nephew, to ask me if he might have YOU"
I'll hope you don't object" Marcia
said, getting crimson.
i've got nothing to say against him, .
Miss Marticia said $50 far as I know,
he's pretty fair sort of man. But
what's bred in the bone is bound to
come out-by time he's 40 he may be
same as his aunt Lucindy-Tom. You're
all I've got in the world won't ever
agree to your marrying where you might
come to be grudged everything-even
the air you breathed.
Il don't want to marry Miss Lucindy-
Tom,' Marcia said, pouting Her aunt
laughed grimly. Anybody that did would
be a curiosity she said Marcia pre-
tended to pout more than ever, though a
smile lowered in her eyes. She dropped
them and half turned away as she said:
81 don't see what we are to do Aunt
Marty! We thought you would be our
friend and let us live with you. Miss
LucindyTom swears John shall never
take me there''
1t was her trump card. John and her
self had agreed merrily that all which
was needed to overcome inevitable OPP
position was to let each of the aunts
know that the other opposed their mar
riage. The two spinsters had been on
terms of intimate enmity for at least Is
years Their houses faced each other,
standing each abAx 100 yards back from
a broad beaten country road The road
was the boundary between the two farms,
which stretched in fiat fertile reaches
beyond and behind the houses. Originally
the houses had been nearly alike-white,
with green blinds, small front porches
and tall red outside chimneys.
That was in the days of the fathers.
The daughters had expressed differences,
in temperament largely by I means OF
paint Now the Warfeld house was a
violent yellowish drab with vermilion
trimmings; the Ewing house slate blue,
picked out on cornices and window fac
ings with deep buff. The Warfield Chin
neys remained intact, though smoke
rarely came from more than one of them
The Ewing house boosted furnace and
had bow windows in most of the old
chimney spaces. Miss Marticia had flow
ers in them all winter long-fowers which
she gave away with an open hand, al
though she might have sold them for
good money in town. The giving was
Ewing all over. 1t fretted Miss Lucindy-
Tom beyond measure. She was almos
tempted to pull down her chifnneys, be
comfortable, and raise flowers, too-bu
the shame of an open imitation was toe
great.
Still there had been constant passing
back and forth. Each housemistress felt
that she could not afford TO remain ignor-

Il don't mind just plain, ordinary
stinginess, " Miss Marticia said: 81 never
saw the good of it. but it may some
times be worth while. What l hate is
little mean stinginess, like Lucindy- Tom
Warfield's. / do believe that woman
would try to rise from the dead, if she
remembered in her coffin that she had
paid for half a cents worth of some
thing she hadn't got
Marcia, a softened copy, of Miss Mar
ticia, even to the name, flushed and turn
ed away her head. Miss Marticia ran on:
II saw her do the meanest little thing,
and the littlest mean thing She hired
old black Ben one spring to make a gar
den for her-you know he works Tor oO
cents day and found. He got done about
o'clock, and Lucindy-Tom made him take
up her beans and plant 'em over again
three times, just to make out the full
days work. She pretended to believe he
had put 'em first too deep, and afterward
too shallow. I felt real sorry for the
poor old niger"
Il dare say you gave him something
extra" Marcia interrupted, smiling faint
ly. Miss Marticia nodded: Il had to,
she said, Il couldn't let him think all
white folks were so mean. About Lu-
cindy-Tom though-strikes me the reason
she never misses Sunday at church is
she thinks she's paid for part of all the
sermons, and 'twould be wicked waste not
to go and hear en-

wicked and uncharitable, Marcia said

white slippers came. They are just what

Il say people can afford whatever
they've got the money to pay for, with

Marticia said: my father said so, too
I had just fitting out for my first big
party The dollar never went in his
pocket that was too big to be spent for
anything he wanted, or l wanted He be-
lieved as I believe, in putting his money
in the bank of happiness. LucindyTom
thinks she has got thousands to my
nothing-but / wouldn't swap with her
any day in the year"
Never mind about her, Marcia coaxed.

niece by the shoulders.

CAUSES OF THE DEATH OF THREE
PORTUGUESE.
White Hellebore With Alcohol and Su-
gar Was the Mixture-Silva Probably
Not Poisoned.

