Here was house in order and Jane
reveled in it. No more Sixth avenue
for her; she would leave that to Mrs.
Collins. For herself she was through
with the hoi polloi She was not one
of them and never had been except
from necessity. She thought of her
home in one Of the larger cities up
state and of her life there when Bob
had courted her five years ago. Her
father was not rich, as wealth is re-
garded today, but he was a well-to-do
and much respected attorney and an
intellectual one. If the occasion had
required it he would have taken lodg-
ing at a first-class hotel and done
without a meal rather than stay at an
inferior one.
Jane had had year at one Of the
leading colleges for girls and then a
turn in the tide of her fathers bust
ness affairs had cut short this luxury.
But she knew her art and her music
and she had looked forward with a
thrill and with wholesome authorization
to her advent in the great metropolis.
She had an inkling of Bob's business
then and business of any kind seemed
better for man to her than a profess
sion. Her fathers case convinced her
Of this. She was sure that no man was
more capable, more suited to enjoy the
best things of life or more eager to
supply them for his family, but his
calling did not seem to provide the
means.
Jane had known Bob's history at
school. He was leader, as Brand had
said, and she was confident that he
would force his way to the front in
the business world. Not that she was

CHAPTER x.
A Nocturnal Visitor.

In the bungalow now a new era
dawned. There was no marked change
in James mode of life but there was a
vast difference in the spirit of it, A
little army of Joy gods entered and
gave battle to the glooms. Every day
in this conflict of mental legions the
joys triumphed. Not alone did they
crush the foes of James spiritual well
fare. Such victories won they took
hold of the physical being and with
deft touch here and there restored it
to the full power of it's natural beauty
They put light into the eyes that
had seemed, perhaps, little tired;
added fresh glow to cheeks that had
become a little wan and gave quick
elasticity to a step that had grown list.
less.
Jane was really beautiful woman.
But she was the type that needs the
full blend of all attractions to complete
the picture of the subtle whole. She
was tall and willowy. Vivaciousness
made her slimness a charm; without
this spirit she was thin. So, too. her
hair, luxuriant, abundant raven tresses
seemed heavy and added years unless
flashing eyes and colored cheeks de-
fed its somberness. And, Just as
prosaic life and tired, dulled senses
had caused the bird to droop, keeping
pace with frayed and worn plumage.
now new prospects and new feathers
caused 1t to thrill and fiutter.
Mrs. Collins, keen observer of all
these changes. literally winked the
other eye. She was not the kind who
scorns gossip but having once met suf-
f1cient rebuke from Jane and being
more or less beneficiary of this pros
perity she held her peace. If her
nerves required material relief now
she had but to make the want known.
The means was always at hand.
There came presently into the Rey-
nolds household, however, something
that disturbed even the equanimity of
Mrs. Collins. This was servant girl.
She was inefficient and unframed, but
she kept James hands out of the dish
water.

ting white and soft while her own
were red and rough. She sought refuge
in rubber gloves which In many a
woman's life are mute evidence of
vanity or pathos as the case may be.
But Mrs. Collins gave them up. It was
no use, she told herself. The hands
weren't all. Jane was young and
pretty and the common bond of COM

ST. JOHNS GETS UNDER WAY.
Recent Hazing Fatality Causes Change
In College Discipline.

Scholastic work at st. Johns College
got under way last week, with every
prospect for a successful session.
The re-opening finds several changes
in the faculty and curriculum. The
faculty changes are Prof. Henry F.
Sturdy, Of Annapolis, department OF
history and political economy; Stan
wood Cobb, Dartmouth graduate, de
partment of Englash and oratory, and
Harvey c. Mittendorf, graduate of the
Naval Academy department of me-
chanical drawing and assistant in the
department of physics A change In
the official staff is that of Prof. R. H.
Ridgely, secretary to the faculty In
place of Prof. G. L. Lincoln, resigned.
An important change in the college
system Is that in the department of
discipline. This department has been
re-organized at the instance of the
board of governors, the action being
due to the fatal hazing episode last
spring. Discipline is now placed in
the hands of the faculty, and the plan
provides that each member, with the
exception of the president shall be in
charge of dormitories and formations
for "a hours at a time.

this little strip Of crisp paper was the
key to life's real joys; it pointed the
route and paved the way to escape
from the bitter confines of her impe-
cunious past. She had never a thought
that 1t was not rightfully hers; that
she had not earned it. She knew only
that she had it. So the gambler. when
he has won another mans money,
revels in thoughts Of how he will
squander it and is buoyed up to the
heights of all moral oblivion and free
dom from care.

