In ths homo town. The old gentle
man, a vetornn of the Civil wnr,
endeavors to Imprest tho young
ster with the significance of the
great conflict, and many years aft
erward tho boy was to remember
his words with startling- vividness.
In tho schoolroom, a few years
afterward, Ramsey Is not distin
guished for rotnarkablo ability,
though lils pronounced dislikes are
arithmetic, "Recitations' and Ger
man. In sharp contrast to Rom
soy'n backwardness. 1 the precocity
of little Dora Tocura, a young- lady
whom In his bltternosa he denoml
nates "Teacher's, Pet" In high
school, where ho and Dora are
classmates, Ramsey continues to
feel that the girl delights to mani
fest her superiority, and the vln
dlctlveness he generates becomes
alarming, culminating In the reso
lution that some day he will
"show" her. At a class plcnlo Ram

CHAPTER VI. Continued.

Mllla hung weightily upon Ills arm,
and they dawdled, drifting from one
sldo of the pavement to the other as
they slowly ndvnnccd. Albert and Sa
die, ahead of them, called "good night"
from a corner, before turning down the
side street where Sadlo lived; and
then, presently. Ramsey and Mllla
were at the lattcr's goto. Be went In
with her, hnltlug at the front steps.
"Well, g'nlght, Mllln," he said.
"Want to go out walking tomorrow
night? Albert and Sadlo are."
"I can't tomorrow 'night," she told
him with obvious regret. "Isn't It the
worst luck! I got an aunt comln' to
visit from Chicago, and she's crazy
about playing 'Five Hundred, and
mama and papa said I haf to Btny In
to make four to play It. She's liable
to be here three or four days, and I
guess I got to be arouud home pretty
much nil the time she's here. It's tho
worst luck J"
He was doleful, but ventured to be
literary. "Well, what can't be helped
must be endured. I'll come around
when die's gone."
He moved as If to depart, but she
still rot allied his nrm and did not pre
pare to relinquish It.
"Well" he said.
"Well what, Hnniseyr
"Well g'nlght."
She glanced up at the dark front
of the house. "I guess tho family's
gone to bed," she said nbsently.
"I s'pobe so."
"Well, good night, Ramsey." She
mild this, hut Mill did not release his
urm, and suddenly, In a llustcr, he felt
that the time he dreaded had copic.
Somehow, without kuowlng where, ex
cept thnt It was somewhere upon what
seemed to be u blurred faco too full
of obstructing features, he kissed her.
She turned' Instuntly away In the
darkness, her hands over her cheeks;
and In a panic ltumscy wondered If he
hadn't make a drcudt'ul mistake.
"S'cuse me I" he said, stumbling to
ward the gate. "Well, I guess I got
to be gettlu' along back home."
Ho woke In the morning to a grent
sclMoathlr.g; he had kissed a girl.
Mingled with the loathing was a curi
ous pride In the very fact that caused
the loathing, but the pride did not last
long. Ho came downstairs morbid to
breakfast, and continued this mood
afterward. At noon Albert Paxton
brought him a note which Mllla had
sked Sadie to ask Albert to give him.
"Dcarlo: I am Just wondering If
you thought as much about something
bo sweet that happened last night as
I did you know what. I think it was
the sweetest thing. I send you ono
with this note and I hope you will
think It Is a sweet one. 1 would give
you a real one If you were here now
and I hope you would think It was
sweeter still than the one I put In this
note. It Is the sweetest thing now you
are mine and I am yours forever klddo.
If you come around about frlday evo
It will be all right, aunt Jess will be
gone back home by then so como early
and we will get Sade und Alb to go to
the band Concert. Don't forgot what
I said about my putting something
sweet in thU note, and I hope you will
think it is a sweet one but not as
sweet as the real sweet one I would
like to
At this point Ramsey impulsively
tore tho note Into small pieces. He
turned cold as his imagination pro
jected a sketch of his mother In the
act of reading this missive, and of
her expression, as she read the sen
tence: "It Is the sweetest thing now
you are mine and I am yours forever

