Patronage v ot Commercial traveling PubUcSoUrtUMl.! : Tourists John Gitkinz had spent two terms In the United States senate and was anx ious to go back for another six' years. Unfortunately his prospects did not ap pear to be the brightest. The legisla ture of the far westernTstate -whicb would meet te choose his successor within two months was evenly divided. Exactly half Jts members on joint bal lot belonged to the political organiza tion ot which Senator Gitkinz was one, of the heads.. For purposes of identifi cation it may be called the Blue party. The Red party, -which" was bitterly op- ! "posed to Senator Gitkinz, had an equal number of. votes in the legislature, lacking only " one. : The odd man was State Senator Marr, elected as an Inde pendent from one of the interior coun ties of the state.. If Man voted for Senator Gitkinz, his election was as sured. If, as was expected, he voted for the, caucus nominee .of the Red par ty. It would be necessary to detach some opposition member from his par ty allegiance. That was the "problem which Senator Gitkinz was facing. . Three men sat in a little room open ing, into the library - of Senator Git kinz's house in the town of Carton. They wre smoking, and looking, Into the fire, Gitkinz himself was a large man of Co, dressed so well that his clothes were not at all noticeable. : His heavy figure was topped by a large and well shaped head. His Iron gray hair was- ;worn long and his face smooth shaven. With his deep set black eyes and eagle beak lie looked not unlike the pictures of Daniel Webster. Early In his political career the resemblance naa Deen marked, ana ne naa ever since cultivated it. Even great men, it may be remarked, have their little van ities. " :-: :-.. The man standing next the table was Gregory Uppman, for more than 15 years the private secretary of - Senator Gitkinz. He was rather small, with a smooth manner, an educated hand grasp and a thorough - acquaintance with practical politics. . ; The third man in the - room was Charles Swerin, .tall, thin and gaunt, with faded . blue eyes looking . out through,, big bowed ; gold glasses. He looked the part of a student, a chess player, perhaps, "or a philosopher, used to concentrating his mind for a long time on an abstruse problem. Swerin's name never got into the papers. He had no apparent business. .Yet he liv ed well and was always well supplied with money. To the few he was known as "the brains of Senator Gitkinz." The three were completing their plan of action J. of thecampalgn so" close at hand.' . . ' "I've gone over all xt them," said Swerin, "and I think -we had , better concentrate on old Senator Marr. " It will seem more natural if he flops than If one of the regular Reds comes over to us. Let's see what you've got on Marr, GrOgg." . ' .. .. - ' The private secfetary got up, unlock ed and opened the doors' of a tall cabi net,: It was filled with little pigeon holes, each .of them numbered. In a drawer below was a list of the mem bers of the: state legislature, the num ber opposite each name being the same as that on one of the pigeonholes above. He fan his finger down the list to the name of Marr, joted the number op posite It and then pulled from the cabi net the" little tin box which bore the sanse number! - The box was half filled with papers and clippings: 1 : " "Marr was,, born in New York state," began ' Uppman. ; : "His father . was a farmer.; The old man died while Marr was in .the. district school, and he has had to support the family ever since. He was admitted to the bar when he was 40 years old. " He Is attorneyrfor the street car company which owns the J line in Hartil, his home town. This Is the first time he fhas ever held office. He Is rated at from $5,000 to $10,000. ; Per .sonally he is said to be a prohibition ist,' though when he was. In - Chicago last winter" he took a little fun with the -boys. -He has an exemplary reputation in Hartil. Dorson does not thintjiim a man of strong character." "X think I know how to manage "old "man-Marrsaid Swerin, after a mo ments pause." " "Poes he know ; you, GregT' : ; ;; - , --"No;-1 never saw him In my life.' "Well, I want you to find out all about that -street-railway line which "tie represents as attorney. Get Its cap ital, Its condition, and the names of Its chief 'ownersr and try to. find . out whether It can be bought at a feason- abie price.'"" - . , . ' " - - .Within a week State Senator Marr received a letter from a Chicago law yer asking If the ,Hartil street car line, for which he, was attorney, was on the market. "If It could be bought at a reasonable figure, the lawyer wrote, he might be able to find a purchaserfor it. . . -. It happened that the. Hartil Street Car eompany bad never been a profit able investment. - Its owners were lo cal capitalists, who had been chiefly moved to build the line by town pride. The best It had ever done was to pay expenses. Its owners, as Marr knew. would be delighted to get the property off their hands, provided only that It mteht be maintained and kept running. ttp held a conference with the men who owned, most of its stock before he oncworori the letter from Chicago. rrfcor, hA