of this city.
again let me quote from Mr..
Thurston's paper, as follows:
The railroad companys attitude
In the matter is said to be due to
an opinion that the interlsland rates
are too high, and that the proposed
Federal regulation would cause re-
auctions to the benefit of settlers,
small farmers etc.
Now, gentlemen, this is an at
tempt, pure and simple, that has
often been made to pull the wool
over your eyes, and to make you be-
lieve that the failure of the small
farmer to make success in his line
of business is owing to the exorbi.
tant and excessive freight rates at
present being charged by the COM
pany carrying on the water trans
portatlon business in this Territory.
This is absolutely false in every re-
spect, as can be proven by an inves.
tigation OF the freight rates now in
operation.
ION one occasion Mr.. Thurston
asked the management of the Inter
Island company to grant special
rate of freight on thimbleberrles from
Hilo TO Honolulu, to see II any bus
mess could be developed In that line.
and the company agreed to bring the
berries to Honolulu for three months
without charge. but in spite of this
the venture proved a failure.
"ln conclusion, I wish to say that
the company which | represent has
always endeavored to give the pub
lie as good service In the transpor
tation business as the existing cir
cumstances would permit, and 1t is
the intention o. the company to con.
tipue this policy and to keep up with
the times. Much has been said In
regard to excessive passenger and
! freight rates charged on our steam
ers. but an impartial examination OF
the facts In this regard will not
bear out these statements. For years

It was found that the 70 cars had
travelled total distance of 398,884
miles, or a distance equivalent to

therefore be well for the members

In the first place, II should be re-

rectly aligned parts.
A year or more ago they proved
before the Royal Automobile Club Of
London that three Cadillacs could
be torn down. all the parts thrown
in a pile; portion Of these parts
discarded and new ones substituted,
and the three cars built up again
from the heap Of parts to run with
absolute sweetness and without so
much as an iota Of looseness.
For this the Cadillac was award
ed the Dewar Trophy. 49,, -.
And now comes another demon
stration which simply emphasizes the
fact that the convictions Of the Ca
dillac Company as to the essentials
of long-lived, serviceable and eco
nomical car are correct.
Cadillac measurements are finer

parts than those of any other car in
the world-fner than the costliest
cars made.

some tea and toast. The cook was in

the house. Mrs. Watson herself was
a wreck; she was blue-white around
the lips, and she had n hand tied

greeted by a series of low creams
and questions. and 1 tried to quiet
them. Gertrude had dropped on Q

ering.

pushed the door open. 1t was empty;

Mr.. John Bailey Appears.


1 had dinner served in the break
fast room. Somehow the huge dining
Don depressed me, and Thomas,
cheerful enough all day, allowed his
spirits to go down with the sun. He
had q habit of watching the corners
of the room, left shadowy by the can
dies on the table. and altogether 1t
was not a festive meal.
Dinner over l went into the living
room. l had three hours before the
children could possibly arrive, and l
got out my knitting.
The chug of the automobile as It
climbed the hill vas the most well
come sound l had heard for a long
time. and with Gertrude and Halsey
actually before me, my troubles
seemed over for good. Gertrude stood
smiling in the hall, with her hat quit

looking young man, who bowed at
me and looked at Trude-that is the
ridiculous nickname Gertrude brought
from school.

Halsey said. 81 want you to adopt
him into your affections and your Sat
urday-to-Monday list. Let me present
John Bailey, only you must call him
Jack. In IL hours he'll be calling you
Aunt: i know him."
We shook hands, and I got a chance
to look at Mr.. Bailey; he was a tall
fellow, perhaps 30, and he wore a
small mustache. 1 remember wonder
ing why; he seemed to have a good
mouth and when he smiled his teeth
we're above the average. One never
knows why certain men cling to a
messy upper lip that must get into

window: a crash in the night; a

a cuff.button! AS for Thomas and his
forebodings. 1t was always my belief
that a negro Is one part thief, one

ever we found would be in the card
room or on the staircase, and nothing
but the fear that Halsey was in Ian

knees seemed to give way under me.
Gertrude was ahead and in the card

Gertrude gazed at the face in a kind
OF fascination. Then she put out heI
hands blindly. and I thought she was
going to faint.
HE has killed him!" she muttered
almost in%articulately; and at that, be
cause my nerves were going. l gave
her a good shake.
What do you mean?" I said fran
tically. There was a depth OF grief
and conviction in her tone that was
worse than anything she could have
said. The shake braced her. any
how. and she seemed to pull herself
together. But not another word would
she say: she stood gazing down at
that gruesome figure on the floor,
while Liddy, ashamed OF her flight
and afraid to ONE back. drove before
her three terrified women servants

But with the presence Of the
bunch" OF servants my courage re-
vived, and late in the afternoon came
. message from Gertrude that she and
Halssy would arrive that night at
about II o'clock. coming in the car
from Richfield. Things were looking
up; and when Beulah. my cat, a most
Intelligent animal. found some early

rolled In It in a feline ecstasy. I de-
cided hat getting back to nature was
the thing to do.
While l was dressing for dinner.
Liddy raped at the door. She was
hardly herself yet, but privately l
think she was worrying about the bro
ken mirror and its augury, more than
anything else. When she came in she
was holding something In her hand,
and she laid 1t on the dressing table
carefully.
81 found 1t in the linen hamper"
she said. ut must be Mr.. Halsey's,
but It SEEM queer how 1t got there"
It was the half Of a link cuff but.
ton Of unique design, and 1 looked at
1t carefully.
Where was It? In the bottom Of
the hamper?" l asked.
"On the very top" she replied. It's
. mercy It didn't fall out on the way"
When Liddy had gone examined
the fragment attentively. / had never
seen 1t before, and / was certain 1t
was nj Halsey's. 1t was of Italian
workmanship, and consisted Of a
mother-of-pearl foundation, e%ncrusted
with tiny Lseed-pearls. strung on
horsehair to hold them. In the Gen.
ter was a small ruby. The trinket
was odd enough, but not intrinsically
Of great value. Its interest for me
lay in this: Liddy had found 1t lying
in the top Of the hamper which had
blocked the east-wing stairs.
That afternoon the Armstrong;
housekeeper. q youngish good-looking
woman, applied for Mrs. Ralston's
place, and l was glad enough to take
her. She looked as though she might
