said he. You may have forgotten, but
I have not, that owe my life to you.
Years ago-perhaps you can recall 1t; II

down for the third time. and my moth
er was screaming in terror on the bank,
when you-you plunged in and Well,
sir, such things are never forgotten,
and, as said before, you have only to
command me-" He turned to go. but
suddenly came back. There were signs
of mental conflict in his face and voice
also. "Mr. Sutherland, am not q
talkative man. II trust your vigil
lance, you may trust my discretion.
Only must have your word that you
will convey no warning to your son;
that you will not even let him see he
lies under any suspicion, least Of all

back to Sutherlandtown. He said in
excuse for his indecision that he had
undertaken to walk, but had found his
strength inadequate to the exertion.
He was looking very pale and trembled
so that the landlord, who took his Or
der, asked him if he were Ill. But Mr..
Sutherland insisted that he was quite
well, only in hurry, and showed the
greatest Impotence till he was again
started upon the road.
For the first half mile he sat perfect
~ silent. The moon was now up and
lne road stretched before them flooded
with light AS long as no one was to
be seen ca this road or on the path
himself erect his eyes fixed before
him in an attitude of anxious inquiry,
but as soon as any sound came to
break the silence or there appeared in
the distance ahead of them the least
appearance Of plodding wayfarer he
drew back and hid himself in the re-
cesses of the vehicle. This happened
several times. Then his whole man
ner changed. They had just passed
Frederick, walking, with bowed head,
toward Sutherlandtown.
But he was not the only person on
the road at this time. A few minutes
previously they had passed another
man walking in the same direction. AS
Mr.. Sutherland unused over this he
found himself peering through the
small window at the back of the bug
gy, striving to catch another glimpse
of the two men plodding behind him.
He could see them both, his sons form
throwing its long shadow over the
moonlit road, followed only too,closely
by that other, whose ungainly step he
feared to acknowledge to himself was
growing only too familiar in his eyes.
Failing into troubled reverie, he be-
held the well known houses and the
great trees under whose shadow he
had grown from youth to manhood fit
by him like phantoms in dream. But
suddenly one house and one place
drew his attention with force that
started him again into an erect atti-

other ut the door of the cottage they
were passing, saying in choked tones:
"See, see! Something dreadful has

er, jumping out and running up the
path to look. philemon must be dead,

Here was fresh blow. Mr.. Suther-
land bowed before 1t for moment.
Then he rose hurriedly and stepped
down into the road beside the driver.

The Ar.esian Water Supply.

1t is much to be regretted that
any OF our new sugar enterprises
should be compelled from unfore.
seen circumstances TO abandon
efforts to open new fields for domes-
tic industry as has been the case
with the "American" and "Kamalo"
sugar companies, located on Molo-
hai. The only cause that has led to
this result is the lack OF water for
irrigation purposes. Molokai has
an abundance OF arabic land, but no
streams. Wells were sunk in differ
ent localities which gave excellent
fresh water, and capitalists were
encouraged TO venture in the new
enterprise, confident OF success.
But later on, the water in these
artesian wells became too brackish
for cane cultivation, aud the work
on the American plantation had to
be abandoned.
1t would seem possible from this
that what has happened on Molokai
may in future decades be repeated

PUBLIC ROADS.

PUBLIC ROADS.
From investigation we find that
the roads of the parish in excel
ent condition with almost no ex.
ception. We urge with all earnest
ness that the per capita tax and
vehicle tax be enforced by the par
ish authorities. Those taxes are
very light and are a burden to no
one; are the most equitable that
could be imposed. They reach every
one, whatsoever his condition OF
life may be and they are source
of great revenue for the depleted
treasury of our parish.
PARISH AND OTHER OFFICERS.
We commend with pleasure the
conduct of our officers and realize
that they are diligently perform
ing their duties
We call your attention to article
which is being openly
