4 RARE ANIMAL
Genuine Canadian Lynx Is Killed
Near F1andreau.

~Flandreau, Jan. 15.-While hunt
ing along the Big Sioux river, six
miles north of Flandreau. l.. La
Londe, a Moody county man. espied a
genuine Canadian lynx, which he was
able TO kill by a well directed shot.
How the animal came to stray this
far south from the Canadian north
west is unknown. The lynx was the
first ever killed in that section of
Moody county. The animal weighed
nearly twenty-five pounds and when
alive would stand as high as an or
binary dog. The head was shaped
much like that of a large. cat. except
ing that the tips of the ears were tuft-
ed with black fur. The animals legs
were extremely long. while the body
was heavily coated with a thick coat
of tawny colored fur.

indian Chief PASSES
MARTIN WHITEHORSE, CHIEF OF
CHEYENNE SIOUX, DIES AT
ADVANCED AGE.

Timber Lake, Jan. 15.-Martin
Whitehorse, the last chief OF the old
Cheyenne River Sioux Indians. head
band, died at the home of a grand
daughter near here on December 81.
He was about 10 years old, and al
though he leaves a number of grand
children and a widow. there are no
sons or grandsons TO bear the name
OF Whitehorse.
Whitehorse had been a leader of
the Cheyenne Sioux In his time, and
for many years had been friendly to
the whites. When the federal gov
eminent decided to remove the Chey-
enne Sioux from Fort Bennett TO
their present location IN the Chey-
enne river reservation, Whitehorse
was selected to choose the new loca-
ton, and il was he who located the
headquarters for the reservation on
the knoll where the reservation
agents office is located, the agency
being called Whitehorse, after the
chief. At the time of the first treaty
between the Cheyenne Sioux and the
BOfbI uHltut, III loOos nittuOLst WIS
one of the first Indians to cut off his
hair, in recognition of the new re-
gime, and in acceptance of the white
mans ways, though AT that time to
get a hair cut was deemed the height
Of disgrace by the Cheyenne Sioux
Indians.
Since about the year 1890, the
Whitehorse family had carried on a
pictorial history of the Sioux nation.
by burning upon wood tho leading
events in the Sioux history during the
life of the chronicler. With the death
Of Whitehorse, leaving no male des-
cendants, IL Is feared this custom will
die out.
Whitehorse was buried on January
8. Some suggested his interment in
the new cemetery, a mile and hall
from the town of Whitehorse, but
Paddy Miller. a relative, said. mo,
we will bury our chief on the hill
overlooking the agency which he To-
Gated over twenty years ago. There
we will still have our chief above us,
as we always have had, and where he
can continue to watch over us" And
so Ii was done.
During the Sitting Bull disturb
ance, Whitehorse was one of the few
Indian chiefs who refused to have
anything to do with the willy Sitting
Bull, and continued to remain true
to the treaty of '68, and to his friend
ship to the whites.

Of my servants to assist you in

Il was sent back by my master" be-
gan the stranger-who was none other
than Bartel, the latA successor to Ru-

He had left certain of his belong
ings-some silver cases of the toilet,
Monsieur lie Comte-he cid not trouble
to ask You about them, and now he
sent me-"
Indeed. That is most plausible!
But why seek for them in my rooms,

las to that" replied the other with
calm effrontery, Il cannot say. l only
came here because the servants told
me that this was the room. OF course,
if there has been any mistake"
Cease, l say" exclaimed Count
Frederick, frowning now, his face
flushing.
He turned from Roleau to the other
intruder in his apartments Roleau
stood dumb. The other shook his
head
Monsieur lie Comte," said he, "the
young woman was here when l en-
tered-when this man also entered.
She passed yonder-when she had the
opportunity-and took with her one
half the coin. There lies the other on
your floor She disappeared-we heard
q cry"
Count Frederick stopped and picked
Up the object pointed out to him. 1t
was his own half of the coin-or that
which he had called his own-since he
had taken it from her.
So then, he reflected, she had found
the way to his most secret hiding
place-she was on the very point of
success when this last contretemps
had interfered with her plans. A new
feeling Of admiration for her keen
ness and persistence once more came
to Count Fredericks heart. For a
moment he stood regarding half-re-
gretfully the bit Of metal in his hand
Il shall not offer this trinket to
you, my friend" said he grimly to
the man Bartel, as he pocketed the
coin, for Of course you were not look
ing for coins-only toilet articles-sil-
YER ones, did you say, sir? You shall
take back an excellent set of my own
to Count Sachio, with my compli-
ments. Tell him that it would seem
i'll to me that any guest of mine should
suffer risk of loss either to his person
or his property while he was beneath
my roof"
With these singing words. which
brought color to the others face,
Count Frederick turned coolly away,
and Cnce more faced Roleau. That
was in his face now which did not be-
speak remorselessness, revengeful-
ness. No, something softer lay in the
mans cool gray eyes,

