He had set it all out in talr parable,
so now as he rode he repeated some OF
the verses. chanting them and marking
time with his fOrehnger, while Nigel
and Awkward on either side OF him with
their heads inclined inward listened with
the same attention, but with very dill
ferent feelings Nigel shocked at such an
attack upon authority, and Awkward
chuckling as he heard the sentiments OF
his class so shrewdly expressed. At
last the stranger halted his horse outside
the Five Angels at Cation.

that Dream of Piers the Plowman which
l have recited to you, the last verses
were thus:

Nay" said Nigel, I'VE must on our
way, for we have far to go. But give
me your name, my friend, for indeed We
have passed a merry hour listening to
your words"
Have a Care!" the stranger answered,
shaking his head. You and YOUR class
will not spend a merry hour when these
words are turned into deeds and Peter
the PlOwman grows weary of swinIIng
in the fields and takes up his bow and his
staff in order to set this land in order"
BY Saint Paul, l expect that we
shall bring Peter to reason and also those
who have put such evil thoughts into his

the Pilgrims Way. At Titsev It was
said that band of villeins were out in
Westerham Wood and had murdered
three men the day before; so that Nigel
had high hopes Of an encounter. but
the brigands showed no sign, though the
travellers went out of their way TO ride
their horses along the edges of the forest.
Farther on they found traces of their
work, for the path ran along the hillside
at the base of a chalk quarry, and there
IN the cutting a man was living dead.
From his twisted limbs and shattered
frame II was easy to see that he had been
thrown over from above, while his
pockets turned outward showed the
reason for his murder. The comrades rode

Then besides the men of the church
there we're the men of trade, the merchant
in dusty broadcloth and Flanders hat
riding at the head of his line of pack
horses. He carried Cornish tin, West
country wool, or Sussex iron if he traded
eastward, or if his head should be turned
westward then he bore with him the
velvcts of Genoa, the ware of Venice,
the wine of France, or the armOr of Italy
and Spain Pilgrims were everywhere,
poor people for the most part, plOdding
YEARLY along with trailing feet and
bowed heads, thick slaves in their hands
and bundles over their shoulders. Here
and there on a gailv caparisOned paltrey,
or in the greater luxury of hOrSe-htter,
some West country lady might be seen
making her easy way to the shrine of
Saint Thomas
Besides all these a constant stream of
strange vagabonds drifted along the
road minstrels who wandered from fair
to fair, foul and pestilent crew; jugglers
and aCrobatS, quaCk doctors and tooth
drawers, students and beggars, free
workmen in search of better wages, and
escaped bondsmen who would welcome
any wages at all. Such was the throng
which set the old road smoking in a haze
of white dust from Winchester to the
narrow sea.
But of all the WavfarerS those which
interested Nigel most were the soldiers.
Several times they passed little knots
of arCherS or men-at-armS, veterans from
France, who had received their discharge
and were now making their way to their
southland homes. They were half drunk
all of them, for the wavfarers treated
them to beer at the frequent inns and ale
stakes which lined the road, so that they
cheered and sang Justify as they passed
They roared rude pleasantries at Awkward,
who turned in his saddle and shouted his
opinion of them until they were out of
hearing.
Once, late in the afternoon. they over
took a body of a hundred archers all
marching together with two knights riding
at their head. They were passing from
Guildiord Castle To- Reigate Castle, where
they were in garrison. Nigel rode with
the knights for some distance and
limited that if either was in search of
honorable advancement or wished to
do some small deed. or to relieve himself
of any vow, it might be possible to find
some means of achieving it, They were
both, however. grave and elderly men.
intent upon their business and with no
mind for fond wayside adventures, so
Nigel quickened his pace and left them
behind.
They had left Boxhill and Headlev
Heath upon the left, and the towers of
Reigate were rising amid the trees in
front of them, when they overlook a
large CHEEKY, red-faced man, with
forked beard, riding upon a good horse
and exchanging a nod or a merry word
with all who passed him. With him they
rode nearly as far as Bletchinglev. and
Nigel laughed much to hear him talk:
but always under the raillery there was
much earnestneSs and much wisdom in
all his words. He rode at his ease about
the country, he said. having sufficient
money to keep him from want and to
furnish him for the road. He could

WICKuFFS c AUGHT AGAIN
This Time in the Cherokee Hills
Fight Occurs

Muskogee, /. 7. May I4.-Chief
Red Bird with a posse Of eight Ind
ians has captured the Wickliff gang
of murderers and thieves in tie
Cherokee hills. A fight follow
but the result is not known. Tai
news was brought to Muskos
to-day by courier who arrived on
windbroken horse which he had
ridden hard eighteen hours. What
was the outcome of the battle or
whether any men were killed or
injured the courier could not state.
He had been instructed to ride to
Muskogee and notify the author
tiles that the Indians had trailed
the outlaws to earth.
The courier states that one of the
Wickliffs was seen and trailed by
the Indian posse until the camp Of
the gang was discovered. The
courier is of the opinion that the
outlaws were driven from their
hiding place, thougnof this he i.
not certain.
The Wicklitfs murdered two
deputy United States marshals
Gilstrap and Vier, several months
ago. White posses were unable to
locate them in the wild country to
which they fed. The Indians who
live in the Cherokee hills were
friendly to the murderers and had
given them shelter and food while
refusing them to the officers. When
Red Bird offered to take eight Ind
ians and go out and get the Wick
lifts, government officials were at
first loathe to grant him the COM
mission. They feared that the
plan was a ruse Of the Wickliffs to
give them time for fight. Finally,
however, Red Birds offer was ac-
cepted. This is the irst that has
been heard OF him in some weeks.

