No Job Promised Says Sylva Ilditor Maui News: In answering to an article of the last issue of the Maui News, March uth, 1915, statins that Louis II. Sylva. who resigned from the police force the first of the month. is out in the field stumping for Chas. Lake, for County Sheriff. It is reported that Sylva has been promised the place as deputy sheriff in case Lake succeeds in winning the sheriffs chair from Clem Crowell. I admit that of hav ing resigned from the police force and is now out stumping for Lake, but ah-:-i)lui( ly deny any such promises, Ilia; is untruth. I think this is a fiee country arid a man is free to do what he thinks is right provided he is not violating the laws of the Territory cf Hawaii. Signed: LOUIS H. SYLVA. Wailuku, Maui, March 6, 1913.

Benjamin Franklin Todd sat down on the plush seat beside bis wife of two hours and thirty-seven niiuutes, pulled down bis white waistcoat to fit snugly that portion of his anatomy that it was intended to fit, nnd peered past Mrs. Benjamin Franklin Todd Into the mystery of the darkening train shed. "Huh!" he exclaimed, puffins out his chest proudly. "The folks back home said we couldn't get to N'York city alone, did they? I'll show 'em. Why. Pnusy, the worst Is over; we're on the right train, anyway." "They don't know how smart my Betijy is," she averred coolngly. "Course we'll get there!" Beujy assumed au expression of vast pride. Ho was bursting Into speech when a sudden panicky thought forced the glance of his china blue eyes up ward towurd the baggage rack over head. llo made a quick mental Inventory of his and his bride's belongings. "Pansy!" The shrill treble held a note of utter horror. "I forgot the umbreller!" ho wailed. A glance nt his watch reassured him that the train would not leave for six minutes. "Oh, Benjy! And it was our wed din' present from Uncle Elihu!" "I'll get It It's in the lunch room," he declared, with importance. "You'll get left sure," worried his wife. "Don't go. Benjy. It'd be just awful to get separated so soon." "Leave it to me," ordered the young husband. "If you're nervous while I'm gone just walk to the very last car of the train, an' you can see mo comln' back." Ho trotted through the car und hop ped down the stops. A boy in a shabby uniform and visored cap passed close by. "Say, boy," piped Benjy, "want a Jobr "Don't mind." said the boy sadly. , "My umbreller. I left it In the res taurant Upstairs, you know across there. It's a weddln' present You .bring It here, an' an' I'll fix you ap, I will." ' "A' right a' right" The boy turned away wearily. "Walt here," he threw over his shoulder. Benjy waited obediently, but nervous ly. When he was sure that the boy had been pone half an hour at least be looked at his watch. There was still a minute to spare. He grasped the hand rail of the last car and held on with grim determination. At any rate the train could not escape him. A tall, gangling man in overalls, car rying a lantern and hammer, passed, regarding him curiously. "Uey!" called Benjy. "Train fr N'York leave on this track?" he que ried to make conversation. "Yep track 13." The bridegroom shivered; he was naturally superstitious. The next mo ment he caught sight of the boy com ing through the gate with the precious umbrella In his band. "Here y'are!" said the boy, holding out the umbrella, ferrule first. Mr. Todd offered a dime, which was scornfully rejected, augmented the fee with a quarter and turned to fly, com ing into violent contact with his gan gling friend. "Where ye goin'?" "To catch my train!" gasped Beujy. "Too late; it's went," said the tall one placidly. The belated bridegroom's hands shot up and clutched the reassuring brass rail again. "It ain't went! It ain't went!" he shrilled. "I've got aholt of it!" With the contemptuous calmness of his class, the railroad man pulled Ben jamin Franklin to one side and point ed. The car bad been left "My wife! My wife!" shrieked the youthful husband wildly. "Oh, what will I do? I've lost my wife!" "Come with me." They raced across tracks, through car vestibules, up n flight of iron 6tairs and burst into a large room where a myriad of telegraph Instruments chat tered their unintelligible gossip all at once. To Benjy they seemed to mock his plight In a gay abandon of meaning less sound. Tho overalls came to a halt beside a young man with a green shade over his eyes, whose fingers rested Idly for a fraction of a second on his key. "Herb, this kid's lost his mother I mean his wife. She went out on 44. Shoot a message to Clancy, will yer? Au' see 'f you c'n get 'em together again." "All right; catch Mm at Brlghtslde," Herb complied. "Name? Description?" he barked, glancing at Benjy. "She she's a big. tall girl," blurted her husband "about two Inches tall er 'n me, an' " Ilerb snickered "(Jo on," he order ed crisply. "An" ber name's Pa nsy Butterworth." Herb was calling BS, BS. "Got 'em," tie grunted. "Wait! No. it aiiit!" cried the for getful husband. "It useter be Parvsy Futterworth, but It Mrs. Todd now Mrs. Benjniiiiu Franklin Todd. Have