TIDAL WAVE AT HAINING.
Watching the Great Bore as IL Passed
on the Chinese Coast.

Shanghai Times: We anchored that
night at Haining. Tuesday morning early
was somewhat overcast, but by breakfast
time the sun vas shining and the sky was
blue for miles. Then we made prepara-
lions for seeing the midday bore. There
was a demond for field glasses, watches
We're compared and a memo book and PEN
eli were all in readiness. From the boat to
the bore, or whore the bore was shortly
TO put in an appearance, was a walk of a
quarter of an hour.
The water Immediately In front OF us
presented a most peculiar appearance. 1t
was running the opposite way 20 which
the bore was to approach, at racing speed,
and every now and again in different
places there seemed to be a meeting OF
the waters, not a harmonious one. either.
for every now and again waves would
appear which resembled the track of a
swttchback. These created a roaring
sound and would then die away and 9TH
ers would appear in other places. The
water seemed TO be ~convulsed with eddies
and currents.
After a short interval a shout went up,
II can see it." and at once all eyes were
turned IN the direction Of the bore, which
presented just a white streak against. the
distant hills. 1t was first seen at 1I:45 a.
m. Then further out to sea another white
streak was visible which gradually in
creased in size till a few minutes later
these two bores met. We watched intent
ly the huge mass of water-a cataract,
tossing and foaming as 1t raced toward
us. The scene seemed uncanny.
In front of us the water was calm, on
shore all was peaceful. What demon OF
the deep had dashed the sea into such a
seething, boiling vortex that, with break
neck speed, eight feet of water extending
for miles, HEADED by roaring, Gaming
waves, was rushing headlong as If to take
vengeance on something that had escaped
its clutches? The great mass Of water
passed up at 12:i5 and those of our party,
after talking the matter over, came to the
conclusion that the extreme height of the
bore was about eight feet. 1t passed us
in the shape of a crescent.
! have written that the day bore seemed
uncahny, but II was nothing to that Of the
night. The surroundings shortly after
midnight as our party of seven ain
their eyes and ears to see and hear the
bore were ghostlike. 1t was not till 1925
that we first saw the enormous wall of
foam-capped water tearing onward as il
life and death were In the balance Just
as 1t appeared the moon shone In all its
grandeur, / defy any brush to paint or
pen to describe those few minutes as the
water approaches, passes and continues on
Its mad career 1T passed us at l2:3 and
was much higher than at midday. The
living, seething whirlpool which followed
1t we estimated showed a rise OF fifteen
feet, and awe inspiring as was the foam
crested wave which led the YAM, the sight
OF the great body of water which followed
could not but make a lasting impression
on one.

Russell looked at her with an air of
indecision. :.
What would you advise" he asked.
Il certainly would want to earn my
money"
s'There'H be no fear about that"
laughed Miss vane, inc her smile was
very attractive.
Convey my thanks to Miss Ham
mond," he said, "and tell her l am
pleased to accept her offer"
The oftener Russell met Miss Vane
the more charmed he was with her.
AT the seventh meeting he was con-
WINGED he had loved her from the very
start. At the eighth meeting he was
fully satisfied that life would be a dis
MAJ wilderness without her.
At the ninth meeting he had the
courage to say:

Miss Vane.

Russell, and then was instantly con-
WINGED that he had said something in
excusably bold. But he quickly rallied
and remarked that it was strange he
ahdn't met Miss Hammond yet.
Not at ALL said Miss Vane, she
does not care to meet strangers
But ! am not exactly a stranger
said Russell.
You will see her some day. said
Miss Vane. AT present she Is inter-
ested in settling her affairs and super
intending certain improvements. When
she returns from the continent she
will open up her house and try to be-
come acquainted With her new neigh
bors."
THE continent?v repeated Russell.
And do you go. too"
Yes" replied Miss Vane.
And how long do you'll mean Miss
Hammond, intend to stay?"
Six months. / believe"
Russell went back TO his office with
a heavy heart. Could he endure it to
forego seeing that charming face for
six months2
He didn't think he could.
Then he plucked up his courage and
sat dow and wrote Miss Vane a love
letter that was also an offer OF mar
riage. ii was a long letter. He told
her about himself, his plans, his hopes.
his present standing. He told her how
she had come into his life like a raw
of sunshine and how his admiration
and respect and gratitude had all
emerged into love. Theirs was a BRIEF
acquaintance, he admitted, but they

Russell read it aloud:

of letting any OF my property pass
out of my hands. Very truly yours
Russell looked around at the young
roman
Can you blame me for laughing?' %
she said. Isn't hat about the cutest
thing you eve saw in the way OF a re-
fusal of a marriage offer?"
Russell nodded.
"And-and does it fit the case?" he
asked.
Exactly" replied the young woman
and it fits all the closer because II
was done unconsciously."
and the man will not suspect that a
mistake has been made"
Not for q moment
Russell shook his head r~uefuily.
I'D awfully hate to deserve a reply
like that" he said. Il don't believe
could" He looked at the young wom-
an sharply. Il beg your pardon" he
added, but is appears to me that you
are on extremely confidential terms
with Miss Hammond"
That is true" said the young
woman.
Il wasn't aware hat answer to Of
fers of marriage were usually left in
the hands of secretaries" Russell went
on.
The young woman laughed
There is no sentiment about offers
of this sort" she said. They are SIM
ply unimportant business details"
Russell laughed as much at the way
in which the young woman said this
as he did at the idea.
Then If | made a proposal OF mar
riage to Miss Hammond he went on.
II could expect that you would answer
it?"
Most assuredly," replied the young
woman. THAT is. unless it went by
mistake to some puzzled dealer in prop
erty."