In Ink. He wished, too, that sho hadn't
said she wns his forever.
Suddenly he was seized with a hor
ror of her.
Moisture broftb out heavily upon
him; he t'clt a definite sickness, and,
wishing for death, went forth upon the
streets to walk and walk. Ho cared
not whither, so that his feet took him
In nny direction away from Mllla,
since they were unable to tako him
away from himself of whom he had
as great a horror. Her loving faco wus
continually bofore him, and Its sweet
ness made his flesh creep. Mllla had
been too sweet.
When ho met or passed people, It
seemed to him that perhaps they were
ablo to recognize upon him somewhere
tho marks of his low quality.
"Softy I Ole sloppy fooll" he mut
tered, addrcslng himself. "Slushy
ole mush I . . . Spooncrl" And
ho added, "Yours forover, klddo 1"
Convulsions seemed about to seize
him.
Turning a corner with his head
down, ho almost charged into Dora
Yocum. Sho was homeward bound
from a piano lesson, and carried a
rolled leather case of sheet music
something he couldn't imagine Mllla
carrying and In her young girl's
dress, which attempted to be nothing
else, sho looked as wholesomo as cold
spring water. Ramsey had always felt
that she despised him and now, all at
once, ho thought that she was Justified.
Leper that ho had become, he wns un
worthy to bo even touching his cap to
her I And as she nodded and went
briskly on, he would have given any
thing to turn nud wnlk a little wuy
with her, i'or it seemed to him thnt this
might fumlgntc his morals. Hut he

considered himself
unfit to be seen
walking with her.
Ho had a long afternoon of an
guishes, those becoming most violent
when ho tried to face the problem of
his future course toward Mllla. He
did not face It at all, In fact, but mere
ly writhed, und hnd evolved nothing
when Friday evening wns upon him
and Mlllu waiting for him to take -her
to tho "band concert" with "Alb and
Sade." Ho made shift to seek a short
Interview with Albert, Just before din
nor. "I got a pretty rotten headache, and
my stomach's upset, too," ho said,
drooping upon the Pnxtons' fence. "I
been gettln' worse every minute. You
and Sadie go by Mllla's, Albert, and
tell her If I'm not there by ha'-pus'-seven,
tell hor not to wait for me any
longer."
"How do you mean 'wait'?" Albert
Inquired. "You don't expect her to
come pokln' nlong with Sadie und me,
do you? She'll keep on slttln' there at
homo Just tho same, because sho
wouldn't have anything else to do, If
you dou't come like she expects you to.
She lmsn't got nny way to stop wult
in' 1"
At this, Ramsey moaned, without af
fectation. "I don't expect I can, Al
bert," he said. "I'd llko to If I could,
but the way It looks now, you toll her
I wouldn't bo much suprlsed maybe I
was startln' In with typhoid fever or
pretty near anything at all." He
moved away, concluding feebly: "I
guess I better crawl on home, Albort,
whllo I'm still anlo to walk some. You
tell her the way It looks now I'm liable
to be right sick."
And the noxt morning he woke to
the chnQngs of remorse, picturing a
Mllla somewhat restored In charm
waiting hopefully at Uio gate, even
after tho half-past seven, and then, us
time passed and tho sound of the die

tune 'to wring Mm with aname and pity,
but wns followed by another which
clcctrllled him, for out of school lie

Albert had reported his Illness too
vividly to Milln? Mllln was so fond I
Whnt If, in her nlarm, she should como
here to the house to inquire of his
mother about him? What It' she told
Mrs. Mllhollnnd they were "engaged"?
The next moment Ramsey was project
ing a conversation between his mother
and Mllln In which the latter stated
that she and Ramsey were soon to bo
married, that she regarded him as al
ready virtually her husband, and de
manded to nurse him.
In a panic he fled from the house be
fore breakfast, going out by way of a
side door, and he crossed back yards
and climbed back fences to reach Al
bert Paxton the more swiftly. This
creature, n Indies' man almost profes
sionally, was found exercising with an
electric Iron und a pair of flannel trou
sers In a busement laundry, by way of
stirring his uppetlte for the morning
meal.
"See here, Albert," his friend said
breathlessly. "I got a favor. I want
you to go over to Mllla's "
"I'm goln' to finish pressln' these
trousers," Albert Interrupted. "Then
I've got my breakfast to eat."
"Well, you could do this first," said
Ramsey, hurriedly. "It wouldn't hurt
you to do me this little favor first.
You just slip over and see Mllla for
me, If she's up yet, and if she Isn't,
you better wait around till sho Is, be
cause I want you to tell her I'm a
whole lot better this mornng. Tell
her I'm pretty near practlck'ly all right
again, Albort, and I'll prob'ly write her
a note or something right soon or In
a week or bo, anyhow. You tell her "
"Well, you net pretty funny 1" Albert
exclaimed, fumbling In the pockets of
ids coat. "Why can't you go on over
und tell her yourself? But just as It
happens there wouldn't be any use
your goln' over there, or me, cither."
"Why not?"
"Mllla ain't thore," said Albert, still
searching the pockets of his coat.
"When we went by her house last night
to tell her about your headache and
stomach and all, wliy, her mother told
us Mllla'd gone up to Chicago yester
day uftcrnoon with her aunt, and snld
she left a note for you, and she said If
you were sick I better take It and
give it to you. I was goln' to bring It
over to your house after breakfast."
He found It. "Hcrel"
Ramsey thanked him feebly, and de
parted In a state of pnrtlal stupefac
tion, brought on by a glimpse of tho
Instabilities of life. He had also, not
relief, but a sense of vacnncy and loss ;
for Mllln, out of his reach, once more
became mysteriously lovely.
Pausing In an alley, he read her
note.
"Denrle: Thought I ought to call
you up but over the 'phono Is just nix
for explanations us Mnma and Aunt
Jess would hear everything nnd
thought I might seem cold to you not
saying anything sweet on account of
them listening and you would wonder
why I wns so cold when telling you
good-by for n wile maybe weeks. It Is

