:M%i%»:‘%‘%%-&-xwmg ¢ - ’ ’ § THE SHERIFF’S i t TURKEY . i eet R e t By BERTHA H. NANCE : WMM‘:«:@WWJ (Copyright, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) The prisoner had seen the sun set for the last time. The prisoner looked out reflectively. Just then the turkey gobbled from his pen under the window. i .

X little later this warning was followed by two men. one bearing a tray, the other awoll of blankets. One man left immediately, the other, who was the sheriff, remained. The prisoner said: : 1 . “Goin" to sleep here tolnight‘.’" “Yes,” replied the other, half-heart-ediy. “I didn't think 'twas necessary, but the boys was keen for me to, and seems like it's sort o’ customary.” “Goin’ to be a big crowd, Stanley?” The sheriff nodded, but plainly did not like the topic. He was a fat man, with a full, dark-red face. Avery, the prisoner, was a man of wjre, with the dumb look which men whp live much alone seem to - catch from the un¢hanging scenery. He had been a sheep herder. ! “How was that pie?” asked Stanley, fo change the subject. | “All right,” answered the man of few words. He rose and threw the scraps of his meal through the bars te the turkey. ‘that at first gobbled apprehensively. v | “Gein'-to kill him to-morrow?” He indicated the turkey. | . “Yes, I'm gein’ to give some of the boys a supper to-morrow night. He's good and fat now.” . Avery listened with slight interest. To-morrow night did not exist for him. From a pile under:the window: he selected a shtick with great care, trimmed it and rolled a cigarette. “I haven't had afair show,” Avery said. | “But vou killed him.” Stanley's belief in his guilt was firm. Avery persisted in the denial he had made from the first. . “What went with the hody? An" the saddle an’ bridle> What did I do with them?” ) ; Stanley struck another match. - “You know, I reckon. We can't find out. But you can’t deny that you two rode- out together an’ he never came back?” o “He went on.” C o “An’ tha('the_v found tihe horse he rode runnin’ free?” - “He must have changed it fod a fresp cne. The ones it was with ‘gfi his.” ) "Well, you'd qnarreled.” “He quarreled at me. I'm useg to that.” “You was seen with his knife afterwards.” . R “Yes, we swapped. I had one he tock a fancy to.” . That was all .the evidence against Avery. But one of the men was popular, the other poor @and unknown. . flt was late when they tossed the last cigarette out into the dew. Perhaps an hoar afterwards a rabbit, nibbling near the window, yi’as surprised to see'a™ark figure issue from it and stand listening: No sound came from behind save a snore, so Ihe man ven-

He Kept On Working at the Bars.

tured on. looking up at the watchful stars. How good it was to see them with no bars between. Then he cast a last glance behind |at the little house, with the turkey's coop, a dark blur on its whitewashed wall, under the window. - {7

“Wish I could take you with me,” he thought, addressing the bird. “If it hadn't been for you I wouldn't be here.” - The turkey had indeed been an ally. Warned by his call, Avery always had time to conceal the traces of his work before any one drew near. It was a long, slow task, begun with the idea of escape, but reflection éonvinced Avery that he could not get out of the country. He kept on working at the bars, however; it was an occupation for the weary, hours. Now, all he wanted was one long tramp; he would be back by morning. | : ) - He was not so ready| to return some. hours later, when the| stars by their silent sweep reminded him that he must retrace his steps if he wished to be back at dawn. Never had the wide night seemed so sweet, The town was far behind; he stood in a small valley, thickly covered with 'mesquites, and heard the night wind sigh softly through them. i Slowly he turned toward the distant town. Some of the sweetness of the breeze was lost already. Suppose he remained,”but no, he could not endure ‘capture; better go back of his own aceord. . ; s { -

So thinking, he crossed the valley and ascended a little hill. Before him lay another valley, containing what seemed to be a field. His course lay directly across it, and soon he stumbled over something. Peering about he discovered the foundations of a house, burned long ago. He was picking his way through them when suddenly the ground was crumbling under his feet, the stars seemed to be dan-

cing about him, then he knew no more. .