ger" said Russell. But this brings me
back to business. OF course l am

'Of course" said the young woman

Yes" he replied, 1T is worth more
You understand that / was simply the

mo doubt you thought that here was
a chance TO obtain a bargain from a

anything of the kind. / simply tried
to execute the commission that was

i~ntrusted me with a similar piece OF
business"
Very WELL" said the young woman
CAS- a proof of your good faith you may
take that same lot of land and let us
see how good a price you can get for
it,"
Does Miss Hammond authorize
this" Russell inquired.
If the price is right" said the young
woman, she can be persuaded"
Russell took his nat.
Il will report in a few days" he said
He hesitated. las l am, apparently, to
transact this business with you, would
it be a presumption to ask your

Not at ALL" replied the young wom-
an Il am Miss Vane."
Good morning, Miss Vane," said
Russell, and was gone.
He smiled over his singular adyen-
ture all the way back to the office.
What a bright and charming girl that
Miss yane was. He wasn't quite sure
that he had ever heard a woman's un-
restrained laughter that was at all
pleasant before. She must be q de-
lightful companion, no matter how
crotchety her old maid employer might
be. He would show her what he could
do with that corner lot. He would
convince her Of his honesty and en-
ergy.
-Four days later he again greeted
Miss yane. He fancied she seemed
pleased TO see him.

said: II found an out-of-town pur-
chaser for the lot"

PROMISED WITH WIFE
YEARS AGO.

A. s. Humphreys, Thompson and
Clemens have flied their brief to the
Supreme Court for the respondents in
the case Of ]. A. Cummins vs.. ]. O..
', Carter, trustee, ct al. The case is sta.
ted as follows: In 1896 Cummins was
married to Kahalewai but living in
adultery with his present wife, whom
he married after Kahalewai's death In
1904. In 1896 w. A. Kinney, as Kaha.
lewai's attorney. visited Cummins and
told him that she wonld get a divorce
from him unless he agreed to a divi.
sion OF the property, whereby public
threat to expose his adulterous rela.
tons with his present wife. The adul.
terry is admitted. although counsel for
complainant alphabetically informs the
court that It was committed "in his
own house and family" Perhaps the
moral quality OF mind that can miti.
gate an act OF adultery committed in
mans "own house and family" is
excusable for insisting that upon the
facts here charged equity will afford
relief from family settlement, en-.
tered into by husband and wife, after
the death Of the wife, who purchased
the settlement by release OF her
dover and her claim upon her husband
for support"

ity would be avoided. Cummins went
vised by him to make the trust deed
providing for his wife. Cummins act
ed on his advice, but did SO believing
that this deed would not be irrevocable
and that on his wife's death he would
be entitled to all the property.
1t Is argued that the deed attached
was a compromise between husband
and wife, In which they made provl.
sion for themselves and their children.
After showing that the provisions
made were reasonable and that II any
fraud was practiced by Kahalewai and
her agents upon the complainant, this
can not be imputed to the children.

on as follows:

Capt. J. B. Johnson. secretary of
the Pine Bluff board Of trade, has adj
dressed a letter to the general man
a&er CT the Pine Bluff and Hot Springs
Western railway protesting against
the proposed change in the schedule
of trains on that road this winter,
Capt. Johnsonss action was the resul;
OF complaints made by the Wholesale
men of the city, who declare that the
proposed change in the schedule of
the trains on this road would prove
detrimental to this city's commercial
interests.
No authentic information has been
received here about any changes in
the schedule of the Pine Bluff and
Hot Springs Western railway. but sey-
eral days ago a story was printed in
the Graphic to the effect that there
was rumor that such change would
be made. The report here is that the
management of the road proposes to
run an early morning train out of Pine
Bluff to Hct Springs. and will return
late in the afternoon. giving Hot
Springs the advantage of the traffic
along the line of the road. AS the
trains are now run, parties along the
route of the road have about two
hours in this city, their train getting
In at 1880 a. m. and returning at
1:3O p. m. Under the proposed sched-
ule, it would require two days for one
to make the trip to this city and re-
turn home. The fear is expressed that
this would seriously cripple Pine
Bluffs jobbing trade with the busi-
ness men along the line Of the new
road, as we'll as the retail trade of the
city. 1t is known that there are hun
dreds of people who come here ever
the Hot Springs road to do their shop
ping. returning home the same day.
These people, however, would not like
to be forced to spend the night here
when they come to town. This is
what they would have to do under the
new schedule.
1t is hoped among the business men
of the city that the talk about any
change in the present schedule is
nothing more than mere rumor: but it
was thought best to take time by the
forelock and put in an early protest
against the proposed change.
