excellent suggestion has been made that
one side of building be- left open, the
side depending upon the within Of the

Hawaii has a rock trust.

Hawaii has a rock trust.
1t is not a laughing matter, however,
odd as the term may sound, but an
actuality with the Japanese behind it.
The board of supervisors heard of it
last night and they may have an OPP
portunity of testing the truth Of the
bald statement when they begin to get
figures for rock curbing to complete
the Nuuanu roadway.
Cyrus Il. Green, who, with H. Hotel,
were bondsmen for Picanco, the Port
uguese contractor who fell down ON the

endeavor to obtain the stone under the
former contract and would have sue,

not been so particular about the rock, -
he stated.

tion in their hands and they are trying
to form a trust and compel the coun.

HThe former price Of eurbing never
ran over fifteen cents per foot same

THE MYSTERY OF A PUBLIC OFFICE,
OR WHO LOST THE Correspondence?

The city attorney certainly ought to
put his detective at work to find out
why so much that is sent to him in the
way of building ordinances and CORE
spondence and such gets "lost." If
necessary, give the detective en- assist
ant, because the job will undoubtedly
be a tough one.
1t is really a mystery where some
things can go. Last night, at the meet
ing of the board of supervisors, another
baffler was reported. Correspondence
sent from the Bishop Estate in January
is not only lost, but lost so completely
that even Milverton can not remember
anything about it.
Perhaps there ought to be three de-
teetives on the job.

POLITICAL STRINGS CAN NOT BIND WORK

under the present appropriations of the
Legislature for that purpose.

F. s. Dodge, superintendent of the

makes the mystery more complete is
that occasionally he got an answer.
Milverton has some sort of hazy recol-
lection of telling the board once that
it couldn't do anything in the way of
sewer work in Kakaako, but he WASH It

Kona clients that he advised. At any

it was probably lost.

social race of these twentieth century
days. He characterized society as a
mighty and merciless automobile,
which rode down, without warning, all
who happened in it's path.
''1t is the swift pace that kills."
said the veteran ex-ch1ef. That is,
the swift pace, the desire to make as
good a show as ones neighbors, or
perhaps, a better one, causes the ma
jority of the home assertions. And
the greater number are not, as most
people believe, among the very poor.
but rather the so-called middle class
of society"
Among the many who look up from
the ranks of the third estate there are
few who suspect that the people of
the middle class ever lack comforts
or even want for the necessaries OF
life. Yet it is fact, that in the big

himself; that Marion had gone to the
caste-that Strang intended to make
her his bride that night. But did
Obadiah know that the castle had
been abandoned? Did he know that
the kings wives had sought refuge in
the temple, and did he know where
Marion was hidden? Nathaniel could
assure himself but one answer: Oba-
diah, struck down by his strange mad
ness, was more ignorant than he him
self Of what had occurred at ST. James.
While he paused a heavy noise
arose that quickened his heart-beats
and sent the blood through his veins
in wild excitement. From far down
by the shore there came the roar OF
a cannon. 1t was closely followed by
a second and third, and hardly was
the night shaken by their thunder
than a mighty cheering of men swept
up from the fire-rimmed coast. The
battle had begun! Nathaniel leaped
out into the glow of the great blazing
fire beyond the temple; he heard a
warning shout as he darted past the
men; for an instant he saw their white
faces staring at him from the freight
heard a second shout, which he
knew was a command-and was gone.
Half dozen rifles cracked behind him
and a yell of joyful defiance burst
from his throat as the bullets Kissed
over his head. The battle had begun!
Another hour and the Mormon king
dom would be at the mercy of the
avenging host from the mainland
ever! He heard again the deep rum
HE of a heavy gun and from its sullen
detonation he knew that it was fired
from a ship at sea. A nearer crash of
returning fire turned him into a de-
serted street down which he ran wild
ly, on past the last houses of the
town, until he came to the foot of
hill up which he climbed more slowly,
painting like a winded animal
From it's top he could look down
upon the scene of battle. To the east
ward stretched the harbor line with
its rim of fires. A glance showed
him that the fight was not to center

purpose, had forced the mainlanders
to seek landing farther down the
coast. The light of dawn had already

creeping slowly along the shore. The
pale ghostly mistiness of the sea hung
like curtain between him and what
was beyond, and even as he strained
his eyes to catch a glimpse of the
avenging fleet vivid light leaped out
of the white distance, followed by the
thunder of a cannon. He saw the head
slant it had been thrown into con-
fusion. A second shot from the sea-
a storm of cheering voices from out
of that white chaos of mist-and the
Mormons fell back from the shore in
a panic-stricken. fleeing mob. Were
those frightened towards the fierce
fighters of whom he had heard so
much? Were they the men who had
made themselves masters of a king
dom in the land of their enemies
whose mere name carried terror for a
hundred miles along the coast? He
vas stupefied, bewildered. He made
no effort to conceal himself as they
approached the hill, but drew his pis-
toll, ready to fire down upon them as
they came. Suddenly there was a
change. So quickly that he could
scarcely believe his eyes the flying
Mormons had disappeared. Not a
man was visible upon that narrow
plain between the hill and the sea.
Like a hdge cOvey Of quail they had
dropped to the ground, their rifles lost
in that ghostly gloom through which
the voices of the mainlanders came
in fierce cries of triumph 1t was mag
nifcent Even as the crushing truth
of what it all meant came to him, the
fighting blood in his veins leaped at
the sight of 1.-THE pretended effect
of the shots from sea, the sham con-
fusion, the disorderly flight, the won
derful quickness and precision with
which the rabble of armed men had
thrown itself into ambush!
Would the mainlanders rush into
the trap? Had some keen eye seen
those shadowy forms dropping
through the mist? Each instant the
ghostly pail that shut out vision sea-
ward seemed drifting away. Nathan
| ieps staring eyes saw vague shape
appear in it, an indistinct dirt-gray
blotch, and he knew that it was a
boat. Another followed, and then an
other; he heard the sound of oars,
the grinding of keels upon the sand,
and where the Mormons had been a
few moments before the beach was
now alive with mainlanders. In the
growing light he could make out the
kings men below him, inanimate spots
in the middle of the narrow plain.
Helpless he stood clutching his pistol,
the horror in him growing with each
breath. Could he give no warning?
Could he do nothing-nothing-
At least he could join in the fight!
He ran down the hill. swinging to the
