KEPT PENN TREATY FRI
INDIANS SAID TO HAVE PRE-.
SERVED DOCUMENT.
Westerner Declares He Has II In His
f. Possession and Has Offered to
Present 1t to the City of
Philadelphia.

What Is represented to be the In.
dian copy of the treaty of friendship
between William Penn and the In
dams, made under the elm tree, has
been offered to Wilfred Jordan, cura-
tor OF independence hall, for inspec-
ton, and he is daily expecting it's ar
rival from Frederick M. Hans, Lone
STAR" Indian scout, of Kansas, the
Philadelphia Inquirer says.
Whether it can stand the fire of his
torical criticism to which it will be
subjected from Curator Jordan re-
mains to be seen, but he said that he
would feel chargeable with inexcus-
able neglect as city official if he
had not met the offer with a warm in
terest and anxiety to give the owner
every fair opportunity to prove the
genuineness Of the relic. Incidentally,
1t raises the question:: "Where is the
white mans original copy Of the Penn
treaty. if there was one, if it was not
left OF record only in the recording an
gels book?
Mr.. Jordan said there was no reason
to doubt the good faith of the man
who offered the Indians copy Of the
treaty at any rate, whether it turns
out to be copy or only the Indians
original chronicle of the event or a
reproduction of that chronicle after
the original wore out.
The possessor is Frederick M. Hans,
or Lone STAR" Kansas plainsman
and Indian scout. His own account of
the matter sent to Philadelphia is as
follows:
1T is a little piece of buckskin,
eight inches by twelve inches, old,
soiled with long handling, the figures
half effaced. 1t was given to Freder-
lex M. Hans by one of the squaws of
Sitting Bull. 1t contains leafess
tree, which is said to record the fall
as the time of the making of the
treaty. Every dot among the feet OF
the figures represent year since the
treaty was made. In 1878, when Hans
obtained possession of it, it contained
1876 dots. Sitting Bull was the chief
medicine man Of the Sioux and keep
er OF the records of the nation. The
Sioux tribe was largely recruited from
the Lenni Lenape Indians, with whom
Penn made the famous treaty. Other
Indian chronicles in Hans possession
give the account of the rise of the
Sioux. They say a mighty warrior
arose and cut the threats of 100 Mi
amis. Sioux, meaning, according te
this Interpretation, cutthroat warriors
deserted the Lenni Lenapes, and they
carried with. them the Penn treaty
chronicle on buckskin, which was
handed down to Sitting Bull"
I'VE will see what it is, at any rate,
said Curator Jordan, "and if it's wha
it purports to be Philadelphia is the
place for it. Mr.. Hans has had some
negotiations with the Smithsonian in
stitution at Washington, but whether
they have ever had it under careful
examination or not we do not know.

came the usual result. A pretty wife,
ruined many a man, and so in Pal
graves case. TO give his wife her
every desire was not honestly within
his power, and-well, he denied her
nothing. Things went on for nearly
six years, and then the crash came,
and he was sentenced to five years
penal servitude for embezzlement. But
for the disgrace, he would willingly
have suffered thrice this sentence, if
only his wife had benefited by it, and
have gone to prison with light heart
If only their home was secure.
But what would be her reception
now his time was over? The thought
had held him sleepless for the past
week, and it harried him now. Would
she receive him plying, forgetful, or
would she spurn him scornfully as a
cur? He watched the gray walls grad
ually tighten, and as he asked himself
the question the shifting shadows
formed strange shapes upon the wall,
and the shapes seemed to laugh and
gibe at him as he tossed upon his
plank. Unable to bear it longer he
flung himself to his feet and paced up
and down with feverish steps, brood
ing over it with such miserable per-
sistency that when his name was
called and the prison gate changed be-
hind him he half regretted his free
dom.
He made his way furtively through
the streets, watching the passersby
with half-shut eyes, thinking every
one knew of his offense and whence
he had just come.
The day was fearfully long. It
seemed as though it would never end.
He watched one shadow for an etern-
ity, but it never seemed to length
en-, and the sun seemed always fixed
over one tree. At last, when twilight
commenced to gather back behind the
lake, it seemed years since he entered
the gates.
And, now it was dusk, should he go
in his mind in doubling despair. With
narrowing clearness, he recalled the
proud poise of her head and the scorn-
full curl of her lip as she turned from
the witness-box the fearful day of his
sentence. He had sinned for her, and
she spurned him for his folly. But,
after all, perhaps, there was hope for
him. The years may have softened
her, and she may have forgiven him
ay, and perhaps she might even wei
come him back.
It had now grown quite dark, and
with this hope gradually growing
stronger, he Strengthened himself with
a steady resolve to risk all and see
what came of it.
At length he arrived at the little
house his wife had taken when the
crash came. He halted for moment,
and leaned upon the ratings. The low
er part Of the house was well lighted,
and a genial warmth seemed to come
through the raised lattice of the
blinds. Then came the notes of a pi-
ano, and q child's voice burst forth In
a trivial little song. * Ais

