kansas River, and, coming in contact
with a superior force of Blackfeet, his
men were all killed, and himself taken
prisoner.
The victorious party at once set out
for their own village, two hundred
miles away. On arriving there quite
a number of the principal men of the
tribe were found to be absent. and it
was decided to keep the prisoner until
their return, which event was daily ex-
pected.
During his confinement Black EIz's
wants were supplied by young maid
en-, WhippOorwiu by name, whose soft,
dark eyes looked first with pity, then
with love, on her helpless charge, and
she resolved to set him free. Accord
ingIy, when she went at sunset to take
his supper, she made known to him her
plan.
Black Elk had not been unmindfuI
of the many acts of kindness shown
him by this little maid, but had not ex-
pected this. Should he escape, she
would at once be suspected, and most
likely put to death, and his heart grew
warm toward her who would risk 50
much for his sake. He refused TO 90
and leave her to suffer IN his place
but told her that if she would go with
him and be his bride they would make
the attempt together.
WhippOorwil was unable for time
to decide; her lover, on one hand
friends, relatives, and the home of heI
childhood, on the other; but she al
last consented to go.
Returning to her own Lodge she anx

Entering a cavern they remained
concealed until the shadows of night
again fell over the earth, when they
came forth and resumed their journey,
taking care to keep on ground over

They glided through the forest like
specters, their light footballs giving
back no sound, for well they knew that
many swift feet and keen eyes were on

daughter of the Blackfeet, and the
light that shOne in her dusky eyes
BODIED no good to the happy pair.
The hour had come for the marriage
ceremony, and Black Elk sat beside
his intended bride within the nuptial
lodge, now beautifully decorated
with wild flowers and ever
green's, when suddenly, and be-
fore any one could prevent it,
the Willow-BOugh stepped in front of
the open door, and, drawing an arrow
to the head, let it fly, piercing the
heart Of Black Elk, who fell dead at
the feet Of the horrOr-stricken girl so
soon to have been his bride. Hastily
throwing the bow aside, she drew a
long hunting knife from her girdle and
drove it to the hiIt in her own bosom,
and her spirit followed that of the
one she had loved to the shadow land.
Sorrow and gloom now fell on all.

The legend Of the Lily.

Once, long ago, when the earth was
young, an angel was wandering
through its verdaut fields searching for
a flower to make an offering to his
Heavenly Father. Rich was the color
and sweet the perfume Of these earthly
stars, but how gaudy they were IN his
mind
ga pure white flower! J" he murmured ;
but though he searched long and dill
gently he could not find one.
Disappointed and weary he sat
down on a stone and wept. The cTys-
tai tears fell down his robe and sank
into the ground. Immediately a lily
sprang up so pure and sweet that the
angel, with a joyous burst Of song,
straightway gathered 1t and few on
high to the throne of God, and, kneel-
ing. laid the offering at His feet.
His Creator, behOlding the graceful
white flower, said to his faithful ser
want:
Because Of thy zeal in my service,
this flower shall hencefOrth grow all
over the world, and when sinful man
looks upon it he VIII think OF thy fer
vor and initiate 1t.

BY AID II. GIBSON.
By yon lone grove I found a grave
Over which the daisies wave,
In the sad-VOiced autumn gales,
Sweeping down secluded dales.
Where the rabbits tread is heard,
And the trill of woodland bird;
There the wild vines climb and creep,
Where is kept that dreamless sleep.
Underneath the falling leaves,
Free from all that VeXes, grieVes;
Rid Of this worlds mad strife
And all the ills of human life.
Who Ieth there I cannot tell,
Sleeping in that quiet dell
No name is on the low, gray stone
At the mounds head, Vine-O' ergrOWn.
Is that grave by all forgot?

In memory of the one once here,
Who reve1ed in this LIES brief sphere2

Gladstone and Equal Education.

Mr.. Gladstone is preparing to make move In
the direction Of equal education of the highest
kind for men and women. He contributed nothing
to the women's part in the first epoch of the
struggle. They have worked out their own saliva
ton, not only without distinguished allies OF any
party but despite the frowns and encouragement
of the narrow or the tlmd in all parties. They
have forced open the doors of some medical
schools, and Oxford will admit them to examina-
ton for medical degree for the first time next year.
They have conquered by sheer force of merit, tai
ent, and resolution every inch of their way and at
last the most powerful speaker and debater of his
country is preparing to demand for them an equity
in the public appropriations made for university
support What form the effect of his advocacy
will take remains to be ascertaned. He may ask
that the women's colleges, Girton and Newman,
De allowed an annual gft or he may seek to COM
pei Cambridge and Oxford to admit women on the
same terms as men and confer on them not only
the degrees but the material rewards and the posts
of profit now exclusively claimed by men. His
assumption of women's rights in education and
industry is the most significant fact in the history
of the woman movement; and it is only candid to
say that they have compelled by their own success
this emphatic recognition of the business and in
herent justice of their clams.-Kansas Commoner.

The Women of Brittany.

At home the Breton peasant is sullen, sodden

house, who gravey stands about, and, while puff
ing his long, slender pipe, is ever quiet but effec-
tive driver of his family of willing slaves. The
wife and children and especially the wife and
daughters, ceaselessly drudge with the almost in
conceivable bitterness of manual labor about the
home and in the fields. They are beasts of bur
den endlessly No respect or consideration is ever
shown the women of Brittany.
"Once married, ever BEAST" is pathetic
proverb among these peasant slaves Some of the
men have good forms, and they are tall, shapely,
grave and fine. Some even possess classic faces,
intensified by their long, coarse hair and wide,
black, low-crowned hats. But Breton peasant
woman is shapeless block of wood, wrinkled and
bent by stormy wind and weather. her spotless
