The children of the village school'. ";-'--.
In haste come pouring out.

And such a noise they make
That all the sunny, sleeping street

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.

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.

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

The speaker cast asi.le the stump ot

I could find John FInerty anyway?"

"It Is curious," writes a City of Mex
ico correspondent of the Boston Her
ald, "what contrasts there are among
the young men of the land. Out on the
haciendas and ranches yon find sturdy
young fellows tnueh on horseback and
expert with the rope and as skillful In
riding as the Cossacks of the Don.
These young men are the hope of Mex
ico. Often tall, broad shouldered and
rigorous, Hiey will bo the fathers or
healthy children and keep the Mexican
nation alive. From mcp of this sort
the cities are recruited, and their de
scendants will be the -ruling men of
thei country, They. too. arc romantic,
but with a difference. They are too
healthy to become trsthetlc. and yet
the women who marry them will be
happier than as the mate of the poets
whose fine fancies thrill the femle
heart"

How to Cure the Grippe.
Remain auietelv at home and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as directed
