mended that he and his wife be
removed to a house on the McCully
premises, PunahOu. This they
did. Liilii went to the house later
and said that the Great Powers of
Nowhere had refused to listen to
him regarding the cure of the sick
man, so he spread his coat and
turned from the door leaving the
household in Il perpleXed CON
ditiOn.
But the influences were at work
and Pahupu, an inmate of the
house, had a wonderful dream in
which were revealed mysterious
things. On the witness stand
Pahupu said she went to bed at
night and while lying upon a par
ticularly hard spot of her couch
she saw the spirit of a medium
sized man. In his eyes were that
far away look and that brilliant
lustre which betOken mystery.
Advancing to her spirit, the two
touched noses and began a pow

mans spirit. Il have seen the sick
ness of your friend mann; Ihave
seen his swollen body; know that
i without much trouble can re-
store to health and strength"
Then the wOman's spirit vOuch-
safed answer, eff the case be such,
you might as well cure him"
Then the spirit held up bottle
of peculiar hue and the woman
sighed mOurnfully. She wax

his wife. While on the way. Il

wrapped in meditation. Had she

But then the dream was yeryplain.
the man she had seen once a very
short time ago. She remembered
now he had been to see her about
getting some ava root. She re-
fused and HaleOle left mumbling
vague things. Immediately her
body began to swell and she saw
tOads swimming before her eyes.
She was taken TO the hospital and
restored to health. The outcome
of the affair was that KahaleOle
was called in.
Then came the circus and the
light went out amid the bowling of
dogs. KahaleOle with one eve
closed and the other looking heav-
onward came in the door with a
gust of wind. Pahupu being the
most spiritual looking woman in
the lot he called her to his side |
and gave his directions as follows:
Il am Kahaleole, only son of my
father, IkeOle, and my mother.

follow my directions. When your |
dog begins his barking, kindle out
upon the lawn a fire hot as hell's |
own furnace. In your right hand |
take five tarO leaves and in your .
left five chicken eggs. When a
blush flame appears throw the
contents of both hands into the I.
fire. Watch this bottle which I /
have; peculiar fluid is contained |
therein" Pahupu on smelling
found the contents to be wine and /
brandy. Pound some ava root /
with the heel of your shoe and add
thereto a little mysterious water.
This apply to the patients body in
spots where the swelling appears.
When the application dries apply
more water. Do this all in sober
est mood and at nightfall your
friend will rise as a new man."
But there is one part which I
have not told" said the woman
Before these instruc-
tons were given, KahaleOle asked
for a dollar. He said a dollar was
necessary in order that he might
be able to look into the mysterious
