CHAPTER xVI.-Continued.

It was now my turn to be thought ful. Evelyn believed In the woman's ability to aid. She had said as much to me. And I myself possessed a cer- tain degree of faith In feminine intui- lion. Aside from that, though, Miss Clement had demonstrated that she yielded certain power in her baili- wfck-was not my watch, at that mo- ment. in my pocket7-and her whole personality proclaimed inherent ca 2acity for accomplishment

But my physician had set Monday for my first day out, and he refused to concede even & twenty-fourhour change of plan. But ! chafed more even at the inactivity Cameron than at the confinement All xt once, had become imbued with a necessity for prompt and strenuous measures. Some awful thing, l knew not what, seemed ominously immi- nent, and remorse tore at me torment fngly.
 Early Monday. I telephoned Miss Clement for tidings of her progress, but she could only implore me to wait. She had nothing to report, but she was encouraged With my hands thus lied diversion was my only refuge, and an accumulation of office work into which I plunged served. in part at least. this purpose.
 Evelyn and Mrs. Lancaster had come in from Greenwich and opened the Cameron town house, great white granite Renaissance affair, on upper Fifth avenue, facing the park; and because the girl had made me promise, lunched there; but I went with less grace than ever before, un. hb Hds LII LlN etiI-COilIOl. Evelyn's faith in Miss Clement, how ever, was contagious She spoke of nttle else, and when I came away 1t was with strengthened hope of speedy results.
 It is my habit to glance over the earlier editions of all the evening pa pers before leaving my office, and lat CT, either on the train to Greenwich or, when in town, at my club. to read more carefully the later issues of the News and Star. On this particular day, however, 6 succession of matters Of more importance prevented my looking at so much as headline, un- til. seated at dinner, in the club res taurant, saw on window ledge be- side me one of the more sensational of the afternoon dailies, and appro- priated 1t in lieu of better companion ship.

So much on its hands that ii is imp9,
sible for it to attend to this matter OF

riittees and workers. But the decorat-

for any other reason than that the

Honolulu has chosen Was hinEton' s

style. for a community Of her size, ex-
cept in the matter of decorations OF
buildings and stress. II seems to me
tnat some of the men who owe the
most to what the American flag has
done for Hawaii, are the most back
ward in spending few dollars and a
little time on patriotism.
Even If we leave the matter OF
patriotism aside, IL Is worth while to
show our visitors On Washington's

American city. 1t won't look like one

eIed as a commercial proposition-
aside from the patriotic and social
features that give the community an
enjoyable day-the parade IS for the

help it out by decorating.
