The Bride to Be.

He tried to smile carelessly to
prove his composure, but he found that
he had lost almost all control over his
features. He had no knowledge Of his

train began to move. She stood there,
on the lowest step, slowly gliding away
from them, and in her eyes there was
a sparkle Of tears, left, it may be,
from her laughter at poor Williams
pageant with Jane and Rannie Kirsted,
or, 1t may be, not.
She could not wave to her friends In
answer to their gestures Of farewell,
for her arms were too full Of FlOpit
and roses and candy and sweet peas,
but she kept nodding to them in way
that showed them how much she
thanked them for being sorry she was
going and made it clear that she was
sorry too and loved them all
"Goodby! she meant.
Faster she glided. The engine passed
from sight round a curve beyond a
culvert, but for moment longer they
could see the little figure upon the
steps, and to the very last glimpse
they had of her the small, golden head
was still nodding "Goodby! Then
those steps whereon she stood passed
in their turn beneath the culvert. and
they saw her no more.
Lola Pratt was gone!
Wet eyed, her young hostess Of the
long summer turned away and STUN

The last car of the train had round

liam was still waving farewell, not
with his handkerchief, but with SYM
metrical one pound parcel, wrapped in
white tissue paper, girdled with blue
ribbon.

In the smallish house which all sum.

night, had resounded with the voices
of young people, echoing their songs,
murmurous with their theories Of love
or vibrating with their glee, sometimes
shaking all over during their more
bosterous moods-in that house, now
comparatively so vacant, the propri-
etor stood and breathed deep breaths.

Death in Life.

What we call death" Is, after all,
merely the elimination, premature or
natural, Of the dying that Is going on
within us each minute. Every blow we
strike, every thought we think, Is ac-
companied by the death of a certain
amount Of muscular or nervous tissue.
In health the death" is followed by
new life-the tissue is renewed. There
Is no more pain in the death Of the
whole physical organism than there Is
in the death Of one cell.-London An

"Will you, Willie?"
"Oh, all right!' he said.
This contented her, and she seated
herself so quietly upon the floor just
inside the door that he ceased to be
aware of her, thinking she had gone
away. He sat staring vacantly into
the darkness, which had come on with
that abruptness which begins to be
noticeable in September. His elbows
were on his knees, and his body was
sunk far forward in an attitude of des.
Olation.

laughed loudly ut something the man
had said. The sound Of their laughter
was horrid to William. And from a
great distance-from far out in the
country-there came the faint, long
drawn whistle of an engine.
That was the sOrrowfulest sound OF
all to William. His lonely minds eye

where a long train whizzed onward
through the dark, farther and farther
and farther away. William uttered a
sigh 80 hoarse. so deep from the tombs.

SCHROEDER IS
OFF ON Way TO

Handful of Friends at Steamer
to Bid Farewell; 81 Must
Keep Num-" His Only Reply

Uuadorned with leis and dressed in
a quiet gray suit, August Schroeder
went aboard the steamer Maui onlS
five minutes before it sailed at noon
today for San Francisco, where he
is under federal indictment on a
charge Of having violated the neu-
trality of the United States by con-
spring with 124 others, to. foment a
revolution In India.
1t was less than 10 minutes to sail
ing time when Mr.. Schroeder reached
Pier 10 in company with a represen-
tative Of the Honolulu agency of the
Hartford Insurance Co., which is spon-
sor on q 10000 bond for his delivery
in San Francisco. He spent perhaps
five minutes bidding goodbye to a
few acquaintances who gathered about
him, well separated from the others
at the steamer to bid adieu to friends
Among the acquaintance who shook
hands with him before he left we're
E. G. and Walter Duisenberg, E. F.
Sykler, construction engineer with the
Lord Young Co, and J. A. Pratt, a
coast representative of the Bituli-
thic Paving Co. The representative
of his bondsmen also bid him good

oranda in a book, presumed to be =

Schroeder will stop.
Engineer Cykler walked through the
crowd Of spectators to near the gang
way with Mr.. Schroeder, where other
acquaintances good-naturedly offered
him their hands. The only representa-
tive Of the iackfeld company, seen
to bid him goodbye, was Charles +

