Yes" said Mr.. Starline, who was
talking to himself in his library, yes,
Miss Witherly Is most estimable
lady. Devoted to the church, chart
table, energetic, excellent in every
way; and she admires-ahem!- that is,
she appreciates me.
How she works among the or
phans and the aged poor in the Home;
how excellently she manages her BIZ
bic class, and how kind of her to bring
up that little orphan, Ellen Moore; yes,
| shall gain a helpmeet indeed if she
will accept me, and" said Mr.. Star
line, regarding his clerical white tie
In the mantel glass complacently for
moment, "and l have no doubt but she
will"
Then Mr.. Starline put on his best hat
and his best gloves, took in his hand
the gold-headed cane presented to him
by his congregation, and set out in the
direction of Miss Witherly's cottage
having quite resolved to waste no more
time about 1t. but to propose at once.
All! could Cansaida have known it.,
nothing would have delighted her
more. For two years she had made
the capture OF Mr.. Starline, his big
parsonage, his snug little income, and
the honor OF the title of minister's
wife the object of her soul. With this
hope she had devoted herself to church
work, to the aged poor in the Home,
to the little orphans and to the poor
generally. She had given flowers at
| Easter, and twined eyergreens at
Christmas, till her hands were full of
briars, and oh! how she had listened
to the sermons Mr.. Starline preached,
and borrowed them for private perusal,
and wept over the affecting parts, and
had striven not TO smile. oh, so very
hard, because 1t was in church you
know, when he grew witty.
Just at the time he took his evening
walk 1t had often happened that she
was hurrying up the road with a lar
of jelly for a sick person or tract for
a wicked one. No one could guess
how hard she had worked to gain her

point, and now-just as Mr.. Starline
had made up his mind-poor Miss
Witherly began to despair She had
wasted two years upon clergyman
which she might have spent more
protitably, for she had driven from her
very respectable farmer with serious
intensions, and he had married some
one else.
This morning false report that Mr..
Starline was counting Rosa Rhubarb,
the doctors daughter, had reached her,
and she was very cross. Moreover, her
dear crony, the Widow Lane, had come
to stay all day. Every woman has one
crony in the world before whom she
plays no part. Over late lunch, Miss
Witherly was talking to Mrs. Lane as
she talked to no one else, when the
clergyman arrived, and a new servant,
who was not acquainted with the gen
tleman, thus announced him:
"A man wants you, Miss WitherIy"
"Old Hopper, l suppose" said Miss
Witherly, Il promised to send his wife
cOAAAS NAOhACo, put min w mere. June,
out of the way until l can eat my
lunch, for l don't disturb myself for
any one to-day" .s.t
And Jane, returning to Mr. Starline,
escorted him to the parlor, where every
word that was spoken in the dining
room was plainly audible
The clergyman seated himself in the
largest armchair, which was near the
communicating door, and folded his
hands and waited. He was composing
an ornate proposition. He had got as
far as: MY dear and respected Miss
Wltherly, you may have remarked, "
when suddenly sharp voice smote his
ear with these words, "Old Starline. -"
Old Starline! He could scarcely be-
lieve his ears. Involuntarily he leaned
little nearer the door and heard the
words repeated.

same name. I'm not DID," said Mr..

: Mr.. Starline of nobody.

Mr.. Starline groaned softly once

of the front door, and from the porch
to the road, and then he fled. He alb

He found that he was quite unable to
tell from the nature of the wound at
what range wounded man had been

of wound would occur at given

of the tissues struck was of more con-
sequence than the range at which the
bullet was fired.
Thus wounds Of the Uranium or Of

involving the soft tissues were al

DUST FILLER
REPUBLICAN CLUB OF MAUI
TRIES TO REORGANIzE THE
WAILUKU ROAD BOARD.

WAILUKU. July ia special meet
ing of the Sixth precinct Republican
Club was held on last Wednesday even
ing, to discuss matters pertaining to
the local Road Board. The executive
committee, in whose hands the matter
had been left, reported in favor of
complete reorganization of the Wal
luku Road Board, their slate being to
have c. b. Wells for chairman, and r.
A. Wadsworth of Kahului and F. f.
Baldwin of Puunene as members. She
riff Baldwin, who has been chairman
of the Board for many years past had
resigned his office a short time previous,
the other members of the road board
being c. b. Wells and r. w. Filler of
Kahului The action of the executive
committee in recommending a complete
reorganization meant that Filler was to
step out, although a very substantial
reason for this move could not be given
1t is stated that the executive recon-
mended this action in view of the fact
that Filler is manager of the Kahului
Railroad Company with which company
the Road Board has quite much to do.
However the Precinct Club did not
ratify the action of their executive conf
mittee in wishing to GUST Filler from
his membership on the road board, and
from the discussions which ensued, it
is most probable that the new road
board will comprise c. b. Wells, chair
man, r. w. Filler and F, F. Baldwin.
