of small grotto. An old sail, partial
ly withdrawn, hung i'll front, and a
few blackened fagots lay on the
ground. Within could be seen the
PROSTATE forms of men and women
with glazed eyes and discOlOred faces,
while without a number of men, mostly
Chinese, were lounging. 1t was an
opium den and a rendezvous for opium
smugglers. Instantly they were sur
rounded by angry AsiaticS, and knives
were flashing in the sunlight. Frances
shrank close to the gentlemen with a
little scream.
"What do you want here" demand
ed a vicious looking white.
Nothing, my good man." Talmage
returned, taking in the situation.
"We're not going to trouble you at
all. We're just out riding for pleasure
and came on you quite by accident"
That's a lie You're spyin' on US"
''Not at all, my good fellow. Do the
police take ladies with them? Come,
man, you must know better. Wen do
YOU no harm. It's no business of ours
to help the government do its work"
"Well. see you don't" the fellow re-
turned, ''if you know what's good for
you"
GO on with Miss Van Aleu-" Os-
borne said to Talmage. Then turning
to the leader of the smugglers he add
ed: "What that gentleman said is true,
but the promise he made is for himself
only. | don't make it. You're making
beasts of those poor people in there"
The ruffian drew his knife and
sprang toward him with an oath. Yet
he did not strike. Osborne did not
move a muscle. Slowly, with red, saw
! age eyes fixed on the rider, the man
raised his knife almost to OsborRe's
shoulder and then deliberately laid the
forefnger of his other hand on the hilt
and Kissed: "You d missionary!
That's the deep that'll go in any man
what NEEDLES with us"
Osborne looked him in the face coolly
and steadily. Then he shrugged his
shoulders and quietly rode off, and
Miss Van Allen, who had been looking
on with white face, was able tc
breathe again. Before they reached
the crest Osborne dismounted by BIZ
of thicket and cut a stout cane with q
knob to it. "This is koa, l believe" he
said, "and takes fine polish"

At the summit they halted to rest thu
horses and enjoy the noble prospec
over land and sea. When at length
they were about to go down the cliff
they were surprised to see group O

of social problems IS to be found on
purely selfish basis. The banker re-
sponded by deriding missionary dreams
of brotherhood and denouncing social
reforms as thimblefuls Of blood fed to
the crouching tiger of discomfort.
In the morning Miss Frances and her
two cavaliers-her father and brother
We're needed on the plantation-went
off for a ride around the head. 1t was
a fine gallop along the shore for many
miles, and then ocean and mountain
met. The crowding, boisterous break
ers reached the cliff and, dashing highs
forced them to lead their animals up
sort of great track on the precipice's
naked face. Returning, at Talmage's
suggestion they took a narrow little
trail across the range. He had hit up
on it accidentally one day, he said, not
withstanding the ends of it seemed to
have been concealed by design. They
had mounted beyond the frequented
part of one of the mountain valleys and
had issued from the slippery bed of a.
small run when a little above them
the futtering garments of a Chinaman
were seen disappearing over a ledge.
Lets see what Johns up to-" said
the banker.
They pushed their horses, wound
among the rocks and, passing a crag,
shortly found themselves at the mouth

CONCLUDED !

When Miss Frances was able to ride
again he accepted an invitation from
her father to spend a few days at the
plantation of which that gentleman
was president and his son manager.
The three rode up the fair Nuuanu val
ley, through a short canyon beautiful
with luxuriant forest, swinging lianas,
cataracts of convolvulus and soaring
pinnacles of rock, and out of deep
cleft in the windward wall of the
mountains where the trade wind rushes
in with the vehemence of a flood pour
ing through a sluice. Then the visitor
opened his eyes, for the road chung to
the side of precipices thousands of feet
high, the long range Of them on either
hand standing up abrupt and stern
above the smiling, enchanted, titled
country and the blue and green deep
that broke silently on the white reefs
far, far below as though a race Of
Titans had raised them against the
westward march of civilization.
Down by the sea at WaiOwai planta-
ton Osborne had opportunity to study
what must always give pause to the
social refOrmer if he is thoughtful
and Osborne was a thoughtful reform
era great Industrial enterprise con-
Quoted on autocratic principles and
running with the accuracy of clock
work. He rode through the fields and
saw the Cinnamon slashing right and
left moving down the cane, the Jap
anese planting seed cane, the noisy
Kanakas driving the bullock carts and
the long lines of cars backed by the
locomotives through the standing crop
all under one controlling mind. He
explored the mill and watched the en-
gines as day and night they toiled
ceaselessly over their Herculean task
of producing a thousand tons of sugar
a month, and as he looked and thought
one question would assert itself: VIII
Industrial democracy ever show such
perfection of mechanism as this or
such magnitude or product?
Not least was he impressed with
Frederick Van Allen, young man in
whom executive ability had developed
into mastery without destroying hui
man feeling. "This," he said to him
self, as he looked into the resoiute,
handsome, kindly face, held well aloft,
''this is natures sceptered class"

sUMmL8 CAR OF BABIES.
How to Keep Them Wen and AIIevi-
ate Their Sunerings.


