meet the glitter of another pair OF
eyes that burned into his very soul.
He started back with an inarticulate
cry. and the father and daughter
passed him and went on into the
cabin.
Everett sat Imply upon the ground,
a strong fit of shudderfng seized him,
and he covered his face! with his
hands. For some time he fought with
his fear, but at last his strong will con-
quered, and he looked up. Almost at
his elbow stood another figure.
''Who are your" Everett asked,
hoarsely. what damnable trickery is
this? Answer me: I'll have an an
swer, if l choke it out of your throat!"
He moved menacingly, and then
stopped, for the man before him had
heard nothing. He was young-Ever-
EFT could distinguish this much-black-
bearded and 1.-THE, and was bent al
most double. His eyes, too, glared
with a preternatural fire, and there
was an ugly snarl on his face. His
gaze was bent upon the cabin, and he
crept stealthily nearer and nearer.
Everett moved back and watched
him; followed slowly, step by step,
with the cold fear in his heart, but
impelled onward by a fascinated GU
riosity which he could not resist. The
cabin door still stood open, and as the
occupants of the room moved hither
and thither, their distorted shadows
danced against the walls or out into
the night
When the man approached the door,
the light fell full upon him, and Ever
EFT gasped and choked. He knew that
man. He was certain of it, and yet
he could not place him; he could re-

The repeated visits which High She

Rawlins have been paying to the Moa-
ma Hotel are not altogether in relation
to the Stanford case. The officers are
investigating a robbery of a guest at
the hotel. The robbery did not occur
however at the hotel in any way but
is understood to have taken place away
from the hosiery. Fifteen hundred
dollars is the amount of the money Sc
cured from the stranger. A white wo-
man is charged with having touched"
the stranger.
The latter was naturally sore to lose
his bank roll so naturally he reported

Honolulu, March

IIOHOlulu' NIdltll u lJuJ'
Hon. D. p. r. Isenberg, President of
the Senate.
Sir: Your special committee to which
was referred Senate bill No. u begs
leave to report.
The bill is for the purpose of granting
to John Lucas and his associates the
right to build a belt railroad around the
southeastern end of Oahu and a cross
line from Kahuku through Kalihi val
ley to a point near Kamehameha school
The road may use any power except
that it may not use steam i'm the dis
tricts of Waialua and Eva. 1t passes
through Honolulu on the line of Queen
street, the Beach road and Kapiolani
Park. There is no restriction on the
size of rail gauge or track or grade of
road. The maximum rate of speed on
streets or roads is eight miles and the
maximum rate of fare is six cents
mile.
Your committee feels that it would
incOmmode the public very much to al
low another railroad to pass through
the congested part of QUEEN street from
the river to Fort street where the RAJ
pid Transit & Land Company now have
"A track and where a large part of the
heavy drayage of the city is carried
on. 1t would be sorry to see KapiO-
lani park defaced by running a rail-
road through it.
The Rapid Transit and Land Com
pany has given the city one of the
best services in the world and it would
be very unfair to allow another COM

Why He Didn't.

Governor Elect Guild of Massachu-
sets, who served in the Spanish war,
tells a story of a New York regiment,
many of whose members were recruit
ed on the east side. They were spoil
ing for a fight, and it became necessary
to post a sentry to preserve order.
A big, huskyIBowery recruit Of pugil-
istic propensities was put on guard
outside and given special orders to see
that quiet reigned and, above all
things, if trouble came his way, not to
lose possession of his rife.
Soon a general row began, growing in
proportions as the minutes passed. The
soldier walked his post nervously, with
out interrupting, until the corporal Of
the guard appeared on the scene with
re-enforcements.
why didn't you stop this row?"
shouted the corporal.
The sentry, balancing his rifle on his
shoulder. raised his arms to the cor
rect boxing position and replied:
Sure. phw0t could | do wild this gun
in me hands?'-New York Tribune.

BROKE UP GANG
peradoes-Bound Them Vile Asleep.
A Series OF Crimes I'm That Section.

For several weeks q gang of robbers
has been operating just across the
state line to the vicinity of Hamlet
and Ohio. 1t is thought that the gang
is composed entirely Of negroes and
that the leader is Tom Hightower. the
negro who cut his wife TO pieces and
buried her in sections in a swamp near
Tatum about two weeks ago.
Several people have been held up
and robbed and Il number Of stores
and other buildings broken into. One
night two of the gang offered to show
q colored passenger the way to q res
taurant in Hamlet while the train was
stopped for supper. They carried him
to a dark place and robbed him Of
about 800 in cash and Several other
articles. South of Hamlet they signed
down the southbound train and got on.
After getting i'm the car they both went
to sleep Immediately. The conductor
who had been apprised of the robbery
got an assistant and tied the negroes
while they slept. He then raj his
train back to Hamlet and delivered the
prisoners to the authorities. The
money and other articles were all re-
covered.
At another time a valise was stolen
from a passenger. The thieves were
tracked into the woods where it was

Guiding a nice Bible. and figured on the
ground to divide the money.
4 citizen was walking an unfre-
quented path in the woods and found
two negroes lying by a log asleep.
He hurried to Hamlet for policemen
and went back and found the negroes
still there. One of them was captured
but the other seized his Winchester
rifle and escaped. The captured negro
said tina the other was Tom Hightow-
er. They were supplied with torpe-
does and tapers to sign down trains.
The prisoner was carried to Hamlet
and locked up in the guard house.
That night the guard house was brok'
| en- into and the negro released. Several
stores in town were broken into and
robbed the same night.-Bennettsville
