SHARP wall, as Of an animal In.
"a sudden torture, burst from the
lips of Henry Breed. He
q = started forward, shaking and
trembling, the veins ON his leathern
old face starting out like whipcords.
He raised both his clinched fists and
opened his mouth to speak, but no
words came
Speech was supplied ON the instant,
however, by Sumner Rollins. by

you contemplated some folly, Kelvin,
but never that you had In your craZed

ARREST that man. shouted Kelvin.
ARREST me If you darev' cried Rol-
Inns. Il am going from this room

patriotism and the love Of liberty in
the United States are neither dead nor
asleep. In every village and upon

and undesirable causes Of home and
country and freedom. shall issue
such a call that every unvitiated de-
scendant Of every true American will
swing into line to sweep this colossal
folly back into the fourteenth century,
where it belongs, and to make by
word and laughingstock of the name
Of Phillip Kelvin-emperor"
The guards who had advanced to-
ward Rollins had hesitated upon his
outburst and in that moment Of his
righteous fury, standing stern and stall
wart with his eyes flashing, he was
commanding enough to have halted
any underling. Now, however, the
guards looked to Kelvin, and he struck
his knuckles impatiently upon the TIA
BILE. Elsie White upon Kelvin's plunge
into his proclamation had stepped back
to the door, where she now stood di'
rectly back of Rollins. AS the latter
spoke she had put her hands behind
her and quietly turned the key. Now
she plucked Rollins by the sleeve
Hurry. Cor she whispered.
She pulled open the door and thrust
Rollins through 1t before he had more
than half comprehended her intention;
then she slammed 1t shut, turned the
key in the lock and slipped the key
into the neck of her gown just as the
guards and Sam threw themselves
upon the door.
Miss White, l will give you thirty
seconds in which to produce. that key"
came the cold voice of Kelvin.

She insisted so strongly that Kelvin
finally went with her into her own
apartments. She went to her desk and
brought letter.
"See," she said, 81 have found a
note written by George Blagg to Ben
White, the father Of your precious
friend Elsie while he was still gar
dener. Blagg has been contracting
for a million rifles, for one thing"
As she spoke she seemed to be listen
ing intently. Phillip reached out his
hand for the missive. She thrust 1t
quickly behind her back and looked up
at him with bantering eyes. as that
the way you express your thanks?'
she playfully protested. "You shant
have 1t until you show yourself more
grateful than that" And she pursed
up her lips.
With something Of reluctance Phil
lip bent forward to give her the stipu-
lated kiss, and as he did so she sud
denly threw her arms about his neck.
At that instant the hall door opened
wide at the hand Of Lucy, and Henry
Breed stalked in, followed by DR.. Eel
phan and Herbert Rensselaer, and his
aunt. Phillip and Lillian instantly
sprang apart, but it was too late. The
tableau had been seen. Henry Breed
was the first to find his voice.
"Lucy told us that lillian wished to
see us in her room and led the way"
he observed dryly. "but Lucy seems to
have been mistaken"
"She was" asserted Lillian coolly,
"but since you are here ! may as well
tell you bit Of news. grandfather.
You may announce tomorrow that the
long standing secret engagement be-
tween Phillip and myself is to culmi-
nate in an immediate wedding. We
were just discussing the date. think
about the first Of next month will suit
us best, won't it, Phillip" and her
hand sought his.
Phillip. half confused. half angry.
put as good a face upon the matter as
he could and agreed with every ap-
pearance of suavity. that the first was
an ideal date. Having announced their
intention, the surprised couple were
able to look their captors in the face
with more or less of cool defiance In
Herbert's eyes Kelvin saw grave re-
monstrance. DR.. Zelphan was openly
chuckling. Henry Breed was smiling
and rubbing his withered old palms to-
gether. The shocked and Mortified Mrs.
Rensselaer, finally found her motive
power and, sailing into the room. took
Lillian's arm under her own and
marched away with her to her own
apartments. DR.. Zelphan was the first
to congratulate Phillip. shaking hands
with him heartily.

with sardonic glee. "an ideal match"

mind that there had been anything in

OBSERVER DODGE REPORTS LAVA
LEVEL READY FOR SOME
BIG DoINGs.

The fire level in Halemaumau is
steadily rising and, in the opinion of
F. b. Dodge, who is recording the vag-
aries of Madame Pele for the commit.
tee on volcanic research, is due to
reach very high level in the near
future. In his regular weekly report to
The Advertiser, under date of April IL,
Mr.. Dodge writes:
'The lava lake of Halemaumau has
been rising slowly, but surely, for the
last week. For that matter it has been
doing SO for the past three or four
weeks and is now within 24s feet of the
top. BY the looks of things at the
crater i should not be surprised to see
il rise very high in the near future.
"The average for the week is 252
feet below the east rest house. The
following are the daily levels: April G,
$50 p. m, 250 feet; April 8, II a. M,
257 feet; April 8, 1920 a, M, 249 feet;

