Lively Times at School.

II was very sorry TO leave school. We
certainly had gorgeous times there.
II think the best things l ever had to
eat in my whole life were the ones We
used to get from the teahouse across the
road on forbidden days.
You see, there were two days In the
week when we were at liberty to go over
there: but somehow things never seemed
TO taste half so good on those days as
when one of the maids struggled them
to us through knothole in the floor.
1--WE seniors, twenty-one Of us. used to
sit at one table. without any of the teach
ers, and had simply hilarious times. One
evening at dinner some one suggested that
we should see If we couldn't pile all the
tumblers on the table on top of one an
other. So we started to pass them
around the table. each girl adding hers
as they came along. We had got almost
half way around and had pile of eight
or nine. when. all of sudden. one of
the girls sneezed and over they went
onto the floor, with Miss Brownells eye
fairly glued TO them.
1--WE were all invited into the princi-
pals room that evening. 1t wasn't a So
cial affair, either. There was a poem
written about it. One verse ran some
thing like this:
And fhen Miss BrcwnelI our principal,
In righteous wrath she swore
That the special senior table
Should now exist no more.

Below in the coat room Claiborne was fastening the frogs of hls military overcoat when Armitage, who had waited for the opportunity, spoke to him.
 That story is lie, Claiborne. That man never saw me or my cigarette case in Berlin, and moreover, was never at Bar Harbor in my life gave you some account of myself on the King Edward. Every word of 1t is true"
 You should face him-you must have 1t out with him"' exclaimed Clai- borne. And Armitage saw the conflict and uncertainty in the officers eyes.
 But the time hasn't come for that
 'Then if there is something between you"- began Claiborne. the doubt now clearly dominant.
 There is undoubtedly great deal between us. and there will be more before we reach the end"
 Dick Claiborne, was a perfectly frank. outspoken fellow. and this hint of mystery by man whose character had just been boldly assailed angered him.
 Good God. man! I know as much about Chauvenet as I do about you. This thing is ugly. as you must see. I don't like 1t. tell you! You've got to do more than deny a circumstantial story like that by fellow whose standing here is as good as yours. If you don't offer some better explana- ton of this by tomorrow night shall have to ask you to cut my acquaintance and the acquaintance of my familyw
 Armitage's face was grave. but he smiled as he took his hat and stick.

He sent O message to Armitage quietly
 Oscar Breunig and turned away.
 He was not among the others of the Claiborne party when they got into their carriage to go to the ball. He went. in fact, to the telegraph office and sent message to Oscar Breunig. Lamar, Va, giving notice of his com ing.
 Then he returned to the New Amer ican and packed his belongings.

letters andnews- hgnc,,
 papers, which he
 delivered to him in silence.
 ''This is Lamar postoffice," announc- ed Oscar.
 .There must be some mail here for me-" said Armitage.
 Oscar handed him several long en- velopes-they bore the name of the Bronx Loan and Trust company, whose office in New York was his permanent address. and he opened and read a number of letters and ca5legrams that had been forwarded Their contents evidently gave him satisfaction. for he whistled cheerfully as he thrust them into his pocket.
 You keep in touch with the world. do you, Oscar? It is commendable."
 T take Washington paper. It re- lieves the monotony, and l can see where the regiments are moving and whether my old captain is yet out of the hospital and what happened to my i lieutenant in his court martial about the pay accounts. One must observe the world-yes. At the postoffice back there"-he jerked his head to indicate .'it is against the law to sell whisky in postofice, so that storekeeper with the red nose and small yellow eyes keeps 1t in brown jug in the back room"
 ITO be sure," laughed Armitage. "I hope it is good article"
 Tt is vile.' replied Oscar. His brother makes 1t up in the. hills. and it is as strong as wood lye."
 "Afoonshine! I have heard of it We must have some for rainy days"
 It was new world to John Armi- tage. and his heart was as light as the morning air as he followed Oscar along the ruddy mountain road. He was in Virginia, and somewhere on this soil. perhaps in some valley like the one through which he rode, Shirley Clai- borne had gazed upon blue distances. with ridge rising against ridge. and dark pine covered slopes like these he saw for the first time He had left his affairs in Washington in a sorry mud dle. but he faced the new day with buoyant spirit and did not trouble him. self to look very far ahead. He had definite business before him. His ca- blegrams were reassuring on that point The fact that he was in sense a fugitive did not trouble him In the least. He had no intention of allowing Iu1ou Chouropaf,S a cuo rcfno fa rff1 him or of being locked up in a Washington jail as the false Baron von KisseL If he admitted that he was not John Ar mitage it would be difficult to prove that he was anybody else-a fact touch ing human testimony which Jules Chauvenet probably knew perfectly well.
 On the whole. he was satisf3ed flat De had followed the wisest course thus far. Thethroad panorama of the morn fnx hills q dmmunicated to his spirit

