CHArTER XY1I1.

June WAS uellsntel 10 return nome. AS
for Tom. his joy at recovering her was
eNubcrant: he could hardly take his eyes
off his darling. and returned for the nonce
to the lover-likc demonstrations of the
first part of their married life, which June
in later days had so sorcly missed.
Nudge came UP TO the Hall every day,
and the cousins talked with much inter
est of the incidents of their stay in town,
and looked forward exceedingly to the ad-
vent of some of thcir London friends ut
the end of the month. Mrs. T%rcvanion

of bcing perhaps rather too old. 1t

Carsluke. Dallas, June and Madge made
n very happy quartet. They rode and
drove, played lawn tennis. strolled in the
gardens, snt under big trees, went on the
lnkelct-always together, and yet sutti-
GENTLY apart to be able to carry on their
conversations out of zach others imme-
date hearing. Tom was tremendously
busy with various bucolic operations, and
no smallest thought crossed his mind of
there being any danger in leaving two
such handsome young people together as
his wife and Dallas. June was his; to his
way of thinking. the marriage ceremony
locked the doors of a woman's heart and
gave the key over to her husbands keep
ing. There were only two sorts of women
the right sort and the wrong sort. June
was the right sort; therefore, for her,
there only existed one man in the world,
and there was no earthly occasion for him
to watch That no one else had designs OH
his property.
So far his confidence was perfectly JUS
tilted. June loved her husband, and was
not likely to have n thought about any
other man, except, perhaps, that he was
good to look ut md good company. and
Dal,as was full of his unfortunate pas
sion, and, although never unappreciativc
of II pretty woman, had no thought or
wish that might cndanger his hosts and
cousins peace Of mind.
Dinner was over. June was about to
rise from the table.

Dallas, in a low voice. I'VE don't want

A Song of Ecstasy.

In the Century there is a paper OF
the Songs of American Birds" by
John Burroughs. Mr.. Burroughs says:
\ very interesting feature of our bird
sengs is the wing-song, or song of &C.
stasy. 1t is not the gift of many of
our birds. Indeed, less than a dozen
species are known to me as singing on
the wing. 1t seems 10 spring from
fore intense excitement and self-aban-
donncmt than the ordinary song deliv-
cred from the perch. When the birds
joy reaches the point of rapture it is
literally carried off its feet. and up it
goes into the air, pouring out its song
as a rocket pours its sparks. The sky
lark and the bobolink habitually do
this, but n few others of our birds do it
only on occasions. Last summer, UP
in the Catskills, l added another name
to my list of ecstatic singers-that Of
the vesper-sparrow. Several times 1
heard n new song in the air, and
caught a glimpse Of the bird as it
dropped back to earth. My attention
would be attracted by n succession of
hurried. cilirping notes, followed by a
brief burst of song, then by the vanish.
ing form OF the bird. One day 1 was
lucky enough to see the bird as it was
rising to it's climax in the air, and
identified is as the vespersparrow.
The burst of song that crowned the
upward flight of seventy-five or one
hundred feet was brief; but it was bril-.
liant and striking, and entirely unlike
the leisurcly chant of the bird while up.
on the ground. It suggested a lark, hut
was less buzzing or humming. The
preliminary ch!rping notes. uttered
faster and faster as the bird mounted
in the air, We're like the trail of sparks
which n rocket elnits before its grand
burst of color at the top of it's flight.

somewhat languid. while there was
nothing more exciting than loading
boxes and bales to stimulate it. re-

the day was about to occur.
The Mauna Loa had been at her
wharf with steam up all morning. The
departing passengers had long been
aboard and friends who had come to
bid them good bye but felt they
could not leave until the steamer act
ually departed, were really getting
| tired. Belated freight was delaying
the departure. And still crowd that
swarmed the wharf and filed up the
adjacent streets with hacks and BIZ
cycles waited.
The wait was about to be ended. AS
the murmured announcement of the

dusly rider on a stocky gray horse
darted out from the shed adjoining
the Inter-Island wharf Office Fast
to the pummel of his saddle was a
strong lariat and tugging at the other
end. tossing his head and struggling
in wild anger was a dun colored bull.
Behind was another dusky horseman,
and he too had lariat fastened by
a running blight to his saddle pommel,
the other end firmly tied around the
bulls horns. Both lariats were taut.
There was a scurry in the crowd to
get at safe distance. The two
horsemen with the bull swung be-

they were enacting the first stage of
a bull fight.
Sl<illfully the two horsemen led the
struggling bull toward the waiting
steamer. The picador in advance rode
his horse around a post which gave
him purchase on his lariat, altogeth-
er too much for the bulls furious
strength. The burly superintendent
of the tactical enterprise got his bull

Defense OF OUR AARBOR
FLOATING BATTLE FORTS MAY BE
RELIED ON.
The Novel Scheme of Naval Defense
Suggested to the British Admiralty
May be the Thing for Us.

