Jonah's Tomb.-The site Of Ninevah
is almost perfectly level. But adJoin-
ing the western wall are two huge
mounds concealing the burial places OF
the greatest kings Of Assyria. The
lower or southern mound Is occupied
by a mosque and a village OF consid-
able size.
It's name is Nebi Yunus, or the
Prophet Jonah, for in the mosque is
the tomb In which Jonah Is said TO
have been buried. The age or the
tomb is uncertain, yet probaply II
dates from long after the Hebrew
prophets time. However, the place is
now sacred, so sacred that pilgrims
visit 1t from afar.

But the noise behind grew louder
The faster went the old mall; the fas-
ter came the pursuers-men, horses,
dogs, were leagued in the pursuit. The
noise was frightful, but above all rose
the voice Of the young lady, urging
my uncle on, and shrieking Faster!

still my uncle could hear the young

My uncle piled whip and rein, and
the horses few onward till they were
white with foam; and yet the noise
behind increased, and yet the young
lady cried, Faster! faster!" My uncle
gave. loud stamp upon the boot In
the energy Of the moment, and-found
that 1t was gray morning, and he was
sitting In the wheelwright's yard on
the box of an old Edinburgh mail,
shivering with the cold and wet, and
stamping his feet to warm them! He
got down and looked eagerly inside for
the beautiful young lady-alas! there
was neither door nor seat to the coach
1T was a mere shell.
OF course my uncle knew very well
that there was some mystery In the
matter. and that everything had pass
ed exactly as he used to relate 1t. He
remained stanch to the great oath he
had sworn to the beautiful young lady:
refusing several eligible landladies on
her account. and died bachelor at
last. He always said what a curious
thing 1t was that he should have found
out, by such a mere accident as his
clambering over the palings, that the
ghosts Of mail coaches and horses,
guards. coachmen, and passengers
were In the Eabit Of making journeys
regularly every night: he used to add
that he believed he was the only living
person who had ever been taken as a
passenger on one Of these excursions;
and think he was right, gentlemen
at least never heard Of any other.
II wonder what these ghosts Of mall
coaches carry In their bags" said the
Landlord, who had listened to the
whole story with profound attention.
"The dead letters Of course" said
the bagman.
"Oh, ah-to be sure" rejoined the
landlord. II never thought Of that"

THE BAGMAN'S .......
UNCLE'S STORY
By CHARLES DICKENS.

[This STORY Of the Bagman's Uncle"
told by the jolly bagman-nowadays
called commercial traveller"-to Mr..
Pickwick and his friends as they all
sat about the taproom fire, is one OF
the most Characteristic and famous of
the short stories which are imbeded in
the narrative of the "Pickwick Pa
pers."l r-... a.
He was a wonderful man, that
uncle Of yours, though" remarked the
landlord, shaking his head.
We'll, I think he was; / think l
may say he was" answered the one
eyed man. 81 could tell you a story
about that same uncle, gentlemen, that
would rather surprise you"
Gould your" said Mr.. Pickwick.
LET us hear 1t by all means"
The one-eyed bagman ladled out q
glass Of negus from the bowl, and
drank It, smoked q long Whit out or
the Dutch pipe, and then calling to
Sam Weller, who was lingering near
the door, that he needn't go away un-
less he wanted to, because the story
was no secret, fixed his eyes upon the
landlords, and proceeded:

meant 1t too.

young lady. My dear, kind brave pre-

Don't said my uncle, interrupting
her.
"Why?" inquired the young lady.

uncle. that I'm afraid I shall be rude

into q roguisn smile-if you are very
near them, and nobody else by-you
cannot better testify your admiration

by kissing them at once. My uncle did
so, and 1 honor him for 1t.
"Hark!" cried the young lady, start
ing. "The noise of wheels and horses.
We are pursued. I have no hope but
in YOU"
There was such an expression Of ter

made up his mind at once. He lifted
her into the coach, told her not to be
frightened pressed his lips to hers
once more, and then advising her to
draw up the window to keep the cold
air out mounted to the box.
"Will you never love any one but
me-never marry any one beside?"

My uncle swore a great oath that he
never would marry any body else, and
the young lady drew in her head, and
pulled up the window. He jumped upon
the box, squared his elbows, adjusted

on the roof, gave one flick to the off

MAHUKA SIIECOST
PASSES limit
MARK

At the END OF hearing that has
been In progress since early last De-
cember the jury I'm the fourth Mahuka
site case yesterday afternoon handed
in its decision In fifteen minutes after
the case had been sumbitted to 1t,
awarding the Austin estate, owners OF
the property occupied by e. o. Hall
q Son, at the corner Of Fort and King
streets, the sum OF $lSS,640 for It's
interest.
This award makes certain the fact
that Congress must make a consider
ably larger appropriation for the Fed
eral buiIding site in Honolulu than
the $S50,00s which 1t originally auth
orised the Secretary Of the Treasury
to use In acquiring the necessary pro-
perty. The total already awarded
owners and lessees on the present
proposed site by juries reaches $780,
209.S2. This includes yesterdays
award, but, the fifth and final suit re-
mains to be heard, to, determine the
amount OF compensation e. o. Hall &
Son shall receive for their lease and
Cor damages by being forced to go to
new location. This undoubtedly will
extend the total to a sum well over
the 100000 mark.

clients are satisfied with the recent
verdict and that no appeal will be
taken; u. s.. District Attorney Brec-

this sentiment.
The final suit will be taken up at
the earliest possible moment and
rushed TO completion, in an effort to
determine definitely the amount re-

FLOWING in.
HAWAII
.s-l |ZII

According to the goYernments re-
port which has just been submitted
by Charles A. CottrilL Collector of
Internal Revenue, $20.967 has, been
collected during the past year for the
United States government, through
the internal revenue Department. OF
the Territory of Hawaii, on ferment-
ed beverages produced in this terri
tory. =.
The largest amount of the ferment-
ed productions in the Territory dur
ing the past year was beer, although
about one-fourth of the amount was
saki This amount does not include
the thousands of gallons of beer and
saki which are annually imported into
the Territory and on which tax has
been collected at some other point.
A tax of one dollar per barrel of thir-
ty-one gallons is collected on all fer
mented liquor, and the local produc-
ton reprents a total of 649,977 gal
Ions. These figures show a decided
increase over those for the year 1911,
and during that period a revenue tax
was paid on 1865 barrels of beer
and saki, which represents a total OF
556, 800 gallons. Through these fig
ures it is estimated that 1922 bar
rels Of beer and saki, or 93,O52 gal
hons, were consumed to excess in
1911.
1t is believed by those VINO have
made an investigation of the matter
that the cause of this increase in the
amount of liquor used in the Terri
tory last year is on the part of the
Asiatics and not the whites. This
belief is based on the fact that dur.
ing the past year the beer brewery
has been operated practically to full
capacity, and on the other hand the
smaller and less we'll equipped saki
hreweries have been unable to meet
the demand for their production.
