HONOLULU, May 22.-Society is
divided against itself on the question
of whether Mr. Jack Tar of the At

ner for the ladies of the upper crust of
Honolulu.
Trouble has grown out of the plans
for the big ball for all the sailors of
the fleet to which the society leaders
here are expected to come and welcome
the sailors with open arms. But then
a rift in social circles appeared.
1.-The ladies of Honolulu will never
attend a ball at which they are expect
ed to dance with Sailors" said G. w.
Smith, a social light of the islands. This
caused the storm to break.
Now society is divided into two
camps. Among those who have an
nounced that they will be. at the ball
are Mrs. George r. Carter. wife of Ex-
Governor Carter. Il shall certainly at
tend the ball." she said. 1.-THE Ameri-

On the same evening as the events
recorded in the previous chapters,
about six O'Clock, just as the red
dusky afterglow was deepening into
twilight. Charlie Rolfe emerged from
Earl's Court Station, walked along to
the corner of Fopstone Road, and,

But. there was not a soul. Indeed
there was no sound beyond that OF a
distant cab whistle somewhere in
Nevern Square.
For about five minutes he waited,
glancing impatiently at his watch,
and then, turning upon his heel stroll
led along in the direction of the
Square.
A few moments later, however,
there hurried up behind him a sweet
dressed girl who, as he turned to meet
her, laughed merrily saying:

CHAPTER w.
1ich Is Distinctly Mysterious

Which Is Distinctly Mysterious,
Max Barclay, on leaving DR.. Petro-
witch, had taken a cab straight to
Charles chambers in Jermyn street,
arriving there shortly before six
Green, his man, had told him, however
that his master had returned soon
after luncheon, ordered two big bags
to be packed, and had left with them
upon a, hanson, merely saying that
he should be absent week, or per-
haps two, and that no letters need be
forwarded.
Max was not surprised at this sud
den departure. for old Statham had a
habit of sending his confidential sec
rotary hither and thither at almost q
moments notice. The old fellows fl
nancial interests were enormous, and
widely dispersed. Some of them were
in Servia and Bulgaria, where he held
concessions of great value.
He had had finger in most of the
! financial undertakings in the Near
East during the past fifteen years or
so. Out of the Oriental Railway ex-
| tension from Salonica to the Servian
frontier alone he had, it is said made
huge fortune, for he war the original
concessionaire. For some years he had
lived in the Balkans, looking after his
| interests in person, but nowadays he
entrusted it all to his agents with oc-
casional visits by his confidential
secretary.
Therefore Max suspected that Char
lie had left for the East. more espec-
tally that at the hour he had left
Jermyn street he could have caught
the afternoon Continental service from
Charing Cross via Boulogne.
So he went on to his own rooms,
changed, dined at the Automobile
club, his mind being full of what the
Doctor had told him concerning Char
lie and Maud. He had, of course, sus
pected it all along Marion knew the
truth, but, loyal to her brother she
had said no word. Yet when he had
seen Rolfe with the ex-statesman's
pretty daughter he had long age
guessed that the pair were more thar
mere friends.
That the Doctor disapproved of the
affair was somewhat disconcertine
more especially as he had openly de
clared that he had other ideas o
Maud's future. What were they

eff he really loves her. the circum-
stances of the case are altered was
the diplomatic answer.
And If he does not? If it is, as |
suspect, mere flirtation-what then? ,
Then | think you should leave the
matter to me, to act with my discre-
tion," young Barclay replied He
recollected that Charlie was Marion's
brother, and he saw himself already
in a somewhat difficult position. my
own idea is" he went on, that it is
something more than a mere Irritation,
and that the reason of the secret meet
ings Is because he fears to ask your
consent to be allowed to pay court to
your daughter"
What makes you think so?"
From some words that his sister
Marion let drop the other day"
'Ah! Marion is sweet and charm
ing girl" the elder man declared
What pity she should be compelled
to drudge in shop!"
EYES," replied Max, quickly. t'It is
a thousand pities. She's far too re-
fined and good for that life"
"a matter of unfortunate necessity
I suppose"
Necessity! Barclay bit his lips when
he recollected how very easily she
might leave that shop-life if she would
only accept money from him. But
how could she? How could he offer it
to her without insult?
No. Until she consented to be his
wife she must still reamin there, at the
beck and call of every irritating trades
mans wife who cared to enter the de-
partment to purchase a ready-made
costume or a skirt with material for
bodice"
I'm sorry for Marion" DR.. Petro-
witch went on "She frequently comes
here of an evening, and often on Sun
days to keep Maud company. They
get on most excellently together"
Yes; she is devoted to Maud. She
has told me so'
Il believe she isl Petrovitch said.
And yet it is unfortunate for friend
Illness with Marion must also mean

"Ah! l see now that you do not like

not now fail to see from his friends
expression that something had oc

make out.
No, don't" was the ex-Ministers
plain, determined answer. "And to

proper. Only request him neither to
