But Graeme proposed that he should
give the hornDipe again, and the floor
was cleared at once, for NiXon's horn
pipe was very popular and tonight, of
course, was in high favor In the midst
of his dance Nixon stopped short; his
arms dropped to his sides; his face
had a look Of fear, of horror.
There, before him, in his riding cloak
and boots, with his whip in his hand
as he had come from his ride, stood
Mr.. Craig. His face was pallid, and
his dark eyes were blazing with fierce
light. AS Nixon stopped, Craig step
his eyes round upon the circle, he said
in tones intense with scorn:

and, standing in the open center, CRIED

Then, grinding his teeth so that
heard them across the room, he added
with savage deliberation, If any man
lays a finger on me, Ill-Tll eat his

He stood for a few moments glaring
round upon the company and then
strobe toward the bar, followed by the
crowd, wildly yelling. The ball was
forthwith broken up. l looked around
for Billy, but he was nowhere to be

''There's going to be something Of a

he said.
"Wkat are you going to do?'' asked.

Nixon in tow. Idaho is rather nasty,
he added, ''but think I'll take a hand

work before" ~
The scene was one quite strange to
me and was wild beyond description.

were passed from hand to hand, and
men drank their fill. Behind the re-

There was a dead silence, and Craig,

Idaho made a motion as if to stop
him, but Graeme stepped quickly for
ward and said sharply, make way
there, can't you?' and the crowd fell
back, and we four passed through,
Nixon walking as in a dream, with
Craig's arm about him. Down the
street we went in silence and on to
CraigS shack, where we found old
man Nelson, with the fire blazing and
strong coffee steaming on the stove. 1t
was he that had told Craig, on his ar
rival from the Landing, of Nixon's
fall.
There was nothing Of reproach, but
only gentlest pity, in tone and touch as
Craig placed the half drunk, dazed
man in his easy chair, took off his
boots, brought him his own slippers
and gave him coffee. Then, as his stu
por began to overcome him, Craig put
him in his own bed and came forth
with face written over with grief.
Don't mind, old chap" said Graeme
kindly.
But Craig looked at him without a
word and, throwing himself into a
chair, put his face in his hands. AS we
sat there in silence the door was sud-
denly pushed open, and in walked Abe
Baker, with the words, Where is Nix
on?' and we told him where he was.
We were still talking when again agtap
came to the door, and Shaw came in
looking much disturbed.
''Did you hear about Nixon?" he ash
ed. We told him what we knew.
''But did you hear how they got
him." he asked excitedly.
AS he told us the tale the men stood
listening. with faces growing hard.
1t appeared that after the making of
the league the Black Rock hotel man
had bet Idaho hundred to fifty that
Nixon could not be got to drink before
Easter. All Idaho's schemes had failed,
and now he had only three days in
which to win his money, and the ball
was his last chance Here, again, hei

treaties, barred his shack door and

| the other was a table with refresh
ments, where the soft drinks might be
had. Those who wanted anything else
[ might pass through a short passage
into the bar just behind.
This was evidently a superior kind Of
! ball, for the men kept on their coats
i and went through the various figures
| with faces Of unnatural solemnity, but
the strain upon their feelings was quite
apparent, and it became a question
how long it could be maintained. AS
the trips through the passageWay be-
came more frequent the dancing grew
in vigor and hilarity until by the time
supper was announced the stiffness
had sufficiently vanished to give no
further anxiety to the committee.
But the committee had other cause
for concern, inasmuch as after supper
certain of the miners appeared with
their coats off and proceeded to knock
the knots out of the floor in break
down dances of extraordinary energy.
These, however, were beguiled into the
barroom and filled up for safety, for
the committee were determined that
the responsibility of the ball should be
preserved to the end. Their reputation
was at stake not in Black Rock only,
but at the Landing as we'll, from which
most Of the ladies had come, and to be
shamed in the presence of the Landing
people could not be borne. Their diff
culties seemed to be increasing, for at
this point something seemed to go
wrong with the orchestra. The cello
appeared to be wandering aimlessly up
and down the scale, occasionally pick
ing up with the tune with animation
and then dropping it. AS Billy saw me
approaching he drew himself up with
great solemnity, gravely winked at me
and said:
''Shlipped a cog, Misther Conner!

And he wagged his little head sagely,

thought chiefly of the beautiful, eager
face that leaned toward him the night

voice that said, You'll sign with me,

deed to make him lose his grip Of life
and hope, for this is what the pledge
meant to him.

NEW Ira IN
ROAD WORK
Saving ofOne.haIf
BY Machinery's
Use.

