V ' I ' kpion K.-John I ^^^nustraf ed by 1 CHAPTER \ The hoy stood at a window look in? out into the gntlrering dusk. The ; neighing of horses, the lowing of cuttle, the piping of roosting turkeys /'lnttiii' nf rn/i?tinr?* Iipik mm ?? ? the weird souks of negroes, the | sounds of busy preparation through I the house and from the kitchen?all were squads of peace and plenty, security and service. And over in ids own wilds at that hour they were driving cows and horses into the stockade. They were cooking their rude supper in the open. A man had gone to efich of the watch-towers. From the blackening woods came the curdling cry of a panther and the hooting of owls. Away on over the still westward wilds were the wigwams of squaws, papooses, bravqs, the red men?*ed In skrn, In blood, In . heart, and red with hate against the whites. i Perhaps they were circling a fire at ' that moment In a frenzied war-dance ?perhaps the booting nt that moment from the.woods nrnmd the fort was not the hooding of owls at all. There all was h:\Klihlpt?danger; here all ? * * At ?...1 j was comron ami penre. n nu-y nium see him now! See Ms room, his lire, his bed, his clothes! They had told "Here He Is, Mother."% him to come, and yet lie felt now the shame of desertion. He had come, hut he would not stay long away. The door opened, he turned, and Harry Dale came eagerly in. "Mother wants to see you." The two hoys paused in the hall and Harry pointed to a pair of crossed rapiers over the mantelpiece. r "TJhosc were*your father's," he said; "he was a wonderful fencer." The lad shock his head in ignorance, and Harry smiled. "I'll show you tomorrow." At a door Ui the other ell Harry knocked gently, and a voice that was low and sweet hut vibrant with imperiousness called: 4 "Come in 1" ueiv in? is, inuincr. The lad stepped into warmth, snlitle fragrance ..ml many candle lights. The great lady was just rising from a chair in fron* of her mirror, brocaded, powdered and starred with jewels. So brilliant a vision almost stunned t lie little strapper and it took an ef' fort for him to lift his eyes to hers. "Why, tins is not the lad you told me of," she said. "Coine here! I tot li of you." They came and the. lady scrutinized them comparlnpiy. "Actually you look alike?and. llarry, you have no advantage, even if you are my own son. I am glad you are here." she said with sudden j soberness, and smiling tenderly site put both hands on' his shoulders, drew him to her and kissed 1dm, and again lie felt in Ills eyes that curfhus sting. "Come. Harry!" With a gallant bow Harry offered his left arm, ami i gathering the little Kentuekian with her left, the regal lady swept out. In the reception-room she kept the boy by her side. Every man who approached bowed, and soon the lad was bowing, too. Itarbara almost cried out her astonishment and pleasure when she saw what a handsome figure he made in his new clothing, and all her little friends were soon darting surreptitious glances at him, and many whispered questions and pleasing comments were passed around. Then (Sonera 1 Willoughby ixiwed with noble dignity before Mrs. I>a!e, and the two led the way to the dining room. f "Harry," she sah^ "you ^nd liar- | barn take care of your cousiii." And almost without knowing it the young Kentuekian bowedjto Hurharu, who coiptesled. and took, hi_s arm. - ? - I V / .eei^ja m,dnf?|g; i^.H.Livingstorv6'~^?f J The iTTtdo fTnshen with silver and j crystal on snowy-white damask and , was hrilliant with colored candles, j Tlie little woodsman saw the men i draw back chairs for the ladles, and : he drew hack Barbara's be/ore Hugh.

