would serve as a means of attracting
purchasers of real property in these
districts, and thus be the means
of additional improvements being made
: Thousands of dollars have been put in
! circulation in the last two or three
years by landhoIders in the districts in
question by the erection of residences,
thus assisting labor and the building
interests generally, not to speak of the
! beautifying of these districts. We
! therefore respectfully invite the atten-
| ton of the Board of Supervisors to the
! deplorabl condition Of Waialae road
/ and most earnestly solicit the action of
the board that conditions may be
speedily ameliorated."
Chairman Smith told S. I. Shaw, who
presented the petition, to inform his
Improvement club that the matter
would have the boards early attention.
Two or three other petitions from
disgruntled property-owners were read
and a successor TO Road Overseer Ke-
anu of Koolau was suggested in the
person of John Asing by some enthu-
siastic admirers.
A TARDY INVESTIGATION.
incidentally It dawned on the board
that no step had been taken in the
Keanu-Paele investigation. Chairman
Smith said that it was high time the
matter was attended to and an effort
made by the committee to reach koolau
today.
Lucas ordinances relating to curling
of sidewalks and automobiles were
read, the first being read by title for
the first time and the second passing
second reading.
THE PAIL ROAD.
Solomon Peck wanted q rock-crusher

MOUNTED POLICE OF CANADA
Have Made Splendid Record in the
Northwest Territory.

Readiness for duty in any form has
made the Royal Northwest Mounted
Police what they are-the trusted
guardians of life and property in west
ern Canada, says the World To-day.
Their field is from the United States
boundary to the arctic coast. and in
this vast territory a thousand miles
from south to north. 500 scarlet-coat-
ed men keep peace and order. Through
any part of It, prairie, wilderness or
woods, a defenseless woman may go
alone and have no fear. To make
thus easy the travellers way meant
years of vigilant policing, and even Of
fighting. Those were stirring times,
when mounted police service had zest
and glory To-day there is less glory
and more hard work: for, as the coun-
try is setting farther north, the police,
too, are moving up and widening their
beats Smugglers on the border,
thieves on the ranches, criminals in
the settlements, fires in the forests,
to guard against these and to repre-
sent the law in land that would cas-
lily be lawless are their duties to-day;
and to these have now been added the
carriage of the mails in the extreme
North and the protection. of the whale
fisheries on the arctic coast.

Political "PulI, Not Necessary.

Postmaster Wilcox of New York has
given signal proof that political pull"
is not supreme in his office. Recently
the SUPPLEMENTARY of mails became
vacant and the postmaster consulted
one of his associates about eligible
members of his staff, inquiring partic-
ularly about a Mr.. Roome. His ad-
wiser replied that the man mentioned
was the best man for the place, but
was not an applicant for the promo
ton. A further inquiry as to the rea-
son for Roome's modesty brought out
this interesting bit of information:
He had not applied because he knew
he had no chance of getting it. He
did not know single politician. Mr..
Wilcox sent for Roome and after some
conversation, which showed the lat
ter's efficiency, named him for the va
cancy and he is now superintendent OF
mails.

ALIEN INVASION OF CANADA.
Figures Of Yearly immigration Are
Enormous.

The Canadian authorities estimates
the total immigration into Canada up
to June 30, the figures for June and
May not being final, at 14S,26l, as
against 13O,33O for the preceding MS
cal year. In proportion to population
this is equivalent to an immigration OF
about two millions into the United
States, or twice the volume the Re-
public is actually receiving. 1t repre-
sents foreign dilution of the popu-
lation of Canada by two and one-hat
per cent. of it's total amount, and II
it were maintained on the same scale
1t would eventually submerge the ma
tive Canadians in foreign majority.
The evidence of Mr.. w. ID. Scott, I'M
migration superintendent, and DR.. r.
H. Bryce, chief medical inspector, be-
fore a parliamentary committee con-
veys the rather surprising informa-
ton that Canada Sits her immigrants
more carefully than the United States.
According to their figures Canada has
rejected one applicant in every 29o
and the United States only one in ey-
cry 2,665.-Collier's.

CHAPTER XII.

