the young woman. She took his seat,
and across the bridge the woman sit

youth at once sat down. The colored
man, standing opposite. glared again
but said nothing. At the next corner
came aboard a stout. dusky washer

loud tone had been telling his fair

three terrible ruffians: twill you

heroic youth hesitate. Then. meek

lican:
Sir:-In the course OF an article
which appeared in your paper this
morning. dealing with the liquor IN
terests in this city. | notice state
ment concerning the bars Of the Ha-
waiian Hotel and Annex. which Is
somewhat misleading; and believing
that you have no desire to create an
erroneous impression. and that you
have not fully appreciated the facts,
| request permission TO say a few
words through your columns by way
of explanation Without entering into
a discussion of the points raised in
your article. would say that the
stocks carried at these bars are at all
times comparatively small. and gem
orally represent the probable con-
sumption for the ensuing few days.
There is never a large stock Of liquor
on hand, as the requirements are sup
piled from day to day from the whole
sale importing house. The value OF
the stock Of wines and liquors on
which taxes were paid as Of the LIST OF
January. 1900. 1868 as indicated by
you. was the value of the stock on
hand on that particular day. and II Is
approximately the value of what will
usually be found there. There is no
object in keeping a large stock on
hand. as the insurance rates on hotel
buildings are high. and the stock can
always be replenished on short notice
Such is the practice at the Hawaiian
Hotel. and I understand that il is the
custom OF the trade generally in this
city.
trust II will be apparent from what
I have said that the amount OF taxa
ton on liquors in stock at the Ha-
waiian Hotel is not unreasonable.
though it might appear so in the abb
sence OF the above explanation.
Yours truly,

There was silence; no one ventur-
ed a dissent, no one so much as made
gesture Of disapproval. Then Mr..
Sutherland struggled to his feet. cast
one last look around him and disap-
peared through door which had open
ed like magic before him. Then and
! not till then did Frederick move for

The moment was intense. The coro-
ner seemed to share the universal eX-
citement, for his first question was a
leading one and brought out this star
ting admissions:
II have obtruded myself into this in
quiry and now ask to be heard by this

1t was more, infinitely more, than
any one there had expected. 1t was
not only an acknowledgment. but a
confession, and the shock, the surprise,
the alarm even. which it occasioned
even to those who had never had much
confidence in this young mans virtue,
: was almost appalling in its intensity.

of Mr. Sutherland's near presence the

To Frederick it was a moment of i'm

subdued murmurs and open cries he
read instant and complete condemna

been so worthy Of their esteem and

way to break the charm of his own
dread and end forever the effects of
the intolerable fascination that was
working upon him. Next minute the
last stroke rang out and the hour was
up which Amabel had set as the limit
of her silence.
A pause, which to their two hearts
if to no others. seemed strangely APP
propriate, followed the cessation of
these sounds. then the witness was dis
missed. and Amabel, taking advan-
tage of the movement, was about to
lean toward Mr.. Courtney, when Fred
erick, leaping with bound to his feet,
drew all eyes toward himself with the
cry:
'Let me be put on my oath. l have
testimony to give of the utmost i'm
portance in this case"
The coroner was astounded; every
one was astounded. No one had ex-
pected anything from him and instinc-
lively every eye turned toward Anna
bel to see how she was affected by his
action
Strangely, evidently, for the look
with which she settled back in her seat
was one which no one who saw it ever
forgot, though it conveyed no hint of
her real feelings, which were some
what chaotic.
Frederick, who had forgotten her,
now that he had made up his mind to
speak, waited for the coroner's reply.
IF you have testimony" said that
gentleman, after exchanging few hur-
ried words with Mr.. Courtney and the
surprised Knapp, you can do no bet
ter than give it to us at once Mr..

With a noble air from which all
hesitation had vanished, Frederick

made application for the approval Of
its plans for construction of a line from
Alexander street to Waikiki road and
out that thoroughfare to Waikiki, as
was stated enormously in the afternoon
papers of yesterday. The facts are en-
tirely at variance. The property-own-
ers have all signed the petition and the
government has approved the extension
from Wilder avenue through AleXan-
der street, Beretania street and McCul-
ly street and the extension of the same,
to the Waikiki road, reaching it at a
point opposite the house of Fred Har-
rison.

but without success. and he had finally
accepted Mr.. smiths reasons as dec.-

WANT MONEY FOR

Joseph G.. Pratt of the fire claims

reply:

Claims.

My Dear Pratt:-I have your favor of
November PC, also copy of petition to the
wyoming representatives in Congress
relative to desired appropriations for
settling fire claims arising out of efforts
to suppress the bubonic plague in Hono>
lulu in 1899. / will submit the peuton 10

delegate. Mr.. Wilcox, in trying to secure
the desired adjustments.
| note your reference to a successor to
Colonel Baird. General Van Orsdel
thought he wanted the position, and tho
Wyoming delegation in Congress, the bar
and the State officials generally, united
in his support. Later Van Orsdel con-
cluded that he did not wish the place,
and Bob Breckons became a candidate
Bob has secured very general endorse
ment in the State, and Senator Clark,
Representative Mondell and myself have
recommended his appointment to the
President. what the outcome will be l
cannot say at this time. 1t is possible
We may not be able to hold the place for
a Wyoming man, but IL we do, Breckons
Will get the position. With the assist
ance of his Wyoming acquaintance who
are now in Hawai-, he should be able to
maintain the fine record which Colonel
Baird has left as a legacy
The list of names on the petition comes
home to me with great force. They seem
very familiar, and it is very gratifying
That our State has such n creditable rep
reservation in the Paradise of the Pacific.
l Will be more than pleased to do what
j can to see that their wishes in this and
other matters are granted
With kind regards to Mrs. Pratt and all
