The old Frenchman sobbed.
"Now awav home," I said gayly.
"We came to find lielene and we have
'found her. We were eager to be
avenged, and our vengeance is of the
sweetest. Gordon, this spot shall be
sacred while you and I live. Every
other temple of the Knminiloukanilimawai
must be destroyed, but in this
one we will come once a year and have
* f.1 aqf oi/l iiornntrjfttA t.hn memory of
this groat day of thanksgiving, when
*re found our sweet revenge."
"Hurray!" shrieked Jollroy Seacamp,
who had up to that moment
been like stont. "Hurray! Hurray!
Hurray! Now let the eagle scream. At
the American Hotel every American in
Hawaii shall, on the anniversary of
this day every year, have meat and
drink and all as free as air. Gosh! 1)
thought I was going to be tongue-tied
there for a spell. But pardon my?
my apparent rudeness, ladies, I am so
happy I am afraid I'll bu'st," and the
good-natured fellow danced in glee
and shook the hand of first one and
-then another, and even shook hands
all around with the grinning soldiers.
"Come, let us get. off," I said.
^Everything can be explained on the
Aumo."
"Explanations be hanged!" said
Seacamp. "Ain't you had explanations
enough? It's all clear enough, except
that sacrifice business."

*'I hid Winnie," she said, "and
Nimolau and Patua threw a sack of
earth into tho lake. That satisfied
the priests, because they didn't know
differently. But the soldiers came
and carried you off before it could be
explained, and we have been waiting
and weeping for you ever since."
"Oar weeping and waiting are
.over," said Winnie, as we left the
place.
"Oar waiting, but not weeping, is
-over," I replied. "Uncle Tom is
dead."
"Yes, poor Uncle Tom!" she said. '
"But he left us Helene. How iny
heart rejoiced that he had left us
Helene!
"One thing more remains to be ex-1
plained," I said, as we led Winnie
and Helene back to the landing-place.
"How did you escape the torrent of

eisted since."
"There was no torrent," replied
Helene. "A few great jets spurted
hundreds of feet into the air, throwing
tho lava out on the mountain-side.
None of it penetrated our hidingplace.
But the eruption frightened
the priests so that not one of them,
has been near us since. Nimolau and
Patua brought us food--banauas, taro
and rice. Nimolau and Patua have
been kind and faithful. Patua is even
low somewhere on the island looking
-for a way to get off."
^'They shall be rewarded " I said.

CHAPTER XXXII.
The world that was dark had grown
fight again. All Hawaii was stirred
by the news of the restoration of WinJiie
and the discovery of my uncle's
daughter. The'first to congratulate
jne was President Dole.
Gordon's love walked straight intc
Winnie's heart. She loved him only
less than the passionate devotion ol
Helene to me.
We were four happy people.
Helene would not listen to any
proposition of mine to make her the
heiress of Uncle Tom's estate. She
insisted that the will should stand
and the fortune should bo divided
into thirds. Winnie was to receive
her slrare and I mine. It did not
make much'difierence to me, for what
was Hclene's would be of equal benefit
to me. So Mr. Bcrkton and President
Dole settled the estate in that
way. All the smaller legacies were
paid as Uncle Tom had desired, but
ihey made very little inroad on the immense
fortune. We forand ourselves
very wealthy. J-^vca a tinru 01 uucio
"Tom's fortune was a fortune in itself.
Not long after the return to The
Corals there was a double wedding, at
which Winnie became Gordon's bride
.and Helena mine. President Dole
acted in the capacity of parent to Winnie,
and old Jeau Chicot tottered forward
and, in his trembling voice, 1
gave Helene, my beautiful Kauinai,
into keepiug. The representatives
of the nations were there, and
the ladies of the diplomatic circles
took the two beautiful brides to their
heart at once.
President Dole was in his happiest
mood. When ho came to us to offer
his congratulation, than which none
could be more sincere, he said:
"As this great light of happiness is
dawn.ng for you, so is the dawn coming
once more, for our little> country.

