CHAPTER TX.

PauIs Departure From Metlakahtla.
Paul Miller's 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 Iew 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
can.
What have they done with the pris-
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 a 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
init. 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 a mystery in 1t 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"
1T looks very much as II the unfor-
turate 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
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-confldence. The

A NEW DEcALoGuE.
Ten New Commandments That Are
Plain and Practical.

Ten New Commandments That Are
Plain and Practical.
A new ten commandments, which
the people of Reggie in northern Italy
have lately adopted is OF wide inter
est. This new decalogue is not pri-
marily for grownups, but for the chill
dren of the town, and it is expected
that the little folks will, in their
schools, learn the ten rules by heart.
Love thy schoolmates, for they will
be thy co-workers for life.
Love knowledge, the bread of intel
lect. Cherish the same gratitude to-
ward thy teachers as toward thy faith
er and mother.
Make every day thou livest the oc-
casion for some good and beneficial
deed; always SOW the seeds of kind
ness
Honor good men and true women,
esteem all men as equals. bend thy
knee to no one.
Do not bear hatred to anybody;
don't insult people. The word revenge
shall not be in thy vocabulary, but
stand up for thy rights and resist op-
preston.
Don't be a coward; stand by the
weak and respect and love justice
Remember that all goods of this
world are the products of labor. Who
ever takes the good things of this
world without giving their equivalent
in labor robs the diligent of their just
dues. ,a,a - -.tt
Exercise thy mind; observe and
think and try to ascertain the truth
of all things. Believe in nothing mys-
terious, in nothing unreasonable; use
no deception either toward thyself or
others. as.
Do not assume that to be patriotic
one must hate other nations or glory
in war. War is relic of barbarism.
Let it be thy purpose in life to
hasten the day when all men. as free
citizens Of free state, shall live in
peace and happiness. in true brother
hood.

The first time the boartlerS saw La

one of those grand occasions which in

In Manila. When it comes to observ-
ing saints days there is more religion
to the cubic inch in the Tagalo than in
any other living creature. Wild horses
could not drag him to his ordinary vo-
cations on such day In the morn
ing he stands at the street hyirant
with as little clothing on him as the
law allows. none at all if there be no
policeman by. and pours water upon
himself till he is wet all over, which is
his idea of taking Il bath. Then he
dries himself in the sun. puts himself
into his new embroidered holy week
shirt and smokes and meditates and
sometimes steps out to church in all
his glory.
The little brown TagalO wife, more
modest and devout, pours water over
herself in her own little patch of back
yard. Sreases her black hair with CO.
coanut oil patting it down till it shines
Ike a mirror, then dons her crandest
attire and goes to church.
1t was on her way to church that the
boarders first saw I.avandpria attired
in the style of Filipino high art and
fashion. She was barcheadcd, and be-
hind her in the dust dragged some
eighteen inches of the rounded red cot

The board of health should take
strenuous steps to stop the spread of
small pox in this city. The fact that
in some of the schools there has been
danger of contagion should awaken
the health board and school officials
to instant and effective action. There
has been too much carelessness upon
the part of parents of school children
in allowing then to attend when there
is contagion in the home. II this can
be corrected in no other way, arrests
should be made and the guilty parties
punished. In many instances quaran-

HANNA FOR PRESIDENT IN
1Q0d

There is alarm in the Roosevelt,
camp. The splendid showing made by
Hanna in Ohio and the very poor Re-
publican results in New York, Roose-
velt's state. have rounded out and In
fiated the boom of Senator Hanna for
the presidency of the United States.
1t is agreed by leaders of the party
that the distinguished gentleman may
now have the nomination for the ask
ing.
The reticence of the senator on this
subject previous to the election just
closed may now be understood. He was
waiting until his candidacy might be
announced with all the authority of a
tremendous endorsement in his home
state.
Now the time is ripe and Hanna will
be heard from. In interviews Wednes-
day he declined to discuss this phase
of the question "at this time" the in
ference being thst something is coming
little later on.
Roosevelt may be well apprehensive.
The vast following Of Mckinley win
be found back of the Ohio senator and
this, together with his own great
strength, will certainly be potent
enough to overcome any opposition at
the national convention of his party
in 1904.
