treated very much as they would treat
their horse or their dog. Wanny made
no effort to secure his notice, going
about apparently as Indifferent TO his
attentions as before Jim was rather
pleased at this. He took no credit TO
himself for the girls defense and was
the last man to stand what be called
/ palaver on the part of one for whom
he would do a favor When. therefore,
he saw that Wanny RETAINED from
any marked expression Of gratitude
which would have been likely TO draw
down upon him the gibes Of his assoei-
ates he gave hercredit for a lot Of sense.
Then Jim. who was inclined to take
It upon himself to regulate any infrac-
ton OF camp etiquette, discipline. law
and the like, thought proper one day to
turn out Of camp a good for nothing
drunken Indian. one Of the tribe to
which Wanny belonged. who had their
tepees a mile down the stream. The
man had been hanging about and sun
dry articles had been missed Jim
therefore invited him to leave and en-
forced his invitation with a kick
Jim had claim lying between the
miners and the Indians camp and
was accustomed to ride there nearly
every day One morning Wanny came
to him and said:
'No go down river today"
'Why not, WaunyT'
Cit shot
who's going to DO the job?"
Wpnny gave him the name Of the
Indian whom Jim had given the grand
bounce" Jim thanked her for the in
formation, but Wanny saw By his man
ner that he would pay no attention 10
1t. She disappeared and was not seen
around the camp again that day
About sunset Jim, previous to riding
to his claim, remembering Wannys
warning, went to the wall where his
rifle hung TO get it, but It was not
there. Thinking some one had borrow
ed IL and not caring to give up his trip
because he hadn't It, he mounted and
rode down the river. Suddenly in the
road before him he heard a shot, fol-
lowed by another from a thicket. Rid
ing on, he was horror stricken at see
ing Wanny lying on her face 10 the
road across a rife. Dashing to her, he
threw himself from his horse and
raised her tenderly. Life was 1utter-
ing, but her soul looked out through
her eyes as clearly as it had ever look-
ed. In Jim revenge struggled with tho
gentler feelings, and he FASTENED to
ask before it would be too late who
had done the deed. There was no an
swer. The eye was clear. but the lips
had lost the power TO move. Then the
eve lost it's intelligence and became
fixed.
1t was not a minute from the time
Jim saw her till, selling the rifle CHS
own, he was dashing into the thicket
from which 1t was evident the shot
had come He heard a crashing In the
bushes and saw the Indian who had
tarea tened him running for his life.
Jim caught him, took him to camp,
and before the sun had set the Indian
was swinging from the limb Of tree.

a mile for some tobacco without giving
her a cent that she should be paid for

the girls eyes the very next time she
looked at him. Jim considered 1T an ex.

than this. The wild creatures heart

Jim Burns paid no more attention to
Wanny than before. That be had freed

Two Engllshwomen, Lady Balearres

wearing gowns laden down with this

long court train at one of the drawing
rooms made of orange velvet flounced
with cream colored lace. Mrs. Ewart

Cheering Ray From ohio-General Results Indicate a Hard Fight for Repubhcans-Gorman

Walter Wellmans Washington special to
 Chicago Record-Herald.
 Tammany's smashing victory in New York and the triumph of Senator Cor man in Maryland cast a shade of gloom over the White House tonight, which was in part relieved by Republican suc- cesses In Ohio and other States. In po- litical circles here 1t Is believed the re- suit indicates:
 1. That New York is likely to go against the Republicans in the presidential con- test next year.
 2. That the reelection of President Roosevelt is not going to be as easily accomplished as his friends had hoped.
 8. That Senator German will probably assume more and more prominence as an aspirant for the Democratic nomination. and that he will from now on be a thorn in the side of the administration at the capitol.
 4. That there is a possibility New York may present Mcclellan for President. and try to put the son in the seat the father failed to win.
 5. That on the whole the result of the elections Is unfavorable to President Roosevelt and his administration. as in- dicating a reaction toward the opposition especially in the Eastern States.
 President Roosevelt arrived at the White House at S:3O this evening from his trip to Oyster Bay, where he cast his vote, and almost immediately went to his ohice in the executive annex to re- ceive the election returns. Secretary Cor telyou, Assistant Secretary Loomis and Commissioner Cooley came in, and Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Roosevelt were so much interested in the news from New York that they came over from the resi- dence part of the White House and re- mained with the President throughout the evening.
