minister he has arisen from tbe
ranks. To -'day he is pastor of the
most influential church the Scot-

preaching will never do for St.

At the end of the sixth year Ram

debt of a few rupeea tha.t his grand-
father had contracted when he took

stirred up a strange desire in the
coolie's beart - it awakened his
ambition, and he 'vowed then and
there that he would be rich soma
day and a planter idmeelf.
To that esul, during the remaining
two years of his indenture Ram Sal
saved every penny that be earned,
and bis children, by their labor in
the fields, helped to increase the

It was something less than $500,
but it was more money than, Ram
Sal had over owned before, and,
what was more important, it was
sufficient for the execution of his
present purpose, the establishment
of himself as a silversmith in the
Ilindoo quarter of Port-of-Spain.
Ram Sal had worked at the tietcle

Then the whole story, which the
Scotelutran verified later on, came
out. The: hero of it is still em-
ployed on an interior plantation in
J Damien.
Mother story of the love of 4

countless romances that the coolies .
have brought witb. them to their
new world homes. Moran was the
daughter of Ohunclar 1,al, iraluebs

In the satire town Ram Singh lived,
and Ram was engaged to nurrry

enough to inn.ke the weddbig festivi-
ties. To that end lie went to work
for an Englishman in a distaire
town. Two years latex he returned
to his own village with tire money
only to And that Chuudar Lal and
his daughter had followed a coolie
contractor across the "black wa-
ter."
Ram Singh was in despair. To
his question as to Where Moran bad

Ram Singh vowed -that great as
was the task beforehim he would
find Moran. and marry her. There
was but one way to do that. She
had become a coolie; he mast become

BOUND FOR EIGHT YEARS.
In the Interim Ram had not for-
gotten how the fields were made- to
yielelstheir increase. As a planter
he so directed thelabors of the hun-
dred or more coolies indentured to
him that his plantation soon be-
came noted as one of the most pro-
ductive in the valley.
Ram Sal was now fairly started
on his road to fortune, and each
succeeding step that he took
brought him nearer it. Year by
year he added to Ids possessions,
soznetimes a plantatiola often real
estate in Port-of-Spain, where he
set himself up in a mansion.
Thus Ram Sal prospered until two
years ago, when old in years, he
died; and when his heirs came to
reckon up the estate, they found it
to be worth nearly a million dol-
larits. is true that Ram Sal's efforts
at money getting were exceptional,
but it is also true that among the
coolies in Trinidad and jaanniea are

not followed the contractors west-

.slaving away in the plateau coun-
try of their native lead in hopeless
effort to clear off the inherited debts
hanging over their heads-.
That is why MT. Chamberlaan, who
k-nows theee things, spoke
of Ids King's West In-
dian possessions as the coo-
lie's paradise. But the other man -
called them the field of romance, be-

So Ram Singh'indentured liiinself
for a term of six years as a coolie
on a Fiji plantation.
Arrived there he set about hunting
for Iboran when he was not requir-
ed to be in tbe fields. But his
seaech was in vain -

straightaway Ram Singh bound him'

Natal planter.
Again it was six years wanted, six
years of working and waiting. But
on the day that his contract was
ended, Ram Singh signed away hie'
liberty for a third term of six yearl
and was taken in a coolie ship te
Trinidad.
Here he got•hid first ray of hope.
One day as he was about his seareh,
he ran across a man who had been

an's father, and he told Ram Singh
that Iboran, mourning for her lor.
er whom she never expected to see
again, hEed gone with her fathel
from India to Jamaica.
That was enough to cause thd
years necessary to his release to
pass swiftly, for Ram Singh, , and
then, with the money that he had
saved, he took passage to Jamaica
and began his search with renewed
heart. ,
It was In an interior village that
Moran was, found, still unmarried,'
still true to the mein.ozy of her lov-1
