hasty cry rings momentarily through the
corridors and quickly dies away. What
is It!
Lydia has passed out into the gardens
where she and Dana Fairfax walk leisurely
up and down between the autumn flowers,
golden bright, and she listens to the
wonderful tale of the search for Haydee's
hidden treasure and that last dreadful fight
on the sands OF Morocco. And, while she
listens, more and more she sees the re-
semblance between the two brothers-only
that Dana is darker and more quiet, almost
shy in manner; for he has not that eager,
nervous look of his brother, that look that
suggests restless, almost unhappy spirit
and more and more she grows to like his
gentle, low-toned voice. and mild, yet in
te]hgent eye. And deeper and deeper in love
with his beautiful companion falls the
hitherto unimpressionable Dana.
Just as they near the conservatory door.
it opens and down the steps come Nat
allie and Arthur and on the Princess finger
shines the signet-ring of Haydee and around
her neck CLEANS the necklace of pearls and
the soft light of love is in her eyes.
Thus they stroll up the long, broad walk,
those happy four, two by two, arm in arm,
and, where yonder noble oak spreads its
gnarled and leafy branches, they slowly
turn and so pass out of sight
THE END.

spair.ng Of firing their adversary, one Of
the men stepped backward and, STOPPING
quickly down, picked up pistol, which he
was Just about to fire at Oxford, when Neb-
bitt, with a most awful, blood-curding yell
that pierced far into the night and must
have greatly terrified those who remained
on the Vampa, bounded forward with ire
mendous leap and brought down the rifle
butt squarely upon top of the mans head
with such resistless impetus that it crashed
through bone and brain and literally split
open his skull from top to bottom, driving
the vertebrie of his neck down into his body,
SO that, completely collapsed, he was
crushed to the earth as if by the mighty
hammer of pile-driver, while Nebbitt felt
the rapid bullet from his discharging pistol
burn his own cheek like q hot iron.
Although he could have done so more than
once, Arthur Fairfax refrained from trans
fixing either Of his two men, as he would,
then, lose his sword and thus be weaponless
against the other. However, nerveG to des-
peration by that frightful yell of Nebbitt,
he made a hasty lunge forward and passed
the blade completely through the larger fell
low; then, quick as flash, struck outward
with his left foot, suddenly tripping up the
other, who fell sprawling to the ground.
Before the man could spring to his feet,
Fairfax whipped out his revolver and shot
him through the head
The remaining four Italians, finding them
selves now outnumbered, turned and fed
towards their boats. Just es Fairfax was
crying out: "Let them go! Don't follow
themw one of the desperadoes unexpected
~ turned and fired his pistol. With a sharp
cry, Dana dropped to the ground.
The eye OF Fairfax flashed fire and he
dashed forward after the fleeing man, draw
ing his revolver. All at once he Skipped,
muttering to himself:
"Why should II 1t is not in selt-defcase.
Dana may not be dead.'
AS it was, his brother was only stunned.
But poor Roger had received a deep stkS
from which it took him many long day t.
recover. Fairfax himself escaped without
80 much as a scar. Nebbitt and Oxford die
covered about their body several little
slashes and abrasures of the skin-suspi-
ciously like knife-cuts and bullet-grazes-
showing narrow escapes from death.

BABY ELEPHANTS.
ComicaI Sights Witnessed by an Observ-
ing Traveller in India.

Comical Sights Witnessed by an Observ-
ing Traveller in India.
How the young elephants in the large
herds escape from being crushed is some
thing of mystery, as they are almost con-
tlnually in motion; but when a herd is
alarmed, the young almost Immediately dis
appear. A close observer would see that
each baby was trotting along directly be-
meath its mother, sometimes between her
fore legs.
On the march, when little elephant is
born in herd, they stop day or two to al
low it time to exercise its little limbs and
gain strength, and then they press on, the
mothers and babies In front, the old tuskers
following in the rear, but ready to rush for
ward at the first alarm. When rocky or
billy places are reached, the little ones are
helped up by the mothers, who push them
from behind and in various ways: but when
q river has to be forded or swum comical
sight ensues.
The stream may be very rapid and rough,
as the Indian rivers often are after rain,
and at such place the babies would hardly
be able to keep up with the rest; so the
mothers and fathers help them. At first
all plunge boldly in-both young and old
and when the old elephants reach deep
water, where they have to swim, the young
scramble upon their backs and sit astride,
sometimes two being seen in this position.
But the very young elephants often require
a little more care and attention, so they are
held either upon the tusks Of the father or
grasped in the trunk of the mother, and
held over or just at the surface of the
water. Such a sight is a curious one, TO
say the least-the great elephants almost
hidden beneath the water, here and there
young one seemingly walking on the water,
resting upon a submerged back, or held
aloft while the dark waters roar below

the chin of the Italian, he suddenly and
sharply jerked the mans head upward and
backward. Taken at unawares, Matteo to
save his neck from being broken, relaxed
his grip for moment.
Quick as a flash of lightning his an
tagonist, who was beneath, rolled the giant
over, leaped to his feet, and, grasping the
knife lying close by, plunged it into the
heart of Haydees murderer, who was
struggling to his feet, but so awful was the
force of the blow that the blade drove clear
through the mans lungs and passed out be-
tween his shoulders, and, without so much as
groan, Matteo fell back, 5 one dead!
All this happened in far less time than it
takes to read about it, but not a moment too
quickly. For when Nebbitt, breathless and
aching from the crushing grip of his foe,
out quite game" yet, was enabled to turn
his attention to the others, he saw Oxford
engaged in deadly contest with three men
whom he was holding at bay with his rife,
which he grasped by the muzzle as he would
a club, and was whirling about him with
such lightning-lille rapidity that it looked
like the flying spolzes of a swiftly-rcvolyino

