AS for. Harry Wethermill, he made
no reply. His burning eyes were fix
ed upon Hanaui's face, and that was
all. Hanaud, for his part, asked for
no reply from him. Indeed, he did
not look towards Harry Wethermill's
face at all. Ricardo understood.
Hanaud did not mean to be deferred
by the suffering written there.
Like q Man With q Chill.
He went down again into the little
gay salon lit with flowers and August
sunlight, and stood beside the couch
gazing at it with troubled eyes, And,
shivered. He shivered like a man
who has taken q sudden chill. Noth-
ing in all this mornings investiga-
tons. NOT even the rigid body beneath
the sheet, nor the strange discovery
of the jewels, had 81 impressed Ric-
ardo. For there he had been con-
tfronted with facts, definite and COM
Ipiete; here was q suggestion of un-
known horrors, a hint. not<a fact,
compelling the Imagination to dark
conjecture. Hanaud shivered.
That he had no idea why Hanaud
shiveredH made the action still more
significant, still more alarming. And
it was not Ricardo alone who was

Harry wethermill's,5 and his face wa
ashy white.
"Monsieur!" he cried, II do not
know what makes you shudder; but
am remembering a few words you
used this morning. Xxx.
Hanaud turned upon his heel. His
face was drawn n grey and his eyes
blazed.
my friend, 4 also am remember
ing those words" he said. Thus the
two men stood confronting one an
other, y to eye. with awe and fear
in both their faces.
Ricardo was wondering to what
words they both referred, when the
sound of wheels broke in upon the
silence. The effect upon Hanaud was
magical. He thrust his hands in his
lpockets.

lightly. He drew out his cigarette
case and lighted a cigarette.
Let us see that poor woman safe.

It was a closed landau. It drove
past the open door OF the salon t.
the front door Of the house. In Han.

hall. The nurse came down alone
carrying Helene Vauquier,s bag. She
placed It in the cab and waited II

Perhaps Helene vauquier ha.

towards the stairs.
Hanaud took a ~singularly swift ster

face; and as he spoke a door closed

STATE BANKING.

Because Of the experiment Of the state of North
Dakota in entering the banking business employees
LOT educational institutions are waiting for their sal
aries, or are discounting their salary checks. town
ships and school districts are out of funds, and the
financial affairs Of public bodies all over the state
are at SKIES and sevens.
Not long ago The Herald drew = comparison
between the situation in North Dakota and that III

The Philippine government organized its own
bank, doubtless with the most laudable purposes.
Public funds were deposited in that bank, and

to his companion his face was white
and sickly. He replaced the. sheet
and gazed about the rtoom.
It vas decorated and furnished in
the same style as the salon down
stairs, yet sthe contrast between the
two rooms was remarkable.
Downstairs, in the salon, only a
chair had been overturned. Here
there was every Sign of violence and
disorder. An empty safe stood open
in one corner; the rugs upon the pol
ished floor had been tossed aside;
every drawer had been torn open,
every wardrobe burst; the very bed
had been. moved from It's position.
1T was in this safe that Madame
Dauvray hid her Jewels each night

and gazed about the room.

"oh, was 1t s ?" Hanaud asked
slowly. It seemed to Ricardo that he
read something in the aspect Of this
room too, which troubled his mind
and increased his perplexity.

Makawao No. 6

The greatest day in the lives of the
MakawaO Scouts was enjoyed on Fri
day and Saturday, February 18th and
18th. Eighteen scouts met at the
school house on Friday at $3.50 p. m.
They piled into the autos Of the Com
missioner, Mr.. f. B. Cameron and Mr..
J.. VI. Eddy who took the boys to the
kahului beach house where they ar
rived at AIS p. m. Baggage was IN
loaded and carried to the beach house.
After an enjoyable swim ii the surf
the scouts cooked their supper, at the
same time practicing making fire with
two matches or less. At 7:15 they
were treated to a theater party by the
commissioner 1t the Kahului picture
house.
Sunday morning a great many of
the boys succeeded in making fire
with two matches or less, cooking
potatoes and meat without cooking
utensils.
As soon as these scouts have passed
their tenderioot tests they will be
credited with their fire and coking
tests.
The day was passed in going
through life saving work, knots, swim
ming etc. At 8 p. m, the autos called
for the scouts and they were taken
back to Makawao. All voted it a Won
derful camp.
And right here l want to say that
the MakawaO scouts are without a
doubt the finest and best behaved
bunch on Maui.

