relic of army days would come to light
He drew out a couple of tiny sheets,
giided on three edges, Jagged line
on the fourth showing where they
had been hastily torn from a binding.
Across these was scrawled message:
Twill marry you Tonight, II you want me,
John. Your empty sleeve is more to me than
ali the epaulets In the world"
There was no date or signature, but
he knew Hetty Plympton's hand. What
did it mean? When had she written
it? How did it come there? He re-
mained standing, stupefied, bewildered,
while the rest moved on. Suddenly
the explanation flashed upon him. He
remembered the scene at the railroad
station on the day of his return from
the south; how she had turned aside to
write in the little book; her light
touch on his breast when she had stood
before him.
1t was well for Hetty Plympton that
the place where she had sat down to
rest was n by-path, away from the line
of march. John Sexton would not
have hesitated or delayed his errand if
there had been thousand people
about her. She rose at the sound Of
his quick tread. He held out the little
scraps of paper to her.
"Hetty, have but just found this.
1 never saw it before. My darling,
what must you have thoughtp'
Can love and joy find resurrection,
full and perfect, after they have been
entombed for quarter of century?
Aye, if clean hands have laid them
away, and purity and faith kept guard
over them. Swift came the awaken
ing, gathering force and strength from
all the years through which they had
slumbered. Miss Hetty's face bios
somed into something so like its girlish
beauty that she was as one transfg-
ured to John Sexton, whose eyes lost
their tired, strained look and recovered
their youthful fire, while his figure
Strengthened, and he seemed in mo-
ment to renew his lost estate of youth
and courage.
Yet they accepted their happiness
reverently, as becomes those who re-
ceive a precious gift, long withheld.
With a low exclamation, like the cry
of some hurt creature, long suffering,
that has at last reached covert, Hetty
laid her head upon his breast, and he
folded his arm about her
Sweetheart" he said, gently, "youI

crows feet that had begun to show at
the corners of her eyes three years
before were perceptibly deepening.
Thus he deliberately remarked the
ravages of time on her pretty face, as
he had invariably done on the rare oc-
casions when he encountered her, for
more than a score of years. Did she
note the small bald spot on his head,
or the slight limp where the rheuma-
tism had laid hold of him, he Won
.dered?
John Sexton could not'have told why
he made this cold-blooded examination
of the vanishing charms of her who had
once been his ideal of all womanly
worth and loveliness. 1t may have
been unconscious revenge for the man
ner in which she treated him. 1t may
have been to prove to himself that his
heart was hardened against her. 1t
may have been the innate savagery
that turks in all men.
Marching along the weary road to
the cemetery he recalled the rest. In
those days of his weakness and despair,
others, men and women, had sought
him and endeavored to cheer himS She
had never come. When he met her at
the houses of mutual friends she had
treated him with rigor that had
taught him only too well the changed
relation that he, cripple, occupied
toward her. Other problems confront
ed him. He had found himself a use
less, helpless man, depending upon a
brother, and barely tolerated in the
house by his brothers wife. He could
perform no active labor, was incapac-
itated for trade, and had not the
means to fit himself for learned pro
| fession. He drifted about from one
light vocation to another, filing each
indifferently, more and more oppressed
with sense of his uselessnesj-he, a
young, ambitious man, filled with
energy and industry that he could
find no means to apply. He taught
himself to write with his left hand, and
to write rapidly and well, and the gov
ernment for which he had sacrificed sc
much at length took pity on him and
gave him place in the land office oI
the district. Withdrawn from society
with few friends and no intimates, he
led the life of a recluse. Miss Mehit
able, on the other hand, kept pace
with the world and all good works

became apparent that we were in dam
ger of being cut to pieces, and retreat
was inevitable. The retreat was disas-
trous. We lost two thousand men in
getting out, and we realized that
Grants position was practically i'm
pregnable. Thus ended, l may say,
one of our alternative plans for better
ing our position. AS respects the others,
it was the opinion of Mr.. Davis that we,
could get as good terms, when the
worst came to worst, or, in other words,
after we had exhausted ourselves to
the uttermost. Therefore, as you
know, we finally proceeded with
further experiment in the way of re-
treat, with the consequences of which
the world is familiar, and with oil the
details of which nobody can ever be
familiar. Wheeling Intelligencer.

