Facing of Rifle Bullets, Though
Greatest Stunt. is Only
One in Repertoire L

Three enlisted men. armed with ser
vice rifles loaded with regulation
steel cartridges, stood in the rear Of
the Bijou theater Monday evening,
and. al a given signal, fired point
blank at a small black piece Of cloth
which Hugard, the Australian con-
jurer, held over his heart Simultane
Gus with the crack OF the rifles the
bullets apparently struck Hugard and
rolled harmlessly to the floor But
they. left three splotches of white on
the black cloth TO show where they
had struck. =:.
This was but one of a hundred or
more stunts" with which Hugard en-.
tertained his initial audience in Homo
lulu, and from beginning to end the
performance, one of the best ever
shown in the city, was series of
mysteries and tricks. many of the lat.

Expert With Cards
Aside from showing himself ap-
rarently immune from destruction by
rifle fire. Hugard proved to be an ex.
pert with playing cards, performing
mystffying tricks under the very noses
OF two, men from the audience, who
watched the conjurer's every move
but failed TO discover the mode of de-
ceptfon. Merely by slapping card
In full view of the audience Hugard
changes IL from an ace to a king, or
from the jack of hearts to the deuce
of clubs. One Of those on the stage
who selected card from pack lost
track OF IL in some manner and later
discovered that he was sitting on It.
Hugard accused both men from the
audience of stealing his cards ard
then proceeded to shake hundreds of
the pasteboard squares from their
pockets and finally removed a live
duck from under one of the mems
coats. ..;
One of the cleyerest tricks per-
formed by Hngard was that with a
dozen hoops, apparently made of the
finest steel and flawless. They were
passed among the. audience and no
flaws were discovered But Hugard,
without the slightest effort, was able
to link them together at will.

Another feature of the performance
was an exhibition of conjuring by
Ching Sung Loo-who, on the stage,
looks remarkably like Hugard-yclept
the Oriental wizard, who kept the
audience guessing for an hour One
of the spectacular things he did was
to eat fire, crowding burning tapers

TO
meet TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY

At the meeting of the board of SUI
pervisors this evening there is likely
to be considerable fireworks as 1t is
reported the question of whether the
board shall take $3.50 from the Cen
trail Grammar school fund, of which
there is approximately $4,000 left, and
use 1t in the Eva school district
which fund has run short, may come
up. Some time ago Mayor Lane We
toed this resolution upon advice Of
the city attorneys office, but it was
learned today that q member of the
board is out working to have ii put
through. .-r.:. . .-. =. ....::
Another matter which will come up
for discussion Is the equalization of
the meter and flat rate systems OF
charging for water in Honolulu. Ac.
cording to Harry Murray, manager Of
the water department, although the
meter rate here is lower than in a
majority of cities on the mainland
and the flat rate is also lower, the
charges here are different and either
the flat rate must be raised to equal
the meter rate or the meter rate low
cred to equal the flat rate.
According to a comparison of fig.
ures, in 213 mainland cities the water
rate Is equal 10 or lower than Homo
lulu in 81 and higher in 1872 on the
meter system, and on the flat rate sys-
tenn in 307 cities the average charge
is $1S.OS against $40 in Honolulu
Other business that will come be-
fore the board is the petition of the
Kaimuki residents to have Fifth ave-
nue. repaired and the offer of the
Bishop estate of strip of land to the
city for 81. The land is in KapaaEea
and designated as road reserve.
The board of supervisors will also
meet Wednesday evening to consider
the bids for the Kalakaua avenue i'm
provement work as they are very
anxious to have the work started as
soon as possible. s.-=

PLAYING MOTHER
By Farmer Smith

One day Maudie and Matte Mouse crept
softly upstairs and helped themselves to
their mothers clothes
Now, Maudie and Matte knew that they
were doing wrong. but they did so want
to play mother. and they wanted long
dresses
They got out of the house and down into
the meadow without any one seeing them.
There they put on the long dresses and
the nice new hats.
Now. I'll play I'm going to market" said
Matte, and away she went, trailing her
dress behind her
Hurry back! !" yelled Maudie after her,
because I'll soon have dinner ready"
Maudie hustled around and made mud
pies and leaf salad and cooked some stone
eggs Then when dinner was all ready
and the table set she sat down and waited
for Matte.
Pretty soon she heard Matte coming, Just
as fast as she could come
Run up the tree, quick Maudie =" yelled
Matte, and get in that little hole"
Maudie Mouse didn't stop to ask any
questions, but up the tree they went and

The club has done wonders for the
woman who has arrived at that period of
life usually known as the middle-aged
period. Time was when n women who had

who became proficient French scholar
after she had passed the age of so. II the
woman's club had done nothing else but
provide an interest for the middle-aged

CHAPTER XIII
Morrison Squares Accounts

AS MERIEM struggled with Malbihn. her
n hands pinioned to her sides by his
brawny grip, hope died within her. She
did not utter sound, for she knew that
there was none to come to her assistance;
and besides, the Jungle training of her
earlier life had taught her the futility of
appeals for succor in the savage world of
her upbringing.
But as she fought to free herself, one
hand came in contact with the butt of NAL
bihn's revolver where 1t rested in the hol
ster at his hip. Slowly he was dragging
her toward the blankets, and slowly her
fingers encircled the coveted prize and drew
II from its resting place.
Then. as Malbihn stood at the edge of
the disordered pile of blankets, Meriem sud-
denly ceased to draw away from him, and
as quickly hurled her weight against him
with the result that he was thrown back
ward his feet stumbled against the bedding
and he was thrown to his back. Instinctively
his hands flew out to save himself and at
the same instant Meriem leveled the re-
volver at his breast and pulled the trigger.
But the hammer fell futiely upon an
empty chamber, and Malbihn was again
upon his feet clutching at her. IS
