Mid. "He is trusted by thj priests,
bat I think he is a rogue. Still, he
4*es my bidding."
"Try it, oh, try it, prititeu, I be
seech yon!" I cried.
She loaned toward me, and her
boaom throbbed with a convulsive
straggle with some emotion. I could

X drew my ehair closer to hers, and
taking her hand in mine, caressed I

"Think of it, Kanmai, if yon had a

•tolen away from yon an l was to l>e
aacriQced to a heathen riuity, whom
yon knew did not exist—if her death
waa to be the horrible death to which
yon wonld send my sister, would you
not weep? Wonld yonr heart not l>e
heavy? Hove my sister, Kanmai; she
ia good and beautiful. Help mo to
■ave her, and I will lore you."
A startled expression, then a softer
one, showed in the starry eyes.
*'l hare never been love I. I hare
Barer lored any one bat Pele."
I dared draw the lorely hand nearer
Ota. I stooped and kissed it.
"Lore me, Kanmai," I said. "Lore
my sister. We will lore you in return.
Can yon not?" **■
A violent shudder shook Jier frame.
A convulsive sob broke from her. lint
ahe left her hand in mine. Her eyes 1
became suffused with tears. She was !
not now a priestess. Sho was an angol. j
I watt enthralled by her beauty. I
wanted to snatch her to my breast anil j
devour her with kisses, but the selfish- i
ness of the thought bade me forbear, |
Thero was time enough for this.
She seemed struggling a;ain with 1
aome difficult problem,
"Is it ao hnrd, Kanmai, for'one
woman to grant life to another?"
She flung my hand from her.
"You will not believe me," she
dried. "Von do not flunk I speak
the truth when I tell yon I am power
lass to help you. I swear to y.>a that
if it lay in my power yon ami your
aiater should depart from here in
peace to-day. And now, if yon would
take mo, I would go with you. lint
what am Ito do? If 1 am a priestess
of Pele, I must do as Pele demands. !
If I atn only n woman, as you say,
what eau I k> against ten high- ~
priests? Yet you do not believe me!" '
"Yes, Knuuiai, I believe you," I
■aid aootbingiy, "but I am ho over
wrought with anxiety. Pardon inu if
I wound yo«. 1 did not mean to be
harsh."
Sho flung hersolf on the rug at my
(aet aud clasps! my knees.
"Look at mo and tell me yon do not
hold me.responsible for your sister's
(ate. Toll oil. If I am ouly a wom
an, I have a woman's heart. Yet you
would spurn me."
I stooped and lifted her to her feet, i
She was sobbing.
"Kauuni, I believe yon fully," I '
*♦ aaid. "Whatever comes, I believe
you wonld help me if yon could."
A smilo lit up tho bjautifnl collate- j
nance aud ohaaod away the tears. }
We stood, sho with her face uplifted ,
to mine, smiling at ine. I, with one
arm still embracing her, as I had :
lifted her from the floor. A wave of
love swept over me. -The intoxica
tion of Kaumti's pnosonc' thrilled mo.
Suddenly there came t 10 sound of I
rushing footstep i. Tii i shu lliu { i
v high-priests, exasperate! by their I
failure to find me, w. ; i Coming to
. Kanmai to consult. Hhv hall said
they never entered thare, but. this oo
oasion was probably too much for
their already riven brains, mid they
intruded upon her presen •
"He is here!" cried one.
Kanmai sprang from m-». Instantly
•he wan again a priestess—or a queen.
Her face was palo—perlian with fear.
- - She stood predt, mitliiieln i j-
She gave mo one look, beseeching,
and soft.
"Trust me." she said.
As they came rushing in. her roico
rose above the din they ma le. Point
ing to mo, ahe turned bcr ga/.e full
npon ino. There was no love in it.
Nothing but tho rago of an insulted
goddess.
"Seize him aud take him to the
temples!" ahe cried. "Ho has dared
inrado tho sauctiiy of tho abode of
your priestess. Take liim hence, yet .
harm him not. I wonld have him
atrong and well to assist in tho sacri- j
floe that must bo ma le to Pele."
I wis roughly seized ->ud dragged
from fae place
They hustled me into the temples ,
and set a guard over me.
"You will remaiu here until ron die,"
they said. "You are a f ilse p'lest. I
Yoa mast pay the penalty "
Half dazed by ( tho sad len ehan„"
Kanmai, wondering an.l fearing, .1 |
•ank into the one chair near her J
throne and sat waiting for
farther developments.
CHAPTER XXIV.
Two days passed, duri.ig which I I
111 neither Winnie nor Kanmai. For
•ome reason—probably tie unusual
•xoitoment was the prevailing cajae—
there was m regular worshHprwftft
»•-- Kaumai on the throue in thare ha I
been before. But there w.m-j t .vo or
mora high-priests in the te uple all tli#
time, going through a ridlcilons lot of
vnbbish, all to the dory of Pele and
extolling their owu wonderful virtues.
In their songs or chants to their
goddess Winnie was frequently men
tioned.
I was free, so far as ths limits of the
temple, the diuing-cave an I the vol
cano's crater ware concerned. I could
wander at will in those places,
the door to my old dungeon had been
lookad, and the priests carefully guard
