of his calling, entered the vestibule and
rang the Tipperary bell.
"That cop is offn his beat," com
mented the astute boy. "If the rounds
comes- around he's in fer it. But my
name is Cassidy."
The next night the visit was repeated;
and yet the next; and yet many suc
ceeding nexts. HI. courtship was pro
gressing smoothly. The widow", ru.a
was working like the proverbial charm
Only once did discovery threaten.
That was during one of the osslfer' s
vlfsits when Maggie placed her mouth
Just outside of the keyhole and. called
through the door, "Ma, Willie; says his
name's O'Brien and I am Maggie Cas
sidy. Whhch am I, please?"
"Unroolv poopils thlm," said the love
lorn osslfer.
"Turrible," said the widow shyly.
"But you- know something must be
done to pay the rlpt."
In the hallway below stood Tommy
smoking a cigarette. "That's a fancy
stunt," ne mused. "He', been six times
offn his beat and six times he's been
up to our floor. Guess he's keeplfi' com
pany -with my mother I mean Mrs.
Tipperary as used to be my mother.
But mv name is still Cassidy. He rushed
me outen the way tonight I guess he
don't like kids. It's all In the game,
though." So Tommy smoked away and
patiently, awaited developments.
Three days afterwards the entire flat
learned that the Widow Tipperary was
engaged "to be married to the handsome
Mulligan. Tommy alone disapproved
of .the alliance. "This school business'
is n. g." was his comment. "He don't
like us. that's plain. I deesay when ma.
meaning Mrs. T Is married, they'll be
turnln' lis out and tryln' to send us
home. Home! I wonder where the Cas
sldvs live. As for Mulligan, I'd give a
nickel to call him 'pa' Jes once, and see
how he'd take It."

"I do that." said Tommy.
"Why aren't you at school, at the
widder's school, where yes belong?"
"None of your business." said Tom
my curtly.
"Punch him." whispered Willie who
had an abiding faith in Tommy's pugil
istic potentiality.
"A good chanst to get rid of thlm
while we're on our honeymoon," thought
the officer. Aloud be added. "I'll arrlst
both of yex. Come along."
Tommy went smiling. Seeing that,
Willie smiled too. The latter young
gentleman was certain that Tommy's
apparent docility was feigned and that
at the psychological moment when Mul
ligan had been lulled Into unwarlness,
he'd soke 'lm yet."
Nothing of the kind happened, how
ever, and they soon reached the station
house. A sergeant received them.- He
was large and fat and he -paraded gilt
galore. But Tommy did not care; he
had resolved upon his course of action
and was careless as to his fate.
The sergeant turned to Tommy. "Is

"Sure, can't you see?" said the boy.
"We've the same shade of freckles. His

used to think her name was Tipperary.

"do and fetch Mrs. Tipperary," said
the sergeant.
Tommy felt that his time had come.
"Just "a minute," he said. "Sergeant,

Mulligan glared savagely.
"Yes sir." answered the sergeant.
"And when a osslfer goes dut he goes

"Yes, sir." .
"And .if he goes offn his beat, he's

"Yea fined and dismissed."
"And if he goes orfn hi. beaf six

Mulligan fled. Soon afterwards he

HIS GLOOM SHOP RUNS DOUBLE-By J. A. Jayne
OF A CERTAIN man who is for
ever looking on the dark side of
things and complaining that
there Is neither beauty nor bless
injpln the world, it Is said: "He
runs his gloom shop all the time." "
When this man speaks his sentences
fall on the air llke the dismal croak
ing of carrion crow. When he lifts up
his voice there Is In It the melody and
the magic of the "hee-haw" of the
mule. Wherever he goes the air Is as
full of blackness as the sea Is full of
vlle.-sraellng ink after the squkl has
passed that way.
Every hope that comes to this man's
life withers and turns bitter and sour.
Every accomplishment when finished
is like dead seat fruit, full of ashes
and dust within. For him there Is
no pleasure, peace or prosperity. He
Is a calamity howler and howls the
loudest when there Is the least to how'
tbout. si
Thts man Is a success as manu
facturer tf gloom. His smokestacks
are fed from the fires of discontent
and blacken and darken the atmos
phere for miles around.
Nothing that Is done In the world
suits hi in. If he happens to l a mem
ber of a church and on Its official
board he make, the life of the preacher
ind his fellow members" "Bitter, through
his perpetual recitations of how things
were done In former pastorates, and
how the new times are not equal to
the good old times, when he was a
young man climbing life's hill. It
matters little how well the church
choir ' sings, how much time -a com
mittee his spent on arrangement of a
program for - an entertainment, how
much visiting tire pastor does, or the
sermon, he preaches, the smoke from
the fact6ry of the gloomy man fills,
the eyes, obscures the vision and turns

of weeping and wales of Hinnon.

It is thts situation, apparently, which
ha. given . rise to ,the rumor, from
Washington that lire heads of the gov
ernment are considering the advisabil
ity of having congress revoke the r- .
ganlo act, thereby taking .away from '
. the citizens of the territory the right
of franchise. This would certainly be
an extreme measure, and it Is doubtful
if the remedy would be any better than
the disease. ,- ,
What foundation there is. for the ru
mor tha writer is unable to say, but It
certainly is being taken seriously by
the people of Hawaii, as is indicated .
by the utterances of. the. press of Hon
olulu. And, strange to say,: the news'
paper seem to be not only resigned to
- the idea, -but even mildly to approve,
,' -Of it. r J
But the proposition la looked upon by
the native Hawailans only as an another
effort on the part of the white tnan
to take from them the right of fran
chise. Ever since annexation the Ka
naka has been suspicious of the haole ,
for the overthrow of the monarchy
rankles and will not be forgotten a.
long as the generation of 10 years ago
Is still alive. They are always afraid
that the whfcea will manage In some
way to deprive them of the ballot. And
It is but fair to say- that a good manyj
of the white people of the island re-i
'gsrd the natives as unfitted for the1
right of franchise and -would be glad
to see it taken away from. them. So
the Hawaiian, have some ground t&l '
their suspicions. .
' It Is the feeling that Hawaii should
remain the land of the Hawaiian, that'
gave rise t6 the third party some Tears
ago, the Home Rule party, the motto
of which Is "Hawaii for the Hawaiian a.
This party five years ago was very
strong and elected not only nearly, all .
the members of the legislature, but: also
many other orricers or tne local govern- 1
ment But slnoe that time It has grad
ually been. wasting away, and though
the feeling that gave It birth t. still
prevalent among the natives, their ln- .
ferests have become too much divided ,
fhr the party to have much strength.
Nevertheless, it still remains a factor
In Hawaiian politic.
- This' year a new party ba. arisen, ,
called tha Labor party. The name, how-
ever. Is misleading, Suggesting aa.it'
does, a concerted movement on the part
of organised labor. There- is no organ-
Ised labor in Hawaii. It Is doubtful if .
a labor day parade could muster much
more than a, .core of men holding union .
cards. The name chosen is simply a
name, nothing more. The leader and
organised of the party Is Charlie Achl.

the fact that h is Ignorant of the law,
