good friends who were there to help.
l wished to be alone, to yield to the
sweet mood that the thought Of her
brought me. The doubt that crept
through my mind as to any possibility
of connivance between her and Picker
ing was as vague and fleeting as the
shadow of swallows wing on a
sunny meadow.
You don't intend fighting the fact
Of your absence, do you?" demanded
Larry, after long silence.
"Of course mott" l replied fiercely.
Pickering was right on my heels, and
my absence was known to his men
here. And it would not be square to
my grandfather.-who never harmed a
flea, may his blessed soul rest in
peace!-to lie about it. They might
nail me for perjury besides"
Then the quicker we get ready for
a siege the better AS l understand
your attitude, you don't intend to
move out until you've found where the
siller's hidden. Being a gallant gen
tleman and of forgiving nature, you
want to be sure that the lady who is
now emitted 10 IL gets all Inere is
coming to her, and as you don't trust
the executor any further than a true
Irishman trusts British prime minis

correct analysis of your intentions ?"
That's as near one of my ideas as

Spoken like man of spirit. And
now we'd better stock up at once, in
case we should be shut off from our

SPAIN FAR BEHIND NATIONS.
IIIitsraey Prevails There to . Most
Amazing Extent.

OF the 10000. 900 people inhabiting
Spain, only about IS per cent. can
read and write; another two and one
half per cent. Of the population can
read without being able to write, but
the remaining 62h per cent are alb
solute illiterates. In the south Of
Spain 1t is impossible to get a serv-
ant who can read and write. and
many Of the postmen are unable to
tell to whom the letters they carry
are addressed. They bring a bum
die of letters to house and the
owner looks through them and takes
those which are Tor which he thinks
are) addressed to him. The Spanish
postmen are not paid by the state:
the recipient of the letters have to
remunerate them according to the
amount Of their correspondence. and
each letter costs the addressee at
least one cent. 1t Is Joke among
the easy-going Spaniards that he who
treats the postmen best receives the
most letters-whether they are In
tended for him or not

irascibility. was driving along Il nor

woman, who was returning from the

Insurance Rates
Merchants Find
Are Not Too High

MEETING LNaL the insurance rates polu
in this city By the business commit
nifty are fair and reasonable, and that
it would be bad policy to ask for a
reduction thereof at the present time.
The matter of insurance rates was
brought before the association
through the efforts of James Wake
field of Davies & Co., who prepared
statements and statistics showing
that, the rates here were too high and
the profits of the insurance companies
for the past four years excessive. In
the past four years, according to Mr..
Wakefield's figures, the premium rev.
cnues for 1903-4-5-6 totalled ST.
! ,225, while the losses only amour
ted to $40S,626, the net earnings, de-
Quoting reserve, operating expenses
and losses being 1925 per cent. of the
premiums. The average rate during
these four years in Honolulu has
Leen l.SO per cent, while the aver
age throughout the United States for
the past thirteen years has been only
