CONTINl'EI).
Ho wo went on, turning ami twisting
about dark nooks nnd corners, I, nt
oust, expecting every moment to be
ivied by a minima priest.
"In bore," Hiiil Kuiiiuni.
Wo stooped mul din ted through a
Idw archway that led into a largo nuJ
elegantly furnished chamber.
This large, room was hung with tap
estries mill contained every nrticlo of
I'Olnfolt.
There wevo easy-chairs, similar to
. iako I bail seen frequently in Hono
. tu.
ho stono floor was covered with
ofi rugs.
A L'irror bung nt ono side.
At ihe end of the chamber, in n
suull nlo.ovo, bidden by curtains, was
tlio bed t( the priestess.
When wo catered, who threw herself
in a large ehnir, panting aud fliiHhcd
(ruin her rapid flight.
"Von nro safe for the time," she
raid. "No priest, high or common,
cvor comes hero."
I was puzzled bow to net. I was in
lit j presonee of a Htrango priestess,
who bad the lives of Winnie and my
r.elf iihsolute'.y in her power and the
cruelty to crush out those lives at the
bidding of her senseless religion. Rut
I was also in the preseneo of a beauti
ful woman, rarely lovely, who bad
about her, as she sank wearily intc
bnr chair, none of the austere priest
ess. Rather, she was the loveliest,
fairest, mod fascinating being I had
ever seen, an I scarcely moro than i
isirl.
"Heautifiil Katimai," I said, kneel
ing on a rug at her feet, "explain Hit
mystery of your preseneo hero ant
1 1: nvful religion that calls for tht
,.i ' -r of a gill like yourself."
- o looked at mo dreamily a mo
ment. "do not think I am able to ex
plain it," who said. "But do not
kneel before me. It is for those otb
era to kneel, not you."
I drew a chair near her and sal
down.
"You have really seen Pt-le," bin
paid. "Tell ino about her."
'There is nothing to tell," I re
plied, resolved to test tho belief o'
tun priestess. "There is no l'ele. "
Kauuiui s it erect and gazed nt me
v.oideiiiigly.
"Von do not speak tho truth," she
paid. "l'ele lives, else why niu J
Lore?"
"Thai's what I want to know. Why
we you here, and where did you conn.1
from? Who taught vo-.i this bolief in
l'ele?"
Her ga..s wandered from inn to
Iistant parts of the room. A vacant,
faraway look came iutj tho beautiful
eyes.
"1 ib) not know; but never mind
we. Tell ino about l'ele."
"I have told yon all tliero is to tell
nl iat her. When you assert the non
oxisletioo of n thing there is nothing
else left to bo told."
'' dou'l believe yon."
"Did you ever hear of Odd?"
"l'ele is a godde-is."
"Doyou kuo.v my nationality?"
"Xo. I kiio-.v you nro cot a native
of Hawaii. Vou mint be either Eng
lish or American. When your sister
was brought here, I now recollect, it
was said she was ir.i American, Sj
you must bo one, ton."
"And what me y.m? You are not
native. You are whiter than 1 am."
"I am a priestess of Polo. Wo nro
immortal."
"Nonsense. You arc no moro im
mortal than am."
" Ytiu blaspheme."
"Call it what you will. Let mo tell
ym what you are, and you may punish
mo if I a;:ger you."
A beautiful smile, illuminated her
fuee.
"I'roeeol," sho said. "You may
toll ma anything w ithout fear of mji
anger."
"You nre the most beautiful woma.i
in tho world, and have been taught
this nonsense in yohr early youth, by
some one who is either a lunatic, like
these priests, or who fosters their
cr.i.y order for somo purpose of polit
ical power or other seltish motive.

gases nro sent out and must, in Bonn

Kauunii was now lieniling eajprly
forward, her binds clasped over her
ktiees, and her face showing tho in
terest she took in what I said.
"If that is so," sho said, "why dors
this molten mass como from tho tops

