the hour of 3 a. M, when the wife Of

There is, hey" answered the hus-
band, now thoroughly awake. "I'll see
about him"
With cunning stealth he got out of
bed and tiptoed out of the room. For
ten minutes no sound broke the awful
stiffness. Then the house shook with

Aunt Abiatha. you mustn't Judge

And that was how most audacious
courtship came to be carried on right
under Aunt Abiatha's eyes.

one sunny morning as they sat to-

For few minutes the birds in the
garden had it all to themselves, so
suddenly still were the two people who
sat there.
"Gwendolyn." Jack finally found
himself asking in husky voice quite
unlike his own, do you really love it
down here-the quiet. lazy life we
lead?"
Gwendolyn nodded. but did not lift
her face.

Gwendolyn nodded again.

Especial Wireless to The Starr

HILO, January Though the wea-
ther was inclined to be rainy, yester-
day, and the track was, as a result,
somewhat heavy, with going none too
good for speed, a good crowd turned
out to see the first days sport of the
New Years racing program.
The first race started according to
program, this being the half-mile
Hawaiian bred attraction for a purse
of a hundred dollars. In this Elko
came in winner, Breakwater taking
second.
The one and one-quarter-mile Mer-
chants Stakes with $1,75O in sight,
aroused the liveliest interest.
The great race was arranged for
bunch of good horses OF island fame:
Aidion of Maui, Bruner of Honolulu,
Yola Girl of Honolulu, Frolic of Hilo
and Banonica of Hilo. There were
sports from Honolulu who had hopes
for Bruner, but Banonica of the Cres-
cent City took the honors, putting
Aidion, the Maui animal, in next place
and bringing Honolulus Bruner to
third place.

FROM THE
OLD WORLD

MI Edward NJ. Langley the special
representative of Nestor Gianaclis, the
famous cigarette manufacturer of
Cairo, Egypt, arrived here on the Korea
and is staying at the Moana Hotel. Mr..
Langley has been requested by Mons.
Nestor Gianaclis, to make a report on
the climatic conditions of the islands.
particularly in regard to packing the
celebrated Nestor cigarettes in such a
manner as to retain their full Turkish
flavor, for an indefinite period. It is
easy to understand the jealousy with
which this brand is guarded, when it is
considered that for more than thirty
years it has been the leading seller in
the European markets and numbers
among its patrons many of the royal
families throughout Europe. Monsieur
Gianaclis warm personal friend of the
present Khedive of Egypt, started life
as a cigarette roller and by his great
energy, and conscientious devotion to
an industry he loved, succeeded early
in life in establishing a business on
Nestor cigarettes throughout Europe
and the Orient. The factory in Cairo
is probably the finest in the world. To-
Gated as it is in the old Royal Palace.
and equipped with a modern restau-
rant and reading room for its hum
dreds of native employees. The enor-
nous import duty eXacted by the Unit
ed States government on imported ci-
garettes, together with a general de-
mand from every section of the United
States, led to the starting in Boston
of a branch of the Cairo establishment
which was completed and put in oper-
alton three years ago after having been
formally blessed by a prayer from the
priests of the Greek Ahmet. Mons.
Gianaclis visited Boston and person
ally supervised the construction OF this
factory and leaf vaults, the latter be-
ing under ground and probably the
only thing of the kind on the Ameri-
con continent.
Mr.. Langley has been instructed to
advice Mons. Gianaclis of any possi-
BILE Improvement in packing the fa-
nous Nestor cigarettes so that in fu-
ture as in the past, consumers OF this
brand will have the same delicate
aroma which make the Nestors a favo-
rite in the old world.

ANOTHER
MIX-UP
HAWAII COUNTY'S NEW SUPERVI-
SORS MUCH DISTURBED OVER
LACK OF A.JUDGE.

The Supervisors OF the County OF
Hawaii are in deep trouble difficulty
and have, in their distress, called upon
A. l.. c. Atkinson, in his official posi-
ton as chairman of the Republican
territorial central committee, for as
sistance and guidance 1t appears
that Judge Parsons, of Hilo, follow
ing the opinions of some of the best
authorities of the Territory in legal
matters, does not believe that he has
the authority to approve the bonds OF
the newly elected Board of Supervi-
sors. This naturally means that the
old Board will hold Office according
to law, till their successors qualify.
The Hawaii Supervisors have two
troubles staring them in the face. In
the first place, and most important,
If they are not able to qualify, on
account of the fact that the appoint
ment of Judge Parsons has not been
confirmed by the United States Sen
ate, they cannot draw their salaries.
In the second place, the old Board
will have the chance to spend the mo-
ney which it will get from the Ter
ritory during the month of January.
This is a prerogative of which the
members of the new Board are near
ly as jealous as of the drawing OF
their monthly stipend Wherefor they
naturally call upon Attorney and
Chairman A. l.. G. Atkinson.
Just how the matter will come out
is hard to say. Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Whitney believes that the judges
hold over till their successors qualify
