There is always great danger in carry

here Is simply an extinguisher for
candles, being adjusted to extlnguish
the candle after predetermined
amount of the light has been consum-
ed An alarm bell is attached to the
extinguisher, so that it may be sound

guisher can operate to enable the user
to adjust it. The cap on the left of
the handle Is in the form of hollow
I cone, pivotally hinged to the cylindri-
cal bracket which is secured to the
candle. A small prong projects upward
from this bracket resting against the
candle, while another pivot pin on
the opposite side presses into the can
die short distance above the prong.
This pivot pin works in connection
with a striking head for the bell, so

matter as it is practically impossible
to keep dry and comfortable. For
doctors and others whose duties nee

fastened by means of hooks on the
tops and sides. A rubber drawing
string in the bottom of the shield holds

CHAPTER XIV.
Rescued by the Enemy.


An accident had befallen Dan lap
ham in the early morning engagement.
In the rush for boats before it was
still daylight he had taken the fist
one he came to. He led the way to the
place where he expected to find the
southsiders, and was followed by the
long array of northside fishermen in
their boats.
He was far in advance of the other
fishermen, expecting to locate the ene-
my and then await the arrival of his
colleagues and assist them in the at
tack.
Before single shot was fred and be-
fore daylight began to dawn Dan came
to grief in most unexpected manner.
The river brought with it all kinds of
driftwood from above. The fishermen
were constantly on the lookout for
this. for large logs, famous the world
over for their length and size, often
come down with a speed and force
sufficient to crush a river steamer, and
the small craft of the fishermen would
stand no more show before these than
would an egg shell.
But it was not one of these that
caused Dan trouble. 1t is the con-
cealed from which most harm comes
in all of the experiences of life. 1t is
the hidden that takes man unawares
and dashes his hope to pieces or frus-
trates his plans at the most unex-
pected moment. We may battle with
the open enemy with hope of success,
but the one in ambush takes us at a
disadvantage and destroys or is victor
ious over us before we are even prepar-
ed for defense.
Dan was keeping sharp lookout
foi the enemy. He knew the plans Of
the southsiders and expected to in.
tercept them before they should di'
vide up into squads. While there

men. A slight redness above the hori-
Fan to the east indicated that morning
was approaching. The men had been
watching for the approach of the north
sideis for several moments. They
were the lower guards, who expected to
apprehend the fishermen of the traps
in the lower bay. A large log with
branches extending in many directions
had almost run into them. So dark
was the night that it had approached
them very closley before they saw it..
1t was this that had called for the COM
mand to the steersman.
There is man aboard that drift"
exclaimed one of the men. "Tie on to
the drift" said the leader.
One of the men grabbed branch Of
the drift and the boat and log hoated
along together.
1.-The mans Dead" remarked one of
the fishermen as he came near the OBJ
ject. Bring him aboard, anyway"
said the leader, "and we will bury him
on the sand spit"
Then the fishermen raised Dan lap
ham from his place on the drift, fairly
prying his clinched hands from the
branches of the tree, and laid him in
the boat at their feet.

CHAPTER XIV-Continued.

The northsiders guarded their traps.
1t was believed that with the approach
OF night the southsiders would stea
upon the traps in squads and attem pt
their destruction. The trouble had
been too long brewing to give up after
one slight engagement. The fishermen
on both sides felt that principle was
involved and they were there to settle
it by might. The gillnetters declared
that the traps were gradually destroy
ing the run of fish while the trappers
claimed that the gillnets were doing
greater harm to the industry than the
traps. The men had spent their lives
fishing, the support of their families
depended upon it, and it was truly a
vital issue with them.
The run of fish was getting lighter
every year and whatever the fault
might be it was evident that the in
dustry would soon become a thing of
the past. 1t was natural that both
sides should strike hard now as each
respectively considered that the other
was the cause of the dying industry.
The shore people had communicated
with the men on the water several
times during the day. The women had
prepared meals and sent them out by
the boys of the village to number of
the men. But the fishermen were bad
ly scattered and many of them went
without meals.
Sankala had made many inquiries
for Dan Lapham but he had not been
seen since the departure of the boats
from the north shore.
He had led the way and given direc-
tions fci the men to follow. But no
one who had come ashore could give
any tidings of the young fisherman.
Sankala had prepared two meals and
sent them out by the boys but they
were unable to find him.
When night came still there was no
tidings from the young fisherman.
The girl could endure it no longer
She prepared enough lunch for a siege
and slipped away to the beach unob-
served. She knew that if Dan had not
been killed or captured, he would be
found near his trap at the lower end
Va ohp ooys
The night was very dark, and a
storm was brewing, but she believed
that she could make it to his trap be-
fore it grew too dangerous.
She tried the fishing boat but her
strength was not sufficient to launch
it. Then she drew a small skiff to
the waters edge. 1t would not live in
a heavy storm, but Sankala knew that
if she could reach Dan his strong arms
would bring her safely ashore again.
The roar of the surf on the bar was
already distinct. An occasional white
cap leaped above the murky horizon to
the southwest. Dark, misty clouds
obscured the'last star. The wind was
already moaning in the boughs of the
tall fire ON the hills.
Sankala showed the light craft into
the water, and, guided by the interval
flashes from Cape Disappointment
light house, she pulled toward the foot
of the rocks where lay the fish trap
tended by Dan Lapham.

THE NEW CATHEDRAL.

The finest building on Fort street,
after the Haekfeld structure, viii
doubtless besthe new Roman Catholic
cathedral which August Dreier expects
10 erect as a memorial to his daugh-
ter, the late Juanita Dreier. Public
interest in it as an improvement to
property will extend to people of all re-
Ifgio1s views or of none at all; for
nothing could do more for the neigh
borhood of Beretania and Fort than
the expenditure of $4,000 to 100000
on a cathedral or, for that matter, on
any fine public building.
Such an edifice would employ many
men for long time in its construction,
which is not the least Of the obliga-
lions under which Mr.. Dreier will put
his fellow-citizens and his church.

IF it is true that the Democrats have
committed themselves to Iaukea they
have chosen a man who could do no
more at Washington for Hawaii than
Kuhio. At his best Iaukea is poseur,
while what is needed in Congress is a
hard-headed. industrious attorney, who
can meet the white men with whom he
has to do business on equal terms and
who knows and sympathizes with
American political conditions. 1t would
be vastly better for the natives who
want work on Government buildings
and forts to send man to Congress
who can get such improvements started
here than one of their own race who
does not know the ways of legislation
and must learn, if at all, under diff
culties.

THE PORTUGUESE.

Editor Advertiser: Do you consider
It good policy and justice, to prevent
Portuguese in this Territory from earn
ing a livelihood by Withholding from
them employment on public works on
the ground that they are not American
citizens, and at the same time to bar
such citizenship from them by condi-
lions with which they are unable to
comply, large number of these Por-
fuguese being illiterate people.
The consequence of this policy is evil

desirable population from here, to find
a living elsewhere. x.
The Advertiser believes in getting
public work done by people who live
and invest here, as the Portuguese do.
without reference to whether they can
read or write the English or Hawaiian
languages. The "citizen-only" cry is
ali right enough so far as it bars out
nomads who send away what money
they make here but in the case of the
thrifty Portuguese it works an injustice
both to them and to the Territory.
1t is as desirable to keep the good
men we have as it is to import new
ones.

WORK NEEDED FOR THE FORTS.

While this paper has ventured the
opinion that no local pressure is called
for TO induce the army and navy TO
carry out their plans for the defense
of HonoIuIu-that being purely ma
tional rnatter-it concurs in the general
view that persuasion will be needed
to get the work OF fertilization begun
here first.
The defence of the outlying CONNER
cial points of the United States-the
.insular defence system" as it is called
-embodies plans local to the Philip
pines, Guam, Tutuila, Panama, Porto
Rico and Hawaii. There will be a
strong pull to get the earlier appropria-
tions for the Philippines and. in view
of the canal and the Monroe doctrine
to begin immediate work on a fortified
base in Porto Rico. These two projects
might easily use up the bulk of the
appropriations for five years to come.

wait.

wall needs a strong and influential
Delegate or, failing that, a lobby of
good workers while the military bill
is in committee. This Territory. in
such matter ought to get help from
California, seeing how much secure
base for an American fleet here would
mean TO the defence of the coast in
times of war. BY rallying all the in
luence possible, a large approprie ton
to begin work on the forts and naval
station might be had from the next
Congress. Once begun, such expendi- |
ture would not be likely to cease until
the object of it all had been reached.

neglect this vital matter and concen- |