As u mensurc of domestic prudence,
Ramsey tore the note Into Irreparable
fragments, but ho did this slowly,
and without experiencing nny of the
revulsion' created by Mllla's former
missive.
ire was melancholy, aggrieved that
she should treat hlra so.
"Yes, sir: that quiet lhtn

woman by this time, Ramsey."

One of the most Important of tho
"slices of China" taken by outside na
tions, but one which there has been no
mention of restoring, Is the Island
wlilch tho world knows ns Formosa,
but which the Jnpnnese, slnco they
gained possession of it through the
Chino-Jupaucse wnr, have mimed Tai
wan. "Ililn Formosa" Penutiful Isle the
early Portuguese voyagers called It;
and never wns n more appropriate
name given to un Isle of the sea.
If you enre to confirm this In ono of
several pleasant ways, sail along the
west const of Formosa In n tel: pal', or
bamboo raft, on n cfenr day, and
you will witness n pngeant of moun
tain scenery thnt will haunt tho mem
ory for ninny n day.
Beyond tho fertile plain, with Its
emerald paddy-fields nnd Its pictur
esque Httlo villages dotted here and
there on the bnnks of meandering
fitrenms, foothills with unending varia
tions of contour silhouette their tree
fringed summits ngalnst the paler
screen of more distant mountains. Of
those, sometimes five nnd sometimes
even six parallel ranges nre visible nt
once, each n sepnrnto ribbon of color,
shading from the deepest sapphire to
the palest azure and extending In nn
unbroken chuln of beauty from north
to south.
On tho east of the Island you can
seo the highest coastal cliffs known, nt
some places rising abruptly to an cle
vntlon of nhnut 0,000 feet, und afford
ing an Impregnable wnll of defense to
the wild nhoriglnal tribes living In the
mountains back of them.
All Kinds of Vegetation.
Formnsnn scenery Is unusual In its
diversity of vegetation within such
narrow confines the greatest length
of the Island from north to south Is
about 201 miles and 80 miles Is its
greatest width.
From the palms and tropical fruit
trefcs of tho western plain It Is only n
short step to the slopes of the lower
mountains, with their exuberant
Jungles of various growths the beard
ed banyans, tho graceful tree ferns,
which In sheltered nooks attain tho
height of palms, and the ubiquitous
bamboo grass.
Here, among moss-strung trees, Is
found growing tho beautiful butterfly
orchid, while In exposed spaces, nes
tling among the rocks, rose-pink azaleas
Haunt their gny blooms. A little high
er nre plateaus covered with camphor
laurel, the largest tracts of these valu
nlilo trees In the world, while still
higher grow tho forests of coniferous
trees the giant honlhl, similar to the
redwoods of California, tho largest
trees In the Kast and tho second
largest In the world; tho vnluable
hlnokl or Japanese cypress, nnd the
plrio cedar and spruce of tho New
Knglnnd states; and higher yet the
craggy peaks of the tallest mountains,
but sparsely covered with vegetation
of nny sort, where eagles build their
nests, nnd which for tho greater part
of the year lie beneath a mantle of
snow.
Tho usunl approach to the Island Is
the port of Kelung, In the extreme
north. Almost nny time ono arrives
In Kelung the rnln will bo found corn
ing down In sheets, obscuring the hill
crested harbor.
Board a train for Talhoku, tho capi
tal city, which on most mnps still
bears Its old Chinese name of Talpch,
and In nbout ten minutes you will pass
through a long tunnel, under a moun
tain rldgo on the other side of which
you will in nil probability tlnd tho
landscape Hooded with sunshine. Rain
seems ns out of plnco In this now
world ns stars In the broad daylight.
Here and there the train pnsses the
low, mud, thatched dwelling of some
Chinese homesteader with n pool of
water by way pt front yard, wltere
huge slate-colored buffaloes take their
noonday siesta.
Talhoku U a Fine City.
Tho distance of 20 miles to Talhoku.
Is covered In a, little more than an
hour, and there tho traveler Is suro to
bo amazed nt tho westernized appear
unco of tho city tho broad streets, tho
beautiful parks, and tho Imposing pub
lic buildings. Only tho gateways of
the old wnll, which surrounded tho
ancient Chinese city remain, looking
us out of place in their rejuvenated
setting ns the Egyptian obelisk in Cen

