CHAPTER XVI.
YOU SEE HE LOVED ME.

'eYou are crazy" smiled Kildare.
T am not; I mean it. You have killed
her as surely as If you had put a knife into
her when first you saw her. You have killed
her heart and soul and will, through all
these cruel two years You have wrung
from her, her beauty, her youth, her
strength, and now the poor life comes, tool
You are coward and a brutel You will go
unhanged, but this red blood here is on
your head. Look at her" she went on to

whose roughly painted faces showed pale

hzation, laws and government of their
own, and these Cherokees, among whom I
an now living, have their own parliament
here at Tahlequah, and they elect their
Senate and Hoafe without regard to the
United States
They have q president or chief, who is
elected by the vote of the people, and they
settle all civil matters in their own courts,
the cases being pleaded by their own lawyers
and decided by Indian Judges. They have
their own Secretary of the Treasury and
their own police, and politics cuts as much
Of figure here as it does at Washington.
GLIMPSE OF THE CAPITAL
Tahlequah is a town Of perhaps i, 900 peo-
pie and the State House is In Its center. II
Is big two-story brick building which
looks more like q country country court
house than q National Capitol, and 1t is
located in a large park filed with great
forest trees. Around this the streets e1-
tend out in every direction They are wide
and unpaved and are lined with such build

around the rouge, 'fthere lies one side Of
the life into which you are swarming. A
sweet, brave, loyal heart is broken here.
This wee bit of womankind has braved .
fight ten times beyond the strength of any
woman. Her name heads us all on the
programme out there. What does that
mean? Toll, patience, courage-undaunted,
logged courage. And here is the end Of it
ALL She lies here at the feet Of a man who
has had from her her best of loyalty and
love. And this is the end Of it ALL You
have sneered and laughed! Dare to do 1t
nowi Her faith has claimed even her life,
and she has not failed. 1t is like her to
come here at last, make no sign against him,
though her hearts blood comes to her lips
to speak for her."
She gathered the frail form in her arms
and moaned over it.
That night Birds eyes opened and rested
on Freda's face, then wandered to Kildare,
who stood glowering at the foot of the bed.

COME.

The newspapers explained how the beau
tiful leading lady of Kildare's company
had heen stricken on the stage. They gave
a sketch of her career; of her little country
home which she had left for a course In the
New York Lyceum of Arts; of her progress
there, of her subsequent short experience,
her versatility, her ambition, her careful
study under Kildare. They spoke, too, Of
his noble grief at her death, of his tender
thought Of the mother into whose care he
resigned the shrouded form so lately full Of
life, and of his generous care of the sorrow-
ing parent even to the door of the desolated
home. ALI this though dates were cancelled
and the company idle They didn't men

over her saying harsely:
"Where is it2" A frightened look Of
helplessness crossed her face, then she re-
membered and made an effort to lift her
hand to her breast. The satin gown had
been cut from her, but the lace undergear
had not been touched. From its folds
Freda drew bit of paper upon which Kill
dare's hand at once closed.
In this moment Birds face took sudden
beauty.
"You see, Fredal'' she cried-a ring al
most of life in her voice-"you see-he-
loved me-" Then. her eyes on him in
piteous question she said again: 'You-you
love me?"
That was the end.

that the Government will try and get it for

A CHANCE FOR UEoLE SAM.
It has been SO arranged now that the In
disns get no revenue from it, and If Uncle
Sam holds on long enough they will proba-
bly, come to his terms. It will in all 1ikeH-
hood be the old story Of fraud against the
Indians and will take ita place among the
unpaid claims of Congress. In 1865 the
United States made treaty with tho Choc-
taws and Chickasaws, and thereby got q
large tract of land for which they agreed to
pay the Indians 1921, 900. The Indians
never got the money and the whites have
the land. AT the same time there was a
treaty made with the Creek Indians, which
hung fire for years, and the five civilized
tribes if they had their dues would receive
millions of dollars from the United States
Treasury. As it is, they get a certain

tribes. Lands may be sold as far as their

cannot sell his land to white man. The
Texas cattle men look with envy on these
rich plains of green and they try all sorts
Of dodges TO get in. Not long ago in the
Creek country they tried to steal 25O, 900
acres and they built ITO miles of wire fence
around this They had something like TO-
600 head of cattle on this land and they
rather defed the Indians
THE INDIANS TOOK THEIR OWN
The Indians held council and went along
the fence and chopped off the posts close to
the ground. They said: "We don't know
about the wire, that may belong to the
white man and We won't touch it, But as
for these posts, they were cut from our
forests and they belong to the Indians and
We will cut them down" The result was
that the Texans had to take their cattle out
of the country.
A great many Texas cattle are grazed in
the Territory by Indians for Texans and
there are number OF pastures in the Greek
country ranging in size from IL, 900 to 81, 900
acres. They receive from 81 to 81 80 head
and though the grazing of cattle in this way
Is against the law of the tribes, it is winked

