bike RACE FROM
HALEIWA TO THE
WAIKIKI INN ON

A popular sport. that has lain in
tie discard for many moons, will be
busted off and held up to public view
again next week when two speedy
bike racers will cover the marathon
route from Haleiwa hotel to the Wal
kild Inn. The race will be more than
q mere pedaling jaunt, for the two
riders have staked real money, 70 the
considerable sum of $500 EACH. on
the outcome. Both are experienced
bike racers. and what is still more to
the point, both are in the best of con-
dition. -s,, -
- The competitors will be Henry K.
Plemer of Waialua and VIM. F. Ivy
Of Co. A, 25th Infantry. Ivy has been
getting into shape for racing for
some time, and when he thought him
self ready he issued a challenge
which Plemer jumped at. The lat
ter is well known as a. road racer and
has figured prominently in several of
the bike races held In connection with
the Haleiwa- Honolulu marathon run. +
L. p. George, manager of the motor
cycle and bicycle branch of the Schu.
man Carriage Co, is stakeholder, and
is arranging the details of the race.
ne Is an old hand at the game and
both riders were glad to leave the
management Of the race in his hands.
Plemer rides ain liver Johnson, and
Ivy am Oakland machine. and among
bike experts the race is looked on as
a test of machines as well as of riders.
The racers will be sent away from
the Haleiwa hotel. at 8 o'clock next
Monday morning. They will be fol-
lowed by motorcycles and autos, but
win be given a clear road ahead, SO
that their speed viii not be checked
by dust and distinctions.

 This was the most astonishing dis closure that Tom had yet heard
 'You?" he almost shouted his amazement.
 Van Vechten nodded. 'I saw her in the crowd at the alley, Sunday, and again at a window across the street while we were returning here. Wheth' CT she is the girl in the dark or Jessie, ] do not know; but"
 Describe her." Tom eagerly inter. rupted
 "She is slender, her hair and eyes are dark She is very beautiful

 Their talk wandered far into the realm of speculation, carrying them over the luncheon hour and back to their seats in the lounge. It was profit. less. and the entry of messenger with a sheaf of cablegrams for Van Yechten came as a welcome diversion, although anticipation lent the inci dent an unwonted excitement.

CHAPTER V


 During this ride it occurred to Van Vechten that he had seen nothing of Tom Phinney since he had sent him away brusQuely the day before. He wondered not little at his friend prolonged absence. hoped that Tom was not buGy and finally concluded that he had tired of waiting upon an uncertainty and had gone off upon some iaunt of his own.
 The Man of Iron hardened attentive ly to what Rudolph had to say, but if the narration prompted any misgivings he showed them not at an. He consid- cred a moments after the younger man had finished. then said
 "One woman might drop from sight in a number of ways, but it is too im- probable to believe that both Paige and Josephine could have been made away with without a ripple reaching the shore. Both merit a stern rebuke. although apprehend that nothing seri- ous has happened.
 And Theodore Van Vechten dis missed the subject nor would he dis cuss it any further during Ruloiph' 8 stay.
 A furious thunderstorm was raging when the latter was ready t0 depart, so he perforce dined with bis uncle, and instead of returning to the Pow hatan, went directly to the Kenmore, where he surprised Baruicle with an explicit injunction not tc be permit ted to sleep a minute later than seven o'clock.
 Seven, did you say, sir?" asked Barnicle, too thundersuuck to believe his own ears.

FLYING FOXES OF INDIA.
During the Day They Sleep In Trees,
Hanging Head Downward.


People who have lived in India are
familiar with the long strings of flying
foxes which can often be seen vending
their way In single file from their
sleeping places in remote trees to the
fruit gardens upon which they prey.
These curious creatures, says a writ
er in the Wide World Magazine, some
times measure as much as four feet
across the wings and have reddish
brown fur and mole colored wings.
After their nocturnal depredations they
fly away with the dawn to n tree in
some isolated place and there rest dur
ing the day. hanging head downward
from the boughs in the manner OF bats,
clutching the branch with their feet.
AS the flying foxes gather on the tree
selected there is tremendous commo-
ton, for each newcomer is vigorously
driven Off from one place after another
until he eventually manages to secure
a perch for himself. Those on the tree
meanwhile keep up an incessant wran-
Cling. each endeavoring TO secure the
highest and best place to rest on.
Sometimes many hundreds of these de-
structive creatures may he seen hang
ing from the branches Of large tree.
When opportunity offers they are Of
ten shot. and some of the natives con-
slider their flesh delicacy, though 1t
hardly appeals to Europeans.
