CHAPTER XI.
A Scene Between Father and Daugh-
ter.

When Mildred entered the library
Lindsay was already there. He stood
before one Of the ranges Of bookshelves
and held a volume in his hand which,
for a moment after his daughters en-
trance. seemed to engross his atten-
ton. Mildred was sufficiently astute
to perceive that by this device he
struggled to compose his mind for an
interview of which she more than
guessed the import. She was Of a con-
stitution not easily to be driven from
her self possession; but the conscious
ness Of her fathers embarrassment,
and some perplexity in her own feel
ings at this moment, produced by
sense Of the difficult part she had to
perform, slightly discomposed her;
there was something like alarm in her
step. and also in the expression of her
features, as she almost stealthily
seated herself In one Of the large
lounging chairs. For moment she
unconsciously employed herself In
stripping a little flower that she held
in her hand of its leaves, and looked
silently upon the floor; at length, In
low accent, she said, Father am
here, at your bidding" Lindsay turned
quickly round, and, throwing down the
volume he had been perusing, ap-
preached his daughter with a smile
that seemed rather unnaturally to play
over his grave and almost melancholy
countenance, and 1t was with forced
attempt at pleasantly he said, as he
took her hand
Now, l dare say, you think you
have done something very wrong and
that have brought you here to give
you lecture"
Il hope, father, have done nothing
wrong" was Mildred's grave and al
most tremulous reply.
Thou art a good child, Mildred
said Lindsay drawing chair close be-
side hers and then, in more serious
tone. he continued, "you are entirely
sure. my daughter, that love you, ana
devoutly seek your happiness?"
Dear father, you frlghten me by
this solemn air. Why ask me such
question:"
Pardon me, my girl, but my feelings
are full with subjects of serious import
and l would have you believe that what
l have now to say springs from an
earnest solicitude for your welfare
You have always shown it, father"
81 come to speak to you, without
reserve. of Tyrrel," resumed Lindsay
and you will not respond to my con-
fidence. unless you answer me in the
very truth of your heart. This gentle
man. Mr.. Tyrrel. has twice avowed to
me of late an earnest attachment 10
YOU and has sought my leave to pros
ecute his suit. Such things are not
apt to escape a woman's notice, ana
YOU have doubtless had some hint of
his prediction before he disclosed 1t
to me-"
All the woman's bashfulness disap-
peared at this announcement. Mildred
grew erect in her seat, and as the ma
tive pride of her character beamed
forth from every feature of her face
she replied
HE has never, father, vouchsafed to
give me such a proof of his good opin-
ion. Mr.. Tyrrel is content to make his
bargain with you; he Is we'll aware
that whatever hope he may be idle
enough to cherish. must depend more
on your command than on my regard.

greater than that which the Territory
row carries. 1t was likely at any time
to fall under the dominion and rule of
a greater power. but today it is as
strong and stable as any nation on
earth because it is a part of the Unit
ed States.
No people owe a greater debt of
grGtftude than the Hawaiians, hnc
none should be more in sympathy with
our institutions They should bear
their burdens of taxation and what
ever else is necessary to be borne to

mainland. There was expended last
year in the building of permanent roads
and bridges over $3.50, 900, and when we
consider that the islands are but little
larger than the average Congressional
district one can realize what this ex-
penditure should mean. Hawaii has
better roads at present than ever be-
fore. 1t would like to build other
roads, bridges and schoolhouses, pro-
vided the United States will pay for
| them. In every Congressional district
in the country there is urgent demand
for the same kind of improvement.
Should the General Government pay
for them simply because they are de-
sired and would be of advantage to the
local communities where the expendi-
lures We're made"
We object to the bill because it es-
tablishes a precedent which is danger
Gus and at the same time unnecessary.
If it is desired to assist Hawaii, why
not give the assistance directly? We
will join the majority in any bill which
gives proper relief as we see it, If they
are concerned to pay the indebtedness
which the Territory now carries, which
was brought over from their Republic,
we will offer no dissent. If they will
provide for the payment of the fire
claims" bonds we will concur in their
action; if they seek to reimburse Ha-
waii for any money expended by the
Territory that should have been paid
by the United States We will assist
them by our votes in trying to secure
the necessary legislation.
If revenues are segregated. as pro-
vided by the pending bill, for twenty
mittee. for five years, then, at the end
of that period, there will be an ex- |
cellent precedent for it's extension.
Those familiar with legislation here
must know that if this course is begun
it almost necessarily means a perma-
nent segregation of customs duties.
The committee have argued as to Ha- =
waits needs and financial condition,
but, as we see it, have given no salts
factory reason for this segregation
scheme.
In determining Fiawaii's condition an
interesting comparison might be made
with Arizona, whose taxes last year
to 1.744.419. or s14.10 per
capita. If the Indians are left out,
then the tax would amount to S24. 40 per
capita. Larger in either event than

HUMoR OF THE HOUR

Ex-senator Lake Jones of Wayne

his passionate love OF fox hunting, was
talking with party of old time friends
In the lobby OF Columbus hotel re.
Gently.
Il have an aunt said Jones, who
has most pronounced ideas of right and
wrong and rather exaggerated sense
of justice. Nearly thirty years ago she
bought piece Of property from her
brother in St Louis.
In a dozen years the property had
quadrupled In value. Today it is worth
ten or fifteen times what she paid for
1t. As the value advanced her worry
increased. Finally she mailed him a
check for $4,000. explaining that she
felt that she had not paid him what the
property was really worth.
He promptly returned it, saying she
had paid him all he asked for 1t and all
1t was worth at the time of the sale.
But she wouldn't take no for an an
swer and sent 1t back to him.
Now. don't you know" laughed
Jones, that check has been passing
back and forth through the mails be.

years"

meaningly.
NO" admitted Jones half sadly,

to bend each shoot carefully down TO

USE or WIDE TIRES.
How They Acct Traction on Various
Kinds of Highways.

How They Affect Traction nm Various
Kinds of Highways.
The effect of wide tires on traction
ON different classes OF roads is well
shown, says the New York Engineer.
nng Record, In some experiments made
Sy the civil engineering department of
the Iowa State college.
The tires were one and five-eighths
and three and one-eighth inches wide.
On well drained earth road OF good
grade the traction with wide tires was
q little higher with slushy snow. and
while the frost was coming out and aat
other times 1t ranged twenty pounds
less to the same figure as with mar
row tires. On a badly drained earth
road with poor grades, subjected to
heavy travel. the wide tires required
less traction than the others In dry
weather and more when there was
mud.
On we'll built, well drained gravel
road the narrow tires required less
traction except when the surface was
wet or covered with loose gravel. On
road OF fine sand with It's surface
fat with the ground the wide tires re-
Quired less pull in every case. On
well drained gravel road with clay
binder the traction with narrow tires
was lower than that with wide tires
only when the surface was smooth and
dry. and about the same facts were
observed with experiments ON well
drained cinder road under heavy
travel.
