Mortified, and yelling for help. Kane tore lat the
bars: but there was way of getting in, the door
being locked. He saw that the wolf had secured

claws were doing deadly work. Then the second
puma bounced, with screech, on the Gray Mas
tiers back, bearing him down.
At this moment Biddell rolled out from under the
raving, writhng heap. and staggered to his feet,
bleeding but apparently uninjured. With his fork
and his booted foot he threw himself upon the

After what seemed to Kane an age he succeeded in
the gate which he shut Then he returned to the
fight y -.
But he had little more to do now; for the fight
was over Though no wolf is supposed to be far

held his against his first antagonist alone. But
against the two he was powerless. The puma

ing body. Biddell forced the victor off and drove
him into corner, where he lay flashing his sides
with heavy, twitching tail.

was over He turned, and saw Kane's white face
pressed against the bars. With short laugh he
shook himself, to make sure he was all sound, then
pushed the body of the Gray Master gently with
his foot Yet there was respect not disrespect, in
the gesture.
Il wouldn't have had that happen for thousand
dollars, Mr. Kane!" said he, in a voice of keen re-
greet. THAT great beast, an we'll never get
another wolf to match him"
Kane was on the point of saying that it would
not have happened, but for certain circumstances
that it. was unnecessary for him to specify. He
realized, however. that he glad it had happened

he said something quite different
- :. Well, Biddel1, he's free! And maybe. when all

them for den, and closed the door them

fastened the strong door between this cage and
that of the Gray Master, and stepped through
leaving the door slightly aJar.
Biddel was armed, of course, with a heavy
pronged fork; but he carried it carelessly as he
went about his work, as if he had long since taught
the somber wolf to keep at a distance But to-day
the wolf acted curiousy. He backed away IN Sc
lence as usual; but eyed the man fixedly with
rather than fear The stiff hair rose slightly along
his neck and massive shoulders. Kane could not
help congratulating himself that he not in the
keepers place. But he felt sure that everything
was all right, as Biddell supposed to know his
business. - -.
When Biddell came to the place where the wolf
was standing the latter made way reluctantly; still

Kane found so impressive. He wondered it .Blddeh

him about it, through the bars, when he CHANGED
to glance aside to the cage of pumas Bidden,
in his foggy state of mind, had forgotten to close
an inner door connecting the two rooms in the
rear. The pumas had quietly passed through, and
emerged again into their cage by the farther en-
trance. Catching sight of the door into the wolf $
cage standing ajar they had crept up to it, and

two softly pushing it open.
KANE gave an inarticuate yell of warning. No
N words were needed to translate that warning
to the keeper, who SObered completely as ne
flashed round and what was happening. With
a sharp command he rushed to drive the pumas
back and close the gate. But one was already
through; and the other blocked the way.

COMMERCIALS
BOOSTER DINNER
Ninety We're Present and Some
interesting Speechs Were
Delivered.

The Commercial Club gave a boost
err dinner last evening. 1t was served
at o'clock and about ninety sat down
to it. The menu was an excellent one
"a good incentive to the frame of mind
which makes boosting easy and nat
ural.
President George w. Smith presided.
He told briefly what the booster"
dinner was. 1t was an occasion for
members to recall the things that were
going we'll and making Hawaii and
Honolulu better places to live in.
President Smith introduced as the
first Booster" Captain Parks, the en-
gineer of the Navy Department who
is doing things to Pearl Harbor. Cap
tain Parks declined to tell what he
was doing but said he hoped everybody
in Honolulu would come out and see
for themselves. He told what Pearl
Harbor was capable of in the matter
of providing accommodations for fleets,
and all 1t needed was a Strengthening
out of the channel which could be done
and would be done.
Judge Lindsay was the first assistant
booster and made a pleasant speech.
Fred w. Macfarlane was asked to tell
something about the finances of the
club, but he didn't, though he told
other things equally interesting.
Former Governor George r. Carter
made a very interesting speech about
Pearl Harbor and the tenacity with
which its possibilities had been studied
and urged.
Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell supplied some most
interesting and effective boosting ma
terial in a rapid account of the public
improvements that had been carried
on and completed in the past eight
years. He told of macadamized roads,
new wharves, the Nuuanu reservoir.
and public buildings in various parts
of the Territory.
The speechmaking of the evening was
concluded by Ed. -Towse who was call

