son sat alone on the deck of
IL the Grande Dame, q prey to
- conflicting emotions, the while
he waited for Mildred to appear. There
was no one to dispute his presence
now, for the tourists who had followed
DR.. Berry from the shore in hushed ex-
citement avoided him, and the sailors
uer instructions; hence he was allowed
opportunity to adjust himself to the
sudden change. It was not so much
the unexpected downfall Of Willis
Marsh and the new light thus thrown
upon his own enterprise that upset him
as a puzzling alteration in his own
purposes and 1ncl1nat1ons. He had
come out to the yacht def1antly to
make good his threat and to force an
understanding with Mildred Wayland,
but now that he was here and his way
made easy he began to question his
own desires. Now that he thought
about it that note,. instead Of filing
him with dismay, had rather left him
relieved. It was as If he had been
freed of burden; and this caused him
a vague uneasiness. Was it because
he was tired by the struggle for this
girl for whom he had labored SO
faithfully? After three years Of un-
tagging devotion was he truly relieved
to have her dismiss him? Or was it
that here In this primal country, strip
ped Of all conventions. he saw her and
himself in a new light? He did not
know.
The late twilight was fading when
Mildred came from her stateroom.
She found Boyd pacing the deck. a
cigar between his teeth.

Constantine broke his silence for the
first time, addressing Mildred directly:
'"rhis baby b'long Mr.. Marsh. He
say he goin' marry Chakawana, but he
lie. He goin' marry you because you
are rich girl" he turned to Marsh.
"What for you lie, eh?" He leaned
forward with frightfu scowl. II tell
you long time ago 1 kill you If you
dom marry my sister,"
"Now I UNDERESTIMATE exclaimed
Boyd. 1T was you who stabbed him
that night in the cannery."
Eyes. Chakawana tell him what the
prizes say bout woman what don
marry. My sister say she go to hell
herself and dom care much, but it
amt right for little baby to go to hell
too"
What do you mean by that?' asked
Mr.. Wayland.
1.-THE Father say If white man take
Indian woman and dom marry her she
go to hell for thousan' year-mebbe
two, three thousan' year. Anyhow,
bad thing!" The breed shook his head
seriously. "Chakawana she's good girl,
and she go to church I give money
to the prizes, too-plenty money ev-
cry time-but he says that's no good;
she's got to be marry or she'll burn for
always with little baby And so that's
make her scare, because little baby
amt do nothing to burn that way. Mr..
Marsh he say it's all one lie, and he
don't care if little baby do go to hell.
You hear that? He don care for lit
tie baby"
Constant1ne's eyes were full Of tears
as he strove 1aboriously to voice his
religious teachings. He went on with
growing agitation:
"Chakawana she's mighty scare Of
that bad place, and she ask Mr.. Marsh
again to marry her, but he beat her.
That's when I try to kill him. Mebbe
Mr.. Emerson amt come so quick Mr..
Marsh go to hell himself"
Wayne Wayland turned upon Marsh
''Why don't you say something's
II told you the brat isn't mine!" he
cried. IF it isn't Emerson's it's Cher

won't be bled."
you marry my sister," asked Con-
stantine.
''No" snarled Willis Marsh. "You
can all go to h. and take the child
with you.''
Without a single warning cry the
breed lunged swiftly. The others saw
something CLEAN in his hand. Elmer
son jumped for him, and the three
men went to the deck in a writhing
tangle, sending the furniture spinning
before them. Mildred heard Boyd
Emerson cry to the sailors:
"Get out of the way! I've got him"
Then saw him locked in the Indians
arms. They had gained their feet now
and spun backward, bringing up against
the yachts cabin with crash Of shiv-
ering glass; A knife, wrenched from
the breeds grasp, went whirling over
the side into the sea.
Wayne Wayland loosed his daugh-
ter's hold and thrust his way in among
the sailors kneel1ng beside the man he
had chosen for bis son-1n-laW. Dmer-

ing:

"Dr. Berry! Send for Berry! He's
gone ashore!" exclaimed Mr.. Wayland.
"Quick! Somebody fetch DR.. Berry,
Boyd directed.
As the sailors drew apart Mildred
Wayne saw a sight that made her grow
deathly faint and close her eyes.

Never again could she have Boyd to

The first and only kiss he had ever

She recalled that evening they had
spent alone in this very room, when he
had seemed to Waver and her hopes
had risen at the dawning Of a new
light in his eyes,: At the memory she
cried aloud as il her heart would
break:

He entered noiselessly and took her
in his arms.
Eyes, dear!' he .murmured. But she
rose with a startled exclamation and
wrenched herself from his embrace.
The piano gave forth a discordant
crash. Shrinking back as from an ap-
partition, she stared into his flushed
and smiling face, then breathed:
'You! Why are you hereP'
because love you"
She closed her eyes and swayed as II
under the spell Of wonderful music.
He saw the throbbing pulse at her
throat. Then she flung out her hands.

"Go away, please, before find it is

She raised her lids to find him still

hand.

