"INDIANSl"

SYNOPSIS.-In the late sum
NEE Of 1876, Peter Dinsdale,s on
his way to the Black hills to
join the throng of gold-seekers,
makes the acquaintance of the
keeper of a Deadwood gambling
house, San Juan Joe, who is re-
turning to Deadwood. On their
way through Red canyon Dins-
dale and Joe meet young
woman running from party of
Indians. Dinsdale takes her en-
his horse and the two men ride
through her pursuers, killing
several. The girl is Lottie Carl,
and she has no relatives. Near
Deadwood they overtake pros
pector whom Joe halls as old
Iron Pyrites." At Deadwood
City San Juan Joe. popular in the
community, is given an enthusl-
astic welcome, which is extended
to Dinsdale. Dinsdale tells Joe
Of the robbery of Union Pacific
train al Ogalala, and the gambler
informs the crowd. Joe takes
Dinsdale and Lottie to the house
of a woman of the town, Kitty
the Schemer, Joe's mistress,
where the gambler had intended
to install Lottie. Dinsdale re-
fuses to allow it, taking Lottie
to a house where she will be
safeguarded. Dinsdale saves an
apparently half-witted individual,
known as Scissors, from mis-
treatment at the hands of a bad
man." Bandy Allen, who vows
vengeance on Dinsdale. Scissors
nickname is derived from his
ability to cut, with paper and
scissors, remarkable likenesses
of persons, or anything that
strikes his fancy. Dinsdale takes
to him. Iron Pyrites arrives in
town. At midnight meeting OF
road-agents plans are made TO
rob one of the observation-disclosures.
Dinsdale acquires reputation as
a reckless spender nd an expert
gunman. San Juan Joe, beltev-
ing Dinsdale to be a in-robber,
warns him of the coming of Jim
Omaha" Union Pacific detective,
and advises him to take pros
pecting trip with Pyrites. Dins-
dale appears reluctant. Dinsdale
kills Allen. He then takes to the
hills with Pyrites. While pros
pecting, Dinsdale plumbers onto
a large log cabin. In cellar
Dinsdale finds the proceeds of
robberies. A man enters the cabin
DinsdaIe knocks him senseless.
He makes his way back to Py-
rites. The two make their way
to Rapid City. In a gambling
place a stranger, with bandaged
head, tells Dinsda1e his name Is
Easy" Telling Pyrites he be-
lieves Easy" is the man he
slugged in the cabin. Dinsdale
sets out with Scissors for Dead
wood. From hiding place they
see a gang of desperadoes pass,
evidently on Dinsdale's trail

take moren thirty minutes to climb it.
From the top we can see all over
creation. If Easy and his friends are
between us and Deadwood they'll be
sure to have camp and show
smoke"
The conical mass of Mato Tipi, ris-
ing abruptly from the plains to a
height of twelve hundred feet, pre-
sented a singular appearance and one
that appealed strongly to Dinsdale's
love for the unusual Already it had
distinct personality for him, an at
mosphere resting on legends and the
beliefs OF the red men. On being
questioned Scissors said 1t was difficult
TO climb unless one followed paths
from the northwest or southeast sides.
"Do YOU want to visit the top?"
asked Dinsdale.
"Only for the sake of looking for
hostile smoke. If alone I'd want to go,

pulled back the full width. This al.
lowed them to see what was going on
in front of the lodge. Near the en-
trance two men were making shields
of inch-thick hide taken from buff
falo BULBS neck. The hide was pegged
down on thin layer of clay and was
then covered with burning Goals
This process hardened it sufficiently
to turn lance point, or round bull
let. 1t was striking incongruity of
the campaign, bows and arrows and
shields by the side Of magazine rifles
and metallic cartridges. Never again
would the plains witness such a
mingling of the old and the new.
Little Big Man stroIled to the open
Ing of the lodge. He was smoking a
beautiful pipe of red sandstone The
bowl was inlaid with silver and the
long reed stem was artistically dec
grated with feathers and quilts. He
offered the pipe to the sky and earth
and to the cardinal points, but spoke
no word to the prisoners.
After waiting for a minute Scissors
asked, 'When can Two Knives Talk
ing see his friend Crazy Horse?"
Little Big Man smiled cynically and
replied: eff Two Knives Talking is
wakan enough he can unite himself
and go to see his friend"

