the sound of a quick sigh, a breath OF
combined exultation and disappoint-

ed; twill the doctor say to this?" And
the old Iady's answer came, defiant:
atom Bruce can say on"
The girl turned to her task. Over
the buzzing wire a faint, incoherent
speech came to her ear, an ,%insistent
call of which she could make nothing.
| Again and again she asked what was
wanted, and she was almost in de-
SPAR, when Mrs. Deane's voice rose
clearly:
"Chloe, quarrel if you want to, but
help me out Of this bed. Yonder's

answers. They've sent him away be-

and this time every night ne gets

five minutes, and then he goes to
sleep. But it takes me to get her past
that trained nurse. Hand me my
bedroom slippers"
Through the bravado Of the long
speech there ran a little quaver OF
fear lest Miss Chloe should thwart
her at this crisis.
When the patient had had her way,
and Miss Chloe was putting her to
bed again with the air of one recap
turing a prisoner, Rachel gave her
place to Miss Lydia and slipped soft

Rachel reached it, and the doctor was
inside, stretched out comfortably in
his chair for a brief rest in the early

"Well, Ray McCoy?" he said, as the
girl slid down on a hassock beside
him, and he put a hand on her fluffy
hair. Many a burden Rachel had un.
loaded at the feet Of the stalwart old
doctor, physician to hearts as well as

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP.
AM HAWAIIAN DREAM, b FARLEY VERNON WILCOX.

While the cane juice flows in torrents from the crushing roller jaw,
And the tons Of sweet are pouring into sacks,
We can smile at Jeremiahs preaching farof empty nav,
And lack OF buds to hang upon our backs.
The juicy pines are following beneath the glowing sun,
And the rice is shooting upward from the mud;
The potato vines are growing cause they haven't room to run,
And the cocoanut descends with gentle thud,
1t needs no snake to tempt an Eve to pluck a mangosteen
In this languid little Eden in the sea-.
And the figs are clothed in purple fruits and foliage so green,
While there's always swipes abrewng from the ii.
There's a luau for the horses in the algaroba bean,
And kuui oil will brighten up the glm.
Round loayes of bread are hanging on the shadetrees in the green
And poi guarantees we'll not be slim.
Did you never have a poha pie or guava jamboree,
And drape the MALE wreath upon your brow?
You never tasted pua wrapped in shiny leaves of tt?
Wake up, housekeeping friend, and do 1t now.
Brew some rare old Kona coffee, don't be stngy with the cup,
And grid your lons with strands OF sisal rope.
The Nahiku rubber airship, so serenely sailing up
Was built on nerve and industry and hope.
There's a huge papaia dangling in the corner of the yard,
And our. only alligator is a pear,
The weeds are fighting bravely with Bermuda in the sward,
And the merry little fruitiny doesn't care.
Meath the spreading Ponciana with its scarlet canopy
Let's forget the awful war with japanese,
While we smoke a fragrant Kona fresh from Jared's factory,
And dream a dream of ava at our ease.

France, it is believed, will not re-
ceive De La Barra as Minister from
Mexico. BY so doing she will fol

the United States in the latter coun-
try's efforts to bring about a peaceful
settlement of the Mexican revolution.
The method that will finally accom-

In the meantime a monarchy backed
by bullets would be necessary. It is
noble to extol republics and nobler to
wish that all peoples should be gov

ways Of government. But it is mad
to believe Mexico possible of, being
ruled this way and in peace. A mon
arch is the inevitable. 1t may be a
King, but the monarch may be sthe
United States or some other nation
capable Of ruling with a just iron
hand.
1T is a mad crime to longer believe
universal ignorance capable of gov

lieves when he believes that Mexico
can endure now as a republic. The
truth of this im%possibility strikes all
with the binding certainty of the

Mexieo's salvation lies in an .abso-

now while Mexico is a republic is to
postpone the certain truth and pro-

must come first always before a sue

Man Drowned at Belvidere

Will Thomas, a well-known resident of
Belvidere, was drowned in the Kelley
brook Tuesday evening of last week.
That day he loaded up his meat cart and
went on his route from Belvidere to
| Johnson that night. When returning,
about o'clock, in some unaccountable
manner his horses got into the stream
near A. N. Chambers near the Center
1t is thought by some that they became
frightened and ran away. However,
they got into the stream and were soon
discovered floundering therein. Ralph
Wells, who lives nearby, together with
several others, rescued the horses, which
had got separated from the wagon.
Wells had to get into the water nearly
up to his neck to get hold of the team.
They were finally rescued, when it was
discovered that Thomas wasgone. When
he went or how nobody knows. Search
was made for him, but not until next day
was he found in the river about a mile
from where the horses went in. He had
fallen into the stream unknow to others.
When found his clothing was about half
off of him and, as he had about fifty dol
lars when he started out and the DAYS
receipts, there was some suspicion that
he might have met with foul play,
Accordingly an inquest was held Mon.
day before Judge Mower of Eden and
States Attorney Maurice. DR.. Stone of
Burlington performed the autopsy and it
was decided that Thomas had met death
by accidental drowning. His pocketbook
had been found on the ground and the
money, or most of it, scattered along
the road.
Thomas was about 40 years old and
uarrled The funeral was held Tuesday
