Ing true, why did he keep away?
Then at times Vida would think that the

least show Of reason fix IL.
1t was all a puzzle. problem, the solving
OF which might bring ruin upon her.
But they shall not triumph over me,

II was bitter feeling. but passion Is q
soil In which deadly things will grow; and
vida's soul was more like fair garden o'ei

''Rnth shall die, she thought. and steeled
her heart against all promptings Of mercy,
To this end she spared Phoebe. and kept
the deadly potion she had purchased II
Carpingdcan as weapon to use In the end.
Meanwhile she watched and waited fol

Hut the Other Man Concluded that VI
Had Business Elsewhere.

One @; the men who figured c6n-
spicuously in the pioneer days Of Ne
braska was Colonel Peter A. Sarpy, a
distinguished Indian trader and q
member of the famous American Fur
Company. An old settler tells the
following story in the n. Y. Herald
about this eccentric pioneer:
Colonel Sarpy preferred the free.
dom of prairies to the society Of civil
lied life and spent great deal of his
time in visiting Omaha wigwams near
the old trading posts. He was regard
ed by the Omahas as their Nekagahhe
or big chief. In fact he married an
Omaha woman, Nakoma, to whose in
tercessions he was more than once
indebted for the preservation of his
life when attacked by Indians.
One night crowd of frontiersmen
were gathered in the store of Colonel
Sarpy and the conversation turned
upon the treatment of the Indians.
Sarpy portrayed in glowing colors
injustice heaped upon them by the
whites.
A tall, gaunt-looking specimen over
in the corner, who was busily engaged
in whiting. listened with consider
able interest. He suddenly looked up
and interrupted the speaker.
This yere talk about the Indians as
good and brave and intelligent may

This was too much for Sarpy. He
advanced to the frc . of the speaker
aud interrupted hi.a in an excited
manner. DO you know who i am.

emphasis. Il am Peter A. Sarpy, sir!
II you want to fight. sir, am your
man, sir! can whip the devil, sir!
Choose your weapons, sir! Bowie
