" day’s experience confirms us in the
opinion that Executive power and patronage,
prescribed within very narrow bounda
lies; because nothing is more directly adverse to
the.great democratic principle, which lies at tire
foundation of our republican institutions,than the
concentration in a single hand, ot the right ol ap
pointment to offices ol honor and emolument.
Such power has been accumulating in the Ex
ecutive branch of our Stale Government, for sev
eral year# pa*t, and calls aloud tor reformation.
“Undcrexistrng regulations, the Directors of
the Central Dank, and the olhcers ol the Peniten
tiary, receive their appointments directly from the
Governor. They are both Slate Institutions, in
which the people at large are alone interested,
and their management and supervision should be
exclusively in the hands ot the people ■ repre
sentatives.
“We have seen enough already to satisfy us,
that a change is demanded by the public voice,
and the sooner it is ctlccicd itic belter; and we
are convinced that tbe election ol those ollicers by
the*Legislature, would be approbated by a very
large majority ol the people, kiuch a course will
not only bo more democratic, but it will place the
*. rtspomdl'iliiy where It should property rest, li
wilt being the subject nearer 10 die constituent
body t .and enable them through their representa
tives to exercise a controlling influence over iliose
appointments.
“In every aspect of the subject, wo feel assured
a change would work lor good, and
redound to the best interests ot die country.
Mw, therefore, is the accepted time , and we
trust the present Legislature will take hold of
the mailer in good earnest. [!! ]
It will bo, moreover, taking a heavy respon
sibility bfl lhe Governor’s shoulders, and in many
(’llvnstarices relievo him trom much censure, whe
ther well, or ill founded.”
We extract the above from the Standard of Union
which paper is more generally known by the ve
ry imposing cognomen ot the “Rook. ’ It is not
a little amusing to see to what an astonishing
degice the author's intellect has been brightened
by the result of our late election. The author ol
this Book, though always accorded a man ot un
common sagacity,did not until very recently disco
ver to what an alarming extent the executive pa-
I tronage of our State government had accumulated,
nor is it probable that lie would have given us a
chapter on that subject, even now, had iiut the
people recently placed a man i.ot exactly ot his
tebool in tlu- executive chair.
“ SUch power,” says the author, “ has been
accumulating, in the executive branch of our
State government, fur several years past, and calls
aloud for relonnalion.” Wonld not this proclama
tion have sounded still more disinterested and pa_
triotic, had it been made previous to the recent
change in that “executive branch ?” The ap
pointing power is not more “adverse to the great
democratic piinciple” at this time than it was two
years ago—hut to have made the discovery at
that time fwould have been very adverse to those
printiplcs.
“Tinderexisting circumstances, the Directors
of the Central Bank, and the olficcrs of the Pen
itentiary receive their appointments directly from
the executive.” Motistrou'!—Now, when such
men a* Col. Bishop were appointed to places in
the Central Bank, for whom,if all be true, a place
in the last named institution had been much
more approptiilc,there was nothing so very fla
grant in the appointing power.
* That the author of the Book, “has scon enough
already to adatisfy him that a change is demanded
by the public voice” is very probably true —and
we hope a change is about taking place in the
administration of the executive branch of our
slate government such as will give general satis,
faction to thfc people.
We would say to the author, content thyself
Thomar; and make the best of mailers as they
are. The .legislative branch of the Government
have power enough yet, and “ great democratic
principle ” enough to ase it to the nest advantage,
You still have a place at the public crib, and llie
Union representatives of the people, have not
been so unmindful of the “great democratic prin
ciple which lies at tbe foundation of” your
parly, aato forget the faithful in the distribution
of office.
But the author is not the only great discavcrcrof
the age. Mr. Ouicu has also made some astound
ing discoveries. lie has discovered, all at once,
thatlhirSoulh is in imineut danger!! That the
Southern Whigs ss lie calls the Stale Rights par
ty, arc,or ought to he, penitent for what they have

