HiIO's White Devil

poet. His antecedents were unknown.
but he lived luxuriously at the best
hotels and was known as a high roiier
and all around sport. 1 remember MS
name. for 1 had a passing acquaintance
with the man, it was Hanley, Edward
Hanley.
well the engagement was announc-
ed and of course young Hanley
friends We're all against it, But 1t was
a delicate subject to bring up and as
she had money 1 really think that most
of the young bloods about the foreign
colony envied Hanley.
THIRD SPOUSE FOUND DEAD.
Did he die, too? Yes. he did. He
was found in his hotel on the morning
of his wedding day cold and ineless
the whole top of his head blown on
with a revolver that he still clutcneo
in his hand His trunk was in con-
fusion and a pile of charred envelopes
in his CRATE made it appear that ne
had destroyed all his letters. At least
never a clue to his real identity was
found, for everybody knew that back
in the States he had answered to !,
different name than Hanley.
ct was a clear case of suicide, OUT
1t set all Honolulu agog. There was
no end of the talk. Some of Hanley'
young friends even went to the wo-
MANS home and in a face to face IN.
| terview accused her of being respon-
| sihle for his death. She did not dare
| to appear at the funeral and Honolulu
society-even it's most Bohemian caste
was hot against her, although, MIND

to connect her with any of the deaths.

/ and gave it up in disgust.
FLED FROM HONOLULU.
"Soon after that she left Honolulu
| she was practically driven away, for
when she appeared in her carriage on
| the parade three months after Han
| leys death the crowd left her like
| leper and the cry of murderess was
raised once or twice. She left Homo
lulu and bought an estate at the island
of Hilo. She still lives there and her
big white house on the cliffs under
the mango trees is called the Lair OF
the Beautiful White Devil by the ma
tives, and passing sea captains often
point it out and tell the story
! $4,000 FOR A HUSBAND.
''Now here comes the nub of the
story. 1 know-never mind how-that
this woman will deposit $4,000 in any
bank to the credit of any man VINO
will marry her. The man must be full
blooded white, of good family and able
to hold his own in any society. This
is generally known throughout the Ha-
waiian Islands, but although they are
full of the Bohemian class and adven'
turers from all parts of the world nc
man has ever tried to win the hand
| and incidentally the fortune of the
White Devil And she is beautiful
young man, she is as beautiful wo'
man as ever saw.
what is my theory? I have ne
theory. Do i think they were nur'
! dered? I have no reason for 50 pc
lleving The police and those most in
tere sted have closely inves+ igared tbt
n after. The woman was never arrest
ell by them. Yes, she had morley, what
OF that? Hot FLOODED young men like
Hanley's friends could not be bough
of wholesale. Read Conan Doyie's
story, he is somewhat of an expert OF
crime, read John Barrlng+nn C"wles
and see what he says. The Wars
Devil is the original of his story.
A MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN,
what did the woman Look like? /
is hard to describe a beautiful woman
I can simply say that she was tn
most beautiful woman l ever saw
Short, about five feet two, perfectl
formed, creamy complexion with
tinge of olive in it, long, luxurlan
curling black hair and-this is tn
truth--a piercing clear grey eye. How
old was she? Perhaps 35 when l frs
) met her. You can't tell-a woman Xix
that keeps her youth indefinitely
Now you have your story. VIVA
: do you make of it. / am going to bee
but remember young man, if you eve
need $4,000 buy a ticket to Hawai-
It's still waiting"
