erything by force. That means that
we shall all be killed, except, per-
haps yourself"
Dorothy shuddered as the meaning
OF the words penetrated. Mendoza
had made 1t all too apparent that he
loved her, and 1t was to escape his
unweicome attentions that she had
moved from the capital to the mines.
Dick Elmore had come down with
Gregory Tenant to have a hand in
the management Of the mine. They
had discovered gold in the mountain
two years before, and had formed a
company In New York to work the
deposit by hydraulic process.
A few years more and Gregory and
Dick would be able to sell out to the
company and go back home. Dorothy
had come down to San Cristobal to
be near them, to share their hard
ships and cheer them up.
Now Mendoza would force them to
begin all over again, II, indeed, It
were possible to make q fresh start
after he and his accomplice had fed
to Europe. They had sunk every
thing in the mine.
For moment her eyes roamed
over the dreary landscape while her
active brain puzzled over the sftua-
top.
Golden Bulch was not an attrac-
tive sight, the sides scanned with
scars made by the huge Jets Of water
drawn from the lake 400 feet above.
Even now huge stream was biting
into the side wall of the gulch, tear
Ing away great masses Of gravel.
For q moment she watched t.:
then with little cry she turned to
Tenant.
"You have better than a dozen
regiments If you will let me take
charge. Have you telegraphed the
consult"
Tenant nodded. 1T will be four
weeks. at best, before We can get
help from home"

message showing the urgency of
the matter. Talk * better than telee-
raphy every time. There must be

ordered. Have them go tonight"
Tenant gasped. I'VE shall need
every man we have" he cried. I'VE
can trust them"
What Is the use of feeding them
when we do not need them?" she
asked. with them away we can
hold out for three months"
An hour later the men began to
leave the pass. The gulch was al
most circular in form and about a
mile In diameter. At the southern
extremity there was a pass some 30
feet wide with towering sides. This
formed the only outlet, and II was an
easy matter for a single gatekeeper
to check OF the men as they went
past.
AS soon as they were gone the
small handful of Americans left went
to work. Until long after midnight,
the forge fires blazed and the clang
OF hammer on metal rang out; then
the camp was still and save for the
man on duty at the pass the tired
workmen slept.
The next noon Mendoza and his
gorgeous staff rode up. Tenant and
his little band were waiting for them
outside the pass.
"You have decided?" asked Men,
doza gayly. ri am sure that two such
clever men will have seen the situa-
tion."
1--WE have considered the situation
very Closely" said Tenant gravely.

John d. Rockefeller's Defense
of Our Girls Feet.
SMALLER THAN FRENCH WOMBNs

DR.. Bfggar Tells How Their Feet
Distressed the Multimillionaire, but
French Consul General Says,
ma fol! What Does ne Mere Money
Maker Know Of such Thingss"
John d. Rockefeller has put his
foot in it, or, to be more accurate. he
has put the American woman's foot
into the white light Of temporary fame,
says the New York American. He in
sists that # is about the only thing that
gets smaller by comparison with things
on the other SIDE
He prides himself on his American
ism, and while abroad he studied every
thing in sight with view to compar
ing 1t with the same product in his OWL
native land.
Whether he began with the foot or
the hat Of the French woman in draw
ing his comparisons Is not known, but
that he observed both is quite beyond
discussion, for this Is what he has to
say on the subject, or at least what
DR.. H. F. Biggar, who accompanied
him on bis recent trip to France, to
Compiegne, states that Mr.. Rockefeller
said regarding my lady's foot:
"The upper classes Mr.. Rockefeller
found charming" says DR.. Biggar.
1--WE We're agreed that the French wo-
men are not beautiful, but they have q
vivacity not found In women here.
They know the art Of dress, the exact
angle of hat for the most becoming
tilt, the proper blending Of colors in
everything they wear.
"But their feet! Oh, dear, their feet
distressed us. Their shoes are too
large and they do not fit. If they dress
ed their feet as well as they do their
heads they would be the most charm
ing women in the world"
Now American women take that as
fine piece of gallantry, Of loyalty, on
Mr.. Rockefeller's part. It indirectly
states that the American woman has
a small, well formed foot and a well
fitted shoe.
HE must mean to compare our feet
with those Of the French women" said
q woman in discussing the matter the
other day, "for what other women can
John D. Rockefeller draw comparisons
with? That means we have pretty.
well formed feet, doesn't itT' she ar
gued.
On the other hand, the acting French
consul general at New York, NJ. Lucien
Bonzom, laughed heartily at Mr. Rookie
feller's opinion Of the French woman's
foot.
"Ma fol-" said he, what, to begin
wiz, does Mr.. Rockefeller know of re

