liar to ''Corpus Christi day took

among the sand hills, thence to the
hospital, and then back again to the

Monsieur Ls Grippe is terribly
in evidence in Wailuku, district;
nearly every person met is suffering
from his visitstions or has had some
knowledge of him during the recent
past. Quite g number of the chill
dren of the Wailuku and Waihee
schools are sick, and there is some
talk of closing the Wsikapu institu-
ton on account of this troublesome
but not serious illness. The wife of
Judge a. n. kepoiksi is among its
victims.

gszed through at her. She bravely re-
strained sll impulse to cry out and
kept close watching.
The celestial, for she recognized
him by his dress as the family wash
man, fumbled about the bureau,
handling her jewelry and attempting
to open the bureau drawers. He
also made two visits into the sdioin-
ing room occupied by Miss Cornwell.
