An in vestigation followed which proved to the satisfaction of a great many peo ple that his story was true. At that time there was a good deal of news patier comment on the incident and then it was forgotten. The story was revived a few days ago when two uten in a muesuni at Chicago r-cognized a picture of llix.tli is that of a man with whom they worked in Oklahoma in the seventies.

If you speak to him, you must let out your voice." So the man with the copperas hair and soll'erina whiskers stole up to hint and in a wild bleat shot a question into Mr. I'ilev's ear: "Is this Mr. Kiley?" The poet offered him the other ear. at the same time looking at him with lame, blue, wondering childlike eyes. I'eople stepped back out of range to give the man with the voice a chance, and he repealed Ihe query in a way 1 hat shook Ihe blue ribbon of Ihe large iron-gray Itosa Bonheur slullion across the plana.

Finally the Hossler managed to break through Riley's profound soli tude and make him hear and admit who he was.

"Yes. yes." said Kiley, "so did I!" and walked away. fine; but whet; v goes to pay us dey j de ducks fc; I "'on, de ducks for! flour, de ducks, for Ritgar, de durks , for tea and de ducks gets all de' rice!"