MILLEDUEVILLE. 24th Nov., 1337.
During my absence, tor several days past, from
Ibis place scierul matters of importance have
transpired, .if the must of which I presume you
have been informed through tire pape s of this
place. The resolution appropriating $30,000 for
the troops under Col. Nelson, having passed both
Houses has been vetoed by Gov. Gilmer. I send
you herewith a copy of that document.
Wilson Lumpkin has been elected Senator to
Congress from this state to fill Mr. King’s vacan
cy. Mr. Cuthbert has resigned his seal in the
Senate, and it will probably bo communicated by
the Governor to the Legislature to day or to mor
row. It is said that Gov. Schh y, Mr. Spa ding’
and Gen. Watson are each pressing their claims
upon the parly for the appointment.
Yesterday, the bill to authorize limited partner
ships, a copy of which I sent you sometime since,
passed the Senate by a majority of seven votes.
Tills morning a motion was made to reconsider
It, which was rejected by a vole of 27 to 49. Mr.
Mil cr made a short but very appropriate ai d
excellent speech against the motion and in favor
of the hill. This gentleman is justly looked up
on here as decidedly the most business man in
the Senate. The rights of the people of Rich
mond could not be placed in safer hands.
Executive Di.paiitmest, 5
Milledgeville, 21st November, 1837. y
I return to tbe House of Represi nlatives the
resolutions which originated m that body, passed
both Houses, and were presented to me on the
3Ut inst., upon tbe subject of an appropriation
of money for the use of the large body of mount
ed men, slated to be now on their march to Flo
rida, with my reasons for disapproving them.
From the account already laid before the bouse,
it is evident that the men for whose benefit the
appropriation in the resolution is intended to be
made, have teen raised without the aut imily ol
this State, or tbe United States; that the requisi
tion which had been made upon Georgia lor vol
unteers reserve in the Florida campaign, had been
previously withdrawn; and that Gen. Nelson, by
whom they have been raised, had no orders, and
held no commission from either Government jus
tifying such a measure. I cannot therefore p»r
ceive how the public money can, with propriety,
be applied to their use. They can only be consi
dered as so many individuals directing themselves
according to their own wishes to whatsoever
couise or purpose they may please: that although
they allege that they are on their way to Florida,
they are under no obligation to seive against the
Semin.des; and that if they should receive :he
money and use it, they would still be at liberty
to go to Florida or not.
If they should go to Florida, the proi abil ty is,
ilia' Huy would not be received into the public
service. The Secretary of War and Gen. Jesup,
who have been directing the operations lor car
rying on the campaign in Florida, and know best
the materials they want, and what force can be
maintained, show by Iheir letters, that ii will be
difficult to support mounted men there; that even
when they required twelve hundred volunteers
from this stale, lew, if any, mounted men, were
desired by them. The unexpected accession ol
tins large lime under Gen. Neison, consisting pro
bably of fourteen or fifteen bundled mounted
men, and mar seventeen hundred horse-', must
necessarily embarrass, instead of advancing lire
objects of the campaign Toe expenses of lire
Seminole war have been so great for what i as
been effected, that lire officers directing it must
be very unwil ing to incur the additional cost
which tire acceptance of litis force must incur,
especially as it is not the kind wanted for the ser
vice. If they should not be received, they may
sustain losses, and undergo suffering in making
their war home through a country already scarce
in provisions, and which must necessarily he ren
dered greatly more so by their march to Florid a,
which it would ho difficult to depict. I do not
therefore think the Legislature ought to do any
thing to aid then) in continuing their inarch.
The part of lire country through which those
men must pass, whether addopled into service or
not, must have its quiet and lights of property
i I constantly disturbed by their necessities. The
very assembling together of so many men with
out dis. tp lire, and marching through lire conn
-1 try without of law, the orjetsoflho Stale nr Gen
eral Government, or being under the Command
; ol officer* having the right to control itrem, is an
ewl r-clf of great iiugiii ndo and ought to be te
, j dre. red if possible, indeed offbeing encouraged.
Ttwe men have been dnwn "xduai'ely from the
: Cherokee counties, and those adjoining them. It
!is matte w.nitty ol great consloeruiiuu vvb.liter
| the Government, bound as it is, to look to tbe
dclence and protection of its own people should
encourage them to leave their homes lor oilier
set vice, surrounded as they are by Cherokee In
dians now about to lie removed by the lotee ol
1 law from the country.
t For tire purpose of showing the necessity
j which exists for retaining in the Cherokee and
adjoining counties all the men capable ol bcarhtg
arms, I submit to lire House ot Representatives
copies of communications Irom Governor Schley
to the President ofllio United Stales, Col. Nel
son, and other persons,upon that subject. I com
these communications, it appeals, that Governor
Sjltley considered the danger to the Cherokee
country to be so great and immediate a» to justi
fy him in assuming an authority not given by
lire laws, in organ zing a largo military force for
Us defence, notwithstanding that lire United
Slates had at the time eleven companies station-
I ed in il : that by a miliiaty ordei, issued the 3d
i An-u I from Athens, addressed to Col. Nelson,
he directed him to uj P a " d or « an, * e a
of ten mounted companies, to be 111 .
different counties of the Cherokee circuit ; tiio.
Col. Nelson did, in pursuance of tire authority
thus given, organize and report a regiment as
ready for duty, early in September, and advised
Gjv, Schley that the lime had already arrived
when they should take the field to protect the
people from the Indians : that Guv. Schley and
1 Gov. Lumpkin (the Commissioner of the Uni
t.-d Stales, then residing at New Echola, and
