The Flag Goes Marching By.
Will Cummings had abandoned the
pen for the sword until such time as
Santa Anna should cry for quarter and
had left the office in charge of an i'm
ported substitute; but late that night
he came to his desk once more, to
write the story of the accident to Cor
poral Gray; and the tale that he wrote
had been already put into writing by
Tom Vanrevel as it fell from Crailey's
lips, after the doctor had come, so that
none might doubt it. No one did
doubt it, What reason had Mr.. Carewe
to injure Crailey Gray? Only five in
Rouen knew the truth; for Nelson had
gone with his master, and, except
Mamie, the other servants of the
Carewe household had been among
the crowd in front of the Rouen house
when the shot was fired.
So the story went over the town;
how Crailey had called to say good-by
to Mrs. Tanberry; how Mr.. Carewe
happened to be examining the musket
his father carried in 1912, when the
weapon was accidentally discharged,
the ball entering Craileys breast; how
Mr.. Carewe, stricken with remorse
and horror over this frightful misfor-
tune, and suffering too severe anguish
of mind to remain upon the scene of
the tragedy which his carelessness
had made, had fled, attended by his
servant; and how they had leaped
aboard the evening boat as it was
and fhair
way down the river
And this was the story, too, that
Tom told Franchon for it was he who
brought her to Crailey. Through the
long night she knelt at Crailey's side,
his hand always pressed to her breast
or cheek, her eyes always upward, and
her lips moving with her prayers. not

The morning sun rose upon a fall
world. gay with bird-chatterings from
the big trees of the Carewe place and
pleasant with the odors of Miss Betty's
garden, and Crailey, lying upon the
bed of the man who had shot him,
hearkened and smiled goodbye to the
summer he loved; and, when the day
broke, asked that the bed be moved
so that he might lie close by the win
dow. 1t was Tom who had borne him
to that room. Il have carried him
before this" he said, waving the
others aside.
Not long after sunrise. when the
bed had been moved near the window,
Crailey begged Franchon to bring him

had given her, and urged her to go for

1t was between twilight and candle

rustic lovers stroll with slow and
quiet steps down country lanes, and
old bachelors are loneliest and dream
of the things that might have been.

long, dark folds of her gown showed
family against the gray stone, and her
arms, bare from the elbow, lay across
the face of the dial with unrelaxed
fingers clenching the cornice; her

tension, her eyes half-closed, showing

She did not move, there was not

SYNOPSIS.
BY a singular chain Of circum-
stances Miss Betty Carewe has come
to confuse Tom Vanrevel and Crailey
Gray, believing each 10 be the other.
Miss Betty is the reigning belle of
Rouen. Indiana, in the days just pre-
ceding the Mexican War. Tom Van
revel is a young lawyer of Rouen, and
her fathers mortal foe. The two
men have Quarreled over politics and
also on personal mitter and old
Carewe has threatened to shoot Tom
should he ever find him on Carewe's
property. Tom has fallen desperately
in love with Miss Betty at first sight
Crailey Gray, lazy, generous, popular
talented. good-fOr-nothing, and poet Is
Toms law partner, and is engaged to
Miss Bareaud, but he too, as we'll as
Tom, has fallen under the spell OF
Miss Betty's beauty
Crailey is the first to discover Miss
Betty's mistake. Instead of undecelv-
ing her, he takes adroit advantage Of
the situation to make love to her in
the person of his friend. Old Car
ewes bitter denunciauon Of Vanrevel
naturally serve only further to raise
in Miss Betty's estimation, the gentle
man whom she suppOseS to be the sub
ject of them. Carewe leaves Rouen
on business. Mrs. Tanberry an old
friend Of the family, comes TO stay
with Miss Betty. For Nanrevel all
this while, Miss Betty has only con-
tempt. When he makes love to her at
a ball, she publicly and witheringly re-
Dukes him for what seems to her. his
infidelty to his fiancee, Miss Bareaud.
At length Vanrevel discovers his
friends perfdy, by opening a letter
addressed to him. but meant as he at

country 10 subdue his personal grief
in the task of recruiting a company
for the war which is about to be de-
clared. on his return Crailey con-
fessed all to him, but Tom refuses to
interfere to enlighten Miss Betty.
War is declared, and all the young
men of Rouen, CTailey included, pre-
pare to follow Tom to the front. On
the afternoon before the company
leaves Miss Betty, walking in the gar
den, is surprised by ragged urchin
with a note. The note is from Crailey
Gray, asking for chance to see her
once again and say good bye. Miss
Betty writes Yes upon the note,
naming the time and place. The ur-
chin is captured by old Carewe, who
reads the note, naming the time and
then sends him on to deliver it to
Crailey, or, as Carewe also supposes,
to Vanrevel, for to him, of course,
Miss Betty had addressed her reply.
Crailey appears at dusk at the garden
hedge, as Miss Betty directed, and as
a last deception, dressed in Toms
uniform. From a servant of the
Carewe's Tom learns of Crailey's
danger, but too late. When he arrives
at the house Crailey has been shot,
and Carewe has fled. Tom bends over
Crailey who is still alive, and whis-
pers his name. Then at last Miss
Betty understands.

