On Thursday evening, the goth, a
special meeting of the Makawao Polo
Club was he'd at the Peck and jamie
son cottage, Paia 1t was decided for
various reasons not to hold the inter
island polo contest on Maui. The sec
rotary, c. C. Krumbhaar, was instruct
ed to inform the Oahu club that Maui
was willing to play three games
against Oahu in August at Moanalua.
F. F. Baldwin was reelected captain
of the Maui club. Mention was made
of the offer of Hon. HI. P. Baldwin to
donate silver cup to the winners Of
contest between the Reds and the
Blues to be held on July at the Pafa
grounds.
1t was voted to begin practise for
the Oahu games on Saturday the 22nd,
thus disseminating the weekly contests
between the Blues and the Reds.
On Saturday afternoon, the 22nd, a
probable Oahu team" took the field
at Paia against a team made up Of
the remaining club players. In this
lineup of a probable Oahu team Ha-
rold Rice played No. 1, C. c. Krumb-
haar, No. 2; F. F. Baldwin, No. 8, and
D. T. Fleming, No. 4.
F.. F. Baldwin and D. T. Fleming
will undoubtedly represent Maui at
Moanalua in August but it is still unT
decided who will fill the other two
positions.
Sam Baldwin, who has been in con-
slant practise at Yale and who is
fine player at No 1, is considered a
strong candidate for the team.
OF Saturday afternoons game no
regular record was kept but a team
of G. w Wilbur, D.. c. Hind
sy, L. Won Tempsky, B. v. Bazata and
Ed. Peck was unable to score against
the Oahu four. who made a number of
goals.

was passing now rapidly into oblivion. He was
| sobbng, and there was one blood stain upon
| his cheek. The school ground sounded like a
pine tree when a hundred crows roost in it
at night,
Then upon the situation there pealed a
brazen bell. 1t was a bell that these children
oteyed, even as older nations obeyed the form
al lay which is printed in calfskin. 1t smote
them into some sort of inaction; even Jimmie
was influenced by its potency, although. as
finale, he kicked out Justify into the legs of
an intimate friend who had been one of the
foremost in the torture.
When they came to form into line for the
march into the school room it was curious
that Jimmie had many admirers 1t was not
his proves; it was the soul he had infused in
TO his gymnastics; and he, still painting, look
ed about him with a stern and challenging
glare.
And yet when the long tramping line had
entered the school room his status had again
changed. The other children then began to
regard him as boy in disrepair, and boys in
dhIsrePalr ahs were always accosted ominousy from

Sinking attempt to dodge the perception of
the teacher and partly Of pure braggadocio

The teacher looked carefully down at him.

"Yes'm," he answered. with busnesske
briskness, which really spelled out falsity in
all its letters.
Come up to the desk.
He rose amid the awe of the entire school
room. When he arrived she said:

Jimmie looked at her gloomily. mo, 'm"
She seemed about to disintegrate to mere

blazing. "Well, you stay in after school until
you find out"
As he returned to his place all the children