Troop Scribes-All scribes are re-
quested to send in the notes of their
troops SO that they can be published
in the scout columns of the Maui
News. If your troop does not appear
in these columns blame it on the
scribe.
Scout Knives-A few scout knives

and now is the time to get busy on
your subscription list for the Maui
News, there are only a few and they
will so to the scouts for subscriptions
to this paper only. Get In before they
are all gone.
Thrift-Are you getting busy with
your bank account. Now is the time to
begin to earn some money so that you
can pass the Thrift test.
Remember the money must be earn
ed and placed in the bank before you
can be qualified on this test.
kahului No. 8
Tuesday night the Kahului scouts
met at the beach house for their regu-
lar meeting. After giving the scout
oath and law and working on knots
the troop adjourned to the beach and
tried fire making and cooking. 1t was
some stunt. With the light of the
moon and a gasoline lantern and
search lights the scouts scurried
around and hunted for fire wood and
meat sticks. Many were the kukus
encountered, this with reddended
eyes and brunt fingers made the test
I very enjoyable. The 1remaking and
meat test was passed by practically
all present, but the potatoes, well none
Of them were eaten, and that is suffi-
cient to explain that this part OF the
test was a failure. However the
scouts will tackle it again in the near
future and success is ure to follow.
Troop Numbers
1t will be noticed that the number
ing system Of troops has been changed
1t was almost impossible to keep
track Of the troops by numbering them
in the old way, and from now on all
troops will be numbered as they or

At present the numbers will be az

METROPOLITAN-"A Mans
Home"

A six-piece jazz orchestra, roll
licking comedy picture, a pleasing
rendition of the Tampa overture by
the Metropolitan symphony and a
Ralph Ince feature production, "a
Mans Home" provide the program
this week at Crandalps Metropolitan.
The 1nce picture is melodramatic,
but proceeds through series of stir
ring episodes to an unusual climax
without a Earring note. 1t concerns
the home life of millionaire. who
has made his "checkbook his Bible"
placing business before his wife and
daughter.
The wife, left to her own devices,
becomes the prey of a pair of black
mailers. one of whom had in earlier
years made a victim of the million
aires prospective son-in-law. Warned
! of his wifes indiscretions, the mil
,, lionaire manages to outwit the crooks
and create for himself and family a
real home.
Harry T. Morey as the millionaire
and kathlyn Williams in the role of
the neglected wife contribute much
| to the story by clever approximations.
Grace Valentine and Roland Bottom
| ley are exceptionally good as the
crooks. Faire Binney as the daugh-
ter and Mott Moore. in the role of
the sutton, are also quite capable.

PALACE-"E nchantment."

1t is really refreshing to see such a
photoplay as "Enchantment," which
is presented this week at the Palace
Theater. 1t is SO clean and whole
some. There is no morbid suggestion,
nothing Of the forbidden.
1t is the story of a domestic prob
lem. handled in the light and breezy
way similar problems were handled
by Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Drew. 1t re-
cords the attempt to control head
strong. heartless and self-suficient
girl of eighteen, who regards her
mother as old-fashioned and behind
the times. Her father gets an idea
from Tanning OF the Shrew" and ar
ranges a little plot for the curbing OF
his daughter
Its development calls for consider
able histrionic ability on the part of
members of a very capable cast. There
is an appealing naturalness about the
scenes. The people act like human
beings in daily life. There is an alb
sence of melodramatic posturing. The
words used and the action portrayed
are such as one would expect in the
circles depicted, and through the play
Marion Davies moves. always beauti-
full and ever a picture.
Motion picture views Of current
events, Mutt and JEFF in a barber
shop and appropriate musical selec-
tions by the orchestra complete the
program.

story that does not depart at any stage
from the possibilities of realism, and
Eugene O'Brien. in the role Of the
youthful hero, accentuates its appeal in
this respect. The play has decidedly
an "Old Homestead flavor and a well
balanced cast contributes better than
