Real estate like some OF our sugar
plantation propositions, is so full OF
water that it cannot contain nor
safely carry itself. Lease and rent
figures have, iu the past, heea out
OF all reason, and they are still
double what they. should be. An
influx of new people would have the
effect OF raising rents abnor mally.
This would benefit the landlords
but would come hard on the large
majority who have to pay rents.
There is normal rate of'inccme
from any investment, depending in
volume upon numerous eircum-

rentable property on Oahu has been
and is far above normal, even in this
season of DEPRESSION, can hardly be

Carstairs congratulated himself on
having such brilliant companion. The
stranger seemed able to talk on any
subject whatever.
After the meal they rang for coffee,
and Carstairs got up from his chair
and went to his overcoat pocket for
his cigarette case. AS quick as light
ming the stranger leaned over the table
and little dark powder slid into the
glass.
An hour had passed before Carstairs
came to himself. He experienced a
sickenlng sensation Of WEAKNESS as
he opened his eyes. Where was he?
The litter of the dinner things still lay
upon the table; two Of the red-shaded

coat. Great heavens! the dispatch was
gone.
His thoughts went back to Nell Cor

bered the strange manner Of her good

pocket. and his face changed from
night to morning as he read

minute he was waving the dispatch

So the dispatch was carried safely
to its destination, and Kenyon Car

his way to Carlshren before Carstairs
woke to consciousness.
Cecil Ackerson sat quietly in his
chair, waiting the arrival Of his mes
senger. He turned slightly as the door
opened.
The man with the black beard and
the keen eyes placed something care
fully on the table. He was smiling in
a satisfied kind of way.
Ackerson took 1t from the table, and
a key clicked in the lock Of the case.
The next minute he sprang to his feet.

TWO BIRDS.

Two birds few out of the South one day.
And over the joyous world
Each flung a melody loud and sweet
And gladly its tired wings fured.
And one bird high on the tallest tree
A place for its nesting found.
While humbly the other built its home
Low down on the common ground.
A Shrke flew by and it saw the nest
That swayed in the branches high,
But the low built nest of the humble
bird
He saw not and passed it by.
Which points the moral l wish to show;
Though fortune has cast your lot
Low down in the world with the humble
ones,
The ills that strike at the mansion oft
pass over the humble cot.