terfeit-to pretend that have done
what I have not done"
"so7 And you cannot take such
good advice?"
mo, will not. To deceive, to pre-
tend. to counterfeit-those are attrib-
utes Of your kingdom, not OF my own
country, America. In my country we
have better standards-men and wom-
en- alike-for which heartily am
glad"
"You have . singing tongue, ma
demoiselle," said Count Sachio, red I'M
der his swarthy skin. Perhaps it will
grow milder If left unused. l shall
leave you here-untn you are willing
to say you are done with Gretzhoffen
and ready to return to your own coun-
try. This land. mademoiselle, can
keep its own secrets-it could even
close ever the secret of the disappear
ance Of a young woman-and leave
her fate a mystery. trust that you
will reconcfder what you have said"
A moment and he had left her once
more Before he passed through the
door she glanced beyond. The room
was occupied, apparently, by his
friends-escape on that side was i'm
possible.
The other door still remained fas-
tened. Kitty turned to 1t with bur
glarious intent-uslng an art learned
when she was a schoolgirl. With no
| better instrument than a hairpjn, she
had seen wonders done at opening
locks.
Her brisk interchange Of compli-
| ments with Count Sachio had set her
| pulses stirring once more. She want
ed to get out-she wanted to escape,
and she proposed to escape. Once
more free, she admitted to herself. she
would be willing enough to take the
| advice which but now she had
scorned-willing enough to take ship
back home, to see the familiar sky
line of her own city, to find her own
place back in the smoky and grimy
city. her own place in the hum and
grind Of the old newspaper. How
good 1t would seem to her now to see
the faces of the local room. They
might chaff her all they liked. Yes,
she would go back home.
And now, with schoolgirl finesse in
the employment of the small instru.
ment at her disposal, she succeeded
in her burglary. She felt the lock turn
at last-felt it Eive-saw that she
could open the door, She did open
ft-and closed it again.
Back of her she heard once more
the creak OF the other door as 1t
opened. She turned-to encounter
once more the figure of Count Sachio
He smiled at her as once more he
entered unannounced.

SEVENTH IMSTALLMENT
DiNiiad.
CHAPTER XIV.

Divided.
As Kitty approached the little room
OF the counts palace-which before
now had proved to be something Of a
storm center in the affairs of the Gretz-
hotfen cOin-there came to her the
conviction that there might be others
beside herself who would have some
inhling as to the whereabouts Of the
kissing portion Of the coin, and who
might therefore arrive upon the scene
at much the same time as that of her
own visit. She was not altogether
surprised at the sudden interruption
Of her labors, just at the moment OF
her success.
As she saw herself the object of a
poised weapon, she swerved aside in
stinctively-called out instinctively for
help.
"Roleau!' she exclaimed, for, WON
ankle, she had learned the value OF
strong mans arm, and her first
thought was Of the faithful servant
who so strangely had attached him
self to her own varying fortunes. And
fcleau came Fastening from his
watching place outside the door.
He saw the little room occupied by
man-who now suddenly had en-
tered-and who menaced Kitty, SO
that to save her life as she supposed,
she was on the point Of surrendering
to him both pieces Of the coin. The
sight Of his mistress in danger was
enough for Roleau. With his custom
airy battle cry he plunged imm ediately
into the conflict, careless of the threat.
enlng weapon. In the melee the two
half coins both were dropped upon the
floor.
Even now the ruling impulse of Kit
ty did not quite forsake her. She
stopped and regained one of the half
coins, but the struggling men, shifting
here and there in the room, kept her
from securing the other In the blind
instinct for escape she fed now to
the open hall, taking that direction
which led back from the front of the
building.
Roleau heard her pass, and could
not join her in fight-hut he heard
her give q cry Of alarm whose cause
he could only guess. His energies were
fully occupied by the combat With this
