knew what was doing, so intense was
the strain was under. Yet I had a
horrible thought that was aiding
them to murder my sister. Whatever
hope had been aroused by Kaumai's
words, fed when she appeared and
canned the frenzy of the excited priests.
Kaumai, with high-priest on each
side of her, stood facing the lava lake,
and as here and there steam-jets would
.sppear, she bowed and exhorted Pele
to subdue the tumult and promised
that n sacrifice worthy of the goddess
would be made.
Nimolau and Patua the fisherman
withdrew.
While the fervor of the priests was
at It's highest. Nimolua, and Patua re-
appeared, carrying between them
burden wrapped in the black sacri-
fetal robe that had been thrown on
Winnie by the priest.
I sprang forward and seized kau.

"Womsn!" I cried. "Priestess!
Devil! Whatever You are, will you let
them murder my sister in cold blood!
Will you still believe the damnable
trash that told you was not true?
Speak the word that will save my
sister now"
A look of entreaty, blended with
fear, came into her face.
A high.priest took me- roughly by
the arm.
"You must not anger Pele, he said.
''The devil take Pele," I roared.
'EtAnd you, too! They are numbering
nay sister! Is there no God to pre-
vent this? Can it be that we are for
aakea by heaven and earth as well?"
Kaumai drew herself up in queenly
dignity, and motioned for the priest
TO take me aside.
Nimolau and Patua advanced with
their unconscious burden to the brink
of the lake. They poised the body OF
my poor sister, and waited.
"Pele," said Kaumai, with one
hand raised, eve send to you chosen
ono to become your servant in Halea-
-kaIa. This beautiful girl that comes
to you to-day has many friends, who
by this act will become followers and
worshipers of you. We pray you,
Pele, Goddess of Power, of Right, to
stay the fires under Kapatoli, and
saves US from the wrath of the violent
'zolcano,"
I shook with horror and fear as
these words, so utterly destroying
hope, came from the beautiful sorce-
ress.

DOWN In
SUSSEX.

Just at the present time it is in
teresting 10 note at the action of
the Republicans OF the lower count.
les. The Republicans OF New
Castle County want the State to be
in the hands Of the Republicans
and not 10 60 over bag and bag
gage to the Democrats. They
taught the republicans to kiss the
rod that whipped them. The
masses want one ticket. A class
wants rule or ruin. Men are to be
forced on the voters they do not
like. The Sussex Republican
voices the Sentiments OF the Regu-
lars and the man iu charge OF that
paper is Collector OF Port Houston.
Sussex County was divided two
years ago. The regulators this
year will not Join the Union party
because they prefer Democrats to
the ascendancy of Addicks. The
Sussex Republican to-day says:
1t becomes more and more ap-
parent as the campaign advances
that the rank and file OF the Union
Republican voters OF this county
want one ticket. Just at the pre-
sent time the Addicks leaders are
trying to fill them with the idea
that they can win out with two
tickets. just as they promised last
campaign. But most OF these voters
can remember last election aud
they can rccolect tha a few Of the
Add!cks leaders told them that
their ticket would win, and they
also remember that they did not
win. They know that this time
the control OF the county is at
stake and if a majority of the ten
County Commissioners are Demo
cratic. every constable. collector,
assessor and road overseer will he
a Democrat.
They know this and they do not
feel like taking any chances when
they know ehat these officers are
surely Republican if the Repub-
lcans agree upon one set OF candl-
dates. They cannot see the neces.
sity OF turning the whole county
over to the Democrats, just be-
cause one man AddIcks cannot be
elected toithe Senate. The Reg ular
Republicans are not worrying
about the matter because they leel
that the resp ,ibiIity does not
rest with them but with the Union
Republicans. They know that the
latter have all to gain and nothing
to lose by such an arrangement,
while they themselves will not be
injured, whatever be the outcome, ;,
as they have nothing to lose.
Their fight is against Addicks,
but they do not propose to permit
him to strengthen bis county organ
izatlon longer by their votes. They
are tired Of keeping the Unions in
power and being laughed at for their
pains. Where would Governor John
Hum, Caleb Il. Layton and George
". Marshall be at The present time
if it had not been for the Regular
Republican votes In this State. Now
they sit back and enjoy their four
year offices. and declare the Regular
Republicans who have two year Of
fees, shall not have four year like
themselves. This is game two can
play and the Regular Republicans
can stand it as long as the Unions.
Let the band play.

,, Giants and was hit hard.
Smith who hurt himself by run
ming against the grand stand on

after the third inning and jackson
was then sent to catch. Both teams
fielded WELL there being several SEN
sational plays.
Foreman pitched masterful
game for the locals. 1t was really
his first appearance here against a
good time, and what he did to the
Giants was more than plenty.
While he was touched for seven
hits they were scattered, for sum-
mary shows that not one run OF the
Giants were earned, while the bat
ting of the Wilmington A. A. put
five earned runs to their credit.
Two of the four errors made by
the home team were costly.

and the home team will be greatly
strengthened, for Jimmy" Kuhn