having the best means of correct information)
concurred in the opinion that the raising and or
ganizing of the regiment under Col, Nelson was
producing the happiest effect in removing the
Indians from the country : and that Gov. ocliley
during the month of September, expressed Ins
detei initiation to arm this regiment and call il into
active service. If there was any justification
| whatovei for the raising of this regiment by Gov.
; Schley and Col. Nelson, at the lime they did, or
| any reliance to bo placed upon the opinions ol
Gov, Schley. Col. Nelson and the United Slates
Commissioner, aato the danger to be apprehend
ed by our citizens from the Cherokee Indians,
and the happy cllect which this force had in in
ducing the Indians to emigrate, I submit to the
Legislature whether it is proper now, when the
time for the removal of these Indians comes near
er, to withdraw from lire Cherokee and adjoining
counties the large forco now inarching to Flori
da. Admitting that the employment ot Col
Nelson to raise a regiment, and lire stationing
of one company in each ot the Cherokee coun
ties, had another purpose than the defence ol the
people, still fears must have been created among
them by these warlike preparations. Indeed,
there is no doubt that it is highly necessary (bat
every one capable of bearing arms in the Chero
kee counties should, if possible, be at home, to
keep down any disposition winch the Indians
may have to do mischief.
Strong as I consider these objections to the
adoption of the resolutions, they would probably
have been overcome by my disposition to acqui
esce m the w ill of the Legislature, but for others
of a higher and more imperative character.
If the appropriation he made for the benefit of
the men described in the resolution, it cannot be
for any services which they have tendered to the
State, or in consideration of any services which
they are bound by law or contract to render here
after. By the Constitution, the General Assem
bly cannot, by resolution, grant any donation or
gratuity, in favor ol any person whatever, but by
the concurrence of tdvo-tbirds. If the money at
tempted to bo appropriated by lire resolution i
not for services already rendered to tbe Slate, nor
hereafter to be rendered, Xdo not perceive clear
ly how the appropriation can bo considered any
thing but a gratuity. This conclusion has prob
ably been intended tobcavoided by he second re
solution which orders that the money expended
in pursuance of lire appropriation in lire first res
olulion, shall be charged to the Federal Govern
ment, and that lire Governor shall take the means
.0 have b ' sta'e reimbursed. I cannot perceive
by what 'lie of right or law the Stale can expenU
money for its own citizens,and charge the Uinien
States, with it, when their services have netthe
been required by, nor rendered to tbe United
Slates. I should feel at a great loss to know
what it cans could properly be taken to reimburse
the State for such an expenditure.
The resolution appears to recognize the au
thority nf Gen, Nelson to command the men a>
Brigadier General. The Slates reserved the right
in the Constitution of the United States to ap
point lire officers of the Militia which may be
called into the service of (ho United Slates. The
law of Congress authorizing the President to
: raise volunteers for the Florida service, directs
that lire officers shall be appointed according to
' the law of the state to vhteh they may belong
The Constitution of the State directs that alt
generals of lire militia shall be elected by the
General Assembly. If, therefore, these men had’
■ even been raised under the authority of the Pic-
I sidettl of the United Slates, stilt they must be
t Commanded by a Brigadier General chosen by
i lire Legislature, and vailed into service thruugh
- the orders of the Governor of the State.
I am not satisfied that the Legislature has the
constitutional power to appropriate, by their re
, solution, thirty thousand dollars for the purpose
t staled in them, by directing that the money he
s paid out of lire contingent fund by the Governoi
I —The Constitution provides that no money shall
he drawn out of the Treasury, or from the public
• funds of the S ate, except by appropriation made
t hy law. The object of this provision is, to secure
1 the people from inconsiderate and improper dis
-1 position of the public money, by subjecting each
appropriation made hy lire Legislature,to the iuves
• ligation produced hy reading ihcbtll containing it
, three limes in three separate days,in each Jlnnse,
• as must he done before a law can be passed, n
contingent fund is created during each session
• of tin; Legislature, for the Executive Department,
t because the Legislature cannot foresee, and there.
, lore cannot provide specially for all the objects rc
t quiring an advacement of money by the Gover
nor from one session of the Legislature to lire
’ succeeding.
If these men now marching to Florida had
, passed hy the scat of government when the Le
: gislature was not in session, the Govarnor could
, tret have advanced to them thirty thousand dol
• lars, to defray their expenses, out of the contin
t gent fund, because they were tret in the service
5 ol the Slate, ami the Legislature could not have
; intended to provide for such a contingency. The
i lust contingent fund was appropriated for the po
■ litical year 1837, which, according to the practice
; of making up aceoun sat the Treasury office, cx
t pired the last day of October; so tnat the uncxi
• pended balance of that fund has become a part of
I the unappropriated funds of the State, to be np
t proprialed by law as other public money, excefi
e for such expendi urcs as were made dur rig the
e political year 1837, anil propoily charged upon
s that fund.
1 For these reasons, il appears to me incotisig
-1 tent with the spirit of the Gonsitulion, for the
’ Legislature at its present session to appropriate
thirty thousand dollars, hy resolution, charging it
1 upon the contingent fund of the last political
» j year; and to provide fir an object which prescnl
“ ' ed itself to the Legislature during the present
■ session, is und istood, a nl therefore not coiitin
’ gent. For these several re isons, I cannot ap-
I prove of the resolution.

