Settles.

When the 1:30 p. m. train of the Oahu
Railway came into the depot yesterday
from Eva, an unusual incident occur

The instant the train slowed up the
Japanese was seen to take hold Of the
girl, who was evidently in charge Of
the Hawaiian woman, and he made a
dash down the platform and across the
plaza toward King street The child
screamed at the top of her voice, while
the Hawaiian woman stood still in her
tracks, seemingly without command of
her wits.
The passengers who had just arriv-
ed, together with the people waiting
about the depot, thought that an alb
duction was taking place, and the hue
and cry was raised. Mounted Police

depot, hearing the cry ana seeing the
rapidly moving figures Of the japanese
and the girl, he put spurs to his horse
and intercepted the little man from the
land of the ehrysanthemums.
He took him back to the depot plat
form, where the Hawaiian woman took
charge of the child, and the latter, all
though a japanese, chung to her as II
she were a mother. The Hawaiian
woman said her name was Mrs. Men
eses, and that year ago she had been
placed in charge of the girl by the Jap
anese. the latter explaining that his
wife had deserted him and his little
| girl, and that he wanted her to care
for it as mother. This much of her
story the officer heard, whereupon he
decided to send them all to the police
station, and allow the High Sheriff te
play the part of Solomon. All three
were taken TO the sheriff's office.
| Mrs. Meneses said that she had cared
for the child, clothed and fed her, SEM
her to school, but in all this time the

little one, although she said he ha6
been willing to pay 500 a year. o.
