How could meet my friend in the morn
ing? What could say to him? How could
we go on in the old way with this horror
lying between us?
At the last I must have fallen into an I'M
quiet sleep, for I heard nothing of the noise
OF the awakening camp. and it was already
broad daylight when Yusuf came to call
me to breakfast. As I drew back the tent
curtains a note pinned to the canvas f1ut-
tered to the ground 1t was from Roberts.
Somehow I seemed to have expected 1t, al
though did not realize 1t until saw it. 1t
was very brief. simply the repetition Of his
parting words Of the night before: Good
bye, and God bless you!
No one had seen him go; even the watch
man was, or pretended to be, in utter ig-
norance when questioned on the subject.
Quietly he had saddled his horse and stolen
away alone; but whether north, south, east
or west the sands of the travelled caravan
route gave no token and made no sign.
l never saw him again. l never expected
to. With the same unreasonng certainty l
knew that our way parted definitely at the
Ainel-Tibbeya. Months after had returned
home there came to me one day Calcutta
paper, bearing an indistinguishabe post
mark, and addressed In an entirely unfa-
miliar handwriting. Looking it carefully
through, 1 came upon single paragraph
surrounded by family traced lines, telling of
the sudden and mysterious disappearance
of an English or American gentleman from
one of the up-country stations of the East
Indian service. No names or particulars
were given. 1t might have been any one
OF the hundreds perhaps thousands OF
tourists, officers on hunting leave, scientists,
explorers, who dot the whole country. But
1 know that it was Roberts. Marin Lie S
wish was at last fulfilled, and her love had
at last its own. But what don't know is
this-who sent me that marked paper?

The Brave at Home.

The maid who binds her warriors sash,
With smile that well her pain dissembles
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles:
Though Heaven alone records the tear
Ana Fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed a drop as dear
As e'er believed the field Of glory!
The wife who girds her husbands sword
Mid little ones who weep or wonder
And bravely speaks the cheering word
What though her heart be rent asundeP
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts Of death around him rattle
Has shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field Of battle!
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her she presses
Then breathes few brave words and brief
kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood e'er the sod

Chesney to the coast. At that time 1t
was agreed that the sugar from the
plantations should go to the Spreckels
refinery, but ii was not the plan ac-
coTding to the adviCes here, that there
was to be taken any lien upon the pres
ent crop, for ii was the intention of the
directors of the company to have this
amount of sugar used for the purpose
of Securing the advances which must
be had to send the plantation along to
success.
While the negotiations are not off,
the people here are waiting for further
advices from the coast 1t Is hardly
believed the San Francisco refners
would wreck the plantation, yet the
money Will not be forthcoming unless
there is a settlement made, as the
banks and syndicate furnishing the
money will not buy a lawsuit.
The directors of the First National
bank with Mr.. =. N. Lilienthal, who Is
now here on pleasure trip, discussed
the matter yesterday, and while there
was perfect agreement as to the loan
it was decided that the bank would
hold onto its $50 900 and the syndicate
of coast men to their $40, 900 until the
way was again cleared. The desire to
loan the money is still in evidence.

KONA CASH TIGHT.

Just when every arrangement had
been perfected for the advance to the
Kona Sugar Company of $4,000, upon
an issue of bonds of the plantation
which would raise the amount of the
securities of the estate to $500, 900. the
unexpected happened yesterday, and
now there seems little chance OF a con-
summation of the deal within three
weeks.
The rock upon which the negotiations
split was a letter from Claus Spreckels,
through his attorney, w. NJ. Giffard.
which informed the bank that the su-
gar which is to be taken off the plan
tation this year could not be used as
collateral for the loan projected by the
bank and the syndicate, as 1t was to
be sent to the Western Refinery, and
that advances against it had been
made to the agents.
This phase OF the case put the mat
ter outside the limits of ordinary bank
ing, and the result was the temporary
suspension of the negotiations for the
loan. 1t is contended that the advance
was made not upon any notes of the
Kona Sugar Company. but as a credit
to the firm OF McChesney & Sons. 1t is
also alleged that Of the total of $50. 900
which Is due to Spreckels. 10 per cent
was embraced in an old account. The
remainder was advanced upon the oc-

Early in the evening the Waterman

station that a couple of suspicious
looking parties were asleep in freight

were dispatched to the depot to inves-

MERRY IS
ATTACKED.
Home Rulers Pass
Resolution at
Meeting.

LONE RULERS devoted the most
of the special meeting held last
night to discussing u resolution
which criticised Captain Merry, COM
mandant of the United States naval
station, for giving out building and
other contracts to the lowest bidder
whereby Asiatic labor was employed in
the construction work. The resolution
will so forward to Washington on the
Alameda.
The resolution in question was one
which has been on the taps for sew
eral days, and was presented last even
ing for general discussion. That 1t did
not quite fill the bill was manifest by
the length of the discussions spent up
on It. the meeting not adjourning until
about 10 o'clock. The result was
favorable vote on the resolution in an
amended form, with the direction that
copies be forwarded to Delegate Wilcox
and President Roosevelt. inasmuch as
lRooseVelt's name is mentioned therein
Mrs. Wilcox was present, as usual
but in attempting to hold the floor too
often, the ire of John Emmeluth was
aroused, and he called attention to the
fact that she had no right to take such
an active part in the proceedings of
the committee. She championed the
cause of Captain Merry. saying that
Captain Merry'S name should not be
mentioned i'm the resolution, but gave
no good reason why 1t should not be
made use of in that connection.
The resolution sets forth that the
Home Rulers do not favor the employ
ment of Asiatics upon public federal
works, but are unqualifedly of a mind
that none but American citizens should
be given employment. thereon. Presi-
dent Rooscvelt's attitude on American
citizens only being employed upon pub
lie works, is drawn upon as a basis for
the Home Rulers action.
During the discussion the action of
the Master Builders Association of
Honolulu on the question OF the en-
ployment of Asiatic labor on federal
works, as alleged to have been done
by Captain Merry, was brought into
considerable prominence.
Emmeluth talked on the organization
in the Fourth District, but as the
meeting had expended so much time
on the discussion of the resolution, the
talk did not amount to much.
BY the passage and publicity which
will be given to the resolution. the
Home Rulers hope to make campaign
capital cut of their attitude on the
labor question. and will use the vote on
the resolution as passed last night as
an indication OF their attitude toward
the horny-handed sons of toll.

car the couple offered a stubborn re-
sistance to the officers. Mulleitner, who
had a gun, scared his man into submis-
sion, but Naipo had a hard job with
his partner. When the man seemed on
the point of getting away the watch
man drew his gun and threatened to
shoot if the man did not refrain from
resisting the officer; in his other hand
he held a lantern.
Suddenly the man raised his hand
knocked the watchman's gun to the
ground, kicked the lantern and extin-
guished the light and made good his
escape. He left straw hat behind
him, which is in the hands of the po-
lice.
The man arrested gave his name as
Fred Smith. He is short, and his com
panon tall. They are suspected of
having held up a native on River
street a few nights ago, as their de-
scription answers that given by the
native.
About $50 o'clock last night tele-
phone message was received at the
police station that the servants quar-
ters of II. A. Jaeger's residence, near
King and Punchbowl streets had been
jewelry stolen. The place was ran
sacked. An officer was sent to the
house, but of course could find no clue
to the burglar.
Horace Bell was arrested on private
premises back of the Elite building last
night. A lot of household articles were
found In his possession.
All Poi was arrested about II o'clock
last night in Japanese store on Hotel
