The Story of Piilani (Continued from last week,) , Several days later they got the news that Mr.Stoltzand pome police men all armed with revolvers and guns had arrived to Ret the lepers and particularly to capture Koolau. When Koolau heard this he said: "It may he their idea, hut the man who tries to do that will do so at the peril of his life." Tins word was hrouRht to Stoltz, and he sent word hack that Koolau would repent it if he refused to obey the orders of the authorities. Koolau took his gun, kissed it and held it to his breast and talked to the Run as if it was a friend and charged it to stand by him and shoot straight, and from that time Koolau kept guard and shortly af terwards they saw a tent being put up on the beach, and he thought it was to watch him and some of his friends went down to find out for him. , One day Koolau, Piilani and the child went makai on the path by the stream, and there they found Mr. 8toItz's raincoat with some crackers in the pocket, also a blan ket, and Koolau told Piilani to take these things along with her. Short ly afterwards they met Pcnikila, a policeman from Waimea, and Koo lau asked him, where Louis Stoltz was, and Pcnikila said, he did not know, but thought that Louis Stoltz had cone to Hanalei. A little later they met Peter Nowlein, a police man from Hanalei, and Nowlein told them that I)uis Stoltz had gone further up the valley to catch Koo lau by surprise. Koolau ami family kept going till they reached Kan meheiwa's house and found there i lot of their friends. Koolau told them that he was in search of Louis Stoltz and if they were afraid told them to go somewhere else. Peni kila was there and Koolau upbraid ed him for telling a falsehood and told him he ought to lw shot, but told him he would lorgive mm, as he was after Louis Stoltz only. The most of the people went further down towards the beach. In the evening of the following day Koolau came out of the house in which he was hiding together with Piilani and two young fellow by the names of Iwa and Kala, who had been staying in the house Koolau and Piilani sat down on some stones near the house and were watching. It was bright moon-light Between nine and ten that night Koolau heard a noise and said : Here comes the haole. I can hear it is his foot-steps. Here are two of them." Koolau kissed hi wife and said: "May be we neve meet again." Kala and Iwa ran out of t! house and Louis Stoltz snug out Kala, do not move, took out, you arc liable to be shot." And they heard a gun being cocked. Shortly afterwards they saw the shadows of two men: Koolau pushed Piilani behind him and then Koolau shot. 1'y the flare of the iight she sr.v who was Stolt.'s partner. It was a man by the name of Paoa, one of the lepers, that Stoltz had caught in the moun tains. When Koolau shot, Paoa ran over to Stoltz, and Koolau told him to look if Stoltz was dead. Koo lau then asked Piilani to go and look, and when she got to Stoltz, she saw him on his-knees, and Paoa shouted shoot." Koolau shot his second shot, and that killed Stoltz. Koolau turned to Piilani and s:iid: "It was a question, who was to die first. Louis Stoltz or I." Piilani said: "That is so, if Paoa had not called out shoot, you would probably gotten the worst of it, as Sto!. had his gun cocked." This happened on June 27th lSOIL After this Koolau told the people that he had killed Stoltz.

(Faye, Louis is dead.) On iccount of the cloudiness of the sky Faye could not sec anybody at tin place under the trees from where the voice came, so it' sounded like Stoltz was cariying out his promise.
