That same evening both the big steamer and
the elephant entered the harbor of Honolulu just
as the setting. In the gloom the elephant
was not noticed. as Harold kept in the shadow Of
the big boat He did not want the natives TO see
him and come swarming around that night for he
had very important business to attend TO. and that
was to make arrangements for his marriage 10
lone. Now that the idea Of marrying her had en-
tered his head ne could think Of nothing else until
II was ACCOMPLISHED.
That night at about o'clock he went on board
the Empress of India. While waiting for his card

IN the moonl!ght. Harold approached him. and
after the courtesies OF the evening had been ex-
CHANGED. he plunged into the subject 1ppernos+ in
his heart. and surprised the captain by saving:

Harold. as he stealthily wiped tear from his

Certainly. with pleasure replied the captain.
AS the two walked Off along the deck the
captain turned and. looking Harold straight In the
face. said: What would not give to have 4 son