1T would have been over the unlck
err" moodily retorted Scissors. Then
with a flare of his old egotism: "But
I've spoken to Wakantanka, A man
is never down so long as he can hope.
Crazy Horse thought lot of my medi-
cine. Now look happy; some one is
coming"
Three men, bearing a kettle of meat
entered the lodge. Dinsdale remem.
bered he had eaten nothing since
morning, and despite his serious pre-
dicament he was very hungry. The
kettle gave off savory odor. Two Of
the braves Embossed the thongs so the
prisoners could bring their elbows to
their sides and extend their hands
forward. A bowl and a wooden spoon
were given to each. For some min
utes Dinsdale ate as If famished, then
asked:
What is it?"
"Wild onions boiled with dog"
II don't think I'm hungry any
more"
"Washte-heIo! very Eood.) If I'd
said elk or deer you'd come for Sec
ond helping Shows what language
does for a man."
And Scissors asked the brave to
dish up more of the stew.
Horse doesn't seem so bad, but
dog" muttered Dinsdale.
The kettle was removed and their
arms were tightly pinioned. Scissors
requested that the flap of the tent be

THE N. Y. HISTORICAL
SOCIETY

The plans for the organization of
this society which has evolved itself
into an institution, were originated in
18O4-and had for their objective the
collection and preservation, for the
benefit and enjoyment of coming gen.
erations, those photographs, books,
maps, newspapers, paintings and other
objects which helped to keep and
show the record of the progress Of
Americas most important city.
These exhibits are now housed In a
dignified and substantial building in
Central Park West, New York city.
The liz rary is said to contain upward
of 100000 volumes and $4,000
pamphlets. The gallery of art houses
more than 1000 paintings, most Of
which are of intense interest and are
without exact duplicate elsewhere
Then there are numerous portraits Of
former Indians, generals, politicians
and great and near-great men in other
and various walks of life who at one
time or another have been prominent
in the affairs of New York. Among
such, for instance, may be mentioned
Cornelius Sternwick, who was burgo-
master Of New York under the Dutch
and who later became mayor of the
city under English rule. This por-
trait it is thought, was painted in
1857 by the husband of Sternwick'sl
sister while Mr.. Sternwick was visit
ing in Europe.
The museum contains large, inter-
esting and priceless collection of heir
looms and other objects. To mention
a few at random-there is an elab-
crate punch bowl made in England for
a dinner given at Castle Garden in
commemoration Of the landing of the
French General Lafayette in this coun-l
try in 1924; also fan made for thel
guests Of the ball given In his honor;
a glass mug made in commemoration
of the admittance of the state Of Yer
mont into the Union in 1871; a table
used in 1889 by the federal congress;
shackles which were removed from a,
slave (girD at Americas, Ga, in 1866.
Some of the manuscripts are absorb
ingly interesting. Among these are al
letter written in 1777 by Patrick
Henry; another dated Mt. Vernon
Va, November 8, 1880, and penned bE
George Washington; deed covering
land in Albany, N. Y, dated 1856, and
a military record Of President William
Henry Harrison.
Among the views on exhibit are one
of the city and harbor of New York
as of the year 1894. and another show
ing how the now famous Wall street
looked way back in 1929.

THINGS
UNUSUAL
THE oNE-TREE CHURCH
By T. 4. MAxEY
1924. Western Newspaper UniOn.)

In the year 1852 the Baptists among
the settlers along Santa Rosa creek,
up the peninsula north of San Fran
cisco on the California coast, deter
mined to have religion, organized a
meeting house-serviceS being held at
the ranch home of one of the men,
bers. The good folks flocked to the
meetings in such numbers that the
house In which the services were held
soon became too small.
AS no more commodious structure
was available, services were later con-
Quoted under the protecting shelter of
large oak tree. Thus. after fash
ion, increased space which proved
highly unsatisfactory when the
weather was inclement, was provided.
1t is recorded that some claimed this
tree edifice was "open to both winter
storms and summer cows"
Accordingly, in 1873, the congrega-
ton felt justified in assuming the ex-
pense of constructing new meeting
house in the village of Santa Rosa. A
giant redwood tree which stood In the
valley Of nearby river was selected
to supply the lumber from which to
build the new house of worship.
Commenting on this matter, the
Santa Rosa Republican recently print
ed the following: ut is true that the
story Of this church building runs
only half century, but it is equal
ly true that when Jesus was born in
Bethlehem of Judea the tree which
furnished material for this church was
a promising young redwood" This
mOnstrous tree was Is feet In diameter
and produced $4,000 board feet of
lumber. Part of the top, damaged In
falling, was made into shingles.
The felled tree, cut into logs, was
sawed into lumber, transported to the
site and the church duly erected, and,
in the words Of its pastor, 1t came to
pass that "the honor Of having a
meeting house built from single tree
was given to people who have al
ways been among the leaders in adj
vancing the Kingdom Of God"
The complete building, from foun-
floor, however, was built from the
product Of one massive member Of the
forest. And, lest you gain an errone-
Gus impression concerning the size of
this religious edifice, let me tell you
that the main auditorium measures
approximately 40 by go feet. 1t Is of
ficially known as the First Baptist
church of Santa Rosa, Cal.