When Avery was again conscious of the sunshine it was gleaming brightly into the mouth of the old well into which he had fallen. His head was aching slightly from a blow as he fell, but otherwise he was not injured. Examining the walls of the excavation he found that it was very doubtful whether he could get out unaided. For the present he was content to remain. The country was probably being scoured for him by this time, and the well was a better hiding place than he could have found. He was not hungry, and he drank from a puddle near the wall. )

It was somewhat past noon when he felt a few spoonfuls of .earth sift down. Quijckly glancing up, he saw a woman's face between him and the green. His first thought was to keep perfectly still, but she had discovered him as he moved; he saw her draw back in surprise. Then she spoke. “Are you hurt?” “No.” . - “Can’'t you get out?” ) “No." . ' : “I'll bring you a rope.” And she was gone. : . ‘ From the length ¢f her absence Avery supposed that she went some distance. ' . “How long have. you been in there?” asked the rescuer. . ) “Three days,” he was startled to hear himself reply: Slowly they crossed the field.. On the*way the woman told her tale. She and her husband were moving to what seemed a kinder country when he received a hurt that rendered him unable to work. Still they went on, till one of the horses fell lame, and since then they had been unable to get farther, although only a few miles from town. ’ ;

Arrived at their camp, Avery told his flimsy tale of searching for strayed cattle, which neither man nor woman seemeil to doubt. They fed him and his hunger seemed proof of a three davs' fast. All the afternoon he lay under the wagon and rested, planning escape. , Meanwhile the. mover's little girl grew worse. She had been half sick for several days, but now her mother became alarmed about her. Avery saw the woman saddling the sound horse; .before he could imagine what she intended to do she had asked him to go to tox:n for a doctor. & It was equally impossible to refuse or to explain. Slowly he mounted and turned . the animal's head towards danger. The dark eloud had climbed higher nowy its edge touched the zenith. L Once out of the woman's sight, thiough on so urgent an errand, he did not speed: In a few minutes he would reach the high road, stretching away in two directions. His horse was fresh: the rain was in his favor. The doctor’'s wife was reading the new poem, “Lucille,” that night, yet she was.not too absorbed to hear a knock. ‘A man stood outside, who edgéd out of the shaft of light as she opened the door, and asked her the question which she heard oftener than any othef. She told him that her husband was at the sheriff’s supper and directed him where to go, with a feel: ing"of pity, both for him and the physician who must mofint and go in such weather. .

- The man outside, when the door closed, leaned against the wall, as == lacking strength or resolution. luen he shook himself togetyer-and walked back to his horse. At the sheriff's gate he paused, then strode up the path to the door with his head erect, in spite of the rain, and in his eyes the light of the great silent stars. The largest room in the sheiff’s house was the hall, which ran K its whole length, and there he gave his feast. There long tables were spread and round them were gathered his friends from far ranches. The very crown of the supper was the mammoth turkey, which the thrifty officer had fattened on the scraps of his prisoner’s meals. Just as he was lifting his knife to carve it there was a knock at the door. Stanley rose and threw it wide open. ) The man who entered was drenched and storm-beaten, and blinking at the light. He could not understand why Stanley was shaking him by both hands at once and why the men were cheering, until he saw, foremost in the group gathered round him, the man he had been accused of Killing. “The boys was powerful disappointed.’t the sheriff was saying.- .

