lsos. This ia the story George Nagle
tells:
1--WE were at the islands year or two
ago-Harry Gillig,, Frank Unger, my
self and Pierrot. Pierrot was Harry's
bull pup, the Joy Of his owners life, the
pride Of his heart. He was fierce,
bloodthirsty looking brute, and when
ever true sport would pass him .ho
covetous regard which the man would
show for the dog would make the cold
chills of apprehension play leapfrog in
Gillig's spinal marrow. As matter Of
fact, though, Pierrot was as playful and
quite as harmless as kitten. He never
bit anything in his life except the sweet
breads, chateaubriands and such deli
.cacies with which his indulgent owner
pampered him.
"Well, at the islands David Kalakaua
was kng-aud kindlier man never
lived. He showed us marked attention;
arranged feasts In our behalf, made me
governor of an island for day, and lost
his money to us at poker. He spent
nearly as much time at our cottage as
he did at the palace, which was close at
hand. We grew to have genuine re-
gard. for him. because, whatever his
faults, he was every inch king In the
generosity of his impulses and the love
which he bore for his subjects.
"There was condition then prevail
ing at the islands somewhat similar to
that preceding the arrest of Wilcox, Ash
ford and the other conspirators. Dis
content muttered on the corners. An in
defnable strain was in the political at
mosphere. Without knowing why, the
onlooker felt that rebellion might set
the alarm bells ringing at any moment.
The wrecking of government might
have beer precipitated by the jostling
ot q man on the sidewalk.
.'The.. king was uneasy, though he
kept smiling face and his customary
afability. Feeling as we did toward
him. we shared In measure his anxiety,
and awaited the denouement with fe-
Iverish impatience.

power and importance as the kaiser'o
maxshaled millions. And 30 it was that
when fierce discomfort and whispered
denunciation were rife in the army the
peoples faces blanched and apprehen-
sion mingled In the merdest rout.
""At last 1t came. One night, as Gil
lg and ] sat on the porch Of our cottage,
we heard the roll Of the stirring drum
and the dangerous marching Of armed
men.
".The revolution has begunl The
army Is marching on the palacer
shouted Gillig.
"Being brave, aggressive man, Harry
grabbed q revolver and started on run
for the palace inclosure. Being more
Ior. Less Of fool, suppose, I ran after
him without any revolver. Being dog.
Nerrot ran; after Us both.
when We reached the palace we found
the entire army just drawing into line
In front of it. There was all the thun.
der Of the captains and the shouting
which mans heart could wish. The
army had come to make demand on
the king, and was prepared to enforce it
with bullet and bayonet.
"Now pretty much everything on that
trip had been arranged for Pierrots
amusement. So when he saw the glori-
ously caparisoned army drawn up in the
glare of the palace lamps he supposedit
was there as part Of his fun. With
bark and bound he started to enjoy the
army.
"Wowi
'.Whep Pierrot started for the army
the army saw him coming. With his
bow legs, wide jaw and red, overhang-
Ing jowl, he seemed a ravening beast.
His onslaught was quick and noisy.
"The army stood Its ground a moment,
and then began to beat retreat. The
retreat was In an instant rout. The
rout became scramble, with the dog
take the hindmost for every mans motto.
This was a1l the more fun for Pierrot
he gave expression to his joy in wild
yewls Of delight. Every few moments
3 gorgeous officer or slightly more sub
dued private would come leaping through
the trees In q yellow cloud of fear,
Pierrot plsyfully cutting his heels until
attracted by some other scattered rem
nant Of the leaguering host.