EMEN t
OF HAWAII. &
' * .#
W. HOPKINS. (j?|
j I received dispaTChes from Wasliingtoa
to-day stating that our position
was becoming better understood
there ami that there was a revulsion
! of popular feeling iu our favor. There
! is no longer any talk of restoring the
queen, and the government of the
United States has at last opened its
eyes to-the fact that these islands are
of the utmost importance as a coaling
station, if American naval power in
the Pacitic would be maintained. I
do not know what will be done, bat
there will at last be peace. We shall
have no more intrigues and madness
cn the part of the ex-queen's adher- j
ents. Minister Willis, as you see, is 1
on the friendliest footing and ackuowl- j
edges that his former understanding \
of the matter was superficial aud
faulty. There will be plenty for you
to do in assisting us to make the name
of Hawaii a proud one before the
world. Gordon is where he belongs.
Yon, Warringford, must go into the
cabinet."
"Not now," I said. "And you must
grant Gordon a leave of absence. It
is our intention to take a journey to
America and to Eurone. My priestess (
here baa seen very little of tne world,
and a few months of travel and sight- i
seeing will do much to erase the pic- ,
lures that must new linger in her
brain." i
"True, true," said President Dole.
"Go, enjoy yourselves; but return. ]
need you both. In fact, I ne-?d all i
four of you."
"Do not fear that wo may not re J
turn. There are too many heart-tie* |
that bind us to Hawaii," I replied, i
"sad though some of themnxiy be. D i
it not so, my priestess?"
"Yes," said Helene. "Hawaii must |
be our home, and in that happy anc .
glorious future that is opening to us
we shall live and forget the past?you
the strife, the sorrow, the trials, I thi j
dreams and vagaries that once en- |
thralled me." ?
Then Doctor Warren and Doctoi |
Tilling came up. '
"Well, wa two have pulled you j
tnrougn a gooa mauy tougn spots, 1
said Tilling. "Mrs. Warringford oweS ,
*.3 a debt of gratitude."
"I feel it, indeed I do," saidHelene. I
"I bless you, children," said old |
Doctor Warren, before whose sacred |
head I bowed in reverence. "May |
God's blessing rest on you all. You i
are going away, so they tell me. Well,
perhaps I shall not be here when you i
return, but take my blessing and iove
with you around the world." i
Oh, what kind words were said that |
day. From all sides the expressions i
sf regard were the sweetest. And the ;
heavens beamed upon no fonder nor i
hapoier hearts than oars. The day
before wo were going to sail, Gordon j
lounged into the library from the porch, |
where he had been sitting, and saw j
me on a step-ladder nailing something s
Ln the wall. I
"What the mischief are you up to |
now?" he asked. "Have you turned
carpenter, gone daft, or what?"
"None of them," I replied. "I am
preparing a work of art upon which
fature generations will dwell with awe
and admiration."
"Get your head out of the way so I I
can see it," ho said. i
I gave a nail a final rap and stepped <
down. Up on the wall, over a coral
bracket, was a girdle of brilliant stones
from which the light flashed in bright
Colors. Under it was the legend:
"Kaumai, the last of the Priestesses
of Pele."
Gordon laughed. When Winnie
saw it she 'aughed. When ^Helena
caw it she looked grave. Eat I surveyed
it with pride. It did not, however,
awe any future generation. Up
on our return irom our tour Tarougn
America and Europe, Eelene, who bad \
becorno a very wise sort of wife, tore ^
the thing down, and used the jewels
for dre;s trimming3. I remonstrated, j
"I want to keep that to remember [
the days on Kapatoli," I 6aid.
She opened her big eyes and lifted !
her brows saucily. I
"Well, dear, you have me, and it} ?
you cannot remember those days when j
you look at me, I am sure these bau- t
hies would not refresh your memory." 2
See what a slave a man may become
even in bis own domain!
CHAPTER XXXIH.
Prosperity has come to Hawaii.
