Nathalie's laugh rang merrily over
the wire, and Bruce was smiling as he
hung up the receiver; but his brows
drew together in a perplexed frown
as he opened the handbag half an
hour later and looked over the con-
tents.
The papers were important legal
documents of some kind-and there
was letter addressed to Miss Rita
Carlton On the back of the picture
which Nathalie had designated as
lovely was written in girlish hand,
with fondest love of Rita"
Bruce looked at the pictured face
long and earnestly. Something in the
wide, dark eyes serious under their
level brows, and in the contradictory
curve of the mutinous lips fascinated
him.
by Jove! 1t is lovely face.
Rita-the name suits her. Ii were to
meet girl like this, and she looked
at me with such eyes, and smiled at
me with those lips-well, Miss Rita

Nathalie had expected that her
brother would go at once to the store
where he had made his unusual pur
chase, and, having returned the bag,
make another selection in honor CT
the day. Forgetful of natal days and
promised favors, however, Bruce
Bowie waited until he had finished
his work at the office, and then made
his way to certain address CORE

letter in the hang-bag.

"DRUMMER BOY" TO RETIRE

A bill was introduced recently in the
lower house of Congress by Mr.. Ash
worth of Ohio to retire with the rank
of major general three of the best
known officers in the United States
army. In the memorandum attached
to the bill it is stated that these three
men, with single exception, form the
last remnant of that army of a million
and half men who fought for the
preservation of the Union"
The exception referred to is Maj.
Daniel w. Arnold of the quartermas-
ter's department, who also retires by
age limit next summer. However, he
does not figure in the bill because OF
the fact that it was not until SO years
after Appomattox that he came into
the army as an officer from civil life,

.BALLENTYNE PLANS
Street SPRINKuNG
FOR ALL HONOLULU
(From Thursday s Advertiser.)


Superintendent Balientyne of the
rapid transit company has made ten
tative offer to the supervisors on be-
half of his company to take over the
street watering work of the city and is
now securing the prices on equipment
in order to be able to make definite
proposition. Mr.. Ballentyne believes
it will be possible for the rapid transit
company to water every street in the
city covered by the rapid transit lines,
from end to end giving more water
than at present, and do the work at
very large saving over the present cost
of watering only part of the same main
streets.
"We can give the city better and
an increased service at less cost,p is
the way the rapid transit manager puts
it.
Builders of rapid transit rolling
stock are now turning out streets
sprnkling tanks to be run over rapid
transit lines. These tanks carry loads
of four hundred barrels and the water
is shot from the sprinklers under air
pressure, making it possible for the car
operators to shoot the water from curb
to curb of the widest street. The idea
here, if the scheme is adopted. will be
to operate two such tank cars, to run
from end to end of all the existing car
lines, keeping the streets well sprin-
killed.. Stand pipes will have to be put
in at various points along the line ex-
cept in the center of the city, where
the water supply could be obtained at
the rapid transit engine house. The
superintendent of public works has
agreed to install six.inch stand pipes
as soon as they may be called for, such
pipes being necessary for the quick
filing of the tanks.
"With two tanks and four men we
could do more than is now being done
with eight sprinklers, sixteen mules and
! the ten or twelve men on the job, be-
sides increasing the service to extend to
| our own entire right of-way,' says Mr..
Ballentyne. "I have suggested this to
| the supervisors and they appear to be
favorable to the plan. / have written
to the mainland for complete figures of
cost and will be able to give the super.
visors definite figures very shortly. Tt
would not take long to get the tank
cars here if the city wants to make a
contract with us at figure that will
give us reasonable profit on the work.
I am satisfied that we could improve
the service very largely, doubling the
present service, at less money than is
now spent.
cone value of sprinkling under air
pressure is that the streets can not
only be sprinkled every morning, but
washed down. The force Of the spray
would wash every bit of dust into the
cutters, while we could give water
enough to carry 1t off into the sewers.

AVIATOR, NOW FATHER,
REMEMBERED IN CITY

Clarence II. Walker, the Coast avia-
for, became the proud papa of boy at
San Mateo, California, May 2S.
Walker viii be remembered here in
connection with his visit to Honolulu
last year with Mason, the French avia-
tor. They made several successful
flights both at Leilehua and from Lei
lehua to Kapiolani Park.
AT Hilo, June 10, 1911, Walker had
quite an accident in which his Curtiss
biplane was wrecked. He rose several
hundred feet in the air, starting from
Hoolulu Park, made a wide detour
around by Reed s Bay and, on his re-
turn to Hoolulu Park, as he tried to
gain a higher elevation, his machine
caught in lauhala tree. He escaped
with only slight injuries but the biplane
suffered considerably.
