The story OF E|0IindQ
CHAPTER II.

CHAPTER II.
But before starting, she opened the
shutter crack and looked out; and
there she.saw two Indians coming tow
ards the door. She flung down her
bundle, snatched the children's away
from them, hung the warkbag round
Nathanieps neck. whispering to him:
Run, run! you'll have time; I'll keep
them out till you get away!" all the
while pulling at the clothes chest.
He heard the Indians yell, and saw
FIorinda brace, herself against the
door with her feet on the chest.
Run, run!" she kept saying. Take
care Of little Polly! don't let go Of lit
tie Po1fy!"
Nathaniel ran with little Polly: and
on the way they met the young man,
David Palmer, creeping along with his
gun He had heard the news and had
come to ten Florinda to hurry away.
Just at that moment he heard the yell
Of the Indians and the sound of their
clubs beating in the door.
He threw the gun down and went
on just as fast as man could in such
q condition, and presently saw two
Indians start from the house and run
into the woods. He listened a
moment and heard dogs barking; then
he crept round the corner of the
house. The door had been cut away.
Florinda lay across the chest. dead
as he thought; and indeed she was al
most gone. They had beaten her on
the head with Ratchet or club One
blow more, and F1orinda would never
have breated again.
David Palmer did everything he
could to make her show signs of life
He was SO intent upon this that he
paid no attention to the barking Of the
dogs and did not notice that it was
growing louder and coming nearer
every moment.
Happening to glance toward the
door, he saw a man on horseback rid
Ing very slowly toward the house, lead
Ing another horse with his right hand
and with his left drawing something
heavy on Sled The man on horse
back was Mr.. Moore. He was leading
Mr.. Bowen's horse with his right hand
Ind with the other he was dragging
Mr. Bowen on Philips hand sled.
Coming home from Dermott's Cross
ng, Mr.. Bowen was taken sick ant
had to travel at very slow pace
When they had almost reached home
they found Philips sled among thu
bushes.
Philip himself had left the slet
there. The day he went to the Point
he had to wait for corn to be ground
which made him late in starting home
He heard a good many reports cor
cerning the Indians, and thought that
.-.stead of keeping in his own tracks
it would be safer to take roundabou
course back.
BY doing this, he lost his way an
wandered in the woods till almost l
o'clock at night, when he came out O

The Territorial Senate passed an
enabling" act for the Supervisors
on second reading Yesterday, but not
in the form that sic measure was re-
ecived from the House of Representa-
tives. The amended FIRST section, as
contained in the minority report of the
judiciary Committee. signed by Sena
Tor Makekau. was adopted in its en-
tirety by the Senate. in addition to
an amendment offered by Senator Co
elho. Coelho's amendment provided
for the addition to Section ] of the
following stipulation;
"And all warrants heretofore is
sued by the Auditor to persons who
had actually been employed by said
board are hereby confirmed, validated,
lecalized and approved ais if said war.
rants were issued after the taking eff
feet of this act"
As it was received from the House
of Representatives. the measure, de-
signed with the intention of allowing
the Supervisors to pay their ap-
pointees, completely ignored the exist
ence of the Mayor and his appointees,
but in the amendment that was offer
ed by Senator Makekau in his dissent
ing report, the Mayor is duly recog'
nized and clothed with authority as
the chief executive of the city gov
ernment.
As adopted by the House of Repre-
sentatives, the measure provided for
the payment of salaries due on the
period between January 4 and March
Is to "persons employed by said city
and county through said Board of SUI
pervisors or employed by any commit
tee or agent of said board. As
amended yesterday by the Senate the
bill. after dealing with the Supervis-
ors. adds cor by the Mayor of said
city and county or by any persons au-
thorized by him to make such ap-
pointment.
Mayor Fern was an interested spec
tator of the proceedings in the Senate
yesterday afternoon during discussion
of the measure. He occupied a chair
beside that of President w. o. Smith.
While the amendment as adopted
yesterday appears to be decided con
eession to the Mayor, his supporters
in the squabble occasoned by the mu-
nicipal infant declare that the profit
he will derive therefrom is more APP
parent than real since the recent deci-
sion of the Supreme Court is inter
preted to legalize the majority of the
Mayors appointments, while the Su
pervisors have found themselves in ar
altogether different situation. Nor, il
is claimed is the total amount re
quired to pay the Mayor IS appointee'
very large-nothing in comparison
with the amount required to pay the
Supervisors appointees.

solution for the problem of Terrific

impose tax of two cents per share
on each share of stock transferred. Al
it stands, the measure presents the in
teresting financial question that woul'
accompany the payment of tax o
two cents on the transfer of shar

schemes with fraction of a dollar n

viding for tax of ten cents an aer
