WHEN A GIRL MARRIES 49,
A New Serial Of Young Mar ried Life a2
CHAPTER CxIv.

There in the grim and secretive apart
ment which Terry and Carlotta Sturges
and l were ransacking for some clew to
Betty, a sudden inspiration came to me.
Betty had said Not tonlght-soon, per-
haps, Anne" when / begged for the OPP
portunity of standing by her as she al
ways did by me-and felt that was al
most a promise. l became certain that
she had written to mel would go home
and find letter there.
Terry leaped at any suggestion that
meant action, moving toward some clew
in his search, Carlotta volunteered to
try to find what taxi company Betty
called just before leaving.
"That girls brick said Terry, quiet
ly, as We rode downtown in the elevated.
Anthony Norreys had used his very
words
Our taxi was waiting when we got
down to the street. We fairly leaped
into the car snd in almost complete 81
lence drove to my apartment.
When we arrived there I hurried at
once to get my mail.
There were three letters In the Har-
rison box. I Jerked them out. One for
me from Neal, typed envelope for Jim
and an announcement from a millinery.
that was all-no line from Betty.
tried TO ignore the sudden sinking Of
my heart
Come up and wait for Jim. He's fond
of Betty, too, and he'll tell us what a
pair of Stiles we are to fuss just be-
cause she goes Off on some affairs Of her
own and doesn't consult u.s."
Yes, I'd like to see old Jimmie" agreed
Terry, as he stumbled into the elevator
after me.
The grinning elevator boy turned to
me with an announcement:
"Mistar Harrison. he phone. Yas'm,
he do. He say tell you he be here d.
reckly-no later than 'leven."
Its after that now" declared Terry,
glancing at his wrist watch as he spoke
Nine forty ive." he reported with an
air Of amaZement. II thought It was
midnight"
He smiled at me wanly bat APOLOGIZE
cally as we left the elevator, and added
with little effort to poke fun at him
self:
ITS been a wretchedly long evening,
even though I've spent part OF It with
you, dear lady"
I turned from fumbling to locate the
keyhole and laid my hand on Terry's
arm
Terry, | know" l said II love Betty,
too. l only found 1t out last night but
It's been trying TO come through to day

those waters and our fleet must stick
close to our own Western coast, at least
until our ships in the Atlantic can get
into the Pacific. Naval officials say that
our possession of the Panama Canal
would permit this to be done within a
few days and declare that dividing our
Navy into two fleets, one I'm the Atlantic,
the other in the Pacific, does not weaken
our power at sea materially. Destruc-
ton of the canal to prevent the uniting
of the two fleets is not impossible, and,
IL this were done at the outbreak of war,
our Pacific feet would be helpless.
Passages by some of our States of
laws designed to prevent Japanese from
owning lands in those States is the thing
that has riled japan, toward us, In this
they are not consistent because In Japan
they do not permit land ownership by
foreigners. Evidently, according to the
Japanese reasoning, what is sauce for the
goose by no means is sauce for the gan
der.
We forbid indiscriminate immigration
Of Japanese to this country. We put no
bar in the way of japanese going to our
island possessions and we are letting
them make up thc bulk of the popula-
ton Of those islands The United States
Is, first Of all. white mans country.
Why do we not only keep 1t that way,
but keep the islands which are so vital
to us in the Pacific the same way?

Intermarriage is quite common. except
with the japanese, who are more in
clined to stick TO their own race as a
general thing. This accounts for the
hundreds Of picture brides" who an
nually come TO Hawaii to wed japanese,
brides who are oil Japanese in thought

future mothers, can be expected to pass
on to their children the things In which

PUss IN BOOTS JR.

