The British government appointéd emigration agents at Caleutita to superintend and regulate the expor- tation, under certain well-defined and carefully eonsidered regulations, of all laborers who, desired to cross the sca int search of work at wages not obtainable in India. Besides Trinidad, these coolies were sent to British Guiana and Ja- madica. Upon arrival they bound, or indentured themselves to work for a specified number of years on plan- tations to which they were assigned by the colonial government. Great care was exercised in making these allotments, not to separate families or friends. Planters who desired the services of these laborers were obliged to execute a contract with the local government, agreeing to provide food, clothing, suitable lodging and thir- teen cents a day for six working days of sevén and one-half hours each in every week. he period of indentured service after which the laborer could either voluntarily re-indenture himself or réceive free passage home to India with his family, or if he desired and his services during the indentured period were satisfactory, he was the Trinidad government. The indentured period ceased in 1908, as there was then a sufficiency of labor, While many families re- turned to India, a great number had such pleasant memories of their stay in Trinidad that not only did many voluntarily return during the immi- gration periods, but they also brought tire villages. Under constant gévérnment supeér- vision they have been treated fairly and well. Of late years, instead of the 13 cents a day they have been paid from 72 cents to $1.20 a day, according to the type of agricultural work performed. Some have their own extensive agricultural holdings, and many vil- lages arg composed entirely of typi- cal East Indian houses, with beauti- ful temples dedicated to their various: religions. Gradually many of the descendants of the immigrants have become Anglicized. They eagerly sought the excellent education advantages offer- ed by the Trinidad government. At present many East Indians are ex- cellent lawyers, one in fact is an ém- inent king's eounsel. Others hold seats in the local legis- lature, and many important. positions in the Trinidad civil service. Some of the leading merchants are East Indians. WISHING Of all amusements of the mind, From logic down to fishing, There isn't one that you can find So very chéap as "wishing." A very choice diversion, too, It we but rightly use it, And not, as we are apt to do, Pervert it and abuse it. I wish a common wish, indeed-- My purse wére somewhat fatter, That I. might cheer the child of need And not my pride to flatter. I wish--that sympathy and love, And every human passion That has its. origin above, World come and keep in fash- on. TIME TO GATHER FLOWERS It is best to gather the roses and other scented flowers to be used for pot-pourri early in the morning and to choose & fine, hot day for gathering them. Pull the petals from the roses and pick the other flowers fro mthe stalks. Put them in a shallow tray and stand the tray in the sun till the petals are quite dry. Then to every pound ot dried flowers add an ounce of cin- namon, finely ground, an ounce of powdered cloves; two ounces of powdered orris root and half an ounce of musk. Stir well together. then place in a jar with close tit ting lid, .

By day the lowness of the land Had brought the skyling closer than shé Had éver imagined. She had thought of herself as the only living being in the whole world.

It had been only 8 bird. 3 As Palmyra had been caught unawares by the approach of night, so now, with the eastern - skies aglow witp the coming day, she was again unawares, lying deep in slumber. , The sun, at his setting, had paused to implant upon her cheek a gréén husk of ong sud éxposéd t lowér end of the shell. From ie with thrée taps of the blade, he knotkéd a round cap. Hé took a big draft of the liquid within--cool, slightly acid; clear as water.

This fish, flopping vigorously, he pound to the crossbar of his dwarfed foot- ball goal. The girl had been watching these moves breathlessly, wonder for the moment getting the better of fear. Not untfl he fetched the fish did she have any theory. Then it flashed into her mind that barba- rous péoples always propitidted their deities with food offerings. Could this be a sort of altar?

Then she roused at the realization that, if she could mot murder a sleeping man, she could at least disarm him. With Olive deprived of that knife, and her own retained, who could tell? She might have some shred of chance. She put the blade Into her dress and began again to crawl forward. She had got within a dozen feet of the savage, moving with caution, when unexpectedly, easily, almost as it seemed automativally, he opened his eyes and sat up. It was as if he had not heen asleep at all} had, from the beginning, be an walt~ ing for her to do just this thing. The girl shrank back. Olive fixe . ed her with his strange eyes.

