The Evening Story
RAINBOW CHASER.

Copyright, 1913, by w. Werner.)
When Olivia Fuller walked to the
parsonage one evening with Jason
Waite and was married to him people
said that she had made a great mis-
take.
Jason Waite had come to Westmore
out of nowhere. He had been there
sever months and in that time he
had changed his job -four times. his
boarding place thrice. had Tilted one
girl and married another. Cora Fraser
was the girl he tilted. Jason's tickle
ness was all h more dangerous be-
cause it was combined with q, charm
ing personality. He was dark and
things he had done and the places
he had seen his dark eye shone hk
lamps and he fascinated one. 1t was
no wonder olivia fell in love with
him, but 1t was a wonder that. with
her common sense. she married him.
Her people would have none Of
Jason, so she simply went to the par
sonage with him. The day after she
was married Olivia hunted up a few
| rooms and proceeded to make a home
out of them. 1t was wonderful what
she managed to do with a second
hand cool stove and a few sticks Of
it, too. Westmore had rarely seen a
gayer bride. She asked no favors
from her old friends or her relatives
the aunts, uncles and cousins who
had looked after her since her moth
er's death.
After six months,or 80 Jason began
to get restless. He was keeping books
and he did not like the man he
worked for. Finally he gave up his

a fact to be taken into account in the
efforts which may be made to im-
prove conditions in that territory.
The form of slavery which exists
there is not one which is recognized
by the law. 1t was not recognized
under Spanish law. Only to a very
limited extent is it commercial in form.
1t Is rather social and local in charac-
ter. There is no such thing in the
Philippines as slavery of the character
which existed in the southern states

recognized under the law as a chattel.
The law denied him his freedom. and
protected his owner in making mer-

that sort in the Philippines.
me form of Philippine slavery is So
cial and domestic. and resembles in a
measure that which existed under the
patriarchal forms of government in the
far east centuries ago. and which is
characteristic generally of primitive
peoples. Inferior tribes have from
time immemoral been in the habit Of
selling their children to their superior
neighbors. and the children SO sold
became in a way members of the fam
lily of the purchaser. house servants,
field laborers. and so on. treated some
times humanely and sometiems cruel

disc. The condition of these menials
is accepted by them and others as a

All of this is illegal. of course. but so
long as it is accepted by those most
concerned. and there is no forcible re-
straint. it is difficult to see what gov
eminent can do about it other than to
educate the people to the acceptance
of different standards.
Another form Of slavery practiced
is that of peonage. under which. Ivy
