Perhaps Tanta was right. She had
an unpleasant way of being frequent

The girl returned his greeting,
She had a racking headache, but
said nothing about it. She was at
all times gentle and patient, and
even gave the impression that she
was calmly satisfied. On the other
hand, nothing about her suggested
that she had any desire to break
down the barrier between them.
Sometimes she thought lot about
the barrier and more about the man
beyond, but she never analyzed such
thoughts. They were somehow mix
ed with general regret, and only
came to her in that loneliness which
Tanta had warned her master of

to be otherwise.
The girl smiled calmly
"Ah!" Tanta has been drawing
your attention to some imaginary
ailment of mine. I thought / heard
her talking to you as / came along

Ferman ignoredI the lightness of

The man was not satisfied, but
her tone was conclusive, and the
meal progressed in silence for some
minutes. Presently he looked up.
He had been debating certain things
in his mind.

"Oh, anywhere. Perhaps l shall

decides should marry English no

and afterwards mistaken by the
manager of the store as Scotland

the place of Schniff and is ire

LIES TRIUMPHS.

LIE hlO
Each has one grand day; the clouds
may lie
Along the hills and storm winds
flercely blow
The great red sunshine like a thing
of woe
And Deaths sad skeleton stalk grim
ly by;
Yet none of these, no matter how
they try,
Can shroud the perfect triumph we
shall know,
Or dim the glory that some star will
show,
Set far away in oeptns of purple
sky.
Sweet love may bring to us this
day supreme,
oh it may thrill our souls through
art or song,
Or meet us where red battle surges
foam;
Hopes stranded wrecks the barren
coasts may CLEAN,
And weeks ami months dash by, a
somber throng,
But some time, somewhere, it will
surely come.

A SOLDIER OF THE LORD.
Big JObu Stout, Notable Indian, Talks
Interestingly OF Conversion.


"Me no soldier Uncle Sam
now. Belong to Army of the
Lord-soldier Of Jesus Christ"
That was what Big John Stout,
one of the most noted Indians Of
that part Of Oklahoma, said to
Rev, P. Fl. Wilkerson Of Airing
ton, superintendent Of the Amer
lean Sunday School Union for
the Southwest, who has just
closed a successful revival over
at Oglesby, Okla. Mr., Wilker'
son returned home last Friday
and reported good meeting over
there, with a number of conVer'
sions, some of them well known
Indians. He had organized
Sunday school there before and
found it lourishing and its work
made a revival easy,
Among the converted Indians
there, now devout Christians, is
Big John Stout. Big John is not
only big in name and former
deeds, both Of bloody war, with
dangling, CORY scalps, but also
Of goodly deads in Uncle Sans
service as a scout; but he is
equally az big in avoirdupoise,
Big John Stout, like Bill Arp's
Georgia Big John, is huge in
bulk and in heart. Brother VIII
kerson had to ask him about his
former bloody life, and why he
soalped his enemies, Big John
Stout replied;
"Meat; meat for squaws and
papooses," p" lapsing into his old,
wild vernacular, "Osages hated
my people. Wife and children
must have meat. We go to get
buffalo, Osages get buffalo, too
!
Plenty for all. But Osages hate
US, and want all buffalo for them
selves, and none for US. They
try to kill Us, maybe kill some.
We kill 'um and scalp heap
Usage. Meat--meat. M u t
have meat. No scalp good In
dian; no scalp good paleface.
Scalp mean Usage and get meat
for squaws and papooses. Then
me good Indian, join United
States, Big Father at Washing
ton good to Big John Stout. Me
join army as scout. Become sol"
dier Uncle Sam. Now me SOL
dier Of Jesus Christ, and belong
to army Of Lord. Me try to live
good Indian, go to heaven when
die. Ugh! Have plenty meat
now--happy, happy, happy"
And there was a suspicion Of
moisture around the eyes Of Big
John Stout, the smiling Indian
Christian,
And it is worth all it costs TO
take the gospel TO the Indians
