WANT TO STOP At HAWAII
Jiggs and Dinty Moore Are
Anxious to See Hula Hula Girls
Ask Captain to Alter Plans.
BY EUGENE X. CAMPBELL.

O<A4hI
At Sea, Oct.-Wil1 the Happy Ha-
wa.ian Hull Hula Girls, dancing to
/ the strains of dangerous music on the
historic strand of Kaikiki, have due
opportunity of entertaining J1ggs ana
Dinty Moore in the way travelling
gentlemen should be entertained or
will they not?
This is the question that is agitat-
ing this ships company following the
receipt of a wireless TO J1ggS from
Honolulu inviting him and Dinty
Moore to drop in at the Hawaiian Is
lands and see all the sights. All of
| them.
The wireless, which is understood to
have come from a person high in gov
eminent service and therefore in a
position to afford Jiggs anything-fn
the way of native entertainment which
the island paradise OF the Hawaiians
affords, arrived just as Jiggs and
Dinty Moore, having established Mag
gle in a steamer chair, were about to
repair to the smoke room for friend
ly game of pinochle.
Jiggs, pausing to read the aero
gram, forgot his pinochle game COM
pletely as his face widened in a smile
of high anticipation. But his joy was
short lived. For Dinty Moore said in
stantly:
sage you hold in your hand is a true
friend, but he seems not to know that
thfs ship keeps right on going till We
make China and does not stop at the
Hawaiian Islands at ALL
To say that Jiggs was depressed by
the words of his old friend puts the
case mildly. But only ror a moment.
Jiggs, about all, is a man of action.
Holding the wireless dispatch tight in
his hand for evidence he sought out
the captain of the ship as fast as his
legs could carry him to the navigating
bridge and offered him $1,000 to for
get his instructions about proceeding
direct to China.
WEN make Dinty the stakehold-
er,">said Jiggs. las soon as we tie up
at Honolulu you get the money"
But the captain said: my man,
you fill me wish amazement. Do you
think this is rowboat? / repeat,
this is a 350o0-ton fully-found brass
bound passenger steamship proceed
ing on regular scheduled run. and
you ask me to run in any old place
for $1,000. I ark you; may COM
mand this ship but do you think
OWN this Ship and that you OWN
me?"
make it $780," said Jiggs.
"Get off this navigating bridge"
said 1.-THE captain, before I have you
thrown off,
subsequently Maggie. divining from
that something was up, hurried 10
where Jiggs and DinEy Moore were
standing talking it over and said to
Jiggs:
why do you think that when
selected this ship and bought the tick
cts I overlooked. anything7s When
will you learn that you married an
intelligent woman2"
However, neither Jiggs nor Dinty
Moore have. despaired of in some way
prevailing upon the captain to stop
off and let them take in q hula hula
and are now deep in a council of two,
deyising ways and means by which
what they desire can be brought
about.
As Jiggs said just before this dis
patch was gwen to the wireless oper-
atOr:
THE man does not live that cannot
be accommodating If you offer him
money enough. Tomorrow morning
will offer that captain a good raise on
today's price, and then by geily we
ought to get action