r The schr. Velasco arrived at Galveston on Ha.
J lurday last, she had been tossing about the gulf
upwards of lliirly days and was supposed to have
been lost with alt on board. Hire brought in 37
f persons principally women and children.
’i he Indians have again commenced their ra
| vages upon our northern frontier. They have
recently stole several horses and killed a Mr. Ly
’ ons near the head w aters of tire Navidud. They
1 also killed Mr. J. Rogers near the fort above Mt
-1 ua, ami stole a number of horses from that place.
Thev were pursued by the citizens of Mina, over

intended despatching several panics lo the upper
settlements of the Trinity, Colorado and Brassos,
in November and December to renew iheir old
business of horse stealing.
On the morning of Monday last, the steamboat j
Sain. Houston, formerly the Leonidas, on her re- t
turn from Galveston struck a snag a mile or two 1
below this city and was injured so mueji that she i
sunk shortly after reaching the landim. Neatly
all the cargo on deck was saved the lei.iainder in [
lire hold will probably he recovoredjin a few days,
as she is lying in only six or seven feel water.
This untoward event contributed to dampen
considerably the joy of our citizens octjasi tied by
the arrival of the honorable Aleee hißtanche,
who was a passenger on hoard, —fortunately, tire
baggage belonging lo this gentleman was all on
deck and was mostly saved uninjured. The in
jury received hy the steamboat is considered lo
slight. Sire will probably he set a float,again in a
few weeks.
Most of the members of Congress appear lo he
so facinated hy the new land hill that they have
entirely forgotten the navy, land, land, seems to
engross their whole attention ; if their disgrace
ful apathy should continue much longer, the
thunders of the Mexican cannon pealing along
our coast may announce to them, the startling
Act that the title to the lands of Texas, is not
yet secured.
Sentiment.—There is a sentiment in all wo
men, and sentiment gives delicacy lo thought ami
tact to manner. But sentiment with men is gen

quality, not, as with the other sex, of the moral.

two persons. The age ol the youngest might
have been twenty, perhaps more. His dress
1 vas simple, and suited to the wildness ot lire
- country around him. A light hunting coat ol
- highly dressed deer skin was girded round
; Ins waist by a broad eatbern belt, serving lo
1 set offa form whose slightness gave more pro
mise of activity than strength. A lew locks
. ol light hair escaped from beneath a gay cap,
. also made of deer skin, end curiously orna
: merited with stripes of porcupine tpiills. it
t 'was worn more for uppe ranee man use, as it
I served rather to adorn than shade the frank
- and tearless face beneath it. Libia bell lie
t carried a silver lulled dnk, u subsi.tnto lor

bore tlio marks of rough usage, and many a

drawn over h s pantaloons, and completed Ins
t dress—With tlm exception ol these Inst url,-

