the freight showed the malignant, tri-

DECLARED HIMSELF AT ONCE
Of Near Future and Gave Wife
Due Warning.

Visitors to Central park the other
day saw a new angle of the family
pet out for an airing, reports the New
York correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. A young woman was out
with her variegated parrot. The bird
stalked majestically about the lawn,
but quickly came back and perched on
the young woman's finger whenever
she called. His comings and goings
to and from the finger gave the parrot
its prescribed exercise, whether it
wanted it or not.
The young woman didn't seem to
mind the crowd that gathered about
to watch. In fact she seemed rather
proud of the attention she and the
bird were attracting. Jiggers, whose
family pet is dog, happened along
with his wife and stopped to look.
Il suppose the next thing" he re-
marked to his wife, will be that I'm
to take the canary up TO the park for
walk. Right here l announce the
answer: Nothing doing"

EARLY MORN

SYNOPSIS.-To the Kentucky
wilderness outpost commanded by
Jerome Sanders, in the time imme-
diately preceding the Revolution.
comes a white boy fleeing from a
tribe of Shawnees by whom he had
been captured and adopted as a son
of the chief Kahtoo. He is given
shelter and attracts the favorable
attention Of Dave Yandell, leader
among the settlers. The boy warns
his new friends of the coming Of
Shawnee war party. The fort is
attacked. and only saved by the
timely appearance OF a party OF
Virginians. The leader Of these is
fatally wounded, but in his dying
moments recognizes the fugitive
youth as his son. At Red Oaks,
plantation on the James river, Vir-
ginia, Colonel Dale's home, the boy
appears with message for the
colonel, who after reading 1t intro
duces the bearer to his daughter
Barbara as her cousin, Erskine
Dale. Erskine meets two other
cousins, Harry Da'e and Hugh Will
loughby. Dueling rapiers on a wall
at Red Oaks attract Erskine's at
tention. He takes his first fencing
lesson from Hugh. Yandell visits
Red Oaks. At the county fair at
Williamsburg Erskine meets a
youth, Dane Grey, and there at
once arises bitter antagonism be-
tween them. Grey. in liquor. in
suits Erskine. and the latter. for
the moment all Indian, draws his
knife. Yandell disarms him.

boy had left note in which he
gave the property which is his as
the son of Colonel Dale's older
brother, to Barbara. The party is
met by three Shswnees. who bring
news to Frskine twhose Indian
name is White Arrow that his fos-
ter father. Kahtoo. is dying and
desires him to come to the tribe
and become its chief. After a brief
visit to the fort Erskine goes to the
tribe.

that fact and her beauty-and went
quickly on. At old. KahtoO's lodge he
could not help turning to look at her

and slipped within the tent. He turned
to find his fOster-mother watching him.

CHAPTER Vil-Continued.

On the seventh day he was nearing
the village. where the sick chief lay,
and when he caught sight of the tee
PEGS in little creek bottom he fired
his rife, and putting Firehy into
gallop and with right hand high, swept
into the village. Several bucks had
caught up bow or rife at the report
of the gun and the clatter of hoofs,
but their hands relaxed when they
saw his sign of peace. The squaws
gathered and there were grunts of
recognition and greeting when the boy
pulled up in their midst. The flaps of
the chiefs tent parted and his foster:
mother started toward him with sud
den stream of tears and turned quick
ly back The old chiefs keen black
eyes were waiting for her and he
spoke before she could open her lips

once!"
Erskine had swung from his horse
and followed. The old chief measured
him from head to foot slowly and his
face grew content:
"Show me the horse!"
The boy threw back the flaps of the
tent and with a gesture hade an In
dian to lead Firefly to and fro. The
horse even thrust his beautiful head
over his masters shoulder and looked
within. snorting gently. Kahtoo
waved dismissal:
you must ride north soon to carry
the white wampum and peace talk.
And when you go you must hurry back.
for when the sun is highest on the
day after you return, my spirit will
pass"
And thereupon he turned his face
and went back into sleep.
Just before sunset rite-shotS sound

coming in - and the accompanying
whoops meant great success. Each of

slipped toward the handle of his toma-
hawk, but some swift instinct kept him
still. The savage must have had good
reason for such open defiance, for the
lad began to feel that many Others
shared in his hostility and he began
to wonder and speculate.
Quickly the feast was prepared and
tho boy ate apart-his foster-mother
bringing him food-buI he could hear

MISS RUSSELL HONORED
Daughter of p. U. c. Member Elccte,,
to Membership in Phi Beta Kappa.

Daughter of p. U. c. Member Elcctes,
to Membership in Phi Beta Kappa
Miss Marie Russell, of Topeka.
daughter of H. A. Russell of the state
public utilities commission, has been
elected to membership in the Kansas
university chapter of Phi Beta Kappa,
national honorary scholastic frater-
nifty. Membership in the fraternity
requires a standard of scholarship
which is far higher than the average
attained in colleges and universities
by the student body.
Miss RusselPs achievement is the
more interesting in view of the fact
that she has reached her senior year
after paying all her own expenses thru
the university-not on account of
family necessity, but from choice. Miss
Russell spends half her time doing
clerical work in the extension division
Of the state university, making her
income supply her needs during her
four-year course. She also earned
her own way thru theN last two years
of her high school course.
Miss Russell will complete her
course at the state university this
spring, having majored in economics.
She has been made a member of the
honorary economics society of the
university, which is based upon schol-
arship, as well as being one of the
twenty-four seniors admitted to Phi
Beta Kappa.
She will take a two years law
course after she has finished her regu-
lar course this spring.
