TAX MADE.
SUBJECT Of LETTER
Chamber Of Commerce, Asked
: To Issue Rules, Sends Out
Circular Of Explanation

The Chamber OF Commerce has been
asked TO issue rules and regulations In
regard TO the operation Of the tonnage
tax collected in this port on all ineOIn-
ing freight except crude oil, and the
public health committee Of the chamber
has sent TO all shipping firms and i'm,
porters In Honolulu circular letter
dealing with its understanding OF the
imposition of the tax and the collection
of the same. ,T
The, letter is az follows:
The tonnage tax Is an amount pay.
able on all appropriations into the Island
of Oahu. IL was and is to provide for
fund which could be used in a sud
den emergency, for immediate use in
the event Of circumstances which
should require prompt action to pre-.
vent the quarantinipg of any port on
the Island of Oahu, and TO furnish
funds for use in such WAYS as should
seem to be wise In the prevention of
conditions which might tend to a stu
alton calling for quarantine. ~
Voluntary AT First
The tax was voluntary in the FIRST
place, but later the agents of the vari.
GUS transportation companies were
asked TO include the tax on the regular
bills Of lading, paying the amount over
to the treasurer of this committee, and
importers Of commodities in cargo lots
were also asked TO make payments ia
the same party on their shipments.

Other Islands Not Affected
This tax has not been applied to the
shipments TO the other islands passing
through Honolulu rs the proceeds have
been FOR use in the prevention or relief
of quarantine on the Island Of Oahu
All shipments ta%this Island SHOULD
bear the tax at whatever port LANDED
or whatever the roint of destination OF
the island, AS any quarantine of any
port on the island would effect every
one doing business on the island.
In the application of the tax it has
not been thought wise to include goods
consigned to the government, either
federal or territorial. This policy hav
ing been adopted it would probably
not be wise to attempt to change it
This is the only exception which SHOULD
be made a general one.
AS to the other islands this commit
tee has no authority to act, but woulc
suggest that the commercial bodies OF
the respective islands take similar ae
ton looking to the good health ant
protection Of Their islands, if this ,ha,
not already Been done.
1t is desirable that payments to thi
fund be made monthly to the treasurer

bent on the girl were honestly kind.
She'll be safe here, gentlemen. You

And she led Irena into the cabin.
VAGUELY thankful, dog-tired to their
Samaritan bones, Coleman and o. Hara
tramped away. Coleman fell asleep plan
ming to go back to Wonderland by day
break and send Irena to the school in st.
Louis by the first train. But at midnight
messenger reused him. The up-river
levee had broken again. He and OHara
must hurry back to the contract.
anyhow, I'll start her north at six to-
night" Coleman thought. ~,-.-,-.
But at six that night he lay limp and
unconscious, while the chief engineer bis
tered the wires with demands for sur
geon, trained nurse, a special tug to
rush Coleman and his broken leg to the
Memphis hospital.
The leg healed rapidly. Meanwhile,
Coleman's nurse earned a martyrs crown.
Every day he dictated letter of instruc-
tions to Miss de Montmorency concerning
"my ward" He sent her check for
Irena's expenses. He even ordered
warm sweater and heavy shoes for the
girl. He fumed and fused and worried.
In the innocence of his heart, he was al
most pompously paternal.
To all of his commands Lillian made but
one reply-a truculent purple scrawl on
a lurid lilac sheet:
Mr.. Dudley Coleman, Esq, @. E.
Dear SIR: Yrs. of 5th,. 9TH, sth, 10TH &
18th reed. Irena is well. She acts con-
tented. You need not have sent that swetter.
l had already got her plenty clothes myself
return your check. Wonderland is not
hotel. 1t IS private home.
N. B.-Thanks' for advice etc. l don't
need no cub engineer to tell me how to take
care of my company. Yrs: respectfully.
l.. DE MoNTMoRENcY.
Young Mr.. Coleman of Beacon Street
lay back on his pillows and howled. He
was still weak and hilarious when O'Hara
tiptoed in. O'Hara spelled out the letter
solemnly
"The lady's what We might call out
spoken, sir.
"Quite. But she is evidently treating
Irena well. And by next week I'll be able
to go down and take the child away"
"Take her away, is it," A queer CLINT
awoke in O'Hara's eye. "Away from
Lillian de Montmorency? A childless
woman wild a jaw like PAWN brick, an
a timper of fire an tow an heart bigger
than the two big fists of her? Well, sir, |
wish We luck!"
With which cryptic farewell he tiptoed
out.
Coleman paid little heed. He was al
ready drafting letter to the principal of
the St. Louis school, outlining his wards
course of study.
TWO weeks later, Coleman, still leaning
on his cane, but personable young
giant every inch, walked up Wonderland's
gang-plank. In his pocket reposed the
principals staid note, in which she ac-
knowledged his payment of Irena's first
term tuition.
All Sumner County swarmed on the wide
decks, for Wonderland was giving EAST

little auditorium, Lillian recognized him,
with friendly whoop. She strobe beam
ing up the aisle; but he caught queer,
furtive CLEAN in her narrow eyes.
"Well, Mr. Coleman! Hooray for you!