THE CABLE.

Now that the new Commercial Pacific
cable TO HOnoluluI Ehas been completed
and is .ready for business it will be in
teresting to note what the practical eff
feet of such d channel of communica-
ton will be-, measured by it's influence
on commerce and trade interests. So
far as concerns the transmission of
messages to this country Hawaii has
been peculiarly isolated. In point of
fact we have been much more closely
in touch with the distant Philippines
than with the much nearer archipelago.
For all news of the outer world the
people of Honolulu had to wait the
slow process of oceanic mail service.
In a day when, any great happening
anywhere in Christendom is reported
almost simultaneously to the most re-
mote portions of the earth, Hawaii has
had to depend upon letters or newspa-
per reports sent by mail. 1t has been
fairly out of the world in this particu-
lar.
Undoubtedly it's own business inter-
ests and those dependent Upon Hawaii
an trade will profit directly by the OPP
portunity for immediate communica-
ton, and in general way from the
new influences which viii be set at
work by a change that brings the Ha-
waiians into touch with the nations
interest in the worlds affairs. 1t will
be interesting to see how far these in
fiuences make themselves shown in
the commercial upbuilding of Hawaiian
trade. While this country's importa-
tions from Hawaii are considerable
and, as shown by The Daily News Al
manac for 1903 took a sudden upward
bound after annexation from $40 707 SOB
in 1900 to $24, 200, 429 for the fiscal year
following, there is a much larger eX-
portation to the archipelago than is
generally supposed.
1t seems not unreasonable, to expect
that with closer contact, increased OPP
portunities and the consequent natural
stimulation of common interests and
common business activities the opening
of cable communication will have
marked effect. The experience of a
fairly large and reasonably prosperous
colony suddenly brought into full touch
with the outside world will be worth
watching, at all events.-Chicago News.

LAWYER HowEs METHOD.
Dramatic Effects the Famous Criminal
Attorney Made Use Of.

A group of men, including several
criminal lawyers, a few detectives,
some clerks, and one or two others.
stood in the big rotunda of the Grim
inal Courts building the other after
noon talking about the sudden death of
William F, Howe, the senior partner of
Howe & Hummell. One after another
passed some eulogy on the dead man
and then began to recall some incident
of his unique career of seventy-four
years. One told what a love the law
yer had for dress and jewelry; how he
always wore diamond cluster pins in
MS shirt front, some striking kind of
headgear, such as a blue yachting cap
or a lowtopped derby, coats heavy
with fur, and waistcoats of elaborate
design. Other stories illustrated Mr..
HoweS remarkable personality, his
ability to influence a jury. even in the
face of the strongest evidence, the
scope and range of his voice, which
would fluctuate from a low, sobbing
whisper, meant to stir the sympathy of
the jury, to roar of Indignation and
anger.
Yes" said one of the lawyers in
the group. Howe would have won as
great fame on the stage as he did at
the criminal bar" And then he told
the following story. ""f
1T was when John K. Hackett was
recorder, and Howe was counsel for a
man who had been charged with muir
der. OF course, the wife and children
were there, so that the jury could see
them to the best advantage. In the
midst OF the plea of the district attor-
ney, asking that the jury return a YER
dict of murder in the first degree the
baby, which was sitting on the knee Of
the prisoners wife, began to SOD as if
it's little heart would break. Finally
Recorder Hackett interrupted the dis
| trict attorney by shouting, so as to be
heard above the infants screams:
Stop that, if counsel fog defendant
pushes that pin deeper that baby will
do more than yell.'
Other such incidents we're called to
mind by different members of the
group. One told the story of how Mr..
Howe defended Ella Wilson, as anotn-
er example of the dramatic effec,
which the lawyer used with such a
measure of success. Ella Wilson, who
was charged with having shot the man
who had betrayed her, was seated next
to her counsel. In the middle of his
impassioned appeal he suddenly stop
ped, turned on his heel, and gaZed at
her. The woman was dressed in black,
with her face buried in her hands
There was "a hush, as if everybody had
stopped breathing, when, to the sur
prise of ALL Mr.. Howe leaped forward,
seized her wrists, quickly pulled them
apart, held her arms extended so that
the features were exposed to the gaze
of the jury, and then exclaimed:
Look at those features, proclaiming
broken heart!" The celebrity of the
action had frightened the woman. Her
face. Which was ashy pale, was delug-
ed with tears, and the aroused SYM
pathy of many juror could be seen
in the spasmodic working of his mouth
and eyelids. Despite the pleas of the
district attorney, the jury found her
mot guilty."-New York Tribune.

HONG KONG MARU NARROWLY
ESCAPES PILIKIA e. SPLENDID
CHRISTMAS FEAST &f MANILA.

1t looked for a few minutes this
morning as If the Hong Kong Maru
would be delayed some time in sailing
for San francisco. one of her stern
lines got afoul of the port propeller as
she was moving away from the Cham
mel wharf. The tug Fearless began to
pull the steamships stern away from
the wharf and the port propeller of the
big vessel was started, one of the
stern lines which the japanese sailors
aboard had failed to haul in as prompt
ly as seemed necessary, got twisted
about the propeller. The line was soon
stretched taught. The officer astern
signalled that something was the mat
ter while Captain Cameron, the pilot,
shouted from the pilot house that the
line was foul of the propeller. For
tunately the propeller cut the heavy
hawser instead of winding the rope
about the wheel and the danger was
escaped.
Captain Filmer had invited Governor
Taft and about fifty of the governors
in the Philippines to dine aboard the
vessel when she was at Manila Christ
mas Day. Chief Steward j. j. Rich
ards was to spare no effort to
make the dinner worthy of the guber-
Material party. Chief Richards proved
himself worthy of the task. He pre-
pared a feast that was fit for a COM
pany of kings. The greatest variety of
dishes and delicacies were offered.
The chief followed quite an original
idea in preparing his menu. This was
to have every locality touched by the
line of the Japanese vessel represented
on the bill. Many other places were
also represented by some delicious
dish. Hawaii was on the card with an
entree of sweetbreads. AS special
and new relish Mr.. Richards served poi
with this dish, and he says that it was
one of the most delightful on the bill.
The Hong Kong Maru got away a
few minutes after 10 o'clock this morn
ing for San Francisco. She is due at
the Coast next Monday morning.

RUSSIAN HOSPITALITY.

An Englishman who has spent some
years in st. Petersburg declares that
Russian hospitality demands more from
it's recipients, in some ways at least,
than any other. Here is his description
of the way you "spend the evening" in
a Russian house. You no sooner make
your appearance than your host drags
you to his den and makes you take a
drink. You find all the other men
there, taking their pick of the bottles
ranged along the hosts private side
board and helping themselves to a stiff
one every few minutes. If you are wise
and diplomatic you will dodge as many
of the anteprandial drinks as possible,
with view to your comfort later on.
But you have got to be very skillful
about this. Most Russian hosts have
way of regarding it as sort of reflec-
ton upon their stock of liqueurs, if not,
indeed, on their own drinking habits,
if their nom Russian guests begin to
fight shy.
You sit down to dinner at o'clock
and it lasts till 8. The array of courses
is staggering, and there's a wine, it
would seem, for every dish, let alone
every course. Men and women drink
champagne like water and the air is
such that it does them little harm. Be
tween every two or three courses the
cigarettes are passed founu, 10 the WO-
men as well as the men, and every
body smokes and chatters. After din
ner you go to the theater, where boxes
have been engaged. You may smoke
all you want to in the boxes and by 10
o'clock the drinking business begins
again. Your hosts cabinet of liquors
a portable affair designed for theater
use-has preceded him to the box, with
ice tank and siphons complete. The
women as rule take champagne, but
the men choose the liquors, Thus smok-
ing and drinking pretty necessarily you

H|LO TOWN IS
OVERCROWDED
FEDERAL OFFICIALS GOING NEXT
WEEK FAIL TO ENGAGE ACCOM-
MODATIONS.

Hilo is full of people and has accom-,
modations for no more. The federal Of
ficers who are to leave here next week
for the January term of the United
States District Court have been unable
to secure lodgings and are wondering
whether they had better take blankets
along and be ready to sleep in court or
in Jail. The Peacock lodging house is
full, and so is Demosthenes Lycurgus'
place and efforts to book for lodgings,
begun two weeks ago, have resulted in
failure.
The reason for the boom in Hilo is
the court business. Judge Little is
holding a term which calls for many
visitors, and Judge Estee is about to
open court with grand and trial jurors
drawn from all over the Territory.
There will be hustling for places of
abode when the Kinau arrives next
week with its load of jurors and Off
Gals.
Deputy United States Marshal f. l..
Handy left today for Hawaii, where he
will investigate several criminal mat
ters before the opening of the term of
the federal court there. The term be-
gins next Wednesday and Judge Estee,
District Attorney Breckons, Marshal
Hendry and Deputy Clerk Hatch will
go, together with lot of jurors. Han
dy will return on next Saturday.
The session beginning next week will
be the first Hilo has had at which there
was any business, other sessions having
merely opened according to law and
then adjourned, as there was nothing
to come before the court. This time
there is already one criminal trial OF
the calendar, a Japanese having, been
arrested on a charge of Illicit distilling,
and the visit of Handy may result in
some other arrests. .nrr
The peculiar conditions here make
the sessions of the court at Hilo a great
! Inconvenience to many people, as the
jurors have to be drawn from the whole
territory, and lot have TO make the
trip from Honolulu to HilO to serve as
jurors. One Kauai man was drawn.
The government allows ten cents per
mile for travelling expenses and SO pei
day jury fees, and this to some extent
compensates those who have to go. The
Kinau will be a regular court steamer
next week.
