Sir Donald had kept himself most
discreetly In the background for many
weeks, Only the constant oversight
for her comfort showed Ruth that she
was never out Of his mind.
She could not even think Of him
without a throb of gratitude.
And now when all must be made
plain and she must live up to her own
promise she steeled herself for the Or

Sir Donald listened to Everett's plan

Dorr finally agreed to maintain a
strict neutrality and Ruth gratefully
accepted the offer to conduct her at

judge best.
That night they left for Silent Val

Tom Kane received them joyfully
and informed Ruth that Mrs. Darnel

Sir Donald and Everett put him OF

Wilkerson would have to accept bitter
terms.
Sir Donald was only too evidently
waiting for formalities to be over be-

for him to say as Ruth's representa-

Wilkerson himself felt, too, that he

The hut took fire slowly, but the
glare accomplished his purpose. It
slowly drew the watchers toward 1t.
Satisfied that no one would be spy

have eyes only for the fire, he set
forth quickly, careless Of the fact that

In the darkness he passed Achmet

veloped the hut when Ruth finally

The smoldering embers were send

morning sky when Consul Reynolds
and Sir Donald spurred their wearied
horses up to where John and Achmet
squatted with Ruth between them,

Dorr briefly explained his expert
ences and related how Ruth had sud

Sir Donald, kneeling by Ruth's side,
merely patted her hand.

The young man had served his pur-

that Mrs. Darnell would have seen to

liked him as much as it was In her
nature to care for any man, he thought.

said to Wilkerson one night as they
leaned over the rail and watched the

"Yes, the fellow had his good points,"
he admitted.

she added thoughtfully, 81 think he

Wilkerson laughed.
Mrs. Darnell glanced at him with an
expression strange on her handsome
face. "Yes, am sure he loved me-"

CITY MUST PAY

In the case of EbeHr Low against the
city and county of, Honolulu. an action
for damages, resulting from a, defec-
tive highway Of he approach to the
crossing OF the 'Wahiawa stream, Cir.
cult Judge Ashford; In decision hand
ed down today, finds for the plaintiff
in the sum of $130' and orders that the
costs Of the matter be taxed to the
defendant.
According to the decision, which is
a lengthy one, the city and county
erected a temporary bridge over the
Wahiawa stream in August, 1913. On
September Is of the, same year, Mr..
Lows automobile was damaged when
he made a quick turn to avoid running
over the old bridge, which was being
repaired. a. "4,; ..st>#
Commenting ON the matter Of defec-
tive highways, Judge Ashford, in his
decision, says, in part: -:
The law, in my opinion obliges the
defendant to maintain its highways in
a reasonably safe condition for such
traffic as usually frequents them. This
would assuredly be the case with all
Temporary structures adopted for use
when repairs to, or reconstruction of,
the highway or permanent bridges are
in progress. Otherwise it is expected
that the ordinary TRAGIC of a
bridge or of a highway is detected
from safe and permanent, to a tenn
porary, route or structure, the city and
county must, at its peril, see to it that
the TEMPORARY route or structure shall
be reasonably adequate and safe,
and no such condition Of weather as
may be ordinarily expected or antici.
pated, should be accepted as an ex,
cuse for not keeping the temporary
structure or highway in such reason
ably safe condition

MACADAM ROADS
sIFFE|:RIlNGF,R|0|M||
HUGE TRACTORS
City Engineer Warns Sugar
Companies to Be Careful
or Must Pay for Repairs

p Because of the fact that sugar COM
panies on the island are running their
heavy tractors over the roads of the
county, and thereby doing consider
able damage to the surface, City and
County Engineer L. NJ. Whitehouse is
sending out letters to the managers
of the different companies telling
them how their tractors may be fixed
to avoid this damage.
The operation is a simple one"
says Engineer Whitehouse, 'tand
nothing but the fact that drivers OF
the tractors are lazy win keep it from
being used. Ar that needs to be done
on a turn, as this Is the place where
the roads suffer most; IL to remove q
large PIN which connects the wheel
with the axle Of the tractor. BY the
removal of the pin the inside wheel is
allowed to turn backward instead of
remaining stationary and grinding out
the road" ' =
An Interesting feature of macadam
is the fact that when road of this
sort has been badly cut up by heavy
traffic; and Is seemingly ruined, other
vehicles passing over 1t will soon iron
1t down into shape again, and practi'
cally cover all the scars made by the
former machines"
The city and county engineer does
not feel, however, that this fact should
warrant allowing the sugar companies
to run their tractors at will over the
roads, and Is accordingly sending out
the letters.
These letters will ask, furthermore,
that the sugar companies get permits.

In addition to this, all races not in

The table OF population is as fol,

PIEPER ADMITS
SHOOTING WIFE;
PLEA CHANGED

With the consent Of the prosecu-
ton, Circuit Judge Ashford today gave
permission to William Pieper to With
draw his plea Of not guilty to charge
of murder in the first degree, and al
lowed him to enter plea of guilty
of murder in the second degree.
Pieper was charged with first de.
gree murder In an Indictment return
ed by the territorial grand jury a few
weeks ago. It was alleged that he
shot and killed Susie Pfeper, his Ha-
Waiian wife. AT the time Of his ar
raignment, his attorneys asked for a
weeks continuance in order to de-
termine upon plea. Pieper pleaded
not guilty. The remainder of the
jury was to have been drawn this
morning.
Following Pieper's plea Of guilty to
second degree murder, the court an
nouneed that sentence will be pro
nounced next Saturday morning at 8
O'Clock. The penalty for second de-
gree murder may be life sentence,
or it may be any number OF years
not less than 20.
In explaining his reason for consent
ing to the withdrawal Of the plea on
the first charge, A. M. Brown, city and
county attorney, said he was con-
WINGED that he would not be able to
get more than a verdict of second
degree murder, or probably even less,
from the Jury. The fact that Pieper
attempted to shoot himself after he
had killed his wife might have some
weight with the Jury in tending to
show that the man was not in his
right mind when he did the shooting,
he said.
Several relatives of Pieper, includ
ing his mother, were in court today.
The aged mother wept bitterly as the
patrol wagon carried her son away.
