steamer, troubled in mind After our
arrival in Honolulu she seemed to
cheer up. She enjoyed her drive up
Tantalus very much, and the drive to
the Pail and down to the level on the
other side she enjoyed extremely. She
was in a-happy would be too strong
a word-a cheerful frame of mind, so
much so that she spoke of it on the
way home.
THE FATAL DAY.
"On the 18th We got up at the usual
time $50 and prepared to take our
drive to the Pail, expecting to spend
the day. The carriage was ordered for
10 o'clock and we got off on time.
We drove slowly as Mrs. Stanford en-
joyed the drive very much and made
the remark, We want this to last as
long as it cam We reached a grove
on the other side of the Pail at about
1 o'clock, and there took our lunch.
We remained about an hour and a
half then we returned as we had come,
stopping on the way down at the ceme-
terry where the royal family are buried.
After stopping about fifteen minutes
We drove on and again stopped at
Sachs's store. Mrs. Stanford gave
some directions regarding a skirt she
was having made. We then drove to
Waikiki reaching the hotel at o'clock.
Mrs. Stanford went to her room di-
rectly and lay down on her bed to
rest before dinner.
THE next time L saw her was at
about $50. She came to my room and
said she was ready to go down to din
ner. On our way down Mrs. Stanford
stopped a moment on the veranda and
spoke 10 Mrs. Greenbaum, telling her
what a pleasant day we had had Then
she went to the dining room where we
remained about ten minutes, only par
taking of a plate of soup. Mrs Stan
ford remarked that she didn't care for
much dinner after our generous picnic
lunch After dinner Mrs. Stanford took
a seat on the veranda where we re-
manned until about 8 or SIS Il am not
exactly sure about the time)
WAS IN GOOD SPIRITS.
She was in good and bright spirits
that evening and had been all day. L
remember several exclamat ions of en-
joyment calling my attention to points
of beauty along the road. On the trip
I was seated in the back seat of the
two seated surrey with Mrs. Stanford.
The driver, Mr.. Johnson, and Miss
Hunt occupied the front seat. She
did not refer to the former poisoning
episode on the trip.
Before going down to dinner Tues
day night she came to my door and
said, How do [ look? and before [
could answer she said, Well some
body else looks Well Her face was
bright. After dinner l read the even
ing paper to her and after that she
conversed with several ladies. She had
a long conversation with Mrs. Peacock
and few words with Mrs. Rand.
"On our way up stairs Mrs. Stanford
said, Now, 1 want to take my medi-
cine having discussed the subject on
the way home. Then she remarked
that she had eaten rather freely OF
chocolate candy both during the picnic
lunch and on day previous. She said
on the trip. of course. I am old
enough to know better, but I will take
a little medicine tonight 1 laugh
ingly remarked, I presume we are in
for Garfield Tea, which was favorite
remedy. She said No. 1 will take a
dose of cascara and some soda as my
stomach is affected. Mrs. Stanford
was frequently troubled with acidity
of stomach.
THE MEDICINE PREPARED.
"On our way up to the room she said
she was going to take her medicine and
asked me to put out the soda for her.
on reaching her room | went to the
telescope basket in which the little
medicine basket was kept. asked May
for a spoon. and Mrs. Stanford turned
and said I will take a half a tea
spoonful of soda and you can place it
on my dressing table as l wish to take
my drink of water first and give it

stomach Therefore I placed the soda
on the table with a ca zcaret capsule
beside it and left her for the night.
The soda was bicarbonate of soda
in a bottle about two and a half or
three inches high. 1t had a large neck
and a screw top. large enough to insert
a spoon. put In the spoon. fitting the
bottle little. and dipped out the *oda.
I think I did not let the soda pile up
on one side when I tipped the bottle.
I do not think I tipped the bottle much.
I dipped the soda right out proba bly,
from the top. but 1 am not sure on this
point
The cap~ules were prepared at
Wakeley's drug store San Francisco.
