ways to leave any room he happened
It was in March when the big snow
storm of the winter occurred that
year, and Tim Austin was not es-
pecially surprised that out Of the
four or five members of the entire
establishment who ventured out that
.day and arrived at work IN time, the
new typist was one. Needless to say,
Tim was also on time. His own sten-
ographer had not arrived and 1t oc-
cured to him that the new typist
might be able to take his dtctation:
Hurriedly he made his way into the
large, light room where she did her
work. When he opened the door she
gave a little cry OF alarm. She was
standing before the radiator some
what the worst for her encounter with
the storm. She had spread out her
coat to dry and was holding her hands
to the heat. But what Tim noticed
and what had caused the cry OF alarm
was that the new typist's hair was
hanging dfsheveled and moistened BY
the snow, over her shoulders.
Tim stopped with sudden surprise.
For the first time he looked search
ingly t the girl. Yes. it really was. It
was the same hair. those were the
same eyes, and that was the same
voice. It was actually Madge Jenkins.

said. REALLY father hasn't failed.

When Tim Austin first saw her he
was adjusting a typewriter ribbon for
the. new stenographer-the pretty lit
tie ,stenographer who wore earrings
and" muchwaved hair in spite OF her
extreme youth. But when Tim saw
her, sweeping gracefully through the
offices. her golden hair falling lightly
sturdy; young shoulders, he
forget all about the little stenog-
'Iapher and the typewriter ribbon. The
girl was Madgeg Jenkins, daughter Of
Mr.. Dudley Jenkins, senior partner of
Jenkins g. Barr, known in tho par
lance Of the newest stenographer as
""boss."
The girl had gone straight to her
fathers Office and few minutes later
was seen going out again at her
fathers side apparently to have lunch
with him at his down town club.

at that moment Tim had gecretly de-

her to luncheon.
Once-it was two years later and
by this time Tim had come to regard
the girl as his presiding divinity
Madge had brought her dog to the
Office with her. She paused in the
entrance and looked h~elpless1y about
her. Tim was watching her as he
always did and when she looked up
appealingly he came to her rescue.
Father might not like to have me-
take the beast in with me. Would you
be so good-could you Just hold him
In leash till ], come out? He Is quite
harmless, as gentle is kitten"
Then, after he had returned the dog
twenty:six or seven, when the sign
to its pretty owner, after he had been
introduced to her by Mr.. Jenkins him
self, he realized for the first time the
breach that lay between him. What
must be her contempt for him? The
fact that he was no longer, office boy,
that he had obtained rapid promotion
and had even been taken out to lunch
at the club by the boss seemed to
make no difference. No. she had given
the dog to hem to hold much as her
groom would hold her saddle horse.
To her he was simply a cog in a ma
chine.
The next time she came to the Of
flee she spoke to him with apparent
cordially, She had not forgotten him,

when Mr.. Jenkins asked him to have
dinner with him at his home.
AS they were taking the elevator 1t
was akin to a blowlto have Mr.. Jenk-
ms say: my daughter will be disap-
pointed not to be at home. But it is
the night Of some sort of school fes-
tiyity. j didn't remember it when 1
asked you for tonight. But you will
have to come again when she is
home"
Then came a time when Jenkins and
Barr parted company, and for bus
mess reasons Tim was retained by
Barr instead of Jenkins. All that hap
pened before Tim was two and
twenty.
Now; with any one but Tim it might
have been simply a passing memory
that little experience with the golden
haired Madge. But to Tim it was
much more than that. 1t was even
enough to account for the fact that
he never took more than. a very pass

ney, Says West Giving Little
Thought to Preparedness

There is no question that Wood,

ticket The PEOPLE in. genera ere

States has been kept out of war, and
all the credit for that IS being gwen
TO President WILSON, This is one OF
the strongest points in favor Of his
reelection.
Thus declared S. {. Huber, formerly
Of lama. Iowa, who was sworn in
today as new United States attorney
fer the district of Hawaii Mr. Huber
has not yet announced mis- policies
He says he has none at present. and
probably will not have any until he
has familiarized himself with the du.
ties Of his new office.
Mr.. Huber is a Staunch Democrat
and IN ardent admirer of President
Wilson. He was born in Pennsylvania
and was admitted to the bar of Iowa
Just % years prior to his initial ar
rival in Honolulu-last Saturday.

