CHAPTER XII.
The Needle in the Haystack.

The almost-married couple sat long
in mutual terror and common par
alysis Of ingenuity. Marjorie, for lack
OF anything better to do, was absent
mindedly twisting Snoozleum's ears,
while he, that pocket abridgment of a
dog, in we'll meaning effort to d.
vert her from her evident grief, made
a great pretense of ferocity, growing
and threatening to bite her fingers
off. The new ring attracted his spe-
cial jealousy. He was growing dis
couraged at the ill-success OF his i'm
personation of a wolf, and detected
at being so crassly ignored, when he
suddenly became, in his turn, a center
Of interest.
Marjorie was awakened from her
trance of hamilton by the porter's
voice. His plantation voice was Or
dinarily as thick and sweet as his own
New Orleans sorghum, but now it had
a bitterness that curdled the blood:
"'Scuse me, but how did you-all git
that theah dog in this heah cah?'
"Snoozleums is always with me-"
said Marjorie briskly, as if that set
tied it, and turned for confirmation
to the dog himself. aren't you,
Snoozleums?"
Well" the porter drawled, trying
to be gracious with his great power,
1.-The rules don't low no live stock In
the sleepin' cars, 'ceptin' humans
Marjorie rewarded his condescen-
sion with a blunt: "Snoozleums Is
more human than you are"
Il p'sume he is,' the porter adj
mitted. "but he can't make up berths.
Anyway, the rules says dogs goes
with the baggage"
Marjorie swept rules aside with a
defiant: Il don't care. won't be
separated from my Snoozleums."
She looked to Mallory for support,
but he was too sorely troubled with
greater anxieties to be capable OF any
action.
The porter tried persuasion: You

couple of dogs out the window trip

THE brute"
ooh, yassum, he Is regular brute.
He just loves to hear m splosh when

Noting the SILVER that shook the
girl, the porter offered a bit of con-
ISOLATION:
Better femme have the pore little
thing up in the baggage cab. He'll be
in charge of lovely baggage-smash

Are you sure he's a nice man."
"Oh, yassum, he's death on trunks.

sobbed. Poor little Snoozleums! Can
he come back and see me tomorrow"
Marjorie's tears were splashing on
the puzzled dog, who nestled close,
with foreboding of disaster.

him.

Religious
Fanaticisnl
Peculiar Actions Result Fatally At
Lahaina.

Mrs. Napaepae, a Hawaiian wo-
man, living at Lahaina, became i'm
bued with an over abundance of re-
lgious enthusiasm, and by that
we do not mean religion--and in
her exuberance she forced her i'm
mediate family to do all sorts of
fool things.
In the family was a married
daughter, and because of her physi-
cal condition, these fanatical doings
OF the mother had drawn the atten-
ton OF the community. The daugh-
ter had recently given birth to
child, and when the husband told
them they were not worshipping
God, but idols, he was driven from
the house. Later when the child
was about week old, the grand
mother decided it should be bap-
tlzed. She started the family at
about midnight, and everybody
walked to the church to see the
child baptized. Next came the cut
ting down of trees about the house.
The final action of this eccentric
woman was when she decreed >that
the entire family must take a cold
plunge in the morning This no doubt
was good thing for those in good
health, but for the young mother it
was too much, and she died Satur-
day morning. The week old baby
had died Friday evening. The dead
woman had been in poor health be-
fore the baby came, but there is no
doubt in the minds of many Laha-
ina residents that the unusual and
unnecessary exposure hurried her to
Eer grave.

The Makena
Launched
The Raymond Ranch Will Have Vessel
To Ship Fresh Beef.

A fine new gasoline engined ves-
sci of about twenty tons, which has
been under construction in Homo
lulu for some time, was launched
this week. As the little vessel glided
off the ways the little son of Dr..
Raymond christiened it the Ma
kena.'
For long time the Raymond
Ranch people have seen the possibi-
lities of the Honolulu market for
anyone who could get fresh meat to
town in anything like good shape.
The Inter- Island boats are untitled
for the proper handling of beef, SO
the only thing left was to build a
boat, and fit her expressly for this
trade, and this is what the Make
LII WILL Dc.
The little ship will be practically
floating refrigerator for the trans
portatiop of fresh killed beef.
The new boat will total between
nineteen and twenty tons net and
will be propelled by gasoline engines
with approximately 50-horsepower.
The vessel measures 56.7 feet in
length, 1871 feet in breadth. and
has depth of 4.5 feet.
It is understood that the boat will
be used exclusively in the transpor-
tation OF dressed beef between Maui
or Molokai and Honolulu.
The best of imported and native
wood is going into the construction
to thisi latest addition to Honolulu
built vessels. The boat will be fitted
with at least one mast to carry sail
in event of a breakdown in her
machinery.

for fear the sight Of the five quarts

The Unions
And Politics
Locally They will Have Their Own
Men in the Field.

That the labor unionists of Maui
will play an important part in the
coming political campaign is evident
by the fact that already the labor
leaders are feeling the pulse of their
friends, many of whom have joined
the Hui Uniona. According to the
present indications, it will either
put up men Independently or sup
port candidates of the other political
parties, regardless of their affiliations.
One of the leaders OF the union
had the following to say recently
regarding the situation: SO far,
the sentiment of the members of the
Hui Uniona of Maui is for good
men. The hui consists of Repub-
licans, Democrats and Home Rulers,
but, irrespective Of their political
faith, it is the intention of the menu
bers to support good men for legis-
lative and county tickets to be put
up at the coming campaign.
AS for the Delegate to Congress,
we are unanimously in favor of
Prince Kuhio, whom we believe has
done good work in Congress. He
will most assuredly get the support
of the labor unions"
Commenting on the legislative
possibilities, the speaker said that it
is their intention to support George
Cooke of Molokai for the Senate.
The union men claim they will
put up one of their number for
Chairman of the Board of Super.
visors and also for Sheriff. q
There is no question but that the
union will cut some figure at the
coming election, but just how much
will depend on the ability of their
leaders to hold them together.
