PInckneys immortal Declaration

Charles c. Pinckney was one Of
three ENJOYS sent by the United
States to France in 1897 to settle dis
putes which had arisen between France
and the United States. The American
grievance was caused by the seizure
Of American vessels by France. The
French grievance was that commercial
privileges had been granted to Eng
land. Talleyrand, the French foreign
minister, refused to receive the en-
voys, but it had been conveyed to
them by secret agents that before any
settlement could be reached ii would
be necessary for the United States TO
pay a large sum of money, which was,
In fact little more than a bribe. 1t
was then that Pinckney made his
famous declaration, that the United
States had millions for defense, but
not one cent for tribute"

CHAPTER /.
The Messane In the Box.

Anticipating the possibility OF my
train arriving late, l had named the
hour of my meeting with Cummings
us three o'clock, and, in consequence
of our reaching the city exactly on
time, was compelled to lOlter idly
about the hotel for an hour. However,
in passing through the corridor my
attention was attracted by an unique
curiosity shop occupying Il small side
room, and, merely TO pass the time
pleasantly, l entered and began exam
lining the strange collection of wares
on display.
There We're several articles ] lin
gered over, tempted to purchase. but
drifted on, rather undecided, until my
eyes perceived very quaint lacquered
jewel box, of a class of workmanship
quite unusual. The proprietor, per-
ceiying my interest, joined me.
The Jewel box attracts you," he
said pleasantly, opening the case and
bringing 1t forth. You have love for
such thiugsY
a deep interest nt least" l admit
ted, taking the article from his hand,
"a collector In an amateur way. What
is Che workmanship-surely not Jap

"No," smilingly. Although posi-
lively ! cannot answer as 10 its or
igin. The inscription, which can only
be read with Il microscOpe"-he traced
with his finger-"ls ancient Arabic,
but no wild Arab ever did the lacquer"
Yet so strange Il Curio must have a
history an imaginary one, at least
What is the story"
Positively none," he admitted re-
Gretfully. The fact Is, this article was
found by q chambermaid in one of the
hotel rooms, and turned In to the man
ager. He made every effort TO trace
the guests, only TO learn that they, two
men, by the way, had registered false
ly. He even advertised, but with no
response, and finally, after thirty days,
was persuaded TO accept my offer for
the article
You have put a price on thiS?"
"Yes, ridiCulously low, no doubt yet
bringing me a good profit"
He named a price, and, StiI with the
box in my hands, yielded to the temp
tauon, and bought It. The article was
sufficiently small TO find lodgment in
an overcoat pocket, and, rs Cummings
appeared a little later, was soon for
gotten In the earnestnesS of our con.
VersutiOn. We later had dinner 10.
Eether, and attended the theater IN
company, my mind SO occupied with
other matters that l scarcely once
thought of the strange purchase | had
made, which remained securely hid
den. II was only after returning tC
my own room, then nearing midnight
that IL was again recalled TO memory
Only an idle curiosity and a feeling
Of sleopIeSsnoss induced me TO draw
the article forth, and remove It's wrap
pings, but the sight served lmmedl
Htely TO increase my interest. Ii was

Ethel CLAYTON

wv WAY WI
Ethel Clayton is playing in the most
thrilling, most unusual picture in
many moons, and in the big scene
she wears a gown made of beads, or
something, that fairly out-Shebas
Sheba. The picture is Sins of
Rosanne," and Miss Clayton is cos
tuned to represent the famous queen
at a lawn fete held in Kimberley,
lear the famous diamond mines. Up
to this time, according to the story,
she has been playing the role of a
sort of feminine Jekyll and Hyde
outwardly the pretty but otherwise
quite ordinary daughter of an English
widow, but %inwardly torn with a mad
craving for bright stone which she
received from a native Malay witch
doctor when she was an infant.
The result is a story of thrills,
mystery and in the end love. The plot
is novel, but Miss Clayton's earnest
Interpretation of the fascinating hero
Inc makes her strange experiences
seem real.
Wallace Reid
Wallace Reid appears to fine advan-
tage in always Audacious."
In this picture Mr.. Reid plays two
parts, one, a society man of wealth
and the other a crook. Both men are
alike as two peas and this resemb-
lance aids the scheme of the crook
to assume the station of the other
to rob him of his wealth and fiancee.
He nearly succeeds in his purpose and
but for a-but it would be unfair to
readers to reveal in advance one of
the most smashing climaXes ever
seen in a motion picture story.
Of course, Mr.. Reid plays the roles
of the crook and his intended victim.
How he does it, the skill of the Gamers
mar reveals in many thrilling scenes.
The picture, which is based on Ben
Ames Williams story. %"Toupours de
A'Audace," is distinctly worth while.
Madame Traverse
A strong photoplay of love n &C
ton, THE He'll Ship" with beautiful
Madame Traverse in the stellar role.
This picture is made all the more in
tense and thrilling by the fact that
the enter dramatic action os the film
plainly shows, takes place on board a
fishing schooner and on a life raft in
the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Miss Traverse, the star, does some
very strong work as Paula, the girl
captain of a hell ship" who subdues
a mutinous crew, yet finds herself
merely a woman" The closing scene
of the picture, involving the final
sacrifice of the heroine is beautiful

you a reputation which will be diff
cult for future legislatures to equal.

even this reputation by completing

you will. | hope that you will. Any
assistance which the executive de-

outlook and says it is vitality neces-
sary that a method be provided where

Kihei. Maui,
Feb. 90, 1921.
Editor of Maui News,
Dear Sir-We have entered the Star
Bulletin Garden Contest and on the
tenth of January we started gardening
The vegetables grew and we thought
we were going to have lots of them
but we were disappointed when the
IONA storm came and washed away
most of our gardens. The chickens
ate the rest for us.
Being so determined to have a
garden we fenced a place up and then
we started again. A week after the
planting we certainly had a beautiful
garden with flowers which we trans
planted around it for decoration. We
were all happy then, but to our great
disappointment a kona storm came
again and washed out a part of it and
an insect is destroying the rest. So
we would like to know how to destroy
the insects.
We are so sorry now for we wanted
to get a prize and we know We won't
get it because when we start again
it will be too late.
Yours truly,
HISAO KAGE.
