1t was even possible for them in place
to kiss and rub noses through thu
parted bamboo pickets.
OF course, the well-regulated human
heart revolts against all cruelty, but il
was plain, so my uncle held, that this
privilege practically discounted all the
good to be gained by the later isolation
of the lepers on Molokai. Efforts hat
been made to bring about proper legis
lation on the matter, but proper legis
lation was out of the question with
Liliuokalani IN the throne.
"Here we are" said Uncle Tom, as
the carriage stopped before low build
ing near the American Legation.
The American League was composed
of Liberals from both wings. 1t had
been in existence great many years
and had been allowed to meet in {
large hall over the United States
Legation. When we entered the hal
was nearly full, and many of the peo'
pie knew were in attendance. The
American League had, as a reason fol
its existence, the interests of the en-
tire country at heart. OF course, its
members being Americans, their first
thoughts were for Americans; but the
PRONUNCIATION and support of measures
for the benefit of Hawaii was the OBJ
ject of the League.
Mr.. Dole was there and so were
Mr.. Seaeamp and Doctor Warren of
the Reception Hospital. who sat near
the front.
Shortly after we arrived, the meet
ing was called to order.
The chairman, rising, addressed the
League:
"My friends and fellow-Americans!"
he said. cit is with the deepest re-
gret that 1 state the object of this
meeting. We have long been ac-
quainted with the unsatisfactory and
improper condition of legislative
matters, and have struggled on for
years in vain hope that our queen
would soon listen to reason, and give
us wise and considerate Government.
But she has turned a deaf ear to the
counsels of those who are most vitality
interested in Hawaii and its future,
and has listened instead to the inter
lopers and adventurers who now in
fuence her in her extravaganza, but
who do not supply the revenues to
support the same. 1 have but one
duty to perform, and that is to tell
you that the hideous lottery act is
passed, and the opium act will become a
law in few days. The old constitu-
ton will be done away with, and
new one substituted. Under the new
constitution, the crown has the sole
privilege to appointments. Our cleo
tive franchises are destroyed. Our
lands again revert to the crown, with
or without compensation, as the queen
chooses. Thus, after paying the es-
tablshed price for our land, we are 10
have it taken from us by force. This
is the situation as it now stands. Mr..
Seldom has prepared a paper on the
growth of American industries in these
islands, which he will present before
the league takes any action on the
situation"

CHAPTER VI.

My uncle and 1 lived wi h heavy
hearts. Together with { ordon, Dole,
Seacamp, and with the assistance of
Minister Stevens, who was anxions
aud eager in his efforts, we continued
the search for Winnie, but without
success. In some mysterious way she
had been spirited away without leav-
ing trace. We found her Mexican
pony on the side of mountain, but it
had evidently been straying ever since
the horrible night that Winnie was
taken from its saddle. And we found
the horse Malliauki had ridden. But
that was all. Day after day search
ing parties went out, but returned at
night, crestfallen and unsuccessful.
"Tom" said my uncle one day,
'the American League has a meeting
tonight. I promised Dole 1 would
be there. Thipgs are growing warmer.
Something must be done soon. We
had better 60"
Eyes, let us 60" replied. eff we
can assist in overturning the accursed
conditions existing here, let us do it.
II the power of the queens party coulo
be broken, l am sure we could find
Winnie-if she is alive"
"I do not think she is dead" My
uncle's voice was broken as he spoke.
"These devils have a way of keeping
their victims long time. Few that ]
have known to be taken ever came
back. But this sort of thing was COM
mon years ago. And while we never
could learn what was done or what the
motive might be, there was always
something horrible about the fearful
condition of those who returned. As
I say, they were few. 1 knew of two
only in my life here. One was man,
who was shot by an unknown assassin
two days after he Heappeared, and the
other, woman, became insane"

eyes"
The Reception Hospital was an in.
stitution that filled me with sort oi
horror. 1t was used for one purpose
only, so Uncle Tom told me, on the
way to the League meeting. When
ever symptoms of leprosy, the curse OF
Hawaii, were seen in any person, great
or small. native or foreign, living on
Oahu, that person was forthwith hustled
to the Reception Hospital, where he
was held under the care of Doctor
Warren until the arrival of the 'leper
schooner" that was to take him to the
leper settlement on Molokai, an island
to the southeast of Oahu. This schooner
made the trip across Kaiwi Strait once
in every two weeks.
While held in the Reception Hospi-
tai, the lepers were understood to be
isolated from all mankind, but owing
to a criminal neglect on the part of the
government, this rule could not be en-
forced by Doctor Warren. The hos
pital opened at the rear into large in
closure, surrounned by high bamboo
fence. Into this inclosure the patients
could so at will, and converse with

CABINET MEETS FRIDAY.

London, Oct. 10-The cabinet has been
summoned to meet at the foreign office

The utimatum of tie Transvaal govern
ment is naturally the absorbing topic Of
conversation at the clubs and in political
circles Tonight There was no aDparent

was expressed that the Boor had made a

ties of the adjacent factories and made

train came to u stop the admiral appeared
on tho platform. There was rush for the
car that even the police could not rcprcss.
out of the throng appeared the face OF n
young girl. In her hand was an envelope
and on the envelope was the name of the
admiral In the crush she lost her hat
but she did not seem TO notice it. The
lnotc was taken by the admiral. The girl
EXTENDED her hand. The train was pull

the entire party stood waiting for tn aC-

he was again in his State after an absence
Of little over five years.
Suddenly Mr.. McKeeNer raised his hat,
the car resounded with cheer and the
admiral with bowed head arose and gazed
l'out Of the window. When he faced the
company again tears stood in his eyes and
mis- voice was husky.

Then. turning to the window again his
eyes still dimmed with the tears that
would come. he stood looking at the pano-

pany silently withdrew.
