at the fat, disturbed countenance of bla
employer. Heretofore they had always
been on good terns—something must
have occurred to turn Babcock's anger
upon hlni. The simple fact of hla
walking on Sixth avenue or any other
thoroughfare during his nooning could
not account for this Inquisition.
Then, all at once he remembered
Cella Hart had once said she had met
Skiff Babcock several times, and liked
him.
Casey's face grew cold and hard.
"I've an Interest In \ou» Tim." said
Skiff with a sudden change of tone.
"I'm obliged."
"Have you ever wanted to go Into
the trucking business for yourself?"
The younger man's face underwent a
brief change.
"Every man looks to bettering him
self," he sold warily.
"I'd let you have the old stable on
West street and three teams—I'd give
'em to you."
"What for7" demanded Casey bluntly
SklfT dropped subterfuge and looked
his driver square In the eye.
"You'll understand when 1 tell you
that I've made up my mind to marry
Cella Hnrt! Look what I can give her
—diamonds, an aut.vmoblle. all the
money she wants to spend and a hired
girl to do her work. What can you
give her—eh?" His sneer conld not
be suppressed. "For the sake of the
girl I should think you'd step back,
Casey! She's too fine to work herself
to the bone as the wife of a poor truck
driver. As Mrs. Skiff Babcock she'd
live like a lady. You stand off and I'll
set you up In business—you're smarl
and can stand where I do ten years
from now. You'll never have another
chance."
Aslicn faced. Casey stared hack at
him.
"I'll not do It?" he muttered
"What Is your price then?" demanded
Skiff Impatiently. "Name It and I'll
pay It."
"Me price?" stammered Casey. And
he seemed to pouder the question
"Yes your price. Name It and I'll
pay It." Skiff smiled complacently.
Things were'comlng his way He nev
er had known this treatment to fall.
Every rnim has his price.
Suddenly Casey's head went up. "Me
price is this," he said heavily—"me
price Is this. Send for Cella Hart and
let her choose between us."
Skiff's smile faded. "It's no way to
treat a lady It'll scare her." he said
doubtfully.
"it s me price, itucmini vuov.»
lenly. "Let her have tbe say. 1 don't
wunt your Job."
Stiff Babcock nodded shortly and
pulled the telephone toward him. He
railed up the milliner's where Telia
Hart worked and asked that she be
pent at on<-e !n a taxlcab to the office
of the Skiff Babcock Trucking com
pany, and then he «at back and waited
uervously for her coming.
Tim Casey leaned against the oppo
site wall, white faced, with miserable
eyes.
What girl would hesitate at choosing
between the plump, well dressed and
obviously rich proprietor and tbe shirt
sleeved truck driver?
He wished that he had knocked Skiff
down when the suggestion was first
made. But Cella ought to have a
chnnce to better herself. Cella was a
lovely, bright creature, aud the bo«t
was none too good for her. But was'
Skiff Babcock the best?
Cella should decide.
A half hour ticked away, and at last
a tail drew up to the curb, and a slim,
black gowned form crowned with a
coral hat all askew flew into the office
and looked dazedly around.
"What's happened to Tlmmy?" she
demanded breathlessly.
Then her eyes fell upon Tim Casey,
standing there so grim and silent, and
she ran to him and flung herself on his
breast.
"Ah. Tlmmy, I thought you was
dead, or something:" she cried. "What
Is the matter?"
Skiff Bnbcock stepped Into a small
adjoining room.
Tim Casey's great chest heaved, but
he did not unfold bis arms to encircle
her.
"Cella," he said hoarsely, "you're
promised to me. and I'm a poor man.
But suppose there was another man,
rich and better'n me. Some one like
Skiff Babcock. Wblch would you
choose, eh? He's got an autymoblle
and diamonds, and his wife could live
like a lady."
Cella Hart shook his shoulder vigor
ously. "Tim Casey. I believe you're
sun struck or something, you act so
queerl''
"Would you, cella r
"Did you call me away from trim
ming my wedding hat—yes. sir. I'm
getting my hat at Mine. Moriarty's,
with the best of 'em. and she set me
to trimming It myself. And you called
me away from that to ask me would I
marry Skiff Babrock?"
"Yes."
"Well, you can take It from me that 1
wouldn't," declared Miss Hart emphat
ically, "not If he rode In tei; auty
moblles at once and was sewed all over
with diamonds Now, come along with
me and take something for your sun
stroke." She dragged the beaming Tim
by one sleeve toward the outer door.
"Walt a minute. Celia"' and he step
ped to the door of the inner room.
"You heard, Mr. Bab:'Ock?" he asked
of the still figure by the window.
Skiff Babewk turned a pale, flabby
face to vard him and nodded. "1
heard." he said hoarsely. "Go along
with her. You needn't stay around."
"You mean I'm fired?" s
"No. You can come back after—
after the wedding. I guess I don't un
derstand girls very well."
When he was alone Skiff Babcoek
lighted another cigar and muttered to
himself:
"I guess that's the price I'm paying
now.";

the question of transportation, is
the only one that stands in the
way of wonderful activity and fur

In speaking pi his own claims
Mr. Havner said that he and his
partner had thirteea claims located
between Big Honolulu and East

Mr. Havner opened up; three
ledges this summer, being 50, 30
aud 10 feet in width, and the 60
foot tunnel drives in the base of
the sulphide ore developed into a
24 foot ledge of unknown depth.
The finding of antimony la this
country has caused great excite-J

Yet his kindness of heart was such

On one occasion Tennyson was very