"Because, Kitumai, long, long ago,
ivhen tho volcanoes llrst broke forth,
;uoro were no mountain there, but
th mass that came from them grew
col. I and bard, and collected year al ter

inouiitttins grew."
It was like talking to a child, yet to
n c'lild with keeu perception beyond
Ih i ordinary person of mature age.
"JIow do you know all this?"
"Wo read it in books written by
great men who spend their lives
studying the groat truths of nature,
and who teaeli us what they learn."
"Who tea-lies them?''
"rioino men are gifted by tbofio l.ol
whom I have just told you, with u
s'.eat mental power. They are able
:o reach out into tho davkuess of ig
norance; and light it with their dis
coveries. To them, tho aeerets of
rarth unfold themselves. And so,
no man is great in his own way mid
small in others. Another man is
great i.i another way, and while all
men may be nb'o to teach something,
so all men may learn ho. nothing of
others."
"Vou know rveiytbing."
"' I know comparatively noth

"An 1 in that world, aro there many

"There ar.i n ne so beautiful as yon,

"Tito world never heard of it. You

"Then why may you not, Kauniai:

Tho priestess rose from her chair
md walked nervously across the clmui-iii1!-.
She peered out into the darkness
and listeeed intently for something.
I'lion she returned anil sank wearily
uto her chair.
"What you suggest is impossible,"
i'.io said. "Fust, I cannot accept

"Why is it imj osi-ible?"
"Because I cannot leave here. Vt

people know mo only as I know my
self, a priestess of l'ele. As sm-li
they obey me. As Kauniai, the wom

"But I can appeal to iho govern
incut to send aid mid destroy these
people and piivo us,"
"Vou could not leavo this plac
alone. Neither could I. If I am to
die, as you teach me, then I limi t die
here. So must you. So must your
sister."
"J3ut, Kaumni, listen. This is hot--riblo,
to remain here, when we could
go out into a beautiful world nnd he
roine part of it. To what purpose do
wo end on- lives here?''
"To no purpose, if what you nay is
true. To thn glory of l'ele, if what

"They aro a lot of maniacs."
"How nm I to know that?"
"Is there no person save myscb who

"Who is that':"
"Niinolnu. who brought yon here."
"Is there not somo way that Xiuiolau

"No. Ho would bo destroyed if h

"But wo must not die here."
"Await mo here," sho said, rising.
"Tlio high-pricsts will need me now.

Kauniai was gone, perhaps, half a i
hour.
When she returned she was flushed
and anxious.
"They are highly exasperated," she
said. "They are scarchin ? the cav

bore. I did what 1 could to subdil.1
their rage."
"My sis(er!"
".She is safe. They will not harm
her until they s.iTitico her."
"Kauniai, they must not sa riiiea

"They will. I cannot prevent it."
"Are you n.it pow erful her ?''
"Yes, as a priestess of i'e!e. But

"Kauniai, can a woman as b.-a itif il

sweeter tha i ever before.
"And you will not try?" I hsko i
eagerly.
"may try," she replied hesitat
ingly. "But I cannot help you. I
know no way."
A moment of hiletici passed.
"Kauniai," 1 said, "tell'in nil yon
know of yourself. All that you can
remember."
"It is but little," sho said, with an
evident effort to force recollection.
"I haven dim remembrance, of a tem
ple not a bare rock like the temple
hero, but a rich temple, in which th; re
were priests of l'ele who taught me.
Then I was brought here in a ho a:
and given to another priestess, v, h i
taught me how to conduct tilings o i
this island. That priestess remained
for a year and thou went away. That
is nil I know."
"But how came you to learn Eng
lish? Who taught you that?"
"A man who used to come to t'ie
temple to see me. A small, dark man,
who said ho was n wanderer on the
face of the earth, nnd t aiou i for his
Uns ho hal devoted bit life t tho

"Another crank," I said. "IKd he.
give nny name?"
"I do not rcmombrr. It was many
years ago."
"Not so iiiauy," I said. "You are
not many years obi, Kauniai. Not
more thuu nineteen or twenty I
should judge. Wero y.r.l a child a.

"Yes."
"Theii does that not seem to you t ;