II ers of the district, ul once pointed Inin out as
not belonging to a class who look alone* to

light r fle, whose highly flmihed barrel, and
slock nilaid with silver, showed that H list)

garments. Like Ins companion, Ins waist
' was belted wit ti a broud lea them girdle, lo
it was attached a short scabbard ot undressed
cow hide, containing a strong bludetl knife,

I the minds of both, ami lo hive wrapped •-•»«•« ,
j up in a world of its own, leaving its uae.’s ,
jon their grave and silent facer. At length
the younger of the two broke silence ;
“Yuu "nru mot dy ibis morning, Norton,”
sain be. “I would give the two best, bullets in
my pouch so know what occupies your
thoughts."
Ids companion raised bis licaa—‘‘My
thoughts llornck, are not lo pleasant, that
you need wish to buy them.
“Ah! I suppose you are still harping on the
footprint in the ashes ol the burnt pruinb. This
same track app tirs lo have troubled you much.
Dnt cheer up! The trappers tiro ret anting
frofn the mountains about this season, and it
may have been left by one who had straggled
from the main body. Besides, it might have
been nude some days since; or even were it
the fresh moceasin-print ol an Indian, you
could scarcely find u hostile one hereabouts.
So yon may scatter your fears to the winds.
The other mused for some moments, ami
then fixed his clear eye on the laec ot It s
companion. ..
“But tins scalp lock” said In', extending a
long thin braid of human hair.—“lt must have
fallen from the legging of an Indian. Tire
Kansas and Otoes rarely wear them. It has
come from the dress ot an Oniaiiawpar I’avv-,
nee. Tim first are not too friendly, ami a
tomahawk and scalping knife would he out
certain welcome from the last. I lie track,too,
was fresh; for the gale which spewtover the
prairie in the morning vvou.d have cover
edit with ashes; but it was clsan, and niidu
by tbs heavy tread of a strong limbed man.
There are those in our neighborhood whose
best wishes could not slop the Highl at an ar
row should they catch a glimpse ol ua. It was
thoughtless in you, boy, to kindle so large a
fire and above all, lo heap it with green brush
wood, It will send up a heavy smoke that
will scan ely escape the eye o. a Redskin
should any change to be lurking m these
clumps of forest. The eagle has not a quick
er eye for Ins prey thin these cutthroat In
dians.”
“Well! well! let them come; we ha* e anna.”
“Arms!” replied flhc patlicr other, half con
temptuously. “ What” will two titles and
two knives do against a handled hows and
tomahawks? Think you a Pawnee or Otuahaw
would venture alone, or even in a small band, in
this noighbo hood, where every tribe is at open
war with him? 'Take my woid for il, if wa light
one, we shall have to fight a hundred.”
“Well, well. Norton, wo will do that when
they come; but don’t let u.s fighi wo
see them—it is a wa-le of ammunition.”
The hunter laughed us be replied, “I am some
times surprised at inyselt for still clinging to you;
for your thoughtlessness is constantly gelling us
into scrapes. However, 1 was once young and
thoughtless myself.”
“Thai of course,” replied Herrick in a merry
lone, "li’slliewuy with alt old people lo give
that advice to iheir children which lin y never
followed themselves. If llie rising (jeneiallou
followed to the letter the precepts of their latinos
and grandfathers, what a greyheaded world we
should live in!”
“Herrick,” said the other, evening him goud-,
naluredly, “will you never cease this bantering!”
“Certainly/’ In thirty years I shall be as demure
and solid a gentleman us any of my ago, and will
give the same advice to my children d I bare
any, that I now receive; and shall ho as much as- ,
tonished il they do not follow il, as my present
advisers are. Ha! look yonder.”
At the exclamation, the hunter sprung lo ho
test, and instinctively cocked his rifle. On the
inow of a low hill, at a short distant from the
■hieket stoi d a largo cluster of animals .closely
rowdod together.
“Pshaw! il is only a gang of elk,” said Norton,
dropping his gun into the hollow ol his arm, “A
fine herd, though. They will probably make no
the timber.”
“If they do we’ll have one of them,” said Her
rick eagerly.
“Yes,” answered Norton, “and perhaps an In
dian arrow hy way of sauce.”
“Hush! Norton, don’t speak so loud ; you
may startle them. Look ! arc they not bauli
ful ?”
The herd now stood with uplifted heads, sur
veying the whole expanse of prairie, seemingly at
doubt whether lo continue Iheir course, or lo make
for llie inviting thicket I iheir feel. At length a
huge veteran, whose heavy branching antlers gave
an air of importance lo his movements, walked
a few steps from the lop of the hill—one billow
ed—then another—and another. From a walk,
their pace quickened In a trot, and in a few mo
ments the whole herd pouted down towards the
spot where the hunters were standing. There
was, however, a suspicion of lurking danger in
the actions of the leadei; for us he bounded swift
ly furwaid, his ears were pricked up; his head
high in the air, moved from side lo side as if in
momentary (eat of seine hidden foe. The rest
relying wind y upon Ilia guidance, followed fro
licking and gambolling. They passed along the
border of (he woods, and camo close upon the
two mi'n. From (ho moment that (hey had passed
(he hill a new (lame had kindled in (he eye ul
Herrick. ILs fingers wandered round llie iriggei
of his gun, & then were jerked away, as if restrain
ed hy the consciousness dial danger might ensue,
Still, as (hey approached, his res lessncss in
creased.
‘ I dare not fire. Vet how easily I might drop
that leader!" said lie raising his rille lo hi ■ check
<Si taking sight along its hand. “Ho is very near,
1 might make sure of him. There! 1 have him
i now—exactly behind the left shoulder, Norton!
shall I pull!”
‘No. ire! I tell you no! Should there ho any
| Indians ulmul. your rille erm k would he sure lo
rail ihem. Have you furgotluil the frot inaik?
1 Tina warning that should not ho disieguidid.
| Our lives ate worth more lhaii a dead elk."
This answer seemed to carry conviction with
J 1 ji.—Willi u sigh, which showed how great w«s
I the sacrifice, llanick dropped lUo hull of his rille