tered the insurance department of that

No Specific Activities Laid to

~ ROBABLY more than dozen overt
acts are set forth in the indict
ment returned in San Francisco
against persons charged with compile
ity in a plot to foment a rebellion in
India, those indicted including Georg
Rodiek, former president of the Ha,
waiian Sugar Planters association,
and at one time German consul here,
and Heinrich August Schroeder, VIM
was secretary to Rodiek.
A copy of the indictment, found and
returned in open court on July {, was
received yesterday by U. S. Attorney
S. c. Huber. The names Of Rodiek
and Schroeder are among those of
nearly 100 others, including German
consular agents and residents of the
United States, attorneys and stock
brokers and other Americans, and
Hindus. Two women are named, as
well as a number Of Chinese. A sum-
mary of the contents of the indictment
was published recently in the Star
Bulletin, this paper having received
the first news that the certified in
diCtment was on its way to Honolulu.
Except being included in the names
OF those against whom true bills were
sound, the names of Schroeder and
ROdiek are rot mentioned again in
the indiCtT ant, which document
charges them as being party to all
acts against the peace ana dignity Of
the United States
Several of the overt acts mentioned
in the indictment will not be made
public at this time, as these move
ments by the ringleaders Of the pro
posed rebellion are still under inves-
tigation. AS already reported in the
Star-Bulletin, an attempt was made to
secure money, men and ammunition
for an uprising in India, which. says

More Changes
InFOOd Body
Are.Ex'pected
New Committeeman to Be
Named at Next Meeting;
May Be Public

Further reorganization of the terri
torial food commission is being dis
cussed, it was announced today, and
changes in the personnel Of several
committees, necessitated by the re-
cent resignation of DR.. Arthur l..
Dean as executive officer, will prob
ably be effected at a meeting to be
held shortly
Because of the resignation Of A. l..
Castle, now executive officer, from
the craftsmanship of the marketing
committee, it will be necessary to
select someone for that position. On.
of the present members of the COM
mittee probably will be chosen, and
man from the outside appointed to
complete the committee. Mr. Castle
was also a member of the legal COM
mittee, and a new appointment will
be necessary to fill that vacancy. No
other changes are contemplated at
this time.
That the meetings of the food COM
mission should be open to newspaper
men is the opinion expressed rather
freely in business circles lately. Those
approving the plan Of making the meet
ing open to reporters say that many
citizens believe that the public should
be entitled to know all that the COM
mission is doing as it is public body
created by the last legislature.
A meeting of the fish committee
was to be held this afternoon to dis
cuss the recommendation of Attorney
Delbert Metzger for controlling the
price of fish in Hilo, the recommen-
dations having been published in the
Star Bulletin yesterday. Whether these
recommendations might also apply to
Honolulu will probably be a question
for discussion by the committee

Adopted Without Change;

TYY ASHINGToN, D. c., Aug. s. -
w The food control bill today
" passed the senate in record
time, the upper house concurring in
the amendments made by the com.
mittee of conferees, which has had
the bill under consideration for some
time past.
According to the conferees' recon,
mendation, control will be under the
supervision Of three heads.
President For One Head
President Wilson has been insistent
that the work should be handled by
one man In supreme control, but 1t is
expected the president will sign the
bill, falling In line with the recon-
mendations made in conference.
The bill as it will be presented to
the president for signature a mate
rally different from the one originally
introduced, and in certain respects is
far from meeting with his approval
AS introduced in the house, 1t placed
food control virtually in the hands Of
one man, who, Il was intended, should
be Herbert @. Hoover, recently at the
head Of the Belgian relief commission.
The bill passed the house in this form,
but when IL reached the senate II was
to q large extent rewritten. As finally
passed by the senate, the measure
placed food control in the United
States in the hands Of a commission
Of three, instead OF entrusting It to
q single food dictator. ss - 4
President Wilson made strong ef-
forts to have this change eliminated,
but the senate was obdurate, and
when the bill went to conference the
house conferees gave into those from
the senate. The debate on the meas.
ure in the senate was exceedingly
acrimonious at times.
