PUNITIVE EXPEDITION
1t Is not expected here that
the sending of General Funston
after Villa will be construed by
the Carranzistasgss an invasion
of Mexico or as a step in inter-
vention, that administration be-
ing careful to make it plain that
the despatch of ,tthe American
troops win be as a punitive expe-
dition only. The rCarratlza gov.
eminent, however, has notified its
embassy here that q Carranza
force Of FIVE Thousand men win
also be despatched after Villa,
and the American and Mexican
armies are certain to meet in the
field in their joint pursuit of the
Villistas. IL
It was announced last night
that the government has DECIDED
against sending the navy 10 as
sist the army in the Mexican OPP
erations. Among the reasons for
this decision, it was said, is, the
desire to avoid seeming to anita
gonize Carranza, and thesadmin-
isration is anxious, to en1nhasize
its attitude that the expedition
is one to punish Villa and his
bandits and is not aime ], at the

 The wave came swiftly, lifting the skiffs high upon the bank. then it sucked them back amid a tangle of arms and legs. \ portion of the river bottom suddenly barred itself and as suddenly was submerged again.

he had committed the objectionable sin
of that day and that country; he had
stolen another mans horses. Twice be-
fore had these other eight men ridden in
to the capital when John Cohee the wear
er of the green leaf, had been stripped
and whipped for the grave offense, but at
the third breaking of the law, each knew
there was no reprieve. The crime must
be condoned by death. There was no 9TH
er way to pay. They had heard the SEN
tence passed and had seen the leaf pinn-
ed to young Cohee's bosom; Each knew
that in one month from that day the con-
demned man was to ride back to the
council house and with the leaf over his
heart stand up brave1y and like Choc-
taw, for the bullet which was to take
his life. In the meantime, he could come
and go and do as he pleased, free as any
other Indian who roamed the woods or
sat before his door in the summer gloam-
ing.
The horses had fallen into monoto-
nous jog, and the men were silent, the
condemned man sitting straight in his
saddle with his eyes fixed on the deep
wheel rut beneath him, which slid by
with fascinating twists On his face
there was less of concern than had fixed
itself upon the countenances of the 9TH
ers. His eyes did not hold the somber
light that gloomed in those of his COM
panions.
Then, at once and startling close there
sounded shot upon the air, which shiv-
cred the silence of the wood, like the
crash of breaking glass. The piebald
Indian ponies did not culver, but the
head of each man turned in the direction
of the sound. Presently, as If to reward
their curiosity, there came breaking
through the tangled creepers tall young
Choctaw with a gun across his shoulder
and a wild turkey hanging limp across
his arm, a magnificent black and bronze
bird with blood still dripping from
wound In the head. At sight of the men
on the horses the hunter stopped and his
eyes flew to the face of one of the men
in the front, Temple James, his father,
as il to ask the question which his lips
failed to form The fathers eyes soften
ed as he looked upon his son, but he
gave him no word of greeting
The hunters eyes travelled slowly from
his fathers face and fell upon that other
young man and the green leaf on his
breast told the story better than any
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1916-03-31

IL was mid afternoon The sandy
country road that made the highway
through this particular section of the
Choctaw country lay like an orange rib
bon, tangled in and out among the brown
boles of the trees, tapering to a fine gold
like thread over the green rise in the
distance. The big trees stood up sturdi-
~ and the sunlight filtering through
their leaves danced over the underbrush.
like golden fairies in the maze of some
mystic dance. 1t was very still and ex-
cePt for the far off baying of a hound
OF the occasional piping of a woodland
bird, the only sound was the mysterious
murmur of the trees as their tops sway
ed ever so lightly in the upper air. The
hurried scurryfngs of the little live
things in the strawberries and the mo-
notonous tapping of an Industrious wood
peelfer but merged themselves in the
general murmur that was never still but
gave the effect of a vast silence.
But soon a sound came family through
the distance, the muf1ed pad of horses
feet On the sand of the highway, and be-
fore long over the wooded mound a par
ty of Indian men came riding gravely,
frightening the woodpecker into short

