Ttmnith Tim f the Roritra Dropped llenil. "Dlil uny of you ovrr hrnr of n 33 tulle ntci'iili'clinsi- for innii mnl benat?" Inquired one of Hip rnllfnrnln men In a party of mrf follower wlu-n atorle of qutfr beta nml long RliotK were go lug arouutl. 'Well, there was au af fnlr of tlmt kind tlou'ii lu the llnuul Ian bunch lu the full of IHS3. when that Renin I chile rouenrne proposition. Kftliiknun, was king of the iHlntulit. There were no telephones Joining the Islands then, and state iiieKstiBo and mnudatpn were parried by the Inter Inland atenmere aud delivered by Ka naka muiier. These runner eould gallop all day, like American Indian In retreat or on the trull, ami they didn't know what getting winded or tired meant. "Kalakaua thought a good deal of these runners of his. lie always main tained that they eould go faster ami farther than horses over the rough Hawaiian country. In this he was dis puted by a number of the white at taches of bla court. Kalakaua wager ed $3,0(10 In gobs of f 1,000 With live of them that he would pick out a runner from among his Kanakas who'd get from illlo to the top of the burning lake of Kllnuea. a distance of 33 miles, quicker thau any horse aud any rider could do the trip. They suapned the king up at even money. It looked as If they had the good end of It. The king and a big party from Honolulu sailed lu one of the lutoi-lsland steam ers to llllo, on the main Island of Ha waii, to sec the finish. "The king picked out a huge, lithe, sinewy Kanaka, a man about :) years old, who had been employed as a run ner on the Island of Maul for a num ber of years, to try the trick for him. Eight Kanakas made the start a-borseback. on native ponies, bred away back from western cayuses strong, sure footed, nippy tempered lit tle demons, thoroughly used to the bad roads and the climbing. The king n::d bis party had gone up to the Voleano House, at the top of Kllaueu, in conch es the dn before to be ou hand to greet the winner. "Now, I understand that that road from Illlo up to the burning lake of Kllauea has been Improved since the time I'm speaking of, but It surely was a bad trail then. It was only wide enough for one wagon, and It was about a 45 degree affair lu the climb all the way up. The palms that lined the road used to get blown across the trail by the score In big windstorms, and the coach drivers counted it u part of their business to Jump from their seats every time they came to these obstructions and shoulder them out of the way. ,Hils work had all been attended to carefully, however, lu ad vance of the race by order of Kala kaua, and It loked like a pipe for the cayuses, all of which bad made the run up mnuy a time. "Kalakaua didn't ask for any handi cap allowance for his man. The run ner toed the scratch with the horses, and they got off together at the crack "of the gun. The horses distanced the runner from the Jump, aud be let them distance him. He was dressed In a G string, and he Just took up a steady l$pe and let the cayuses get out of his sight. For ten miles the cayuses were so far above him on the trail that be couldn't even see them, but this Kana ka knew how to wait The horses be gan to come back to the runner long before the Half Way House was reach ed, and the Kanaka was Just galloping along at the beginning of the third hour with the same big stride he had started In with, bla arms up and shoot ing out In front of him like soldiers on the double time drill. There wasn't a pant In him when be fetched up at the Half Way House. He stooped down there to a spring beside the road and took a couple mouthfuls of water. The cayuses were up ahead a bit, blowing their beads off, for they bad been go ing at a clip that they had never been pushed to before. "The Kanaka headed the bunch a mile beyond the Half Way House, and it was a big romp for him the rest of the distance. He took a position for the remaining 17 miles of the Journey about a city block ahead of the writh ing and panting horses, and he Just stuck to bis lope like a man wound up. He never let 'em get nearer than a hours of the trip, looking back at them with a grin once In awhile. When only three miles yet remained before tbo Volcano House was to be reached, the Kanaka took another drink out of a spring and began to. draw away. The Kanaka riders whipped and spurred their horses, but It was no good. The Kanaka runner disappeared out of their sight on the tortuous trail, and when six of the cayuses pulled up at the hotel veranda about three-quarters of an hour Inter the runner was sitting on the steps, fanning himself and drinking saki. Two of the horses had dropped dead In their final effort "The Kaunka made the 33 mile trip over sticks aud stones on a miry road In G hours and 40 minutes, and he look ed fit to run for his life when be got through. When 1 was reading about the young fellows who did the long distance running In tliouo Olympian games In Greece some years ago, It struck me that 'any one of Dave Ivala tauu's runners could have made the whole bunch look like aluminium dol lars."