section of Talhoku, is unnaturally

Tho Japanese Insist upon two ofH
clal house cleanings a year, and ns
they nro executed under a policeman's
vigilant eye, there Is nothing slipshod
In tho undertaking. All a man's chat
tels, his lures nnd penntes, his wives
nnd children, even to his chc'rlshcd
opium pipe, nro heaped unceremoni
ously In front of tils dwelling, nnd tho
work of scouring begins.
During the summer months Dnltotel
presents its busiest face, for It Is then
that the tea season Is In full swing.
Tho eolonnndes of the tea hongs, If
such nn Imposing architectural term
as colonnades can be fittingly nppllcd
to such unlmposlng structures, are
ahum with the staccato accents of
chattering tea pickers. These nro
generally young girls, ns old hands
are too numb for the deft manipula
tion of the tea leaves.
Seated on low ctools before wide
wicker troys, these bright-eyed mnlds,
in their peacock-blue smocks, their
front hnlr clipped In bangs, and with
a gay posy or two stuck In the braid
ed knots at the backs of their necks,
aro In nnlniatcd contrast to their
rather drab surroundings.
Everywhere one sees coolies pack
ing the gnyly flowered lead-lined
boxes thnt carry their sensitive freight
of tea to America. About 00 per cent
of Formosa Oolong goes to the United
States.
The population of Formosa Is main
ly agricultural. Tho cultivation of
rice, und more especially sugar cane,
Is encouraged by the government, and
these are grown In great quantities.
Monopoly In Camphor.
However, the most Interesting Indus
try Is the production of camphor, and
It can truly be said to be peculiar to
tho Island, when It Is remembered that
Formosa holds n practical monopoly In
tho world's nuirkut of this valuable
drug.
Shortly nftcr the Japanese came tc
Formosa, 2Z years ago, the canipho"
Industry became u government nionor
oly. Before that time there had born
a great deal of ruthless waste, both In
the cutting down of trees and lu ex
tracting camphor from them.
At lirht the Japanese, too, v ore
careless In this respect, for the supply
of camphor trees seemed piactlcally
limitless, but the great Increase In the
demand for the product In late y?nrs
lias made scientific afforestation mces
Miry. Now Inre tracts of land aro
given over to the cultivation of the
camphor laurel. Tho oldest of these
cultlvuted trees are now somo tventy
years of nge.
In point of view of value, few trees
can rival the camphor. An average
tree, say with a busal circumference
of 12 feet, will yield about 50 plculs
of camphor (approximately O.GCO
pounds), which, ut the present mnrket
price, is worth several thousands of
dollars.
Native stills aro scattered here and
there throughout the districts where
crude camphor Is collected, packed In
tins and carried down precipitous
mountain paths on coolies' backs to
the nearest railway line, whence It
goes to the refinery nt Talhoku.
Ever since wo have nny authentic
record, Formosa has been peopled with
wild tribes of probably Malayan nnd
Polynesian origin. They ure nearest
In point of rcseniblnnco to the Dynks
of Borneo and, although their origin
has never bilen proved beyond a doubt,
they nre sufficiently llko certain of tho
South Sea tribes to Justify us In as
cribing to them n common ancestry.
They aro found on tho Island today
In all stages of development. Tho
"raw" savages, as the Chines Urm
them, live much as their ancestors did
centuries ngo, whllo the "ripe" sav
ages, living on tho bordcrlnnd between
their wild kin und Chinese settlers,
hnvo more or less assimilated Chines
ways of life. Tho snvago population
of Formosa Is estimated at nbout 1U0,
000. At present Formosa enjoys greater
freedom from savage attacks than
over before lu her history. This is duo
to tho fuct that the Japaneso hnvo In
stalled n llve-wlro barrier from Karen
ko, nbout midway on tho cast coast, to
Plnnn, In tho south, a distance of
about a hundred miles, to servo ns a
protection against savogo raids.
Tho future of Formosa under Its
present benevolent pnternal govern
ment looks bright Indeed. Never be
fore has this Island, so beautiful to
the eye, enjoyed such a degree of pros
peril y.
