MICHAEL WAS
HOOT MON RUSS

The name of Mckenzie, Britisher,
on the police court docket
this morning.
In answer to Clerk Weeds stentorian
call beaming individual stepped to
the front.
Guilty or not guilty?" queried Pro
scouting officer Cathcart.
Mckenzie began thereupon to speak
in a strange dialect which, taken in
conjunction with his name as given
on the docket, caused Cathcart to be-
lieve that defendant was addressing
the court in rare old Gaelic.
Send for the Scotch interpreter,
exclaimed Cathcart
Just then, however, the Russian in
terpreter, who happened to be in court
explained that the man wasn't
Scotchman at all but Russian and
that he was speaking in his owr
tongue.
His name turned out to be Michae
Kanafski, circumstance which prob
ally led the receiving clerk to register
| him as Mckenzie, Br."
incidentally Mike was taxed "a ant
costs for his little iubilation.

Hotel. Inquiry Of Mr.. Schaefer and
Hon. W. o. Smith today was answered
with positive statements that a ban
quet was not at all contemplated. Mr..
Smith, to whom the plan adopted APP
pears to have been committed to car.

eminent nonagenarians birthday
would be celebrated by his Honolulu

afternoon session of the Superior

DID n. LEEPER
FUDGE ON SUBS?

Today's arrests included Sakata,
supposed to be insane; Mrs Manena
Pahupu and Eaologia Barja, assault
and battery; Neville D. Leeper in
vestigation, and Barradovia, a Rus
sian, drunk
Leeper was taken from among the
bananas aboard the S. S. Sierra just
before sailing time. Down below were
found three valises stuffed with his
belongings.
Some time ago he was fined $50 for
an offense with a native girl. 1t was
supposed by the police that he was
trying to jump his bond he having
appealed the case.
Investigation develops the fact that
he has withdrawn his appeal and paid
his fine.
There is a chance, however, that he
may be charged with a more serious
offense.
For some months past he has been
canvassing the islands on behalf of
the Cosmopolitan and other maya
zines and complaints are coming TO
hand from people who have paid sub
scriptions to Leeper for magazines
and who have failed to receive the
publications which are now long over
due.

always Of that?'
Schwencker did not reply at once to
Durand's pecvish rebuke. "Or in Ber-
lin he mused audibly, lin a pleasant
bierkCHCr, with music playing and a
breeze in the branches overhead. Ach,
Gott, that boundary commission"
The commission had passed through
Bondoulou six months ago-a German
lieutenant, French lieutenant, and
three civilian engineers, German,
French and English, with an escort Of
two hundred native trdHleurS, choppers
and chainmen. For two days they had
paused there, during which time Bon
doukou was become as the Field Of
the Cloth Of Gold The commissioners
brought whisky with them, and Cognac,
and kummel, and the illustrated papers
of the Latin and the Goth. For two
DAYS Schwcncker and Durand had rev
eled each in his native language. 1t
was a talk-fest, an orgy Of language
in which the pinl; and yellow English
man alone showed moderation. Then
the commission had cut its way into
the jungle again. leaving two Tapping
hags behind 1.-THE blue, white and red

had the better right there Was Bou-
loukou French or German? Was it
in the domain Of Dahomey, and thus
an appanage Of the Third Republic?
or was it in Togo territory, and thus
a city of the empire?
Lieutenant Delafossc had privately
informed Durand that the place was
French. TO Schwencker's agitated
query, Lieutenant Hufnagel had whis-
pered an unmistakable "Hoch der Ksi-
ser !" Durand and Schwencker had
each kept his secret TO himself for a
week after the commission left Then

EOR a thousand miles IN all III
reimbursement 70 the south,
Where wallowcd and shimmered the
sinking Gulf of Guinea lay the
tangled, steaming West African jungle,
Durand and Schwencier knew this, yet
they hated each other. They sat in
the darkness in front of Schwencker's
mud house. Tomorrow night they
would be sitting in the darkness in
front of Durands mud house. They
were punctillous in such matters. Du-
rand, as the latest arrival, had called
Ron SchwenckCr first, naturally; but as
soon aS he had his house built he had
received a visit from Schwencker, and
then, next night, Durand had returned
the call. 1t had been going on like
that ever since The jungle sounds
no longer interested them. The boom
Ing Of night-hyine beetles or the occa-
sional scream Of a night bird were un-
noticed incidents in the damp and sui
try oppression of darkness that shut
them in. Natives were grooming in
some hut at the other end Of the street.

forest as a woman frightened prowIer

residents Of Bondoukou sat together in
mutual distrust thinking of other
things.

mission is to home already" said
Schwencker gloomily.
He spoke no French and Durand
spoke no German, SO they conversed in
English.
"Yes, DicW! But why do you speak
}lways of that? They are in Paris,
on the boulevard, where It is sweet and
cool, where there are no insects, no
<uiggcrs, no jungle, and only beautiful
