CHAPTER III.

Long after dark Miss Carteret wax
cned. For some minutes she lay In
lazy content, unstrring, wide eyes
dreaming into obscurity. The state
room was dusky with shadows; but
deck lights beyond the open window
ports pointed wan squares upon the
white interior woodwork. The sweep
Of clean sea air through the room was
as sweet as fresh cool water to a
parched throat. Feeling stronger and
more herself for each delicious breath,
humbly the girl gave thanks; for 1t
seemed that. with the passing OF the
gale, the CHASTITY incubus Of mal-de-
mer had been exercised.
Presently. conscious Of pnng OF
hunger, she touched the repeating
spring on her bracelet watch-an cx-
quisitely small. jeweled extravaganza,
her fathers gift Of the previous Christ
mas-and bent an attentive ear to its
elln chime. Eight o'clock. It was too
late to dress and dine In public. But
as she lay in doubt, trying to decide
whether she was really as hungry as
she felt, or would do better to deny
herself food until breakfast, she heard
q sound from the outer deck so slngu-
lar that in twinkling 1t focused her
drowsy. Grant wits.
The sound was "Psst-pssst-psssst,"

1t is hard to realize that the original

that, big as 1t Is, close upon $4,000 tons.
1t has been far surpassed In tonnage
and armament observes an exchange.
It gave new word to the world, for
the name Of the ship, one of the tradi-
tional names Of the British navy. IS
now applied to all ships of Its class
in every country. The word has taken
the place of man Of war, line of battle
ship. and ironclad Even now we have
been obliged to go one better and the
word superireadnaught has arisen. II
is interesting to bark back to the most
famous Of Nelson's ships. probably the
most famous vessel which ever sailed
the sea, the Victory, and to compare
it with even the first dreadnaught. The
latter took If months to complete and
cost S9,OOO,OOO, while the Trafalgar
flagship, a little over 1000 tons, re-
quired many years to build and cost
only S445 900, Il sum at that time con
sidered colossal.

in laughter.

There's nothing dishonorable In be-

worth a thousand pleasure boats. It's
what q man is able to do and does
that tells what his worth is. Good
clothes are pleasant to look upon, but
they are often hindrance in times
of distress. Kid gloves may have a
place in the family pew and social
functions, but the ways of the world
demand tougher stock in labor. 1t

gentleman because they fit you. That
man is honorable who makes himself
respected by his conduct and the work
he does. No amount of polish can
atone for mean ideal. And no
amount of toll can lower the man of

AMERICAN WEEDS A RULER
Alice Heine, Who Enjoyed Unusual
Distinction, Soon Tired Of Life
as Princess of Monaco.

Alice Heine, the only American wom-
an to enjoy the distinction-and suffer
the t!isillusionment-of being the wife
of a sovereign, was born in New Or
leans ffty-nine years ago. Her father
was Michael Heine, a Jewish banker
and her mother Miss Amelie Mlten-
berger, who came of a prominent
Louisiana family.
Having made a fortune in New Or

after the Erunco-Prussian war, and
rose to be a noted financier. His
daughter. Alice. became the bride of
the due de Kchelieu, scion of an an
cient French line. She bore him q son
and a daughter. after which he died.
The son inherited the title, and few
years ago followed the example of his
father by taking an American wife,
Miss Eleanor Douglas Wise OF Balti-

she was won by the prince of Monaco

10 every ore OF the ~ lots.
I'VE expect that pavement TO serve,
w.tfeHt cent for repair, for at least
generation. says Dcwsett
This is the first private develop
ment project In Honolulu TO adopt
concrete as a paving material; in
fact, before even the municipal gov
eminent had ever tested and acceptet
concrete in preference to asphalt or
patented materials.
II is thought that most, IL not all,
OF the tract will be bought in short
time and that building activity will
be rapid Dowsett says he could have
sold half of the lots In the last year,
Judging from the number of inquiries
received, even though the road build
ing was barely under way then. But
with only one or two exceptions he re-
fused to sell until the tract was in
such shape that actual construction
OF homes could begin on any or all
lots.
Lot No [, the largest Of the number,
situated at the extreme mauka end OF
the subdivision, was purchased sew
eral months ago by A. s. Wilcox Of
Kauai. for Mrs. Wilcox. 1t is under
Improvement at present and a mag
nificent home is to be erected on the
site. At the lower end c. G. Bockus
obtained small bit of land, adding to
large lot he already owned there,
and is erecting residence estimated
to cost about $4,000.
Across Nuuanu avenue from the
lower portion OF the tract, at the point
OF the old entrance to the Oahu
Country Club, Theodore Cooke is
building large modern home. From
the character OF these It may easily
Re surmised that the homes In the
Dowsett tract viii be Of high type.
A considerable number of the lots
have frontage on Nuuanu avenue. The
others face the new .thoroughfafes,
Dcwsett avenue, Alika avenue and
Edward street. From all there is a
beautiful view toward the pail and
from many an excellent view of the
ocean is to be had.

Real estate and building operations
were forced to give way this week
to the spirit of the Carnival with the
result that very little land was sold
and only five permits were issued for
the erection of buildings.
The estimated cost of those five
permits, however. totaling $27,745,
was above the average and If it had
Leen normal week might have other
wise made II a record breaker.
The largest permit issued amounted
to $4,000 and was for the building Of
an assembly hall and babies home
at the Salvation Army Girls Home
on Moana road These two buildings
are to be one story wooden structures
50xSS and 53xS0 feet in size and con-
tain 10 and seven rooms respectively.
The next in size was for $3.50 for
the erection OF three frame cottages
and one servants quarters and garage
In Puunui at the corner OF Alewa and
Wyllle.
The third permit amounted to
$685. and was for a dining room and
kitchen for the Insane Asylum. The
other two were for tie erection OF cot.
tsges costing $500 and $500 each.
