making might be no wiser. Patience, Poytash.
But Poytash groaned deeply, and wrung his
| hands as he turned away.
| Now, the Manuokawai had all her freight on
board, and her boat moored in little slip, inside
breakwater was waiting for her passengers
The master and Poytash had sprang from the
edge of gently ripping tide to the gunwale Of
/ the boat, and got on board. Kalili was carried
| on board by strong arms, and LOno and Papalua
| clasping hands, formed a cOmmOdous seat Tor
| LajOs, bore him gently to the boat, and placing
him carefully among blankets and pillows IN the
stern sheets, left him to recline his head against
the supporting arm of Kalili. And as the boat
was pulled over the calm surface of the bay loud
shouts came ringing over the water. . Aloha

bye, master good bye, Louis goodbye Kali ?.
And about this time there was another dspar-
ture;-of faithful hearted lover from the Golden
City.
Baratos and his old partner who greatly en-
loved each others society, received news of a
former comrade in Hungarian wars, and a pros
pector in California gold placers, who had reach
ed the great Austral colony years ago; who had
met with great success In mines and sheep runs,
and was now a rich man living at Melbourne
wishing TO see his old friends. And as there
offered an opportunity for direct communication
by steamship, the two friends resolved to visit
their old comrade, and also afford the young
lady, Zoe, an opportunity to make tour round
the world, on her way home to the Court of
Vienna, which was planned, as the brilliant
scene for some distinguished and noble conquest
of the beauteOus lady.
BaratOs did not take into consideration that
the steamer would touch at Honolulu but Zoe
did Since she had learned of the island abode of
Lajos, her heart had roamed across the broad
Pacific, and was in the Hawaiian Islands
vaguely hoping that she might meet him there
She had enjoyed the fretful Atlantic; but she
enjoyed far more the majestic rolling, placid
Pacific. The pensive girl, avoiding company on
board the steamer, sat up late, watching from a
quiet retreat on deck, the vast expanse stretch
ing out before her view. The buffeting blades
of the great propeller sounded, to her imagiua-
ton, like the beating wings of a mighty bird
bearing her through the upper air to an Olym-
plan abode, where her bliss enshrined. The
last kiss under the Linden tree forever fingered
on her lips, and tuned a melody of delight down
in the depths Of her heart. There was no kiss
but his. No voice of hope or love, but what
he had spoken, and would speak again. And
Zoe, the tender, faithful, courageous Zoe with
clasped hands, and fearful eyes, looked out up
on the moonlit sea, and in spirit swept onward
through the blue space, on the wings Of young
love; and lowering in her flight over the groves
of the famed tropical isles of the Pacific beheld
in her tender imagination her hero and her
king, moving about in sad exile; perhaps
serving some ungraciOus taskmaster; and she was
coming with mighty and generous love, with a
weghty purse of treasure secreted for his use {;
aad she would bless him, and lift him high and
yet be happy to seek the shelter of his protect
ing arm. And as Zoe thought and felt;-the in
tensity of her motion overcoming her, she clasp
cd her hands against her bosom. and exclaimed
looking up to the stars through her tears;-
- Lajos, Lljos | come, l come -
