"At midnight, darling" murmured
Harold, clasping the sweet Cynthia to his
bosom.
"And papa2" she asked trcmblingly, for
her father was a fierce old man who had on
more than one occasion spoken very un
kindly of her lover

youth.

WITH THE FIRST REGIMENT
ELECTRIC SIGNALS FOR THE NEW
KAKAAKo BUTTS.
Contract for the Work Awarded--Job
VIII BE Rushcd--D to BE Welded
\ and ll-Encampment.

The Hawaiian Electric Company
has taken the contract for putting in
electric bells at the new regimental
range at Kakaako. Work began this
morning. II has been found that
there are not enough bells in the
country to supply the range, 50 the
ordinary push button system, used in
hotels, has been adopted. This, of
course, will answer all purposes and
will be easier to handle. Each com
pany will have its own button, con-
nected with it's targets. The wires
will run down each side of the plank
walk to the bulllheads, half on eacn
side. This walk reaches the bulkhead
opposite the center target.
1t is wholly impossible today to say
when the range will he open. The
bells must he all in before shooting
can be allowed. At present the Elec-
trio Company is crowded with work
and Mr.. Hoffman can not say when
the job can be finished. Sergt. Elvin
hopes the range may be opened on
Saturday, but the chances are rather
slim.
Company \ win hold a business
meeting tomorrow evening.
Capt. Schaefer urges that success
ful contestants in the June shoots
call at headquarters at once for their
medals.
Before another meeting is held,
which will probably not be until Oct.
2G the hoe will be freely used in the
ranks of Company d. This was auth
orzed at the last meeting and the
officers will do the work. Men who
have not shown up for drill in the
past several months will be dis
charged and their accoutrements
called in. The active members pre-
fer forty men who will turn out to
seventy who will not.
In case the second battalion does
not have an encampment in the next
few weeks, Company II will likely
have one of its own.

"Some few years ago l suffered

CHAPTER III.

Harold stood beneath the window, gazing
heavenward, where Cynthia sat waiting for
his call
Darling" His voice hoated upward
in whisper and fell upon her entranced
ear.
Waiting, dearest" she murmured as
she leaned far over the window sill and
peered down in the very mid of the night.
In moment he had thrown ladder
against the wall, and in another she was
in his arms.
Nothing on earth shall part us now, :"
he said fiercely, shaking his clinched fist
toward the window behind which the ia
ther slept
Nothing, dearest; nothing, nothing, :"

for an instant only.

drew two bicycles from the darkness.

For an instant the trembling girl hest
tated, then she stopped resolutely.

Tho Skeleton Of De Soto.

The local historians of Baton Rouge,
La, believe that the mortal remains OF
Fernando De Soto lie buried between
two gigantic live oaks near the present
site of Port Hudson. The books tell diff
ferent tales about the death and burial
of the great discoverer. Some say that
he was wrapped in his mantle and
thrown into the Mississippi; others that
the remains were incased in a hollow
log. In 1868 three hunters-Rigsby,
Davis and Hurin-were encamped near
what is now Port Hudson. While kim
ding fire they found human skele-
ton in hollow log that had been lying
in drift. The bones were those of a man
six feet tall In the log helmet, a
rusty sword and large bronze crucifix
were also found, and Oh one Of the fin
gers of the skeletons hand large seal
ring. The discoverers of this CHASTITY
memento- believe that the remains were
those of De Soto, the discoverer of the
Mississippi river. The burial place of
the bones is we'll known to the Rigsh 3,
who still reside in Louisiana.
