Hollister cast keen glance at the flask
and then laughed.

fellow, l don't keep that stuff where every

Halpin set down the flask, muttering an
oath. Without paying any further atten-
ton to the engineer, Holister proceeded to
address Colwin and myself.

From O'Clock in the afternoon TILL 10 In

but without result. Then we summoned an
ambulance from Bellevue Hospital and de-
1ivered the body into the care of sur

neer had taken some sort of poison in our
presence; that we did not know the nature
of it, and that we had done our best to re-
store him. AS 1 am a duly qualified physi-
clan the story passed inspection. l secured
a promise that nothing should be left UNI
done at the hospital and. indeed, the most
extraordinary and persistent efforts at re-
suscitation were there made, but vainly.
When we three were left alone HOLSTER
asked whether anything that we had seen
would deter us from the adventure which
he had planned. the nature of which was,
of course, quite clear. Believing that ne
had secured a drug which-as the unfor-
tunate Halpin had said-took the soul out
of the body, it was his intent that we at
tempt the mysteries of another world to-
gether.

he threw his cigar away; and, rising, filled

Colwin's eyes sparkled with eagerness,
but his body trembled with fear. He was
peculiarly sensitive to peril, yet he de-

nothing he possessed assumed value till

death that means the loss of all this world

Freaks In Fruit Growing.

From the Cleveland Leader.
A West Side fiat dweller recently ate a
nutmeg melon for his breakfast. He no.
t.ced that it had woody feeling in his
mouth and tasted of cocoanut. A series
of investigations followed the first one with
the fruit man, which led to a visit to a
freak fruit grower In the suburbs. The
popularity of the melon had stirred up all
Of the curiosity of the fiat dweller, and he
was resolved to follow the thing to its end.
This determination was strengthened by
the fact that few days previous he had
eaten another melon which tasted of ger
aniums.
On a little lot In the far South End there
is an aged German botanist, who has turned
his attention to fruit. He has good deal
of the art Of magician and some odd col
lections of fruit, including the nutmeg,
which. had been placed on the market. 1t
was grown by grating a sprig of nutmeg
vine into the small stem Of cocoanut palm
in q dollhouse.
Thi. Is the first time in history that
nutmeg melon ever grew on tree On
another vine, by peculiar combination,
nutmeg melons and geraniums were grow
ing side by side, the fruit and the bloom
being almost on the same stem. Peaches
were ripenng on rose bushes. and peonieS
were blooming on apple trees. The German
botenist explained this popularity by say
ing that there is a certain amount or poll
son ir all fruits, and he puts the different
poisons together to counterfeit each other.

NEW BRIDGE AT KALIHI.
Other Street improvements on Fa-
lama Side of the City.

Assistant Superintendent w. E. Row
ell of the Public Works Departme
together with Supervisor of Roads
Campbell, visited Kalihi yesterday to
look over the situation with reference
to the streets in that vicinity. They
decided to erect a new bridge across
the Kalihi stream, and work will COM
mence on 1t as soon as estimates and
plans can be drawn. The bridge will
be a fine one, built of stone and con-
crete, and will be as wide as the road
at that point. 1t will in all likelihood
cost in the neighborhood CT $1,000 or
$4,000. The present bridge is a little
wooden affair, entirely inadequate to
carry the traffic which crosses the
bridge.
The widening of King street in Pala-
ma was also looked over by Mr.. Rowell
and Mr.. Campbell. A stretch of ground
sixteen feet wide running from Liliuo-
kalanfs place to the Asylum road has
been donated by the Bishop Estate
Company, ard this will make King
street through that district the estab-
lished width.

IN THE SCHOOLS.
Another Room Prepared for Pupils
at Aala Warehouse.

To accommodate the large number of
children who are coming to the schools
it has been decided to make use of an
other room at the Aala warehouse.
-Four rooms have been heretofore used,
but the increase in attendance has
made 1t necessary to open a fifth. 1t
will accommodate about thirty five or
forty pupils, and will be ready fer oc-
cupancy on Monday, as the desks are
in place and the room is all furnished.
Older pupils at the Royal School will
be moved to the Aala warehouse to fill
the new room, and this will give great
er accommodation at the Royal School,
where the lack of room has been most
noticeable.
Reports from most of the schools
about the city show encouraging re-
turns. All are we'll attended. but so far
the principals have been able to accom-
modate all Corners.