other welding keen sword in his unin-

with four of the Italians, while a huge
rufiian was decidedly worsting poor Roger,
who was bravely trying to defend himself.
Ere Neobitt could reach him, Roger
grosned deeply, and, suddenly relaxing his
hold on the other, fell backward as If dead.
The Italian raised his knife to strike the

picked up the Wallets rife, with which he

With that he made flying leap over the
little sand barricade which they had raised
and flung himself full and straight at
Matteo's throat, which he seized like a vice
in the grip of his steely fingers. The giant
stumbled backward and raised his sharp
knife to drive it up to the handle in the
back of the American; but the latter, by a
sudden, strong, upward movement of his
arm, cleverly turned the blow aside and it
fell harmlessly in air. Concentrating all his
nerve-born strength in one superhuman
effort, Nebbitt actually dashed this Goliath
to the ground, where the two rolled over and
over and over again in their awful struggles !;
now one above, now the other. But his enor-
nous physical strength and will threw the
odds fearfully on the side of Matteo; for
when he fell he had dropped his knife, and
was now gripping the American in his long,
powerful arms, whose muscles of iron slow

Panama Canal.

The latest statement of the affairs of
the Panama Canal Company is hardly
calculated to cheer the hearts of those
whose means are invested in that enter
prise. The amount expended on the
Canal during the fiscal year ending June
80, 1888, was nearly 500 100000, and
81, 100000 more will be needed to settle
all balances. OF these millions about
one-half was paid out for interest and
the cost for administration. Owing to
the partial failure of the recent attempt
to raise money by lottery, the Com
pany has only about 81, 600, 900 for use
on the Canal the coming year. Accord
made, this sum will not be sufficient to
pay even the interest and the cost of
administration, to say nothing of the
cost of construction. How failure can
be averted for another year is therefore a
question which waits to be answered
As an instance of recklessness and ex-
travagance which has characterized the
Canal management we append an ex-
tract from letter written to the Mont
real Gazette, by gentleman residing
at Panama: "The Company takes
credit for $30,000,000 worth of machin-
cry. An engineer informed me that
two-thirds of it is absolutely useless.
Trains of dumping cars are hidden in
the rank grasses. A whole siding of
locomotives has been lost to sight. In

vessels may be seen, steam tugs, steam
launches, barges, boats, etc, abandoned

HilO News Letter.

A man who came from Colombia,
working at Paukaa for some time, ship
ped and skipped for the other side of
this island. The manager, Mr.. Tucker,
at once engaged J. Vierra to go in search
of him as far as Kau, where it is thought
he would take the Hall for Honolulu.
Hilo is delighted to know she will
have wagon road to the Volcano !;
water works to bring spring water, so
long desired, for drinking pure and I'M
defiled, and an extension to the wharf
and is thankful, very, that we were 50
kindly provided for.
The Andersen murderer seems likely
to be found. A Chinaman was arrested
to-day whom it is thought knows much
about it. The sheriff has done nobly.
No give up is his motto.
The road supervisor and his men will
commence operations soon again, and get
the stone crusher and roller at work, and
we shall have roads that we shall. be
happy to show our friends and give
them ride over. The weather is just
perfection now and the time to do good
work. Thankful for what has been
done! Things look of a cheerful aspect
to Hiloites. j. A. NJ.

THE DAILY
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER II, 1888.

THE plans for the Oahu railway are
rapidly maturing The amount required
to build and equip the first twenty
miles of the road is not so great that it
cannot be easily raised here if people
have confidence in the enterprise. There
is every reason why there should be
confidence. Every foot of the road will
run through country which will produce
income. In return for this the road will
add value to all of the adjacent country.
The protector, Mr.. Dillingham;, and
others who are now with him, propose
to use their best endeavors to locate
settlers along the line. Perhaps the
prerequisite is water, and that can be
procured from artesian wells to advan-
tage over many sections of the route.
Nature is kind and indulgent here and
rewards effort with plentiful return.
The whole makai section of Moanalua
and Halawa has great possibilities,
and instead of simply carrying few
head of wild cattle could support an
active agricultural population of several
hundreds. The possibilities of that sec
ton have not been tested except with
rice. The construction of the road will
put an impetus into southeastern Oahu
never felt before.

The Royal Hawaiian Band.

This evening the band gives a concert
at Emma Square, and tomorrow even
ing at Thomas Square. Tomorrow
morning it will play at the departure of
the King for Hawaii on the steamer w.
G. Hall. When the U. S. S. Vandalia
departs the band will accompany that
vessel out of the harbor. A welcome
concert will be rendered to the officers
OF the U. S. S. Alert, on Thursday even
ing, at the Hawaiian Hotel. Either
Wednesday or Thursday morning con-
cert will be given on the Post Office We
randa for the benefit of business men.
From Friday, September 2lst, to Mon
day, October 18th, the band will take it's
annual vacation. Prof. Berger and his
skilled musicians well deserve their holt
days, and, when they return therefrom
invigorated, the public will better APP
preciate their music for the brief depriv-
alton.
