1t himself the next morning. Then he
called at the abode of Miss Damon
The ring was answered by q servant
who said the young lady was out doing
her Christmas shopping. Here was a
piece of good luck. Leaving the pack
age with explicit instructions as to it's
delivery Fadley said he would call,
Christmas night, as per previous ar
rangement with the young lady.
There was big job off his hands,
and Fadley mentally patted himself on
the back at having done it up so neatly.
He pictured to himself the glad sur
prise of Miss Damon when she should
receive the substantial evidence of his
regard, and chuckled over the little
surprise in store for his dear friend
and chum, Harvey Early Christmas
morning Miss Damon received her
package, upon opening which she ex-
claimed:
''Well, never! Just as if I were in
need of a shave. Who ever has been
so kind as to furnish me with this ton
serial outfit?" Then her eye caught
the corner of a card sticking out of one
OF the compartments of the case. This
she drew forth and read:
From yours faithfully,
II. IRA FADLEY''
"Oh!" said the mischievous young
lady; "Mr. Fadley, eh? Well, just
wait till he comes this evening. I'll
bawl Next at him; see if l DON'T
Of all the mortified SWANS that ever
got into pickle Fadley felt the worst
when the idol Of his heart flashed the
shaving tools on him. He was utterly
speechless, until it occurred to him
that his friend Harvey had his dear
ones toilet set and one of the sweetest
of little notes that ever lovesick fell
low put together.
Great snakes!' thought Fadley; eff
he reads that note I'll never hear the
last of it," Then he explained the
mistake and begged off long enough to
hasten over to his friends house to
exchange the packages. He found
young man jerlzed him into the hall he
simperingly inquired:
SIS my hat on straight, Ira dear, and
how do my bangs looll?"
'Say!" fercely calculated Fadley, eff
you don't shut your head I'll break it
for your
But there was no time to be lost, so
Fadley, after duly acknowledging that
the cigars were on him, gathered up
the toilet set and sped back with it to
the one for whom it was intended.
That was not the last of the joke on
him, by any means. The thing leaked
out, as such things invariably do, and
poor Fadley was SO annoyed by face
tious illusions to his Santa Claus ex-
perience that he was compelled to
threaten with consequences dire any.

for her carriage to come for her.
The Orphanage stood upon the out
skirts of the town, and it was long
walk from there to her beautiful home;
and yet she had fingered after the
Christmas tree and the distribution OF
the gifts, while the other patronesses
had hurried away to their home
preparations for their own children,
until now the wintry daylight was be-
ginning to grow dim.
Mrs. Catherwood shivered and
wrapped her furs more closely around
her, as she thought Of the warmth and
light she had left behind her, with the
music of happy childish voices.
Mrs. Catherwood was young and
beautiful and widow. She had been
an old mans darling, and in return for
her faithful affection and compan-
ionship, her dying husband had en-
riched her with all his wealth.
III the second year of her widowhood
she had been persuaded to reenter So
eciety, and now for two seasons she had
reigned a queen. She was considered
a woman to be envied, and yet to-
come home to her with overwhelming
force, and she felt herself more desc
late than even those little waits whose
happiness in their Christmas festival
she had just been witnessing.
There was great void in her life,
and she felt the need of some emo
bling purpose, and of a strong sus-
tanning arm to lead her on to better
things than the frivolities which
seemed to hem her in on every side.
If anyone had been at hand to tell
her that her life was not at all friv-
olous, as her numerous charities could
testify, her perfect lips would have
CURED in scorn and she would have
made the honest answer: "My chart
ties are fashionable fads; perhaps they
may be the means of helping others,
but they do not help me-
Airs. Catherwood had left the high
road now for the quiet footpath across
the level stretch of open meadow
which lay between the orphanage and
the town. 1t was a favorite walk of
hers, beautiful in spring or early au
tumn, and place where her heart
seemed to throb in unison with ma
ture; but it was cold and dreary
enough to-day. The western sky
CLEANED coldly upon her, and the
shadows had already begun to gather
over the town. The biting wind came
sweeping across the meadow in vio-
lent gusts, and now and again she was
obliged to stop and wait until it's mo-
mentary fury had been spent
But in spite of the cold and the
.dreariness, Mrs. Catherwood seemed
in no hurry to reach her home. In
truth there was question upon her
mind which she must decide clearly
for herself before she could give her
answer to another, and for that rea-
son she had chosen to take this soli-
tary walk
In all probability that ''other" was
even now awaiting her in her own
drawing room with all a lovers i'm
patience.
Harold Whitney had been as Mrs.
Catherwood's shadow for many
months, and his attention had pleased
and fiattered her until she found that
she could no longer keep him at arms
length.
The decisive question had been upon
her lips the night before, when the en-
trance of another visitor had given
her this short and welcome respite
Put as he tenderly pressed her hand
at parting, he had murmurcd: ITO
morrow at dusk ! will come for my an
Gwey. for my priceless Christmas gift.

