KOHALA PLANTERS PLANS
EFFORT TO UNITE THEM IN THE
HAWAII RAILROAD.
The Production of Sugar for the Past
Ten Years the Proposed Basis OF
United Interest.

The final transfer of the Hawaii Rail-
road from Wilder's Steamship Company
which has recently sold it, to the Ko-
hala planters who have bought It, is
not to be made for about a month yet
In the meanwhile efforts are being made
to unite all the Kohala planters in the
enterprise All but two plantations are
now practically in the deal. Those two
are Halawa and Union mills
The basis upon which it is proposed
to unite the planters in ownership and
management of the railroad is in pro-
portion to the their sugar production
for the past ten years Each planta-
ton is to take stock in the railroad in
proportion to the amount of sugar pro-
duced during the past ten years as a
basis for the probable amount of freight
each will furnish. In this way each
will share in the profits in proportion to
the amount of business furnished.
If the effort to get all the plantations
into the deal is successful it will mean
that the entire shipping interests of Ko-
hala will be consolidated a Mahukona
instead of being divided between that
port and Honoipu.
The destruction of the warehouses at
Honoipu by fire about six weeks ago.
has left the situation easier to handle
than it was before. For if this deal goes
through there will be no need to rebuild
those warehouses. Up to the present
only the power house for the cable land
ing at Honoipu has been rebuilt.
The proposed plan is along the line of
consolidation of interests for the pur-
pose of cheapening production, which
has been evidenced in various ways In
the sugar industry of the Islands during
the past year or so.

UNCLE BILL ON MANS coNcErT.


Being proud is one of the things that
flesh is heir to.
A man differs from postage stamp;
he isn't so stuck up when he's licked.
Pride comes after fall, If the high
diver doesn't hit the bottom Of the tank
too hard.
Some people who think they know it
all aren't worth as much as a ten-cent
cyclopaedia.
The man who is quote overbearing
isn't much better than a decayed apple

A man is like barrel; when his head
swells its a sign that the timber wasn't
properly seasoned.

Gun Fighting as II Science.

Gun fighting used to be an expert
science In the West" said visitor
from Texas. land men became skilled
in it, just as they might In any OF the
handicrafts. The great point was to
get quick action, and the fellow who
drew and fred first generally won the
fight. That fact led to all sorts OF
schemes for pulling a gun with the
least possible delay. One OF the easiest
was the shoulder holster which con-
sisted of a strap suspending the pistol
Just over the left breast. Carrying q
derringer In the pocket Of sack coat
and firing through the cloth without
drawing was a trick that cost many
man his life. At last 1t became diff
cult for a man with his hands In his
coat pocket to get near enough to q
victim to make sure of hitting him, and
a frontier genius invented variation.
He simply cut the right pocket out OF
an alpaca coat and carried his gun In
q. holster at his hip. Another trick
was to carry the pistol up the sleeve,
with the end of the barrel resting
against the half-bent palm."-New Or.

CHAPTER XII.

Bernard Selwyn had persuaded the
doctor and his family to go to the sea-
side. 1t was a treat which they had
never before enjoyed. and great was
their delight at the prospect. The
doctor, to whom holiday had hitherto
meant no more than the space Of time
between Friday and Tuesday. now
procured another doctor to do his work
for him and prepared for couple Of
months relaxation. They were very
happy Bernard, they all agreed. had
behaved remarkably we'll; he had
shown such thought and consideration.
He was not at all unduly elated at his
prosperity. and had done just the right
thing in making no radical change un-
til the will was proved and the tedious
law business completed.

One day, soon after she was left
alone. Mr.. Martineau called. His os-
tensible reason was to say that he was
going to Clarisdale the next day, and
he asked whether there was anything
he could do for her before he left.
She thought it was very kind OF him
to take SO much trouble, and thanked
him warmly. He stayed a long time,
and she gave him tea in the drawing
room, which was almost full OF those
lovely flowers. He bent to smell one

raising her head.

