Uncle Bom reined in his team, eo tuai we could better o.iseive our tuturo ruler. Ihe queen lay back upon cushions, her dark-skinned faeo shaded from the sun by a gorgeous umbrella of Jlnce. She was fat and coarse-looking. Away from her royal trappings, I .would have eouoludod sho might make a first-class cook for an American family. I mentioned some¬ thing liko that to my uncle. He laughed heartily. such disloyal “You must not Eay things, Tom, my boy,” lie said, “or vou will get yourself and mo into no end of trouble. The queen deals very severely with her enemies.” “Then the sooner we make peace with the fat lady tho better," I said. “Still, the royalty business may he a f f jn„ irksome after our republican freedom of speech and action.” “Ob, you will not be trammeled in r.etion,’ replied my uncle. “Guard your speech and you will get along all right.” We sped along again. said “There is tho queen’s palace,” my uncle, and of course Winnie and I W eva eager to see the home of the dusky queen. surrounded Set iu a beautiful park, beautiful B alms - ora,, f> and flowers, the white palace showed to mar k et i advantage.

It had innumerable windows and bal conies, and was surmounted by a cu¬ pola above which was raised tho flag of Hawaii—which was little else thau a modification of tho flag of England. “And is tho queen very wealthy?” asked Winnie. “Her income from tho State i3 large,” replied Uncle Tom, “and she has besides a considerable fortune of her own. Yes, she is rich enough.” Having feasted our eyes sufficiently upon tho abode of royalty, wo drove on. “Here comes a man you will be pleased to meet,” said my uncle, reiu j n ,i j n jij s , i lorse again. A carriage of unpretentious ap¬ pearance, drawn by two sleek horses, came toward us and stopped. Iu it was a man I thought of about the same age as my uuoie. He reached out his hand and grasped xny uncle’s firmly. do, Mr. Warring¬ “How do yon ford?” ho asked heartily. “I have not seen you in a week, and thought perhaps you wore ill.” “No, but I have been very busy with tho sugar, and a few unruly Portuguese," replied Uncle Tom. “And, besides that, I have, as you know, been making some preparations to receive my niece and nephew. I visited the office in relation to it the last time I saw you.” said the “Ah, yes, I remember,” gentleman, kindly. “I fancy they have come,” glancing at Winnie and me.' “Yes, children*” saidmyuncle, “let mo present you to the American min¬ ister, Mr. Stevens.” Of course, Winnie and I wore over¬ whelmed. But Mr. Stevens cordially shook our hands, and spoke feelingly upon the great bereavement wo had sustained. “But I am sure you will enjoy your life hero with your uncle,” he said. “The climate is grand, and there is just enough romance about tho place to suit young people, We shall bo glad to see you at tho Legation at any time.” “Thank you, sir," I replied. “It will add to our pleasure to have the friendship of the representative of the United States.” Minister Stevens smiled and, as ho signaled his coachman to drive on, said: “I suppose, of course, you will bring the young people out, Warring¬ ford?” “As it seems advisable,"replied attend my uncle. “Of course, we cannot the balls and official receptions for a time.” “No, certainly not. I understand. But do not let them be strangers, quite,” and with a pleasant smile and a friendly nod, he was gone. “Wbat a splendid man,” said Win¬ nie. “How kind and genial he is.” “A flno man, truly,” replied my uncle, “and as true an American as ever stood in shoo leather." “But I supposed a sort of dignity hedged about a minister, and intro¬ ductions were to be had in state.” “Oh, no, not with Stevens. He and I have been friendly over since be oame here. He does not stand very high with the Queen, however, as he is too earnest and energetic in look¬ ing after the interests of Americans.” “Hooray!” I said. “That’s the kind of man we nood in a good many places. I hope Gordon will meet him. He is just the mau to help a fellow like Gordon.” “Who is Gordon?” asked Uncle Tom. I told him about Arthur Gordon -while we drove along, Undo Tom seemed in no hurry to get home. Ho turned us into another street, upon which were *>0107 elegant residences. ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER IT WILL PAY mar "This is Beretania street,” ho said, “and the finest in Honolulu.” After reaching tho outskirts of tho city, wo struck into a broad level , roa ,j ( along \ which tho carriage rolled ra pi ( l]y aru smoothly. On either side was ver duro, tho like of which I had never seen before. Brilliant green waa f}j 0 prevailing color, but the flow C rs and some of tho treesborobeauti f rt i tints that gave a varied grace to the entire scene. Palm-trees towered above us. Long grasses waved their heads in the balmy breeze. And far anti away stretched fields of rico or of sugar-cane, in which were many men, native, Chinese and Portuguese, finishing their day’s work. J^Along this beautiful road wo trav¬ eled for many miles. On the light, in the far distance, was a low range