AND Mr.. SMITH ESCAPED.
AUSTRALIA SEARCHED, BUT HE
COULD NOT BE FOUND.
supposed To BE Interested in The
Gilsey Opium Hidden by
Friends.

The opium affair of last Monday
night took new term this morn
ing. The police were aware of the
fact that Ed. Gilsey, the man
under arrest, has no money to
speak of. 1t was therefore laid out
that some person on the Australia
owned the opium found at Gilseys
place.
A little careful detective work
proved that Quartermaster Smith
of the Australia was the man the
police wanted. He was a much
hunted individual this morning.
AT an early hour today the con-
sent of Captain Houdlette to bring
Smith from the vessel was secured
by the officers. Captain Scott and
squad went down to arrest him.
Then the policemen, eight in num-
Der, dressed themselves as steve
dores and went aboard. The YES
sci was searched from stem to stern,
but no Smith could be found.
At IL o'clock the search was
abandoned. There was little doubt
in the minds of the officers, how
ever, but that Smith was aboard.
He is well liked aboard ship and it
is thought the men hid him. Doubt
less several of them were in the
opium racket with him anyhow. 1t
is fairly certain that Quartermaster
Smith will never show himself in
these parts again.

From four to five thousand tons are
now on hand. At 6 O'Clock Mon
day morning the machinery of the
great enterprise will be set in
motion. The works have railway
connection with the O. r. & l..

Island men and in detail is the fruit
of DR.. Averdams foresight and in
genuity. This gentleman is an
expert chemist of Hamburg. The
plan Of the new works may be
called his own; practically, he was
the architect. The Doctor has all

Farewell Reception to This Lady at NJ. p.
Robinson's House.
The spacious parlors of Mr.. M.
P. Robinson's Nuuanu valley man
sion were crowded last night. The
occasion was a reception to Mrs.
M. M. Thirds who left today for
the Coast. The mission and work
of this gifted woman are well
known. In her honor there were
assembled many of the intellectual
people of the city. Mrs. Thirds
had attracted, during her lectures,
ladies and gentlemen who think
and study. She instructed these.
She led them away from beaten
paths and tried to teach them that
manhood should mean brother
hood.
Mrs. T. R. Foster and other
ladies assisted Mr.. Robinson with
his guests. The latter enjoyed
the genteel hospitality of their
host anda6nal lessons from Mrs.
Thirds. The evening was spent
in conversation and listening to an
orchestra stationed at one corner OF
the broad lanai. The company
numbered about one hundred. A
luncheon was served during the
evening
At 10 o'clock, when the guests
were making ready to depart, the
members of the Theosophical Soci
ETY. gathered in the library. Mrs.
Thirds was summoned. In few
words, most gracefully spoken, Mir
Robinson President of the Society,
made presentation to Mrs. Thirds
The gifts were beautiful album o.
Island views and a draft for neat
sum. Mrs. Thirds was deeply
touched by this new evidence o.
friendship and although completely
surprised responded pleasingly
There are strong ties between Mrs
Thirds and her Honolulu pupils.
At the Australia large number
of friends were present to bid Mrs
| Thirds farewell.

NEW BUSINESS BLOCK.
SIX STORES AT THE CORNER OF
FORT AND BERETANIN.
Bruce Warnings Enterprise-No Delay
Material Purchased-Beretanis
Streets Future.

Bruce Waring proposes to erect
business block at the corner of
Fort and Beretania streets. He has
purchased the lumber from Wilder
& Company and awarded the con-
tract to Mr.. Wickander, a local
builder. Work is to begin at once.
There will be six stores, facing
Beretania street and covering
an area of 4oxI43 feet. The corner
store will be an especially fine one.
Mr.. Waring is satisfied that the
investment will be success. 1t is
he who with Chas. S. Desky lately
purchased the Dixon property, now
occupied by DR.. Brodie, from Col.
w. F. Allen.
Far sighted men have for some
time been figuring that Beretania
is to become business street. 1t is
inevitable that the retail establish
ments will be forced from the
water front by the wholesale houses
with their quiet places and heavy
storage facilities. This is the ex-
perience, the rule, in every sea port
and river place in the world. San
Francisco, Seattle, Portland, San
Diego, are striking examples in
point. The same thing is notice
able along the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers. In the
railway cites in the states stores
get up town away from the depot
and the wholesale places. 1t will
be the same in Honolulu. Beretania
street seems especially inviting for
Business locations. 1t was re-
marked by a merchant this morn
ing that this thoroughfare, being a
population center, simply demanded
retail establishments.
The next development in this
line will probably be the announce
ment that the Dixon property is to
have business block.
