He relates how he read it aloud to
his own father, who caught fire at
once with all the romance and child

His stories, that every night of his
life he put himself to sleep with, dealt
perpetually with ships. roadside inns,
robbers, old sailors and commercial
travellers before the ela of steam.

Looking After the Departing Ship.

His father threatened to disown him.
Dorothy broke off the engagement and
announced her own to neighboring
ranchman, a man of good family, but
much older than herself. Jim had
gone North, vowing never to return.
The girls perfidy, as he considered 1t,
had eaten into his soul, turning his
mind to bitterness. In Naulakha he
saw that simple happiness which he
believed was not to be found in civil
lied lands. For five years he had not
heard from anyone. The Indians called
him "The Man Who Gets No Letters"
The women at the settlement had
been talking to Naulakha, and had
scared her. Day after day she
watched Jim with furtive terror. He
had always been kind to her, and they
had been good comrades on their sum-
mer trips into the caribou lands. But
she knew the call of the blood. Espe-
cially the girl dreaded the monthly
arrival of the mail carrier in his dog
drawn sled. Then she trembled for
fear that letter would come for Jim.
II once a letter came, she knew that
all would be over.
But the winter drew to a close, and
there was never letter for Jim.
Naulakha began to gather new cour-
age. He had meant what he said,
then. They were to start south with
the breakup of the ice in May. When
once they were married she would
have no further cause for fear. Then
nobody could take him away from her.
1t was on the last mail day before
their departure that the mail carrier
stopped before their cabin.
There's some mail for you, Jim,
he said. "A regular bundle. I'm TAX
ing it to the post Office now"
Jim started and looked around ap-
prehensively. He knew Naulakha's
terror. But the girl was not in the
cabin, and he did not know that she
had heard him, as she stood outside,
holding one hand in panic against her
heart.
'Tll go up, then" said Jim.
Naulakha watched him depart. 1t
was long time before he returned.
When he did he had a bundle of let
tiers in his pocket and was reading
one in his hand. As he entered the
cabin he thrust the letters away.
That meal was silent one. That
night Naul,kha cried herself-not to

TT is announced that the territorial
government of Hawaii will restore
to their former grandeur the an
cient temples upon the islands.
Several impressive examples of these
twelfth century edifices are said to be
in such a state of preservation that
work upon them may be undertaken
with certainty as to the correctness of
the restoration. The Mookiui temple,
one of the most striking, is described
as having walls aggregating over 500
feet, with breadth of eight feet and
a height Of 20 feet.
The Hawaiians are an interesting
people doomed, seemingly, to early ex-
tinction as a result of their contact
with the invading and appropriating

with the consultations of his religion,

the term is used against what
agitators of a sort term the mar
rowmindedness of the conventions
which govern the relations OF the
sexes in nearly all civilized countries;
conventions differing in detail, but
based in common upon the require
ment of chastity in women and fixing
for failure to meet that requirement
sundry social penalties. There was no
word in the Hawaiian language for
chastity. Children bore the names OF
their mothers because that method OF
naming them was the only practical
one where the question of paternity
was so frequently unanswerable.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

"Some day you will go back to your
own people," said Naulakha, kneeling
beside Jim Starrett.
IF that time comes, you'll go with
me-" answered Jim. ''But don't you
be afraid, dearie. / guess there aren't
many girls in the United States can
hold candle to YOU"
Naulakha looked at Jim searchingly,
and sighed. She knew the history of
such unions as hers. At first she had
loved Jim with passion that cast out
all fear. But lately women in the set
Element had been talking to her, fright
ening her.
Naulakha was the daughter of Rus
sian trader and a woman of the Inlet
tribe. She had been educated by the
missionaries, who found her spearing
salmon, and took her from her moth
ers tent to rear. They had made
good woman of her, and a lady, after
a fashion. The girl had lived happily
among the missionaries until Jim
came along, prospecting for gold.

marry them, knowing what the result
would be, Jim had taken the girl along
with him. Now they were settled for
the winter at Olifants, a tiny place
within the circle, where never mis-
sionary had penetrated. 1t was i'm
possible to marry her there, though
Jim desired to do so, and the union
was, under the circumstances, looked
upon as valid by the settlers and their
womenfolk.
When spring came Jim was going to
take Naulakha south and marry her.
He himself had been in Alaska five
years. He had been educated at Yale
and his father was a prosperous ranch
owner in Oregon. There had been an
unhappy love affair Jim had been en-
gagged to Dorothy for year, and they
had been very happy, only Jim fell
into bad company, drank, gambled.

"Jim, dearest"
Jim looked up from the table,
where he was going over the &C
counts.
There's a Syrian woman at the
door who says she wants to see you.
What shall l do?'

her away"
"She hasn't any lace to sell, dear.

Dorothy opened the door. In the
lamplight Jim saw the features of
Naulakha, looking at him out of a
sort of hazy cloud. Behind the cloud
Jim saw dimly the icebound, glacier
covered slopes, and the stunted pine
forests where the caribou roamed. He
remembered the past, those sweet
days Of companionship upon the hills,
those nights together in the cabin.
For q moment he was back again
with Naulakha in the old days.
What do you want?" he gasped.
Il want my husband" said Naulakha
slowly.
Jim saw the first shadow of doubt
cross Dorothy's face. She went up to
the stranger.

He is not here. Are you i'll? Is there

Naulakha's glance roamed from the
one to the other. Are you married
to him?" she asked.
"Of course / am" said Dorothy,
bridling.
And you are happy together?'
Dorothy looked at her intently; then
she took the girls hands in hers.
Eyes, we are very happy" she said
soothingly.
And you-you are happy?" asked
Naulakha of Jim.

which he did not recognize.

other moment she was gone in the
darkness.
Dorothy came back to Jim.

at us. Do you think we ought to do
anything for her, dear?"

than take Vsrdun. or drive back