people as tho Great Dipper or simply
as The dipper. you have noticed. Of
course, that 1t appears to revolve
around the North Star, and 1t IL hard,
perhaps. to convince yourselves that
1t does not really move. for you see it
in different position at every hour Of
the night
If you have studied astronomy, how
ever. you know that its apparent
change Of place Is due to the turning of
the earth on its own axis, which makes
1t appear that the Dipper is moving.
You VIII notice that the two outer stars
in the bowl Of the Dipper always point
to the North Star and that the handle
swings 'aropnd In giant circle. These
two stars are called the Pointers.
The Dipper Is seen In a different part
Of the sky at different seasons, as you
have also noticed perhaps, but do you
know why? That Is caused by the
earth's revolution around the sun.
Sailors and travellers watch the Dipper
SO closely that they can tell the hour

LIBEL IS
GENERALLY
SUSTAINED
JUDGE DOLE SUSTAINS THE 81
BERIA'S RIGHT TO LIBEL THE
DREDGER PACIFIC.

United States Judge Dole this after
noon gave a decision on exceptions in
the libel of the Pacific Mail steamship
Company against the dredger Pacific.
one of the exceptions is sustained but
the courts decision decides the prin-
cipal contentious i'm favor of the libel.
The suit is for $4,000 damages alleg-
ed to have been sustained by the
Steamer Siberia by fouling a cable said
to have belonged to the dredger.
Judge Dole decides that the act Of
the dredger, i'm moving its position,
whereby the cable is alleged to have
been dropped so that the Siberia fouled
it, was an act Of navigation such as
may be made the basis of a libel in
rem. The second ground of eXcep-
tiOn is sustained, the court holding
that there should have been some show
ing of the authority of Secretary Kle-
balm to sign for Hackfeld K Company
respondents.
A third ground that the damages of
100000 were not sufficiently specified, is
oVerruled.

NEW Law
IMPORTANT
TO HAWAII
AN ACT WHICH WILL ALLOW
PRODUCTION OF ALCOHOL HERE
FOR FUEL.

Among the bills in Congress this
session which may prove of great ad-
vantage to Hawaii is an act to place
fuel alcohol on the free list, taking off
both the customs and internal revenue
duties. This, it is believed, will make
possible the production of vast guam
tity of it here, for use on the planta-
tions, the alcohol being made from
material which is now waste. Three
or four million gallons a year might
be produced i'm Hawaii it is thought,
were there no tax on it, AS the law
is now, the tax is prohibitory.
Alcohol is used very extensively as
fuel in Germany but there is practi-
cally none made for fuel in America,
owing to the heavy internal revenue
tax and importation is stopped by the
customs duties. On all the plantations
here, there is a vast amount of ma
terial from which alcohol might be
made, going to waste.

Col. ]. w. Jones is to retire from
the command of the Hawaiian Ma
tional Guard, after long service in that
capacity. The matter was discussed
by the color-.l and Acting Governor
Atkinson last week, with the result
that some changes are to be made in
the formation of the local regiment, to
make it conform to the American sys-
tenn founded on the regular army. The
colonel will become Ordnance officer
and Inspector of Rifle Practice. Lieut..
Colonel Zeigler will be the commanding
officer of the regiment.
The changes are being made with a
view to dividing the regimental work
of looking after military property and
to systematic the work under depart
ments, as is done in the various states.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-03-12

Here the work has all devolved upon
the colonel n command, and Col. Jones
has had 10 0've a lot of time to it,
more, in fact, than he says he is able
to continue giving.
The position of Quarternaster and
Commissary officer will be created and
Captain John w. Short will be select
ed to fill it. This will take work
which now falls to the commanding Of
ficer out of the latter's hands.
Zeigler, who is to be colonel in COM
mand is now lieutenant colonel and
the second in command and is there
fore in lire for the position of COM
mander.
The changes will call for several cleo
tions of line officers and an order will
soon be issued calleding the elections.