The darkness of iguorance,'superstition
and idolatry have been chased 1
away by the light of education and ^
peace. The march of progress is ex- j
tending into every one of the inhabit- ,
ed islands, and the increasing com- <
forts of the people, under a satisfac- 1
tory and common-sense government, ?
have destroyed all the power once held 1
by the ex-queeu's adherents. There
is no more Kammiloukanilimawai. It '
went down under the severe menace i
of the law, and its tynples were destroyed.
All save u .. in Kapatoli, '
?hich was left intact at tly request oj !
Gordon and myself.
Our wedding tour lasted nearly a
year.
We visited the many places of interest
and scenic beauty in the United
Utates, tlia Yosemite Valley, Yellowstone
Park and Lower California. We
made stops at all the principal cities,
chiefly New York, Chicago and Washington.
We went to Loudon, thence
to Paris, where we remained for 6ome
rittle time. From there we went to
Nice and did the Riviera. Egypt and
the Nile and Lurrnah were visited and
Studied. Then back to Honolulu.
Helene and Winnie thoroughly en
joyed this travel, and we all benefited
by it very much. To Helene in particular
it was a revelation, so little
had she known of the world outside
her temples. Her mind broadened
under tiio stimulus of study, and she
proved her possession of a mind capable
of grasping the greater truths of
life, and was not long in patting herself
upm an equality with the most
accompfished. She readily acquired
a knowledge of music, and her nature
being essentially artistic, sho was an
adept in all the studies of higher cui?
ture which she took up. By the time
we arrived at Honolulu again I hau.
reason to be proud of my wife's men*
tal attainments as well as her physical
beauty.
Where the fair Nauanu Valley
ipreads its fairest vista, with the
mountains in the distance, the palms
and mangoes shading the fertile land,
:?
a new xuiuiaiuu oiuuua, ouixuuuuou kjj
? beautiful lawn. It is Palm Bower,
the home of Winnie and Gordon, and
is not far from The Corals, where
Helena and I have token up our
abode.
Our existence in Oahu is an ideal
one. We race up and down the valley
Dn our favorite horses, have picnics on
Diamond Point, have lawn parties
and balls to which all the best people
in Honolulu delight to come.
Old Doctor Warren is dead, but his
memory is held dear by the people of
Hawaii, to whom he left the precious
legacy of health; for his treatment of
leprosy was taken up by the Government,
and the leper colony at Molokai
is no more. Where my cottage stood
?the scene of my miserable waiting
for death?a pretty little park surrounds
a marble monument, upon
which I have bad inscribed a fitting
tribute to the great benefactor whose
life-study culminated in the effort that
gave me back my life and happiness.
Patuaand Ximo'ian have been amply
provided for, and frequently come to
The Corals or Palm Bower with a supply
of fish which they bavo taken in
tho fishing-schooners that wore part
of tho reward for their faithfulness.
Old Jean Chicot, nearly blind, tottering
on the verge of the grave, still
lingers, and his worship of Helene is
pathetic and beautiful to see. Like a
faithful dog he watches her graceful
movements, and murmurs to himself:
"Helen?my Helenel Itaughther,
ind see how beautiful she is!"
Ana JtLeicneis Deautuui. xienra ascendent
beauty increases with her happiness,
and in the infatuation that has
enthralled me, and will ever hold me, !
[ can see nothing but perfect happiness,
sweetest bliss in our future.
And Gordon, grown so stout that
his old uniforms are like those of a
hoy to him, lolls on his porch or mine,
laugles his sword-sheath over his leg
md talks proudly of his Winnie and
the great days that are ahead for all
of us.
THE EKE./
The Boston Strike fcnded.
Boston, Special.?Through the efforts
of the representatives of the
great mercantile bodies of the cities,
seconded by the chief executive of
cities and State, in conference with the
recognized leaders of organized labor
the great strike of freight handlers and
kindred trades represented in the allied
freight transporation council was
broken. Fully 20,000 men who have
been idle for four days will go to work
in the morning. This result was attained
at a conference this evening at the
office of Governor Crane.