DR.. Shorey has found the poison that
killed the three Portuguese who drank
in the Silica place last week. 1t proves
to have been an ant poison. mixed with
alcohol and sugar and the compound
was probably used by Silva to sprinkle
his trees and keeps ants from doing
any destruction among them.
White Hellebore is the name of the
stuff Which Shorey's analysis discover
ed in the bottle of Intoxicating liquor
from which the three Portuguese drank
1t is a very deadly poison found in the
roots of herbs classified by botanists
as of the genus bellebOrus, of which
here are many kinds in the United
States.
Hellebore is used as ant poison by
dissolving some of it in alcohol and
adding sugar The alcohol acts as
dissolvent and the sugar makes it at
tractive to ants Old man Silva has
had several bottles of the poison in his
place.
The discovery of the poison in the
mixture that was so fatal to the mOur-
ners who gathered at Silva's bier, has
led to the conclusion that the old man
died a natural death. He must have
been aware of the nature of the stuff
in the bottles and unless he wanted to
commit suicide, of which there is no
evidence, he would not have taken any
of the liquor that killed his country
men.
The three men who were poisoned
fell victims to their appetites for in
toXicants. They drank of mixture
that was unfit for anything but insect
poison. 1t was simply alcohol or me-
thylated spirits with sugar and in
which a lot of hellebore had been dis
solved. This the mourners tippled
with, while they stood round the coffin
in which the old florists body lay and
their inordinate desire to get some in
toxicant into their stomachs cost three
of them their lives.
The inquests will be continued to-
morrow at 2 o'clock when many wit
nesses will gather to tell the coroner's
jury what they know about the cases.

THE ESCAPE OF McBRYDE PUMP
ENGINEER.
Caught in the Rising Tide He Climbs
Up Fly Wheel and Bucks Through
the Roof

Returning passengers from Kauai on
the w. G. Hall yesterday told of great
excitement on the garden island during
the heavy storm of last week. and a
thrilling escape from death of chief en-
gineer Burns of the McBryde pump, the
largest on the islands and said to be
1 the largest pump of it's kind in the
word. The pump was flooded a big
| cement wall being carried away and tine
engineer was Imprisoned in the rising
waters for time The damage. ii Is
said, Will exceed 100000
The pump was protected by cement
wall % feet high and about rs feet in
length. This wall began to give way
last Wednesday, and it soon became
evident that the whole pumping plant
was going to be flooded Most of those
in the buildings ran for safety but en-
gineer Burns staid to look after things
till the last moment. He and a native
were the last to leave. The native got
away, but Burns was cut off from es-
cape.
AS the water rose round him Burns
saw that the only way to get out was
through the roof. To remain meant
certain death as the water was rising
and would soon fill the place. He climb
ed up the fly wheel to a skylight and
broke the glass with a blow of his fist
cutting his hand in doing So He was
able to climb through the hole to safe
ty.
The pump was situated in low place
protected by cement walls, but the tre-
mendous rainfall proved too much for
the wall, and it gave way. Until the
water has been pumped out the damage
cannot be estimated

TUG IROQUOIS ORDERED TC
CRUISE AFTER sQUATTERs.
Believed That This Order Means the
Interior Department Lays Claim to
Public Lands of Territory.

That the government will lay claim
to the public lands, now held by the
territory is plainly indicated today ny an
order which was received by the COM
mandant of the naval station. 1t was
in quite a round about way that this
intention of the government came to
light for no official notification has
been made as yet to either the U. S.
Attorney or to Governor oDle.
This order was sent by the acting
secretary of the navy and directed that
the commander of the naval station
here order the commander of the ves-
sci at this station to make an annual
cruise of the Hawaiian islands for the
purpose of ascertaining if there were
any squatters on them. No reference
was made to the public lands or where
the naval command should search for
the squatters or what should be done
in case such inhabitants were located,
the order being of the briefest charac-
ter.
The receipt of such a communication
was big surprise to Captain Pond of
the Iroquois and although he studied
the matter over he could not come to
any definite conclusion of the real pur-
pose of the order. 1t was certainly evil
dent that the order intended that search
should be made for squatters but what
interest the navy department had in
SquatterS who bore no more relation to
it than a chimpanzee to the speed Of
a battleship, was more than he could
understand. Squatters came under the
jurisdiction of the interior department
and not the navy.
1t is understood however from those
intimately acquainted with the situa-
tion that the recent order was made
by the navy department at the request
of the interior department and grows
out of the action recently instituted by
u. S. Attorney Baird to secure possess
sion of the public lands for the Federal
government.
BY keeping a close watch over the
lands with the aid of the tug boat Iro-
quois the interior department officials
