his flaming sword stood over against
him, or how many times the wretched
man behind him drew back from his
ghastly task.
At length the shells were all cast, and
Peter, with what strength of mind he
had, thanked God that his trial was
over, but as the men were leaving the
foreman said to the two friends: @I

We were late running the metal in, and
It must be raked for at least an hour

Supposing you pushed him into the pit
Of molten steel, who would suspect

With these thoughts racing through
his mind, Peter began the afternoons
work Of shell casting. Groups of men,
each carrying long iron pole sheathed
at the end with wood, approached a
large furnace; a hole was knocked in
the end, and a small stream of molten
Kissing steel flowed out, sending show
ers of sparks In the a1r. With a long
hook the foreman pushed iron buckets
under the flowing rtvulet of metal;
each one, when filed, was siung by its
carriers on the pole, and was borne
shoulder-high to the shell molds and
there emptied. Peter and Dick started
ct length with their load, with the lat

thoughts filed the formers mind. A
trip on his part would send the molten

The favorable position of Honolulu
will be materially enhanced by the alb

cables across the Pacific. 1t Is obvious
that all cables between Australia and

home. A great longing for the rest and
comfort of his lodgings came over him,
and braced his tired muscles into &C

was only one redeeming feature In

admiring eyes. Bright green paint

Mrs Dart, drying her hands, came into
the kitchen. Her trim. neat figure. her

all proclaimed her foreign descent, and,
together with her tidy house and smart
dress, brought down upon her the scorn
and hatred of her neighbors.
The big man looked Mt her with q

embarrassing, for she began getting
ready the supper.

her and leaning over the fire, "I'll not
