. We
must get out of the tutelage period
Our people must be taught their re-
sponsibilities. If they make mistakes,

Thanksgiving Day in Hawaii should
he one of real rejoicing. Seldom, if
ever, has the prosperity of the country
and of its people been so great. There
is ample employment for all who want
TO work, investors are getting good re-
turns for their capital, retail dealers
are doing well, the harbor is full of
ships and steamers, crop prospects are
excellent, and, last, but not least. Te
are part of the great American Re-
public, and that in itself should be
sufficient to rejoice over. As it is,
Hawaii may thankfully and reverently
bow her head in prayer and praise for
the many blessings which have fallen
10 her share during the year 1899.
