swooned dead away. Barton placed
the babe In safe position In its
blanket, and told the little girl to
i stay there and watch her mother.
Twenty steps brought. the aviator in
full view of the outlaw camp. A vivid
picture halted, appalled, him. A group
OF men were gathered near camp
fire, and over branch of great tree
close at hand ran a rope. One end
encircled the neck Of man with
arms and feet tightly bound.
why! Why! Why!" shouted out
Nelson Barton In three tones of rising
horror, ut is my friend. my partner.
Elwyn Moore! Stop! Stop!" he
screamed. rushing forward and wav-
Ing his arms wildly.
Half dozen rifles covered him in
an instant, but he never halted.
Straight up to the outlaw leader he
dashed.
whats this?" fiercely challenged
that person. keen suspicion In his
swarthy face.
This is my friend" proceeded Bar
ton, pointing to Moore.
"Oh. maybe you're another detec-
tive. chr" demanded the outlaw.
"Detective? Why, we are airmen."
"And found a new way to sneak
into our district where we shoot
strangers on sight? Here, boys, tie
this one, tool"
Suddenly the outlaw turned. The
little girl had followed Barton. Now,
arms outstretched, she came into
view.
MARY, little Mary!" gasped the
outlaw. "How did you come here?'
Il brought her. said Burton quick
ly; your wife and baby, too. They
are back near the spring. The Dolli-
vers have raided your homes, and"
A cry of rage went up from the
rough crowd. The strangers were for
a moment forgotten. The woman and
babe were brought into the camp.
Then there were rapid explanations.
Half Of the men sprang to their
horses, and with direful threats swept
north to add another sanguinary chap
ter to the great Dolliver family feud.
The outlaw chieftain came back to
the camp fire with tears In his eyes,
and gentle as a lamb. Instantly
Moore was released. He overwhelmed
Barton with thanks. He learned the
real mission of the aviators In that
forbidden district
-Four of YOU" he shouted to his
men, get to Shelbyville fast as you
can, and bring back fifty gallons of
gasoline. II the town is asleep. shoot
1t up. Be back by daylight. These
friends of ours must be back to their
airship and the rest of US on the trail

ASK him to give me my trophy"
whispered Moore to his friend.
Your trophy"
ened to that tree yonder. These illit-
crate fellows can't read, and insisted
that the badge was that of secret
service detective"
The trophy, plus one deep bullet
dent, was returned to it's owner with
apologies.
The airship made brilliant non
stop fight, almost beating the record.
A guest at the Barton home, Elwyn
Moore had the coveted chance to pre-
sent himself and his trophy to pretty
Mabel Barton.
She admired 1t, and it's owner as
well. The result was natural. The
trophy became family heirloom. 1t
was not only reminder Of the skill
of it's owner, but of that weird hour
in the moonshiner's camp when the
loyal Nelson Barton arrived lust in

BAND ENTERThINS

The band of the Ninth Cavalry reg
iment has come, and has been heard
and conquered. East Turner hall on
Wednesday night was well filled de-
spite the unexpected snow flurries
which kept hundreds away. At $50,
with precision and promptness which
bespoke their military training, Direc-
tor Wade Hammond opened his pro-
gram and until 10 o'clock sent the
wild echoes flying with brilliant sal
vos of gorgeous music and soothed
the sentler zephyrs with melody such
as no band has surpassed in this city
There were many real music lovers,
connoisseurs OF music, in the audience
whose praise is unstinted. They
played classical music such as pass
ages from II Trovatore, Traumerei
and the like and then added a meas
ure OF well known harmonies and
popular music.
After the concert the floor was
cleared for dancing and until > o'clock
the hall undulated with harmony
while the dancers were waited about
on the wings OF the MUSES.. Denver
acclaims this one event the greatest
of its kind and not a regret except
that it is over All those who were
not present but have heard of it
though those that attended, will feel
keen disappointment that they have
missed this wonderful evening of mu-
sic. While at this time there is no
intimation that such will be, yet it is
evident that should the band ever re-
turn to Denver the hall will easily be
crowded with twice Wednesday

HERO OF THE REVOLUTION.
Robert shur.iiH Was In Reality Deb
orsh Gsnnets as Soldier.
BY JOHN EDWARD BRUCE.

II may not be generally known. yet
1t is historical fact. that Robert
Shurtliff. who served in the Revolu-
ton as soldier and rendered distin-
guished service TO the canse. was
woman whose name was Deborah Gan
nett SO it would seem that Captain
Molly Pitcher Is not the only heroine
of the Revolution. The Negro race
can claim at least one. The evil
dence OF the racial identity of Robert
ShurtliT, alias Deborah Gannett. is
thus attested In an extract from the
resolves OF the general court OF Massa-
chusetts during the session of 1901:
Resolved. on the petition of Deborah
Gannett granting her f3i for services in
ihs SonissSptsl amy jan. =; ~: .s,,. on IN ,he
compensation FOR services performed in
the late army % the United States
Whereas. Il appears to this court that
the said Deborah Gauuttt enlisted under
the name OF Robert shurtlin in Captain
Wcbb's company in the Fourth Nassachu-
sets regiment on May % l7S1 and did
actually perform the duty OF n colder In
the late army OF the United States to the
Id day OF October l7sS, for which she has
received no compensation. and.
Whereas 1t further appears that the
said Deborah exhibited an extraordinary
instance OF female hcroism by dischargtng
the duties OF faithful. gallant soldier and
at the same time preserving the virtue
and chastity OF her sex unsupported and
unblcmish.d and was discharged from the
service with n fair and honorable charac-
ter; therefore,
Resolved That tho treasurer OF this
commonwealth Is directed to issue his note
to the said Deborah for the sum OF sSi.
bearing interest from oct. ,, l5S.-From
NelIs Colored Patriots Of the Revolution
Had Deborah Gannett, alias Robert
Shurtin. been white woman no such
action would have been taken by the
general court of Massachusetts to com
pensate her for gallant services rem
dered in behalf OF her country, but.
being instead slave, it was necessary
for the court to take this action both
because of the exceptional character
OF the claim and Of the fact that the
claimant was of the Negro race and
slave who bad helped to win victories
for the United States army in its strug-
gle against Great Britain by perform
ing many deeds of hcroism as n soldier
which the court could not fail to rec
ognizc
Her sex and her color combined
doubtless induced the court more than
anything else to put itself on record in
favor of a pension of f34. Despite her
environments she was II chaste wom-
an and a good soldier. Does not this
speak well for Negro womanhood at
that early periody
There were some Deborah Gannctts
in the late war of the rebellion. They
all did not shoulder muskets, but they
played no uuimportant part in the
great drama which eliminated In the
birth of great nation. And there
may yet be living Yankee soldiers who
can testify to the loyalty, courage and
fidelity of the black woman of the
south to the cause of the Union.
