There are persons who do their
saying before they do their thinking;
who say a thing the sense of which
may surprise them afterwards. 1t is
very bad way, and often gets them
and their friends into trouble.
1t is a method Rudyard Kipling has
used on more than one occasion, and,
latteTly in a poem on America, or.
moro properly speaking, the United
States.
OF this poem recent Saturday
Evening Post says:
1T is a bit difficult to forgive the
self-I1ghteous Misrepresentation of the
United States which England's unoffi:
cial poet-laureate recently handed us
in doubtful verse
I'VE are not in the least aware OF
having found our soul through the
Kaiser'@ forcing US into war we
wished to avoid" ....,. -.
It's the sort Of criticism which has
made a certain class of English highly
disagreeable to Canadians and Ameri-
cans of, a saner temperament.
The Sydney Sun in fairminded edi-
torial sums up our part in war: 49,.
America is at war for the sixth
time in her history; and this much
must be confessed for the great Re-
public, that in every struggle no mat
ter how mixed the motives of war may
have been, a policy Of liberation has
always been included among them.
Therefore, the world may truthfully
say that they never. went to war in
spirit of mere greed, nor with tyran-
nous ideas set before them. ..-
Moreover, the American at war, in
the five struggles which he has I'M
dertaken in two centuries, has inyari.1
ably fought with a singularly brave.
and chivalrous spirit" 4

autobiography he did not live to fin

he once attended at the beginning of
his work in the United States: My

such as few parties had ever given US
before. -. t...-=.. -.

THE SCHOOL CHILD
AND THE TENEMENT |

fN4Nb
At recent meeting Of the Honoiu-
lu AID Club strong and impressive
presentation was made by DR.. Dai
YGen Chang concerning the tenament
situation. He called particular at.
teption to the fact that so per cent. OF
Honolulu's school children dwell IN
the congested parts of the city.
DR.. Chang has done a good service
by reminding Honolulu of her tene-
ments. All teachers and other per.
sons interested in real educational
advancement in Hawaii are bound to
be interested in the homes and nome
life OF Hawaii's school children.
No matter how highly perfected the
schools and the school systems oe.
come, the school day is but a frac-
tional part of the child's day. The
child is outside of school great deal
more OF the time than he is inside
the school. The home influences are
of tremendous Importance. The ex-'
periences in the home and on the
streets are as vivid to the child as are
the experiences of the school room.
All is education, for good or bad.
Education is bigger than any school.
1t goes on all day long. and on holt
days as well as on school days.
The child in the congested district
is liable to be, and commonly is, sub
jected to a host Of demoralizing and
devitalizing influences, which may
seriously impare or wholly nullify the
value of his school work.

Does he have suitable breakfast,
or does he come to school hungry
and unfit for work?
Is the child's street clean, or must
he play amidst the garbage heaps
and filth Of the gutter?
Is he adequately protected from

that she had Rodney to thank for this

the engagement broken"

"One can hardly blame him for that,
Miss Illingworth. The failure of the
bridge seriously embarrassed the Mart
let Bridge company, and it is a great
handicap for them to overcome in seek

"But did not summon you here to

Il haven't any tangible evidence what

shook her head and smiled at him.

stances that make me feel that he
could not have been to blame. Have
you any ground for your conviction?"

CHAPTER XII.
MarshaIino the Evidence.

For all her sweetness and light,
Helen Illingworth was lowered with
intense energy and powerful will.
What she began she finished, and she
was not deferred from beginning things
by fears of consequences. She was con-
vinced that Meade had not told the
truth in that famous declaration in his
fathers office. She respected him for
his desire to shield his fathers name
and fame even at the expense of his
veracity, albeit she would not have
been woman If she had not resented
the fact that in SO doing he had sacri-
feed her happiness rs we'll as his own.
The question whether Meade. Jr..
was the more responsible or even re-
sponsible at all was more or less
academic to Colonel 1llingworth. He
would have had nothing further to do
with either of them if both were living
and certainly not with the younger sur
vivor. He tried to believe that if it
had come to final choice the daugh-
ter, in spite of the fact that such is
the habit OF women in the experience
of life. would not have given up age
and her father for youth and her lover.
Indeed she was too genuinely devoted
to her father to do that except as q
last resort.
She cherished the hope first, that
Meade could re-establish himself-she
had too sweeping a confidence in his
character and capacity to doubt that
and second. that it could be shown
that he had not been responsible for
the failure Of the bridge. She was
more aud more convinced that his as
sumption of the blame had been die
tated by the highest Of motives and
instead of being fit subject for CEN
sure and condemnation, he merited ad-
miration and applause. She hoped with
her woman's wit to prove this event
ually, perhaps In spite Of her lover,
and to this end she applied herself u.s.
siduously to solve the problem.
To her. at her request. came Rod
ney. Now the reporters had dealt very
gently with Helen nlingworth. They
had made no announcement Of the en-
gagemcnt or Of its breaking at her fa.
TIERS earnest request. There was nc
necessity Of bringing her Into the
bridge story, although 1t would have
added q dramatic touch to their mar
ratives. Her inclination mad been to
avow 1t. But upon reflection she saw
Cheyenne record., 1917-06-21

