CHAPTER VIII.
LOSE THE KINGS LETTER.


Almost before daylight we were afoot, and
the first ray Of cold sunshine found US step
ping from the woods into the plain, where
now the snow was vanished and a glistening
coat Of rimo spread over all things. Down
here the pines gave way 10 bare elms aud
poplars, thickly dotted, and among them the
twisted smoke OF farmstead and cottage here
and there, and the morning stir OF kitchen
and stable, very musical in the crisp air.
Della stepped along beside me- humIning an
air or breaking on to chatter Meeting US,
you would have said We had never a care.
The road went stretching away TO the north

both young and one, by this time, pretty

duct Of those we met. their gruir refusals OF
food, their smiles aud winks, caused Della TO
insist that at the first opportunity ! should
get her a suit Of boys clothes.
On the far side OF the valley we entered .
wood, thinking by this TO shorten our way,
for tho road here took a long bond 10 east
ward. Now, at first this wood seemed OF no
considerable size, but thickened ard spread
as we advanced. Twas only, however, after
passing the ridge and when daylight began
10 fail US that became alarmed. For tho
wood grew denser, with tangle OF paths
cstsscrossing amid the undergrowth. And
just then came the low muttsr of cannon,
shaking the earth. We began to run forward.

A orIyER FULL OF THEM,

Little girls, of course, wouldn't do such
thing, but they are all in favor Of the
shorter skirts, as they, too, are q little
tired Of the Empire and Sara Crewe
style. The waists to the summer ging-
hams, chambreys and lawns, as well ~
muslins, are all made very tastefully and
with much ornamentation, while the
skirts are very plain. Sashes are fastened
with heavy and enormous buckles In
shell, steel or oxidized silver.
Hats are in all sorts, kinds and colors
Of straw, and trimmed as you please.
Shirred hats of gingham for quite little
ones are as pretty as a picture over the
sweet little faces. The strings are OF tho
same material. OLIVE HARPER.

Toole's Popularity.

The number OF farewell dinners given to
TooIe, the very popular English comedian,

being denied admission to the dinner given
him by his professional brothers, organized

great magnilcence, Mr.. Toolc being tho

Together we descended to the hut. By this
time the voices had faded away In distance.
Yet to mako sure that the rascals had really
departed, We followed their tracks for some
way, beside the stream; and suddenly came
to a halt with cries Of joyful surprise.
The brook had led us to point where, over
a stony fall veiled with brown bracken, it
plunged into narrow ravine. Standing on
the lip, where the water took a smoother
glide before leaping, We saw the line OF
the ravine marked by a rift Ia the pines,
and through this slice OF the country
that lay below. Twas a level plain, well
watered and dotted here and there with
houses A range OF wooded hills closed the
view, and towards them broad road wound
gently, till the eye lost 1t at their base. All
this was plain enough, in spite Of the snow
that covered the landscape. For the sun had
burst out above, and the few fakes that still
fell looked black against his brilliance and
the dazzling country below

The Colby CAT is disposed to stick
its claws into Webb McNall-Kansas
City Star. The CAT is disposed to do
nothing of the kind and has never
said any thing against Webb McNall.
The CAT is a republican paper of the
deepest die and will support the nomi-
nee of the convention. But while we
do that, it is not necessary to approve
of the methods used to defeat the
choice of the majority of the people
in the district. The CAT believes Nc
Nall to be man of courage, ability.
and will fill the position of congress
man with honor to himself and con-
stituents. The CAT was one of the
first papers in the district to say that
it would stand by the republican par
ty as its issue of May Is will show.
To stand by the republican party
means to support the nominee, that
party may put up.
Thomas County cat., 1890-05-29

The CAT does not advise the alli-
ance to put up a county ticket but
urges all republicans to stand by the
republican party. 1t believes this is
the better course for members of the
county alliance to take as more can
be accomplished in this manner than
by putting up third ticket thus de-
feating both their own and the repub-
lican candidates rs democrats general
iy vote straight. The alliance can do
more in shorter length of time in
the republican party than by any
other movement. Let the alliance
men 90 to the primaries and see that
good, true and faithful republicans
are nominated.

Hon f. j. Turner will give his
hearty support to the republican nomi
nee for congress, Hon. Webb Nc
Nall. In this, shines out clearly his
magnanimous disposition and the
real worth of his character. The nom.
inatioE really belongs to him. but he
does not allow the fact of his failure
to get it, sour him on the successful
nan. Like the honest, upright, gen
erous soul he is, he falls into line and
asks all his friends to do the same

At last Colby has secured flour

10y the middle of August. Mr..
Hall of the firm of Hall & McGee of
Oberlin closed a bargain last Tuesday
whereby they become owners Of the
building already erected and have Or
dered the machinery to be here by Ju-
iy 10. They propose to run the full
capacity of IS barrels per day and will
make flour second to none in the
country. Thus our farmers will have
q market for their wheat and our
merchants place to get flour at home
so that the producer and consumer
will alike be benefited. The city will
begin a new boom and our streets
will be thronged with teams ever
more than they are now on Saturdays

Commissioner Morgan is man who
says little but does much. As soon as
he arrived in the territory he went TO
Anadarka, in the midst of the wild
tribes, and there held conference with
the Apaches. Comanches. Wichitas, XII
owas and Caddoes, which was the largest
Indian conference ever held IN the south
west Assisted by the Indian agent, the
Baptist and Methodist missionaries and
q number of the young Indians who had
been at school, he succeeded in winning
a large number OF tho most prominent
Indians from the new belief and con-
vincing them of the falsenoss OF the
doctrine. Ali Of the tribes then agreed
10 return 20 their homes and 80 about
their usual avocatlons, whether they be-
heved in the coming Messiah or not.
At Darlington a conference was held
with the Cheyennes and Arapshoes with
similar results, and among the Poncas
aud OSazes it was found that the craze
had made but little hesdway, and the
few VINO wanted 20 dance indulged IN
that pastime until they got tired AID
then returned TO their homes.
The Indian commissioner IL a man pos
sessed of strong personal magnetism, and
he exerted a wonderful influence over
tho Indians he met.
sitting Bull meanwhile took the ponies
with which ne had been presented and
left for his home N the north. While a
number Of tho Indians still believe in the
coming Messiah. and persist in holding
dances in his honor. their number Is now
comparatively small, and there is no
longer any possible danger Of an upTis-
ing among tho southern Indians.

rSgho ~as a. ere uaie sIroaeof.sly supposed BY
rne whites 70 - the Indian Messiah
A tradition has long prevailed among
these that a great prophet or medicine
nan would some day relieve them from
the hated bondage OF the whites. So
when lat April q messenger came among
them from the north. aud said that GER
tain chiefs there had been visited by the
great Messiah, all were ready for the
story. and many believed az once in the
coming SAVIOR. The Cheyennes and
Arapahoes were the most active in the
matter, and at Onco raised a sum OF
money and sent two OF their number to
the reservations IN the north, with the
request that at least ono Of the prophets
Df the coming Messiah should visit the
southwest.
These messengers visited the Sioux
agencies in Dakota, and returned with
the assurance Of the great prophet that
e would visit the southern tribes very
soon. This great prophet proved TO be