wrote- that whilel the (com pany was-not anxious to sell out it mlffht consider an offer of $.75,000. The Chicago man came back with a propo .inn tn nav $50,000. There followed f urther negotiations by correspondence. Finally- Marr was askea to maw rin rhiMm to talk the matter over. Before he left an upset price of $55,000 wroa flvofl for the DroDerty. "We'll lot it ro at f p.OOO." tic creM aent or tne company said to Marr as the latter stepped, on the train. Gregory Uppman . met him at the Union station and Introduced himself aa one of the men" interested In the pur chase of the road. The two went di rectly to the lawyer's office. There the aeai was discussed at lengtn. As a final proposition the new syndicate made an offer of " $55,000, to which Marr refused to' listen. v Flnally Uppman came to the point. "IH tell you what. Marr," he said. "You use your. Influence "with the com pany to get them to accept $55,000, and we'll be. glad to pay you a personal commission of $3,000-. when the deeds are signed." : v At first Marr was horrified at the thought. ' It seemed to him that to take such a commission would be selling his professional honor. He shook his head. Uppman -went on explaining smoothly that a commission on large sales of this kind was quite the usual thing. It was not Intended In any way as a bribe. The property was not worth more than $55,000. Its owners - were, getting a good price for their line. There . was nothing out of the way about it. . The more Marr thought of the mat ter the more It seemed to him that per haps he would be justified in taking the $3,000. He -had secured the price fixed by the owners of the, line.- Sure ly there was no harm In his making a little" out of It on his own account. Be sides, he needed the money badly. If after thinking it over he concluded that it would be best not to keep the money, he could turn It over when the price agreed on was paid. " Uppman took him out to dinner that evening They dined at a club, and Marr-drank more wine than he was used to. By 10 o'clock he had decided to take the money and Bettle It with his conscience later. ".Next day the deal was completed. Marr got his $3,000 in cash, and the papers were signed for the transfer of the Hartil street car line. ' - . . On the next train Uppman followed Marr home to the far west. ' Marr went straight through to Hartil, where the street car people congratulated him on the successful completion of his work. Uppman stopped off at Carton and re ported to Swerin and Senator Gkkinz. Ten-days later he and Swerin went up to the state capital to open the sena tor's, campaign headquarters. One of the first men Uppman met in the lobby of the hotel was Senator Marr, just come down to attend the session. The legislator recognized him with evident signs of embarrassment. - But the poli tician wasted little-time. - How do you do, Senator Marr?" he began.! "I'm glad to .see you again. Come down to look the ground over a little In advance?" , "Yes, Mr. Uppman, but what brings you here just now?" - "Oh, I'm Senator Gitklnz's private secretary, you knowl I've come down to open his headquarters for. the cam paign. By the way, senator, we'd like to have you call on us as soon as you can conveniently, Parlor G, second floor." . Senator Marr blushed, hesitated and looked around aaIf he had been de tected in some dishonorable act.' "You're Senator Gitklnz's private sec retary?" he stammered. " "I thought you were a street railway man." "Oh, I have a little Interest In one or two lines, but what I'm chiefly inter ested In is to get Senator Gitkinz sent back to the senate. I trust you'll call on us today. You and I know each other pretty well already, you knbw. As friends we ought to stick together, don't yon think? I hate these bitter political quarrels, and I'm -sure we shall get along together without any trouble. You'll come and see me, won't you?" . ' - For a moment the two men fought a duel with their eyes. Then Marr's glance dropped. He felt that he was defeated. . :. ; - -'"Yes," he answered hesitatingly, "111 come." - " ' " When Uppman reported the result of his interview to Swerin, who was sit ting quietly up stairs In an inner room. the latter gentleman, smiled grimly. "Checkmate f. he said. "I thought we had the old man where he couldn't get away." Chicago Tribune. - "Little Bat" . AND THE Sibley Fight. and - - Anecdotes) of Henry Russell. The Jewish Chronicle of London says that the late Henry -Russell, the song writer, was of Hebrew birth and had many close friends among his coreli gionists, - including Sir Moses Monte- fiore, the Rev. A. L. . Green and the Levy family. When Mr. Russell was accustomed to say to Sir Moses that he was getting on In years, Sir Moses, who was greatly his senior, would re ply, 3Iy dear old boy, you are only a baby." - "-.-- - - - At the house of Mr. Green, where he was a frequent visitor.-he would tell some of his amusing experiences, one of, them having reference to the time when he was In a wild part of America and often carried his life in his hands. One day, when he was supposed, to be asleep, 4 man bent over him. : Mr. Rus sell feared his-last hour had. come.

