HOW THE Willy JAPS PAY THE FEE

HONOLULU, H. l., Nov. 20
One has only to spend few hours
in this city, the capital of an
American province, to learn the
true state of public loyalty.
Honolulu is loyal to the mikado
Of Japan.
The Japanese residents of all
parts of Hawaii are sending mes
sages to Toxic, assuring the EN-
peror that in case of war they will
turn their arms against the United
States, and they pledge undying
faith to their native land.
J. A. Mitchell, an attorney of
Honolulu. tells me that the Japa-
nese are sending from 1000 to
1000 Japs per week from Honolu-
lu to Vancouver. and then getting
new recruits from Japan for Ha-
wall SO that the quota of Japanese
in the Hawaiian islands is kept at
10000, which is just twice the
number of Americans and natives.
Indeed, today nearly half the
population of the islands is Japa-
nese. and under proper leader
ship they could seize the islands
in a night.
John SmOns. formerly a
Kobe banker, says: Each Japa-
nese immigrant to the United
States is required to have $50 OF
our money before he can land.
HE always has it when he
lands.

ject. Lady Clara is a very nice girl
and | understand that she is rich
but she does not appeal to me in
the least. My dear Vera, surely
you are mistaken. Surely my uncle
must have guessed. he could not
be so blind as not to see-Vera,
dearest, cannot you understand

all this time without"
"Oh, no, no." Vera cried you

listen to you. | know that Lord
Ravenspur has set his heart upon
this marriage. and it would be the
basest ingratitude on my part if |
but what am | talking about?"
Il must sepak," Walter said
huskily Even at the risk of your
thinking me the most conceited
man on earth. Vera, have known
you ever since you were a little
girl. l have watched you change
from a girl to woman. | have
watched your mind expanding, and
gradually | have come to know that
you are the one girl in the world
for me. l have not spoken like this
before, because there seemed to be
no need to do so. Everything was
so natural. But if / have been
wrong. and if you tell me that you
care nothing for me-"
81 couldn't" Vera whispered. ooh
Walter, if you only knew"
Then you do care for me, dear
est. Yes, | can see it in your face,
there is always the truth in your
eyes. And now | can speak more
freely. You were going away from
here out of loyalty to my uncle
and because you deem it your
dut to sacrifice your feelings rather
than interfere with his plans. But
don't you see that any such action
on your part would be worse than
useleSS?"
Vera shook her head sadly. Wal
ter's arms were about her now, hel
head rested on his shoulder. Just
| for the moment they were abso
lutely oblivious to the world. They
heard nothing of the sound OF
voices as Lord Ravenspur's guests
drifted away; they were uncOn
scious that he was standing in the
doorway. now regarding them with
stern disapproval. He hesitated
just a moment, then he strobe into

The girl looked up with some
time like rebellion in her eyes.

A Voice in the Dark

A voice IN the Dark
Vera turned away and walked
quietly from the room, leaving the
two men face to face. Lord Raven
spur was the first to speak.
II am sorry for this" he said;
more sorry than | can tell you.
Strange how one should be so will

~ even the cleverest man will
overlook the inevitable. But | sup
pose | though that you two had
come to regard one another as
brother and sister. Oh, | am not
disputing your taste. There is not
more beautiful and fascinating
girl in London than Vera. 1t is only
natural that you should fall in love
with her. But she knows the views
have for you. She knows to what
an extent she is indebted to me-
That being so it is her plain
duty"
''My dear uncle, Walter broke

tonight | was struck by the unhap-
piness of her face, and. naturally,
| began to ask questions. 1t seems
an egotistical thing to say, but
Vera is as deeply attached to me
as | am to her, and that was the
source of her trouble. She had
made up her mind to go away. And
why? Simply because she knew
that she stood in the way of your
plans. 1t was only by mere acct

But all that is as nothing compared

self bitterly. My conduct has been
almost criminal. But, be that as it
may, there must be no engagement
between Vera and yourself. Don't
press me to tell you why, because
my lips are sealed and | dare not
speak. But, as you value your fu-
ture, | implore you to carry this

which is 20 try 10 bring him into dis
favor with his own people by seeking
to represent him as being lacking
In patriotism simply because of his

for these environments and the pro-

clined to correct any rumor repre-
senting him as intending to wage war
on account of the much-talked-of
Emergency Fund.