of mountains seemingly covered with a heavy growth of trees. On the left, several high peaks loftily pointed up¬ ward, piercing the sky. “We are in the Nuuanu Valley,” said Uncle Tom, “the fairest stretch of country in the world.” “I can easily believe it,” I replied. “Nature seems to have left nothing undone that could aid in making it beautiful.” We passed a few plantation houses. Some of them were small and some were of some pretentions in size. Before the largest of them, located most superbly upon a rising ground, surrounded by sloping lawns, Uncle Tom turned his horses’ heads toward the open gate. When we had passed its portals, he said: “Now, children, you are home. This is The Corals, a name I have given it because the house is partly built of coral rock. As far as you can soothe land is mine. Hero you are free in will and body. Do as you please. Go and come as you like. Make the old house ring with your laughter. Every horse, every cow, every dog is at your command. So. in fact, am I. All I ask is love me.” Winnie reached over and putting her plump arms around bis neck kissed him again and again. “Why, you dear, funny old undo, she said, half laughing and half cry¬ ing, “we love you to death already. You will be jnst killed with love!” The old gentleman’s eyes were moist as he turned his horses over to his stableman and led us up the broad poreli to the hospitable door of his plantation home.’ CHAPTER III. Gorilon distinguished himself and foil in with good fortune at onee. I good fortune, not good luck. No ojm but Gordon could have done it. I had had a small native boy turned over to me by my uncle n3 an attend¬ ant, and also two horses. With Malliauki on one and mv3elf on an¬ other, I went into Honolulu to find Gordon the second day after our ar¬ rival. I found him on tha porch of the Nuuana House, a low-roofed, com¬ fortable place that looked like any 3inall American hotel. He greeted me warmly. “I was beginning to be afraid you had forgotten me,” he said. “Foolish thought,” I replied. “My time has been fully taken up. But how are you anyway? What have you done so far?” “Smoked half a box of Seacamp’s cigars and eaten of his best viands. That’s about all.” “Nothing in a business way?” “No. I’ve seen several people, but business is dead. Everything is ia a muddle. The queen seems to be a pig-headed female, who puts her foot in it every timo she tries to legis¬ late. Half the people either hate or fear her, and the other half spend their time wondering what i3 going to happen next.” “I learned something of this from my uncle. He despises the queen and speaks bitterly of her trouble extravagant brew¬ rule. There seems to be ing. But what’s that to us? Let them worry it out. Do you ride?” “When I get a chance." “Ihavo two horses here; one ridden by my Malliauki, an urchin of variable habits, detailed as body guard or something by my uncle. Let him kick up his heels here while we take a ride. I will show you the beauties of tho Nuuanu Valley. they the beau¬ “I wonder if equal ties of tho Nuuanu Hotel,” said Gor¬ don, laughing, “By the way, I had forgotten to ask after mine host, Jollroy Seacamp,” I replied. “Has his hostelry fulfilled expectations?” is “Indeed it has. Seacamp a blower of tho most pronounced type, he but he generally knows whereof bloweth. I was afraid, from his en¬ thusiastic language on the Monowai, that his place would bo simply wretched. On the contrary, it is very good. He sets a good table, is a jolly soul individually, and ready to lend a hand to any American on the islands.” “He is an American, then?” “I assume it, though he has not told me so. Yet he speaks like a down east Yankee, and his push and energy bear out the resemblance. To prove to you how ready he is with his friendship, I shall ask him to lend me a pair of riding-boots or laggings. ” We found Mr. Seacamp writing in his room. Without formality he grasped my hand. “Mr. Warringford, of the Corals,” he said in his bolster- l j Ill< rainy when years.'Hilo town.” always stops hero he comes to “So he told me,” I replied. That “Did ho? Good enough. •imply proves,” he turned toward Gordon as ho oaid this, “that what I claim is true. My house is patronized by tho very host of the people. And Tom Warringford is up to the top of the topnieat of them all. And," hero his voice sank to a whisper, “he’s a giant in his Americanism.” “You ere an American?” I asked. “Am I an American!” ho said, in a manner that indicated a strong desire to shriek. “Am I! Well, ain’t I? Yon young follows don’t know what it means to bo an American. Why, look around you! See the wide, level streets! See tho ships at anchor and at dock in that harbor! See the great business houses—groat for an almost unknown island! See the evidence of i push, energy, brains’ That, sir, is simply American, all of it. American brains have mado Hawaii what it is! American mouey has mado the earth give up its wealth! American enter¬ prise has raised tho rico and sugar that you saw up tho valley! Am I an American! Let the eagle scream!

