Honolulu, r. H., Oct. 24.-The
German schooner Aeolus, captured by
the Japanese battleship Hizen off
Honolulu harbor, early today, was
towed out to a point ten miles off this
port tonight and sunk.
After the Aeolus was cut loose from
the war vessel, 1t was permitted to
drift half mile away. Then the
Hizen with searchlight playing upon
the doomed craft, fired IA shells from
small guns and the Aeolus disappeared.
A Daring Dash.
A daring attempt to escape from his
japanese captors was made late today
by Captain Lemmin of the Aeolus. A
press boat which had put out from
Honolulu to visit the Hizen was re-
turning to shore when Captain Lem
min jumped into the shark infested
water and tried to swim to the boat.
The Hizen's gunners promptly threat
i,ened to fire upon the newspaper men
if any attempt was made to pick up
the swimmer. A boat was lowered

Mary Roberts Rheinhardt's '"rhe

romance and a CHEEKY and delightful
one. 1t is the story of two very

vations In ambitions name in the vi
emma student quarters. There is SEN
timent, but it never clogs and the oc-
casionaI sadness is put to rout every
time by the ebullience of sunshine and

virons are musical, all of the young
people with careers to consider and all
of them throwing aside discourage
ment with a most refreshing vigor.
The love story of Harmony Wells and
the light-hearted and gifted Peter

story. OF course it might be disputed

Florence L. Barclays "The Wall of

thor's other books, is a very pleasant
love story. At no time in all its
pages is any enduring sadness per-
mitted to creep into the book, and if
there are tears they are few and fit

the man and woman in 1.-The Wall of
Partition are brought together And
they meet one another at the end of
the decade in a most interesting fash
ion. They have adjacent apartments
in the same London dwelling and it is
a wrong phone number that discovers
them to one another. When they
meet she finds that he has become an
author Of eminence and he finds that
she is a widow and willing to admit
her error in permitting the parting
| those many years ago. The thing
| comes to a happy conclusion, as in
deed do all Of Mrs. Barclays books,
and it has every one of the properties
of thoroughly satisfactory love story.

therefore, unmutilated trees are
worth in the way of added value
when real estate is to be sold.
Oftener than not it is better
to let the shade trees alone. If
for any reason any cutting of
branches is advisable it is well
to get an expert to do the work.
AS experts are rare, and pro-
claimed experts numerous and
importunate, it is very well to
sit nearby and look on when any
cutting is done. By hating the
vandal and sparing branch you
may save more than the worth of
your time.
When the fever for rearrange-

ments. But when the trees are
mutilated the damage is done,

stances he knows no more about
how trees should be trimmed, or
whether they should be trimmed,
than a pig knows about geome-
try. The mutilated trees he
leaves bleeding in his wake silent
