Stories about banking accounts
owned by women, told in a London
newspaper, are funny reading. or
one who was informed that she had
o~yerdrawn her account, it is stated
that she wrote saying she was very
sorry. and inclosed a check drawn
upon the same bank, which she hoped
would set matters right. Another who
was called aside by the cashier and
told her accoun was overdrawn by a
pound rather had the best of 1t when,
taking a sovereign from her purse,
she handed it to the cashier, express
ing the sincere hope that her careless
ness had not financially distressed the
bank. Another story is told of a lady
who entered a well known bank and
presented a crossed check to the
cashier at the counter, expecting him
to cash 1t. After glancing at it he
looked up politely. Il am sorry | can
not pay this across the counter" to
which the lady replied sweetly, "Oh,

sweet peas in his hands, no; but II
you will take me | will give them to
her myself"
AT a garden gate a little further
down the road, a lady was standing,
shading her eyes from the glare of the
sun, and watching the white, dusty
roadway eagerly as if in search of
some one.
There was no need for words-one
look was enough. Over her face the
color swept, and then receded, leav-
ing it deathly pale. Miles laid the
sweet peas aside, and stretched out
his empty arms, while Helen Temple
ton crept into them at last-her hun
gering heart satisfied.
Agatha turned away abruptly. She
understood.
1T is all owing to a bunch of sweet
peas" Cathcart said when at length
he could speak. But for that we
might sttll have been apart"
And Helen acquiesced joyfully. From
thenceforth sweet peas were her fav-
orite flower.

when he reached the wayside station

too late for dinner. There was moth

the Station hotel, which meant a ram

shackle horse.
He learned from the driver as they
ioggled along the rutty and uneven
road that according to latest reports
Grayton was still alive, and was, IL
anything, a shade better, but nothing
had been heard of Nevins, and that no
body answering to his description had
been seen at any seaport or railway
station.
The whole neighborhood was in a
ferment of excitement, and had been
for the last three days. Nothing else
was talked about. Everybody was on
the qui vive, and women and children
were afraid to venture out of the
house after dark lest the would-be
murderer should pounce upon them
with an open knife.
Clement felt too excited to talk as
he neared home. 1t seemed a year at
least since he went away, and bis
heart felt quite hungry for a sight or
his mothers cold and placid face.
After London the place had a strange
ly forsaken appearance, and the
silence was almost oppressive. He
stood for a few moments at the gate
and listened. Now and then the low
boom of the sea came family over the
hills-that was all. No other sound
broke the stiffness.

here always" he reflected, and he
pushed open the gate and waited for
Sammy Granite to carry his kitbag up

Wilkins responded to his ring, for
some reason, with unusual alacrity,

INCREASE
HONOLULU GAS COMPANY ISSUES
$4,000 NEW STOCK TO ENLARGE
ITS PLANT.

An increase of $4,000 in the capital
stock of the Honolulu Gas Company
was decided on at meeting yester-
day Asked for particulars, William
r. Castle, president of the company,
said this afternoon:
"The Honolulu Gas Company had
special meeting on Thursday for the
purpose of considering an increase OF
the capital stock.
1T was decided to increase the same
by the issue of 500 new shares, at the
par value of $100 each. This will
make the capital stock $250,000, while
the companys investment including
the cost of franchise amounts to some
thing over 100000
"The new issue became necessary on
account of the requirement which has
developed of doubling the company's
manufacturing plant. The shares will
be offered to the present shareholders
in proportion to their respective hold
ings as the by laws require.
THE company's business has now
grown to very satisfactory proper
tion, and it will doubtless be inter
esting to those who take gas to learn
that the company finds that 1t is sell
ing gas cheaper than any of the coast
cities outside of San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Portland and Seattle, and at
about the same rate as in Los An
geles and Seattle.
"The plant now is taxed to its utmost
capacity, which is about 100000 feet
day and we propose to have a plant
here by January l which will make
10000 feet in the same time. Mr..

in the convention who cannot vote
openly,-it is beyond question that
many delegates are pledged to two or
more rival candidates for mayor.
All three of the candidates for mayor
are still claiming victory. Jack Lucas
said this morning that he easily had a
clear majority on the first ballot,-he
had the votes pledged. He was told
how the other candidates also thought
they had enough votes pledged. "Some
of the convention delegates you are
depending on to vote for you must be
lying" it was suggested. "Of course
they are," replied the belligerent Jack,
with characteristic wit, but they are
lying to the other fellows"

together to a certain degree, for it will
be to the interest of both to have a
fine road with a good grade through
this section.
The matter first came up, according
to Supervisor Frank Archer, who is
fathering it. from Captain Otwell,
who wanted the county to place the
road which leads to Puuloa in better
condition. Then a petition was
brought before the board from the peo-
pie of the district and the matter has
been taken up in earnest
The part of the road near Pearl Har-
Dor is quite level and will simply need
to sbe macadamized, but the end to-
wards town is in bad shape and a great
deal of grading will have to be done,
which will cause the cost to mount up
to a pretty high figure. 1t is possible
that the street railroad company may
be induced to share part of this work
with the county.
