Ebert King, a northern soldier left
for dead on a southern battlefield, re-
covers consciousness near farmhouse,
where he hears Jean Denslow, a beau
tiful daughter of the south, tell her
negro servant, Joe. that soon she must
marry Calvert Dunn, whom she does
not love. King overhears Colonel Dens-
low and the chaplain discuss a move
ment to surprise the Federals. Anx-
fous to get away with the information,
he fntercepts the prospective bride

Under cover of his disguise and to
save himself he is married to Jean
Denslow. Still undetected. he starts
on horseback with his bride to Dunn's
home. En- route she discovers the de-
ception. Furious, she gallops off to
warn the Confederates. Her horse

LAST WEEK OF CONTEST
STARTS WITH A RUSH
Five days more left!

Five days more left!
The Stars great $4,000 prize contest
ends next Saturday. On the last day
the contest department will remain
open for receiving votes up till eight
o'clock in the evening, after which
time no more votes will be issued for
any subscriptions or ballots turned in.
Contestants outside of Honolulu who
depend on the mails must bear this IN
mind, for Immediately upon the clos
ing of the contest a board of judges
to be named, will begin at once the
canvas of the votes and will an
announce the prize winners as soon as
they have completed this work. The
names of the winners, together with
the final standing of all the candi-
dates, will be announced in the Star

The double credit which has been
given on subscriptions and ballots
turned in since last Wednesday Will
end at o'clock on next Wednesday
morning. 1t is thus to the advantage
of all contestants to do their hardest
work before that time and thus get the
greatest value for their efforts
Last week was a busy one in the
contest department, and there will
probably be a number of important
changes in the standing of workers
when the list is published in Wednes-
days Star.
An interesting phase of the contest
is the fact that a number of contest
ants who announced more than a
month ago that they had completely
covered their fields and that there
were no more subscriptions to be had,
have since found out that they had
just well started, and have since made
bigger gains than at any time during
the contest. The reason for this is
doubtless largely due to the fact that
as friends of the workers have become

early in the race that not more than
three years subscription would be
