It too plain that many Of them arc there for

ATTORNEY GENERAL MONTAGUE. in his

my kind of sick come tell you take
me away, take me to doctor. 1 no
make trouble; 1 go Molakai, and not
hurt my loved friends"
Miss Blank, herself blinded by tears,
ordered the horse, and soon she and
Maria were driving down the white
coral road. Through the brilliant sun
shine they drove, past the green rice
fields, the tall palms, the glorious
blossoming trees. How beautiful the
world was! How dreadful the world
was!
Maria saw it all as in a dream, the
familiar street, the flowers, the wind
tossed branches. Her eyes were fixed
on the sea, and beyond-where lies the
leper island of Molokai, from which
place Of exile there is no return.
DIR. Knight was so kind, so sympa-
thetic, but feared the worst. He asked
for consultation. The physician called
in agreed with him, but promised moth
ing hasty should be done-the girl
should be given every chance. 1t was
decided, instead of sending her to the
suspect station, where other leper sus-
poets are held pending the final de-
cisions of the board of physicians.
that she might live for a few months
in a cottage by herself. That day she
was moved, babe farewell to the house
that had sheltered her for many hap
Ply years.
They would not, could not, let her
go to Molokai, where are those hun
dreds of loathsome lepers. They sent
her to Japan, the goal that lepers who
can afford it go to for the baths and the
japanese treatment of the disease.
And now there comes back word TO
those friends in Honolulu who cared
for her and gave her that one great
chance in japan that Maria's charms
have captivated the heart OF Japa-
nese noble, captivated him so strongly
that he has taken her as his wife and
will make the days she has to spend on
this earth as happy as it is possible to
make them.
But Maria's fate is sealed. She is a
leper. God grant that some day the
baths" or the sea engulf her and she
be spared the later stages of the dis
ease, the living death.

witty and graceful in action and word,

might envy, with a natural taste one
could but marvel at, with a wit that
charmed but never stung.
Was there bit of drapery about the
house that my lady's hands bungled
with? Maria was called in and in
moment the perch on the stepladder
was reached, turn with the tapering
fingers and the silk lay in true folds.
She passed the hibiscus hedge, picked
a great red ribbon and carelessly put it
above her ear; on any one else it would
have looked queer and out of place; on
her it was perfect. A wedding was to
take place. Who could Irvine the MALE
so well? Who could dress my lady's
hair and place the white stephanotis
Just right? Who scatter laugh and a
word here and there and keep every
body in good humorr? Who but Ma

Who danced with such undulating
grace? Who frolicked in the sea as in
q natural element? Who rode with the
abandon and fearlessness of a cow
boy? Who helped save Akiahi, the ia
vorite saddle horse, after the veter-
mary pronounced his case hopeless?
Who looked after all the animals on
the place with tender, wise care?
Whose strong, shapely hands gave the
lomi-lomi (massage) to aching head
and wearied limbs of the overtiredI HUI
man? Who cheered, amused, loved, in
spired by her presence? Who was in
dispensable?
Although Maria was so charming,
she could be so naughty, so naughty.
She wouldn't mend her clothes if she
could help tit was such an easy mat
ter to pin a flower over a rent, and
surely no one will call a flower less
pretty than a patch. She would look
at the boys, and you may be sure they
looked at her. She would sit on the
grass, strum on guitar and talk
about-
"a ruby lip to kiss, love-"
when she should have been at her
tasks. She would, when she could seal
away, throw lasso over the head of the
widest horse in the pasture, mount
her captive and gallop madly about
among the startled steeds.

VI THAT does the name suggest?
w Something very different, 1 am
sure, from the figure confront

and is, her name.
1 remember well the first time | saw
her. 1t was in Honolulu. | thought
her the most perfect physical specimen
I had ever beheld. this haif-white girl,
this Spanish-Hawaiian beauty. Her
Spanish blood gave her the fire lack
ing in the Hawaiian and added, vivacity
and charm, which really, you know, it
is not necessary for the "half-white" TO
possess; they are dangerous enough
without.
1 asked her name and when told it
was Maria" laughed; it seemed so
incongruous. That name belonged
rather to staid, dignifed New Eng
land woman and not to this wild,
brown thing. The cognomen, one
would think, might have had steady
Ing influence on the girl, given her an
ideal to strive for, but quite the con-
trary was true; instead Of the name
Maria influencing the girl, the girl in
fueneed the name.
To me "Maria" stands for n laugh

flashing eyes, wavy mane; 1.-THE,
beautifully rounded form; the softest

Maria did not mean to be naughty.
She would tearfully listen to good lad
vices" as she called it, tearfully and
honestly promise to be good and obedi,
ent forever after, and straightway go
and disobey. But now all Maria's
naughtiness are forgotten. Now her
friends think of her only with the most
tender, most plying love.
said Maria laughed even when
pilikia threatened. But there came a
day when she did not laugh-a day that
never will be forgotten in the house
hold of which she formed part. One
morning. with languid step and lack
lustre eyes, she approached her kind
lady and when she was sure all were
out of hearing whispered something in
her ear. The listener started, sat as if
spellbound, grew white to the lips.
She said TO the girl:
''No, Maria, it cannot bel It cannot
be- You are mistaken, frightened"
The girl did not answer in words,
but hopeless look Swallowed her face.
What makes you think so? When
did you suspect it?"
