WHERE A LITTLE SELF SACRi.
FICE MIGHT HAVE AVERT
ED A TRAGEDY.

well, JIM" said old Mr.. Der
mot, cts extravagant, | know, but
| am rich and can afford $1,000
Here is the money for that dia'
mond pin" And Jim put the roll
of bills into\ his pocketbook and
hurried away. At the corner he
came plump against his cousin
Elwil Warner. Elwil was no older
than Jim, but he had been married
six years. He wore shabby coat
and shoes that had been mended

ed splendidly.
Glad to see you," said Jim, "but
I'm in a hurry. Come end call on
u.s."
Thank you," said Elwil. "But
one moment, Jim. II was com.
ing to see you. Pm in trouble. ]
wish | was dead, JIM do, indeed
| haven't a cent. I've forestalled
my salary, and my wife is broken
down. | don't know how she'll
bear it. The landlord, you know
he-we--we are in arrears for
three months, and he threatens to
turn us out I've tried my best,
but there was that doctors bill,
and | had the misfortune to lose
money belonging to my employer.
I'm in miserable shape, but | could
fight it out if | had a hundred dol
lars. jim, can you help me? I'll
pay it back some day, on my honor.
It's life to me-"
For a moment Jim reflected. Why
should he give up his diamond for
Elwil? 81 really wish | could
oblige YOU" he said, but | cant"
Then he hurried away, not look
ing back. One glance at his cou-
sins pale face had been enough.
He went to the place appointed,
and bought his pin, but somehow
he took no pleasure in it. He had
not a bad heart and he thought a
good deal of Elwil. Poor Elwil!
Once he had beaten another boy
for Jim's quarrel. Once he had
given up the medal for his sake.
That was in their school days.
"Why did | not lend him the
money!" said Jim. Hang the dia-
mond!" Then he grew more gener-
Gus. "Tll go to see him, and if it
is as bad as he says, I'll sell the
thing and give him all he wants"
And he jumped into car and rode
to the street where Elwil lived.
At the orner policeman he
knew met him. Looking for those
poor folks?" he said. I'm sorry
for them. Decent people, they
seem. They've gone. She was very
sick; and he looked as though he
was going mad. They've moved
to rented room on Harvard
street"
Jim, flushed and anxious, hur.
ried away, and soon stood at the
door of a plain house

sending $1,200,000 worth. To coun-
tries other than the United States
Hawaii only exports about $4,000
worth Of goods a year. The COM
merce of Hawaii is carried in AM
erican ships and almost four-fifths
of all vessels entering and clearing
from the territory fly the Stars
and Stripes.
A vast amount of Hawaii is
owned in the United States. There
are estimated to be 81 sugar plant
ations on the islands and 80 stock
and sheep ranches. The population
of the islands is only about 100000
and the total area of all the islands
is but 6449 miles, or just enough
to make a good sized county in
some big western state.
Passing of the Native.
Fifty years ago there was a pop
ulation of 100000 native Hawaiian
islanders. Now the number of pure
natives in the islands is estimated
at less than 10000. The blood,
however, is everywhere evident.
They have intermarried with Por-
tuguese, Japanese, Germans and
Americans, producing a large, fine
looking race, and, with their songs
and simple pastimes, they seem
wonderfully in consonance with the
sleepy tropic beauty of the Hawaii
an islands.
Population Increasing.
The population of Hawaii is now
rapidly increasing to keep pace
with modern progressive condi-
lions. The Hawaiian has finally
adapted himself to civilization and
he is leader in the affairs of the
islands, able to cope with the av-
erage Anglo-Saxon on any public
question. The royal family are still
held in regard in Hawaii and it is
common to see the natives wear
ing the royal emblem.