One glass of wine lie took, and the quick dizziness that assailed him frightened him, and lie did not touch it again. Iteyond Barbara. Hugh gleaned forward and lifted his glass to him. He shook his head and Hugh Hushed? "Our Kentucky cousin is not very polite?he is something of n barbarian ?naturally." . . * "He doesn't understand," raid Bar barn quickly, who had noted the Incident. and she turned to her cousin. "Papa says you are going to live with us and you are going to study with Harry under Mr. Ilrockton." "Our tutor," explained Harry: "there lie is across there. He Is an Englishman." "Tutor?" questioned the boy. "School-teacher," laughed Harry. "Oh!" 1 "Haven't you any school-teachers nt home?" "No, I learned to rend and write a little from Dave and Lydd.v." And then he had to tell who they were, and he went on to tell them about Mother Sanders and Honor and Bud and Jack and Polly Conrad and Lydia and Dave, and all the frontier folk, and the life they led, and the Indian fights, which thrilled Barbnra and Harry, and forced even Hugh to listen?though once he laughed Incredulously. and in a way that of u sudden shut the boy's lips tight aiul made Barbara color and Hurry look grave. Hugh then turned to his wine and began soon to look more flushed and sulky. Shortly after the ladles left. Hugh followed tlieni, and Hurry and the Kentneklan moved toward the head of the tiible where the men had gathered around Colonel Dale. "Yes," said General Willoughby, "It looks as though it might come." "With due deference to Mr. Brockton." said Colonel Dale, "It looks as though his country would force us to some action." They were talking about impending war. Far away as his wilds were, the boy had heard some talk of war In them, and lie listened greedily to the quick fire of question and argument directed to the Englishman, who held his own with such sturdiness that Colonel Pale, fearing the heat might liecome too great, laughed and skillfully shifted the theme. Through hall and doorways came now merry | sounds of tiddle and banjo. Near a doorway between parlor and hall sat the fiddlers three. Gallant bows and dainty courtesyings and nimble feet were tripping measures quite new to the backwoodsman. Barbara nodded, smiled and after the dance ran up to ask him to take part. ; but he shook his head. Hugh had | i looked at him as from a superior | height. mnl the hoy noticed him frowning while Hurlmrn was challenging him to dance. The next dance cleared J ids face and set Ids feet to keeping | time, for the square dance had. of \ course, retfehod the wilds. "I know that," he said to Harry, who told Ihirhara. and the little girl ; went up to him again, and this time, flushing, he took place with her on the floor. Hugh came up. "Cousin Hatha ra, this is our dunce. I believe." he said a little thickly. The girl took him aside and Hugh went surlily away. Harry saw the Incident and lie looked after Hugh, frowning. The ha ok woodsman eonducted himself very well. He was lithe and graceful anil at first very dignified, hut as he grew in confidence he began to execute stops that were new to that polite land and rather i boisterous, hut Ihirliara looked pleased , m.d all onlookers seemed greatly unused?all except Hugh. And when the old fiddle: sang out sumroysly: "Oai.dman to right ? cheat an' su mg . me coy cucaieu >;iiuiiguuu?ijrt j cheated nil I.tit Ms little partner, to , whom each time lie turned with upon loyalty, and Hugh was openly sneer- j ing now and genuinely angry. "You shall have the last dance." j whispered l.arbara, "the Virginia reel." "I know that dance." saiil the hoy. j And when that dance came and the dancers were drawn in two lines, the ! hoy, who was third from the end, [ heard Harry's low voice behind him: j "He is my cousin and my guest, and you will answer to me." The lad wheeled, saw Harry wKh : Hugh, left his place, and went to I them, lie spoke to Harry, hut he j looked at Hugh with a sword-flash in each hluck eye: "I don't want nobody to take up for me." Again lie wheeled and was in his ! place, hut llarhara saw and looked j troubled, and so did Colonel Dale. He j went over to the two boys and pot his nriii around Hugh's shoulder. , "Tut, tut, iny hoys," lie said, with pleasant firmness, and led Hugh away, and when (Jenerifl Willoughhy would have followed, the colonel nodded him hack with a smile, and Hugh was seen no more that night. The guests left with gayety, smiles and laughter, and every one gave the stranger a kindly goodhy. Again llarry went with him to his room and the hul stopped under the crossed swords. "Von fight with 'em? I want to learn how to use them." j Harry looked at 1dm senrchingly, hut the hoy's face gave hint of no more purpose than when he first asked the same question. "All rignr, saw uurry. Tlie Iml blew out his candle, lmt ho wont to his window Inst end of his hod. The moonlight wns brilliant among tiro troos and on the sleeping flowers and the slow run of the broad river,, and It was very still out there and very lovely, hut lie had no wish to he nut there. With wind and storm and sun, moon and stars, he had lived face to face all his life, hut here they I were not the same. Trees, flowers, house, people had reared some wnll between him and them, and they seemed now to he very far away. Everybody had been kind to him?all hut Hugh.