near klnsfOlk. when she was twelve, both
parents had been killed in tenement fire.
Then MacLaren had adopted her, and
taught her to keep his house. He had
taught her other things, too, she added
shyly: to play little, to speak little
French and German, to read aloud from
his shabby trunkful of classics. He had
been kind, but very strict. He had lived
in terror of his experimentation motor
being stolen-hence their hermit life.
al cant take her back to that hole of
hotel Coleman studied her face, so wan
and sad, yet so beautiful that he felt a
sudden awe, boyish, chivalric. What a
aower-thing she was, this lone little waif!
She was like-in flash, Coleman remem-
bered, with curious shy delight-that
old, old picture of his mother, taken in the
decorous seventies: her little slim, I'M
formed body; her braided hair; her soft,
dark eyes.
If only his mother were at home, he'd
pack Irena off to her. She would know
just what to do. But she was in Zurich,
where the younger boys We're at school.
Failing that he could take Irena to some
good school in ST. Louis. But for tonight
where, in this dingy, half-drowned place,
could he put the child?
"Yell not be takin' her back to that
low-fung tavern" whispered O'Hara.
"An' the preacher telt me he'd gladly take
her, but his two kids is down wild measles,
an the misthress wore out entirely. An
the sections folks is drownded out of house
an home, so they're sleepin' at his wife's
fathers. Now, where in the nation"
"The minister will give me list of his
parishioners. Of course, some one of the
church ladies will take her in for tonight"
"Why of course'?" muttered O'Hara
grimly.
WHY indeed? At ten o'clock that night
Coleman bolted into the little station
waiting-room, where Irena sat, her lashes
dropping, the faithful O'Hara beside her.
add we find" O'Hara began. Then
he stopped, startled by the black rage in
the boys face.
al found-heu!" Coleman bit the
words off, between gasps of fury. Red
sparks blazed in his heavy-lidded eyes.
"Those worthy Severn women! Those
those foul-mouthed old harridans! They'd
like to oblige us, but they really hadn't

tune. And when I'd beg EN- to let her
sleep on the hat-rack or the kitchen floor
'N-no; we don't know anything against
her. But Mr.. MacLaren was very pecu-
liar And there has been talk Talk"
"Yis, talk. IT'S the leadin' product of
this Shiny little town! But we're wastin'
time jawin', an this child so beat out she
can't lift her sweet head"
"But what can we do with herr"
"Sure, sir, there's one chance left.
Lillian de Montmorency.
LILLIAN de Montmorency! That show
boat woman!" Coleman snorted.
He had vivid sight of the fair Lillian
as she had waved to him that morning
her coarse figure, her bedizened hair her
bold, gay, painted face.
Sweet place, that, to take Irena!"
well, it'd be decent, sir. An roof
over her tired head"
Coleman began to argue. Then he
yielded, disguised but beaten. Gently he
reused lrena. Dazed with sleep, she
stumbled obediently beside him down the
endless black shore to the huge dim bulk
of Wonderland.

was barred to the gaping eyes of Sumner
County. Her thin little hands glittered
even as Lilian's own. Crime of crimes,
her silken lashes were beaded thick, and
u smear of raw pink daubed her chin and
made high lights on both cheeks. Yet,
through all this dissertation, her beauty
shone out on him unsmirched, white
star.
SAINT she the peach, since l toned her
up?" said Lillian simply. Honest glad
achievement rang in her voice.
Irena turned to her. Between the two
there passed glance of such illumined
meaning that Coleman stared. Llian's
bold. eyes glowed with mother-tenderness.
But the girl looked up with alteration, a
passion of profoundest love, almost of
reverence.
"Guess was right, Mr.. Coleman.

