THE MANDOLIN LESSON.
BY Elizabeth Seal Blakeley.

Rudolph Oswald was consid-
cred the finest mandolin teach
er in the city. so it was not sur
prising that almost every mo-
ment of the day found HIM oc.
cupied with the young ladies
anxious to become proficient in
the art of bringing forth sweet
sounds from this fascinating
little instrument.
Rudolph was a young man
possessing charming manners,
but the nervous gestures of his
slender hands plainly showed
their owners highly strung TEN
permanent.
Some of the ladies thought
more of their teacher than their
lessons, while he cared only for
his art.
One afternoon Rudolph was
instructing Miss Gertie Bliss.
while the sun came brightly
through the large open window,
almost warming into life the
gay roses sprinkled here and
there in the pattern of the car
pet. Miss Gertie was an at
tentive pupil, and her teacher
was absorbed in watching her
progress, so he did not hear Il
rap. He arose, slightly annoy,
ed, when interrupted by the en-
trance of an elderly woman.
who closed the doorIbut still
held the knob with a timid air
which i'll became her tall, an
gular frame and large, plain
features.
nave seat, madam SAID
Rudolph, Offering her a chair
and trying to conceal his irri-
liability at having been dis.
turbed. The woman thanked
him and walked across the
floor with a heavy tread, then
seated herself on the edge of
the proffered chair, a swarthy
red of embarrassment showing
through her dark skin.
do you wish to speak to me,
madam inquired Rudolph, his
graceful figure strongly con-

relieved, but insisted upon his
accepting what she had brought.
Every week she returned.
kept track of the time, and with
the same reluctance gave Ru.
dolph the money.
Miss Gertie once inquired
roguishly: rs that queer old
woman still taking lessons Of
you?"
Yes" Rudolph replied, with
a mixed expression of amuse.
ment and boredom; Il intend to
discontinue the instruction, for
she can never learn to play the
mandolin, or, for that matter,
a ny other instrument. She has
a bsolutely no ear for music. and
S ne nearly sets me distracted,
1T must try you dreadfully,"
Miss Gertie agreed.
Il imagine that she is also
very miserly. She takes out
huge silver time piece and
watches every minute, as if she
expected me to cheat her."
added Rudolph, in a disguised
tone. But let US drop the sub
ject and return to your lesson;
you are doing splendidly."

When Mrs. Keener next came
to Rudolph he began, in con,
ciliating fashion: MRS. Keen.
err, l am awfully sorry, but !
cannot conscientionsly continue
with you
She quickly raised her head
and looked him in the face with
hurt establishment. Then she
dropped her square chin on her
breast and fixed her eyes on the
roses in the carpet, but she did
not utter a word.
Il am sorry" Rudolph re-
peated, "but it is quite useless
for you to attempt music. You
have no ear; no ear whatever.
What am | to do? 1t is waste
of my time and your money. 1t
would be unfair for me to keep
this from you" He paused, an
noyed to think that he was
forced to express himself so
plainly.
Presently the woman arose
and replied. quietly: Gal |
right" That was all she said,
and when she left the room Ru-
dolph inwardly commented; II
suppose she is half pleased not
to pay out any more money"
He did not see her draw down
a heavy veil to conceal the
great tear drops glistening in
her dull, blue eyes. She hur-
ried along the street with shut
fling haste until she reached a
dilapidated two-story house and
raped at the door. She waited
patiently until it was opened
by a slovenly 3young woman
with several dirty children
clinging to her skirts.
"Oh, it only be you, Miss
Keener," said the young person
in whining tone of relief.
Eyes, l am home early. l
h ave some sewing to finish for
a lady who is going to the sea-
shore this week." Mrs. Keener
as she passed into
narrow hall and went up a
fight of worm-eaten stairs, but
so slowly she attracted the at
tention of the young woman,
who called out:

The GOLDEN SIDE.

There is many rest in the road of
life
If we only would stop to take it:
And many a tone from the better land
If the querulous heart would make it,
To the soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust meier
faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are
bright,
Though the winter storm prevalent.
Better hope, though the clouds hang

"You amt sick, be you?"

"Oh, no, no." was the hastv
response. "Only tired, little
tired" She hurriedly entered
the small room she called home.
1t contained three or four pieces
of old furniture. Everything
was clean, but no roses graced
the floor, and the sun could not
creep in through the one small
window facing brick wall on
ly three feet away.

