ROAD BILL TO
60 IN EARLY
Representative Castle Has
Measure to ApportiOn Big
Appropriation.

Representative A. l.. Castle of Oahu,
has prepared the bill calling for an
appropriation for belt roads, in ac-
cordance with the plank in the terri
torial platform, and it will be pre-
scented early in the session,
The bill provides for an apporton
ment OF 100000 on the basis of the
tax per centage each county has paid
into the territorial treasury c. A.
Rice, of Kauai who is slated for
chairman of the Finance Committee OF
the House, fayors this plan, but it
will certainly be opposed by the Iia-
waii delegation at least Under this
plan, Hawaii will get $4,000, and is
after about 100000. 1t is probable
the Hawaii bunch will stick for a plan
that will apportion the appropriation
according to the road mileage in each
county. Under 8ice's plan, Oahu
would get 100000.

It is humorous game, if you look at it
in the right way. But it is one of the great
est and most interesting in all the profess
sional world. Playwriting offers fair field
to every man who wants to enter it, and if
he has the stuff in him he will surely succeed.
As in everything else, the road is strange and
rough; but there are few really unfair am
bushes, and the goal brings ample remunera-
ton and happiness.
Among the things have learned while
travelling the road are never to "say die.
Smile at hard luck and blame it to no one
but your own self; and realize that your
play, if rejected, is after all probably not so
good as you think it is. have learned too
that to be able to write comedy man must
have been @up against it"-he must know
the other side. have learned that to write
satire one must love life and live life, and
grin in the face of gloom and trouble. l
have learned that self confidence is the
greatest asset in the world. l have learned
that it never pays nor will pay to initiate. In
initiating, you admit that the other fellow
is better than you are. have learned that
any man who can write good play will be
able to find producer for that play. have
learned not to be bitter in ones writing; but
to look on the cheerful, sunny side of the
picture always. And have learned that
Kentuckians always stick together!

merely picturing it to myself in my magma
ton, was l impressed with the fact that
hanging could never be made laughable on
the stage-unless in sheer burlesque. Hang

His Serious Scenes Were Comedy
THESE are only few of my strange adven-
lures in stageland, some of the main
ones and some that will best reveal to others
the way the game is played. There were
many, many others. There was the adven-
ture with the Boston audience, for example,
which laughed out loud at one of my be-
loved serious scenes in @The Intruder"
whereupon Mr.. Brady exclaimed aFine!'
@Are you kidding me?" l asked him.
"Not at all, he replied. @Thatll make
great comedy scene. Comedy is what they
want"
And 1 changed my serious scenes into
comedy scenes.
Then, too, there was the adventure with
the first lazy stenographer who typed my
early efforts and assured me that play type
writing was her regular occupation, and
that no act should ever exceed twenty typed
pages And l believed her.

Black Pearl to the Thakur."
In stretching forth his hand for the goblet,
he thought he heard sigh of infinite pain
and regret escape from the lips of Princess
Indrapura. She perhaps thought better of
him than to abandon her for the price of his
way of the Rajputs. He took the goblet
from the Maharana; but, instead of ap-
preaching the Thakur, turned quickly to-
ward the Princess. He raised the goblet
above her head as if in benediction, then
drained the contents. With sweep of his
arm he hurled the goblet to the pavement,
smashing it into thousand splinters.
NOW" he cried facing the Maharana, II
l stand in the Thakur's place! l claim
your daughter for my wife, the honor being
all on my head! also claim, by all the laws
of my people, that, whether my death takes
place in five minutes or five years, as my

grim visaged mobiles, 3that the Rajputs are
a chivalrous people of Saracen blood. l ap-
peal to the chivalry of their race!"
A murmur of approval ran through the
half circle gathered about the Maharana.
Meanwhile the Maharana Invested his neck
of rope of kingly pearls.
@Be it So" he gravely inclined his head.
He motioned Townsend and the Princess to
advance. When they stood before him, he
bound their hands together with the rope
of pearls. "By this act" he said, "you are
now joined together in life and death"
Followed then a pause as If there re-
NAMED something unspoken. 1t was Town

to live, your Highness will understand there

and smiled in fatherly almost genial man.

"Listen!" he stretched forth hand. IL have
judged in this fashion. Because you met my
eyes fearlessly when first came upon you,
[ did not condemn you on the instant. But
even so there are men who would swear they
loved my daughter in all honor to escape the
consequences of your act while in their
hearts would be a lie blacker than the pearl
you have taken. Therefore | did not ask.
There are also pariahs in the forms of men
who would sacrifice woman to save their
own accursed skins. 1t was necessary that
your affection and courage should be proved.
Had you handed the pearl to the Thakur, he
would have killed you at one stroke. As it
is, 60 in peace and happiness. On this occa-

THE BLACK PEARL


chamber guards closed in upon them, thus
preventing an attempt at resistance. In this
way they were conducted through long, wind
ing passages, across courts and miniature
gardens, until they were ushered into great
paved hall and upon scene suggestive of the
European Middle Ages.
By the light of torches held in massive
silver brackets, Townsend beheld the Maha-
rama seated on gold and ivory throne. He
was surrounded by his personal mobiles,
wearing plumed caps engraved with Vedlc
texts and characters, and CARRIED in coats OF
chain mail. At intervals along the walls the
ef6gies of bronze. Banners and arms hung
upon the silken sheen of matchless rugs,
cleaning in arabesque patterns of azure, old
rose, deep red, white, black, and turquoise.
When Townsend was brought before the
Maharana profound silence fell. Presently
the Maharana spoke.
@For this which has happened there is no
precedent to be found in the annals of the
House of Chanzi. Therefore, there is no rule
by which it can be settled. Yet it is inn
possible that my daughter remain unmar-

everyone knows, the Black Pearl contains
subtle poison. This being agreed upon,
my daughter will follow the ancient custom
of sacrificing herself at his funeral cere-
monies, in return for his generosity, and to
serve him faithfully in the other world.
Thus will her honor be saved and her crime
expiated."
WHEN the significance of these words
" reached Townsend's understanding
he was seized with horror He took an i'm
pulsive step forward; but the Maharana
stayed him with gesture. He beckoned to
bearer, who presented gold salver, on
which stood a crystal goblet containing an
amber liquid. The Maharana took from
his purse pear shaped pearl of jet black
luster, poised it for moment over the COB
let, and dropped it into the amber liquid.
A slight effervescence followed, when the
liquid took on the tint of aquamarine. The
Maharana then addressed Townsend:
"For your part in this matter all that is
required is small service. Then you may

It is for you to hand this goblet to the
Thakur."
Townsend drew back appalled, at the re-
quest. Great Heavens! it meant handing
the Princess over to an unthinkable death!
1t was impossible. He had rather die him.
self.
"Do you refuse so trifling satisfaction
to her honor, you who have taken her in
your embrace" questioned the Maharana.
Townsend was about to refuse, when, real
izing that such would probably in no wise
help matters, he grasped at an expedient
which might at least save the Princess.