through the woods. The singing id the hullei

■ hi* knees. The died upon the rest of the herd
was electrical. At first they crowded round the
1 wounded leado , snorting loudly ; then, appur*
■ enlly comprehending his tale, they scoured oil
i over the hills. The deserted beast sprang up,
i and rushed inadiy -forward in the direction they
had taken; the leaps grew less and lc>s; one
more hound, he landed on his Teel—hi* leg* tot
tered— hey yielded under him, and befell in the
edge of the thicket, with the death (juixer run
ning through his limbs.
“ilntrah ! theie's elk meal for you ! ’ shouted
Herrick, drawing his dirk He umial ihe hush

his ear was arrested hy a sharp sound, as ot a
dead twig breaking beneath the tread ol an uni
mal. Quick as thought, ho crouched and peeped
through the bushes, scanning with sharp eye ev- j
cry shrub and every tree trunk around him. i
Hi* fears had been awakened, and the reckless
ness of is young companion, in discharging •
liis rifle, hud increased hi* watchfulness. 1
thing, however, was quiet, and he was preparing ‘
to rise from his concealment, when In* attention (
was caught by an unusual quivering of the leaves
at u small dts ancu overgrown with wild pea- i
vines. He diow closer to hi* hiding place. Tre
sently the hush shook violently; the duik paint- 4
ed head of an Indian was protruded from beneath ,
ii ;a pair of naked shoulders followed ; and an (
Indian completely armed, emerged to view. With ;
snake like silence he stole from tree lo tree, slow- (
ly winding his way towards Herrick.
Hut though he moved vviih all the instinctive
craft of his people, he was under the eye of one
whom many years spent in the e wilds had ten |
derod fully his equal. Inch hy inch he moved j
forward—t'u hunter did the same. Whenever
lie paused and looked around, Norton crocuh- ti
ed li> ihe earth —and again at he crept citutioualy
forward the whim followed. Some lime hud 1
been consumed, At Herrick was impaticn ly look- 1
ing about for his companion. The Indian fitted
an arrow to his how. There was no lime lo be
lost. Norton sprang lo his feel. 'J he noi.se of
the motion caught the car ol the Ind an. He i
turned hut too laic. He had hut time lo see the
hunter’s yager po nt n d lo his body; ere u s'.rcain
of fire poured from its mouth Ur*, sharp report
rang through the woods, and die wild scream of *
the warrior, us he leaped in the air, announced
that its bullet had been a death messenger j 1