HAWAIIAN SCENE IN
LONDON's GREAT SHOW

The following extract is from an ar
the exhibition of Oriental and African
scenes now being held in the Agricu1-
tural Hall:
The scene changes to India: the
scene-painters, by the way, have pro-
duced a great crescent-shaped pano-
ramic background. which rolls and un-
rolls from one end to the other, so that
the scene-shifting is reduced to it's
simplest form. An Indian d-wife
takes refuge with a missienary's wife
from the hated husband who claims
her. The appeal is useless, and she is
carried off weeping. Years pass, and
the same wife, now a widow, is led to
the funeral pyre, to be burnt alive
with her dead husband. This, it should
be explained, is supposed to be about
so years ago. AS the torches are
about to be applied a British official
marches in with a guard of Sepoys and
fCrbidS the sacrifice. Again the scene
changes to Hawaii, where the priest of
Pele breaks in on a wedding group
with his demand for the bridegroom
to be sacrificed to the volcano goddess
and avert her impending wrath. 1t is
the chieftainess Kapiolani who now
defies the priest, and taunts
his goddess as Elijah taunted BaaI,
leads the way up the mountain side,
crosses the forbidden tabu line. and
hurls the priestly staf into the flaming
crater, while the people raise a song Of
deliverance from immemoriaT tyranny.
At the close of this episode the choir.
Orienta1ly but simply robed and with
palms in their hands, ascend in pro-
cession and range themselves in a /
great semicircle on the stage. The
four contingents who have enacted the
various scenes now enter TO a quick
song. we come from the
gloom of the shadowy TRAIL to form
a human star. and the pageant closes |
with a triumphal Christian hymn

any definite arrangements for the
berthing of the vessels. but as many
will be taken to dock as can possibly
be accommodated. The matter of coal

coming apparent.

PREPARING FOR
THE ELECTIONS
Secretary's Office Busy---Some
Changes in the Precinct
Boundaries.

Politics and election affairs are ap-
parently in a slump on the street, but
the business of preparing for the vot-
ing this fall is going steadily ahead in
the office of the Territorial Secretary
The election proclamation will not be
made until towards the end of Sep
tember, but there is an immense
amount of work to be done between
now and then.
In the first place a number of re-
quests have been received for changes
in the location of the voting places.
requests for the establishment of new
polling places and requests for the
shifting of the precinct lines, and all
these have to be carefully considered.
The most radical change asked is the
rsdividing of the first and second pre-
cinct of the fourth. The line now runs
along Waialae road, Beretania avenue
and King street, cutting the districts
parallel with the sea; the request is
that the line be swung at right angles
so as to run from sea to mountain.
This will make a huge district out of
the first and a smaller one out of the
second to maintain a voting average
and will throw the headquarters of
both precincts as they stand into the
second precinct.
In the second of the fifth a number
of voters want new polling place de-
clared at the Waialee Industrial
School This precinct is about thirty
miles long and the waialee end have
now to go eighteen miles to vote at
Hauula About thirty voters are in
There has been a change decided
upon in the form of the statement to
be made under oath by applicants for
registration before the Board of Reg
istration. In former registrations there
has been brought up the question of
the registration of those who have
been convicted of criminal offenses.
This year there win be no question.
The form of declaration contains a
clause to be sworn TO stating that the
one TO be registered has not forfeited
mis- citizens rights.
There are some vacancies to be fill
"a on the Board of Registration and
he various parties have been asked
% nominate candidates for these va
,ancies. The parties have also been
asked to name candidates for appoint
nent as inspectors of election, but so
