CANT GRANT FRANCHISES
EXECUTIVE POwERLEss IN THE
MATTER.
Thus sayeth the Attorney General in
Reply TO Request FOR Ruling-century
Telephone Company.

Applicants for franchises will in fu-
ture either have to bend the knee TO
the Legislature or go to Washington
for relief BY a ruling Of Attorney
General Dole this morning. the Terri
torial Government has not the authOri-
ty to grant franchises. He bases his
opinion upon provisions Of the Organic
Act which seem to throw about fran
chises the power Of the Legislature.
The matter came up in connection
with the application OF the Century
TeleDhOne Company for a franchise.
When the matter first reached the EX-
ecutive meeting there were expressions
of doubt as to the authority Of the
Treasurer 70 act. on that account the
Attorney General was appealed 10 for
a ruling. His opinion Is the one re-
ferred to above. 1t WAS a coincidence
that the application Of the KOna-Kau
Railway Company came up on the
same day with this opinion. This com
pany is the one promoted by ]. COerper
of Kona, and proposes to lay a railway
from Kailua, through Kau TO a point
near Punaluu. Action was deferred,
but the company will doubtless be re-
ferred to the Legislature for it's rights.

Whlstled rs They Died.
(To BE CoNTINUED.)

It was the fourth day after the late
General Lawton's force had left Ma
nila on its dash into Laguna. They
were approaching the town of Paete,
and squad of five of Weissenberger's
sharpshooters, men from the North
Dakota regiment, we're working their
way through the bamboo thicket. 1t
had been the boast of the North Dako-
tans that they had not as yet lost no
men in action.
Suddenly the squad received vol
ley of fifty shots from On insurgent
trench fifteen yards in front. Two
men were killed, one mortally wound
ed, one slightly wounded, and the
fifth unhurt. He was Slutland, big
and red-cheeked. He does not think
he did anything remarkable; but in
stead of running he dropped behind
rock, yelled for assistance and emptied
the chamber of his rife into the
enemy. He held his ground till as
sistance came, and then he joined in
the charge of our line, which emPtied
the trenches.

Three Chivalrous Young Men,

The age OF chivalry is not dead. A
small girl was coming down the steps
of the elevated railroad. She came
down III jumps, one step at time,
after the manner of small girls, and
she held au open bag of candy IN her
hand. Three young men, in the awe
some regalia OF correct young men on
their way to make party call, started
to ascend the stairs. The small girls
eyes opened wide and fixed them
selves OH the row of shining hats ap-
preaching. She continued to Jump,
one step at o time, missed her footing,
and just saved herself from falling by
grasping the handrail. But the can
dies hopped high in the air out OF
the paper-bag and few in chocolate
shower over the three e1quisites. For
an instant they stood amazed, staring
at the puckered-up face OF tho young
lady in short skirts. She was the
first to recover presence of mind lard
her equilibrium and at once set about
recovering her chocolates. The three
young men took the hint. And the
birds in the square near by twittered
with mirth to see three frock-coated,
gloved, high hated irreproachables
stopping and peering and humping
against each other as they gathered

CHAPTER xxx.
AT LAST.

AT LAST.
Burns, when he caught sight OF
Pierre Rameau making his way through
the woods into the swamp, rushed
after him with the energy of one who
feels that the squirt of strength vouch-
safed to him is to be short and final.
The old man knew that to fail now
meant to fail forever. The terrible
excitement, exposure and effort of the
past fortnight had drained the cup Of
his vitality almost to the bottom. The
fire Of monomaniacal frenzy had
burned so fercely in his breast of
late that his eyes showed the effect by
a wild, steadfast, strained stare, not
unlike that of dead man. When he
shamblel past Pauline at the edge of
the swamp, he did not see her, 80 in
tently was his gaze set upon the re-
treating figure of the victim he longed
for.
Kirk Mac Colloughr' he called, and
the name rasped the woods like file.
"Kirk MacCollough, I am coming!"
At the sound of the voice the dark
man halted and turned about.
"You had better come no farther!"
he coolly said. "Stop right here!'
Burns slackened his pace, but came
steadily Upon him, fumbling mean
time for the knife in his bosom, his
drawn feature set and rigid.
Rameau retreated, walking slowly
backward, fixing his tiger-like eyes
steadily on the old mans face.
Pauline ran bnck to the house as
soon as Rameau left her; so she did
not hear the voices of the two men,
although they rang with strange dis
tinctness through the moss-hung aisles
of the forest.
"Max Burns" growled the outlaw,
with certain harsh accentuation, II
do not wish to injure you. Keep
off,
"Ha! Ha! Iniure mel You can
not; am beyond that. Injury is al
ready hardened upon me like o mail.
Death itself cannot find loose Joint"
He was speaking with the preachers
intonstion and his words had sug-
gestion of the pulpit. Though you
be Satan himself, I will prevail over
you! Yea, now is your time come to
die!"

toward the gate, then sank down, oil
doubled together, and lay still.
Pierre Rameau stood gazing at the
crumpled body for a moment, and
when, presently, he lifted his calm,
almost stolid eyes, he saw a tall form
coming through the gate.
It was Burns. The old man saw
him, and quickenkd his pace almost
to q run.
Rameau turned about and passed
through the house without a word.
Going out, he crossed what had been
vegetable garden, kicked some pal
ings from q fence, went through and
was soon in the depth of the wood.
He was feeling the effect of his
wounds. Not only were both his arms
badly hurt, but gun shot rent in his
breast, though it bled little, was
weakening him rapidly.
Pauline saw him going away and
ran after him, entreating him to return
and have his hurts cared for. Some
thing in his face had told her that he
was desperate, hopeless, and she felt
a great swell of pity for him rising in
her heart.
She had not noticed the full of Vas
seur or the approach of Burns. Just
within the gloom of the moss.hung
forest she overlook Ramean and
sprang lightly before him.
He stood still and looked at her. A
smile stole into his face; he tried to
lift hand; but could only twitch q
shoulder. She was flushed and pant
ing, her lips apart, her bright hair
disheveIed. Her appearance seemed
to touch him with some deep emo
ton.
"My sweet sister," he murmured,
then as if shaking off IN illusion, he
sprang past her while she was pouring
forth entreaties, and fairly ran away
from her into the gloomy swamp
wood.
Pauline stood, like one in dream,
with the words, "my sweet sister,
ringing strangely as if from distance
to distance through her soul.
She saw, without fairly realizing it.,
the tall, gaunt form Of Burns go by
with long, halt-feeble, half-7igorous
strides.

The soft chinchilla collarette was
thrown back and the huge muff was
carried in one hand. The jacket was
worn open to allow the white lace
waistcoat to be seen. This is full

in the following manner: Four chains
of pinkest corals strung on gold wire
meet on the breast behind a large coral
dish, which was really clasp, or pair
of clasps. The chains ran up and
down to right and left. connecting the
upper and lower edges of the jacket
fronts with each other and with the
clasp. This is very beautiful.