| lin lessons" she repllSu.
Miss Gertie looked at her in
sur prise, and Rudolph glanced
at her large. bony hands before
replying: Thirty dollars for
20 lessons
$50 much as that" she said,
quickly, half rising as if to go,
hut she changed her mind and
seemed lost in some calculation;
then. raising her faded blue
eyes, she said: "All right; when
can l begin?" with so determin-
ed an air it gave her even a
more unpreposessing appear
ance.
Il am vey much engaged at
present, but you may come to-
morrow at this hour, if that
suits you"
Rudolph unconsciously be-
trayed in voice and manner a
nervous anxiety toJclose the in
terview.
She arose and walked to the
door, which he at once held
open. Again the ugly flush dis
figured her countenance, as she
nodded Il good day" and de-
parted.
Miss Gertie returned to her
mandolin with an amused eX-
preston, which was reflected in
Rudolph's face as he resumed
the lesson. but neither OF them
mentioned the woman.
The next day she arrived at
the appointed hour. clad in a
dress of a huge plaid pattern,
which was ludicrously unbecom-
ing and evidently much too
warm, for she wiped her per
spring face and neck with
handkerchief of generous size,
bordered with a band of red.
Have you ever had any in-
struction before this?" Rudolph
inquired.
"What?"
Did you ever take any les.
sons ON the mandolin"
mo, 1 never did"
when you are seated we
will commence them" said Ru-
dolph, thinking to himself: Il
wonder if her complexion means
apoplexy or whiskey?" which
was interrupted by her reply:
4 am ready" She arose so
hastily she overturned a chair
and then made a dive for it.
Rudolph did likewise. which ter
minated in their humping heads.
Then the woman took a seat
elsewhere, breathing heavily
and overcome with mortitica-
tlon. This did not last Elong,
as they were soon deeply en-
gagged with the lesson.
Rudolph had asked her name,
and she had told him that it
was Mrs. Keener." She had
also removed from her bosom
an open-faced silver watch and
laid it beside her on the table,
glancing at it from time to
time.
When Rudolph announced
that her hour was up she look
ed at her watch, as if to satisfy
herself that he was correct, then
she replaced it in her bosom,
straight tened her old-fashioned
bonn ct, arose and shook out her
skirts and began a vigorous
search among it's folds for her
pocket, which she ultimately !
found, and took from it a much

teur Orchestra was held last evening

ance being excellent and much enthu-
siasm being displayed in trying over

chestra have decided to play a pro-
gram of music next Thursday even
ing. April II, at the Kamehameha
School for the benefit of the pupils.
This innovation in the daily round of
school life will no doubt be highly APP
preciated by the pupils of both schools,
as 1t is understood that for this occa-
sion the pupils from the Girls School
will be asked to listen TO the music
II is possible that Wray Taylor will
take out with him two soloists, there
by providing a most interesting even
ing's enjoyment for the pupils. The
members of the orchestra will ,eave
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton hall next Thursday evening in a
large bus at 1880 o'clock sharp and
proceed to the kamehameha School

NEW ROYAL SCHOOL.
Money Asked for Now Building
Old is Dangerous.

At the meeting of the CoM missioners
of Public instruction yesterday, the
main topic of business was the discus
sion of plans for the erection OF a new
Royal School," to take the place OF
the old building which has been con-
demned by contractors and architects
as unsafe and dangerous TO life.
o. G.. Traphagen, the architect. made
a careful inspection of the old build
ing and in his report to Minister Mott
Smith declares that should a heavy
wind storm strike the school, or an
earthquake visit the island the struct-
.ure would crumble into a mass of ruins.
Upon receiving these reports the Min
lister began making estimates for new
school house. and these were passed up
on at yesterdays meeting of the Board.
Minister Mott-Smith brought the item
of $1,000 before the Council of State
yesterday afternoon and the same was
inserted in bill No. and Is now in the
hands of the Committee on Public In
Struction.
The history of the school dates far
back into the earliest educational work
of the Hawaiian Islands and IL is said
to have been the first English school
established in Honolulu. II was then
OF the grade OF the present High School.
One OF Minister Mott-Smith's argyll
ments in favoring of replacing the old
building with q new structure was its
antiquity.

Robertson Approves it.

A. G.. NJ Robertson writes to an
evening paper in defence of the lawyer
Court of Claims. The gist of his let
ter is in the following paragraphs:
The difference of opinion as TO the
composition of the Court arises from
two different ideas as to the purpose
for which the Court is established.
As | understand it the Government is
I'm favor of paying for losses that can
be shown TO have been caused by ille-
gal acts, either of omission or COM
mission on the part of the Health au-
thorities, but refuse to pay for the de-
struction of property by the Board OF
Health If the Board is shown to have
acted within it's legal authority.
The President therefore appointed
the Court OF Claims for the purpose of
deciding primarily whether according
to legal principles the Board of Health
has committed any Illegal acts or gone
beyond it's authority in destroying
property in its endeavors to suppress
the plague epidemic. If the Board has
done only what ii was legally justified
in doing the Government admits no
obligation to pay.
The question as to the Boards rights
and authority is a question OF law
and that being the principal question
to be submitted to the Court OF
| Claims, the President very properly
composed the Court of lawyers.
| Ii would be absurd TO submit an i'm
portant question OF law to the decision
of a Court composed, even partially

IN. B.-The claimant, if his petition
be for damages for the destruction of
the building, shall insert in the blank
space the name of the owner of the
land upon which it stood at the time
OF its destruction; when and upon
what consideration claimant became
interested therein.
The members OF the Court say that
fairly intelligent claimant will not
need the services of lawyer TO make
out and file his claim. Perhaps in the
introduction of oral evidence he will
require an attorney, but the Court is
inclined to believe that the majority of
claimants will escape without paying
egal fees