Con. Grants SIinpnrs.

During the war many fairs and ba-
Ears were held to raise money for The
sick and wounded soldiers. At ono
time, in Washington, ID. c., in the clos
ing years of the war, smoking cap
and slippers We're offered, and votes
sold, to have them sent to the most
popular general. When the votes were
counted, it was found that Gen. Grant
had won them, and young school
girl was selected to send them on to
him. This young girl, whose name
was Jeannette Robertson, duly made
them into package and forwarded
them to Grants headquarters, with n
little note telling of how they came to
be his, and adding that he must never
wear them till he had taken Richmond. !
After some time a letter of ackuowl-
edgment came back to her, thanking
her, and promising to do as she want,
ed about the time to wear them. 1t
was not long before Grant did take
Richmond, but it was many years
after, Mt reception given to him
when he was president. that lady, a.
married woman, came up and told him
she was the former little girl who had,
sent him the slippers. The distin-
guished man was very glad to see her,
and told her that, though the slippers
were then worn to shreds, they had
not been put on till he earned the
right to wear them by the capture of

Plenty Smoke, No Fire.

Two Cinnamon very much ex-
cited ran up against a BULLETIN re-
porter last night and shouted some-
thing that might have been fire!
murder! or pakapio! but which
was learned to be "Please, kind
gentleman, we are under the i'm
preston that a fire exists in the
premises occupied by one of our
numerous cousins known as Sam
Yee Hop, who deals in luscious
fruit on King street near Fort.
You, who have had experience,
kindly notify the chief of the fire
department that his presence is
needed in order that we may have
his advice as to the means we shall
adopt to save what we believe to
be a burning building" That is
what it meant in long hand, but
before the notes could be written
out, smoke was seen issuing from
the chimney and telephone alarm
sent into the fire department. In
less than three minutes the engines
were on hand and before steam
could be got up hose was attached
to one of the street hydrants and
sufficient force of water obtained,
without the services of the engines,
to send stream over the building.
The chemical engine, however, was
all that was required as there was
nothing but smoke caused by the
chimney having for a time been
clogged up so that it could not es-
cape until by great pressure the
obstruction was removed and the
smoke burst out, all in heap.
The only damage done was
through the bursting of hose at
tached to the chemical engine. The
fluid used in the apparatus scat
tered over some curious spectators
to the injury of their clothing.
Sam Yee Hop is grateful to the
department and his friends for
their prompt action and congratu-
lates himself upon the fact that he
did not lose even a peanut.

ABOUT DOGS.
What Il Bulletin Reporter Saw
at Daylight.

The ubiquitous reporter of the
EVENING BULLETIN was around this
morning as usual and along about
6 o'clock met w. NJ. Cunningham
with four dogs trailing behind him.
These CANNES were going out for
their usual morning bath and they
got it in the presence of the said
BULLETIN reporter, probably for the
first time in their lives.
The four dogs were worth some
where about $500, and it is seldom
one can see such an aggregation of
canine wealth in four animals.
Although the animals are not,
strictly speaking, water dogs their
performances this morning would
equal the best of any spaniels.
They will fetch and carry, dive,
swim anywhere on order, and do
anything they are told to by their
owners order. In fact, these ami
mails possess almost human intelli-
gence and if anyone does not be-
lieve it let them accompany them
on their morning excursions.
The best of them is Ranoer a
pointer, who takes the water like a
fish. His owner values him at
5000. Then comes Queen, an Irish
setter, valued at 800; Belle, a
pointer, of equal value, all of
whom have a lawful and recognised
pedigree.
Last but not least by any means
in the quarto is Daisy" Gordon
Setter. 1t is sufficient to say that
while Daisy has no pedigree she
does what the other aristocratic
dogs do.

TIMES ROT.