BY David Cory. -
Now, let me see. Just az we finished
the last story the good-natured dolphin
who owned the hotel Wave Crest had
turned a somersault and sung a song,
ana after that l guess he thought he'd
done enough to make Pugs and the litJ
Tie white sailor duck laugh, SO he turned
ana went, inside bis hotel and stood be-
mind the desk with the big register book
In front Of him and waited for Puss to
come up and write down his name. SO
Fuss took pen and wrote:
"Puss In Boots, Junior
Lord Carabas Estate.
Fairy Land, Somewhere -
And then the little white sailor duck
took quill pen and wrote:
Commodore Drake.
Good Ship Duckey,
Ocean Blue"
And then the Hotel Keeper, Mr.. Dol
phin, wrote a number opposite, and then
ne said, DO you want to go up to your
rooms1"
mot yet" said Puss. WED rather
look around" and then be and Commo-
dore Drake went out on the piazza and
gazed over the ocean. And just then
great big whale swan by and blew a
0'Aeolh VI water way up INTO the air. L
guess a piece of sea weed tickled his nose,
for when a whale spouts he's really
sneezing, I'm told.
And after that a pretty Cat Fish swan
up and began to purr. And I guess she
would have asked Puss lot OF questions
IL all Of sudden a bad Dog Fish hadn't
come up and barked, and this 80 fright
ened the Pussy Cat Fish that she went
into her room and locked the door and
put the key in her vanity bag and hid 1t
under her pillow.

Dolphin, IN give you the finest fish
dinner you ever ate. a whale fish steak:
and some sea gull eggs, and pint of sea
cows milk, some sea weed sauce, and
water cress, and oysters served on silk"
But would you believe it, Puss didn't
feel hungry, so he and the duck sailor
said goodby and went back to their boat
and sailed away, over the oceans misty
spray, until they came to the Land Of
Nod, where sleep was sent by the little
Dream God And as soon as Puss and the
little white duck set foot on shore, they
became so sleepy that their eyes winked
and blinked, and pretty soon they both
lay down on the soft grass and went
sound to sleep. And then the twinkle,

other nations In Hawaii in high birth
rate and a low death rate. The Portu-
| guese, the next highest in the list, have
less than onefourth the number of the
| Japanese in the islands, from which II
| is evident that the Japanese soon will
be in the dominant position so far as
numbers are concerned.
1t is a striking fact that the Japanese,
{ originally brought to the island to sat
isfy the need OF cheap labor on the plan
tations, have proved themselves amhi-
tious for better things and rapidly are
becoming tenants, enter business or the
professions and take active part in the
affairs OF the Island, socially, politically
aud educationally. Furthermore, of the
more than $4,000 adult Japanese, more
than $1,000 are engaged In gainful oc-
cupations. They are neither idlers nor
trihers by nature, they stay out of jail
and trouble, save their money and adj
just themselves very easily to condi-
lions.
We do not know whether the Japanese
want to gain political control of Hawaii
or not We do not know whether there
still turks in the minds Of japanese Off
cials the belief that some day they are
going to declare war on us. seize our
Pacific possessions and Their make us
come 10 terms. The late World War
may have induced them TO realize the
true strength and power of America. But
II the japanese do come to grips with
us we are going 10 lose the Philippines
and Hawaii before We can get started,
unless the United States adopts policy
that will prevent trouble before It be-
gins.
Hawaii is the keystone to our defense
in the Pacific. without It IN our posses

lONG-L0ST BELL TOLLS AGAIN
Restored After Mysterious Disappear
ancs Of More Than a Quarter
Of a Century.

Exactly a quarter Of century, to
the day, after the old bell that rang
in the church on Chenlere Caminada
went down in the awful storm that
wrecked the settlement, II rang again
on Grand isle last October as the party
that came to dedicate the new church
on the island stepped ashore from the
boat, says the New Orleans Picayune'
This bell has an interesting history
Father D'Espinosa brought to the
beach the costly plate Of his family
But on Oamlnada beach there was
little use for costly silver, so It was
sold and the proceeds used to purchase
a bell for the church.
After the storm the bell lay neglect
ed In the barren sand. Archbishop
Chapelle ordered the bell returned e
the Caminada people.
Then came a mysterious event One
morning the bell disappeared and FOL
all these years Its location was un
known, except perhaps to those VIII
had sscreted II.
The tones OF the bell. now noat owe
the same waters and lands-lands an'