The arrival Of road machinery by the
Alameda marks new era in road
building in Hawaii, and one which it
is expected will reduce the expenditures
in road construction OF the Public
Works Department by at least one-half
and possibly two-thirds.
The machinery consisting of a grader
and roller will be forwarded to Kauai
Immediately. This shipment will be fol-
lowed at intervals by similar pieces OF
machinery which are to be sent to each
of the other islands. Altogether there
have been ordered a half dozen revers-
BILE graders of the most modern type,
and the same number of heavy rollers,
the total cost being in the neighborhood
of $1,000.
At present the dirt roads on this and
other islands are cared for entirely by
road gangs which use nothing but the
pick and shovel. Each heavy rain wash
es the road away and repairs are re-
quired after every heavy fall. This is
done by gangs of men, who simply
throw the earth into the places from
which ii has been washed away
making the road as near as pos
sible as it was before the rain storm.
This process was not only crude, but
expensive the first cost of the road be-
ing expended many times over during
the course of a year in keeping ii in
repair. The eartn was thrown loosely
on the road and not packed so that
every rain storm made a repetition of
the work necessary.
The new machinery which has been
ordered by the Public Works Depart
ment will greatly cheaper the cost of
keeping the dirt roads in good shape
as well as the original cost of the con-
struction. 1t is estimated that the cost
with the new and up-to-date machinery
will be less than one-half the expendi-
lures now required on the various ISL
ands The graders are especially adapt
ed for work upon country roads, and
can be so adjusted to make whatever
formation is desired. All the roads
here are crowned, sloping gradually on
each side in order to allow the water
to run off. After that has been done
the roller Is brought into play and the
earth packed and hardened. Four horse
power is required for the operation of
the machinery, purchased by the Public
Works Department, but all of it can be
easily handled on the roads already es-
tablished on the various islands.
The remainder of the order will it is
expected be filled by the first of the
| year. and the various island road
boards will then be able to handle any
sudden emergency which may arise by
reason of bad storm.
one grader and roller will be kept
on Oahu, while the remainder of the
machinery will be distributed on Ha-
wall, Maui and Molokai.

The Em press Of Japan

The present Empress of Japan, to the
great national grief is childless, the
crown prince being a son by one of the
secondary wives. He is popular
young fellow of twenty years of age,
and the crown princess is likewise
much loved For the emperor such a
personal feeling as affection is consid-
cred dsrespectful declares a CORE
spondent of the Springfield Republi-
CAM. He is set up on a pedestal and
venerated. This peculiar position has
proved one OF the great stumbling
blocks to Christian mission work. Con-
verts, in commc:. with all the japanese,
consider him their model Nor would
it be permitted to a missionary to dis
approve of the imperial character or
suggest that a more perfect model
would probably make a better Chris
tian. The birth of the crown princes
son was thought a very good omen,
for during the last two hundred years
no heir has been born to crown
prince, and the baby was a remarka-
bly, large child, weighing over five
pounds, which is unusually heavy for a
japanese infant. Shortly after his
birth, he was removed from the palace
of his parents and gwen detached
residence of his own in Toxic. In eV-
cry sense he is a national baby, as al
ready his own staff of trained nurses,
doctors, teachers, professors and guard
ians has been appointed and he is jeal-
ously guarded from his mothers infiu-

When Mr.. Cooke had completed his
statement he was questioned by Sena-
tor Burton as TO his judgment On the
propriety of the Territory maintaining
control of lands, Mr.. Cooke insisting
that he believed that the lands should
be so held. As general policy he ia
vored the government disposing of the
agricultural lands but wanted the
mountain lands held by the Territory
so that they might be leased for the
protection OF water rights. Senator
Burton insisted that he have an an
swer to his question as to the propriety
Of the government going out of the
land business and Mr.. Cooke said he
would be glad to see it so Yet for the
public good the Chamber recommended
the continuance of the present system.
Senator Burton asked If the control of
the lands was not desired here simply
for the political value, but Mr.. Cooke
said he never viewed II that way. Sem
ator Burton tried to press questions as
to the cost of administration of the
lands and as to the propriety of the
government being in business. Mr..
Cooke said he could not tell the cost OF
handling lands and that he thought
business conducted by good Republican
politicians was as we'll done as II han
died by business men. Mr. Cooke said
that he could not see that there was
any thing to be gained by change as

touch with conditions, which would be
impossible at great distances.

Gates that now and then science proved
costly to the visiting students. But the
batting results, two home runs, four two
baggers and eight single base hits for the
visitors. indicate that the Yale men
earned their victory by good work with the
stick.
However, even If Yale had not pounded
the ball all over the lot 1t Is doubtful
whether Georgetown could have won. Gar
van, formerly student in the Georgetown
Prep, pitched for Yale like seasoned pro-
fessional. He gave all his thought to max
ing the ball hard to hit, and with the Won
derful support of the men behind him had
the courage and the judgment to put the
ball over the plate whenever the situation
was critical. AS many of the best tossers
in the leagues have done, he failed to strike
out single man, but the Georgetown men
known all over the country as sluggers-
could connect with his delivery for only
four scattered hits and a decided scratch.
The Yale fielding was the stellar feature
of the contest 1t seemed impossible for
Georgetown to land the ball safely any
where. Once Apperious shot 1t on low
