"a popularity about her personal

"a popularity about her personal
charm was that she attracted women
noticeably, and drew to her hun
dreds OF persons who had been in
clined, perhaps, to look with dis
favor on her cause because OF mis-
information that had been circulated
concerning it,"
"Do you think her visit to this
country will have any effect on her
personal fortunes7"
81 only know one thing that care
to state, and that is that | am as
proud as | can be OF the courtesy
aud chivalry OF my fellow country
men for the gallant manner in which
she was received wherever we went.
She had many official courtesies and
much manifestation OF personal re-
spect and admiration. She had
about 5000 callers while she was in
Washington, and l do not recall now
one single unpleasant incident Of
her receptions"
"You have terminated your official
relations with her?"
"Not exactly that | merely in
formed her majesty that l thought

tomary graciousness others, she told
me that my wish should be granted.
| have come home to rest-that is
all"
Sand you are still at her COM
mand2"
"At any hour that she may call
for me / am ready to hasten back to
her service. am in correspondence
with her still"
"Have you any idea of her future
movements"
81 have said once to her majesty
that it is not less difficult TO prog
nosticate a woman's mind from day
to day because the woman is queen
and | do not believe anybody can
tell what she is going to do. AS
guess | should say that she is more
likely to be in New York, Oct. Is,
than she is to be IN Honolulu on
that date.
"And now," said the captain, 81
must say that it was not only as her
secretary that | was OF service to
her majesty, but as her literary as
sistant also. Her occupation now
is primarily that of literary worker.
She has translated from the Hawai-
ian OF King Kalakaua, into English,
manuscript which has just left the
press, called The Hawaiian Tradi-
ton of the Creation of the World
This was commenced during her
imprisonment, and is intended for
circulation only among friends and
historical societies especially inter-
ested in Polynesian literature.
"She is about to publish book OF
Hawaiian songs, the words and
music of which are her own COM
position, and she has in hand also
Leaves From My Diary which will
be an autobiography. In the pre-
paration of these works | was her
stenographer and secretary"
"And now, captain" said the man
as he rose to go, "do you think the
queen will regain her throne?"
"To that question:" said the cap
tain, deliberately, 81 must answer as
she once answered.: This would be
a sad world indeed if any of US ever
really abandoned hope "-Boston
Globe.

| tell you scores or examples OF her
consideration for my little pecu-
liaritiea."
"For instance, must have lun III
con in the middle OF the day no
matter what happens. Now, very
frequently she had work for me at
that time, but always when noon
came she remembered me and i'm
mediately suspended whatever bust
ness we were engaged in and permit
ted me to retire for luncheon. Again,
l must 60 to bed at 9 o'clock at
night. 1t is custom which l can
not violate il l am to maintain good
health. For this also she provided,
and she arranged her engagements
always with that provision in mind"
at has been said, captain, by some
critics, that you had conceived a
strong attachment to the person Of
the queen. Is there any truth in
that's"
81 am not sure what people mean
by that kind Of statement. IL it is
meant that | entertained for her
majesty deep personal regard, and
that / reverenced her Christian,
womanly character, the statement
is true. l believe that nobody could
be long in her company without
feeling toward her a profound at
tachment."
"Was it this attachment which led
you first to take an interest in her
cause?"
"It was not, l may frankly say,
that interest in her was awakened
fret by the spectacle Of womanly
resignation to circumstances which
inflicted unjust suffering on her.
The cause Of her people FIRST ap-
pealed to me-, and my indignation
was aroused against har persecu-
tors"
"Your personal regard developed
after your acquaintance with her ia
this country"
"That is true. Her majesty sue
ceeded in graphing to her with
hoops OF steel those friends whose
devotion she had tried. She was
every inch OF queen, and beyond
that she was one of the most re-
markable women l ever knew"
"What are her most distinctive
personal graces"
"Above everything else she dis
played a disposition of the most
Christian forgiveness. For every
fault in others who came under the
criticism OF her little court she had
the broadcast mantle of Christian
charity to fling over them. Her
temper never was ruf1ed. She was
always serene, and frequently under
irritating circumstances. She anti
cipated the comfort of every person
who came within the orbit OF her in
huence, and a mother could not
have treated her children with more
genuine solicitude for their happi-
uess than she invariably displayed
toward all with whom she had per-
sonal relations"
"As mere woman, do you think
her handsome and attractive, cap
tain?"
81 think she was strikingly hand
some in her appearance. She had
a carriage that was truly superb.
Teachers OF elocution have said to
me that they could make their for
tunes if they knew how to impart to
their pupils the magnificent grace
OF movement which she always dis
played in whatever position she
took. When she stood erect she
presented truly queenly appear
ance, She was sovereignty in every
thing she did and said, a perfectly
natural queen"
els she woman OF deep personal
religious feeling?"
THAT is exactly how | should
characterize her. | remember that

for she was always glad to make the
acquaintance OF any gentleman or
lady who was interested in the cause
Of her people. She went to live in
Brookline to be near Mrs. Lee, and
l visited her every morning with the
mail, and consulted with her about

"All the compensation / desired"

spent in Boston we had little talk
about the matter, in the course of
which | offered to be of service to
her in any way that l could. She
thanked me aud said that she would

do"
did your relation as private
secretary develop out OF this CONVEX
sation alone?"
"At the end of thirty days she was
about to leave Boston. | had NO
notion that l was to accompany her.
One day she preached the subject of
my continued services. She asked
me il / would be willing to accom-
pany her as secretary, l inquired
whsther she was going far from
Boston and asked her how long she
wished me to remain with her. Then
I told her frankly that | could not
afford to leave Boston unless L
should be compensated for my SER
vices. She asked me what l thought
would be a liberal compensation. 1

ed me that she would be glad to

"You don't care to mention the
compensation"
"No, have nothing more to say

ly liberal. / was employed by the
day, with the understanding that
the engagement should terminate at
the pleasure of other party. When
l inquired how long l should bo

days or thirty. As matter OF fact
| was gone seven months. Right
here should like to mention Pc
culiarity of her majesty's method of
conduct. Some people have said a
great deal about her plans and pur-
poses for The future, the information
apparently being based on some e1-
preston that her majesty had let
fall. You may rest assured that
such stories are pure fabrications.
She never informs anybody Of her
intention to do anything until she is
on the point of doing what she con-
templated. She never told nae
where l was going except to say that
for the present our travels would be
in this country. She never intimat-
ed to me how long l should be with
her, and when she wished me to go
anywhere, she never told me until
she was ready for me to start"
"Were you completely satisfied
with her treatment of youa"
Satisfaction is not the emotion
which she inspires by her conduct.
1 never have known any woman so
considerate, so kind, and 80 liberal.
