The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1884-12-05

bleed, while he went out into the air.
And the prisoner, what of him? Any
one, looking upon him as he lay upon
the cypress boughs, would have known
him to be thoroughbred. Everything
about him proclaimed it. His face
manly but gentle, his figure, great in
stature and strength, yet graceful in
outline like a Grecian god, the very
dress and Announcements he wore, which
were neat, strong, expensive, but with
out ornament, showed him to be o gen
tleman. And Robert Shirley was a
gentleman. Probably no man in all
the states could have been found who
would have presented a greater contrast
to the man standing guard outside the
tent than this mar who lay within it
and for that reason none who would
have been so welcome to Fourier. AS
the n was a pure savage, the other
was the realization of the most illustri-
u enlightenment; the other gentle,
frank, considerate; as the one was hid
eous, Informed and black as night, SO
the other was radiant with manly beau
ty, and fair as the morning. Each
among his W people sprang from no
BILE stock the one u prince, the other
the descendant of the purest Pu-
ritan race, which knew among it's own
divines and judges, brave captains. and
farther back a governor of the colony.
But the guard and his people we're at
the foot of the scale, the guarded at the
top. The blood flowing out upon the
cypress bed was the best blood OF
America. Generation after generation
it had flowed in the veins of fair wom-
en- and noble men, and had never known
dishonor. Yet Fourier let it flow.
More, he was delighted that it continued
to flow.
Presently, however, he sobered
down, and began to prepare for his
work. He placed a large cauldron of
water over a Ere; he brought basins,
towels. and his case of surgical instru-
ments, and placed them in the tent, and
with them the case with which he had
taught the African to believe contained
his god. While thus busted he did not
neglect the subject of his experiment.
His watchful eye noted everything-the
mass of clots growing like a great fun
gus under the wounded shoulder, the
deadly pallor. the dark circles forming
around the sunken eyes, and blanched
