The Klamath Is due here Saturday

Heved she Is carrying passengers for
Honolulu. Advices from the mainland
state that her schedule called for q
departure from Honolulu August 8 or
for Hilo, where she Is due to load
railroad ties and wood blocks for San
Diego, but there Is some doubt locally
whether or not the steamer can I'M
load her cargo Of piling In so short a

The Klamath is expected to be join.
ed later by similar steamers playing
between Honolulu and coast ports

of $40 first-class and $25 second-class.

now, returning, the steamer carried

SHIPPING FOLKS
NOT READY TO
TALK YET

Few men in local shipping circles
will discuss for publication the pro.
posal to suspend that part Of the coast
wise law which prohibits foreign ships
carrying passengers between Hawaii
and the mainland. E. Faxon Bishop OF
C. Brewer & Company. local agents
for the Oceanic Steamship Company,
is one businessman who is an excep-
ton.
Zone day the chamber is against
snspending the coastwise act and the
next day ii switches the other way
around" remarked Mr.. Bishop, "un-
til we never can tell which way the
wind blows, so to speak. Do favor
the suspension? Well. now, / cant
say that ] do or don't. In one way it
will relieve tourists OF a lot Of worry
about getting return accommodations
hut on the other hand 1t would be just
one more blow 70 the American mer.
chant marine and we all know that 1t
wont take much now to kill what is
left of the American merchant fleet"
John Drew is manager OF the ship
ping department of Castle & Cooke
Castle & Cooke are agents for the To
70 Kisen Kaisha and the Matson Nav
igation Company The former line
flies the Japanese flag and is not al
lowed to carry passengers to and from
Honolulu and San Francisco on &C.
count of the coastwise law. Suspen
sion would help that lire considerable
but it is argued that with Castle &
Cooke it would be simply into one
hand out of the other" as the suspen-
sion would take passengers from the
American-registered Matson line. and
ship them over the T. K. K. Mr.
Drew is strictly neutral"-he says
and saws wood"
Pacific Mail representatives here
won't discuss the matter.

You'll excuse me, sah," said Sam.
There amt no gentlemen calls when
the masters away"
would $40 change your opinion?"
inquired the shabby little detective.
ct might said Sam, eff there was
any. But seeing there amt, it would
not"
Sam swung on his heel, but the lit
tie man came hurrying after him, and
began speaking rapidly, in tense
whispers. He Haunted the SO bill
under Sans nose again. Sam caught
him by the collar and shook his huge
black fist under his nose.
The next day there was another
man in his place, who took no notice
of Sam.
Sam could not help seeing the mail
and he recognized the writing of GER
tain letters very well. He was at his
wits end how to proceed. Once he
caught the second shabby man at
tempting to enter the house in the
guise of gas inspector, just after
the postman called. The second man
had the mail in his hand when Sam
collared him and pushed him into the L..
street.
SAM" said his mistress, you can
start on your vacation tomorrow"
Yes, ma'am, thank you," said
Sam.
You can take your two full weeks
and your money"
ooh, Lord, Mis- Ammt, don't want
to go now,' said Sam imploringly.
His look might have melted a stone,
but Mrs. Ammt was seized with fury.
'I'm tired of your spying about
me-" she cried, stamping her foot. 81
tell you to go-and afterward you
can report to Mr.. Ammt for instruc-
tons"
Eyes, ma am" said Sam humbIy.
He went after breakfast, but was
back at his post that afternoon. He
came in at an hour when he knew his

trouble him there or to suspect his
presence.
1t was a big house. The servants
downstairs could not hear what went
on in the drawing rooms. But Sans
ears heard the unmistakable but soft
click of key in the latch. He was
down the stairs like panther be-
fore the man who was coming up
had reached the top of the first flight.
And yet, swiftly as he moved, he had
caught a glimpse of Lily Ammt, seat
ed upon the lounge under the electric
light, pretending to read, and waiting
for the man she loved with all her
heart.
He knew, too, that the second
shabby man was somewhere in the
street opposite.
Sans voice rose loud at the head
of the first flight of stairs. .-,
Mis- Ammt's very sorry, Mr..
Trent, sir" said Sam. "She's very
sorry she can't see you this evening.
You see, sir, Mr.. Ammt's away on
business, sir"
Sans heart almost melted as he
looked into the despairing face of the
man in front of him. Upstairs he
heard the rustic of the pages cease
and he knew that Lily Ammt had
heard
'Mr. Ammt asked me to say how
sorry he was, SIR" continued Sam,
standing implacably in front of
Trent.
HE did, eh?" stammered Trent.
''Who the dickens are your"
"Why, I'm Sam, SIR" answered
Sam. Never had any other name, l
reckon. Don't you remember seeing
me, sir, when you called on Mr.. and
Mrs. Ammt last month? 1t was me
handed you the cigar box, sir"
That was the height of Sans in
ventive ability. He had never seen
Trent in his life before and Trent
had certainly never called there.
AS the man turned away and be-
