across the street and sat down on the steps of the Presbyterian church, couple of blocks away, where she drew a crowd of kids and nurse girls. till the cop on the beat came up and drove 'em away and collected another pair of twenties.
 About 10 o'clock, Flora thinking the coast was clear. came out and got into her carriage. Kate was ready for her holding up her skirts in one hand and her shoes in the other. The carriage drove off and Kate fell in behind on a little trOt. You know how Indians run: they can keep it up all day. and you can't get away from 'em. Flora saw her and made the driver whip up.

Her hat fell off as she crossed Polk street, but Lord. she didn't care. she had barrels Of 'em at the hotel. l guess they had a clear street all the way.

When she came out she had on hel old loose dress and her mOcassins Ovei 1 her head was the same shawl she wore when she came out of the Klondyke. "Give me my medicine stones" she said to me. q want all of them." She seemed to feel so sore. wen out and drew S2,OOO in twenties ana 1 brought 'em to her in two sacks. She didn't need to tell me what was up
 She was going back to her own cOun- 1 try and her own people. She was sing 1 ing the song of her tribe-' Death or i the White TraiT'when I came in was going to stay in Frisco. That Wa. what Kate wanted, and what Kat
