Late in the afternoon, about dark,

and he was just shouldering it up,
ready to carry it out to his horse when
Tim came up and smiling, said:
"Old man, let me carry ont your
turn, an put it on your hoss. It's too
heavy for you. | don't want ter see
ye kill yerself up, even if | am goin'
ter marry yer gal an inherit yer prop

'You go to the d-!' viciously

as he slowly strained the bag to his
shoulder.
"Wait iist minite, ole man, -
spoke Tim, laughing, "my turn will
be ready in minite. l am going
your road, and Pm shore you'll want
good company Besides it's an awful
lonesome road. But the old man
was riding away and he didn't hear

Darkness was now filling the road
and shutting out the view of all
things. suddenly an owl brawled out
almost Immediately in front at an an

horse, being spirited animal, leaped
far to one side, and then, oh horrors,
the old fellow felt the horse sinking
rapidly into the ground.

tempted to free himself from the ami

hole. With these words he made a
desperate scramble to get away from
the horse, but the frightened animal
sunk now to his body in the slough,
gave fioundering surge, fell to its
side, catching the old fellows leg, and
rolling the bag of meal off on top of
him. Both horse and man were now
securely fast, unable to move.
The old fellow was almost delirious
with fright. There he was helplesslv
fast in the slough. And to add further
to his terrors, it was turning colder
every minute. Of course, in such
place, it was only a question of few
hours when he must perish. And such

AN UNDERHANDED GAME.

One incident i'm the administration Ha-
waiian policy which excited considerable
surprise without elicting any explanation
was the relieving OF Admiral Skerrett by
Admiral Irwin. Admiral Skerrett is a ca
pable and patriotic officer, had been in
so far as known had done nothing to for
felt the confidence of the government He
was relieved by peremptory order. Ad-
miral Irwin arrived at Honolulu on the 9th
inst. on the same steamer that carried
Minister Willis, and Admiral Skerrett took
the same steamer on her return trip to
San Francisco. When he arrived there the
following anecdote was related as possibly
affording a clew to the reason for his re-
call:
Although Admiral Skerrett had never ex-
pressed an opinion on the situation, or
given any indication as TO which side he
SympathiZed with, he highly esteemed
by the officers OF the provisional government.
They look upon his removal at this time
as an indication that the United States
has come to a decision adverse to annexa-
ton. One reason for this feeling may be
encounter which the bluff old admiral is
when that officer first arrived in Honolulu.
When Clevelands commissioner had set
tied himself in Snow cottage at the Ha-
waiian Hotel where the Admiral was stop
ping. he called on the commander of the
United States forces and introduced him
self. The Admiral said he was glad to meet
a man so well known as Mr.. Rlount, but
said he could not recognize Mr.. Blount
as the representative of the United States
until he had produced his credentials
My credentials are at my cottage" re-
piled Mr.. BlOunt.
Then you had better go and get them
the Admiral is reported to have said. II
cannot recognize you until you have pro-
duced your credentials
Mr.. Blount recognized the justice of this
position, but he was very angry, just the
same. On this account the annexationsts
think he reported to the President that Ad-
mral Skerrett was not the proper man to
have in Honolulu in case he should decide
TO put the Queen back on the throne.
1t now appears that this exchange of ad-
mirals was in keeping with the administra-
tion's policy OF restoring the monarchy.
Admiral Skerrett was known to be on
friendly terms with the members of the
provisional government, and it was feared
he would not be found ready tool in car
rying out the reactionary policy of the ad-
ministration. There will be no such diff
cuity III the case VI MS succesSor. Auiiirdi
