Iowa hills heralded the coming night.

her light reflected in the water of the
great river, which from this height
was like blue mirror Batiste had
made fire and withdrawn with the
three horses to picket them where
there was grazing for the night. The
two Americans sat down and talked
of the doings of their world.

The trapper's face had lost it's look
of simplicity it was fierce and merci-
less, like wild beasts. "I want an
Otoe scalp" he said.
They were silent; one stared into
the fire, the other smoked and watched
the moon. The third traveller came
back from the horses and began to un-
lace the packs.
"What do they call this place?''
Richardson inquired suddenly. "Blest

Batiste stirred about, getting sup

and then to sing. He produced coffee,
sugar and bacon he scraped the dirt
off fresh quarter of venison with his
knife, and began to slice it. Richard
son watched him with softening look,
but at this he shook his head. 'Cut-
ting it across the grain," he said.
Then Batiste opened a tin can of hard
bread, and at this he laughed aloud.
"Gimme one of them, Batiste," he
said; 'I've been year at time
without seeing bread" And as he
crushed it in his strong jaws his face
took ON it's childllke expression again.
Presently he looked across the fire
with an oddly timid glance. "Where
you from, Mr.. Jackson?' he said.

said the trapper; "where was you
born?" The other looked up defiant

trees that fringed the creek. or flap
ping their way to the wooded island
under the hill. The sun was drawing
toward the western horizon, where the
yellow prairie hills stretched, roll
after roll, to the limit of vision, and
the mild southern breeze began to
take OH chill. 1t was the Gath of
November, 1S42.
A traveller toiled up the northern
slope of the hill from the creek bed
that lay at its foot When he reached
the level top he laid his parfeche-
covered pack on the ground, took off
his fur cap and stood leaning OH his
heavy rifle, surveying the quiet land
scape before him, while the breeze
swayed his long hair. He was a very
tall man, of the broad -shouldered and
spare build that promises limitless
endurance; his frame was bowed, but
evidently more with hardship than
with age, as the hair that lay about
his shoulders was untouched with
gray; and as his keen eyes scanned
the wide river-bottom before him, he
fell into an attitude expressive of
great WEAKNESS.
Suddenly the weariness fell from
him, and he started into the alert
posture of listening wild animal.
Up the long slope from the south
came two horsemen, driving pack
animal before them. The tall man
faced them and shifted his grasp on
the rifle, then stood leaning Oh it as
before and awaited them, immovably.
Presently they halted; evidently they
had seen him. They seemed to con-
suit, and then turned their horses to-
wards him. AS they approached
within hailing distance, he tossed
his gnn into his arm; "Who be ye?"
he called.
One laughed. Il took ye for an
Indian" he said. Were white men,

features relaxed into child-like ex-

nowhere tonight.

said the other. 81 been here before.

His companion made no reply, but
leaped heavily to the ground and be-
gan to unsaddle.

HERE Is no cause to Won
der over the dsmay and
Il Indignation with which the
peoDlo are receiving the
Pennsylvania legislatures action in
arranging to turn out great numbers
of criminals on the community long
before the terms for which they were
rightouusly sentenced have expired.
There Is now. however. apparently a
prospect that the judicial branch of the
state government will be called upon
to pronounce on the extent to which
the new law can be made operative.
The Philadelphia Ledger prints Il let
ter from an eminent l&wyer-it so
states him tn be--in which he says:
II more than doubt the power OF
the legislature 20 interfere with
Judgment of the court in cases al
ready passed upon. In other words,
the legislature can neither add to nor
shorten a sentence. 1t follows that
the act referred to has no application
to sentences of criminals imposed
prior to the passage of the act. Were
it otherwise, tn" legislature couid
empty the penitentiary by an act of
assembly. iris would be an exercise
of tho pardoning power which that
body does not possess. | grant the
power of the legislature to pass a
communication law as to future cases.
Bat this power does not extend to
rast sentences, and the warden of the
penitentiary and the keeper of our
county prison would do well to raise
the question and have decision or
the courts before they discharge con-
victs under the new law. Otherwise
they may incur Il serious RESPONSE
bility."
He is evidently by no means alone
in this opinion. Also. as has been
already pointed out in a good many
directions. n state law thus interfer-
ing with sentences already passed by
federal courts upon persons convicted
of offences against the United States
must undoubtedly lead to the federal
governments taking some action to
prevent such interference. Altogether
the law seems in a fair way to reach
reference to the courts, and not I'M
probably to congress.