HAWAIIAN YOUTH
ATTEMPTS PER|LOUs
RESCUE OF SWIMMER

Kalna, a Hawaiian swimmer, became
a hero for an attempted rescue at Ho-
nomu, Hawaii, April 2. The news of
1T reached Honolulu yesterday, al
though the swimmers bravery has
been discussed in many home through
out the HonOmu district ever since the
day he attempted to save a young
Spaniard from drowning.
The Spanish youth, whose name is
mot disclosed, made bet that he could
swim TO one of the Honomu Sugar
COmpany's landing buoys and return.
The stake was gallon of wine.
The sea is treacherous at Honomu
and the waves run high. Into the
foaming surf and the perilous undertow
the Spaniard forged, reaching the buoy
IN safety. His friends ON the shore
watched breathlessly. The young swim
mer did not begin the return trip but
chung to the buoy making signs of dis
fress.
Kalua offered TO attempt a rescue.
He is a strong swimmer, but his friends
urged him not TO 60 into the water
ON what seemed a hopeless task. Ka-
lua persisted and they tied a rope
around his body. With it he breasted
the breakers and reached the buoy.
Darkness had descended. The men ON
shore could not make out the two swim
mers clearly. They pulled in on the
rope but only Kalua returned with it,
exhausted.
Summons had been sent to Hilo in
the mean time, for launch. 1t arrived
two or three hours later and effeeted

mail Special to The Advertiser.)
HILO, April 12.-Pockets in the
pantaloons of high police officials have
of late been found to be fine hunting
ground by burglars of this city. Within
the past couple of weeks both Jailer
Maby, the popular and dearly beloved
caterer to the malefactors in the Hilo
Jail; and Deputy Sheriff Fetter have
had their trousers pockets rifed by
burglars And this happened in both
cases during the early hours of the
morning when the officials were enjoy
ing the sleep of those who have good
conscience; their money-laden neither
garments being at the same time con-
veniently suspended from chairs in the
immediate vicinity.
The Maby case happened couple of
weeks ago. On the night in question
the jailer had been improving his mind
morning, when he retired. Being a be-
lever in the healthy, wealthy and wise
principle, the jailer sprang lightly from
his couch at five a. M, only to be
struck by the heartrending fact that
whereas his trousers had the evening
before been musical with the jingle of
about ten dollars in coin of the realm,
they now jingled not at all, the coin
having been abstracted by some bold
and bad burglar while the jailer was
playing with the angels of dreamland.
The case of the deputy sheriff was
more spectacular. At about half-past
four last Wednesday, one of the two
smaller Fetter girls was awakened when
her mosquito net was lifted by per
son who peered into the bed. The girl
awakened her sister, who slept in the
same bed, and the jailer fastened
out of the room. 1t appeared later on
that he had visited Captain Fetter's
bedroom and had taken from that off.

whereupon he had continued his trip
through the house until he awakened
the girls.
The children called their father, who
lost some time by searching through
the house. Fetter then scurried through
the neighborhood, fitting lightly in
barefeet across the dewy grass, but,
beyond producing an artistic effect, he
accomplished nothing of value.

HILL RETIREMENT
IS AGAIN RUMOREO

CHICAGO, April 13.-The Chicago
Post today says that James ]. Hill, the
railway magnate, will retire soon and
that his son, Louis Hill, will succeed
to his fathers position.
"The builder of the Northwest
and "The Colossus of Roads are the
names James Jerome Hill is best known
by. Mr.. Hill was born in Wellington
| county, Ontario, September 16, 1898.
His father came from good old Irish
stock and was one of the earliest set.
tiers in Upper Canada, in 1926, being
a Woodworking and successful farmer.
I On his mothers side Mr.. Hill is of
Dunbar, Scottish descent. The boy at.
tended the lockwood Academy, a
I Quaker school, for eight years, when
his father died and young Hill was
! thrown upon his own resources to make
/ his way in the world.
At the age of eighteen he went to
st. Paul, then village on the hem of
civilization, and became shipping
clerk. He learned the business of trans.
portation thoroughly and he gradually
learned the needs of the great West. In
1865 he took the agency of the North
west Packet Company and continued in
that position until 1867, when he start
ed for himself in the general fuel and
transportation business. The first coal
used in st. Paul was shipped in by him.
His first start on the road to fame
was in 1870, when he established the
Red River Transportation Company. He
opened communication between st.
Paul and Fort Garry, now Winnipeg,
and in 1871 he consolidated his inter
ests with Norman w. Kitson of the
Hudson Bay Company. In 1873 his
chance came and he grasped it with
great courage. The st. Paul and Pa.
cifc Railroad had defaulted. He inter.
ested Sir Donald Smith and Lord
Mount Stephen, secured control of the
bonds of the company and the purchase
was completed.
He reorganized the road, included the
Northern Pacific and the Canadian Pa
cific and by degrees he formed the Great
Northern Railway system. He not only
became a great owner of railroads, but
added superb fleets of steamships on the
Great Lakes and the Pacific.