ed against any ohanoa of my getting
into Winnie's prison again. Kanmai,
| ■& no doubt, continued her risita, bnt I
aonld not gat near her. I waa rigidly
•xolnden from that part of the system
ot eaves where Xaumai'a room was
w -nc w w -
situated.
I passed the two days ia a greatly
troubled state of mind. The sadden
revulsion from hope to dospair nearly
drove me as insane as the high-priests.
The rambling of the subterranean
forces became louder. Now and then
the mountain wonld be shaken an! the
lske of lava wonld be stirred. Here
and there • little sport of lsra above
the surface gare worniugof the diead
ful scourge that was to come.
I feared the worst. If we remained
: in the crater until the lsra lake should
rise and orerflow the present borders,
we shonld be certainly doatroyed.
I endeavored to strike terror in the
breast of the high-priests by telliug
thorn of the danger they were in.
"Do you not know," I said to th«
leader, "if the rolcano becomes actire,
the lava will overwhelm us aud destroy
us all?"
"Oh, you prore that you are a false
priest and an unbeliever," be returned.
"You come here as Lowai's ancceasoi
nud desecrato the temple of Pele by
laying bands on berchoseu sacred one
for the sacrifice. Then you tear away
a portion of tho wall and seek tbe
presence of tho sacred one, where only
Kauinai may go. Fleeing from these
you dare go into tho sacred chamber
of Kaumai and rudely insult tbe
priestess. Yon are lost. Pele is out
raged, and her wrath demands ven
geance. Kaumai is incensed at your
violence, and after the sacrifice of tbe
sanred one, you, too, may be sent to
I your death."
| "Rut that won't save yon. You and
! Knuniai anil all tho rest will be slain
I wlion tho eruptiou comes."
"But it will not coine. Even now
| wa aro preparing for tho saerity-e.
' W'liv.n wo offer the sacred one to I'ele.
' she will slay tho evil spirits under
! Kapatoli and still tho tumult. Yoa
I aro not n believer, so yon must die."
"It must bo stopped!" I said almost
j frenzied, for I know the crisis was ap-
I proaoUing. "My sister shall not be
murdero 1 by a gang of lnnatics. I
will call down the wrath of tho gov
ernment on you, aud you will be pnt
to death."
"But yon eannof call down any
thing, Ixjcmiso yon will be dead."
"I will vinit IVlo in Ifaleakala and
nock her assistance. She wilt vent
her wrath upon yon."
"Not so. Pele knows well her faith
ful servants. She would not reoeivo
r.or listen to yon."
.fust tlie.i a still lomter roar came
from tho lake, louder than any we had
heard. The high-priest gave a startled
look.
"It is time," ho said, and hurried
.away.
The common'priests, while no doubt
as sincere in their devotion to Polo as
(lie highs, were not so firm in their
faith as to Pole's power over volcanoes.
One by one they began to Jcpart. I
could, I suppose, had- my-
Helf like them-*— in fact, Jwiii already
so garbed—aud fastened on my mask,
have made tny escape bybribing Nuno
l»u, whose cupidity I already knew.
Hut 1 knew that I would not bavetime
to get nid and return before tbe horrid
plans of tho lunatics would be carried
out, Winnie-was in imminent dan
ger. nud 1 resolved to remaiu until tbe
last, aud see what I could do.
Nimolau now appeared iu the temple
and took his moals with the coinmou
priests. He hung around idly, seem
ing to keep away from me aud com
pletely ignoring me. He was, not
withstanding his lack of reverenes for
I'ele, as suggested by Kaumai, tvi- ■
dently a mau of mark nud importance
in the place, fur bo was frequently in
long, stealthy discussions with the
leaders of thehigh-pricsts. Andouce
I overheard one say to him:
"Kaumai domands your presence."
Nimolau at onco departed in thedi
rsction of Kaumai'* room.
,1 resolved to tost Nimolau and see
if ho conlil not be bribed to help me.
) Sonn after tho interview he had had
ivith Kaumai, I saw him standiug
ilone, gazing into the now bubbling
1 mil spittiug lake. He stndiously
avoided me, so I went to hiia.
"Nimolau," I said, "I am in great
trouble. Tho saered one who is
lo bo sacrificed iu this awful lake of
in>lten lava is my (lister, whom I love,
and who is lovoijrby friends high and
powerful in the government at Hono
lulu. It is awful to thiuk of su.*i a
fate for her. I caiuo here as a priest
to tlnd and roscue her. I hare failed,
j No.v I want yon to help me. Yon do
i not believe in this stuff about Pele. I
I im rich. I will pay you well if yon
! ti.ive iny sister... The priests tell me
) that I, too, am condemned to die. Now
I if you will get my sister and me away
I from this hellish place I will iuakeyo.l
j the richest of your race. You shal'
' want for nothing."
j Ho turned his cunning eyes oa m>>
j in I studied me well.
He opened his lips partly as if U»
speak.
A high-priest camc ont of tho tea
pie' and stood looking at us. ,
Nimolau raised bis hand and struck
