can industry as whole"
The same statement contains practi.
cal admissions of the soundness of the
protective tariff principle. The Depart.
ment's bulletin says I'm more or
less uncomfortable way, we have sud
denly been brought to recognize the
unwisdom, the folly, of shipping vast
amounts of the crude material of our
farms, forests and mines 5000 miles
across the ocean, and buying it back in
a manufactured form, at vastly en-
HANGED price. We have likewise come
to recognize the absurdity of allowing
many natural products of the tropics,
of South America, of the Far East, to
find their way to Europe, and of paying
foreign intelligence and skill to trans
form them into articles of daily need in
our lives"
This attitude now taken by a Depart.
ment under the control of Democratic
administration is exactly what Repub.
licans have contended for from the
foundation of the party. During every
Democratic administration, we have
shipped raw material abroad and bought
it back in manufactured form at vast.
ly increased price. We were doing ex.
actly that under the present Democratic
tariff law, until the European War
interviewed and served as protective
wall to cut off foreign imports
Upon the close of the war. millions of
men will return to active industry and
the removal of the shipping embargo
will release vast quantity of manu-
featured articles now held in Germany
because Of the destruction of that
merchant marine. These are
facts which the Department, will be
compelled eventually to admit, along
with other admissions reluctantly made.

saw the writhing abomination in
Dottie Fairchild's hair, dangling over
her eyes and the trap Of her bodice.
I was interested in leprosy, and
upon that, as upon every other island
object, Kersdale had encyclopedia
knowledge. In fact, leprosy was one
of his hobbies. He was an ardent
defender Of the settlement at Molo-
kai, where all the island lepers were
segregated. There was much talk and
feeling among the natives, famed by
the demagogues, concerning the cruel
ties of Molokai, where men and won.

and family, were compelled to live in

died. There were no reprieves, no

of Molokai.

Kersdale insisted. "And they are in
finitely better of than their friends
and relatives who have nothing the
matter with them. The horrors Of
Molokai are all poppycock. 1 can take

within two feet Of me, the ugly ven
omous thing was writhing in her hair.
It threatened at any moment to fall
down upon her exposed shoulders
we had just come out from dinner.
''What is it?" she asked, starting to
raise her hand to her head.
"Don't!" I cried. "Don't!"
"But what is it?" she insisted, grow
ing frightened by the fright she read
in my eyes and on my stammering
lips.
My exclamation attracted Kersdale's
attention. He glanced our way care
lessly, but in that glance took in ev-
erything. He came over to us, but
without haste.
"Please don't move. Dottie." he said
quietly.
He never hesitated, nor did he hurry
and make q bungle of it.
"Allow me-" he said.
And with one hand he caught her
scarf and drew it tightly around her
shoulders so that the centipede could
not fall inside her bodice. With the
other hand-the right-he reached
into her hair, caught the repulsive
abomination as near as he was able
by the nape Of the neck, and held it
tightly between thumb and forefinger
as he drew it from her hair. It was
as horrible and heroic sight as man
could wish to see. It made my flesh
crawl. The centipede, seven inches
Of squirming legs, writhed and twisted
and dashed itself about his hand, the
body turning around the fingers and
the legs digging into the skin and
scratching as the beast eudeavored
to free itself. It bit him twice-I saw

surgery i've minutes afterward, with
Doctor Goodhue scarifying the wounds
and injecting permaganate Of potash.
The next morning Kersdale's arm was
as big as barrel, and 1t was three
weeks before the swelling went down.
All of which has nothing to do with
my story, but which could not avoid
giving in order to show that Jack
Kersdale was anything but a coward.
It was the cleanest exhibition of grit

