passed through beautiful country,
hardly less picturesque than the IA
NOUS Waipio Valley itself. The road
way was lined on each side with mag
nif1cent ferns of half a dozen different
varieties. In the distance on one hand
was the green covered Waipio range
while on the right Mauna Kea stood
out majestic in snowy whiteness.
Waipio was reached little after
noon, where the party was met by
Manager Forbes of the Pacific Sugar
Mill He had fresh horses in waiting
and the entire party rode down into
Waipio Valley. Only the trail down
into this valley could be responsible
for the expression of some of the mem
bers of the party, that Mud Lane was
a pretty fair road. The Waipio trail
is barely wide enough for one horse,
and it is sufficiently steep and rocky
to leave little choice as to following the
trail or adopting the more speedy
course of dropping off the side of the
mountain. The trail from the top to
the bottom of the valley is less than n
mile long, while the height of the
mountain is not quite 1000 feet. The
trail is rocky, and in places almost per-
pendicular.
The horses. are compelled to jump
from one rock to the next, and it is
reported that quite a number of ami
mails have dropped off the trail to be
dashed to pieces on the rocks beneath. |
No lives have been lost here, however |
it is a miracle to make either |
the ascent or descent at night which |
the natives are sometimes compelled to |
do.
Besides being almost inaccessible |
Waipio has one other drawback It is |
a Home Rule stronghold, or rather was,
for Governor Carter and Secretary At
kinson, seemed d to have made. some inn
preston on the natives in the speeches
delivered to them.
But leaving out it's roads and its poll
tics Waipio IS without doubt one of
the most beautiful spots in the islands.
Looking from the top of the trail the
ice fields below seem like tiny gardens.
From every side of the securely en-
closed valleys little streams of water
.umble down, forming miniature wa
erfalls in a dozen different places.

"A TAIPIO, Jan. 29.-The. prettiest
w spot in Hawaii was that visit
ed by Governor Carter and
party in Waipio today. The party left
Waimea at eight O'Clock this morning,
meeting Senator Dickey and S. T. Alex
ander just as they were leaving. The
Alexander party had just returned
from a tour around the island and re-
ported the roads in fairly good condi-
ton.
A BAD STRETCH OF ROAD.
From Waimea to Waipio and Homo
kaa is one of the worst bits of roads
in the Islands. 1t is known Familiarity
and far and wide, as Mud Lane" and
though it doesn't deserve that appela-
ton il IS worthy of a name infinitely
worse. Mud Lane is a stretch of road
way just out of Waimea which is little
more than rocky, steep, bride path.
For a distance of probably three miles
wagons bounce from rock to rock and
from depression to depression, while
even the horses have difficulty in keep
ing foothold. So violent was the
shaking given to the wagons that a
lightly loaded rig belonging to Sheriff
Andrews had its springs broken. AS
horse trail Mud Lane is of value but
it is good for little else besides. What
makes this stretch of road worse, is the
fact that the remainder of the road
between Waimea and Honokaa is fairly
good.
The road was built three or four
years ago but rains washed out the
filing and now it is not in as good
repair as before the government began
to work upon it. There is an appro-
priation for rebuilding the road, but /
no attempt will be made to repair the
misnamed Mud Lane, and a new road
Will probably be surveyed which will

He is a slightly built young man,
somewhat taller than his father. He
is as fond as his father of outdoor
sports, and he has shown that he pos
sesses artistic tastes, which he doubt
less inherits from his grandmother,
the Empress Frederick.
The home life of the Prince was
managed on by no means a luxurious
scale. AS soon as he was able to be-
gin his studies he was obliged to study
constantly. He rose punctually at
a. m, summer and winter. At 1880 he
breakfasted with the Empress and his
brothers, and this meal consisted Of
tea and bread and butter.
Lessons began at 8 o'clock The
course of study was a severe one, and
foreign languages, especially French,
we're ground into him. At $3.50 a sec
ond breakfast was served and then
more lessons, a military drill and ex-
ereises followed until 1 o'clock, when
luncheon was served.
After luncheon there was a short
time spent in recreation and then
more study. This time science and
music, until o'clock, when supper
was served. After supper there was
allowed one hour for recreation and
at 1880 the young Prince went to bed.
The Crown Prince is extremely fond
of music and he learned early to play
the piano. Then each day he had TO
take riding lessons. AS soon as he
was able to sit on horse he had a
pony of his own, which he learned to
mount and ride barebacked.
1t was in 1902 that he attracted
much attention through his infatua-
ton for Miss Gladys Deacon. He met
her in England and her beauty so at
tracted him that he fell deeply in love
with her and was ready to give up his
prospects as heir to the throne in or
der to make her his wife.
He gave her ring which was an
heirloom. When the Emperor heard
of it he sent a messenger to Miss Dea-
con, demanding its return, saying that
the ring was not the property of the
Prince, but was gift of the Empress
Frederick to the German nation. Miss
Deacon, backed by the Duchess of
| Marlborough, Indignantly refused to
part with the ring.
The ring, though, was finally re-
turned. Meantime, the Crown Prince
was closely confined to his room, and
his uncle, Prince Henry of Prussia.

asked as the curtain fell.
Yes" answered Jessie, raising her
eyes and looking at Blake with
puzzled smile. why do you ask?"
That's Arthur Morris. the banker.
Would you like to meet him?"
Il shall be delighted" exclaimed
Jessie, who could not resist the temp

At that instant Morris directed his
Opera-glass for the first time at the
Blake box. The smile of joy when
he recognized Jessie turned to one
of blank amaZement when he saw
James Blake. In response to Blake's
signal the dazed Morris was picking
his way through the crush. Blake
led Jessie to the rear of the box.

years-fye years, is il not, Miss Car

Jessie's laughing eyes admitted the
truth and Blake looked properly con-
fused.
Il shall have to forgive you" Blake
said to Jessie, 'but you are taking
an unfair advantage of a wild West
erner."
''You have the reputation Of being
lucky" said Morris, laying his hand

After a half hours rest the workmen
returned to the task and continued
till the dinner hour, when another
photograph was taken. Thus the
work proceeded till the engine was
completed, with the exception of a
coat Of paint This was quickly laid
on by spraying machine, and in less
than half an hour was perfectly dry.
The locomotive was then sent on a
trial journey a few miles up the line
and all proved satisfactory, so it was
sent with a baggage train. It has
been in active service ever since.
