HOSPITALITY HAS ITS REWARD
One night, a few weeks ago, the Natives at Motuiti found a swagger putting up for the night at the Motuiti Railway Station. The night was very cold and the man half starved and they asked him to put in the night with them, which he gladly did. The following morning they asked him to stay on with them for a while and have a spell, and once more he gladly accepted their hospitality. As time went on he was sent- into Foxton with money to purchase provisions for the pah. This he did, and a second time he was sent in on a bicycle with £2 on a similar mission, but on this occasion he failed to return. - The police were communicated with, and Constable Owen issued a warrant for (lie man’s arrest, and this week he was arrested in Wellington, where he comes up for sentence to-day. The bicycle was recovered at Paekakariki, where it had been sold.