One Kind Act

Little Willie was so depressed one
night at bedtime that his father
asked him what the trouble was. VIII
lie answered sadly that he had failed
to perform a single kind action that
day, thus going counter to the boy
scout ritual.
"Well, cheer up" said his father.
'sYou can perform two kind actions
tomorrow"
But Willie doubted if he could make
up for his fault in that way, and he
turned in very low-spirited indeed. In
the morning. however, he was himself
again.
"Got over your troubles, eh?" said
his father.
Eyes, sir,'' said little Willie. Il

The gorge was reached and passed

grave and he was studying the sur
roundings sharply.
"You seem to know lots about In

throwing off his own abstraction.

Scissors.

They crossed the head of the branch
and halted at bend where Dinsdale
found the charred sticks of old cam
fires. Scissors picked up rusty hunt
ing knife and some empty cartridge
shells.

After filling his pipe Dinsdale endeav-
ored to learn something more about

captive of the Indians, also something
about his earlier antecedents, his
birthplace, and the extent of his
schooling But Scissors for once was
not responsive. He idly shipped pic

planned they were lesser wakandas.

Perils in the Home Told by Risk Company

we feel safe when within the walls we
call home, may in some measure be
responsible for the accidents which
occur there. Our surroundings being
so familiar the sense Of lurking dan
ger in an open fire, or loose board
on a step, does not suggest itself.
After the damage is done we may per-
ceive wherein we erred, but 1t is too
late to remedy the harm done. We
are never entirely free from peril
whether at home or abroad, but we
are likely to have keener apprecia-
ton Of it when away from home and
the opposite may be ones undoing at
home.-Pittsburgh Telegraph.

flying. They say Kitty was mad
enough to chew up a harness. I'd for
gotten all about that
"So?" gritted Dinsdale. -"How much
more have you forgotten?'
81 don't know" was the frank re-
ply. Probably lot. Since 1 became
wakan I've forgotten lots of foolish
stuff"
please don't forget we're going
back to Deadwood City. When do
we strike for the gulch?"
Were wide of the stage road, and
better so" readily replied Scissors.
"Those men on horseback will string
out and trail along in twos and threes
right into tho gulch. Some of them
will even risk riding into the town.
Each one will be watching out for
you. If we follow the middle branch
of this creek to its head we'll be only
a few miles south Of DeadwOOd.
There's an old trail that we can take"
Listen, Scissors; I'm not afraid Of
those horse thieves trying any game
close to Deadwood. Let's take the
most direct way to town. I'm keen to
get back"
Scissors grinned cunningly.
"Strike right out and have you get
into a fght?" he said. you'd say
you'd killed horse thief. How would
you prove it? The town would say
you're natural-born gun fighter and
always looking for trouble. They'd re-
member you left a dead man behind
when you lit out with Pyrites. 1t
would never do to mark your return
with another dead man. San Juan Joe
said- just remember 1t this minute
that you couldn't stand having an
other killing to your credit till the
first one is forgotten. He has lots Of
influence in town, but he can't use it
all up on one man."
Dinsdale took a few farewell puffs
at his pipe and knocked out the heel,
and surrendered.
"I'm not looking for trouble. I'm
ready for the middle fork Of this
creek. Well make town as soon as
possible and without making the eagle
scream"
That's my notion" heartily In
dorsed Scissors. Turning in? Think
I'll sit up while and think things
out l don't sleep well. Too many
dreams. Some are bad. Price a man
pays for being wakan."
Nor did Dinsdale rest well that
night. He dreamed of Lottie Carl be-
ing in the power of Kitty the Schemer,
of Mayor Farnum suddenly turning
into a savage, of San Juan being
killed in a fight. He was up early
and wondering what could be the mat
ter with his nerves. He walked some
distance from the camp in the hope
that exercise would clear away his
feeling Of depression. He found where
some one had dug into the marty
shale, and, being ignorant of geology,
was much surprised to discover fish
spines and a coiled cephalopod in the
broken formation. He carried his dis
coveries back to display to Scissors.
The picture-man was setting out the
last OF their meat. Finishing his task