Quite by chance. She says he Is

she said, laughing. HE is so essen
TALLY society man"
Bernard saw that he had started an
unwelcome topic. He adroitly changed
the subject.
The water was the great feature OF
the Clarisdale estate. 1t was a beau
tiful irregular-shaped lake. with
small island in the middle. much used
for picnics. Bernard thought there
might be manysaworseS ways of~spend-
ing a summer afternoon than sculling
idly in the shade OF the great trees, on
the CLASSY surface OF the water, with
Lady Mildred's proud. sweet face be-
fore him, shaded by her wide-brimmed
hat.
A long silence fell upon both during
the latter part Of that row, and as they
walked slowly home together under a
saffron-colored evening sky they hard
ly spoke at all. Lady Mildred was
thinking that her companion. with
twenty thousand year to back him,
was more than endurable. Bernard
was wishing that Marguerite could
have the advantage OF a few lessons
in the art of dress from Lady Mildred
He wished so even more when her
ladyship walked into the drawing
room some time later. her clear-cut
face and plant figure set off by anne
thyst-colored plush. which caught the
light on all its ripping folds.
She was conscious, as she entered.
that she was looking at that moment
as beautiful as 1t was in her power to
look, but nothing in her perfect man
ners betrayed the thought. She
crossed the room slowly, purposely
stopping on the way to replace some
flowers which had fallen from vase.
AS she turned again, her glance fell
upon a gentleman who stood on the

slowly round. saw her, and at once
came forward. She moved not an
inch, but remained where she was. the
brilliantly lighted room bringing out
every point OF her beauty.
Their hands met, and in that mo-
ment she knew that he was changed.
He looked Ill and worn, but in her
eyes a thousandfold more lovable. His
greeting was cordial, but 1t lacked the
delightful tone of mutual understand
face for the wherefore, but found It
not.

she said.
Il arrived two or three hours ago.
They told me you were somewhere in
the grounds. so I went to look for
you--as far as the lakeside. Then I
came back; you were being we'll en-
tertained and did not want me-"
Lady Mildred's ebbing spirits came
rushing back in swift fow She
thought she had key now to his cold
greeting and worn appearance. 1t was
love Of her, she thought. which was
telling upon him: she had accom-
plished her object, she had made VAL
dane jealous.

Marguerite smiled.

There was no shaking her decision.
Her will was indomitable, and uncon-
sciously she influenced all. With
quiet tact she persuaded them all to
start without her, and lived on by
herself in the dull. close London
house, looking eagerly each day for
possible answer to the advertisement
which Bernard had inserted in the
West OF England newspapers.
Had Valdane Martineau known OF
that advertisement it would have oc-
casioned him some uneasiness. A
rather strange thing had occurred on
the morning the day after he paid his
visit to the Stellings' house. A box
Of exquisite, cut, dollhouse flowers had
arrived for Miss Lilbourne. No mes
sage or card accompanied them. and
Marguerite was thoroughly mystified.
Mary thought that Bernard had sent
them. but, on being written to on the
subject, he was obliged to disclaim
any knowledge of them. Each day ar
rived a fresh selection of choice and
delicate blossoms; they were brought
by a man from a floral depot, who
knew nothing OF the person who had
ordered them or anything about 1t.
Marguerite loved flowers and. left
alone in her glory, she grew to hail the

HORSE LIKED HER MILLINERY
Danger of wearing Oats for Hat Trim
mings ILLUSTRATED

An amusing incident was recently
witnessed In a Paris street. 1t Is the
mode now for French milliners to use
real oats for the trimming OF hats and
bonnets, the oats being colored with
various colors, according to require
ments OF the trade. A woman wearing
a hat abundantly trimmed with oats.
In order to get out Of the road Of a
rapidly driven cab, had placed herself
directly in front OF horse and cart
waiting at the curbstone. She had
her back turned to the animal, which.
after smiling the oats on her hat, APP
parently decided II would be a pastime
In accordance with his tastes to MUNICH
them. He was thus engaged when the
woman began TO move forward, quite
unaware OF the feast the horse was
enjoying. The animal. wishing to con-
tinue Its repast, put down its forefeet
on the skirt OF the woman's dress,
which gave her such n turn that she
tainted, and, falling. sustained some
injury, necessitating her removal to
a chemists shop. When she recov-
cred from her emotion and beheld the
wreck of her hat--purchased, so she af-
firmed, that very day-her distress and
indignation knew no bounds. She re-
turned to the spot where the incident
had happened, discovered the driver OF
the cart in a neighboring wineshop,
and taking his address, with that OF
his employer, intimated her intention
OF prosecuting to recover the value of
the damaged hat. The moral OF the
adventure is that ladies displaying
oats on the top of their heads should
beware OF coming In proximity with o
horses mouth.