edge as interpreted in such literature. He could tell you without leaving his room and probably without opening his trunk the quickest way out of Tokyo or St. Petersburg or Calcutta or Cinch Tight. Mont, if you suddenly re- ceived cablegram calling you to Vi enna or Paris or Washington from one of those places.
 Such being the case. it was remark able that he should have started for a point in the Virginia hills by way of Boston. thence to Norfolk by coastwise steamer and on to Lamar by lines of railroad whose schedules would have been the despair of unhardened travel CTS. He had expressed his trunks di- rect and travelled with two suit cases and an umbrella. His journey since his boat swung out into Massachusetts bay had been spent in gloomy specula- tions. and two young women booked for Baltimore wrongly attributed his reticence and aloofness to grievous disappointment in love.
 He had wanted time to think-to pon- der his affairs-to devise some way out of his difficulties and to contriye the defeat of Chauvenet Moreover, his relations to the Claibornes were in an ugly tangle. Chauvenet had dealt him telling blow in a quarter where he particularly wished to appear to ad- vantage.
 He jumped out of the day coach in which he had accomplished the last stage of his journey to Lamar just at dawn and found Oscar. with two horses, waiting.
 Good morning" said Oscar, salut- ing.
 You are prompt. sergeant" And Ar mitage shook hands with him.
 AS the train roared on through the valley Armitage opened one of the suit cases and took out pair of leather leggings. which he strapped on. Then Oscar tied the cases together with a rope and hung them across his saddle bow.
 "The place-what of itY' asked Armi- tage.
 There may be worse. I have not decided"
 Armitage laughed aloud
 'Is it as bad as thatf
 The man was busy tightening the saddle girths. and he answered Armi- tage's further questions with soldier like brevity.
 You have been here"-

 nostrils showing white on the air. The far roar and whistle of the train came back more and more faintly, and when 1t had quite ceased Armitage sighed, pushed his soft felt hat from his face and settled himself more firmly in his saddle. The keen air was as stimulat- ing as wine. and he put his horse to the gallop and rode ahead to shake up his blood.
 Ut is good" said the stolid cavalry man as Armitage wheeled again into line with him.
 "Yes, it is good" repeated Armitage. A peace descended upon him that he had not known in many days. The light grew as the sun rose higher, blaz- ing upon them like a brazen target through deep clefts in the mountains. The morning mists retreated before them to farther ridges and peaks. and the beautiful gray-blue of the Virginia hills delighted Armitage's eyes. The region was very wild. Here and there from some mountaineer's cabin light penciling of smoke stole upward.
 They once passed boy driving a yoke of steers. After several miles the road. that had hung midway of the rough hill. dipped down sharply, and

sharply arrested. and they came to barred wooden gate. and beside it a small cabin, evidently designed for a lodge.
 ''This is the place. sir" and Oscar dismounted and threw open the gate.
 The road within followed the rough contour of the hillside that still turned downward until 1t broadened into a wooded plateau. The fiutter of wings in the underbrush. the scamper of squirrels. the mad lope of fox. kept the eye busy. A deer broke out of hazel thicket. stared at the horsemen in wide eyed amazement. then plunged into the wood and disappeared.
 There are deer and of foxes a great plenty" remarked Oscar.
 He turned toward Armitage and add ed with lowered voice:

growing elation. He began singing in German ballad that recited the sor- rows of pale maiden prisoner in 8 dark tower on the Rhine, whence her true knight rescued her after many and fearsome adventures. On the last stave he ceased abruptly. and an ex- clamation of wonder broke from him.
 They had been riding along narrow trail that afforded, as Oscar said, a short cut across long timbered ridge that lay between them and Armitage's property. The path was rough and steep, and the low hanging pine boughs and heavy underbrush increased the difficulties of ascent. Straining to the top, new valley, hidden until now, was disclosed in long and beautiful vistas.
 Armitage dropped the reins upon the neck of his panting horse.
 Tt is fine valley-yes?' asked Os- car.
 Tt is possession worthy of the no- blest gods!'' replied Armitagt. There is white building with colonnades away over there. Is 1t the house of the reigning deityw
 Tt is not. sir" answered Oscar. who spoke English with kind of dogged precision, giving equal value to all words. Tt is a vast hotel where the rich spend much money. That place at the foot of the hills-do you see ?-it is there they play a foolish game with sticks and little balls"-
 Golf? Is 1t possibley'
 "There is. no doubt of it, sir. have seen the fools myself-men and wom- en. The place is called Storm valley"
 Armitage slapped his thigh sharply, so that his horse started.
 "Yes; you are probably right. Oscar. I have heard of the place. And those houses that lie beyond there in the val ley belong to gentlemen of taste and leisure who drink the waters and ride horses and play the foolish game you describe with little white balls."
 T could not tell 1t better" responded Oscar. who had dismounted, like a good trooper, to rest his horse.
 And our place-is it below there?" demanded Armitage
 Tt is not, sir. It lies to the west. But man may come here when he is Lonesome and look at the people and the gentlemen's houses. At night 1t is a pleasure to see the lights. and some times. when the wind is right. there is music of bands"
 Poor Oscarr' laughed Armitage.
 His mood had not often in his life been so high.
 On his flight northward from Wash ington and southward down the Atian- tic capes. the thought that Shirley Clai- borne and her family must now believe him an ignoble scoundrel had wrought misgivings and pain in his heart, but at least he would soon be near her even now she might be somewhere be- low in the lovely valley. and he drew of his hat and staaed down upon what was glorified and enchanted ground.
 Let us go," he said presently.
 Oscar saluted. standing bridle in hand.
 You will find 1t easier to walk" he said. and, leading their horses. they re- traced their steps for several hundred yards along the ridge. then mounted and proceeded slowly down again until they came to a mountain road. Pres ently high wire fence followed at their right. where the descent was

CHINESE ALOHA WIN
SHUT0UT GAME
Fastest Contest Yet
Witnessed At
Aala Park

In one Of the fastest baseball games
ever played in the Riverside Junior
League, the Chinese Aloha, Jrs., yes
terday scored another shut.out at
Aala Park by defeating the Oriental
A. c. by the score Of 3 to 0. Scorer
Rapoza umpired the game and made
himself popular in that position among
the fair sex present. His decisions
were up to those OF Bert Bowers Of the
senior league.
The first inning started with Ahop
at bat for the Orientals and he died at
first. Aiona walked Hong Chack, who
went to second on a passed ball by
Catcher Tom Yen, but was put out in
an attempt to steal third. Both Apau
and Mark reached the initial base on
poor fielding of the Alohas and Loo
Hon ended the inning by going out
from short to Quon Chew. In the Alo,
has half of this inning McShane hit
safe over second, stole that sack on
poor throw of the catcher, Kealoha
struck out and Quon Chew sent O
beaut between short and third, adj
vancing McShane to third. Ho Lin
followed Kealoha to the bench after
trying in vain to hit Pitcher Alloys
curves three times. Tom Yen made
the third hit in this inning and scored
McShane. Hipp got first on four bills
and Chew scored on a passed ball
Aiona flew out to Chang Yau at right
field.
In the fourth inning the Alohas
scored another run, making the score
to 0, after keeping the Oriental:
from scoring single run for the rest
Of the eight innings.
The second game, between San
Hops cracks, the Aalas, and Jaci
Flores team, the Sweet Violets
caused a good deal of fun to the tive
or three thousand spectators present
Sam Hop was playing at right fielC
and some of his work there was NOR,

TIE S0CKER GAME .t.as
At MAKIKI GROUNDS

Makiki Park was the scene of a
cracking good game OF socker foot
ball last Saturday between teams Of
the Honolulu Football Association. 1t
was hard game all the way through
but the teams were SO evenly match
ed that neither one could win, and
the game ended with the score to l.
Saturdays contest showed the men
of the teams to be In much better
condition and training than they
have been heretofore this year. They
played together better and each in
dividual became merged into the
team, not trying to win the game all
by himself. All of the scoring was
done in the first half. In the second
half the Picked Team seemed to have
the better OF 1t, as they kept the ball
in the enemy's territory a great part
of the time, but Jameson, at goal for
the Thistles, prevented any chances
of their scoring. e..
The star of the game was r. Cat
ton, at forward for the Thistles,
though his work was closely followed
by Gray. Other good performers
were as follows: Mon Yin, Woo, Fer
nandez, Clarke, Davis, and others.
The teams lined up as follows:
