the query: Where are our car load

were getting busy.

and will remain here until Sunday f.
ternoon, when they will return to that

dearer to him than his own-reach-
ed him in its extremity, its agony,
and the manhood within him res
pended with a rush of reserve
strength that shook him.
He got OH the ground and wedg-
ed his shoulder under the mass of
debris which pinned down the ba-
by's mother. He still seemed to
see that helpless hand clinging to
the broken bottle neck. Then, with
a thrill of JOY in the consciousness
of his own power, he took a deep
breath and put forth all his
strength.
That's it ''-Bernstein was flat
on his face, gasping, beside him
half an inch higher, Heathering-
ton-thafS it. Now | can reach
her! Now I've got her For Gods
sake, man, hold on-don't give out
yeti
The veins stood out on the Eng
lishmans neck and forehead like
whipcord, under weight which
would have crushed the back and
shoulders of another man. With
palms pressed upon the ground and
arms hard as iron, his splendid
muscles answered to the strain put
upon them. He staggered little
when he stood up. Then he help
ed Bernstein to carry the woman
away.
Her eyes opened upon them in
an agony of inquiry as they laid
her down. With quick instinct
Bernstein lifted the baby and put
it within her arms. Heatherineton
drew off his coat and, folding it,
laid it under her head. Then they
returned to the wreck
For an hour they worked side
by side, foremost among the
eager band of rescuers. the wiry
body of the little Israelite serving
as the thin end OF the wedge where
the Briton's more ponderous
strength could follow. And the
people whom they drew from
agony and death saw not Jew and
Gentle, but two of the sons of
God.
When the last ambulance had
rolled away Bernstein stopped, and
raising pail of iced water, which
some one had brought from neigh
boring house, drank greedily.
Heatherington took the vessel
from his hands and finished the con-

THE HONOLULU TIMES.

Reatherlngton gazed with starting
veins at the onconing herald of
death which rushed to meet them
and jumped.
He opened his eyes after moment
during which heaven and earth
seemed TO crash together, and to
annihilate his reason by their con-
tact, to find himself unlurt by the
roadside, staring dizzily at what
had once been two electric cars. He
recalled, wanderingly, without
knowing why, a day when as a
small boy his father had taken him
to see cyclorama of Gettysburg.
That scene had been far more real
to him than was the one upon
which he now looked. Yet here
men ran hither and thither, shout
ing. calling, cursing, and through
all the horror and confusion there
rose and fell dull monotonous,
moaning accompaniment of human
pain. punctured by sharp cries of
agony.
What reused Heatherington was
the sight of Bernstein-Bernstein,
with the crownless rim of his hat
damned down over his ears, with
one sleeve partly torn from his
coat, his face streaked with blood
and sweat. working with the pc
culiar self-abandoment and ten
acity of his race.
Even while Heatherington look
ed he picked a baby from the mass
of wreckage. The child was ap-
parently unhurt, though its breath
came in swift, soundless gasps of
terror One small hand chung
tightly to the broken neck of MUIR
sing bottle. Particles of the frail
glass stuck to the muslin of its
little dress. Bernstein set the baby
down gently amid some soft grass
and returned.
Here, Heatherington," he
called, "help me if you're even half
alive. I've got to find thee kids
mother"
Confusedlv Heatherington took
a few steps forward. Then as he
stopped the low moaning of a wo-
man separated itself from all other
sounds and pierced his conscious
ness. Something within him seemed
to snap and his brain cleared in
stantly For the first time in all
his self-contained. reserved life the
cry of humanity-of humanity

"Hullo, old mani" The thin
hand of the little Hebrew came
jocularly into contact with his
back.
"Hullo."
Heatherington did not raise his
eyes. He would like to have
shaken off the intimate touch.
Bernstein's habit of buttonholing
him on every occasion was odious
to him. Still, business interests
demanded that he should maintain
at least an appearance of civility.
There were times when he almost
wished that it were possible to
offend the little broker. More
than once he had thought, with
sigh of relief, that the thing was
done. But always at their next
meeting he encountered, with
shock of surprise, the same smile
in the inscrrtable dark eyes.
"Whew!"
Bernstein took off his hat and
wiped his forehead. Then his
hand sought the lapel of Heather
ington's coat.
"Say, buy L. S. & M. She's
bound to go up" he advised.
"You know | don't dabble in
stocks Heatherington answered,
coldly.
The broker thrust his hands into
his pockets and sank his head be-
tween his shoulders, as much as to
say, Everyone to his TASTE
Heatherington moved away as their
car rounded into sight, and, with
sigh of self-congratulation, slip
ped into the one vacant place on a
rear seat, while Bernstein crowded
in ahead.
There was miles stretch of
ground, when the city was left well
behind, where the track ran
through private land and left it
by a sharp curve. Heatherington,
raising his eyes after three quar-
tiers of an hours absorption in the
days news, saw that they were rae
ing towards this bend with that
license which the usually careful
motorman allowed himself here
Ere the latter could slacken down
for the curve something appeared
around it which froze the blood in
the veins of those who looked.
There was a harsh, ominous sound
of grinding wheels as the man

a DAM
Tobe Built at KiIbourn Within
TWO Years.
From Thursdays Daily.)

A public meeting was held last
night in the city hall at Kilhourn to
consider a proposition from Phil.
Spooner of Madison, relating to the
kiIbourn water power, of which he
is owner. Mr.. Spoo1er had requested
an expression of,the sentiment of the
community permitting him to con-
struct a dam in accordance with a
charter recently granted by the
legislature, such expression to carry
with it a recommendation to the
government in favor of a dam with
out locks.
Tie meeting was attended by
representa- atives of all classes of the
community, and the hall was filled.
Speeches were made by we'll known
citizens who all heartily indorsed
the proposition of Mr.. Spooner.
Suggestions of a water power to the
exclusion of river navigation and in
preference to all other interests
were enthusiastically applauded.
In return for the support and ap-
proval of the people. Mr.. Spooner
bound himself in a personal bond of
$500Otoconstruct the dam within two
years, provided he was not obliged
to put in locks. A petition to this
affect was signed by about all pre-
sent

west of the Meyers mill in a remote
part of the bluff at some time in
the past excavation of no limited
extent was made. By means of a
lantern they followed the tunnel
into the bluff for a considerable dis
tance. The drift was under big
rock and this was probably the
direction of the vein. The timbers
were much decaYed and evidently
the work had been done some years
ago. The broken rock had been
washed into the waters of Otter
creek which flows but a short dis
tance from the mouth of the ex-
cavation. Mr.. Abbott reports
that full investigation will be made
of the place to find out whether or
not some miner had been working
there in the past.
