CHAPTER XIII.—Continued.
Here, as they warm themselves be-
fore the fire, Tomasso remarks: "I
have little to offer you, dear mistress,
but some dried sheep's flesh."
"Pish! hunger is nothing. You
are alive, dear old Tomasso," re-
peats the girl, as he again
mumbles her hand. Still the

"He has the gold! After him!" cries
Rochinl.
"We ll knife him In a minute!" yells
Romano, and the two, cocking their
guns, fly after the dastard American.
But as they reach the door, the mo-
ment their athletic forms are outlined
by the blaze of the fire, two quick,
sharp pistol reports come from the
outside, and Rochini and Romano, 1
with'ut even a cry, fall to the earth,
inert and dead.
The smoke of Barnes' revolvers is-
sues from them as he quietly re-enters
an.l say- apologetically: "I knew I
wouldn't have time to grab my guns
and shoot before they'd knife me, so I
imitated the trick of Jerry, the Den
ver barkeeper, and ran away till 1
could get my weapons ready."
A moment later he says: "Come!"
and taking Marina carefully in his
arms, whispers: "Turn your face from
them," and steps over the dead men

picking wild strawberries were talk
ing that the day after to-morrow the
people vote. They have a meeting this
evening in Hocognano. I listened from
behind a rock and heard them."
But Barnes is not so easy about his
captured bride; he steps out of the
cabin and finds the wind has died
away, the mist has cleared with the
rapidity usual to mountain storms.
Ho steps in and says anxiously to
Marina: "The evening is very clear.

Behind him, Tomasso, following, car
rying the American's rifle, is saying:
"Oh, von will lie worshiped in this
commune for this. So many poor men
have been butchered, so many poor
women have been carried away to the
mountains by these dead devils."
But the reports have drawn others
to the spot. As Barnes steps over the
dead men lying in the entrance of the
cabin, he suddenly says: "By heaven,
here are more of them!" puts Marina
down and would draw his revolvers
were he not seized by three athletic
young fellows who rise silent!;.- from
the shadows about them.
A clear, commanding voice remarks:
"No more of Hochlni and his fellows.
You have saved us the trouble of their ;
killing. We are the Bellacoscia. Yom ,
pistols, stranger, have relieved us el
the < xecution < t' these ruffians we were
pursuing, who have brought discredit

Anil Tomasso is crying, "Antonio
Bonelli," to a ma:i of noble bearing,
who, carbine in hand, comes into the
cabin followed by eight stalwart young
men. all armed as he Is.
But the young men fear the super-
natural and stand back, their eyes
gleaming, and one shudders: "'Tis

Uelloc's troopers two weeks ago." Foi

! leader laughs at them: "'Tis flesh

And old Tomasso says: "You know

biding behind a rock in the gloom of
the morning?"
But the flashing eyed man orders:
'Stand back, while I question this
stranger who has done Docognano a
service to-night."
Marina has risen, murmuring: "An-

Soon after, as they eat, Barnes re-
marks: "This is a mighty curious co-
incidence. Do you know, eld Tomasso,
that Saliceti, the young politician
here, the one who is to marry your
daughter, Ktherla, has sworn a ven-
detta against me for putting the troops
on your track and getting you shot to

"A vendetta against you? Well, it
■was his duty, seeing ho Is to marry my
daughter, had your soldiers killed me,"
returns the old Corslcan, in his simple
way

denly Tomasso stops. There is a rat
tie In his throat that causes Barnes ti
look hurriedly up. Marina has retreat
ed to the corner of the cabin and Mon
aldi's eyes are full of horror.
Just across the lire from him stand
two dark mountaineers. Rough, un
dressed sheepskins cover their brawny
shoulders: lr.ng guns are in theii
hands arid stilettcs in their belts. On'

"Those awful monsters," shudders
Marina.
"What makes you think that, Mon-
aldi?" asks Barnes, surprise upon his
face.
"Well, this Rochini, and his mate,
have been run out of Rotondo, the
farmers there having got tired of their
sheep disappearing too rapidly, and
have come over to this mountain. To-
day these two approached me some
four hours ago and said: 'Brother

senger has been sent ahead and we
are going down to help Saliceti make
votes for himself by killing the Amer-
icano ddwn in the vale toward Uu-

"Humit then yop-did not accept," re-

"I am not quite bandit enough to

"Ah, you are Rochini and Romano, 1

says Barnes quietly.
"Aye, that we are. And who is this
woman of the beautiful eye3? Hand

Divide your spoils with us and we wil
save you the trouble of cutting the
man's throat," Jeers the slighter mis
creant.
"As for the woman, the fire tells me

