CHAPTER VII.
Z Enforce Authority.

Scarcely had we taken this new
course when the sun. now well above
the horizon, a red ball of fire, burst
through a rift in tho clouds, and the
waters in our wake became a trail of
crimson. The encirciing mist seemed
rent asunder by some invisible power,
whirling away like wreaths CT smoke
blown by the wind, and yielding US
broad view to where sky and ocean
met. Our strainlng eyes caught no
where signal of life or hope, no CLEAN
of distant soil, no black shadow of
smoke. We were alone in the drear
waste of water, with not even a speed
ing seagull to break the dull vista of
warning sea and sky.
/ forced myself to turn away from
the grim fascination, back to the boat
in which we fioated. Mccain had sunk
down abaft the jury mast, and rested
there hanging over the side. staring
moodily down into the green water.
His heavy face exhibited no interest
and looked almost brutal in the garish
light. Lord, how the appearance Of

enough remained sweet and wholesome
to give me hope of their sustaining US

passing vessel. The water jug, how

the strands OF the rope slipped through
his fingers. and an instant later he
clambered into the bow Of the boat,
and sank onto his knees in the water.

shipped proving scarcely ankle deep.

RACING AFTER THE GHOST
OF INTANGIBLE RICHES

Editor Star: One of the feathers
the tax commission placed in its cap
was the affair in st. Johns county in
the matter of the Flagler estate, or
the sport of chasing the phantom of
intangible riches. The tax assessor of
that county refused to answer a lei.
ter or give any information, but it
was obtained from other sources.
With the assistance of some patriots
in that county, according to the re-
port of the commission, it was found
that said estate was paying taxes on
personal property of only $4,000,
but under its influence the assessor
and board of county commissioners
agreed to raise the assessment to six
teen million dollars, but afterward the
board, wickedly and without the con-
sent of the tax commission, reduced
the assessment to the mere pittance
of five million, or matter of five
hundred and sixty odd thousand dol
lars more than all the other assessed
property of st. Johns county for that
year, but the commission was power
less to prevent this outrage. (The
report of the commission is largely
made up of butts and ifs). While the
commission was greatly and justly
peeved, it claimed seven this small
victory is worth consideration" at