you got her on the end of the wire?" lie asked anxiously, biting his finger nails. "I've caught Clancy at Brlghtslde. He'll answer from Newvllle." "Better come outside," urged the guide. "Be about five minutes before you c'n get tin nnswer." Benjy walked out of the stuffy room In a daze, the tail man going off about his own affairs with the promise that he would return shortly. The crisp air cleared Mr. Todd's brain somewhat bringing h sharp reali zation of his unfortunate predicament Of course I'unsy would be found soon, but would he have the nerve to con tinue that perilous journey to New York after his ignominious blunder? lie clinched his pudgy Qsts nnd stamped one tiny foot in impotent an ger. His high friend jogged bis elbow. "Time for yer answer," he remarked. Again they confronted Herb. "Anything doin'?" "Got Clancy all right He says thre is no such party on the train." Ilerb grabbed n pencil and became intensely interested in the dot nnd dashed re marks of a man down the line. "I've lost her! I've lost her!" Beujy's wall drowned momentarily the brassy voices of the sounders. A thick set, iron gray man strode into the room with nn authoritative manner. He glanced sharply nt the tiny fig ure in his path. "What's the trouble?" be rasped. "My wife!" choked Benjy. "She's alone in this town an' I ain't with ber to perfect her. It's nil because the train pulled out on me an I had abolt of it nil the time, an' " "Here! Start that all over again," i cut in the thick set man bruskly. Painfully Beujy retraced his declam-1 atory steps nnd recited his tale of woe. j The human interest element of his , story met with no response; his hearer was evidently thinking of more weighty practical matters. "An' there 1 was," moaned the little fellow In conclusion, "holdln' on to the last car fr dear life au' an' the train Just busted in the middle an' up an' , went." I The thick set man's frown evinced his sudden interest. Here was some- thing worthy his attention. This was j more important than interrupted honey- i moons something practical. J "Somebody call Barton nnd Mm-1 ning." he ordered in a flintlike voice. Two men In uniform appeared and fairly groveled before their irate chief. I "Say," he burst out "that's the sec- j ond time this week that you fellows have left a dead car on 13. What do you think we're running here a civi lized station or a guessing contest bey? I don't suppose the car was placarded, hey?" No answer except a confused mur mur and the scuffling of feet "Suppose you left the doors unlocked, too. hey?" The gangling car Inspector had a perfectly good thought It flashed forth, sending a look of almost human intelligence across his masklike coun tenance. He nudged Benjy. "Be back in a minute," ho whispered as he dived through the door. Benjamin Fronklin hnd an indistinct impression that he was overhearing two men getting theirs in no uncertain terms. But he had a decidedly more distinct impression of what he should say to Ma and Pa Bintorwortn when he returned to Bayfield alone. Pa was not so bad; he was a sort of weak sister himself. But Ma Butterworth! The tears coursed frankly down the bridegroom's round cheeks at the thought and drip ped dolefully ou his gala waistcoat. His grim reverie was interrupted by the reappearance of the gangling one, who thrust his head in at the door. "Found her!" he announced lacon ically. An amazing leap brought Mr. Todd to the threshold!" Two more landed him at tho foot of the stairs. By dint of the utmost effort he kept the flying overalls In sight, over tracks again and through vestibules. They came to a final stop beside the fatal car. "Seen her inside," vouchsafed the In spector and discreetly disappeared. Beujy flew up the stairs and paused. In the superexalted cerebration with which the next moment was fraught burst into refulgent being the reputa tion for impregnable strength that would be his forever so far as bis wife was concerned. He opened the door and entered the car Jauntily. There, among ber various belonglDgs, sat Pansy in the sharp radiance cast through the car window by an urc light outside. "Hello, Pansy!" he greeted ber eas ily. "You alt right?" "When is this train goln' to start?" she asked, a bit anxiously. "The train fr N'York? Oh. that's went," said Benjy in an offhand man ner. "You don't care such an awful lot about goin' there, do you?" "I don't much care where we are" she glanced at him coyly "so long as we're there together." "That's the way I figured it out." said Benjy, his chest swelling percepti bly. "You see, I sent a boy fr tue umbreller here 'tis an' he didn't come, an' I got nervous. When it got along about train time, course I knew that you'd come into the last car like I told you an' an' " . Benjy gSTe free rein to bis Imagination. "I told a railroad feller to uncouple It I didn't want you to have to change again. Be kinder kicked at first but I slipped him a a quarter." Pansy looked up, admiring, awe struck. "My, but you're smart Benjy f" aha murmured, adopting then and that her lifelong mental attitude.
