Just before dawn the train Gtopped at

THE SHADOW on HIS TRAIL.

Creole put in seven years as a scout and
Indian fighter and heIped with his hands
to open the overland route TO the Rockies
Some of his adventures have already ap-
peared in these columns, and many have
not been told. a most important event in
his life was omitted at that time. an event
that lost TO him all tn glory he had
gained in the Sioux wars, and put a Sha-
dow on his trail After the war ne went
back TO his old home in Iowa, where he
had the misfortune 70 fan desperately in
love with his brothers sweet heart. The
brother triumphed and it broke Creede's
heart. 1t was his first and last love. Like

and shame He crossed the plains and

THE UNRIND CUTS OF THOSE WHO
DID NOT KNOW HIM.

And so people who never knew Creole
disltked him This is especially true Of
those who conceived it to be their duty.
or who think IT smart to nate the rich
and fortunate Here follows 4 sample of
the unkind cuts that are aimed at the I'M
fortunate dead:
from this earth rather a harmonious case
of idiot that never asDired to anything
higher than eating morphine and figuring
conspiCuOusly in divorce suits
Now, as far as [ know. he has never
figured in a divorce court. and make no
doubt his first dose of morphine was
taken upon that awful afternoon When he
gave up the s1Ip and went into his garden
To use the expression Of an old pros
pectOr partner OF his. Creede was a white
man. and he was liked best by those who
knew him best
Among the papers and letters left by
t1e dead prosDector they found the orig
in2l MS OF the following original verses,
and they show that he mad at least one
friend Who remained so to the end:
My dear Creole:
If [ were to write for fne papers to print
What here indite. l o0ine
That my critics would say
1t was written that way
For so many dollars a line
And so, with the view that I'm writing
TO you,
Where no critics lances are hurled.
I'll touch the taut string of ny Tyre and
Of the best hearted nan in the world.
Hank back to the prospect in Poverty
Before gou found dirt that would pay.
Waen the hone in your breast, like the
gold in the west,
Burned brightest at close of the day.
If I were but rich, or, if you were stiII
poor,
And we, sat where your cabin smoke
Curled.
Then n unstinted lays I could pour out
the praise,
OF the pest hearted man in the world.

HIS ONE COMPANION: HIS. EDEN
AND HIS GETHsEMANE.

''That was my rake off for last month"
he said, in his quiet. modest wSv. At
this time Creole was not a strong man.
Seven years on the plains and Is years
in the hills, hunting for mines is enough
TO wreck even the strongest constitution
The one companion that he kept through
whose shaggy coat was the color of
wood ashes. at Creede's request
photoed him and the dog
In June OF that year. 1893. Creede said
ne would go to California. and we
agreed to meet al San Francisco From
Frisco we went to Los Angeles, and
when Creole saw the pretty house at
COL Pearl street he wanted it. Standing
in the garden. he took off his hat, smiled,
and said '"This is my Eden" little
dreaming that It would be his Geth-
Semane as well
Just as the successful Htterateur dis
courages young writer's did this success
full miner discourage prospector-
Stick to your quill, he wrote to a
friend you had asked him to buy Il claim
at Cripple Creek, land you have my
friendship; so prospecting and you lose
it." And a severe and long illness this
same friend wrote gloomilT. and Creede
replied: Never give up the snip; cneer
up; there is much to live for"
six months ago ne wrote his friend,
who was then in Washington. q cheerful
letter and il CHANGED to be the last: We
too. have. a baby-a little girl, and do you
know that | have never known such
pleasure in all my life as the pleasure of
caring for this little child. | like to
dress her and undress her. as little girls
do with their dolls
This was the little girl whom he had
adopted. 1t seems to me that that letter
alone shows that Creede's heart WAS in
the right place. What loving father he
might nave been: what a happy nome he
might have made If things had gone just
a little different. Very few people knew
Creole Intimately. He avoided people.
He WAS constantly ashamed of having
changed his name He exaggerated this
bit of fool1shness into a crime and
brooded over it, and the bitter disappOint-
ment of his earlier life stayed in his heart
and kept it sad.
