night OF January l2. In its course It
crossed and destroyed a part OF the
Government road Oh the Kona side
of the flow OF 1887. Telephone poles
were swept down by the lava and traf-
hc was stopped, considerable forest
area being also burned and some pas
ture lands suffering on the Kahuku
ranch. The lava flowed in three streams
toward the sea, at. the rate of seven
miles an hour. The sight is grand and
magnificent
The flow of 1887 occurred on January
II OF that year, almost twenty years
ago to a day. Then 1t was accompa-
MED by frequent and severe earth
quakes. whereas there are now only
occasional slight tremors. 1t occurred
well up on the southwestern slope OF
the mountain at a point known as Po-
hakuohanalei, and ran through Ka-
huku to the sea. The grand sight In
duced several excursion parties, spe.
cial trips of steamers being required
for. the accommodation OF the excur-
sionists. But on January 81 It ceased
as suddenly as IL had begun. The
crater of Kilauea was reported slug
gish and inactive during the flow from
the summit crater, but 1t steadily In
creased in activity and resumed the
vigor it had prior to the suspension
of activity that occurred on March 6,

Meanwhile, Anuk. unsuccessful both
In Siberia and on the Alaska side of the
Arctic Ocean, had finally reached Point
Barrow. BY this time the few furs
with which he had hoped to tempt some
beautiful girl were gone, lost either
by unsuccessful trading. gambling or
by gifts TO possible conquests who ac-
cepted HIS gifts and then laughed at
his pretensions. For "the colonels
lady and Bridget OGrady are sisters
under their skins"
Reaching the Point Barrow settle
ment he found at last a girl that he
could get She was beautiful and so
nice and fat that he just couldn't help
loving her. But he had no whalebone,
no walrus tusks, no furs, no -four. And
it is necessary to have wealth where
with to buy an Arctic bride. But he
had health and strength and he sold
them both to gain his hearts desire.
The girls parents. the only ones that
she knew. agreed to give her to Anuk
IL he would work for them for two
years without wages other than what
food was necessary TO keep him in good
working trim.
For long, dreary winter worked
Anuk. He tramped for miles over the
snow-covered. frozen tundra, tending
his masters traps. He crawled over
the ice TO kill seal and walrus for his
master. In the early summer he risked
his life on the ice foes getting whale
bone for his master, while the other
men in the village were getting 1t for
themselves. When the supply vessels
came in August and September he
lugged coal and -four up the pebbly
beach for his master, or for wages paid
to his master. When the big schooner
was caught by the ice, late in septem-
Der. and crushed into a mangled mass
OF driftwood. Anuk helped tear the
wreck to pieces. and always for the
profit OF his master.
He grew shabbier and shabbier. But
what did he care? Was he not going
to have this lovely, fat girl for his
very own in one year more? She had
been kind to him. too. at first. although
she did not seem to be SO fond of him

the rents in his tattered clothing. He
was not SO strong as he had been DUR

fell sick and two or three times he
failed, through weakness, to do his
allotted work. The first time his mas

Blows were not nominated in the bond.
During the twilight of March, iust
before the break of day. one OF the
young men Of the village began visit
ing his masters house and IS prom
ised bride appeared to enjoy these
visits. But Anuk was not at all
alarmed. He was faithfully living up
to his part OF the agreement, and his
faith in his fellow man was so great
that lie knew the others would be
equally square with him.
He could not understand why his
young mistress sent him continuallv
on long errands, sometimes ten or
twelve miles away. These errands al.
ways seemed foolish or .unnecessary.
But IL was her wish. and that was
enough. 1t did not even occur to him

Anuk's betrethed on bis return, or that

Then came the whaling season. Anuk
lived out on the Ice and saw little of

FOR her and was content. The Bear or

peculiar There are, in fact, two vases.

slender. both resting on the same base.

instead there is cover In Chinese
workmanship carved in teak. There Is
also base of the same material ac-
curately fitted to the bottom OF tho
original. Under the foot OF the vase
plate of a different kind OF bronze
Is put in, and on this is the Chinese
inscription.
Mr.. Gump at once realized that he
had rare treasure from an archeolog-
ical point of view. Thinking that the
inscription might give some clue to It's
origin and history. he took the vase