hands clenched upon the ratings until
the iron heads bit into his palms, and

''ace at his own fireside. with his wife
sitting opposite him crocheting, while
lis sunny-faced little girl poured forth
her songs in merry thoughtless glee.
He gulped quickly to c1ear>his throat,
and, approaching the door, knocked
softly. No answer came, and after a
moment he knocked again, louder.
There came footsteps; the door was
opened, and his wife stood before him.
as she recognized him by the light Of
the hall lamp her features changed,
and cold, hard look came into her
eyes,
"Madge!" he said.
"You!" she answered scornfully. $50
you've come back! What do you
want?"
Her words struck him like a blow,
and he drew back a step from the
door.
"Madge, don't for heavens sake,
don't turn me away! Haven't I suf-
fered enough for my fault? Have you
no greeting for me?"
"Greeting! What greeting can I
have for felon? AS you have sown,
so must you reap. Haven't you
brought sufficient shame and misery
upon me? I thought you had passed
out of my life forever"
"Madge, have mercy! You know the
cause of my offense and how bitterly
| have paid for it! You knoN-but
good heavens! how can you know?
How can you imagine the horror OF
that fearful prison, shut up with the
vilest of the earth, working like a
slave under the whip by day and
pacing my cell like Gagged animal by
night. I had shamed you before the
world, and atoned for it with tears
of blood. Won't you forgive me
Madge?"
What! and take you back into my
home-into that room where my child
is sitting, innocent that the world
! holds such beings as you?"
Our child, Madge!"
My child, I say. Do you think
let her know her father was a felor
working out his just sentence in g
prison cell? No, no; my child's father
is dead, as my husband died when the
prison gates closed on him.
She stood with her hand upon the
door, as if to close it. He looked a.
her despairingly, and as he saw his
hopes of happiness drifting away from
him he flung himself at her feet.
"Madge, Madge, for our child's sake
don't drive me back there! Can't 20,
forgive me? Take me back and hell
me in my fight to be an honest man
| I will slave for you and Maisie while
heaven gives me breath, and with 20,
to back me can still hold up my heat
| and face the world. But If you spur
me. what is before me but the jail?"
He tried to take, her hand, but sh'
pushed him back with her foot.
Col" she said, pointing to the gate
Go, and never let me see you again
| You have sown and you must reap. M.
house is my home, and you shall no
sell it. 60, say-go!" She stampe'
her foot and pointed to the gate, and
rising, he went down the path withou
, word.
Slowly he walked up the road, hi
shoulders sloping and his arms hang
| ing loosely at his Sides He saw
p" liceman by street lamp, and Stun
furtively into the roadway. Then, GU
0: the corner of his eye, he saw
portly gentleman approaching with
'aVy gold chain across his vest

not?"
In moment he had snatched tn
chain and then stood still as he hear
the policeman's hurried footsteps be
hind him; and that night the prise:
gates closed upon him once more.