An hour before sunset the fog rolled
up, revealing the man-of-war anchored
near enough for the men on her deck
to be seen plainly without the aid OF
a glass. The anchors of both vessels
were raised at once, and the chase
was renewed, with the pursuer not
mile away, and heading about south
west. which would soon bring her
within range Of the brigantine, whose
course lay due west.
A curl of smoke soon rose from
the Englishman's deck, and few
seconds later there came the report
Of a gun. "A pressing invitation for
rs to show our colors." remarked La
fitte, as he watched the shot strike
the water.
A short time passed, with the BLACK
Petrel's'' crew uneasy and Lopez
swearing softly in his native tongue.
The pursuer then began more per
sistent firing with her bow-guns, but
none OF the shots reached their mark.
Presently LATTE, who was standing
near Lopez, asked quietly, How would
a shot work now? Try, and see.'
The old gunner, with shout due to
his long depressed feelings, set about
leveling his gun, calculated the dis
lance, and obtained the proper eleva-
ton.
There was a report, soon followed
by trembling of the enemy's spars:
and the brigantine's crew crowded to
see the result.
"You have struck their foremast
lust below the futtocks," announced
LATTE. looking through his glass
AYE, sir; and ! will sing them an
other such sweet song said Lopez
coolly. watching his men reload the
gun.
The enemy had meantime come a
little closer, and was dropping shot
viciously about the brigantine.
Lopez, make haste with the gun!"
cried Laro, with an oath. Give them
. dose such as will set them to re-
pairing damages, and"-turning to the
crew-"should she get close enough

Diary kent Four Centuries.

The oldest diary in existence Is said
to be that preserved in the Japanese
family of Hozaka. 1t has been duly
maintained by the various heads or
the family for four centuries. An
English commentator notes that about
twenty years ago dispute over prec-
edence arose between two branches OF
the family and that this was promptly
settled by recourse to the diary and
the discovery OF the record OF din
ner given 200 or 900 years ago by the
head OF the family to the founder OF
the side line.

And said for his part he'd be 1ree'
And all his girl acquaintance quite
Believed it, yet kept up the chase,
For each also believed he might
Make an exception in her case.
And so-the man was quite eaten

And feelinglv discussed the match,
They jumped upon the bride. you BET
They tore her into little bits;
They pitied him, his taste deplored-
In brief. they gave that couple hts.
And felt their selfrespect restored.
Such things have happened. sad to say.
Before, and will occur again.

Those other girls for getting mad
They'd lost forever In this game
The chances that they never had.

was stilled forever.
Lafitte's heart repeated the prayer,
as he folded the dead mans hands
across the broad chest and scarcely
had he done this when he was startled
by the noise of a commotion above
him.
Stopping only to draw blanket
over the face and form of the dead. he
went on deck, where a number of ex-
cited men were gathered on the side
toward the enemy. His glance had al
ready followed the direction of their
eyes. and he saw one of the BLACK
Petrel's' smallest boats being rowed
by the Indian, Ehewah, toward the
English vessel; and clinging to It.
| while his hoarse voice poured forth a
volley OF menacing words, was Lopez
Lopez had loosed one of his hands
from the boats gunwale, and drawing
his knife, hurled it at the Indian; but
Ehewah lodged, and it fell into the
sea. He then rowed on, and Lopez
no longer shouting. attempted to draw
| himself over the stern of the boat.

At this. the Indian had stopped row.
ing, and struck the gunner over the
head with an oar, continuing the blows
until Lopez released his hold and sank
from sight.
A boat which had been lowered
from the English ship was now seen
pulling rapidly to where Ehewah, still
pausing, appeared waiting for the gum
ner's body to rise.
showing an agile strength one would
not have accredited to his slight
frame drew 1t into the boat.
The crew of the brigantine saw Ehe
wah parley with the men from the
enemy's vessel, after which he rowed
and LATTE, watching through his
glars, saw the form of Lopez carried
aboard In their midst
LATTE, bidding Garonne accompany
him, went below, to Laro's cabin. Ga
rome lit the brass lamp swinging over
the small table. and turned to LATTE,
who stood looking about him, as II for
some sign OF Ehewah's treacherous in
tention, when the CLEAN of gold
band, hanging over Laro's bunk,
caught their eyes.
It was a bracelet which the Indian
had always worn upon his naked arm
since the day Laro placed 1t there,
in burst of gratitude to Ehewah for
having saved his life.
Both LATTE and Garonne knew
enough OF the Indians tribe-lore to
understand that this was Ehewah's
mute announcement Of ended friend
ship and loyalty.
"He doubtless stole in here to per-
form what to him was a religious rite,
and having hung Laro's gift where we
found II, went his way, intending to
attempt that which he has now ac-
complished.' unused LATTE aloud.
Then, as IL struck by an after
thought, he went to Laros bunk. and
throwing aside the rich draperies, dis
closed heavy wooden locker
Its lid was. contrary to custom,
locked: and when LATTE opened 1t. a
disarranged collection OF papers and
canvas bags showed within.

HUXLEY LIKED HIS TOBACCO.
Scientists Testimony Rather Discon.
certinq to Hearers.


Prof. Huxley was invited on one oc-
casion to take the chair at an anti
tobacco meeting. In brief opening
speech he related a personal incident.
He was visiting a friend, with whom
he had animated discussions on a re-
cent scientific discovery in which they
were both deeply interested How
ever, there was one point on which
we differed" continued the professor.
