There were human skulls everywhere. In

HERMIT OF THE DEATH CAVE.
A Story of Skeletons.
BY FRANKLIN AUSTIN.

"You don't mean to tell me, your
Majsstyy y: that you actually believe in
81 am perfectly sure that ghosts exist,
said his Majesty, because l have seen
them myself. We all have an astral body
which, after death, may return to earth
with power to make itself visible. Further
more, am of the opinion that this astral
body can, under certain circumstances,
rehabilitate the skeleton of their former
selves and temporarily bring the dead to
life. Our Hawaiian philosophy does not go
thus far in its reasoning, perhaps, yet in
the past, after death, the ancient Hawaii
ans waited before burying their dead until
the bones could be easily extracted. The
bones were then buried in caves and laid
out systematically upon shelves or lodges
in the caves. Why did they do this?
can assure you that / have witnessed the
phenomenon of the astral body taking
possession of the bones of their former
selves and appearing again as though in
the flesh.
"Such phenomena is impossible, your
Majesty; perfectly inconceivable.
This collo,quy took place in the early
King Kalakaua and Ernest Greenwood.
wealthy young New Yorker, who was
travelling around the world. He had come
to Hawaii armed with letter of introduce
ton to the King from a prominent naval
officer. The King had entertained him at
a formal dinner at the Palace, and was
now giving him taste of ''high jinks' at
the boathouse, where only Bohemianism
prevailed.
There was champagne galore and at
intervals the Kings dancing girls gave an
exhibition of the hula hula before the as
sembled guests in the large and elegantly
decorated hall The girls had Just retired
and the quintette had begun to play an
Hawaiian air in the interval, when the fore
going conversation attracted the attention
of the ''boys," as his Majesty's immediate
circle were Familiarity called.
eff you are willing to go to Hawaii (the
steamer sails tomorrow at IL o'clock) and
investigate this matter for yourself; will
wager hundred dollars that you will re-
turn convinced of the existence of ghosts.
will give you letter of introduction to an
old kahuna, who has somehow learned to
as The Kahuna or Hermit of the Death
Cave The trip will take nearly two
weeks and command that this same party
shall be present here two weeks from to-
night to hear the story of your adven-
lures said the King.
. 1t is a 90, assured Greenwood, laugh
ing. "fll take the wager and be off to-
morrow. There is my hand on it, And
after several more bottles of wine and more
dancing the party broke up to meet again
at the appointed time.
Two weeks later Greenwood was the
center of attraction at the boathouse With
lhe circle drawn up around him he related
the thrilling story of his adventures, which
was as follows: -

81 proceeded at once to Hilo as your
Majesty directed and as soon as posi-
bic sought out the people your Majesty
had directed to furnish me with saddle
horse and guide, and the next morning we
started for Puma, the land of caves and
cocoanuts. Except for the grand and pic
turesque tropical forest through which the
trail wound for nearly half the distance, the
journey was a tedious one. About :, clock
in the afternoon, my native guide stopped
and surveyed the country around with his
eye, then plunged suddenly into blind
trail, hidden by ferns and bushes nearly
as high rs our heads, that led in the direc-
ton of the mountains. After about half an
hours ride, over the rockiest trail | ever
saw, we came to bluff or precipice about
fifty feet high; there the trail turned to the
left winding along at the foot of the hills.
In few minutes we sighted q green spot
in the rocky desert. with a primitive hut
built close up to the precipice, with one end
of it abutting the wall of rock. Here
my guide again paused and with abject ter
ror depicted on every feature of his coun-
tenance, he silently pointed to the hut. then
wheeling his horse started down the trail
we had just come over, like scared wolf
would not have supposed man could
ride horse over that rocky trail at full
speed with safety to life and limb had it not
been that late that night | accomplished
that same feat and still live.
81 must confess that the sudden terror
of my guide, at only the sight of the hut in
this lonely spot somewhat disconnected me
and | felt like following him. But l was
determined to solve the mystery, and pull
ing myself together trotted leisurely down
the incline into the hollow, or meadow and
went boldly up to the hut. AS approached
al, los
came out to meet me. He was entirely de-
void of clothing, with the exception of
breech clout. His skin was dark-brown
and shone like polished ebony, only not so
dark. He was tall, erect and athletic, and
carried himself with extraordinary dignity.
The only thing about him that indicated age
was his white hair and whiskers and wrink-
les under his eyes and around his knees.
Ashe approached he seemed to tower above
me like giant His eyes were riveted
upon me suspiciously, and he said in the
most scathing tones, Ka. he haoli. lit
is only white man,
So He had such d commanding presence
and he looked at me in such !. way that |
almost felt terrified. When handed him

"While my weird host unsaedled my horse