| mo across tho face, and, turning ca
his heel, walked away to join the
priest.
My last hope was gone.
I was too mnch disheartened and
s-'ck to even resent tho insnlt. I
stood rooted to tho spot, watching his
retreating figure.
Then two more high priests ap
peared, and the fonr engaged iu an
animated discussion.
They beckoned for me to come to
them. *
"Come," one of thorn said, "and
seo the preparations for tbe sacrifioe."
I followed thein stoli Ht. I waa
rapidly losing the power to think. I
was dazed with misery. •
They. Jed pie into Winnie'* prison,
Kautnii w*s there, standing proudly
and grandly i alone,' oold, impassive,
beautiful. She was not like the lovely
Kanmai who had listened to me bnt
two days before and who besought me
to trust her. She was the incarnation
of indiffereuoe, of cruel fanaticism.
And yet, at sight of her, my heart,
baatjaatar jndjgy fcloo4gUw waymsr.
THE BNTERPBISE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13.1901.
She was so beautiful. Why waa aha
nut more kiid?
Upon a table lay my sister Wiania,
apparently dead.
I did not see her npon my entranea.
She was covered with a cloth. She
was robed aa Kaumai waa and lookad
oalm and beautiful sare for the traeea
of eorrowHhat were in her faee.
When I saw her lying there, I cried
ont:
"Winnie, my sister, Winnie! Hare
they murdered you?"
I bent orer her frantically and
kissed her. Ak! Her breath still
came warm and sweet from her.
"What ia this yon hare done?" I
slionted, shaking the restraining hand
of a priest from my arm and getting
Tady to make what sort of a fight I
•on Id against such odds. "Mar
derera! Hell-hounds! I call down
the vengeance of God npon yon!"
Kanmai stood impassive, not look
ing at me bnt at Winnie.
Two priesta aeized me, and in their
grasp I was a babe.
"Ifarm him not!" said Kaumai, in
toner, that were cold and nnfeeling.
"I wonld hare him assist at the aocri
fice."
"Yonr sister is not dead," said
Nimolau, "but is sleeping. We do
that to prepare her to meet the flow
ing lava, as then she will not feel the
pain death. It is not the law of
Pole," to do this, but Kaumai has
never before sacrificed a human being
to Pele, and she does this to ease yonr
sifter's way."
"Horrible !" A I cried, turning to
j Kaumai. "Are you entirely heart
less?"
"Has Nimolau not shown that I am
not heartless?" she asked.
A black cloth Isy at the side of the
table. Ouo of tbe priests picked it np
sud tr.'ew it over Winnie, completely
covering her. It wss a besvy cloth.
Nimolau folded bsck the edge of it,
leaving Winnie's.fsce uncovered so
lint she could breathe. I thanked
hi n with my eyes for even that kind
ness.
"That is the sacrificial cloth," he
said; aud I understood enough.
"Come!" said the chief high-priest;
and they led tue away.
To pass Kauinai, the space being
narrow, it was necessary to go in
single file. Am I walked before her, 1
uo.iccd Iter lips move.
"Trust me. I love yon," she whi*-
i er id. and became as ice again.
Wuat hope was stirred within me as
s'ie s|H>ke! Hoe words bade me cheer.
I'erhaps, after all, she was- sincere,
mid the nobility that should go baud
i i hand with her marvelous beauty
might iw»t be lacking. When we left
Wiuuie's room, iu a half-dazed w*y,
without attaching any importance tt
this fact, I noticed that only Kaumai
and Nimolau wers !eft with Winnie.
f crward I reinuuvurol the blow
Ninoluil had given lue, nnd this, with
my fear of Kr.umni'a character,
plunged m« again into despair.
Bat the suspenso would soon be
over. I'atna tho tisherman waa now
on the Hceiie, called) no doubt, to wit?
uess the sacrifice, a ceremony evident
ly as new to liitn as it was to Kanmai.
Ilefore tho saoritlco thcre was to be
a f.-ast.
A loug table was spread iu the tem
ple. A
Around it sat tho high-priests an!
what of the common priesta had re
mained to seo tbe volcanoes stilled by
the sacrifice of human life. Patua
and Nimolau alao sat with them. I sat
between two powerful liigh-priesls,
hut could not touch anything of their
fanatical repast.
ltut Nimolau ato heartily. Iu fact
lis proved a perfect gourmand. He
e il'ed repeatedly for the best things
ou tho table, and they disappeared
more quickly than au ordinary man
could eat thein.
During the feast, one, then another
of the high-priests kept up a horrible
chanting.
At last that ordeal was over. The
table was hurried out of the way.
There was littlo time to lose. Great
'parts of lava could be seen coming
front the lake. Jets of steam puffed
up frotu the mass of hot stuff and dis
solved into air. I fancied I saw tbe
overwhelming wavo of lava upon n*
each moment, ••> overwrought was I.
'i'iie rumbling was lond, bnt it had
■>e"n growing for a year.
Kamnai appeared and walked majes
tically through tho temple and out
oftto the ledge. Tho high-priesta in
•reased their noisy chants and fell
into line behind her. The common*
priesta followed.

