To a representative of tho Star the

THE BELLE OF THE HARPALION
LORD
YOUNG
WIL
Of al tho women who left their
homes in Portugal and Spain to jour
ney In tho Harpalion to tho Hawaiian
Islands, as immigrants, Senorita Es
trella do Mayas is undoubtedly tho
holle. Her reign as such has been
undisputed and It Is because of tho
beautiful Senorita that Secretary
Kearns of tho immigrant station has
been put to much trouble -In getting
awny six young men to tho plantn
tions. These single men wish to be
near tho plantation on which tho Sen
orita will mako her now homo In or
der that they may woo her, and tho
Sonorlta has refused to toll where she
Is going.
On tho long voyage from Spain
Senorita Estrella had many su!tor3
but bIio smiled on none. "I will see
tho mon of tho now country before I
mako my choice," she told her wooers.
'Terhaps I will not marry at all. I
haveheanl that there a woman does
nol need to mnrry to live."
Ploadlngs and cajolings wero In
vain' Tho Sonorlta would not listen
even whqn, aftor tho nrrlval here, sev
eral of her swains sought the good
offices of Interpreter Dutra to plead
fnr thorn. Tho latter made a number
of matches, seeing those who sought
his aid safely launched on the sea of
matrimony, but ho has to admit that
he could not persuade tho fair Es
trella that marriage with anyone of
several good looking young country
men was essential to her happiness.
' Severnl of Estrella's suitors became
discouraged and sought and found
wives among tho othor young immi
grants, but six husky and fairly hand
some young men want Estrejla or
none, vowing that otherwise life will
bo a hard thing for them and that gar.
Ho will lose Us savor.
Estrella herself is disdainful. "Put
me on an Island far away from theao
foolish youths who causq mo much
v.'earlnoss," sho told Secretly Kcarn3
through tho Interpreter. "Perhana
they will try to' swim to mo nnd tho
big fiRh will devour these troublesome
ones."
It is probable that the six will bo
sent to tho samo plantation on a
boat tomorrow and that- Senorita Es
trella will remain In Honolulu for n
time, and then go to an island of hor
own choosing. If tho six fight among
thomsolvcs for her favor, they 'will
