of England she nearly tainted, for there lay
$4,000 in crisp new bills. She called in Miss
Nora Desmond, the housekeeper. They
counted the money and called the day
clerk, Charles G. Shaw, to have a look.
And then the story of romantic mar

Mr.. Scoiey lost no time in making his mis-

CHAPTER I-Continued.

The affair interested me greatly. Appar-
emily DR.. Schermerhorn was about to go on
a long voyage. I prided myself on being
fairly up to date in regard to the plans Of
those who interested the public; and the
public. at that time was vastly interested in
DR.. Schermerhorn. l. in common with the
rest of the world, had imagined him an
chored safely in Philadelphia, immersed in
chemical research Here he bobbed up at
the other end OF the continent making
shady bargains with obscure shipping cap
tains, aud paying a big premium for abso-
lutte secrecy. 1t looked good.
Accordingly I was out early the next
morning. 1 had not much to go by: schoon-
ers are as plenty as tadpoles in San Fran
cisco harbor. However, 1 was sure I could
easily recognize that falsetto voice; and
I knew where the supplies were to be pur-
chased. Adams & Marsh are a large firm,
and cautious. 1 knew better than to make
direct inquiries, or to appear in the sales

Enjoy Annual Picnic.

The annual picnic of the clerks in the
assessment division of the internal revenue
bureau was held at the home of Mr.. G. A.
l.. Merrifield and his sisters. the Misses
Tinnie and Belle Merrifeld, at Falls
Church, Va. last Tuesday evening. The
weather being inclement the picnic re-
solved itself into a house party. Upon the
arrival of the Washingtonians a lunch
dinner was served. Singing by the Poston
family and by Miss Katherine Bates and
Mr.. Barnes was enjoyed. Miss Cushman
and Mr.. Hollis furnished music.
Those participating were C. A. Bates and
family, Col. Robert Williams and family,
Capt. ]. c. Wheeler and family. the Misses
Fisher, Buttertield. Gary, Walker. Carr.

BABBITT AND
HIGH SCHOOL
Hopes to Find a Way to Build
Despite the Lanai
Case.

Superintendent of Public instruction
Babbitt still has it in his heart to
begin the erection of the new high
school building on the Maertens prop
erty, right away. The plans for the
building have been drawn and the spe-
cifcations prepared. The money for
the building must come out of the loan
fund, but apparently he sees no diff
Guilty in that. But Link McCandless
Lanai appeal stands in the way. Until
that case is decided by the Supreme
Court of the United States, the Ter
ritory of Hawaii can not know whether
it has a good title to the Maertens
property or not.
Mr.. Babbitt hopes to find some way
by which the Territory can be assured
of title in any event." said Governor

of the building. Until I hear from him

KA|zO GETS STILL
ANOTHER REPRIEVE

Governor Frear yesterday issued a
reprieve in the case of Morito Kaizo,
sentenced to be hung, until October %.
Kafzo was convicted May %, 1906, and
has already been reprieved several
times, the last reprieve setting Mon
day, August 26, as the date of his exc
cution.
The reasons for these various re-
prieves are that Kaizo has appealed to
the Supreme Court of the United
States, and the case has not been
heard there yet. His appeal is a test
of the question of whether Territorial
circuit courts have the right to nat.
uralize aliens, some of the members
of the grand jury which indicted
Morito having been naturalized by the
circuit courts of the Territory.