Mr.. Huber also announced that

ued in office here AS long as Mr..
Kemp's success is satisfactory to the
department of Justice, it will be salts
factory to me-" Mr.. Huber said :.
Reverting to the question of the
presidency, Mr.. Huber continued:
The popular opinion in this regard
is fuCtuating. and it is really imros-
sible to tell whether Mr. Wilson will
be reelected. On the question of pre-
paredness all the eastern coast IS
alarmed. But in the West the peOnte
have no particular fear of invasion
and it is rather hard to work up pre-
paredness sentiment there. The West
coast is somewhat alarmed over the
Japanese question, | found. So there
you nave three separate conditions Of
affairs. But there is no question
that Mr.. Wilson will be renominated
AS far as my observations have
gone the people in general, with the
exception of very few, recognize the
fact that we have been kept. from war,
and the credit for that is given to Mr.
Wilson. Some people are inclined
to think that the 'Watchful waiting
policy has been too reserved as re-
CARDS Mexico, but the fact that thus
far America has been kept out of war
is a great asset in favor of Mr.. vii.

greatest asset believe he has at this

evening, accompanied by Mrs Huber.
Both are delighted with Honolulu and

THE ARMY BILL COMPROMISE.

Senator Chamberlain army REORGANIZATION
bill was put through the upper ho,>o on Tie exc
of possible break with GERMANY. Almost
overnight some Of the obstructiou.-t aouator~
reversed themselves and voted for az ARM Of
100000.
1t was prcttyswe assured that tai- figure
of 100000 was largely for purposes. Of tradlng
with tho Little army" clement dominating
the house. Nevertheless. nothing, substantial
in the way Of military increase could have been
put through except for the menacng foreign
situation. The senate had been fdding along
for weeks on the idea Of about 178G00 men as
the thing to approve and the possibility that
this would be reduced by 10000 in tie con
ference ...
The deadloel, in the conference was broken
Saturday with startling suddcnuess. The con
ferees agreed upon. a peace-time. army of
100000, with $4,000 in wartime. Fl
One well-jnfollaed army man in Honolulu
believes that the Mexican situation did it.
''Look at the growing friction between the
.Carranza elemcnt and the Americans. " he says,
'sthe Unsatisfactory negotiations with Obre-
gon the steady gathering OF Carranza soldiers
IN northern Mexico. Look at PeFshng concen-
trating his men. for the evident purpose of get
ting ready against possible attack.
"This situation very likely has shown the
conferees that even If no danger from abroad
threatens, we may in a short time need a much
larger army than we have today"
The army officers on Oahu, who have given
mich study to conditions. are frankly pleased
with the compromise plan announced, except
for the provision for fcderalizinS the militia.
They see in this the opportunity for gigantic
political machine, and their fears are justified
by the experience of the past. Too many state
militias have been used for state and even ma
tional politics 1t will require the closest super
vision to prevent a repetition.
The other features please the army men, and
that is quite natural, for the present officers
stand to- benefit Immediately, and from the
broader Standpoint of national defense, they
will be lart Of a strong instead of weak or
ganization.
Strict supervision of the national guard BE-
the war department and development of the
citizens training camps, will do something to
make upfor the loss Of the volunteer reserve
feature. On the whole, the army bill compro-
misc is more satisfactory than has been ex-
Dected

at first glance, this idea of an exposition in
Honolulu: during 1917 and 1913 looks like a
hairbrained scheme
At second glance it looks more feasible.
AS outlined by the enthusiastic Alexander
Hume Ford and with his assurances that the
countries around the Pacific will ''get aboard, y
Il looks not only practicable but a very good
idea.
Only the general suggestion has been made,
with the details still to be worked out. The
most important of these is the financial detail.
It will cost $250,0G0 and possibly twice that
amount to hold this Pan Pacific Exposition on
the scaleesuggested
The publicity Hawaii will receive, the pro
motion features, the tourist assets thus secured,
should be worth quarter or half million.
And beyond that, if the exposition were to
result in permanent improvements of far
reaching nature in lower Nuuanu valley-that
big, undeveloped section below Judd street
the city would reap some tangible benefits.
When the war is over, there's going to be a
rush Of tourists from America to Europe. Pos
sibly the travel Hawaii might expect in nor
NAL times will be diverted to the Old World
FOR the lure of fresh battle-felds will be tire
mendous. Already tourist agencies in the
United States and in almost every European
country are organizing their forces to handle
tremendous tourist trade once peace is de-
clared. Europe needs the tourists money
neds it badly. "@a. ...a
With Pan-Paciic Exposition Hawaii could
have an advertising feature all the year around
Alexander Hume Ford : pioneer work is recog-
nized in countries around the Pacific as much
as, II not more than in Hawaii. When he says
he can set substantial exhibits from these
countries, he knows whereof he speaks.
