ADJUSTMENTS In Hawaii

The chief amusement for American
women now living in Hawaii must be
found in social lie, and hospitality in
entertainment is one OF the chief char
acteristics OF the place. In one home the
hostess is famous for her luncheons, and
the guests find on their arrival ham
mocks swung in the shady hooks, and
fruit and cooling drinks set forth in the
most attractive fashion. Mrs. Luther
Severance, one OF the leading women Of
Hilo, on the island of Hawaii, has beer
a prime mover in establishing the public
library in her city and was also one o.
.he organizers OF the Shakespeare class
there. 1t was at her home that Kate
Field was living prior to her fatal ride
across the lava field.

answered to the description given by
Mr.. Moss Locking the door as we en-
tered, he pushed the bed to one side,
and opened the trap. The air that met
us was damp and noisome and 1 in
voluntarily drew back. 1t was impossf-
bic that anyone could have lived twenty
two hours in it. For it is well known
scientific fact that expired air, besides
being short Of oxygen, is charged with
carbon dioxide, watery vapor and other
products, which no one can breathe for
any length Of time.

quite expecting to see figure stretched
dead or sensefess on the floor. But it
was too dark to see distinctly. except
just under the trap door. 1t would be
necessary to go down. Mr.. Moses Sc
cured the rope ladder and taking the
candle in onesshand I cautiously de-
scended, looking sharply all around But
there was nothing human to be seen.
It was a dirty place. and had appar-
emily not been used or cleaned for years
The floor had worn, away in parts and
was rotten and slippery, and the walls
were damp and Shiny, with discolored
blotches and fungus-like growths. There
was no ventilation of any kind, and the
air was almost poisonous. AS I careful
ly examined the walls to ascertain
whether there was not a, door or outlet Of
some kind concealed in them, which
might help to explain the mystery, I
suddenly caught sight of something that
made me stop short with sharp ex-
clamation.
On the soft, dirty white composition Of
The Saint Paul globe., 1901-12-15

which the walls consisted was the dis
tinct impression of hand, which must
have been made quite recently. It was
long and narrow and, though not very
large, 1t suggested a mans hand more
than woman's. The person to whom it
belonged must have pressed rather heav-
fly on the wall, for the markings of the
fingers and thumb were distinctly to be
seen in the yielding substance, particular
ly all the lines Of the thumb.
I took out my pocket knife, and, with
some difficulty I cut the impression of
the telltale hand. Then I climbed up the
rope ladder and breathed the fresh air
above with a sigh of relief.
'sWell?" Mr.. Moss said impatiently, "I
suppose you have discovered nothing?"
81 have not discovered the thief, but I
have found his mark" I replied. 'The
man to whom this hand belongs is the
man who has your diamonds
And I showed him the plaster cast. For
a moment he was speechless with amaze
ment, and stared at my find, as though it
were something supernatural.
"But I don't understand he exclaimed
What has become of him? How has he
vanished? Could anyone have lived down
there for a day and night?"
sQuite impossible" I said decidedly
ssHow the robbery was committed is a.
perfect mystery to me, and 1t Is Of no
use wasting my time over trying to ex-
plain it. Instead of that, shall direct
all my energies to finding the owner of
the hand.

One morning I received the following
note from the chief:
II should be very much obliged if you
would help an acquaintance of mine, who
does not wish to employ an ordinary de-
tective, in a search for some lost dia-
monds. 1t is out of your usual line,

and I thought you might be kind enough
to take the matter up, as you have moth

I could, in return for some valuable nelp
he once rendered me-

Moss called on me the same day.
1t did not need more than a casual
glance to see that Moss must have
originally been written Moses His
face and bearing showed his race. and
showed it in it's least pleasing form.
Though a comparatively young man, his
figure was full and heavy, his face coarse
but strong, with thick, noticeably red
lips, and bold, staring black eyes. Alto

pretty addition to one of the blue

CURIOUS CUCKOOS.

The cuckoo is generally known only
as bird with very monotonous note /:
a continuous cry of cuckoo, cuckoo :"
over and over again. Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo is known as a bird
that never builds nest for itself but
takes advantage of one already built by
some more industrious bird.
There is a good deal of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead OF
making a success of their own, seek to
profit BY the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor. It is so with those limitations of
DR.. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered. although those
who rnal<e the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised in some cases of woman,
woman, woman write to woman " makes
the resemblance TO the cuckoo even
stronger.
There is as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, and
none therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. 1t is certain that there is no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knowl-
