TWO BIC SC0WS
ARE NOW READY

HILO, March 13.-Now that the two
scows belonging to the Lord-Young
firm Of contractors, are ahoat, It is ex-
pected that the first loads Of rock will
be soon taken out 10 the site Of the
extension Of the breakwater. The
huge scows are each capable of taxi
ing out one hundred and fifty tons of
stone at one time
The compartments in the scows
each carry fifty tons Of rock, and there
are three compartments to each
lighter. Rock is already blasted and
in few days there will be plenty
TO put on cars and take to the place
where the big stones will be lifted out
by derricks and placed in the scows.
The second scOw was gotten off the
beach In a much easier fashion than
the first, and the skds, which were
placed under the big hatbottomed
punts, did their work we'll The scow
was lowered to the waters edge at
low tide, and then when the tide rose
the rest was easy.

OIL LEAKING
INTO HARBOR

For some time past there has been
a considerable leakage of oil from
the pipes near the American Ha-
waiian wharf. This has resulted in
considerable loss Of oil, and It has
been a continual expense to the own
ers of small boats, as they have had
to get their little craft cleaned fire.
quently owing to the dark marks from
the oil on the water giving them an
unsightly appearance A staff Of men
was recently set to work to unearth
the pipes. This has been completed,
and It has been found that the break
ages were caused by the pipes sag
ging. This will be repaired this aft
ernoon, and the pipes will be relaid
in a manner that should prevent such
an accident happening again Many

father was minister to the United
States from 1878 to 1882. During the
fathers tenure of Office the son lived

CHAPTER XVIII.

AS Annie entered the room and
caught sight of Mr.. Jeffries. she In
stinctively drew back. Just at that
moment the banker was, perhaps, the
one man in the world whom she was
most anxious to avoid Capt. Clinton
no longer had any terror for her. Now
that the missing witness. had been
found and the precious suicide let
ter" was as good as in their possession
there was nothing more to fear. 1t
was only a question of time when
Howard would be set free. But
1T was not in this girls nature
to be concerned only with her
self. If she possessed single wom-
anly virture, It was supreme unselAsh-
ness. There was some one beside her
self to take into considerations
poor. vacillating, weak, miserable
woman who wished to do what was
right and had agreed to do so, but
who, in the privacy of her own apart
ments, had gone down on her knees
and begged Annie to protect her from
the consequences Of her own folly.
Her husband must not know. Annie
had promised that If there was any
way possible the knowledge of that
clandestine midnight visit to Under
woods rooms should be kept from
him. Yet there stood the banker!
She was afraid that If they began
questioning her in his presence she
might be betrayed into saying some
thing that would instantly arouse his
suspicious.
Judge Brewster went quickly for
ward as she came In and led her to a
chair. Capt. Clinton and Mr.. Jeffries
eyed her in stolid silence. Looking
around in a nervous kind of way. An
ME said quietly to the Judge:
May / speak to you alone, judge?"

He was about to draw her aside
when Capt Clinton interfered.

this is all open and above board, as
you say it is, Judged like to ask
the young lady few questions.
Certainly, by all means" said the
Judge quickly.
The captain turned and confronted
Annie. Addressing her in his GUS
tomary aggressive manner. he said:
you promised Judge Brewster that
you'd produce the woman who called

of the shooting?" Annie made no
reply, but looked at the lawyer. The
captain grinned as he added: 1.-THE

Annie bowed.
YES" she said slowly; II promised
Judge Brewster that she would come
here tonight"
Did she promise to come? growled
the captain.
"Yes."
well, where is she?" he demanded.
She hasn't come yet" she replied,
"but she will, I'm sure-I know she
will"
How did you come to find herr
demanded the captain suspiciously.
Annie hesitated a moment and
glanced at Mr.. Jeffries. Then she
said hesitatingly:
That IL cannot say-now."
Capt. Clinton's massive bulldog jaw
closed with an ominous click.
Decline to answer, Ell? What's her
manner"
She remained silent.
What's her Manner he repeated
impatiently.
Il cannot tell you," she said firmly.
do you know it?" he beloved.
Eyes" she answered quietly.
Know it, but can't say, Ell? Hum!''
He folded his arms and glared at
her. Mr.. Jeffries now interfered. Ad-
dressing Annie angrily, he said:
But you must speak! Do you real
ize that my sons life is at stalker"
Yes, l do" she replied quickly.
I'm glad to see that you are begin
ming to realize It, too. But / can't

The judge turned to the police cap
tain.
Il may tell you, captain, that even
| myself have not succeeded in learn
ing the name of this mysterious per-
sonage." Addressing Annie, he said:
Il think you had better tell us. I see
no advantage in concealing it any fur
ther."
Annie shook her head
Not yet" she murmured; "she will
tell you herself when she comes"
"Hh! l thought as much!" exclaimed
the banker increduously.
The captain rose and drew himself
up to his full height, a favorite trick
of his, when about to assert his au-
thority
We'll, when she does GOMEZ" he
exclaimed. II think you may as well
understand she will be taken to head

one the State has. / don't intend that
she shall get away"
Arrest her! Oh, Judge, don't let
him do that!" exclaimed Annie in dis
may.
Judge Brewster grew red in the
face. Wrathfully he said:
"She is coming to my house of her
own free will She has trusted to my
honor"
"Yes-yes!" cried Annie. "She
trusts to your honor, Judge"
Capt. Clinton grinned.
Honor cuts mighty little ice in
this matter. There's no use talking.

Il will not permit such a disgrace

of them very nearly succeeded in coll

himself vigorously, and and a keep

Then the largest of the four fixed

at the top of the cage and made saw

right leg and began to Irvine itself
higher up his body.
1T was a life-anddeath struggle
that then ensued, but by exerting all
our might we at last succeeded in
