to be humorous, and this is about as
near as ne ever comes to it. He
thinks he's doing pretty well, though,
and he really is-for him.
He felt Disguised with the whole
thing, and he was still more disgust
ed when Sparks went around with a
handkerchief in his hand, begging the
other fellows to wipe an imaginary
black spot off his nose. This request
was always granted, and for a time
ii was quite the usual thing for the
men to pull out pocket mirrors and
handkerchiefs and rub their own
noses when Dawley approached them
Still, nobody could have guessed how
the proceedings exasperated the
young man from his manner. and the
joke naturally died at last.
If at first he decided that Miss
DiXon's action was somewhat indeli-
cate he changed his mind about it
afterward. 1t might have been in
anybody else, but she was too en-
tirely child of nature, tempered
with Chicago, that it seemed on con-
sideration almost proper. A day sell
dom passed that he did not 90 up
to her desk to talk TO her, and he
found himself very much amused by
her artless chatter. He felt that he
was unbending. He occasionally
hurled Babylonic bricks at her and
was not in the least offended when
she told him that his language was
'sferce" and desired him to come
down to where she could reach him
without standing on tiptoe and rip
ping the seams in her sleeves. He

house with whom he was on intimate
terms, that 1.-The little girl was SIM

"Oh, WE'LL" replied Dawley, tolerant

about her ma and her pa, and the way
she called down young lady friend of
hers about something the young lady
friend had said about her to another

mass. When he got through pre-
pairing the paper pulp it was as hard
as steel, but very brittle. Neverthe-
less, by the exercise of great care,
he was able to carve out the wheels,

ley. ''Oh, of course, jolly her once
in awhile, but she knows how to take
that guess she does.'
When Dawley began to think it over
he was not so sure whether Miss Dixon
knew how to take him. He had occa-
sionally made protestations of an
ardent and consuming passion. He
had called her Emmeline for some time
when they were alone, but she had
laughed at him and he had supposed
that she had understood perfectly well
that he was not in earnest. He was,
in the main, right-minded young
man, and, recalling the fable of the
boy and the frogs, he reflected that
what was sport to him might be death
to her. He decided that he would keep
himself steadily to the lace depart
ment and away from Miss Dixon's
desk. He did so for about week and.
then, yielding to a feeling of curiosity,
he went over and found her chatting
in very animated fashion with Sparks
and showing no sign of mental an
guish.
He felt irritated, and vaguely I'M

for. At the end of the week he con-
cluded that as the young woman was
evidently in no danger of misplacing
her affections he might as well go back
and talk to her. He went.
She was not busy and as he ap-
preached she looked up at him with
the old bright smile and familiar nod.

Miss Helen Gould Tells of What the

Miss Helen Miller Gould has. in a
modest way, entered the literary

pen on subject known to be close
to her heart, THE Saving of the Sol
der and the Sailor" In it she tells.
In simple, practical way, of the
work that the women's auxiliary in
tends to do in the new shore home
for the jolly jack tar, which is near
1ng completion just outside of the
Brooklyn navy yard, and into which
Miss Gould has cheerfully put about
100000. She invites the co-opera ton
of patriotic American women in help
ing along the good work. Miss Gould
says:
Nowhere in the range of uplifting
activities does there exist a better
heId for usefulness than in the i'm
provement of the social surroundings
of the enlisted men of the army and
navy. This is the semi-patriotic work
in which the ladies of the women's
auxiliary of the international com
mittee of the Young Women's Chris
tian association have been engaged
since 1899"

senator has been associated with

REPLY TO REQUEST FOR

Insist on Employing Native Ian

of Organic Act.

Honolulu, via San Francisco, May
15.-The republican members of the
legislature and the members of the
central committee in secret and joint
caucus have enaorsed the act of Gov
ernor Dole in refusing to extend the
session of the legislature after the
adoption of the home rule resolution
of last week.
me republicans have prepared a re-
ply to the memorial making charges
against the governor and asking for
his removal and declaring him to be
responsible for the failure of the leg
islature to transact any amount Of
business The reply will be taken to
Washington by Samuel Parkes.
The reply states that the home rule
party having complete control OF the
legislature blocks every effort at sub
stantial legislation; that bills were SO
illegally put together tnat it was i'm
possible to do anything with them,
and tnat the home rule party were
continually haml cred with petty jeal-
ousy and that their party chickering's.
caused the president of the senate
himself a member of the home rule
party, to resign in Glsgust.
The reply further states that one of
the causes of failure OF the members
of the home rule party to attain their
objects and which prevented the leg
islature from accomplishing more,
was the insistence by .-.e home rule
members upon the use of the Hawai-
ian -anguage in Che legislative pro-
ceedings, Notwithstanding the organic
act provides that "all legislative pro-
ceedings shall be conducted in the
English language They elected in
terpreters and required Interpretation
of all bills, resolutions, motions and
debates.
The reply admits lack of harmony
between the legislature and the COVER
nor but states that the legislature did
not deal with the governor in a broad
spirit and that past influences were
permitted to interfere with proceed
ings Of the legislature. Continuing,
the reply says
'In refusing to extend the session of

counting cash, previous to a meeting

When assistance came he was lying

near him and the money was scattered

had returned the fire. Although the
bank is in the heart of the city, men
could have entered and escaped by the
rear. The police have been unable
to find any trace of the thieves, and
the bank officers are counting the
cash to ascertain if any is missing.
