though trembling with fear and sur-
prise, she rose to her feet. Then for
the first time she noticed the robe that
had covered them. Her quick intelli-

her the story In an instant. They had
been tracked and recaptured.
For a minute the thought of resist
ance dwelt in Miss Grayman's mind.
But how could she resist? She had no
weapon. and the Indian was armed.
They were both half famished and

them food. which they took. even with
eagerness-
He did not hurry them. He seemed
to have infinite patience. But at last
he touched Miss Grayman on the arm

SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.-silks,
valued at $1,000, were seized yesterday
by customs inspectors on the transport
Sherman. They are the property of
Sergt. C. G. Krencke, who is en- route
to Fort Leavenworth, with Company X,

1t is said the inspectors were warned
in advance that the silks were in the
baggage of Sergt. Kreneke by special
agents of the treasury department, who
travel on the transports and liners for
the purpose of securing information as
to the smuggling of oriental goods and
silks into the United States.
Shortly after the seizure, Special
Agent Vernon visited the United States
district attorney IS office, and it was re-
ported that criminal action is to be
taken against Sergt. Krencke.

ner of Hawaii is the choice of
large number of residents of
this island for superintendent of
public works, to take the place
of Marston Campbell, whose re-

If Mr. Homer is favorably con

ONE LITTLE SLIP
THROWS OUT BIDS
LoRD-YouNG FORGET TO GIVE
TIME IN PROPOSAL FOR
BULKHBAD CONTRACT.
CFrom Thursday,s Advertiser.l

(From Thursday ADVERTISED
Wouldn't it jar you if you had put in
the lowest bid for installing a lot of
paving, piles, piers, railroad tracks and
other important adiuncts of a first
class wharf, job worth about 100000,
and you forgot to say in the bid how
many days it would take to complete
the work, and the government threw
your bid QUIT 1t certainly made Ed
Lord mad-at himself-because he had
overlooked the trifling matter of time,
in his hurry to get the bid in in time.
The board of harbor commissioners
opened the tenders yesterday for put
ting in the pavements on the Queen
street bulkhead wharf which is event
ually to be turned over to the Matson
Navigation company. The bids of the
Lord-Young company were the lowest
of five, and Ed was smiling broadly,
when his hopes were dashed by the an.
nouncement that he had failed to des-
ignate the period of time in which he
could do the job.
Deputy Attorney General Sutton was
requested to appear before the board
TO state whether or not tne Dlu was
void because of this omission. Mr..
Sutton said under all circumstances.
and particularly in view of the fact
that the supreme court the day before
had rendered decision in the belt
road case on that very point, the only
thing to be done was to readvertise for
tenders, with an amendment in the
specifications designating just how
many days the contractors would have
to do the work.