BURGLARS GET BUSY
AIT ElReno The Squad is Probably
Working this Way

Within the last week epidemics
Of burglaries have been reported at
Guthrie, Shawnee and ElReno.
The sqmad is probably working
this way and it will be well to look
out for them. The ElReno Amer
ican gives the following account Of
their operations in that city:
Saturday night Burglars entered
the Globe store from the rear and
got away with between four and
five hundred dollars worth of silks
and some fine skirts. Entrance was
effected by cutting panel from
the back door and turning the key
which was left in the lock.
The thieves seem to know just
what they wanted, for nothing but
the very best silks and skirts were
disturbed. They also got about
four dollars in small change. There
is no clue to their identity.
The same night the back door
lof the Elk's home was opened in
the same manner and twenty-five
dollars taken from the secretary S
desk. They also secured the por-
ter's watch"

CARL SCHURZ THE GREAT GER
MAN AMERICAN PASSES AWAY
AT ADVANCED AGE
GREAT IN PEACE AND IN WAR
Soldier, Statesman Editor and Reached
Fame in Ala Checkered
Life

New York, May I4.-Carl Schurz,
widely known as publicist, and
former cabinet member. died at his
home in this city at 4:35 o'clock
this morning. Death was due to a
complication Of diseases following
an attack Of stomach trouble,
which became acute on Thursday
last. In spite of brief periods Of
seeming improvement. Mr.. Schurz
failed, and yesterday sank into
state OF coma, which continued I'M
til the end.
Forced to fee from the land of
his birth before he had attained ais
majority, Carl Schurz soon became,
and for more than half a century,
remained one Of the striking figures
in the public life of the land of his
adoption. Born in the village of
Libeiar, near Cologne, in 1909,
Schurz became interested in Ger
many while attending the nni-
-versity Of Bonn and when the up
rising came in I84e he served as a
private in the ranks of the insur
gents. He was with General Tide
man when the latter surrounded
the fortress Of Rastadt in July of
that year and made an almost
miraculous escape through the
sewer connections with the Rhine
and fed to Switzerland. A year
later he returned to Germany, un-
der an assumed name, for the pur-
pose Of liberating his friend, Pro-
fessor Kinkel.
Soon after his marriage Schurz
came TO this country, locating first
at Philadelphia. Three years later
he removed to Wisconsin, allied
himself with the Fremont force in
the campaign, and took part in the
campaign Of the following year.
During the succeeding twenty
years he was one Of the prominent
figures in the political history of
the country. He went to Spain as
United States minister ia 1861
late- resigning to return and serve
in the Civil war, during which he
earned the title Of major general.
In 1869 he was elected to the Unit
ed States Senate from Missouri,
being the first German born citizen
to become a member of the upper
house Of Congress. In the mean
time he had engaged 10 newspaper
work both at Washington and in
the west md had transferred his
residence from Wisconsin to Miss
ouri, where he became joint pro-,
prietor Of the Westliche Post in St.
Louis, being associated with Emil
Pretorius. His career in the SEN
ate was a brilliant one. BY his
unswerving course in support Of in
dependent principles, however, he
became estranged from the republi-
can party, with which he was then
identified, and retired from the
Senate In 1875.
His public service did not come
TO an end at that time by any
means. Many of the independent
political movements since have felt
the weight Of lis influence and
gained the benefit Of his active CO.
operation. He was one of the

AS TO STATEHOOD PROSPECTS,
CONGRESSMAN MURPHY HAS
THE BLOOZ OVER 1T
Mr.. ELLIS STILL HOPEFUL
Friends Of Statehood viii. Exert all
Possible Pressure to Win Out
in one Fight.

Washington, May I4.--There is
deal Of uncertainty yet in reference
to statehood and the attitude of
Speaker Cannon is yet in doubt.
Friends Of Oklahoma who favor
the omnibus bill as an administra-
measure, but who would be glad to
see Oklahoma admitted in any
event. still express faith in the
alleged promise Of the speaker to
give them a chance before the ses-
sion ends, but are still on the anxious
seat.
The senate is not disturbed over
the situation because its course has
been fair to all the territories. That
is the position maintained by both
the Foraker and Beveridge factious
but in the house a large majority
is kept under the whip Of the
speaker.
| EVERYBODY is looking to the end
of the railroad rate bill with hope
that the statehood conferees will do
business.
I'm my opinion statehood is
dead" This statement is made by
Congressman Murphy. And he
adds. mot only dead for this ses-
sion but possibly for next session
or this entire congress.
Mr.. Murphy says It square out
and does net dodge about it. The
usual plan is to give information
but not consent to use Of name.
There are many in this class Of
keeping under cover. They also
have terrible fears. F." Especially
is this true Of the Missouri and
Kansas republicans in the house
who could have passed the senate
statehood bill when it came back
from that end of the capital. But
Under the direction of President
Roosevelt and the pie counter threat
they voted against statehood and
now begin to suspect that they
have been "fooled." All claim to
have really believed the. president
would keep his promise and finally
pass the bill. They got it from
Speaker Cannon who was a COM
mon carrier from the president,
Now it appears that the beef trust
fake and other double-cross plays
have the right Of way and state
hood is to be smothered according
to duplicity plan, So believe the
members who voted against it and
the are now to 60 home and tell
the people that the president misIed
them.
This is the feeling now and those
who voted against statehood are in
trouble. They are working for the
bill just now. They fear the pie
counter cannot satisfy the people
and that the people will refuse to
be pleased by the excuse offered.
Because OF the possible close.
ness Of the coming congressional
campaign, and the fact that the
six representatives from the propos-
ed new state of Oklahoma would
be democrats. it is not likely that
there will be any statehood bill at
this session Of congress, said Sam
Powell, who has been interested in
