Doubtless yoting Mr. BrewBter will tell the story in detail soon in respouse to some enterprising magazine editor’s liberal cheque. Meanwhile the public must rest satisfied with the meagre accounts contained in a Honolulu dispatch. It seems that the hero went from Isfew Jersey to Hawaii three months ago, that he met Miss Afong at a dance in Honolulu a month ago, and that they were married within three weeks. But the heart of the fair creature, to gether with “the blocks of Hawai ian sugar stocks that went with it,” was won iu half an hour by the olook. “They were introduc ed,” says the all too brief dis- ; “they danoed together, and within a few moments were chatting on the tropical' roof- garden of the hotel. The dark beauty of the tropical belle prov ed too bewitohiug for the reserve of the son of New England. He lost liis heart. At 9:00 o’clock that night he was presented to her. At 9:80 they had retired to the roof garden, and at 10:05 o’clock he had declared his love for her, asked her to become his wife and entered the ball room as the affianced lover of the heir ess,” All of which shows that there is nothing like plenty of “sugar stocks” to give sweet zest to a courtship and hastep matrimony. At the same time, nothing is more evident than that James Brewster, . aged 22, is a taking young, fellow. For, as she was an heiress, it was 1 h fi i>af, ■ of course not Miss Afong’s first opportunity to take such a leap in the dark. Let us hope th will not have reason to repent. sow Saves Two From Death. “Our little daughter had an al most fatal attack of whooping cough and bronchitis,” writes Mrs. W. K. Haviland, of Ar- mopk N.