The Time is an English issue OF
some merit which appears weekly in
Honolulu. The publishers and
writers endeavor to accomplish the
difficult task of carrying water on
both shoulders and being friends to
all factions, sects and parties.
Heretofore this has been done in
a rather ingenious manner, but in
the issue Sf Saturday the Time
branches out in the following rot
which has now been used SO often
by mediocre writers as to become
stagnant, stale and sinking.
Time has unbounded faith in the
future commercial prosperity of the
Republic, but it does not think such
prosperity will be advanced by en-
coursging the publishers of journals
whose sole aims seem to be the
qualification of private malice at the
expense of the public veal. 1t be-
lieves that the time has come for
energetic and decisive action with a
view toward developing to the fullest
extent the natural resources, and
that existing social, business or poll
tical differences should not be allow
ed to longer retard our gr owth.
The Time should cease telling us
that "the time has come for emerge
tic aud decisive action" 1t should
devote it's time to show when and
how such action can be made
and it should fill its columns with
advice and propositions tending to
build up the country instead of deal
ing in generalities and Hayne. Gel
off your perch, Mr.. Time, and tell
us how to make fortune quick anc
easy.

THEY PRO TEST

The Board of Underwriters got
move on this morning aud held a
meeting at the Chamber of Com
merce, when they emphatically pro
tested against the proposed bill
allowing Low Grade Kerosene Oil
to be introduced and sold in Ha-
waii. The resolution was presented
to the Senate this morning and. will
be considered with the bill.
This action of the Underwriters is
extremely proper, but we fail to see
why no steps have been taken by
1.-The Board until this eleventh hour.
II The INDEPENDENT had not taken
up the matter in its usual vigorous
manner, the prospects are that the
obnoxious bill would have been
railroaded through.the Legislature,
and passed, and no attention paid to
the evils resulting from it until
three or four fire alarms night, or
few acres OF houses or lumber
yards burning, would have opened
the eyes of the community.

get done in the Republic. The
Senate, after killing tho evil measure,
resurrected it at the request OF the
ministry, and after tinkering it a
little, passed it. The House Of Re
preeentatives had originally passed
the bill, but when it was received
back from the Senate, it received a
cold reception aud was killed. 1t
now goes to joint conference com
mittee where it will be met by the
resolution Of the Underwriters, and
where it will finally meet its death.

HOnOCuCU, JatCy w, 1910.
1t cannot be denied that the
war cloud which hangs over the
world at present is getting darker
and darker. 1t is a historical
fact that the end of each CEN
tury has always been fraught
with bloodshed and strife, in
ternally as well as externally.
The great powers of Europe to-
day are making and unmaking
alliances of all kinds. The fact
is that diplomacy to-day is using
every means to postpone the day
when the crash must come and
gain time for the different coun-
tries to prepare themselves for
the gigantic struggle which will
and must take place before the
present generation dates its let
ters in the year 1900. Turkey
is threatened from all sides. The
Russian bear is extending his
claws and licking his blood
thirsty tongue towards the East
and South in anticipation of
gain. The passive and cold
brother nations who inhabit the
Scandinavian peninsula are
now glaring ferociously ready to
spring at each others throats.
Germany, under its impetuous,
indiscreet imperial master, is
drifting into the deceptive mael-
strom of CONQUEST, and war, in
which all past experience, all
knowledge gained through the
horrors of war are forgotten, and
where only false sentiment and
sham patriotism are ruling.
And while the giants get
ready for the great war their
leaders have realized one thing,
and that is, that no army will
have show, no militia chance,
except provided with the indis-
pensable bicycle. And no Won
der that the monarchial coun-
tries of Europe prefer the "Mon-
arch" to any other kind, and
supply their wheeling cavalry"
with that favorite brand.
We have watched proceedings
in the great countries with a
great deal Of care, and we have
secured the sole agency for Ha-
waii of the Monarch Cycle. We
have realized that, not alone a
large stock is necessary, but that
a workshop, in which all needed
repairs can be done is in the in
terest of our patrons, and we have
established one above our stores
on Fort street. This "bicycle
infrmary" will attend to any
sickness" which the wheel
may meet through accident or
lack of care. Our prices are far
below veterinary figures. We
fix the Monarchs sold by us at
cost price if ever they should
need it. We have everything
on hand and have secured the
services of a most experienced
bicycle man, whose work we
guarantee.
AS the bicycle is not only Of
advantage in war but love, we
wish to call the attention of the
young boys and girls who have
to spend their vacations in Ho-
nolulu, that we have wheels just
suitable for them, If daddy
can't send them to the country
for trip-or buy them a bow
wow-let them ask him for a
Monarch. 1t will give more
pleasure and last much longer
than even Il volcano trip.