General Merriam says in San
Francisco interview on the proposed
harbor defenses of Honolulu that the
outlook, owing to the low coral reefs
in front of the city, is not promising,
and that he is inclined to think that
the city must depend for most of it's
protection from an enemys attack
upon ships of the coast defense type.
In this connection it may be of in
terest to recall novel scheme of
naval defense applicable to cities plac-
ed as Honolulu is, which has recently
been suggested to the war Office and
admiralty of Great Britain by Major
General Crease. He proposes placing
number of floating battle forts at
certain important localities, the forts
to be of 1,500 tons, 400 feet length,
100 feet beam, draft II 1-2 feet and a
! speed of eight knots They are to
have side armor of 12 inches, taper
| ing to inches below water. Four
two story turrets will carry the heav-
lest guns made. To each battle fort
are to be attached two battleship eX-
terminators of 5000 tons, unarmored,
with guns solely to repel torpedo boat
destroyers, and their only means of
attacking battleships would be by
ramming and torpedoes. They are to
! be $50 feet long, 80 1-2 feet beam and
with $4,000 horse power a speed of 35
! knots is anticipated.

RUN 70 EARTH At LAST
BOGUS BILLS MANDATORY IS
LOCATED.
Counterfeit Notes and Plates Found
Street-Police After Him.

Marshal Brown paid an une1 pected
visit to the room occupied by Ed Aid
rich on Nuuanu street. this morning,
and was rewarded by finding a lot of
counterfeit bills and the plates they
were printed from, together with con-
siderable discriminating evidence. Sc
curing this the marshal took a hack
and drove up to house on Fort street
on which AIdrich was doing u Job of
painting. Unfortunately the man saw
him coming and guessing what he
was after jumped a fence in the rear
and disappeared before the hack had
come to a stop. He will doubtless be
captured before long, as he is well
known to every policeman on the
force.
rhe marshal drove back to the po-
lice station and sent out number of
his best men to look for Aldrich and
every avenue of possible escape has
been guarded.
An examination of the counterfeit
bills found in the room showed them
to be photographs of genuine Hawaii
an paper money, the denominations
being S5, so and $50, amounting in all
! to $500. Most of them were poor spe-
cimens of printing, however, and
were evidently thrown aside as not
being safe to pass.
Aldrich has long been under sus-
picion of manufacturing these notes,
and has been closely watched for
some time. When the counterfeit bills
| first made their appearance here Aid
rich was suspected and his room was
searched, but nothing was found of
an discriminating nature. Suspicion
was then thrown on other parties pur-
posely and with good effect. The po-
lice have positive Information that
Aldrich has attempted to pass num-
Der of these bills in town within the
past few days; also that a quantity of
them were shipped to Manila.
Aldrich was in the employ of the
police department for some time as
assistant to j. Bachelor, the inspec-
tor of weights and measures and in
other capacities and is well known.
4 mis- room is situated up an alley run
ming of Nuuanu street near the Cen
tra Meat Market. The counterfeit
bills were photographs, pure and sim
pie. there being no attempt whatever
to doctor them up in any way.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
1 he Law of Partnership Transactions
Laid Down in Brief.

Hon. Paul Neumann sitting in place
of Justice FreaT is the author of a
unanimous decision of the supreme
court in the equity suit of F. l..
Dortch VS.. \. V. Gear, in which an
appeal was taken by plaintiff from a
decision of the circuit judge of the
First circuit, sustaining defendants
demurrer to the bill as amended and
dismussing the plaintiffs bill without
prejudice. The legal points decided
are that equity will take jurisdiction
for the relief of one partner where his
co-partner seeks to obtain for his sole
use and to the exclusion of the plain
tiff the benefit arising from transac-
ton within the scope of the co-part-
nership. A bill to obtain such speci'
fic relief is not demurrable, because a
general accounting is not prayed for
and that irrespective of the dissolu-
ton or continuance of the partner
ship.
The court says the demurrer should
be overruled with leave to the defend
ant to answer and with these direc'
tions the case is RENTED to the cir
cult court for further proceedings.
