what did he say, impatiently asked the
lawyer" "Quin lapsus es in mea lin
gua," came the interpreters reply, and
the stupefied cross examiner, unwilling
to admit his ignorance of the Latin, ex-
cused the witness from any further
animation. And thus the old school
triumphing over the new, had saved the
full blood from embarrassment.
The question of jurisdiction presented
many complex and difficult cases. I'm
der the Cherokee constitution, and stat
utes, only cases between citizens of the
Cherokee Nation could be tried in the
Cherokee courts. Grimes, or cases be-
tween citizen of the Cherokee Nation
and the United States, had to be tried in
the Federal courts. A case arose at
Tahlequah in the early days, where a
Cherokee citizen by blood killed a
Choctaw citizen by blood. The Cherokee
who did the killing, running away was
gone for some time, but as they in
variably do, he returned to his own hsb
itat. and went at the midnight hour to
consult W. P. Thompson about his case.
Mr.. Thompson quickly caught the jur-
isdictional point, and inquired of the
Cherokee in what court he thought he
ought to be tried. To which he re-

that for him to find otherwise, would be
a reflection upon the sense of the court,
and that he concurred in the argument of
the attorney for the defendant, admit
ting he had been convinced beyond all
reasonable doubt and forthwith ordered
the prisoner discharged.
Judge Richard Wolfe, who now lives
at Tahlequah, one of the last Chief
justices of the Cherokee Supreme Court,
was acting interpreter in the United
States Court of Judge Gill, when
promising young attorney (now upon
the Oklahoma bench), was engaged in
the cross examination of a full blood
witness. The examination had reached a
point where it was apparent the wit
ness was about to contradict some prior
statement, and the Jealous young prac-
TONER in feverish excitement, interro-
gated the witness as follows: Now
didn't you swear a moment ago just
the opposite of what you now say?'
The stolid old jurist whose service in
Cherokee courts had given him a SYM
pathetic understanding of a timid full
blood's plight in this strange court,
quickly seized this opportunity to pro-
tect the witness. The answer made in
Cherokee, was sArge lie der ster" after
which the interpreter paused well,

stumbled on, thinking only of getting
away When he came to the dim path
wav which led to the main road, he
gave a sort of sigh of relief and re-
doubled his speed. If he had not re-
strained himself he would have been
running, running like a coward because
he had seen man shot down. AT this
thought he checked himself and stood
still He stood so for several minutes,
striving to regain his comPosure. The
evening sounds were all about him, and
far away some cows were lowing. The
katydids were beginning to sing, and the
sunset glow fading fast. Here in
the woods it was twilight. When his
breath had stopped coming so quickly,
and his blood had ceased to flow so
swiftly, he walked forward, somewhat
composed. The trees made aisle for
his advance. In front of him the path
made an abrupt turning. and as he
rounded the curve he put out his hand
and touched the trunk of the tree which
made the deviation necessary. Then he
stopped short, with his fingers touching
the bark Before him his father was
sitting like a statue on his horse.
Another pony bridled and saddled was
straying off to the left crunching the
juicy grass as it strolled, and the very
last thing in this sudden picture was the
little heap of misery huddled on the
ground which he saw was Minnie.
For a long moment he stood motion
less, surprised at the unexpected sight,
and alarmed at the look in his parents
eyes.
Father he gasped, and smiled so as
to take away the feeling of strangeness.
When he spoke the old lines of tender
ness came back into his fathers face,
and he cried out in a loud voice:
My son, my son.
A new cry broke into their exclama-
tions. 1t was the voice of little Minnie.

She sat with her body raised and sup
ported on her arms, while her hands
were stretched out in front of her buried
in the grass. Her face, she recog-
nized Lewis James, and drank in the
wonder of his presence, was TRANSPORTED
by the light which comes only once to
the countenance of every person, the
light of total and enduring love.
When Lewis James saw that look his
soul seemed to leave it's body, and for
long moment he thought that he had
been killed and had entered heaven. He
forgot his father, who was clambering
down painfully to reach him. He forgot
about the execution; he forgot the woods
and the birds, and his very self, because
he could think of nothing beside the face
which was such little way off and was
looking such glory into his. He was
afraid to breathe lest the vision vanish,
but unconsciously his hands trembled
toward her, and at the slight gesture she
seemed to leap up and sweep toward
him. Before he could get his breath she
was on her knees in front of him cling
ing to his hands and pressing them to
her hot and tear-stained face. The feel
of her lips on his palms sent little quiv-
ers of delight over his whole body, and
with a cry of joy he lifted her up into
his arms and pressed his young cheek to
hers. Then the universe stood still to
celebrate the moment when he tasted her
lips.
Over her head, which was Struggled
against him, he suddenly encountered

fusedly although he did not release the
figure in his arms, but frightened his
arms about her.

jovial voice, he stood before his son,
while little dancing shadows of fun
twinkled in his eyes. "Ah, my son, you
die like a Choctaw, but you make the
love like a white man."
