BONES TELL A
TALE OF LOVE.

he was sent to the settlement on Molo-
kali He had a sweetheart, one whom
he had known for a. long time and who
loved him with the same strong affec-
ton which he had for her. She was
surprised and shocked when she found
he had been declared a leper, but, still
faithful in her love, she thought none
the less of him and longed to be with
him.
She wanted to be sent to the settle
ment on Molokai with him and prayed
the Board of Health for permission to
go to: the settlement. But the Board
of Health would not allow this. The
youth was so discouraged with life
when he found that he was to be part
ed from the one he loved forever that
he attempted to take his own life by
cutting his throat. But he did not die,
and some time afterwards recovered
from his terrible wound, in the hos
pital. When he was well again he
made his escape from the Kalihi re-
ceiving station and, evidently having
made arrangements with his sweet
heart, met her and the two fed to the
mountains together, where it is sup
posed that they killed themselves, pre-
ferring to die in each others arms to
existing without each others company
and affection.
The skeletons Recently found were
those of man and of a woman; they
were found lying near to each other,
face to face.
This man and this woman were the
only two natives who have been missed
from the community during the last
two years. The skeletons We're found
not far from where the lovers were last
seen. The mother of the young man
believes the male skeleto9 y be that
of her son. In fact all the indications
POINT to one conclusion and that is
that the two skeletons are all that re-
main of the young leper who escaped
from the law two years ago and whose
sweetheart loved him too we'll to live
without him. The records of the Kali
hi receiving station and the Board of
Health bear out many parts of
the above story. while others are
vouched for by those well acquainted
withgthe facts.
stranger romance has not been
brought to light in this city for a long
| time. 1t is said that several such Incl
dents, however, have occurred in these
IIslands in connection with the segre-
cation of lepers.

Scotch, Americans. Some of us slipped
away to see the ceremony preceding
the fire-walking. In the temple a crowd
was collected and in the chancel as 1
may call it for lack of another word. two
rows of priests sat facing one another.
Several were in robes of white silk. one
in blue and one in green The effect
was brilliant and made still more pic
turesque by the close fitting horse hair
caps, with long tails of the high priest
and his subordinates. After some NUT
tered inyocations the high priest turn
ed to cupboard-like shrine in one cor
ner of the chancel, where he burned
incense and performed other acts of de-
votion, apparently. Behind him. in two
long lines like flying wedge in foot
ball game knelt the other priests, now
Joined by two women of the temple
with reverent faces. The half-intoned
service was not unlike a Gregorian
chant and was accompanied by a con-
tinuous response from the congrega-
ton. Throughout the latter part we
stood in the doorway of one of the tenn
pie apartments opening out of the

vided for guests, oranges, tea (?-and

in response to thanks, the high priest
presented his card to one of the Wis

proceeding less easy than it sounds. as

Honolulu Woman Says That the
Skeleton is That Of
Her Son.

AIOT very long ago there was pub
IN l1Shed in the Advertiser a story
IN OF the discovery of two human
skeletons in a quarry back of the
Lunalilo Home on the mountain side
Many people read the story with the
interest which is usually attached to
such subjects, but there was one per-
son in Honolulu who read it with
deadly heartache and to whom the
facts We're as a revelation from the
dead.
The printed story answered a ques-
tion which had been in the mind of one
reader for over two years. A mother,
who, two years ago, had been parted
from her son and who had wondered
all the many days what had become of
him, saw in the columns of this paper
the answer to the question which had

Mrs. Kinimaka, Kamano Kinimaka,
who lives in this city, upon reading
of the finding of the two skeletons, ex-
claimed: "Auwe, auwe! they are the
skeletons of my boy and the girl he
loved"
Then the unhappy woman gave way
to her grief and let her mind wander
back to the days when she was wont
to have her boy with her. to love and
I be proud of. gs
Mrs. Kinimaka told Captain Parker
of the police department that she was

Vida upon gaining the steps observed
the smell of coal oil, and upon closer
investigation discovered that the steps

the house were saturated with the IN

the criminal had lighted was extln-
guished none too soon, for had 1t come

astonished and could give no clue
whatever as to the reason Wh1ch an
incendiary would have Tor attempting
to fire the house. He recognized In
stantIy that Vida's prompt action had
probably saved his and his family's
lives. The matter was reported to the
police station at once, and an off1cer
was detailed to guard the house for
the rest of the night. An empty bot

"A DASTARDLY attempt was made
M last night to burn the residence
'n of Fred w. Macfarlane at the
II corner of Beretania and Punahou
streets, at present occupied by Harry
Lewis and family. The quick action of
a policeman who caught the incendiary
in the very act of setting fire to the
place saved a great property loss and
in all probabilities averted a tragedy.
AS far as known the police have no
clue to the criminal. nor is there any
reason guessed at for his scoundrelly
deed.
The residence is one of the handsom-
est on Beretania street and sets well
back from the street, surrounded by
wealth of tropical foliage and shrub
berry which partially hides the lower
portion of the house from street view.
A great Danyan tree in the front yard
casts a deep shade over the entire
lawn, extending to the house itself.

mainland. William Haywood and fam
lily had occupied the residence for some
years. For the past ten days Mr.. Lewis

having just returned from an extended

Will Vida was on the Beretania street

the general appearance of the house,

seen. The man on the steps heard the
sounds of the approaching officer and,
dropping his light, turned and fed. In

TAHlTIAN KAHUNA
READY FOR TEST
Curious SaIanandcr Mystery as
Witnessed in

-StieF,STw VIII soon walk upon heated
il lava stones and prove to physi
clans, scientists, scoffers and to
all who may yet be skeptical that fire
has no terrors for him.
IA. II. Lewis, the Hawaiian, who
brought the aged Tahitian to Honolulu
several weeks ago, has in readiness the
hao wood and the peculiarly mottled
lava stones which are required for the
feat which the South Sea sorcerer will
undertake. The wood was difficult to
procure and much more expensive in
Hawaii than in Tahiti. The stones were
Ieasily found and Papa TIA pronounces
them perfect for the fire ordeal.
The principal question which has
bothered Mr.. Lewis is the place for tHn
exhibition. He has approached the
Territorial officials, one after another,
ard asked for the privilege of using
public lands in the burnt district or in
Aala park, but has been refused. He
next sought the Bishop Estate and
made them proposition, which will
be submitted to a meeting of the trus-
tees today.
1t is believed that the Bishop Estate
will accommodate the Tahitian and as
sist the exhibition, which is anxiously
awaited by the public. Numbers of
men of scientific turn of mind are
interested in the matter and may help
the Tahitian in placing his novel physi-
cal feat before the public without fur
ther vexatious delays.
The following concerning a similar
ordeal in Japan will be of peculiar in

Night Clerk Jack Kalakiela of the po-