The European dog census has heft)

864.000 dog.-, holding the European rec
ord. Not only are there more doga In
France than In any other country In
Europe, but there are more per thous

ropean country. F.ance haa 75 doga to
every thousand of ita Inhabitants
Then follow Irelaad with 73. England
with 3D. Germany with 81. and Bwe
den with ii. There are .309.000 dogs In
Oermany, 1.G00.0*0 In Rurala and 3.~>0.- '
000 in Turkey.' thonrh tourists who ;
have resided in ron"fanllnoplc aver j
that this number falia abort of tho ac
tual total, which they think to be
larger In Turkey than elsewhere. In
France there 1s a dog lax and every
dog la reglatered, a condition which
makes the computation camparatlvely
easy In that country. The number of
doga In the I'nlted States Is estimated
st from 1.000.000 to 150,000.000.
It is said that the great fair held ,
every year at Nljnl Novgorod, Kussla.
Is the isrgest In the world. It fre- |
quently happens that 400.000 people 1
are In the fair grounds at one time, j
and the volume of business transacted
Is enormous. In the year 1899. for ex
. ample, goods to the value of more than
172.000.000 rubles were brought to the
fslr. This represents about
000 of our money, and of this amount
more than H3.OOOJNMI rubies worth
was sold.
It la worth noting that In the gradu- '
atlng class at the University of Ver
mom thla year was a young woman
who supported herself doing houae
work through the entire four years'

himself by working it hla trade of
atone cutter. The titnk has entirely j

No matter how hard
your cough or how long
you have had it. Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral is the
best thing you can take.
It's too risky to wait
until you have consump
tion. If you are coughing
today, get a bottle of
Cherry Pectoral at once.