teach me how to make lady out of
Irena!"
She laughed proudly and gayly.
"Run along to your piano, hon. Time
the curtain went up. You'll stay to sup
per, Mr.. Coleman" Again that wary
CLEAN awoke. ave want an hours visit
DetOfe you must go Dack.
Coleman accepted with cordial aplomb.
Three mortal hours he sat through Lady
Isabel's joys and sorrows. Next him, a
fat old lady, in plush coat that smelled
of peppermint, wept internationally and
leaned on his shoulder at emotional mo-
ments. Before him, two mothers in Israel
chewed their snuff-sticks while the lights
were low; across the aisle, red-headed
baby roared without ceasing. The close
little room steamed. Coleman's leg
panied him internally. He set his teeth
and endured.
SUPPER was set in tight little coop off
- the galley. All Wonderland sat down:
the hot, tired band, the blowsy character
woman, the chesty fifth-rate juvenile, the
frayed, leering old "heavy" In all his
Brahmin days, young Coleman had never
sat at meat with such Bedlam crew.
Irena sat at Lilian's right, safeguarded
by her own loneliness in the midst of the
hairy rout. Coleman shuddered. To-
morrow, thank heaven, he would take his
flower of girl away and put her in proper
hands. His chest expanded. He could
not have felt more altruistic, more pater-
nal had he been fifty-fve and worn side
whiskers.
Supper over, Lillian led the way to her
stting-room.
"Run bring your new shirt-waist, Irena.
l want Mr.. Coleman to see how handy
you're gettin' with your needle. Next
time he comes, you and | must show him
how I've taught you to fence. And dance,
too. She'll make a better soft-shoe than
me, MIR. Coleman, give her time"
Her words were as mild as milk, but her
blue eyes snapped and her voice rang
challenge.
Coleman straightway took up that
challenge.
arena and Iare deeply yourdebt Miss
de Montmorency. l have come now to
pay that debt. And shall take Irena to
st. Louis tonight"
There was pause. Irena threw back
her head like deer. Her small face was
chalk-white, stunned. Lillian did not stir.
Her ford face hardened. Her heavy jaw
set like granite At last she spoke. Her
voice was almost a jeer.
"Oho! You want to pay Irena's debts.

yellow hair bound her little head in great
shining braids. Beneath it, a small heart
shaped face, stricken with terror and
grief, stared down at them, white as ashes.
otis Irena herself! Poor lamb"
O'Hara drove the launch across the sub
merged yard. "An' she alone in the cabin
wid-that"
The launch grounded on a mass of will
low roots and stuck fast. The men jumped
overheard and splashed to the steps.
Coleman stood with barred head. His
tongue Numbered abominably for sheer
pity.
"We saw-the black cloth. Please let
us come inland do what we can"
The girl did not answer at once. Puzzled,
Coleman raised his head and looked at
her What he saw brought the blood to
his heart.
She was even younger than he had
thought, more delicate and frail. Her
hands were clenched her wide, dark eyes
We're tear-swollen, her lips were quivering.
Yet upon every feature was stamped
beauty beauty so profound, so ex-
quisite, that it caught his breath and
leaped like wildfire through his veins.

Her child voice shook, her soft eyes filled.
Nobody came by, and | daren't leave
him to row to town. But he told me just
what to do. He said somebody would
come soon. And you did come"
She led the two men into the cabin.
O'Hara stumbled across to the straight
white shape on the low bed, and knelt,
whispering prayers. But Coleman stood
stock-still, amazed. A dull bare room:
bed, a chair, table, a rickety piano. But
on the board walls hung scores of blue
prints and fragments of designs, and the
table was heaped with strange trumpery
"a fine microscope, a tumble Of wires and
screws and test-tubes and tools. Coleman
peered at the inscription on one drawing.

Then he looked down at that old wasted
face. The face of gentleman, ascetic,
clean; the face of seer, visionary. Per-
petual motion! Well, the poor hermit
souls mysteries were all solved now. All
but this white, desolate child beside him.
"Pack up yer buds, girl dear" O'Hara
spoke gently. "Well be takin' you to

The girl hesitated. "But where

But the miserable question only deep
ened in her eyes.
@We-we can't. For he said-oh, poor
Uncle Robbed" she sobbed out, heart
broken. "He said there wasn't any
money left. He spent the last on his new
tools. He didn't even own the cabin"
"Don't! Well do everything"
Coleman spoke grutfly. He had wild
longing to snatch the little stricken crea-
ture into his big arms and comfort her.
"Pack what you need, and put on
warm cloak. Well take you both to
Severn right away"
SEVERN was only twenty miles down
stream. But it was far past noon when
they reached the landing. His life long.

From behind the papier-mache palms
came hurrying little figure. Coleman's
stick clattered to the floor.
Lillian had done her two-fsted best for
the girl. Already Irena's thin cheeks had
filled, her color had deepened, her frail
little body was straighter, stronger. This
much he saw with rush of gratitude.
Then glaze Of horror settled on his face.

check on any decided upturn.
Corn suffered chiefly owing TO synipa-