Come, we’ll open a bottle and drink a toast to the grand old flag over there on tho consulate, ana to Stevens, tho mau who upholds it iu the face of all carping criticism!” feel good to It certainly made me hear this enthusiast talk. I was hot in my support of American institutions myself, and sympathized with the voluble hotel-keeper. We drank his wine and echoed his toast. “By the way, Mr. Seacamp,” said Gordon, “Warringford has invited mo to a horseback ride. I wanted to ask you if you could lend mo a pair of boots or leggings, as I notice that every body who ride3 wears one or the .» “Certainly, boy. ’ Keep your my up end. Every American who goes out from this house must look us well as our English cousins, if I have to strip the place to do it. Leggings are wliat you want, not boots. Boots are all right for the military and the English upstarts, but give us Americans leg , r j U2S ” The point did not seem so vital to rr.e, but as Mr. Jollroy Seacamp never asked you to support lii3 opinions, I was not called upon to make any re¬ ply. Fortunately for my good stand¬ ing with Mr. Seacamp, I wore leg¬ gings, as being cooler and more plia¬ ble and comfortable than boots. And to the fact that I did wear them I think his advocacy of # leggings could bo traced. At any rate, the good-natured fellow brought out a pair, which Gor¬ don put on. “I will Ieavo my boy, Malliauki, with you, while wo visit the Corals and re¬ turn,” 1 said. “Do it. I’ll take care of the littlo brown devil. I know him well. He comes here ofton with your uncle.” Malliauki’s grin was a glorious sight iu point of size when I told him he was to remain at the Nuuanu until we returned. It imp,'and was a sort of picnic for tho young he enjoyed the prospect. looked famously well Gordon on horseback. He sat like a Comanche. He was so tall, so straight and so handsome that strangers turned to look at him as we rode along. I took great pleasure in showing him the valley and in pointing out the residences of persons more or less prominent in Hawaiian affairs, as my uuoie had shown them to me. And Gordon was as vigorous in his praise of the fair as one could wish. “Here we are,” I said, as wo came before the big stone archway, from which a long, smooth rood led to the house we lived in. “This is The Corals.” “What o grand place!” said Gordon. “You are indeed fortunate, Warring¬ ford.” “I appreciate it, and wan! t you to feel as much at home here as I do. I have uncle, already spoken of you to my and have his endorsement.” We found Winifred and Uncle Tom on the wide veranda. Winnie was reading and was curled up in a huge bamboo chair. Uncle Tom half re¬ clined in a similar one, dozing away, the perfect embodiment of comfort. Upon being introduced he heariily. grasped Gordon’s hand and shook it •*I am glad to meet you,” here he said. asja “I am pleased to children. have you Mr. Gor¬ guest of my dear don, pray consider yourself one of us ai any or all times tho inclination takes you.” sir,” said Gordon. **I thank you, My uncle had in a large degree the evor-ready hospitality that we found everywhere on these islands. I have seen houses literally thrown open to American or English people by resi¬ dents who had never seen them be¬ fore, but bound by the ties of nation¬ ality to oare for the friends from na¬ tive shores. We had a gay hour on the porch, my uncle^telling all about Hawaii, its past, its present and its probable fu¬ ture. We smoked, drank iced punches, and ate lunob.

Pension Commissioner John W\ Lindsay completed the last of the pension roljs of the state the past week, and the different funds appro¬ priated for pensions have now been exhausted. The work of the commis¬ sioner has been of the most satisfactory order, both to the pensioners of tho state and to officials who have aided in the distribution of pensions with power of attorney. The first class of pensions taken up this year was the indigent, the largest and as a general rule containing the most needy of all tbo veterans. The widows of Confederate soldfera were next paid, and following them the in¬ valids were given their pensions. The rolls this year have fallen off in amount, while others have increased almost proportionately, leaving noth¬ ing of the appropriations made by the legislature. Lindsey since the Commissioner lias first of the year been entirely occupied with the performance of his duties,and although "these are of a difficult nature, he has uniformly impressed the old veterans with the idea that he is doing for them all in his power. „ , „ „ , * Th « Confederate .. , veteran camps of B Geo ri ^ ,a are “?. kin * preparations to representatives to.the five days reunion at Lou.svil e, Ky which be ^ ™ \ The indications that iave rea f the t cfilce °* Clement A.