"The old country sclioolhouse of not
sa long ago will soon be a relic of the
! ast," said James Tighe of Altoona,
Pa., according to the Washington Post.
"Although one traveling through the
country sees many of these old fash-
ioned structures, he does not realize
that they are rapidly being deserted
and that a consolidated schoolhouse
will be met with farther up the r.oad.
These new buildings are graded, and
many have several high school
courses, so that one teacher now
leaches only one class, whereas In
the old days the pedagogue taught
everything from the alphabet to Latin.
Of course, the consolidated school-
house is not so convenient to all the
children, as they have to go a greater
distance, but all of them ride to school
nowadays. The consolidated school
is much cheaper to the community,
and what the farmer saves in taxes he
putB in sleighs and wagons, so that
his children may ride. Pupils can
also remain at their home school
much longer than they formerly
could, and this also Is a great saving.
We may expect great results from
this change, for the farmers with their
poor schools have turned out some
wonderful men, and they should do
even better under the new condi-
tions.
Recommends Immediate Action On
Oil Pipe Lines—Territorial Law
Furnishing Statutes to Couunties
Characterized as Graft
Gi'TIIllIK: in a special message
submitted Monday to the legislature,
Governor Haskell commends the law-
makers for their progress and urges
them to expedite other business re-
maining on the calendar.
II prefaces his recommendations
for laws by the statement that the
work of the assembly has elicited
his sincere appreciation. He scores
the partisan attacks that have been
directed toward the legislature and
predicts universal public recognition
of the meritorious legislation enacted.
The message culls attention to the
"foolish expense" incorporated in the
present habeas corpus laws, that of
paying sheriff's fees in certain cases.
The governor recommend, the repeal
of the law.
The laws Inherited from the terri-
tory of Oklahoma regarding taxation
are unjust, the message states, and
should be repealed. Education is
touched upon with especial reference
to the schools in rural communities.
Bond issues are recommended and the
addition of branches of agriculture
and horticulture.
1 * rging the adoption of a law pro-
tecting game the governor suggests
that it be "not so stringent as to In-
terfere with the just rights of the
public."
On the matter of eminent domain
the message emphasizes the import-
ance of oil pipe lines, referring to
them as "immediate necessities," and
urg. s the adoption of laws on the sub-
ject without hindrance.
The territorial law providing for
furnishing Tift sets of sine.- statutes io
counties at an averag ■ cost of ? 1.000
a county, is characterized as being a
"pure graft.'' Its repeal is urged.
Il.'1'orring to public institutions, the
qn- : ion that just now is all absorh-
i;e;. the message recommends the es
lablishment ' f institutions for the in-
sane. deaf, dumb and blind. A par-
don board is asked.
The law concerning official deputies
should be amended to provide that
only in eases where officials are over-
worked should they be allowed assist-
ants.
Careful consideration of the bill
relating to probate deputies is urged.
Public funds should not he deposit-
ed through favoritism and a law cov-
ering that subject is endorsed. A stat-
ute requiring district clerks to sub-
mit to the clerk of the state supreme
court a document showing the coudi-
ti, n of the docket and providing an
appropriation of $2,i>00 for traveling
expenses of district judges outside
their own districts is recommended.
The corporation fee of $10, required
by the territorial law "may not have
been intended as a joke," says the
message, but that is its effect. A law
I roviding that corporation fees shall
he regulated by the capitalization is
asked.
The governor recommends the Rai-
ney bill providing for a court of crim-
inal appeals, reminds the legislature
that a bill relating to the election of
a supreme court justice will soon be
needed, recommends tnat the special
federal census of 1907 be made the
official state census, allowing a re-
enumeration where counties are dis-
satisfied; asks detailed legislation on
the question of impeaoninent and re-
moval from office; recommends an al-
teration in the law relating to the
displacement of judges, and asks gen-
erally for legislation on the following
subjects: Forcible entry and detain-
er, appeals from justice courts, prose-
cutions on information, initiative and
referendum, election laws, .miry
laws, convict labor on public high
ways, improvement bonds, sale of
school lands, presidential electors,
compilation of laws and nepotism.

An eminent Spanish scientist lias

REFUSE TO VACATE
MUSKOGEE: The newly elected
officials of Muskogee will have to get
mandamus orders from the courts in
order to make the old city officers
give up their jobs. Attorneys have
been employed to go to Guthrie and
soy ir the attorney general would not
give an opinion that the recent elec-
tion in Muskogee was illegal. Chas.
Klmsey, chief of police; W. J. Sul-
livan. city attorney, and Councilmen
Kllck and Prall announce that they
will not turn over their offices until
they are forced to do so.
These men take the position that
Muskogee was made a city of the
first class by proclamation of the gov-
ernor and therefore being in office at
that time they are entitled to hold
over until the next regular election
In 1909; that if Muskogee was not
made a city of the first class, then all
contracts made by the city und all
ordinances passed Blnce the proclama-
tion are void.
An effort will be made to carry the
matter direct to the supreme court
In order that a settlement may be se-
cured at once, as the condition
brought on by the suits will tie the
hands of all the city olfldau aim
practically no business can be done.
