tenant swan out to the place where boat
had sunk in frightful storm, set two Of
the drowning persons on his back, seized
one in his teeth clutched one in each hand,
grappled two more, using his toes to hold
them up, and swan ashore with them,
propelling himself by danse du ventre
movement Of the abdominal muscles.
After this little feat he went to Chile,
cast his lot with the insurgents, taking a.
prominent part in the battles of Iquique,
Pisagua, Huara, Antofogasta, Taital and
Copiapo, SO prominent in fact, that the
tnsurgent leaders became jealous of him:
and this, combined with the fact that the
wife of prominent general had fallen
madly in love with him, brought matters
to a crisis. Harden was accused Of treason
and had to fly. Twice he returned to con-
sole the heartbroken wife of the general,
and twice he barely escaped with his life.
His next active service was In Honolulu,
where he got together half dozen natives
and Matched up what was termed by -cour-
tesy revolution, for which he was run out
Of the country. Fiji and Samoa were then
honored by visits from him, but it seems
chat rumors of his inf1ammatory character
had preceded him, for he was invited to
depart, and he departed, breathing threats
of slaughter and revenge. Some day he is
going back there with shipload Of dyna-
mite to blow those islands into nothing
ness. Back he went to Honolulu and staid
there three days. Then the government
sped the parting guest with many hints of
dungeons dark and execution by military
code, whereupon the doughty lieutenant
took ship for San Francisco.
Miss Carlotta Rosa Cahoosa is an Indian
girl from Mexico whose parents, being
wealthy, brought her on to San Francisco
to attend the Midwinter fair. They came
early, and shortly after their arrival Miss
Cahoosa, who is 10 years old, very pretty
and Of an impulsive temperament, became
acquainted with John Kal1ni a full blood
cd Hawaiian, who set himself to capture
her young affections, and to all appear
ances had succeeded when Lieutenant
Harden made his appearance on the scene.
Gold lace, the clanking sword and the tale
of hairbreadth Escapes by flood and field
won the heart Of the Indian maid away
from her dusky adnirer, and she turned
from him to the young Englishman. Kali
mi met Lieutenant Harden out walking
on day, smote him upon the nose and
would probably have been impaled upon
the soldiers sword but for the interference
of bystanders.
"We will meet againl" shouted the war
rior. IT challenge you. i will cut your
heart into mince meat!"
This prospect didn't appeal to Kalmi.
He was willing-nay, anxious-to fight,
but he insisted that no weapons should be
used. Nothing but blood, Harden declared,
could wipe out the insult, but he was
finally prevailed upon to consider nose
blood as satisfactory in the eraser line as
hearts blood, and the two rivals met in a
saloon with no gloves and no rules to him
der them. In the sixth round Kalmi re-
oeived terrific kick in the stomach and
threw up the sponge, to- put it mildly. Then
the lieutenant disappeared from public
view, as did Miss Cahoosa He deserted
his old haunts, and it was long before his
friends found out that he was living very
quietly at SAB Howard street, where Miss
Cahoosa was also living very quietly, too
so quietly indeed that her parents didn't
know anything about it.
While there Miss Cahoosa made the &C.
quaintance of an agreeable young fellow
boarder named Paterson, to whom she in
troduced Lieutenant Harden. The two
men became quite intimate, and it is prob
able that Harden knew before the police
did that Paterson was professional bur-
glar named Sullivan. About a week ago
Sullivan was caught in the exercise of his
profession, his dwelling place was discov-
cred and Harden and Miss Cahoosa were
arrested. The detectives are now trying
to find out from them something about
Burglar Sullivan, but both declare that
they know nothing.