They called attention to the law passed by the legislature over a year ago which required that the salaries of the teachers of the state should be paid monthly, and they de¬ sired to know why the law was not carried out.

Under the original con¬ tract the time for the completion would have expired last Friday, but the con¬ tractors were able to demonstrate to the secretary their inability to finish within the prescribed time was due to circumstances which they could not control, and the extension of time was granted. The reports of the work done are all highly favorable. CONSPIRATORS PLEAD GUILTY. Sensational Case of Tyson and Others Comes to a Close In Dis¬ trict Court at Savannah. In the United States district court at Savannah, Gn., Wednesday D, A. Tyson anil others pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy to defraud through the use of the mails. Thus collapsed a case that lias engaged the court for the better part of two weeks, and which Judge Speer characterizes as “one of the most notable cases ever tried in the federal court in this coun¬ try. ” The conspiracy had ramifications through half a dozen of the country counties of Georgia, most of them pro¬ hibition counties. The conspirators would send orders by mail to whole¬ sale merchants out of the state for all manner of goods, principally beer and liquors, which they would dispense in blind tigers, and the shippers would never hear of their money. But while liquors for sale in “dry” counties were a specialty, many other kinds of goods were embraced iu the orders of the gang. Indeed,the con¬ fessed leader of conspirators, D. A. Tyson, built and equipped a long dis¬ tance telephone line connecting Sa¬ vannah with a dozen neighboring towns with materials fraudulently or¬ dered oil elegantly engraved letter paper of fictitious firms. Tyson made use of a number of small country merchants, whom he persuaded to permit the use of their names for the fraudulent ordering of goods. Many pianos, organs, reapers, cases of wine and other articles were found in depots in the territory of the gang, consigned to the various mem¬ bers of it. The gang victimized whole¬ sale merchants in Montgomeiy, Chat¬ tanooga, Kichmond, Charleston, Bal¬ timore, Cincinnati and elsewhere. The trial had gone on nearly two weeks and nearly 100 witnesses had been examined when it was suddenly ter¬ minated by the plea of guilty. Judge Speer stated that sentence would be passed upon the men later. Those who pleaded guilty were: D A. Tyson, J. H. Hutchinson, W. E. Hutchinson, Morris W. Hutchinson, J. M. Harrell, J. T. Hammond, T. L. Packs, C. J. Phillips, J. S. Wheeler. Jr., and H. B. Watts, alias C. J. Watts. The man who was declared not guilty, the evidence not connect¬ F. ing him with the conspiracy, was D. Wilkes. DEWEY IX PARADE. Admiral Sufficiently Recovers to Take Part In Savannah Program. Fifty thousand persons on the streets of Savannah Wednesday gave Admiral George Dewey as enthusiastic a welcome as was ever accorded to any public man by the Forest City. The admiral had recovered from his indis¬ position of Tuesday sufficiently for him take part in the military parade and review arranged in his honor, and as he rode through the streets with Mrs. Dewey at his side, ringing cheers rent the air and waving colors made the scene one long to be remembered. There were present in the parade five military companies from Charles¬ ton, one or more companies of naval reserves from Charleston, Mount Pleasant and Beaufort, S. C., and Brunswick, Ga., and military organi¬ zations from Columbia, Pelzer and Timmonsville, S. C., and Augusta, Brunswick and Thomasville, Ga. There were in all seventeen out-of town organizations. Adding the local militia, there were nearly 4,000 men in line. The review took place in the park extension, where an admiral’s salute was fired by the Chatham Artillery from brass pieces presented to the organization by President George Washington. Business, public and private, was suspended from noon in honor of Ad¬ miral Dewey. The day’s program ended with a banquet at the DeSoto hotel. After the elaborate menu had been served, the ladies joined the gentlemen in the main dining room and the speaking began. Following came the presenta¬ tion of the elegant silver vase, the gift of the city of Savannah to Admiral Dewey, by Hon. F. G. duBignon. Free Mlver For Porto Rico.

Representatives of Thirty-Five Concerns Meet In Birmingham, Thirty-five lime manufacturing con¬ cerns were represented at a meeting held in Birmingham, Ala., Saturday for the purpose of forming the Con¬ solidated Lime Company, which will come near controlling the lime inter¬ ests in the southern states, with the exception of Texas. The company will have, when com¬ pleted, a capital of $3,000,000, which will be divided into common and pre¬ ferred stock.
