Separate Towels for Children.

Two or more children should not be
permitted 10 use the same towel. Each
child should have a separate one, and
be taught to regard II as personal prop
erty. Towels may be bought with mi
tails woven In them, which makes 1t
easy for the owner to distinguish his
own. Diseases of the eye and skin dis
eases are easily communicated by the
indiscriminate use of the same towel
by different persons. If carcfulness in
this matter be inc,llcated in childhood
it may save much sufferirg.-Ladies'

In the solitude OF our cells, my uncle
Ten, Mr.. Seacamp and i knew moth
ing of the stirring scenes that were be-
'inv enacted around Us on the morning
following our arrest. But l learned
enough from Gordon and others to en-
able me to give fairly correct idea of
what really occurred
At dsyoreak, company of United
States marines went ashore and took
their position near the American Lega-
ton. / presume there was an UNDER
Standing also between Minister Stevens
and Commander Wiltse that the United
States vessels in the harbor should be
held in readiness to respond in case
American interests needed further
protection.
There was great excitement in Hon
olulu and some rioting in the streets.
Timorous Americans with their wives
and children, not knowing what out
RACES might be attempted by the ad-
herents of the corrupt throne, hastened
to place themselves under the protec-
tion of their flag.

CHAPTER TX.

The days dragged slowly along.
The suspense was anything but pleas
ant. With raging ex-queen on its
hands, the provisional government was
in an uncomfortable position, uncer-
tain as were the heads of it how they
would be treated by the United States
Government.
Finally dispatches came commend
ing Minister Stevens, aud promising
an immediate study of the question Of
annexation,
Under this reassuring stimulus bus
mess revived, calm content peryaded
all parts of the country. We felt se-
cure, and, knowing that our position
was the right one, we saw no reason
to look for any further trouble.
Gordon was placed at the head Of
the army, and at once threw himself
into the effort to strengthen his forces
aud perfect tue discipline of his little
troop.
He did not, however, for moment
relax his vigilance in the search for
Winifred. We continued the hunt
during all the days following the rev.
olution. Together we made trips to
different islands that were inhabited,
making searching inquiries among the
people, but had learned nothing.
Gordon's headquarters in the Gov
ernment building became also the
headquarters of an organized force
that was constantly in action, looking
for traces of my lost sister. Presi-
dent Dole interested himself in the
hunt. Jollroy Seacamp was ever ON
the alert. Gordon detailed men from
his command, and sent them to the
different islands. Reports from these
different scouting parties were con-
stantly coming in, but they were all in
the same vein-no news-nothiug but
false clues

condition OF things.
But Jollroy Scacamp could not con-
tain himself. He flung his hat in the
air and danced with joy.
"Hoorayr' he shouted. "Didn't l
tell you? Didn't say it had TO come?
The eagle has screamed, and pia 50

footstool will have no flaw. On with

proclaim to the world that we are part
Of its greatest nation"
Jollroy went of to celebrate the
event.
s'Come to the Nuuanu House, and
we will pull cork to the new era, he
said
''Not now, but later,' replied
Gordon.
Uncle Tom went at once to see Mr.
Dole at the palace, and hurried to
Mr.. Dole's house TO inform his family
of his safety and to rejoice with them
over the American ascendency.
For three days there were unrest
and riotiag in Honolulu, but no lives
were lost.
The new order OF things was pro-
claimed in Hawaii and the other is
lands and accepted with Joy by a
majority of the people.
Boniires were burned at night in
celebration, and an era Of prosperity
was opened.
An election was held, a provisional
government was established, with
5andford Dole, president, Thomas
Warri1gford, my uncle, secretary OF
state, and other prominent Americans
filling the other places in the cabinet.

the United States, at once req, 60, ll,iilea

reiaed to treat aad held out for the
queen. As he was related to the
royal house, this course was not sur
prising.
Dispatches were prepared and sent
to the Hawaiian minister at Wash
inton, announcing the revolution, and
advising him to make sundry COM
munications to the United States Gov
ernment, among them being the de-
sire on the part Of Hawaii to be an
nexed.
This was against the advice of my
uncle and a goodly portion of the
American League. But it seemed the
will Of majority. and had to go.
1t took from three to four weeks to
exchange advices between Honolulu
and Washington, and all we could do
now was to wait.

THE RED LILY.


A Pretty Legend of the Flowers in tho
Garden of Gethsemane.
The red lily of Palestine is in size
and shape much like our Easter lilies.
but they are yellow with purple
streaks upon the outside and a red
blush tint within. In the bottom OF
each bell there are six drops of sweet
water-like tears. If you take these
away six more will at once take their
places. About this flower this pretty
story is told by the simple folk who
live near there: Once the Garden
Of Gethsemane was full OF flowers OF
all kinds, and among them none so
fair and queenly as the slender. stately
lily, with all her clustering bells proud
ly upright. 1t was eventime, and the
Lord came to walk awhile in His gar
den. As He passed along. each gentle
flower bowed before Him while He
breathed the refreshment of the quiet
hour upon them; but when He came to
the lily her naughty head remained
erect In the defiance of conscious
beauty. The Lord paused and looked
upon her. For a second she braved
that bright, mild eye Of reproof. then
slowly hent her silvery bells. while
bushes swept in painful brilliancy
over them. Still the Lords gaze rested
on her; lower sank her head. deeper
burned her crimson; then tear after
tear welled up in the lily cups. At this
the Lord passed on. When morning
came all the flowers lifted theih heads
and smiled to see the light; all but the
lily. that once white queen among
them. Her head remained bowed in
shame. while to this day she bushes
over her vanity. and the tears Of re-
pentance still flow in the delicate cups
of the flower that refused to bend be-
fore the Lord as He walked in the
Garden of Gethsemane at the evening
| hour"
