daughter was married from the terraced
and luxurious Along home, and If Papa
Along was not present to give them away,
at least his portrait, hanging on the wall
testified to their good will for him, while
their spacious mansion and luxurious sur
roundings told of his regard for them.
And Mamma Along smiled and was
content. Her Chinese husband had been
hard working, shrewd, successful and
generous-far- beyond any Hawaiian hus-
band on record-and her girls were max
ing satisfactory matches. Eighteen grand
children clustered about Mamma Along
knee. and Mrs. Along, well preserved,
good-looking and prosperous, looked upon
her white sons-in-law and thought, "All
is we'll"
But there is always fly in the mo-
lasses, and at last I. r. Burns came to
Honolulu in search of a divorce-apd, it
was rumored, an Along. Mrs. Along at
once discovered the fly, but instead of In

serve some corner of the drawing or sit
ting room for that purpose, If no room can
be specially allotted for 1t.
Here, surrounded by screens, artistically
arranged, so as to shut her off into de-
lightful privacy, in the midst Of plants
and flowers, she can dream, or write, or
simply mediate. 1t Is here that, morally,
she throws off all worthy conventionality
and allows herself without restraint the
Joy of being entirely her own self, without
the ever ready smile of ceremony.
In the boudoir her intimate friends come
to tell their secrets or gossip Of the
latest drawing room news. In the little
desk close at hand is locked up all the
precious correspondence of her dear ones,
and in fit moments she delights to peruse
it once more.
The boudoir is forbidden to all casual
intruders. Milady lives in it for herself
only, with her favorite books, her piano
and her music. Everywhere else she may
seek to shine, to be queen. In her retired
little nook she only plans her happiness
and how to keep it.

she thought him ''fly."
So Bessie met him outside which. al"
though not an original mode OF procednres
was satisfactory enough. They bicycled
together daily and spent many hours IN
each others society, while the sisters TOOK
sides and Mrs. Along refused to accept
CONGRATULATIONS. In the meantime Mrs.
Along was told that her would-be son-tn-
law had stated, on leaving San Francisco
s'I am going to Honolulu to marry an

Afongs look alike to me-"
This was not soothing. Mrs. Along be-
Heved 1t, but Bessie did not, and so sha
and her fiance waited for the divorce, and
they came to realize that the law is slow.
In all this time Mr.. Burns was never
admitted into the Along home. And the
majority of Mrs Afong's sons-in-law
stood in with her. But the Magoons came
to the rescue and had the wedding, and
now Mr. and Mrs. Burns are residing in
a neat little cottage on Emma street, two
or. three miles away from the Along
home, and they don't speak to Mamma
Along as they pass by. Still it is thought
that reconciliation will take place, for
although each of the girls has $4,000 of
her own, Mrs. Along has more.

sister, Mrs. J. Alfred Magoon, and with
a younger sister for bridesmaid became,
under a maili bower, Mrs. l. R. Burns.
The Along family has been for some time
divided against itself. 1t began when
young Humphries, a lawyer who married
Marie Along, attempted to interfere in
the management of the Along affairs.
Mrs. Along took his advice kindly, but
the majority of the girls rebelled, and
things were never the same again." So
the girls, who have sided with Bessie in
her love affair, did it more to go against
their mother and her adviser, Mr..
Humphries, than for any real sympathy
with Bessie, who was not going to marry
anything but plain civilian after all, re-
gardless of the Along fondness for brass
buttons.
Mrs. Along has brought up twelve
daughters without until lately, a suspt-
cion of "pilikia'-which is Hawaiian for
any form of trouble. When Papa Along

Miss Gould has all the old fashioned

a confidence to an intimate friend.
There are" she said, ''three things

Frank to be a fine man, as good a man
as my father was, for 1 believe he was

The Power of a Cyclone.

Careful estimates of the force of a
cyclone and the energy required to keep
a full fiedged hurricane in active operation
reveals the presence of a power that
makes the mightiest efforts of man ap-
pear as nothing in comparison. A force
fully equal to four hundred and seventy
three million horsepower was estimated
as developed in a West Indian cyclone.
This is about fifteen times the power that
is creatable by al. the means within the
range Of mans capabilities during the
same time. Were steam, water, windmi1ls
and the strength of all men and animals
combined they could not at all approach
the tremendous force exerted by this ter