" n "The long haired man from the west may be all right, but there are others," remarked a dark, swarthy, stout man in this city, yesterday. He was Frank Grouard, ex-chief of scouts of the United States army, the hero of a hun dred Indian fights and hairbreadth escapes. .There is nothing romantic in the appearanee of this big, brawny man," his black hair now well streaked with silver, but his exploits are liber ally blazoned on the army reports by Crook and Sheridan. Born on an Is land in the south Pacific In 1S50, the son of a missionary, through stress ot. circumstance at the age of 5 he was left to shift for himself. Doing chqres about the California mining camps and driving an pre wagon were his training for carrying mail over a lonely star route." He was captured as a youth by Indians and adopted as a eon by the famous Sioux chief Crazy Horse, living five years In Indian camps, eat ing his meat without salt, forgetting the taste of bread, and Intrusted with the mysteries of "medicine making" by Sitting BnlL This school inured him to hardship and eventually led him to meet and overcome dangers that few men have experienced." When he saw the telegram In the newspaper of yesterday relating the tragedy at Crawford, Neb., that sound ed "taps" for Baptiste Gaunier. better known as the famous scout Little Bat. he quite forgot the overhanging won der of the elevated road and the tall buildings to tell his regret at the pass ing of one who had shared with him many perils; "Did you ever hear of the Sibley fight?" he asked. "If you have not, John FInerty can tell you one live ly side of It Little Bat might have told you some more about it, and I might say something myself. Yes, we were all In it up to our chins, and as an all round close shave I think all ac counts agree that It was about the lim it The idea of a man living on a diet of that kind and then getting killed In a saloon fight! It seems tough. Poor Little BatI Bad whisky was worse 'medicine' than. Sitting Bull ever made in all his years of deviltry. "But yort.want me to tell about the Sibley fight, do you? It was about 24 years ago last July, just about a week before the battle that wiped out Gen eral Custer and his entire command. General Crook assigned Little Bat and myself to go north on the Tongue river and meet a body of friendly Crows that were joining us to fight against the Sioux. Much to my regret. Lieutenant F. W. Sibley and 24 picked men of the Second cavalry were detailed as an es cort. The men were splendid fellows, but all more or less new In Indian fight ing. We had been moving north two days when In the dawn of the third morning I discovered the Sioux moving toward the Tongue river thicker than buffaloes In the valley of the Platte. I called Bat softly, and when he saw the great painted procession stealing oVer the plains he said, 'My God, we are gone! ' "I waited until I saw them strike our tralL Immediately the discoverer be gan circling his horse and waving his blanket, and. about ten minutes later every Indian In that section knew that white men were somewhere about." I thought we might possibly get away from them by getting up Into the mountains. I. told Bat to follow "me with the men as fast as he could, my Idea "being to get beyond where the Twin creek trail crossed our own In the mountains, knowing that the In dians would naturally make a run to cut us off at that point , I suppose I went up the hills rather fast for at length I got tired waiting at the trail crossing and went back for the sol diers." Imagine my surprise when I learned that .the. party had stopped to make coffee. Lieutenant Sibley admit ted his Inexperience In a running fight and had yielded to the importunlngs of his men, who wanted breakfast. . 1 told him the chances .were that none of us would eat any more between that time and kingdom come, as the Indians Were probably waiting for us at the point we should have passed long ago. I made a wide detour from the trail aa we tolled up the mountain. Very for tunately, for they were ambushed for us at the crossing of the trails between two high tree crowned buttes. If we had passed through that natural gate, none of us would have been left to tell about it As' we passed up the moun tain to the left they, got on to our curves, and about 200 did some wild target practice In our direction. Strange to say, not a man was hit Correspond ent John Flnerty's horse was shot, and be came up and joined me In leadiDg the line. The horses were Inclined to stampede at the first fire, so at the be ginning of the thick timber I ordered the stock tied in a bunch. The Indians tried in every way to draw our fire. tragedy confued the Icllana. Thin our whole on tat pourcl in a withering volley, and I toU Kii U-y lt was our time to take advantage cf their confu sion and get through tbrlr line lack to the gully. I watjul until they were a!) fairly started back thmtiph the hrary timber, then, taklnjr the lariat from timber, then, taklnjr the lar'.at from the saddle of my doad hor I followed. "It was a mile from whi-re we made our stand to the mnin fork cf the Tongue river, and the wood. were full of terrible windfalls, and It wit awfully hard traveling. The f.rt yards the men had to slmr'y squirm their way through the tlmbrr and keep very low. The savage had a" comparatively tLln line at our rear, as they knew the char acter of the country and thought we would be belplens without our bono.

Our policy of holding our fire so fooled them that they did cot rush our camp until the following morning, a fact that I learned later. The storm waa wllJ and terrible. We were drcr-clu-d. and the timber began to fall all about us. We kept in a territory where horses could not travel for reasons of our own, and we hit an cnblazrd trail over the mountains for the following 45 houra without a mouthful to cat. Sometimes the squirrel path was eo steep that Bal and I had to pull the soldiers up over the rocks with our lassoe. "The following morning at 3 o'clock we forded Goose craek, the cold witet coming up to our armpits, and at day light fell in with a scouting party of the Second cavalry. Thin we went back over the trail and picked up two of our exhausted soldiers that Lad giv en up.

Yet we nev er lost a man. Toor Little Bat: He waa la the lead. Just to think of It! Now he Is snuffed out as the result of a cowardly misdeal in a miserable saloon fight" The speaker cast asi.le the stump ot his cigar and said, "Where do you think I could find John FInerty anyway?"
