THREE GIRLS IN A BOAT.
Not to Mention the Fish, Which Cap

piled the Supper.

Lafayette, Ind, Aug. 8. = Three
girls in a frail canoe struggling with
a f1ve-pound bass, which jumped into
their boat from the deep water Of the
Wabash river, supplied a scene here
that will not soon be forgotten, either
by those directly involved or those
who witnessed it. Misses Hazel

We're padding a canoe in the river
when suddenly there was a popping
noise beside their boat and a large,
dark object rose high in the air and
landed among them on the floor of
the little craft.
They were greatly frightened, and
for a moment did not know what the
struggling object was. 1t lay still a
moment and they saw 1t was a large
black bass. One of the girls tried to
hold the fish down, but the creature
struggled gamely and the girls in their
extraordinarily overturned the canoe.
Finally by their combined efforts they
subdued the fish and started on their
trip again. They reached Burroughs
island in time for supper, and the
obliging fish was cooked and eaten.

ably, becoming more broken, the view
circumscribed by towering cliffs and
deep ravines.
Late in the afternoon he refined up
his horse and gazed forward into a
broad valley, bounded with precipi-
tous bluffs The trail led directly
down toward where a considerable
stream of water shone silvery in the
sun. half concealed behind fringe OF
willows. And yonder, close in against
these distant willows, some black dots
were moving. Hampton glued his
anxious eyes TO the glass. The leveled
tubes clearly revealed a man on horse
back, leading another horse. The ami
mails were walking. There could be
little doubt that this was Silent Muir
ply.
Hampton lariated his tired horses
behind the bluff and returned TO the
summit, lying fiat upon the ground.
with the field glass at his eyes. The
distant figures passed slowly forward
into the midst of the willows, and for
half an hour the patient watcher
scanned the surface of the stream be-
yond, but there was no sign OF at
tempted passage. The sun sank lower
and finally disappeared behind those
desolate ridges to the westward
Hampton's knowledge of plainscraft
rendered Murphy's actions sufficiently
clear. This was the Fourche; beyond
those waters lay tne terrible peril Of
Indian raiders Further advance must
be made by swift, secret night riding,
and never-ceasing vigilance This was
what Murphy had been saving himself
and his horses for. Beyond conjec-
ture. he was resting now within the
shadows of those willows, studying
the opposite shore and making ready
for the dash northward. Hampton be
lieved he would linger thus for some
time after dark, to see II Indian fires
would afford any guidance. Confident
of this, he passed back to his horses
rubbed them down with grass, and
then ate his lonely supper, not ventur-
ing to light a fire, certain that Muir
PHYS eyes were scanning every inch
of skyline.
Darkness came rapidly, while Hamp
ton sat planning again the details oil
his nights work. then, with the two
animals trailing cautiously behind, he
felt his slow way on foot down The
steep bluff, into the denser blackness

CHAPTER XVIII.
Tho haunting Of a Crime.

Murphy rested on his back in the
midst Of a thicket of willows, wide
awake. yet not quite ready to ford the
Fourche and plunge into the dense
shadows shrouding the northern shore.
Crouched behind log, he had so far
yielded unto temptation as to light his
pipe.
Murphy had been amid just such
unpleasant environments many times
before, and the experience had grown
somewhat prosaic. Even Indian-scout-
ing degenerates into a commonplace
at last. So Murphy pulled contentedly
at his old pipe.
But suddenly there was the faint
crackle of a branch to his left, and
one hand instantly closed over his pipe
bowl, the other grasping the heavy re-
volver at his hip. There came a plain,
undisguised rustling in the grass

his tense muscles Immediately re-
laxed and he cursed himself for being

INDIANA STATE NEWS

Indianapolis, Aug. 3.-Judge Charles
T. Hanna. OF the Marion county SUI
perior court. has issued an order re-
straining the city Of Indianapolis from
arresting the employees Of the Standard
Oil company for failure TO comply with
a city ordinance. The hearing for
permanent injunction was set for Aug.
d The oil company refuses to pay a
fee Of cents a gallon for inspection
OF each of the 10000 cans in which it
delivers oil. and the inspector Of
weights and measures was making ar
engagements TO arrest all employees Of
the Standard company who used cans
without the official seal of inspection
upon them. The Standard officials de-
clared the fee was oppressive.
More Expensive, More Cost.
The Standard refused absolutely, to
pay the inspection fee, and. according
to Wulfson. an officer OF the company
said that II the company had to pay
the tax the price of oil and gasoline
would be raised and the people would
have to bear the burden. To save the
public from this Wulfson and the city
officials offered a compromise PROPOSE
ton. for the reason that the company
used daily nearly 10000 cans. and that
the fee of cents a can would be too
burdensome on the company. The
terms were that Wulfson and his dep,
uties would make an exception in the
case of the Standard Oil company and
inspect the cans at rate OF l cent n
can. The attorneys representing the
company seemed pleased with the
proDoSition

With one quick, impulsive motion
he pressed her to him, passionately
lashes, unable longer to conceal the
tremor that shook his own voice.
Never, never doubt it, lassie. 1t will
not take me long, and if l live I come
straight back"
He watched her slender, white
robed figure as it passed slowly down
the deserted street. Once only she
paused and waved back to him and he
returned instant response, although
| scarcely realizing the act.

ought to have told her the whole in

Instead the officials, through the at

would not accept the proposition. How
ever they offered Wulfson $125 for do
ing the work. Wulfson then had n
conference with Mayor Bookwalter and
Corporation Counsel Matson and the
compromise proposition was with
drawn. Wulfson said the company

have its drivers subjected to arrest

So convinced is the management of
thbi Brunswick Steamship Company
that the commerce between the port
of Brunswick and that OF Havana
can be enlarged to enormous proper
,ions; that it has been dtcided to
1lace new steamer on the run di-
ect from Brunswick to Havana and

ss can be made between the two ports.
Since tne advertisement Of es.

steamers to leave New York. calling
at Brunswick en- route to Havana.
the traffic department of the com
pany has learned that there is an
immense traffic. both freight and pass
enger, in this section of the country
desiring a direct line from the port
Of Brunwick to Havana. and following
its usual custom the company is go
ing to put the additional snip on the
Havana line just as soon as it can be
purcsased.
Both Preidont Atkinson and Man

terday and it was given out that the
Brunswick-Hayana line would be es-
tablished as soon as possible.
Of course this is another advantage
for Brunswick, as large amount Of
freight now seeking Cuban shores via
steamers leaving Port Tampa, Mobile
and other Gulf ports, will be diverted
to Brunswick, which will enjoy prob.
ably a lower freight rate than OBJ.
