are now strangers in their own land, admitted on to its sacred
soil only with reluctance by the masterful Turk.
Clinging to the memory of their glorious past, drawn near
to each other because of their common love for their peculiar
traditions and for their "Torah"-their solace through the
ages-they gather in colonies as near as possible to sites
theirs by right through inheritance, though not granted them
by the usurpers of their land. Driven through the centuries
from country to country, prosecuted for their religion and
massacred by the injustice of racial prejudice, they now flock
TO their own country, selling all they possess to pay the voy-
age and come to look upon the land where lived their patri-
aschs and prophets and to die and be buried on holy soil.
When once the Turk has let them enter in his port he is
a friend to them up to a certain limit. But, alas! Their most
sacred sites are all in his Jealous care, and the keys are held
in his tightly closed hands so that the places they crave most
80 gaze upon are forbidden ground to them. They can only

of the man who had all at once brought
a difference into her life, so gray and
dull.
1t was but little after seven when
Joy arrived at the hotel, eager to have
a few minutes alone with her sister,
whom she had not seen since her mar
riage three months ago.
She was shown upstairs to Violas
own suite of rooms, where she was
dressing for dinner. But was this Viola
who came quickly forward to greet her
this girl, or, rather, woman, with
naggard cheeks, hollow eyes, all her
girlish beauty gone?
"Viola!" cried JOY Mortified at the
change that she saw in her sister.

Viola, with a forced little laugh-that
laugh that always was meant to hide
her feeling.
Aren't you happy?" demanded Joy,
abruptly.

husband. 1 wish, with all my heart,

l envy the very maids in the hotel, and
scorn myself for my madness. 1 have

freedom"
Viola spoke rapidly, and with pas
sionate fierceness that amazed her SIS
ter, who had thought that riches would
satisfy so frivolous a mind; but they
had not, and the married girls lot was
a worse one than her own with the
fractions old maid.

quite pretty"

He had the glove off now, SO he
kissed the tip of each finger, sure that
there was no one near to see him in
the foolish act; and then he told her
that he was doing rather well, and
that if she liked she could earn her

provocative fashion and his head

WASHINGTON, January 3I.-Con-
gress has just passed three franchise
bills for Hawaii and both Senate and
House are doing something to clear up
the legislative situation of the session
as pertains to the Islands. An omnibus
territories bill, which will probably be
signed by the President before this
reaches Honolulu, has been completed,
including the two electric franchises
for Maui and the Wahiawa water
franchise. The two electric franchises
were put in the bl.i while it was in
conference.
The Senate also has just passed the
House bill to repay to the Territory
$23,000 expended in the maintenance
of lighthouses. This measure has been
a long time getting through Congress,
but now the repayment is as good as
assured. 1t will be a welcome addi-

being too arduous for his weak consti-

Clement built three churches and a

where he remained for one year, and
to Waiohinu, where he erected a large

he was called to Honolulu.

by electric lights, were crowded with
visitors. Kaai's quintet club furnished

The affair was brilliant success, and
