SOME DREAM
Editor Honolulu star-Builetin,


Sir:-I am fugitive from justice
That is. I am fugitive from the off,
GERS, The chances are that II the
truth was all told the justice wodld be
on my side. Still, what can stow
away do against a lot of officers that
are going to shove" him regardless,
and he has no witnesses on his side?
That much of my identity am going
10 let out and no more, and would
not say this much now, only that the
experience that have passed through
or did pass through during the first
day Of last week makes me open my
mouth on account Of its wonderful
ness and also its helpfulness looked
at from scientific standpoint. But
] will not waste words. Here is the
story. / do not expect it to be be-
lieved. but the time will come when
the truth OF my assertion will be re-
membered.
Last Monday night, when 1t was
well dark so that might venture out
with partial safety. for, as said be-
fore. there is price on nay head as 1t
were. was skulking along the water
front In the shadow. Of the high fence
that surrounds the marine barracks
at which | believe is known as Camp
Very, when j suddenly became aware
that somebody was following me and
] started to make tracks up Richards
street. and by the clatter of feet be-
hind me and the demand that / halt
] knew that was not mistaken In my
man, and that some ''peeler" was hot
footing 1t after me. l doubled back
around the old fishmarket building
and crossed the street. Noticing some
construction work going on. just be-
low the electric light works hdodged
inside the sort of open way and took
a survey Of the situation. 1t was clear
that had not succeeded in shaking
of my follower, and If was going TO
make q move must make il in a
hurry. CLOSE to the building there
appeared to be what seemed to me a
construction elevator, and as there
) was a lot of work going on there /
made the right kind of a guess and up
the elevator / went. climbing on the
inside OF the frame, as the cross
braces made footholds perfectly safe.
Arriving at the top, found that there
was big hole In the roof Of the build
ing, and that there was an exceeding
" cold wave coming from some place.
From the voices I could hear below
IN the street / was made aware that
there were two men looking for me
now and 1t was my move it expect
ed to keep out of limbo.
There was just light enough for
me TO see that there was some kind
ora landing about eisht feet below
me on the inside of the building. and
as taking chances. at the present at
least, Is a part of my stock in trade,
i took chance and made a drop,
landing on something that appeared
to be solid and at the same time was
: as cold as ice, and believe me, dis
covered that 1t was ice after / had
felt around for few seconds. Well,
couldn't stand there and get colder
by the second, and besides there was
9 possibility Of somebody coming up
the construction staging on the out
side of the building as / had done, SO
carefully felt my way toward the
darkest part. Of the room or icehouse
or. whatever il was that was in. Sud.
denly felt that was slipping OF the
level that had been crawling over.
made q frantic grab as went over
the edge, but person might as well
grab at sunbeam as at q piece Of ice
and expect to get retaining hold.
I seemed to strike the next blocks OF
ice below and IN turn slid OF these
and fetched up with slight bump on
the next ledge that appeared not to
be like the rest but sloped away
smoothly for many feet as II its
shape had been caused by continual
melting for q long time, and to the
feeling of the hand II was perfectly
smooth and glass-like. Down this
went or slid. notwithstanding my eff.
forts to grab the polished surface, and
fetched up with bang against the
side of the building. | have a faint
recollection of dropping through
stunned slightly. for when Iscame to
my senses was lying on my back
on very wet floor, wood not ice this
time, and was conscious of the fact
: that as is generally the case where a
person has received a blow on the
head, that was seeing all kinds of
weird shapes and peculiar things that
] had never dreamed of in this world.
And even with the strenuousness of
the situation that was in at that mo-
ment / could not help but think of
those funny pictures that appeared
in the daily papers under the caption
Lulu and Leander," and OF how Lee
ander would exclaim, after he had
been subject to tumble down a
flight Of stairs and was coming out
of the daze that naturally followed,
what makes the little birds sing
so?" Well, that condition of affairs
seemed to be getting grip on me-
1 could hear sort of buzzing in my
head along with the other sensations
that I had never experienced before
But on top of all this there was a
something that cannot describe but
wish that could. First of all there
was a terrible light, startling in its
intensification, that hit me fuf in ne
face, The sublime and overpowering
briiliancy ran only he Qrasned 0r
