Something New In stoves.

In our advertising columns to-
day, the Hawaiian Hardware
Company calls attention to new
stove which burns common coal
oil (kerosene) with blue fame
without odor. The oil is burned
from wick, as in a lamp, and is
absolutely non. explosive. 1t is
said to be the most economical
stove in the world, and one that is
exactly suited to climate like
ours. Call and examine samples
at the Hawaiian Hardware Com
pany's store. They are the sole
agents for the Hawaiian Islands.

the key turned in the lock.
. Two hours later the door
of the Office opened and Clarence
came forth, but a terrible change
had been made in his features
since he had passed in two hours

lodgings. as was his costom, he
turned his steps to the poorer
and less frequented portion OF
the town. Stopping before an
old, half delapedated building
which stood back quite dis

knocked. and was admitted by
an old negress in red head cloth
and dress. the door closing has

elapse c1 half an hour Frank
came forth. There was peculiar
expression in his eye. and his
step was more rapid than ever.
Walking down to the main street
he made his way back to the
bank. letting himself in by the
side entrance. In few mo-
ments he came forth with a large
Hat package. and with hasty
steps returned TO the old shanty.
This time he was admitted by a
little. peculiar looking huuch-