CHIEF OF THE CHoCTAws
I had a talk with Governor Smallwood,
who was for long time chief of the Choc-
taws. met him at the little town Of
Atoka and found him a verv intelligent
man He tells me that the Choctaw nation
has IL counties in it, and that it has its
Senate and House just as the Cherokees
have. Its Governor gets $1,000 a year as a
salary, and is elected for a term of two
years He has the same authority as one
of the Governors of our States, except that
he cannot pardon. Governor Smallwood
says that there are about $4,000 Choctaws
and that these believe in the Christian re-

Catholic. TIE Choctaws live in log houses
and plain cottages and their people are
steadily advancing in culture.
There is no State in the Union that pays
proportionately more toward education
than the Choctaws, and / find that the
Cherokees here have an excellent system of
public schools. One of the leading political
Issues here at Tahlequah is the public
school system. They have big boys COL
lege here and female seminary, and they
have system Of public schools which ex-
tends throughout the country.
CLOSED FOR WANT OF FUNDS.
The revenue of the nation, however, ran
behind, and these schools have all been shut
up for a year on account of there being no
money to pay the teachers, and the ques-
tion of this payment and the reorganization
of the schools is one which the young
Cherokee orators are now discussing on the
stump The opposition to Chief Mays re-
election charges that it is due to his ineffi-
cheney and bad government that there has
not been enough money to pay the teach
ers, and the friends of the Chief show quite
as plainly that the deficit rises from other
causes: In the meantime the big seminary
lies IDLE and the university has no scholars.

Cherokee Strip Uncle Sam ought to give
them what it is worth. Chief Bushyhead

The fire departments election of officers
last night though closely contested and at
times exciting was harmonious and the re-
suit satisfactory. Mr.. Van Horn aud j. G.
tRapelje were candidates for chief. The
first and second ballots were a tie but the
third resulted in the election of Van Horn
by a majority of one. For assistant chief,
Mr.. Rapelje was chosen and H. L. Reade
was elected president. o. H. Will received
the vice presidency, W. F. Dunlap was
chosen secretary and Albert Marquett
treasurer. Many of the boys c%ongregated
at Mr.. Van Horns office and kept him in
conversation until the band arrived and
.seranaded him. Mr.. Van Horn thanked
those present, in a neat and complimentary
manner, for the honor bestowed ON him.
The torchlight brigade next visited
Mr.. Rapelje at the Lamborn hospital
where the band rendered some well selected
music. He was not able to appear and
thank his friends personally, but
through the kindness of one of the sisters
his regrets and appreciation were ex-
pressed. Mayor Bentley was next visited,
and, although unable to appear in the
night air, on account of his recent illness,
he expressed his most hearty appreciation.
Mr.. Van Horn, the newly elected chief, has
been a hard-working member and in every
respect was deserving of the honor con-
ferred. His associate, Mr.. Rapelje, has al
so been a member Of the department. a long
time and his election gives universal salts

tween Sitting Bulls followers and the In
dian police. He has secured a number of
excellent views of the dead wOrrior's cab.
in, the family and the points of interest
in that vicinity. Among Barry's relics
which he prizes most highly is Sitting
Bulls broken rifle. Barry is we'll known
by the Indians at Standing Rock who
are 20 slow to tax the camera artist a neat
sum for the privilege of taking!their phizes
and this trip has cost several hundred dol
lars. He reports that great efforts are be-
ing made by spectators to gain possession
of the cabin for exhibition purposes. 1t
would undoubtedly prove a good drawing
card. The Indians are 10th to part with it
Notwithstanding they shun it as though it
was an evil spirit, and Mr.. Barry thinks
that nothing short Of S l 1000 will purchase
it, as Sitting Bulbs two widows are we'll
aware of its commercial value. Mr.. Barry
leaves tonight for West Superior, Wis.
where he is now located in business and
doing well.

The Commissioners Meet.

Probably one of the most comical scenes
enacted in the county auditors office took
place Monday when the county commits
sioners refused to allow Anderson Bakers
bill of $114 for nursing Barber Mckinney
during his late sickness. The board con
sldered the bill and decided that Just half
the amount would be about right, and al
lowed the bill accordingly. Uncle Baker
got mad and expostulated in behalf of his
tender nursing, but the hard-hearted com
m%issioners stood by their original action.
The next bill was from George Joy for
Keeping county poor. Mr.Joy has the con-
tract to keep the county poor. but during
the time for which his bill was rendered
there were no county subjects in his
charge, consequently his bill was dis
allowed. Mr.. JOY. however, claimed he
was entitled to compensation under his
contract whether there was anyone in his
care or not. He followed Uncle Bakers
example and said some harsh words to the
commissioners, who informed him that the
bill was not just and could not be allowed.
