Both Parties split and Majority
Party Gone to Pieces.
Honolulu. April 2, via san Francisco,
May 5.--The Star says;
"The home rule is dead according to
the statements of its former most ardent
supporters. There is no party whip. no
leadership. nor organiza ton.
"The legislative sessions began with a
solid home rule majority of more than
two-thirds in the House aud almost that
much in the Senate, but votes taken at
the present time show only a few home
rulers are hanging together as such. The
Republicans also have split on various
questions, and the present situation in the
Legislature is one in which party divisions
seldom occur"
As to the breaking of the heavy ma =
jority of the home rule in the House the

CHAPTER XVIII.

From one Of the luxuriously furnished
chambers of her fathers elegant mansion
Jenny Lincoln looked mournfully out up
on the thick, angry clouds which, the live
long day, had obscured the winter sky.
Dreamily for while she listened to the
patter of the rain as it fell upon the de-
serted pavement below, and then, with
long, deep sigh she turned away and
wept. Poor Jenny the day was rainy
and dark and dreary, but darker far were
the shadows stealing over her pathway.
Turn which way she would there was not
one ray of sunshine which even her buoy
ant spirits could gather from the sur
rounding gloom. Her only sister was
slowly but surely dying, aud when Jenny
thought of this she felt that If Rose could
only live she'd try and bear the rest; try
to forget how much she loved William
Bender who that morning had honorably
and manfully asked her of her parents,
and been spurned with contempt-not by
her father, for could he have followed
the dictates of his better judgment he
would willingly have given his daughter
to the care of one who he knew would
carefully shield her from the storms of
life. 1t was not he, but the cold, proud
snlother, who so haughtily refused viii

underbAnd means to win her daughter

stony-hearted woman, when Jenny knelt
at her feet and pleaded for her to take
back the words she had spoken. II had
rather see you dead than married to such
as he. | mean what | have said, and you
will never be his
Jenny knew William too well to think
he would ever sanction an act of disobe-
dience to her mother, and her heart grew
faint and her eyes grew dim with tears,
as she thought of eonquering the love
which had grown with her growth and
strengthened with her strength. There
was another reason, too, why Jenny
should weep as she sat alone in her room.
From her father she had heard of all that
was TO happen. The Injuries TO which all
her life she had been accustomed were
to be hers no longer The pleasant coun-
try house in Chieopee, dearer far than
her city home must be sold, and no
where in the wide world was there a
place for them to rest.
Mr. Lincoln entered his daughters
room. and bending affectionately over her
pillow said, How is my darling to-day Z"
Better, better-almost well,' returned
Rose. raising herself in bed to prove what
she had said. II shall be out In a few
days, and then you'll buy me one Of those

thought was buslly at work. He could
not bestir himself; he had no energy for
that now; but he could marry Ella Camp
bell, whose wealth would keep him In
the position be now occupied. besides
supplying many of Roses wants.
Cursing the fate which had reduced
him to such an extremity, toward the
dusk of evening Henry started for Mrs.
Campbell's. Lights were burning in the
parlor and as the curtains were drawn
back he could see through the partially
opened shutter that Ella was alone. Re
clning in a large sofa chair, she sat,
leaning upon her elbow, the soft eurls OF
her brown hair falling over her white
arm, which the full blue cashmere sleeve
exposed to view. She seemed deeply
engaged in thought and never before had
she looked so lovely to Henry, who as
he gazed upon her felt glow of pride in
thinking that fair young girl could be his
for the asking.
and so my little pet is Alone said
he coming forward, and raising to his
lips the dainty fingers which Ella extend
ed toward him. Il hope the old aunty is
out" he continued, "for | want to see
you on special business"
Ella noticed how excited he appeared.
and always on the alert for something
when he was with her, she began to
tremble and without knowing what she
said asked him what he wanted of herr
"Zounds!" thought Henry, "she meets
me more than half way" and then, lest
his resolution should fail, he reseated her
In the chair she had left, and drawing an
ottoman to her side hastily told her of
his love, ending his declaration by saying
that from the first time he saw her he
had determined that she should be his
wife! And Ella, wholly deceived allow
ed her head to droop upon his shoulder,
while she whispered to him her answer.
Thus they were betrothed-Henry Lin
coin and Ella Campbell.
"Glad am l to be out OF that atmos-
phere," thought the newly engaged young
man, as he reached the open air, and be-
gan to breathe more freely. Goodness
me, won't | lead glorious life? Now.
If she'd only hung back a little-but no,
she said yes before fairly got the words
out; but money coyereth a multitude of
sns-I beg your pardon, man'am,' said
he quickly. as he became conscious of
having rudely jostled young lady, who
was turning the corner.
Looking up, he met Mary Howard $
large dark eyes fixed rather inquiringly
upon him. She was accompanied by one
of Mr.. Selden's servants, and he felt
sure she was going to visit her sister. OF
course, Ella would tell her all, and what
must Mary think of one who could SO
soon repeat his VOWS of love to another
In all the world there was not an indi-
vidual for whose good opinion Henry Lin
coin cared one-half so much as for Mary
Howard's; and the thought that he
should now surely lose it maddened him.
The resolution of the morning was for
gotten, and that night a fond father
watched and wept over his inebriate son.

deserves the name which she gives him
IN Scrlbner's Magazine, "A Little Saw
age Gentleman" And yet he did tell
one lie, but it was under circumstances
which made it easy to forgive him.
Mrs. Strong had given the boy two
large ship biscuits one morning, but in
stead of eating them he asked leave to
carry them home, for he served his
adopted mother by day and his own
mother by night.
Eat Them" she said, land l will give
you more"
Before leaving that night" she re-
cords, "he came to remind me of this.
l was swinging in a hammock, reading,
when Pola came to kiss my hand and
bid me goodnight,
"'Love, | said, 'Talofa.'

cut me to the heart that he should lie
to me-"
Indeed, it was a tragic moment; for
the child, too, although he repressed
his tears, was evidently suffering. But
Mrs. Strong's tact was equal to the oc-
casion. She uttered no further re-
proach, but simply promised the two
biscuits if he would explain why he
had lied for them.
""Teuila' (his name for Mrs. Strong),
he cried, anxiously, L love you! would
not pain your heart for all the world.
But they are starving in the village.
My father, the chief, divides the food
so that each child and old person and
all shall share alike; and to-day there
was only green baked bananas, two
each, and tonight when l return there
will be again division of one for each
member of the village. 1t seems hard

sisters and the good Tuman' (his moth

thought | would say to you, Behold, l
have eaten the two biscuits" and then
you would give me two more, and that
would be enough for one each to my
two sisters and Tuman and my brother

1t was all true. There was famine in
the village, but the Samoans were too
proud to mention 1t; and only through
little Pola's disclosure was it discovered
and relieved.
