CHAPTER TX,

Paul's Departure From Metlakahtla.
Paul Millers discovery that the
white man prospecting on the island
was one of the men who had captured
the hermit, and beyond doubt one of
the four who had robbed him, for
moment deprived him of speech. He
had his own reasons for not wishing
to be recognized by the man who had
robbed him and attempted his life. He
also had strong reasons for wishing
to have him held a prisoner. He be-
lieved the man could unfold the whole
story Of the robbery and mystery of
the hermit, and determined to make
him do so before leaving the island.
After a rev moments the babel of
voices without ceased, and the crowd
gathered near the house began to dis
perse. The thought then occurred to
his mind that the prisoner, having
been arrested for trespassing, might
be released on his solemn promise
never to return. With this new dan
ger in his mind he started toward the
door, when he was met by Father Dun

oner?" he asked anxiously.
"He has been sent to the prison to
be detained for a while until certain
mysteries with which he is connected
are cleared up" said the old man.
Father Duncan, do you think the
fellow is secure? Do you think there
is no danger of his escape?"
None whatever. My Indians are
very watchful and careful. They will
obey me to the letter."
Then let us sit here and compare
notes for few moments"
He seated himself by the old mis-.
sionary and told him Of his rescue by
the mysterious old man of the noun
tains whom he had called the hermit.
Then he told Of the capture of the her.
nit, and concluded with:
This man was one of the three who
seized the good old man and took him
away from the cavern
The interest of good Father Duncan
Increased, and he shook his head, say
ing:
= This is certainly very, very
= strange"
There is mystery in it all which
I am unable to solve. l cannot COM
prehend who this strange hermit can
be, unless he is the captain to whom
you refer"
ut looks very much as If the unfor-
tur ate man was the beloved captain
whose mysterious disappearance has
occasioned so much distress"
Paul remembered the story which
the ex-sailor, Glum Ralston, had told
him of his captain. and also recalled
to his recollection the mysterious wal
rus hide.
His anxiety to escape from the
island and return to the Kondyke.
where his friends were, was more
than over-balanced by desire to
learn something Of the motives of
the trespasser.
"Mr. Duncan, will your friends see
that he does not escape?"
There is little danger of his doing
So" Father Duncan answered. MY
friends are kind and Christian men,
yet they have by no means lost their
native watchfulness."
Paul had ample proof, in time, Of
the danger of over-confidence. The
third night after his visit to the Jail
he was awakened by loud noise in
the direction of the little wharf.
There came the report Of gun,
something rarely heard at Metlakah-
tia, and he leaped from his bed hur-
riedly dressed and ran out upon the
street At last he met Father Dun

The statement made recently that
instead of "all having been gained"
by women, they are still struggling
for foothold has just received
practical illustration In Washington
city. During the last two years for
the fret time a woman has been per
mitted to enter the law department
of Columbian university in that city
and prepare for its degrees.
A paragraph has been going the
rounds setting forth the small num-
Der of women who voted in the re
cent municipal" elections in Massa-
.chusetts and asserting that the num-
her is constantly growing smaller.
In Boston, it is said, only 1880
women cast their ballots.
The fact is that women have no
municipal" suffrage in Massachu-
sets. In. 1879, in burst of gener-
osity, a law which never has been re-
pealed was passed by the legislature
providing that woman Fl years of
age who could stand the educational
test and who should give notice in
writing that she wished to be as
sessed a poll tax ($2) and who should
give, under oath, a statement of her
taxable property and be thereupon
assessed, and who should go at an
appointed time and register, and re-
peat this performance every year,
should be allowed to vote for school
trustees. She could not attend the
primaries and help select the candi-
dates; she could not vote for super
visors or any other oficialsy nor for
appropriations for new schoolhouses,
nor in the selection Of teachers, nor
on any question connected with the
public schools, but simply could make
a choice Of trustees from ballot pre-
pared without her sanction.
Under these conditions men pretend
to be shocked and grieved that the

on the race problem, which was pub

must be the sword and shield of all
the people of democracy. In a
monarchy 1t is the duty of the mobiles
to guard, protect and help the sub

as ours the ballot is absolutely the
only protection of the citizen, and 1t
is as necessary in the long run to the

Jones, in spite of being a really
kindly, honest fellow, with a loving

slave to drink. Night after night he
went home in state which made his
little wife heartsicS, until she with a
wonan's ready wit. devised scheme
and with the aid Of the family physi,
clan gave Jones such a shock that no
probably never will drink again.
Like many other men, Jones usually
lost all recollection Of his actions
after he had reached a certain period
Of intoxlcation. When, Ave or six
weeks ago, he arrived at his home in
a 1T state for the experiment, his
wife had him put to bed. AS he lay
there, dead to the world, the doctor
put his right leg into casing Of plas-
ter of paris and splints, taking care
to bind them so tightly that when
Jones recovered consciousness all
sense of feeling would have left the
limb.
IL was a pathetic scene, mixed with
grim humor when Jones awoke the
next day, and was told that in trying
to find the keyhole he had fallen down
the area and broken his leg. His re-
morse was augmented by the pressure
on his leg, which the doctor took pains
to keep alive at each successive dress
ing, and by the time that Jones had
been lin bed a month all desire for
stimulants had left him.