She sprang up, Mi TeMstande she could have fought like a tiger, But thug to creep upon a sleeping man? . . . Bi od Burke's several times repeated, which had assumed the significance of a threat, "Better volunteer that kiss while the volunteering's easy," he had warned, hig grim good humor in the last hour or two, as she felt, growing a little thin. "For I can tell y'this: There won't be no evading the draft--once she clamps down." What had he meant? 'When Palmyra came on deck on this, the fourth day of her captivi- ty, she saw that Ponape Burke was in an ugly mood. The man greeted her with alco- holic leer, his infamtile features shocking in their age-old deprav- ity. When she shrank back into the companion he was amused. "Come, come, Queenie," he roared. 'Are y'ready with that kiss?" He bel- lowed wity laughter. Then, when she did not advance, he changed to the quick anger of intoxication. "Have it yer way, Miss Tree-- Miss Palm Tree," he said thickly. "But 'twon't be long before you're down on yer shins a-praying the Lord for just one chance t'beg me t'take the dam' kiss--and you sick with fear I won't want it." Ponape rolled aft te the girl. "Sweetheart," he said, "I'm going t'part with you." She dig not understand. "Dam' them Japs!" he exploded, his temper taking a new direction. "Twas their man-o-war we sighted last midwateh." . So that had béen the cause of the alert watch, with its brief but réal excitement, The man's suggestion of parting with per, the possibility of Japa- nese intervention, had brought the color of hope to her cheeks. But he, returning now, struck at that nope with malicious per- ception, "Oh, safe enough in three or four days," he reassured. "They- 'Il be gone then for a good six months, It's only in the meantime we got t'lay low. But in the mean- timé--ruin everything you t'be caught aboard." ' She tried to fathom his purpose. "I'm going f'jettison you. Y'- shall stop ashore." She stared at him. Ineredulous hope reused again, only to fall be- fore his expression. He had not the slightest thought of relinguishe ing her. Burke was amused. "Tis a hon- naught t'de but sit and think o' me." The girl's spirits rose, She did not question that this wauld be same depot of his, a place of gervile nqtives, But, aven so, her pasition "11d be bettered, Surely, among n all, must bg those te under. id, te respond to her plea for protection, She was eager to go.

"Y'just set in the shade and munch yer biscuit and think o' me." "And then, sometime, maybe you'll sight the old Pigeon loafing by. And if you're tired o'yer own company, y'can hist yer hanky for a signal. And perhaps I'll be such a good kind gent as t'lay y'apoard again, me understanding what you're after is t'rush up and give me that kiss." She clenched her teeth behind the closed lips. ' He turned as if to go. Thén, cas- ually in a well-considered effect, he called Olive to fetch that of which the girl had not thought in days,-- a pink silk parasol, With a flourish Ponape Burke presented .this gay trifle which, alone of all the world that shé had known, had escaped the deluge. "Por my queen," he said with mock ceremony. "Fresh complected folks has a tender skin. If queenie should show up offering a kiss all blistered like a biled lobster--why, maybe that kiss wouldn't so much be wanted. And, remember: 'tis a kiss! free given and free taken, pays a passage from this reef." He sprang upon the stooping back of his fellow to be carried to the boat. He rode high, his legs, on either side of the brown torse, doubled, and supplrted by Olive's hand, under each shin, as a stirrup. When the boat had cleared the reef, Ponape Burke rose to wave her a jaunty adieu. When they were half way to the schooner, the girl uttered a sob and, flinging down the parasol, ran after them until she stood in the surf. Then, slowly, she turned and came back te the palms and threw herself upon the sand--prone. And, oddly enough, as she lay, it was not the white man's cruel hu. mor that revolted her so much as the brown man's mirth. For Burke had a purpose, but Olive"s was a mére savage delight in pain. She had said that in the whole world she alone was alive, Now, however, across the coral clinkers a something was coming, moving eccentrically, vet approaching at an alarming apedd. A something alive? It was gay with red polka-dots; it ran with the exaggeration of a toy, seeming ahout te stumble at each step, yet zig-zagging over the clinkerg in an astonishing ease and rapidity. : Unexpectedly, the girl! laughed.

A few more strokes of arms, thick and brown, and the, head of an islander rose dripping from the water, | And then it was that Palmyra ut- tered another ery. For she saw a copper face with great square teeth clamped on a knife--a knife that did not hide the ferocious grin} which had haunted her since she first saw it thus under her spot- light; the face of the brown man Olive! ! When the face of the Olive materialized to her view, the voice of the surt drowned that wail with which Palmyra Tree cowered back behind her screen. ! The swimmer, rising from. the brine, paused knee-deep to shake himself like a dog. Then he pluck- ed the knife from between his tedth, thrust it into the leather sheath on his belt and came splash- ing ashore, He did not hesitate, but made direct for her hiding place, the only cover. The girl sprang away in flight. The prown man, beaming territic- ally, followed. She ran, stumbling now and again on the coral clink ers, until she reached land's end, and then on, as far as she could, along the rdef a-wash. Seizing from the water a broken knob of coral, she faced the savage. When he reached the adge of the sand, she hurled it at him. Then her hand rose toward her-dress where her own knife waited. Olive, at the missile, grinned none the less. Indeed, he seemed unaware of it, though it passed within a foot of his head, But it did, nevertheless, have an effect --aone quite unexpected. Far he sat down, cross-legged, on the sand. He broke into the animation of speech. We stood up, and the girl's hand flew back toward her weapon, But he came no nearer. To her sure prise, he turned and went strutting away toward the clump of palms. Then he beckoned her to follow.