while they seemed to be at home in the
saddle, there was no enthusiasm in their
bearing. Those who headed the caval-
cade were elderly men, with rounded
paunehes and fat, sagging cheeks. They
spoke to each other but seldom, and then
only in their own language and in SEN
fences as short as the Choctaw tongue
permitted. They answered each other
with grunts and mods. Behind them
were five other men, four Of them going
two by tive, with a stalwart young man
in the center of the road, riding with no
companion by his side. Each of these
men were in the habit of speaking to
each other in English, except in a cris-
is like this and then they invariably re-
verted to their own tongue, seeming to
derive strength and consolation from its
gutteral, interrogatory syllables.
The event Of today was one which did
not happen frequently, especially in their
particular part of the nation, and the day
was fraught with much meaning for each
of the riders For in their center there
rode a young man, with green leaf
pinned over his heart And the green
leaf, token of spring and gladness and
life, was to the Choctaw the symbol of
death. The men were returning from the
council house of the capital, and there
but a short time before the wearer of the
green leaf had been condemned to death

the many rocks which made a natural
protection for the walled-in spring, and
when Minnie saw the act she, too, sat on
rock SO that she might not SEEM lack
ing in courtesy. Then the two pair of
dark eyes met
The rounded lobe of the tall hill shut
them off from view of Minnie's home
which perched just on the other side of
the rise which was densely covered with
small trees and creepers. In the val
ley below them the cotton plants glisten4
ed olive in the sun and beyond the field
another wooded rise 1ured with magnif-
cent stretches of untitled wildness. The
air was clear and filled with the wine dis
titled from the heart of growing things
A little stray breeze from the top of the
hill stole down and firted with the sun
scorched rocks and the dust gray tan
gled grass, kissing the flushed cheeks of
the girl and the youth as they looked in
to each others faces. Without knowing
they did SO, both stood up.
Even in the excitment of the moment
however, when his arms were straining
to hold her and his heart was beating
so fast that he could hardly breathe and
his whole being was filled with the joy
VI hCA OiOoC pIcSeHC0, Ddck IN MS inner
consciousness there hammered the
thought that Minnie was not glad and
that her eyes held traces of tears.
But in the eternal exhuberance of
youth, young James thrust aside these
things and remembered only the wonder
Of his love for the girl. Minnie, Min
ME- he said at last and his voice rang
with the fervor of youth and love, "I
am here. You know why You see, l
love you You can read it in my eyes,
My hands are Shaking as the hand of a
young Choctaw never shakes except when
he struggles with love- Look into my
face, little birding and answer with
yours eyes"
His hands reached out to clasp her
and he had not the strength to draw
them back SO shaken was he, by the
mighty surge of feeling which swept
like a tide over his whole body, and made
of his habitual calm a raging volcano
of emotion. But even as his soul SCARED
into the heights, and he would have talk

words. The eyes of the youths met. And
one watching would have marvelled at
how alike they were, those two boys who
regarded each other so gravely. There
was the same straight frame taller than
the average Choctaw, the same brown
tinted face, with the long lines of health
and youth, and lacking the sagging flesh
which gave the older men the look of
grossness. The same open brow, and
firmly curved lips, and the same flashing
black eyes. The two did not cease to
look at one another until the rider had
gone too far to see without turning his
head. The hunter also kept his eyes on
the condemned youth until the little par
ty of horsemen had passed the turn in
the road and were hidden from his sight
Again it came to him, as it had so
many times before how much like him
self was the horse thief, John Cohee
The knowledge of this resemblance gave
him an inward pang and angered him at
the same time. But he did not dwell up
on it this afternoon and after a very
short pause, he crossed the road and
struck of through the trees with the
dead turkey dangling from his shoulder.
The elderly man riding in front by
Temples James side turned toward his
companion, when they had left the young
hunter behind, and made this enigmatic
remark.
IF 1t were your son Lewis with the
green leaf over his heart there would be
no need for the Choctaws to fear for
their honor"
Temple James said word in reply,
but the look on his face was the same as
IL he had acquiesced. Only the soft pad,
pad, of the ponies feet broke the silence
Minnie, STOPPING to fill her pail at the
old spring by the side of the hill, saw
sta1wart young James come striding to-
ward her out of the foliage of the trees,
but she pretended to be gazing only into
the cool, clear water when she heard his
footsteps behind her on the stones. The
green moss felt like softest velvet to her
fingers, and she let her hand press it lin
geringly as she drew up the dripping
bucket Then she turned and faced the
intruder, without rising from her knees.
AS she saw him looking down at her she
blushed, but her face went pale in a mo-
ment when she remembered how sad she
was Young James sat down on one of
