That sight, II any other was needed,
completed the full and splendid es-
innate of Ray Longstreth and wrought
strangely upon his heart.

"Yes, he's taken care of us all since

Lawson spoke breathlessly, with
hagsord face and shadowed eyes. He
had 40 shame. He was simply In the
grip Of passion.
Longstreth gazed with dark, con-
trolled fury at this relative. In that
look Duane saw a strong, unscrupu-
lous man fallen into evil ways, but
still a man. 1t betrayed Lawson to
be the wild and passionate weakling.
Like the great majority Of evil and
unrestrained men on the border, he
had reached a point where influence
was futile. Reason had degenerated.

citement. greed, appetite were rife in
them. Duane marked, however. a
striking exception TO the usual run
of strangers he had been In the habit
Of seeing. Snecker had gone or was
under cover. Again Duane caught a
vague rumor of the coming Of Poggln,
yet he never seemed to arrive. More
over the goings-on among the
habitues Of the resorts and cowboys
who came in to drink and gamble
were unusually mild in comparison
with former conduct. This lull, how
ever, did not deceive Duane. 1t could
not last. The wonder was that II
had lasted so long.
Duane went often TO see Mrs Lara
nile and her children. One afternoon
while he was there he saw Miss Long
streth and Ruth ride up to the door.
They carried a basket. Evidently
they had heard OF Mrs. Laramie's
trouble. Duane felt strangely glad.
but he went into an adjoining room
rather than meet them.
"Mrs. Laramie, I've come TO see
you" said Miss Longstreth, cheer
fully.
The little room was not very light
there being only one window and the
doors, but Duane could see plainly
enough. Mrs. Laramie lay. hollow.
checked and haggard, on a bed. Once
she had evidently been a woman OF
some comellness. The ravages OF
trouble and grief were there to read
in her worn face; 1t had not, however
any of the hard and bitter lines tina;
had characterized her husbands.
Duane wondered, considering that
Longstreth had ruined Laramie, how
Mrs. Laramie was going to regard the
daughter OF an enemy.

Longstreth, impressively.
Floyd bowed his head at that, as
II the significance had just occurred
to him. But he was not long at loss.

Lawson halted in his restless walk
and leaned against the stone mantel-
piece. He had his hands in his pock-
cts. He squared himself as II this
was his last stand. He looked desper-

absence OF his usual nervous excite

Longstreth gave a slight start,

pump EXPENSE

Three bids were submitted Friday
by local firms for an electric pump
to be installed at kalihi pumping sta
ton. These bids were as follows:
Cation, Neill & Co., $12,650; Homo
lulu Iron Works, $14,750; Hawaiian
Electric Co., $4,000. AS the equip
ment named in the Cation, Neill Of
fer did not comply with specifications,
the attorney generals office has rem
dered an opinion declaring the bid
cannot be accepted.
The loan fund commission, which
has charge Of the work, has sent a
letter to the board Of supervisors ask
ing if the city will assume the cost
of installing and all cost of purchase
above $4,000 This latter would
amount to $3.50 If the Honolulu Iron
works bid is accepted. A letter was
sent to the city on June 80 but has
never been heard from, it Is said.
1t is probable that as soon as the
Maole ditch job is ended in September
the commission will close up its
books and business, awaiting the time
when the pump is installed some 10
months from now. After that the
commission will definitely cease bust
ness

MAUI VEGETABLE
CROPS DAMAGED

That the vegetable gardens on Maui
are being damaged by the drought to
a greater extent than the sugar crops,
and that the pineapples have not been
touched by the dry spell, Is the word
brought from the Valley Island by
John L. Fleming Of James F. Nor
gan Co.
The sugar crops Of 1918 and 1919
have been somewhat damaged in
placer but not to the amount which
previous reports have had it, Mr.
Fleming says. Large areas OF the
sugar field are yellow, particularly on
the Waikiki and Maui Agricultural
Co.'S plantations, but a good rain in
the near future will save all but a
few inches OF the stock at the butt,
AS q result OF the drought the 1918
estimate may have to be cut a few
thousand tons.
The vegetable crops are suffering
considerable and in some instances
truck gardens have almost been
burned up. The grass on the ranges
is also very dry and the cattle are
not getting the proper feed and are
looking poorly.

Half of the Women will Be !!
Supporting Themselves in
1910, Pastors Prediction

Rev. DIR. Waldo Amos of Hoboken.
N. Y, predicts that by 1910 half the
women in the country will be self-sup-
porting, and that marriages Will grad
ually decrease in number.
1T is a startling fact that young
women are not marrying today" he
said, according to the New York Eve
ming Journal. Hundreds of thousands
are going into business. The supreme
mission of women In life should be to
become mothers and to make homes
The objection that many have to being
married is that they become depend
ents."
Doctor Amos said that all through
New England there are many villages
which are known as "she villages"
The men have left for the large cities
in the hope Of gaining wealth.
"Men are largely responsible for the
failure of women to marry" he said.
"Many men are too busy making
money to marry, or refuse to marry
on small salaries. This has forced
women into business. .-.,.
statistics show that In 1900 one
out Of every five women was self-sup-
porting. BY 1925 one out Of every
three, and by 1910, one out Of every
two will be self sup

Avoid getting leather wet, but when
wet and muddy, gently wipe off the
mud instead of letting it dry on and
while the leather is still wet, rub in
a little warm oil. The shoe should
dry slowly. Do not place it in hot
oven or on a hot radiator, as intense
heat and cold are bad for leather and
especially the changes from one to
the other.
Shoes should be kept clean and we'll
polished, as this prevents dirt getting
into the pores and rotting the leather.
