band of the Detroit News met us
with the City press people and we
marched to Sousa time. At the
handsomely furnished News build
ing we were banqueted, toasted,
entertained by music and taken
through the rooms OF the establish
ment and then lodged ut the Ste
Claire. Friday morning we were
the guests of the street car company
and we spent the hours at Mt.
Clemens visiting the baths and
hotels. The ride to Mt. Clemens
was delightful and cakes, ice and
punch were served on the cars. The
Mayor of the city welco med us and
in front Of the court house we posed
for the photographer, and the
picture will hang in the Paris
Salon in 1900 and we will call it
"Innocents Abroad" Friday after
noon the Ohio visitors were taken
to Belle Isle and to the theatre in
the evening. Some of the party
however left Detroit in the after
noon returning to Toledo by boat,
some remained for longer visit
and the party that left the Valley
in such merry spirits Wednesday
was broken up. Some were also
broken in way too meterial for
mention in this poetical harangue.
The friendship for .neu in the outing
were delightful, especially those on
the boat, for man and girl can
not resist the pressure of the moon
light on the water. The outing was
a splendid affair and Detroit people
are fine and we love them even If
they do live in Michigan, and Tole-
do--well three cheers for Toledo,
her newspapers, her editors, and
the beautiful city, the Centennial
city for 1903-and cheers again for
every one we met, for ourselves
we have to do it since we found
out how nice we were from our
entertainers newspapers in the
North.

Large Lumber Business.

lVinton Republican,
J. j. Snider, of Logan, owns and
operates fourteen saw mills in this
and adjoining counties, besides he
handles the product of four other
mills. Mr.. Snider shipped from
various railroad stations adjacent
to his mills 100000 feet of lumber
last week. Taking all the branches
of this extensive business into con-
sideration it will be observed that
it requires large number of work
men to carry it on and demands
close attention to successfully
manage it.
Mr.. Snider intends to take all h is
employees to Columbus free OF
charge during the State Fair for
an outing.

Weather and Crop.

The weather for the week ending
August IA has been slightly warmer
than usu.l, while the precipitation
has been deficient, except in south
western counties. Reports from
Adams, Brown and Clermont coun-
ties indicate that the damage to
crops, fields and highways on the
morning of the 11th by heavy
rains amounts to thousands of dol
lars. Mr.. n. Dugan, in Selig,
Adams county, reports that about
200 acres of tobacco were destroy.
ed in that township. Two reports
from Brown county state that
bridges, barns and dwelling houses
were washed away. 1t is very dry
in some northern counties, and
rain is badly needed.
Very complete reports have been
received on the conditions of the
corn crop, and with two or three
exceptions there has been a splen-
did improvement in the past few
weeks and the outlook is very
promising. Correspondents from
at least half a dozen counties re-
port one of the largest crops ever
known. Cutting will be begun on
the earliest fields from August 20
to %. With favorable weather
conditions large part of the first
planted corn will be out of danger
from frost by September l, while
the bulk of the whole crop will be
safe by the 18th. Some of the late
planted and the replanted fields, as
we'll as some fields that were check
ed by the drought will need until
October l to fully mature. The
average of all the dates estimated
) by the correspondents is Septem'
ber l3.
Except where damaged by loca
storms the tobacco prospect has
materially improved during tht
week. Cutting has generally be
gun, and the crop is going into the
sheds in good condition. Potatoes
and gardens are generally doinf
+. well. Threshing continues.

Gordon might come to see me.
But he said nothing about Uncle
Tom, and 1 learned better not to ask
him questions.

In the afternoon, Malliauki en-

onto the porch.
A large easy-chair was provided
with cushions and pillows and placed
by my bedside. Into this l was
seated, or. rather, seated myself. for
I was strong enough for that, and two
of the men lifted chair and all and
carried me onto the porch.

much for me. But they were not
needed.

Gordon came galloping up the ROAD.
He gave his horse over to stableman
and came tramping up the broad
steps. He looked better than the last
time 1 saw him, haggard and worn
through care and loss Of sleep; but
there was look of melancholy or his
face that showed sorrow and anxiety.
As he came onto the porch he gave
Tilling an inquiring look. There must
have been an answer in Things
glance, for the worried look on Cor
don's face deepened.
'There is something gone wrong
which 1 have not been told" / said.
"Whatever it is. you may tell me with

'I'm glad to see your eyes looking
at me As if they knew me, Tom, old
man, said Gordon, and there was a
tremor in his usually even voice.
"What--what--is the matter with

my illness was, but he put his finger
ON my lips and forbade me to speak.
Gordon shook his head warningly,
and lay in silence, wondering what

knew what was doing, so intense was
the strain / was under. Yet / had o
horrible thought that l was aiding
them to murder my sister. Whatever
hope had been aroused by Kaumai's
words, fed when she appeared and
famed the frenzy Of the excited priests.
Kaumai, with a high-priest on each
side of her, stood facing the lava. lake,
and as here and there steam Jets would
appear, she bowed and exhorted Pele
to subdue the tumult and promised
that a sacrifice worthy Of the goddess
would be made.
Nimolau and Patua the fisherman
withdrew.
While the fervor of the priests was
at its highest, Nimolua, and Patua re-
appeared, carrying between them
burden wrapped in the black sacri-
fetal robe that had been thrown on
Winnie by the priest.
1 sprang forward and seized Kau-
mails arm.
"Womanl" / cried. "Priestessi
Devil Whatever you are, will you let
them murder my sister in cold blood
viii you still believe the damnable
trash that 1 told you was not true?
Speak the word that will save my
sister now"
A look Of entreaty, blended with
fear, came into her face.
A high-priest took me roughly by
the arm.
''You must not anger Pele, he said.
'The devil take Pele," / roared.
"And you, tool They are numbering
my sisterl Is there no God to pre-
vent this? Can it be that we are for
saken by heaven and earth as well?"
Kaumai drew herself up in queenly
dignity, and motioned for the priest
to take me aside.
Nimolau and Patua advanced with
their unconscious burden to the brink
Of the lake. They poised the body Of
my poor sister, and waited.
''Pele," said Kaumai, with one
hand raised, 1--WE send to you chosen
one to become your servant in Halea-
kala. This beautiful girl that comes
to you to-day has many friends, who
by this act will become followers and
worshipers of you. We pray you,
Pele, Goddess Of Power, Of Right, to
stay the fires under Kapatoli, and
saves us from the wrath Of the violent
Volcano"
