I was thrilled to my innermost soul.
At this point one of the ladies In the
party which surrounded the boy laughed
softly, and the men began to look a little
uneasy. At tho sound of the laugh Georgia
seemed to awake as If from trance. His
flashing blue eyes resumed their natural
expression and blush came on his cheeks.

Mrs. Carnegie's seat, and whom she reach

After much coaxing he was induced. to
explain that he had run away from his

on the ocean, get picked up by some big
steamer and then go to Europe.
When the yacht reached New York, Mr..
Bennett was autographed for and came to
claim his son. He told Mrs. Carnegie
how he and his wife had sent the boy,
their only child, down to his aunt's, who
lives near ROTOR point, to get q week or SO

and mother died, and ran away from my
uncle and went on board a big black ship
that had a mean, gruf1 captain on her.
After we were out few days the captain
beat me with big stick and had me
looked up in a dark room for nearly q
week. When he lot me out, we were some
place on the gold coast Of Africa. Big
black fellows, with funny beads Of gold
around their necks and elephant tusks
through their ears, ran around without
any clothing on, yelling. The captain put
me ashore and said, Go, now, you young
devil, and be eaten alive Then he put
me in o small boat with only gun and
knife with curved, sharp blade.

yelling at me. turned toward the shore
and saw a thousand black grinning devils
preparing to jump in the water and come
out to me. Turning once more toward
tho retreating ship, hurled mighty
curse at tho brute of captain, who stood
ON the bridge chuokling at my predica-
ment. Then, resolutely facing the savages,
who were by this time swimming out to-
ward me, I saw that their number was too
great for me to fight single handed, so
picked up my oars and pulled with long,
steady stroke down the coast. At first

LANGLEY DISMISSED.
The Captain Of Police Accused Of
Accepting q Bride.

Captain Langley and Sam Stone
were ordered TO hand in their COM
missions on Saturday. The cause
of their dismissal Is alleged to be a
a bride taken from a Chinaman a
week ago yesterday. They will
both appear before the Attorney
General and the Marshal this
morning, to explain their part of
the transaction.
The story that the police Off
Gals tell, is that Langley and Stone
accepted $40 from some Chinese
gamblers whom they had caught
playing cards. When Langley re-
turned to the police station, he was
asked to give some change for So,
which he did. The money was
marked, and this is the cause of
Langley's trouble.
The former captains story ISIS ub-
stantially the same as that of the
police department with the excep-
ton that he knew that the whole
thing was a put up job, and he was
only waiting to be spoken to about
the matter before he gave the
money up.

Mr.. Painton and Professor Busse
have had an interview with the

having eighteen propellers ranged
along its sides. The inventor
claims that a big ship built after
his model could cross the ocean
from New York to Liverpool in
three days. He has asked the Gov
eminent to take hold of his in
vention for use In the construction

tary Herbert has referred the mat
ter to Messrs. Hichborn and Tay-

STREET RUuORS.

There have been rumors on the
street for the past few days that
somebody had succeeded in so
screwing up the courage OF the
royalist contingent, especially on
the Island of Maui, that there was
fear that within the next halt
month an uprising against the Re-
public would occur. The friends
of the Republic need have no fear
of anything desperate being done
within the limit of time speci-
fed.
The residents Of Honolulu and
vicinity have long since become ac-
customed to the Royalists doing
something at a future date and from
past experience can rest assured
that the time set by rumor for the
outbreak will not materialize.
The temper of the citizens re-
serve guard is not of cowardly
quality and probably the best test
that Royalist leaders could make
thereof would be to unexpectedly
fulfill one of the daily windy rumors
uttered anywhere from the confines
of Washington Place to the secret
precincts of the half dozen leaders
of proposed-or rather alleged pro-
posed-rebellion against the Re-
public as established today by the
manly courage of the taxpayers of
Hawaii.
There is no fear of an outbreak
and the good residents of this city
should rest assured with the as
surance, which has been SO often
emphasized, that the anti
American enemies of Hawaii
do not care to risk the results of an
outbreak, even during the absence
of an American war ship from port.
The men the Royalists fear to meet
more than all others are the mem
beers of the reserve guard, and there
is little fear of an unexpected meet
ing taking place, as far as the
foreign leaders of restoration are
concerned. On the part of the de-
tenders of the Republic there is al
expressed determination that should
the political lea iers of Royalisn
attempt restoration in any form il
will be met with a political anc
physical force that will be as un
erring as concerted in its action.
