Austin Strand, tall, classically handsome, was an
artist whom the gods had not set their I'M
happy SEAL Exultation and despair were alike
strangers to him. Threnodora had once called
him beautiful theory; but that was before she
learned to love him. For almost year she had
been striving to tone down her discordant spirit
into harmony with his to bring into her life
little of his dignity and self-poise. To her ro-
mantle fancy he had come to be a noble ideal,
of flesh with beautiful nature and pure
soul, and that is rare.
But that unfortunate Salon medal!
Since the first of the month Austin had been
compelled to submit to dinners and fetes among
his fellow artists and his lady friends; had for
gotten his old phrase about Art, not for Arts sake
but for Gods sake, and had begun to speak of
myself and Millet" in that familiar way that
aroused every atom of disgust in Threnodora's
nature

"Tell her the truth! The shock would have
killed her instantly" the younger girl cried, her
eyes luminous with establishment.
Miss Strands face took on look of lofty con-
tempt.

great principle like truth?" she asked. mo lie is
justifable, matter what is at stake. Better
let Mrs. James die thousand times than violate
the divine principle of truth.
mo, not the divine principle, but the horrible
monster of Truth" Threnodora cried passionately.
II hate truth. 1t is terrible power that tries to
dominate and tyrannize over us because it is in
visible and we cannot cope with it. Truth makes
playthings of humanity What does Truth care
if days difference in the time of that
wretched old womans death would decide her
future for bliss or for damnation? I am willing
to look Truth in the face and say that did right
in lying to Mrs. James. Or-I am willing to Shout
der the sin of the lie. 1t isn't the only sin shall
have to answer for At any rate had the salts
faction of seeing tears of real repentance in that
poor old woman's eyes, and heard her pray for

This phase of Threnodora's nature by no

her. A moment she paused, at a loss for some fit

"Threny, you're outrageous!

The government, which once went
out of the manufacturing business, re-
turned to it when tobacco manufacture
ing was made d state monopoly, and
it has made some costly experiments
in a steel mill which was intended to
supply its own ship-yards and arse
mails. But as it is now the government
operates thirty-four manufacturing
concerns, employing over 100000 per-
sons, at average wages of twenty-five
cents a day.
Japan is burning with desire TO be-
come a great manufacturing nation,
despite the fact that it must always
depend largely upon other countries for
raw material. If those experts who
have studied the situation are to be
credited, this is one Japanese ambition
which will never be realized until the
japanese manufacturer begins to care
more for the health of his machinery
and less for the size of his dividend.

FIRST REHEARSAL Of

Tickets for EThe Rose Maiden are

would better redeem them at once.
from the number OF tickets sod, and
the number of exchange tickets still
out, the affair promises To be a big sue
cess in financial way. Its success as
a musical production of very high
order is already assured.
The first rehearsal of the full chorus,
which was held yesterday, was in every
way most satisfactory. Mr.. Living
ston, the director, found that the mem
bers of the chorus from the different
schools had all been trained thoroughly
and were perfectly familiar with the
score. He expressed himself as very
well pleased with the work done by the
teachers.
What was most remarkable, however,
was that the chorus was perfectly bal
anced in all the parts, and no adjust
ments were necessary. The singing at
this first full rehearsal was like a fin
ished production, and Mr.. Livingston
said that he could promise to give the
best exhibition of good chorus work
that has ever been heard in Honolulu.
The soloists are all in good voice.
Everyone in Honolulu is familiar with
the singing of Mrs. Bruce McV. Mae
kali, and those who heard Mrs. O'Day
sing last Sunday at the Central Union
church are very anxious to hear her
again in this beautiful cantata.
Chester Livingston, who has the bari
tone part, has sung in this piece be-
fore, and is thoroughly familiar with
it. His fine voice will be heard to great
advantage next Friday.

And every hour. ar the stroke of the

thousand dollars and a 15-minute talk
worth n thousand more to persons
with the proper cOnscfences, and he
felt that it was we'll worth giving
when the gate receipts were so large.
He came to think that it would
have been better for him if he had be-
gun to give sooner in life, and his
mouth grew less hard solely from the
human feelings that surged up in his
heart every time he handed out a
check for a thousand dollars and real
lied that the garden was packed at a
dollar per.
At the end of the week he had given
away $4,000 and had taken in
100000, and then, to show that
his regeneration was genuine, he hired
the garden for another week and
doubled the price of admission,
doubling also his gift.
And to show that he was no ingrata
he gave the reporter a season pass
and allowed him to interview him
every day.
