 Thank you for that" she answered, ready to have forgiven him almost everything for those simple, sponta- neous words.
 A little pause fell between them. which he in spite of his readiness hardly knew how to break.
 It was she who spoke.
 You've told me what is to done with my ship. Now, what will become of me?"
 This was the puzzling part of the question which he would fain have evaded, but there was no escape from the direct interrogation now.

 Like myself" commented the girl pathetically.
 Like yourself That makes me the more wishful to befriend you" he went on with the deep gravity befit ting such serious conversation. "In short, I cannot say just now what shall be your fate, but you may de. pend upon me, shall do the best I ! can for you.

 Yes, you Americans certainly know how to lay down swift keels."
 And to fight them, too," she burst out impulsively.
 Aye! that also. Indeed, I may say to you that deplore this war, and I wish to God that We could have ar ranged our differences amicably."

 T hope not" she answered slowly, unable, however unwilling, to with stand such winning courtesy and con- sideration.
 Now, you understand, of course, that you have the entire freedom of the vessel. If you will give me your fathers public papers you shall take charge of everything else that belongs to him. The inviolability of your cabin shall be respected by MT. Mer- ryfeld and myself, who are the only persons who will enter here, if I have to put sentry before the door,"

 T thank you, and if you have wish, you have only to express it. Now, with your permission, will look over the papers, the ships papers, and then, as it long past eight bells, I shall have dinner served here, and perhaps you will allow me the prlvi- lege of dining with you"
 The ship is yours. Why should I be consulted?" returned the girl bit terly.
 Nay, madam, until I have turned it over to the authorities at Portsmouth, 'tis yours, and save in the matter of laying the course I beg you so to re- gard it."
 You are very kind" said the girl, but you cannot alter the fact that you are master and I am your prison CT"
 She dropped her head on her hands where she sat leaning over the cabin table and slow tears trickled down her fingers. The young man thought that if affairs continued as they tended in one very definite sense he would be the girls prisoner and she would be the captor before the voyage was ended.

SNOWsHEDS OF CONCRETE.

"Railwavs in the West are preparing
to build immense snowsheds of concrete
this summer wherever there is any pos
sibiHty of a repetition of the recent
disastrous snowslides on lines in the
West, when trains We're swept from
their tracks. killing scores of passen-
gers. =" said Henry Gruber. an engineer
of the Northern Pacific Railway.
The Northern Pacific has many
dangerous passes in the Cascade and
Rocky mountains. where snowslides are
a constant menace in winter to the pas
senger traffic. There are many similar
danger spots along the line of the Can
adam Pacific At most of these places
the railways have long wooden snow
sheds, but these have not proved eff
fective in preventing accidents. In
many eases avalanches and immense
snowslides have swept these structures
completely away, though they were
built OF the most massive timbers that
could be obtained
1.-The roads have learned that wooden
structures won t DO. so this summer all
these snowsheds are to be replaced with
great concrete structures which VIII be
built so strong and enduring that even
a cyclone would not be able to bulge
them. People in the East who have
never seen one of the snowstorms of the
Rocky Mountains have no idea of the
immense mass of snow that covers
everything. and they cannot conceive
Of the violence Of an avalanche. -

Campaigned Carefully.

The liquor men S campaign was well
managed. The precincts had been care
fully canvassed. Maps were made and
the registered voters were listed care
fully and nearly all seen personally by
paid runners. The working place of
most of the Hawaiians was noted and
when shops were closed yesterday autos
picked up the workingmen and rushed
them to the polls.
Those who wished, went to the liquor
headquarters and procured streetcar
tickets. which had been bought in
blocks and were handy for distribution.
There was business air about the
headquarters. Every saloon man, from
the head of the brewerv-Bartlett, the
Beer-Sunday originator down to
the last hanger-on of the saloons was
on deck and at work. The heads of the
liquor mems campaign committee left
no loophole untouched. Lists of voters
were carefully checked off and when
FIVE clock came the lists had been
pretty well combed over.
The liquor men, although confident Of
victory during the afternoon, left no
stone unturned to get just another voter
to the polls. The returns came quickly
to the liquor men and within an hour
and a half they had complete returns
from every precinct on the island. save
the third Of the fifth, down in Hauula,
where the returns had to be carried
on horseback.
That the liquor men had the situation
sized up to nicely IS evidenced by
the fact that many of the leaders had
made estimates Of the results and had
filed them away to be opened after the
returns were in. Many had estimated
that their vote would stand five to one
for the ants.

TWO DIRTY ACTS
SPOILED THE DAY

There were few disorder1y acts to
mar the behavior of a very orderly
crowd last night. One was when one
of the sovereign people in the exercise
of his personal right. saw fit to heave
| an egg at the megaphone through
which the returns We're being an
| nounced at the anti-prohibition head
quarters.
One Of the men standing in the crowd
on Bethel and Hotel happened to re-
mark that he wished he had an egg at
the moment. Some brilliant intellect
seized on the idea and taking it unto
himself got the egg, waiting for the
next time that the megaphone appeared
through the window.
When it did appear it happened that
Buchly had picked it up to make the
announcement and without waiting to
see who was behind it the man threw
the egg. 1t missed the megaphone by
an inch and broke on the window SILL
splattering almost on every inmate of
the room and all the papers.
Chief McDuffie was called and asked
to find the man who did it, who is be
not found which was lucky for him. 1t
was one Of the two dirty acts that came
to police attention during the day
The other was when H. NJ Ayres was
invited into the Pantheon Saloon to
see a voters list, Joe Silva. the
proprietor, accusing Ayres of voting
illegally. Once in the saloon, Avres
was jumped by a couple of thugs, Jack
McFadden and Ernest Heine, while
someone else held Ayres' hands behind
him to allow the bruisers to do him up.
Silva, in the meanwhile. prevented the
crowd from interfering. The Pantheon
Saloon Is one of the few remaining
places of unsavory reputation, sort
of hangout for characters of the Ne
Fadden type. Silva is the man whose
name queered the attempt to get up a
series of horse races on July 4.
Ayres was considerably beaten up
without being given chance to defend
himself. He will probably swear ont
warrants against Silva and his thugs
this morning..

Resented Woolley.

The liquor people do not owe all to
themselves in the fight which they won
yesterday. The people Of the Territory
of Hawaii resented having the issue
sprung from Washington instead Of at
home. They also resented the gum-sho
methods Of Mr.. Woolley in going to
Washington and securing an election
without consulting the people them
selves. That is how I account for the
result CHARLES !, MCCARTHY.

Present Law Should Stand.

If the present liquor law is wisely
administered it will meet with the
hearty approval not only of the public
at large but with the liquor men as
well.
I do not believe that there is a
single liquor man who desires to take
advantage of yesterdays result with
a view of making the liquor question
an issue in the fall campaign.
The election has proven that prohibi-
tion is not wanted and. if the prohibi-
tionists viii take the same conservative
view as | believe the liquor men take
of the situation, the issue will be drop
ped completely.
The agitation of the liquor question
can only have an unfavorable effect
upon the business condition of the
community and should be discouraged
by all. J. C. COHEN.