NEW DOPE CRAZE Peyote Eating Habit Has Taken Hold of Dakota Indians. A new dope Craze?peyote eating? has taken such hold of the Indians on the nine reservations of South Dakota as to create a problem which those who arc interested in the welfare of the red men view with grave apprehension. The peyote bean is the fruit of a cactus plant which grows along the Mexican border. It is known as the Indian cocaine and has timet irnllv the same effect as that ' drug. Katon by the Indians under any circumstances it has demoralizing effects mentally and morally as well as physically. To complicate the situation in South Dakota, the peyote habit has been coupled with religious ceremonial.'; which combine ancient Indian superstition with Christian rites, and the craze is now in full sway among hundreds of the nation's wards of the Northwest. Saturday night has become the favorite occasion for these peyote orgies. Gathering in tents or huts, the devotees eat from thirty to forty of the small beans, following which they begin to see visions. Despite the tradition of the Red Indian's reticence, he is a great talker, especially when under the influence of a stimulant. In the grip of peyote. the braves claim to have wonderful revelations, and are filled with the spirit of weird prophecy which is unfolded to the gathered tribesmen in, long and eloquent harangues. In this state of drug-created frenzy they read from the llible, offer prayer: and sing hymns, using these devices to cover the degenerate activities which accompany the progressive effects of the drug. The culmination of many of these peyote meetings is declared by those who have witnessed them to lie most revolting. Many instances have already been called to the attention of the authorities of husbands and wives having been separated as a result of the peyote debauches and the debilitating mental and physical results of the drug are already beginning to show in hundreds of the younger generations of the Indians. Spreading north from the Mexican border during the past five years, the craze entered South Dakota from Nebraska where there arc said to lie about four hundredj addicts among tho Winnobagos, Dniahas and I'oncas. From the Winnebago Reservation, it spread to the Yankton Reservation in South Dakota, where there are said to be about forty confirmed addicts; j and then to the I'onca Creek station I of the Rosebud Reservation, where ! about sixty individuals are habitual users of the drug. The other members , iff the tribe have not yet fallen vie- j tints to the craze, the cult having its ; leadership from men of an age rang- i ing from thirty to forty-five years, I who may be classed as semi-educated, j So serious has the problem become j that at a meeting at Sioux Falls last week. representatives of all the j reservations, under .the chairmanship of Rishop Hugh Initiator Burleson. ' Missionary Rishop of the Hpisropa! < hi 'vh of South Dakota, resolutions were adopted calling on the govern- | menl to take promp action to stop the use of peyote beans among the [ Indians in accordance with the national anti-nareotlo law. It Is pointed out that there are twenty-five thousand Indians scatter- I ed through the nine reservations of : South Dakota alone. This Indian pop- I - it .?.

For more years than a man can count men have felt suspicious of. if not unkindly toward a horse with throe white feet. There is an ancient rhyme which runs something like this: "One white foot, buy him; Two white feet, try him; Three white feet, deny him: Four white feet, skin him and give him to the crows:" Not true; nothing in it; facts dis- j prove it. A fair proportion of the : fastest, strongest, toughest and most laithful hqrses i have had and still have two, three and four white feet. ' t/UIUUr il. it UK' ii;j \> iiuici u ivn jv ???.-> j back, had three white feet. Another deep-rooted prejudice concerns the color ot' horses. A gray has been generally esteemed as a | * tough and "staying" hprse, and .a black horse has been suspected of lack of stamina. A roan horse, eith- j er steel roan or strawberry roan, has always been sized up afl a hardy j horse. A dun horse was thought to be j the last word in feebleness. A cream ' colored horse was suspected of inability to go the pace, and a white | horse, beside being hard to keep clean, j 9 ulation is generally law-abiding and j for a quarter of a century has given the state little trouble. What would follow an extensive spread of the peyote habit with its attendant quasireligious rites is the sinister phase of the problem which is entering seriously into the consideration of the friends of the Indians as well as of law nn<I order.

FRENCH WAR STATISTICS b ' Less Danger Fighting In Air Than on Earth. There was less danger of death, in the late war, to officers who fought in the air than to, those who comlmtted on the earth. French statistics show that 29 per/cent, of infantry officers were killed, while only 21 per cent, of aviation officers lost their lives. The fatalities among officers in general, as compared to enlisted men in all branches were nearly equal, being 19 i>er cent, for the former and 1S.5 per cent, for the latter. The percentage of losses by age show that the 20-year-old .soldiers, both officers and men, suffered the most. .'< Phonograph records are being used by the Linguistic Survey of India for preserving the native tongues, many of which have never been put on paper.