fallen upon the house of Trescott. When he

| tempt, by an impossible means of strangula-
ton, to keep her important news from the
public.
The teacher, thoughtful young woman at
her desk upon the platform, saw a little scuffe
which informed her that two OF her scholars
were larking She called out sharply. The
command penetrated to the middle of an early
world struggle. In Jimmie's age there was no
particular scruple in the minds of the male sex
against laying warrior hands upon their weaker
sisters. But, of course. this voice from. the
throne hindered Jimmie in what might have
been violent assault.
Even the little girl was retarded by the
voice, but, without being unlawful, she man
aged soon to shy through the door and out
upon the play ground, yelling. "Oh, Jimmie
IrTescott's been writing to his girl"
ly as he was allowed by his knowledge OF the
decencies to be preserved under the eye Of
the teacher.
Jimmie himself was mainly responsible for
the "a scene which ensned on the play ground.
Il is possible that the little girl might have
run, shrieking his infamy, without exciting
more than. a general but unmilitant interest
These abarbarians were excited only by the
actual appearance of human woe; in that
event they cheered and danced. Jimmie made
the strategic mistake Of pursuing little Rose
and thus exposed his thin skin to the whole
school, He had in his covering mind vision
OF hundred children turning from their play
under the maple trees and speeding towards
Upon him drove yelping demoniac mob, to
which his words were futile. He saw in this
mob boys that he dimlY knew, and his deadly
enemies, and his retainers, and his most intim-
ate friends. The yirulence of his deadly enemy
was no greater than the viruence of his in
innate friend. From the outskirts the little
informer could be heard still screaming the
news, like a toy parrot with clock work inside
CT it. 1t broke up all sorts of games, not So
much because of the mere fact of the letter
writing, as because the children knew that
some sufferer was at the last point, and, like
little blood-fanged wolves they thronged to
the scene of his destruction. They galloped
about him shrilly chanting insults. He turned
from one to another, only to meet with howls.
He was baited.
Then. in one instant. he changed all this
with blow. Bang! the most pitiless of the
boys near him received punch, fairly and
skillfully, which made him below out like a
walrus. and then Jimmie laid desperately into
the whole world. striking out frenziedly in all
directions. Boys who could handily whip him,
and knew it, backed away from this onslaught
Here was intention serious intention. They
themselves were not in frenzy, and their cool
er Judgment respected Jimmie's efforts when
he ran amuck. They saw that it really was
none OF their affair. In the meantime the
wretched little girl who had caused the bloody
riot was away, by the fence, weeping because
boys were fighting.

cerning her desk. Parentheticaly it might be
stated that she was in the habit of imagining
this desk to be a house. and at this time, with
an important little frown. indicative of prop
er matron, she was engaged in dramatizing her
ideas of a household.
But this small Rose Goldege happened to be
of family which numbered few males. 1t
was, in fact, one of those curious middle-class
families that hold much of their ground, retain
most of their position. after all their visible
means of support have been dropped in the
grave. 1t contained now only a collection OF
women who existed submssively dehantly, Sc
curely, mysteriously, in a pretentious and often
exasperating virtue. 1t was often too trlum-
phantiy clear that they were free of bad habits.
However, bad habits is term here used IN a a
commoner meaning, because it is certainly
true that the principal and indeed solitary Joy
which entered their lonely lives was the Joy
of talking wickedly and busily about their
neighbors. 1t was all done without dream Oh

deed it was simply a constitutional but not

typical little girl who discovered Jimmie Tres
colt agonizingly writing letter to his sweet
heart OF course all the children were the
most abandoned gossps, but she was pecullar-
ly adapted to the purpose of making Jimmie
miserable over this particular point. 1t was
her life to sit of evenings about the stove and
hearken to her mother and lot of spinsters
talk of many things. During these evenings
she was never licensed to utter an opinion
either one way or the other way. She was
then simply very little girl sitting open. eyed
ia the gloom, and listening to many things
which she often interpreted wrongly. They
on their part kept up kind of SNUG faced

detail of the widespread crime which pretence
may have been more elaborately dangerous
than no pretence at all. Thus all her home
teaching fitted her to recognize at once in Jim
mie Trescott's manner that be was conceahng
something that would properly interest the
world. She set up a scream. "Oh! Oh! OH
Jimmie Trescotts writing to his girl! Oh!

Jimmie cast miserable glance upon her--a
glance in which hatred mingled with despair.
Through the open window be could hear the
boisterous cries Of his friends his hoodlum
friends-who would no more understand the
utter poetry Of his position than they would
understand an ancient tribal sign language.
His face was set in truer expression of hor

to devote his whole life To kind of heroic COM

demons of the Ceryin were called Whymper and
CarreL" The native and the alien worked more
than once in cooperation but from the start
they were also rivals and ultimately triUmphed

jealousy of every foreigner approaching the
