Gambling With Death.

Beyond giving his horse a safe head
way from the shelter, De Spain mad,

sen the Lady. not because she wa.
fresher, for she was not, but becaus,
he believed she possessed of the thre,
horses the clearest instinct to brin,
her through the fight for the lives tha'
were at stake. He did not DECEIVE him
self with the idea he could do anythin,
to help the beast find way to succor
that instinct rested wholly in the La
jdys head, not In his. He only knew
that If she could not get back to help
he could not. His own part In tn,
effort was quite outside any aid to tn,

alive whatever aid she could find. tina

her companion would endure a few
hours longer the fury of the storm.
His own struggle for life, he real

the maddened sky, challenging every

CHAPTER XXI.
At Sleepy Cat.

Nothing In nature, not even the
storm itself, is SO cruel as the beauty
of the after calm. In the radiance Of
the sunshine next day De Spain, deli
rious and muttering, was taken to the
hospital at Sleepy Cat. In an adjoin-
ing room lay Nan. moaning reproaches
at those who were torturing her reluc-
family back to life. Day and night the
doctors worked over the three. The
town, the division, the stagemen and
the mountain men watched the out
come of the struggle. From as far as
Medicine Bend railroad surgeons came
to aid In the fight.
De Spain cost the most acute anu-
ETY.. The crux of the battle, after the
three lives were held safe, centered on
the effort to save De SPANS arm-the
one he had chosen to lose, If he must
lose one, when he strapped 1t to the
whiffietree. The day the surgeons

The early American colonlsts adopt
ed certain dishes from the Indians,
among them samp, which Is coming
INTO popularity once again today. Roger
williams Is credited with having de-
scribed this as "Indlan corn beaten and
bolted and eaten hot or cold with milk
or butter" "Hominy" was the term
applied to maize boiled with alkali,
which removed the outer skin Of the
grain, leaving the inner part soft and
good to eat. "Hoe cake" popular with
the negroes of the South, Is said to
have been adopted 'from the Indians
who once inhabited that section Of the
United States.

Generally speaking, says writer In
the Wide World Magazine, a Soudan-

marriage laws vary considerably among
different tribes, though all have much
In common. A man buys his wife. or
rather gives the value agreed upon
cash In prosperous towns like Omdur-
man. and cattle and grain In the coun-
try. Half Of the amount Is usually hand
ed over to the brides people before
marriage. and Is spent on wedding fes-
uvlties; the remainder Is paid by in
stallments. You get your wife, In short,

price of wife varies considerably. In

TODD, wife costs from SIS to $3.50, or
even more. There Is no restriction up-
on the number of wives man may
have; wife is regarded as so much
personal property, and valued accord

BACK FROM MEXICO
Charles Warner Returns Broke and
Wants Job.

The suffering of Americans in Mex
leo came a little nearer home today
when Charles Warner came back to
his boyhood home in an effort to seek
his livelihood as an interpreter. He
applied for work today at the city
hall.
His family has been wiped out, a
comforta BILE fortune has gone and
Warner was obliged to seek shelter for
a few months at the National Military
home at Leavenworth. AS he stood
talking with officials in the city hall
he saw William Noight. 1119 East
Sixth avenue, with whom he had gone
to Lincoln school twenty years ago. He
recognized Voight instantly.
Warner served in the Spanish
American war and then went to Mexi-
CO near the City of Mexico, where he
esta bished a ranch. He sold nearly
all the polo ponies used in the country
and many of the horses used by Diaz's
special bodyguard- Everything was all
right until the Wilson administration
came in. Things went from bad to
worse and finally Warner lost every
thing. Then his wife was killed while
riding a horse. He thinks Villa is one
of the best in the bunch of Mexicans.
He went to Columbus. n NJ. to join
the army but became i'll and was oblig-
ed to go to the Leavenworth home

the low library levy is Goodland- Gov
ernor Capper today received letter
from Gcodland library officials in
which they stated that the law did
not permit sufficient levy to meet
obligations. The levy permitted sec
ond class cities for library purposes is
.004 mills. Goodland people have
asked the governor to urge an amend
ment to the law which will enable
towns to double the levy and meet
their obligations under Carnegie con-
tracts
The Carnegie library contracts call
for the payment to the library fund of
one-tenth of the donation each year
Reports have indicated that a number
of the towns failed to make good their
pledge. AS a result Carnegie threat
ened TO withdraw aid to Kansas towns.
Letters were sent to various library
associations by Governor Capper and
effort will be made to restore the
state to good standing.

Move, Is Champion Neutral.

Washington, Jan. 2.-King AL
phonzo of Spain, by fatty refusing to
participate in President Wilson's note
to the belligerents, is believed by al
lied diplomats today 10 have become
the most likely ultimate peacemaker.
1T is known that Alphonzo was in
formed that the allies would not re-
gard peace move favorably at this
time. just as President Wilson was in
formed thru the American diplomats
abroad.
AlphonZo now stands out as the
leading neutral of the world. who can
undertake peace negotiations with a
free hand and without complications
Wilson was strongly urged by his ad-
visers in allied countries not to make
a move at this time that might be in
terpreted as a peace overture. Such
action, he was told. would serve to
lessen his strength as a possible me-
diator in the future. This has been
accumulated thru the reports that
Germany knew in advance of Will
sons intention and succeeded in turn
ing his action to the benefit of the CEN
trail powers by issuing a peace note
just ahead of it
Allied diplomats. reading the note
of Spain in reply to Wilson's propos-
ais, say there is no doubt that Al
phonzo had clearly in mind a desire
to keep his hands free for future ac-
ton when the time is more Opportune
