looked surprised when Harry came
around, gave her quiet kiss and hasten
ed out of the room. She did not know
that he went out to hide the great love
that was surging in his heart until it be-
trayed itself in his face, for this beauti-
full, blue eyed woman whom he felt must
surely be the donor.
Katie went to school and prepared her
self for a teacher. The $50 became the
| foundation of much good, for by and by,
with Katie's help, a tiny little cottage
was rented outside the city and fitted up
into coy little home.
Then Harry promoted, and he
showed such admira BILE tact for business
that after four years he became a junior
partner. Then his success was steady
and upward.
Katie married, but Harry remained a
bachelor, with the memory of a sweet,
fair haired, blue eyed woman enshrined
in his heart. He could never marry while
the memory of her remained.
One evening while sauntering up and
down the beach of little seaside town.
where he had run for a few days vaca-
ton. he met a lady talking to a small
child. His heart beat wildly. 1t was the
one he worshped above all others.

her hand; Mrs. Lambert. l have been
Il widow two years. This is my little
boy And she turned the little curly
headed child about.
Il did not know you were married. he
stammered.
Il married two weeks after l left my

THANK heaven, she is freer' he said
to himself, drawing a sigh of relief.
He found her just as frank and win
ming as she had been on that eventful
evening long ago. Day after day he
fingered at her side. Did she love him?
Sometimes he thought she did. At last
he could endure his love no longer, and
one evening by the sea, under the pale
moon, he told her all-told how the
money had come in an hour of need and
helped his little sister and how her com
forting words had cheered him on
through all the years.

he said. Now l know you win think l

drainage as those up the valley. The
plan we should prefer, as matters
stand, would be to get as much addi-
ton 10 the water increment as posi-
bic and then filter it all. BY that
means there might be water enough
and the outflow at the citys faucets,
whatever its quantity. would be pure.
How to increase the amount of
stored water is an easy problem if cost
is not considered. Merely make the
present reservoirs big enough to hold
several extra millions of gallons or
build a new reservoir further toward
the Pail in the rain belt, and the
thing is done. In some seasons as
much as eighty inches of rain fall in
Nuuanu. Twelve inches in a snort
season is enough to keep the $780,
100000 gallon reservoir back of Ma
tional City, California, supplied for a
year and a half. Between the Nuuanu
rains and the almost daily showers on
the Koolau peak, a large enough reser-
yoir in the valley would, therefore,
solve the most serious water problem
we have. But the cost wouIa be great.
The thing is. if possible, to get an
abundant and never-failing supply for
the reservoirs which exist and not pay
too much for 1t.
Can this be done? Colonel Soper.
who has looked into the matter Sc
riously. thinks that the artesian head
is too low to be reached by a we'll driv-
en- at the storage place. Very likely
this is true But would it not be pos
sible to develop a water supply by a
tunnel projected into the great ridge
Waikiki of Misunderstanding of the
order of the Sutro tunnel that drains
the Comstock mines? OF course this
device would be costly, too, if one had
to go far but a boiling spring might
be struck in a few-score rods. The way
to find out If water could be tapped
within a practicable distance would be
to test the mountain side with a dia-
mond drill. Who knows but a days
gimleting would start flow? II it did,
the tunnel could follow and the reser-
voirs would be fed abundantly.
But in any event have filtration
Even the artesian water might be i'm
proved by that if anything can BE
judged by the report made a short
time ago that there is more febrile
sickness in the artesian district than
there is in the locality which the Nu-
uanu valley supplies.

THE WATER PROBLEM.

Colonel Soper thinks the money pro-
posed for the filtration of water in the
Nuuanu reservoirs could be better
spent in getting a supply of water that
does not need filtering. If there were
such a supply available for Nuuanu we
should be inclined to agree with this
view, but unfortunately even If an ar
tesian flow were developed there It
might be more or less contaminated in
reservoirs so much exposed to surface

THE POWER OF LOVE.

As far as are the heavens from the earth
Is your own world from mine;
The world which you adorn by right of
birth.
By right of beauty, womanhood and
worth,
In which your talents shine;
Wherein you nobly won what you've ac-
Quired,
And now, as ne'er before,
Are loved by young and old, sought for,
admired
Welcomed at every door.
And vet you tell me that you did not
know
The love that fills my heart
The love for you | ever strive to show
From my own puny world so far below
From yours so far apart;
That We're it not for this you could not
be
To others what you are;
That you are so from what you are to
From my true love and care.
Such is the power of love, that like the
rays
or summers golden sun
Illumines our two worlds through all the
days.
And though our lives may follow parted
ways,
Still keeps our hearts as one.
One heart in duty, sacrifice and love,
One heart in truth and right,
Till in the happiness that hes above
Our two worlds shall unite.

An overwb eiming Thought.

Our sun is n third-rate sun, situated
In the milky way, one of myriads of
stars, and the milky way is itself one
OF myriads of sectional star accumula-
tions, for these seem to be countless,
and to be spread over infiinity At
some period Of their existence each of
these suns had planets circling around
it, which, after untold ages, are fit for
some sort of human beings to inhabit
them for a comparatively brief period,
after which they still continue for
years to circle around without atmo-
sphere, vegetation or inhabitants, as
the moon does around our planet. There
is nothing 30 calculated to take the
conceit out Of an individual who
thinks himself an important unit in the
universe as astronomy. 1t teaches that
we are less, compared with the uni
verse, than a colony of ants is to us,
and that the difference between men is
less than that between one ant and an.

From the Democrat. shelbyville, Ind.
Near WaldIon, Ind, resides Mr..
Robert White. one of the best known
farmers of the community. He is we'll

usual share of good fortune.
In his earlier days Mr.. White was
strong and athletic, but now while on
the declining side of forty, hard work
and disease have made him different
man, although today he is in good
health.
For number Of years he has been
troubled with rheumatism, catarrh of
the head and stomach. Often in bad
weather his ailments would be aggra-
waited and he would be in a serious con-
dition.
When the grippe visited this section
seven years ago, Mr. White was one Of
those attacked by this fearful disease
a was confined to his bed for several
days. After recovering enough to sit
up for few days, concluded he was
well enough to get out about his work.
He went out too soon. Most all pa
tients do that. He had q relapse and
was confined to his bed for several
weeks. His old disorders became
greatly affected. The efforts of his
physician, who had been attending
him all the time, proved unavailing.
The doctor was dismissed. Several 9TH
ers were tried but their treatment was
useless.
Mr.. White doctored himself and used
many remedies said to be good for his
diseases, but he was not helped.
He went TO Matisville and took the
baths, but they did him only tempor-
ary good. 1T seemed impossible to
get relief" said he, land did not
know what to do.