1t was a very humble program, not
at all promising or heroic or romantic,
Just a beginning. He would work on
and wait. They say that all things
come to him who waits. That is only
half true. Some things come to him
who waits sometimes. That Is more
nearly accurate. Well. he could think
Of no better plan. So he bade Win
ters good-by, swearing him again to
secrecy until he should lift the ban
against speech, and rode away. When
he got to the little village on the
Picket Wire below the dam he
stopped a long time gazing at the long
bridge, or viaduct, Of steel that was re-
placing the old wooden trestle and
carrying the railroad from the hills
to the eastward over the river.
It was not such an undertaking as
the lost International, still 1t was in
was work that would be intensely con-
genial, to which he was drawn almost
irresistibly, yet he managed to hold
himself aloof. The Martlet people were
building this steel bridge and they had
just finished the arch up under the
mesa. A well-known construction COM
pany was building the great earth dam
across the Picket Wire in the valley.
Meade's engineering life had been
He had never been connected with the
Martlet and its employees until he had
been associated with his father on the
International. He could have gone
among them with little danger of i'm
mediate discovery, since most Of the
men he had known had gone down with
the bridge, but he decided not to do
SO. The work on the dam would be
simpler and he would have less oppor-
tunity to betray himself and 1t would
give him more chance to work up in a
plausible and reasonable way. Besides,
If Colonel Illingworth came on to in
spect the bridge, as he would probably
do, Meade would have to leave before
his arrival. The dam would be safer.
No one would ever think of looking for
him there. And no one would ever
recognize in the rough-bearded work
man the clear-cut, smoOth-faced young
engineer Of other days.
The dam was twenty miles up the
valley. Yes, he would be less apt to be
observed working there than on the
bridge. Yet as he recalled that pri-
vate car and that it might come there,
he realized that she might be on it.
His heart leaped even Us it had leaped
ut the sight Of the viaduct then build
ing, as it had quivered to the familiar
rat-tat-tat of the pneumatic riveters
and the clang and the clash of the
structural steel. But what was the
use? He would not dare trust himself
TO look at her even from a distance.
No, 1t was the dam that best suited his
purpose, so he turned away from the
bridge and rode up the valley. There
he was fortunate in falling into a po-
sition, rs has been set forth.
Cheyenne record., 1917-06-21

to tell us the exact truth at any rate"
Winters passed the letter over to
Meade without comment. The en-
gineer read it with passionate eager
ness. He was hungry for any news of
Helen nlingworth. Rodney was call
ing upon her. A sharp pang of jealousy
shot through him at that, although he
knew there was no reason. Dear old
Rodney! He could see his grave face,
his disappearing manner, his air of un-
belief, as he had taken down Meade's
words In the office that tragic day.
OF course, Helen Illingworth was not
recluse as he was. She mingled in
society. She took up life with its de-
mands. She entered into it's pleasures
and fulfilled its duties. He was jea-
lous of everyone who might come in
contact with her, but he knew the
names of none except Rodney.
And they were suspicious of his
avowal! That was balm to his soul.
OF course Helen Illingworth was sus-
picious, but why should Rodney doubt
his assumption of the blame? And
they were working to establish his in
nocence. The thought disqhieted him
lest they should discover the truth in
some way. And it gave him joy also.
They would work despite any remons-
trance from him. He thought of that
protest to his father always with un-
easiness. If he could only have found
it and destroyed it himself he would
have been happier. Could it be in eN-
istence somewhere? Would it turn up ?
Would they unearth 1t? Well, he had
glad those two disbelieved and We're
working for him.
Meade had been the most brilliant,
Winters the most Indifferent, Rodney
the most persevering, Of the trio at col
lege. He remembered that well. His
first thought was to forbid Rodney to
do anything further, although how far
his friend would respect his wishes he
could not tell. Anyway, he did not
have to decide that matter, because he
could not say word to him. To
have allowed Winters to write would
have betrayed his whereabouts. He
was living with Winters under an as
sumed name of course. He had had
his hair cut differently and had grown
a beard and mustache. He thought IT
would have taken keen eye indeed to
have recognized him with these
changes.
In the end he handed the letter back
to Winters. only charging him that if
he wrote to Rodney he must not betray
the fact that Meade was with him. He
had plenty of time to think over the
situation. He decided finally that so