Trail of the Landlord.
The schools, hospitals, Fairgrounds,
club buildings, the things of social
consideration and advantages were of
the highest order and of the first i'm
portance to the people.
The one thing which missed in
both cities was any sense of a. per-
manent and abiding interest either in
the place or the homes occupied by
the people I talked with. The trial OF
the landlord was over all.
How shall this be taken away? /
shall in a: later letter attempt to show
that the cooperative towns now build
ing and the municipal houses of the
first class. will be able to escape not
only the necessity Of the landlord but
the sense Of insincerity and lack Of
abiding interest which must forever be
a characteristic of the passing tenant
of a private master, especially when
the landlord is also. the employer.

ser's arguments and Of Cherry's own
words, he had still refused to yield
until his love for the girl swept over
him in all its power: then he made his
choice.
The one thing he found most Diff
cult to accept was her. conduct with
billiard. Those other charges against
the girl were vague and shadowy, but
this was concrete, and he was familiar
with every miserable detail Of 1t. It
took all his courage to face It, but he
swore savagely that If the conditions
had been reversed Cherry would not
have faltered for an instant. More
over, what she had done had been
done for love of him. It was worse
than vile to hesitate Her past was
her own, and all he could rightfully
claim was her future. He shut his
teeth and laid his course resolutely for
her landing, striving to leave behind
this one hideous memory, centerfng his
mind upon the girl herself and shut
ting out her past. It was the bitter
est fight he had ever waged. But
when he reached the shore and tied
his skth he was exalted by the knowl-
edge that he had triumphed; that this
painful episode was locked away with
all the others.
Now that he had conquered he was
filled with consuming eagerness. AS
he: stole up through the shadows he
heard her playing, and when he drew
nearer he recognized the notes Of that
song that had banished his own black
desolat1on on the night Of their first
meeting. He paused outside the-opeu

dices law for him. Above all, she
could not respond to the exultation Of
his success. She had no conception of
the pride of accomplishment that is the
Wine of every true mans life. He had
waged q bitter fight that had slapped
his very soul; he had made and won
the struggle that man makes once in
q lifetime, and now, just when he had
proved himself strong and fair in the
sight Of his fellows, she asked him to
forego It all. Engrossed in her own
egoism. she required Of him greater
sacrifice than any he had made. Now
that he had shown his strength she
wanted to load him down with golden
fetters-to make him a dependant. Was
1t because she feared another grip
She had tried to help him, he knew
In her way-and the thought Of It

dred he had always known-to act
fearlessly, needless Of what her father
might do or say. Somehow he had
never felt more convinced Of the sin
cerity Of her love, but he found him
self thinking of it as Of something Of
the past. After all, what she had done
had been little, considering her power.
She had given carelessly out Of her
abundance, while Cherry He saw It
all now, and sudden sense of loyalty
and devotion to the girl who had real

PosT oFfTcE FACILITIES.

Congressman seuIly does well to
press the matter of improved post
Office facilities for this city. There
has been little said. locally. along
this line of late because of the fact
that a new postmaster has Just TAX
en- hold and the people arc disposed
to let him become accustomed to his
duties before Offering their criti-
cisms and making complaints. The
fact remains, however. that the SER
vice is little better today than it has
been for some time past. Business
men are complaining about the poor
delivery service, which, as bad as it
is In the business section of the city.
ia still worse In the residential dis
tricts. 1t is plain that more carriers
are necessary to serve the people as
they should be served. Cities much
smaller than Perth Amboy are CIV
en- better facilities than we have
here in the matter of delivery and
there is no reason why Perth Amboy
should not receive the same atten-
ton from the government.
M "-LTa .L
While the public are not SO famil-
lar with the work inside the post Of
fee, the fact that something Is
wrong there is evident from the mis-
carriage of mail that is noticed In
many places. Hardly a morning
passes that mail. addressed to some
of the business houses In this city is
mixed and sent to the wrong par
ties In spite of the fact that they n
plainly addressed. The only xcuse
for such work can be that the Office
force is incapable Of handling the
vast amount of business that comes
to the local post office and in their
efforts to make one man do the work
of two these mistakes occur. adj
hitting that some such misplace
ments of mail will occur OCCASION
ally. it should not be a daily occur
renee as 1t is now.
we have no doubt that Postmas-
ter Pfeiffer is heartily In accord
with the efforts of the people to 9
cure better service here and the en-
way in which Congressman
is pressing the matter at
washington ought to bring some re-
suits shortly.

HELPFUL HOUSEHOLD HINTS,

How to make Curried Beef: First
catch your beef and stretch it on the
kitchen table, mailing 1t firmly at
each end so 1t cannot get away. Then
go to a livery stable and borrow q
curry comb. Take the curry comb
home with you and when you get
there pass 1t rapidly over the beef
with a motion which resembles that
of shaking dice for chances In o
rattle for a SO diamond ring. II this
process Is kept up long enough the
beef will be thoroughly curried. Cur
ried rice Is very nice, but rice Is
harder to curry than beef because 1t
is harder to nail to the kitchen table
and will not stand still while being
currfed.
What to do with superfluous hair:
Stuff a sofa pillow with it. If the
sofa pillow will not hold 1T all put