marrying him from any selfish view
point She loved him, but she was
also proud of him, and the last year
or two of their married life had seen a
tinge of disappointment mingled with
his pride. She was still hopeful, or
had been until the coming of Brand
In five years Brand had become a mil
lionaire, though it was true that he
had started from a higher plane than
Bob and with much greater opportuni-
ties. But he had made the most OF
these chances and she found herself
wondering now whether Bob had done
the same.
All women like the fineries and the
Injuries of life, but some crave them
more than others. Jane was one OF
these. She was essentially what Brand
read her to be. She had the f1inesse,
the culture of the so-called upper
classes and the inherent longing to be
a living part of their order. Still she
had woman's instinct for home and
for this reason she had not opposed
her husbands humble venture on
Staten island She had wished it might
be more elaborate, but since it was all
they could afford, 1t was better than
none.
And Jane was not selfish. She knew
that besides the JOY of having her and
her love the five years Of their welded
life had brought few thrills to Bob.
Perhaps some Of the glamor had be-
gun to fade for him, too; the long
grind at his work and then the long
idle evenings in the fiat or the fruit
less pleasures of some cheap amuse-
ment in the city. This idea of home
had been something new. He had
talked about it and planned for it and
become so enthusiastic over 1t that she
had entered into the spirit of it and
rejoiced with him. And now the spell
of this Utopia was gone, at least for
her.
Much of her husbands enthusiasm
over suburban life was not shared by
Jane. When they had moved into the
place in the spring her natural love
of the artistic had given her happy
interest in her flowers, but there her
concern in the rustic pursuits ceased.
For his sake she assumed a sympathy
that she did not feel. Truck gardens,
Jane thought, were for truck garden
ers and while hens we're useful for
laying eggs. they were not interesting
companions.
Bobs school, on the other hand, had
poultry department that was noted
! the world over and while he had not

his innate liking for all forms of ami

his young Plymouth Rocks had begun

she turned eagerly to the escape.

IS This FAIR PLAY?

Honolulu, T. H.. Oct. Is, 1914.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir: DO you consider it is fair to
supply the German warship now in
port with Australian coal, specially re-
leased from Australia on account OF
friendly relations existing between
Australia and America, and more es-
pecfally in view of the fact that the
German warship is accompanied by a
collier and is not destitute OF coal?
Do you consider it is fair to supply
meat to German war vessel. in view
Of the appeal made to Australia by the
United States re island meat supply,
and the exception made by Australia
in our favor Would not Australia be
justified in cutting off, without warn
ing, the coal and meat supply for these
islands, as she certainly does not sup
ply us with these commodities to have
us in turn supply national ship OF
her enemies: ..... r. j.
In short, are we playing the game
In pleading poverty in coal and meats
to Australia, obtaining valuable con-
eessions from her in relation thereto,
and supplying her enemies therewith?
Yours very truly. .~:---. -:

DIVORCED MAN GIVEN
SECOND FREEDOM IN
LOCAL COURT TO-DAY

William Fl. Hindle. whose wife OBJ

decree by Circuit Judge Whitney this
morning, on the ground of desertion.
This is an unusual feature, the like

though there seems to be little doubt
that it would. But the husband in the
present case was particularly anxious
TO have decree effective at once.
while the interlocutory decree OBJ
tanned by Mrs. Hindle is under spe-
cial California law which grants a
separation but does not become eff
fectiye until year later. On this
theory the California decree therefore
would not be effective until October
of next year. Hence that granted by
Judge Whitney should have prior eff

WILL PROVE THE TERRIToRY's
SINCERITY.

The territory's move to build some home
stead roads on Maui by the use of territorial
prisoners is a move in the right direction. The
main reason why prisoners have not been used
in numbers for road-work in Hawaii before
this is that county and territorial officials con-
sidered the matter from political standpoint
fearing to lose votes if the electorate thought
citizen laborers were kept out of job because
prisoners were set to work on the highways.
The fallacy of this reasoning is apparent.
Shortage of funds for road-work is fairly
chronic condition in Hawaii and under this con-
dition the citizen laborers are out of work any
way. Many months ago this paper advocated
the use of prisoners on the roads where no cit
izen labor would be displaced.
Maui needs the highways desperately, there
is no question about that The homesteaders
have staked their future on the hazardous ex-
pertinent in Haiku district a failure of this
experiment would not only ruin many if not
all of the small farmers, but would give to the
territorial homesteading system black eye
would discredit the sincerity of Hawaii's eff
forts to build up American communities.

JAPANESE PETITION
FOR EfTiZ HIP Is
ACCEPTED TN H0N0L ULu

A petition for citizenship, filed IN
the office OF the clerk OF the federal
court by Takao Ozawa, a native Of
Japan, this morning was accepted by
Clerk Augustus e. Murphy. According
to Mr. Murphy this is the first instance
in which the application OF a Japan
csc, not Hawaiian-born, has been ac-
cepted
The petition was accepted by MI.
Murphy following his explanation to
The Japanese that the petition will be
heard in open court, and that the court
will decide whether he shall be given
the rights of naturalization. Ozawa
appeared In the clerks office this
morning in company with two wit
nesses, l.. A. Perry and B. H. Clarke.
The Japanese applied for a petition
for citizenship several weeks ago, the
petition having been refused under
section 1859 Of the Revised Statutes.
Clerk Murphy took the matter up with
the naturalization authorities In Wash
fngton, ID. C., and received recently
communication from R. X. Campbell,
chief of the division OF naturalization,
advising that he accept the petition
for citizenship and let the matter Of
naturalization lie with the court.
Clerk Murphy says that the authori-
ties show that all applications which
have been made by Japanese for citi-
Fzenship in the United States have
been rejected. In September, 1908, q
Japanese desired to file In the federal
court a petition for citizenship. The
petition was refused by Mr.. Murphy,
and his action upheld by the naturafi-
cation authorities in Washington.