mind going down there myself for the
rest Of my days. It is lovely spot"
So Kersdale on the Joyous leper. He
was not afraid Of leprosy. He
said so himself, and that there wasn't
one chance in a million for him or any
other white man to catch it, though
he confessed afterward that one of
his school chums, Alfred STARTER,
had contracted it, gone to Molokai, and
there died.
"You know, In the old days." Kers-
dale explained, there was no certain
test for leprosy. Anything unusual or
abnormal was sufficient to send fell
low to Molokai. The result was that
dozens were sent who were no more
lepers than you or /. But they don't
make that mistake now. The board
of health tests are infallible. The
funny thing is that when the test was
discovered, they Immediately went
down to Molokai and applied it, and
they found a. number who were not
lepers. These were Immediately de-
ported. Happy to get away? They
walled harder at leaving the settle
ment than when they left Honolulu to
go to it. Some refused to leave. and
really had to be forced out. One Of
them even married q leper woman in
the last stages and then wrote pa
thetfc letters to the board of health,
protesting against his expulsion on
the ground that no one was so we'll

wife,"

Very few conversations are entirely

There was perfect understanding, no
limitation Of expression and nothing
to be bored about in this particular
conversation. And 1t was very easy
to understand. Perhaps 1t would not
be fair to tell about everything they
said, and It was nobody's business
anyway. 1t really was what they did
not say that was important and worth

Hawaii is q queer place. Every.
thing socially is what may call topsy.
turvy. Not but what things are cor
rect. They are almost too much SO.
But still things are sort of upside
down. The most ultraexclusive set
there is the Missionary Crowd" It
comes with rather a shock TO learn
that in Hawaii the obscure, martyr.
dom.seeking missionary sits at the
head of the table Of the moneyed aris-
tocracy. But it is true. The humble
New Englanders who came out in the
third decade of the nineteenth CEN
fury, came for the lofty purpose of
teaching the Kanakas the true relig-
ION. the worship of the only one genu-
Inc and undeniable God. So we'll did
they succeed in this. and also in civil
izing the Kanaka, that by the second
or third generation he was practically
extinct. This being the fruit of the
seed of the Gospel, the fruit Of the
seed of the missionaries (the sons of
the grandsons) was the possession of
the islands themselves, OF the land,
the ports. the town sites, and the sugar
plantations. The missionary who
came to give the Bread of Life re-
NAMED to gobble up the whole heath
en- feast.
But that is not the Hawaiian queer
ness I started out to tell. Only one
cannot speak Of things Hawaiian with
out mentioning the missionaries.
There is Jack Kersdale, the man I
wanted to tell about; he came Of mis-
sionary stock. That is, on his grand
fathers side. His grandfather was
old Isaac Kersdale, q Yankee trader,
who got his start for million in the
old days by selling cheap whisky and
square-faced gin. There's another
queer thing. The old missionaries and
old traders were mortal enemies. You
see, their interests conflicted. But
their children made It up by inter-
marrying and dividing the islands be-
tween them.
Life in Hawaii is q song. That's
the way stoddard puts it in his ~Ha-
wall Nei:"
Thy life is music-Fate the notes prolong!
Each isle q stanza, and the whole song.
And he was right. Flesh is golden
there. The native women are sun
ripe Junos, the native men bronzed
Apollos. They sing, and dance. and
all are flower bejeweled and flower
crowned. And, outside the rigid "Mis-
sionary Crown" the white men yield
to the climate and the sun. and no
matter how busy they may be. are
prone to dance and sing and wear
flowers behind their ears and in their
hair. Jack Kersdale was one of these
fellows. He was one Of the busiest
men I ever met. He was several
times millionaire. He was sugar
king, coffee planter, a rubber pi-
Oneer, a cattle rancher, and q pro-

Let them break" Kersdale an
swered. "Ill pay your fine and square
you with the police. Put it to them.
That's right Faster! Faster!

he muttered, sinking back in the seat
and with trembling hands wiping the
sweat away.
The carriage was bouncing, swayine
and lurching around corners at such q
wild pace as to make conversation i'm.
possible. Besides, there was nothing
to say. But could hear him mutter.
