A-$ herself to wandering life among
the islands of the Pacific. Wherever
the brown women of her race live and
love and suffer there she will go to
preach the doctrine of constancy.
Love one and live for one only is
her watchword.
Though love has been denied her,
Lily Luhupa will teach her sisters to
hold it as the dearest blessing on earth,
and not thing to be tossed aside like
a faded lei.
Three weeks ago Kealoha Makahi.
young Hawaiian fisherman. shot Maria
Kalamazoo because she had trifed with
his love- Over her dead body Kealoha
wrote q message of warning to all wo-
men who goad men to such crimes as
his. Then he put bullet through his
heart.
The news of this double tragedy
travelled quickly from Honolulu to Hilo,
the home of Lily Luhupa. She read his
dying statement and forthwith deter
mined to sound Kealoha's warning note
among the women of the tropical isles
dotting the broad Pacific.
Lily Luhupa loved Kealoha. though
she knew his heart was given to the
Indifferent Maria Kalamazoo. She be-
friended Maria, though the latter won
the love which she herself craved.
When Maria and Kealoha lay cold in
death, Lily Luhupa saw her LIES mis-
sion in their fate. She has resolutely
taken up the burden, though it forces
her to wander far from her native Hilo.
But her heart is set on warning all ma
tive women of the evil of deceiving
men as Maria deceived Kealoha.
Kealoha wrote his dying statement in
the honeyed language of the Hawaiians.
ITO the Whole World he heads this
remarkable letter, written with Death at
his elbow.
Maria Kalamazoo lies dead and my
soul will soon go TO join ners, whether
in heaven or hell. I write the story of
our unhappy death that others may be
warned by it. 1t was on May 25th that
Maria promised to be my wife. and my
heart was as a well of joy. But when
| the wedding day came she suddenly
| changed her mind. and my heart turned
to stone. Twice again did she make life
| glad by promising to marry me, but aft

one l loved but at Waianae she came

gan talking to me. but 1 did not answer

where 1 followed my trade of fishing
I left the train and got out. My loved
! one went back to Waialua. l lived alone
at this place keeping all my sorrows to
myself, although whether l slept or was
awake in the night or in the day and in
the rain and in the wind, or when the
sun was shining. or when the ffrefIies
were in the cane. I was always thinking
| of her and ever was she before me. I
| loved her more than any man ever loved
a woman, but she-though I thought I
understood giris-she humbugged me all
| the time in every way.
| About this time 1 began to think of
doing what now you know ] have done.

was only toying with me, making NE

| she grew tired again, 1 felt very badly.
Il wasn't right. 1t was sonlachjns, like a
fish nibbing at the bait and letting go

Some may say I am foolish to 90 this

But this is not for me. My love is

always, and 10 live with him in happi-
ness so that she will then be an orna-
ment to the home, like a hat that is fit
for the king to wear.
Listen, oh women. whether white or
brown, to Kealoha from whom the warm
blood will soon be flowing. Never trif1e

black deed that such triflng has caused
me to stain my soul with. l have had TO
do something that is not good. It must
be taken into consideration that the one

well educated and had lived with intelli-

have been put into her heart by the ka-

There is one woman in Hilo who will
