The Wilhelmina was built and

strated that while Honolulu has the
ships, the tourists and travellers
were dlstressingly conspicuous by
their absence.
The steamer Hilonian has been
eliminated from the San Francisco
business by the coastwise suspen-,
sionists, although the LOCAL agents
will sell Honolulu-Sani Francisco
passages at any and all times. This
vessel sailed after the termination
OF the carnival and Floral Parade
with but four cabin passengers.
while at the same time that vessel
has comfortably accommodated as
high as fifty people.
But eliminating the Hilonian
from the game. the Oceanic steam
ship Alameda sailed for San Fran
cisco on the morning following the
Floral Parade with not only empty
first-class cabins, but with accom-
notation for at least thirty addi-
tional cabin passengers. This was
one of the vessels that had been
touted by the opposition of coast
wise regulations as booked TO the
limit. Z
The Pacific Mail liner Mongolia
was another vessel OF which II was
said that many prominent main
landers found 1t impossible to Sc
cure passage.
A call at the shipping department
OF II. Hackfeld & Co. this morning
developed the fact that the big linel
sailed from Honolulu for San Fran
cisco with ample room for at least
seventy-five additional cabin passen
gers.
One particularly noteworthy fac
in connection with the departure y
the Mongolia was that In no cas-

my idea, lathe faulty system OF

cally all Offices In Honolulu. :
THE records at the various steam

Of duplicate, ,triplicate and quadru-

Take, for example. party OF a
half dozen people who have decided
to terminate their visit to the Ha-

local Office OF the Pacific Mail and
are told that there is indication OF
a rather large number of passengers
for the next Coastbound liner. These

best rooms available. The party
within a few minutes will drop into
the Office Of the Oceanic Steamship
Company. on their way up the
street, and go through the same for

on the Alameda list OF prospective
passengers. Before returning to
their hotel. the same Identical COM

And she has done everything for me. The

heard the sweep Of his serape as he
leaned forward toward me. I hated, for
your own sake, that you should see any
thing 50 hideous. When I came out of
that door and saw you there on the
other side OF the street, do you know
what you seemed to me? You seemed to
be like the reminder Of everything good
had ever hoped for or believed in. look
ing at me across that distance, Mortified
me. 1t was that I could not bear" His
voice sounded harsh and uncertain. but
it was better to hear than the even on
hand tone he had used at first.

But what are you doing here alone at
this hour OF the night?" He broke off
suddenly. The half stern, half protect
ing note made my heart beat.

bear it. I heard them talking behind
the curtains. They said it was who

that is nonsense. II was who convicted
myself"
Il turned toward him. I would have
given anything, in that moment, for a
glimpse of his face
IF you did anything at all toward that
end" he went on steadily. remember
you only helped me toward what
really wanted to do"
I kept my eyes fixed on that space Of
darkness from which his voice came. IF
you wanted to convict yourself then why
did you try TO escape?"
There was quite an interval while
waited. trimbling on the brink Of the
mystery. When at last he spoke his
voice sounded a note OF reserve. The IN
conscious intimateness was gone.
Whatever my motive IN convicting
myself has been. let me assure you Il
has put me so FAR away from you that
am hardly worthy even to speak to you
But feared you had been troubled about
giving your evidence. and I am glad Of
this one chance to tell you that you have
helped rather than hurt me. But now
II is all over; you will not have 10

what I am going to do now will put me

He said II with such a sad reckless
gayety, and il sounded so final that it

end with Il; and, without any understand

hear him begging me to stop, and. though
he did not touch me. I could feel him
close beside me on the same seat and
bending above me.
The thing isn't worth it, I heard him
say. I deserve it all-everything You
are too good to waste any pity on me.
But love you for it, have loved you

me as If 7 were the devil 1 loved you

pistol. will never forget you"
At that ! cried all the harder, but now
there was a curious feeling of comfort in
it. All the misery I had kept shut up
in my thoughts for so many weeks
seemed TO be running out with my tears.
What can I do to make you feel
differently about it?r He was pleading.
Don't do what you are going to do
I whispered, muffied up in my handker-

He made a queer little sound in his
throat-amusement or dispair. I couldn't

up. and instead OF darkness. there was
his face above me, great. shadowy hol-

light on his forehead.
