sh,s time. He Is speeding along some
here on the eight mile road, across
orr,rv. between waialua and the pine
s.n,e ranch OF its msster, and behind this
.sn,s. In an open buggy, sit young son
=, NV friend and his sister. They are the
n,onellers of the hybrid, and are growing
their muscle, no doubt.

lam also awaiting lunch, but there is
,,,i half hour between me and 1t, so l
stroll on the winding walks of the beau
uful grounds. come up to a bevy OF
youpg dsmsels with bare feet, sitting on
The grass around bed OF flowers, with
needles and Irvine, making ieis or wresths.
AsIs seek information regarding the plan
a, making these pretty leis, one OF their
amber volunteers to show me. 1 learn
she Is sister oil the Princess David.
Now my lunch is over. l ate 1t at
table set ON one wing of the spacious
veranda. The atmosphere is very soft,
and the breeze fans me gently as remain
awhile In the open air, and am bathed in
iue liquid sunshine.
There is no report from the mule yet.
Think that he is long time coming. 1
tell mine host that / will take another
stroll through his beautiful grounds, aud
Task him to call me IL he secs the mule
drawing near.

meet a boy OF about fourteen summers
(there are no winters here), who gays he
is my friends only son, and that he has
three sisters, two OF whom were members
OF my Sunday school class in the states
years ago. These two are scboolmarms
and are two objects of my visit to Wa
hiawa.
"where's your mule, my Iad?"
ale is out here tied to the fence" Is the
reply.
Ehll NY Nhfi7S hbu u u
never go without the latter, even II |
leave behind the formerl, and follow the
boy, going right through the hotel and
out the back door, and as / descend the
broad steps l see the sleepy mule hitched
to red topless buggy in the rear, and to
fence rail In front.
Isay a fred" buggy; The fact is bug
gies paint themselves, running on these
red soil country roads, through dry aud
liquid suns hine. You can readily see how
1t is done.
Now that the buggy is fresh with paint,
and will take on new coat or two on our
way to the pineapple plantation, do not
want to be painted. / have on my best
summer suit which is light in color, and
think 1t is all right rs it Is.
To avoid any transformation, pull on
my storm coat, and cover my legs we'll
with lap robe.
Now we are ready to start the mule
homeward. Well, after aw nile the lad got
him turned around; then he applies W hat
there is left OF whip to the animals
right rump. The boy says that he has left
his black snake at home. l am sorry,
although think l shall join a humane
society for the prevention OF cruelty to
dumb animals the first chance / get.
But those black, lowering clouds up
there yonder in the sky, and the eight
miles OF road ahead OF us, and this mule
between the thills of this red buggy, ala
three Jumped together, cause me to feel
considerable anxiety as to what will be
the outcome Of this adventure. l wish I
was at the pineapple plantation now,
eating good ripe pineapple.
Well fifteen or twenty good strokes OF
the damaged whip have induced our mule
to get underway and he has actually gone
ten feet or ten rods distances are very
deceving) In slow trot.