Half the sulferings of little children
and most of the deaths In summer
could be avoided If mothers only knew
how to do it, but the majority of moth
ers are young and inexperienced and
thus allow the conditions to exist
which cut down tlci little blossoms,
and then they cry 0, gainst the Prov
idence who has bereayed them.
In the first place, the diet Of little
children has a great part in their
health, and if the mother has small ex-
perience or the infant is delicate it
should be fed carefully under the Or
ders of a competent physician, and
above all no soothing strip or sleeping
powders should be given.
Strict cleanliness, proper clothing and
diet belong to the mothers province.
Beyond that, if the child is ailing, ac-
cept no neighbours remedies, but have
the family doctor and follow his direc-
lions implicitly. And have the doctor
as soon as the child looks pale, with
blue rings around it's eyes, for by tax
illness and possible death may be
avoided
One doctor said that more dangerous
summer complaints came from allow
ing little ones to sit on stone doorsteps
without anything under them than any
thing else and advised that all children
be provided with pieces Of carpet and
made to sit upon them. A chill is taken
affecting the bowels almost invariably
by sitting on the stone, which always
has a certain GOODNESS. The next thing
is to have a flannel shirt or wide band
next the skin, with a flap in front
reaching we'll down over the thighs.
When during the summer the child Is
fretful and writhes about it should be
undressed, and if it has the fine rash
called prckly heat, which Is a torture
to the little ones, the body should be
sponged with tepid water in which
baking soda or washing soda has been
dissolved. Both are alkalis and act
alike in allaying the suffering. A hand
full Of washing soda to gallon of wa
ter or a tablespoonful Of baking soda Is
right. Then tap, not rub, the body with
soft linen, after which dust the whole
surface with borated talcum powder.
The relief Is immediate and lasting.
1t is a wonder how little children
survive the summer errors of diet too
hot and uncomfortable clothing and the
heat of their carriages, as they are Of
ten left for hours in them, and above all
the deadly If slow poisons called sooth-
ing sirups and teething powders.

Fifty Years Of Agricultural Progress

The farm gardens, market gar
dens" and truck gardens" of to-day
are the producers OF a multitude OF
miscellaneous vegetables" almo' t
unknown fifty years ago. In the cen
sus of 1890 the large increase in gar
den products was recognized, and a
systematic count of their bulk and
value was made. 1t is possible, there
fore, to make ten year comparison
of the increase of such products and
this records the remarkable increase
OF from 100 per cent to 400 per cent
in the five several divisions of the
country. The North Atlantic states
had a we'll developed industry in gar
den products before 1890, which ac-
counts for its relatively low increase.
However, 100 per cent ia ten years,
while the population Increased only a
triae over twenty per cent, is amazing,
Could our great.grnnddaddies, who
thought tomatoes poisonous, and
our great-grandmothers, who grew
them as ornamental plants in win
dow pots. under the attractive name
of "love apples" come back and real
ize that over 30,000.O00 bushels OF
the pretty poisonous vegetables are
eaten as a common and healthlul
food, they would surely realize that
time works wonderful changes. An
other interesting statement is that
the lettuce of the south has so in
creased that in thespring of this year
North Carolina sent twenty carloads
of that vegetable north in a single
day.
Thirty five years ago celery was a
rarity even on hotel tables. and was
used by few families, even of wealth.

"Why, of course, but in what partic-

This discovery lent additional inter-

The juice can then be easily pressed

three quarts of water and four

Be One With Your Children

A mother should endpavor to r.
main as young in dispo.iton as her
children. When they are Infants she
usually does make herself childlike in
her ways in order to amuse them,
but as soon as they are able to play
at their own games she is apt to let
them go by themselves and DRIFT
away from her. Mary people can
look back on their youth and see
that their mothers took very little
part in their lives, contenting them
selves with the insisting on the per-
formance of certain duties, and Then
leaving them to go their own way
within ill.dtfned limits, says the
Chicago News. II is a MISTAKE to
take refuge in the statement, Oh, l
am getting too old to play sn1h

ton. Try to be one with them, one

happy. The mother who has always
been the companion of her daughters

ments of their lives she is their best

Lead a Regular Life.

Few persons understand the vale
of regularity of habits. Meals and
sleeping hours should be fixed ones,
for only harm can result from re-
firing one night at 10 and another
at II o'clock unless the rising hour
varies too. Eight hours of sleep one
night and six the next is not the
way in which to WOO and keep

ing nourishment is encouraged thee
is little hope of reaching old age il

cause it is a stilnulant. not because it

structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and

Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by wonen who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.

A RIGHT
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble. The reason is obvious.
This is a serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for the
future of his dear ones. Often the
heart trouble is caused by an uneX-
pected thing, and can be corrected if
taken in time and properly treated. A
man in Colorado writes:
81 was q great coffee Grinker for
many years, and was not aware Of the
injurious effects of the habit till l be-
came a practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretcAedly miserable myself and a
nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.

ever. not suspecting that it was the
cause of my ill-healIn, till. on applying
for life insurance I was rejected on &C
count of the trouble with my heart.