“For awhile they wanted me to take your place, but T persuaded ’em ‘twas unconstitutional. They sure hunted you lots and the roads are watched yet, for this feller only come in at sundown. He were sure surprised at all this. If you had tried to get out of the country you'd be dead now.” ) . “Twenly minutes later the rain had ceased an()’ the stars were peeping out once more. In the sheriff's hall the men were resuming their interrupted supper. Avery, in an old suit of Stanley's, sat in the doctor’s place. “Thanks, no turkey for me,” he was saying. “I couldn’t eat a bite of him if I was starving.” Queen of Sweden. ; The new queen of Sweden was the Princess Vict(%ria of Baden, through whom, by a Strange play of circumstances, the claims of the extinet house of Vasa—the last direct descendant '6t which passed away a few days after King Oscar, in the person of Carola, dowager queen of, Saxony; and daughter of the depoged King Gustavus Adolphus IV. of §weden—may be said to have become joined with those of the reigning house of Berna , and through her, her son, the resent crown prince, is a descendant of both those houses.—Review of Reviews. Utility of the Karite Tree. : " In" the search for new plants of utility, attention has been drawn to the karite tree of French West Africa and the adjacent territory to the eastward. This is not a forest tree, but grows in open spaces and in gardens. Its fruit is edible. The hard-shell seeds contain a fatty substance used by the natives as butter, and it i 8 suggested that this substance should be valuable for other purposes. The gum-—not like rubber—into which the sap coagulates, is another article of possible commercial value.

JOCKEY MARTIN BUYS RACE

;HORSE FOR FIVE CENTS

Pat Civill Parts with- Matabon for Price of “Curry Comb Handle"— Says He Is Not Worth Feed.

Naw and then race horses are heard of which during their cdreers on the turf cost their owners many a dollar in entry fees and in other ways and were finally sold er given away for a mere trifle. o “ Several days ago Burlew & O'Neill entered their horse Belmere, which in his time has won many a race, at New Orleans. They thought he had an excellent chance to win and wagered some money on him, but his running so disgusted them they sold him shortly afterward for one dollar. Now comes another story of.a horse which was bought-by a man's last five cent piece. : ' : Several days ago at New Orleans Willie Martin, who in his time was considered one of the best jockeys in this country, was -standing with a group of horsemen talking about the prospects of the race meeting which is to be held at Tampa, Fla. During the. conversations he announced his intention of attending the meeting and said that he thought he would be able to make out all‘rig}t if he only had a horse. : A

Pat Civill, who .is selling some of his horses, was in‘thé:group, and when he heard Martin announce that he wished he had a horse Civill said: “I will sell you a winner in Matabon, the Lamplighter gelding.” Martin then explained to Civill that at present he was driving to the limit without trying to buy any racers. Civill, however, - was detérmined to get rid of Matabon, and told "Martin , that he could have the gelding for what money he happened to have in his clothes.

? Martin considered it all a joke, but when Civill repeated his offer he accepted it, and after a careful search he found that he had one lonely nickel. “I have only five cents,” said Martin, “and that is not enough to buy the handle of a curry comb.”

Civill grabbed the nickel and declared: - 3 ) - “Matabon is yours; you can take him whenever you are ready.” . = He wished Martin all the luck in the world with the Horse, which has cost both Goldblatt and Civill no end of. worry since they purchased him from William ‘Gerst last summer at Windsor. - ‘

Will Coach Yale Eleven. Capt. Robert Boyd Burch of the Yale football eleven recently announced the appointment of Lucius Horatio Biglow, captain of the present championship Yale eleven, as head coach for the coming year, and the appointment of Tad Jones, the allAmerican quarter back, as assistant ‘coach. The combination promises the best pair of coachgs Yale has ever had. ; b : Biglow has§ played on the varsity three years at tackle and was captain on the All-American this year. As a player and leader he is without a superior. ; 3 : Jones is captain’ of the baseball team and, like Biglow, is a great leader. He is quick and clever at planning and executing a play and understands every position in the back field. ? : . Interest in Balloon Race. Already 23 entries have. been received for the international balloon race for the James Gordon ' Bennett cup, which will be held in Germany in October, -as compared with nine entries for the race at St. Louis last year. The Un‘ited States, Germany, Belgium, England, France, Italy and Spain each have nominated three cars and Switzerland two. Russian and Austrian.aeronauts have also promised to compete. :

To Captain Carlisle Indians.

Michael Balenti, a 20-year-old Cheyenne Indian from Oklahoma, has been elected captain of the “Carlisle Indian baseball club for the approaching season. Balenti has fielded and played third base, as well as caught, at the pational game. He is the coming Indian quarter back at football and is five feet ten inches tall, and training down for the approaching season to 150 pounds.

MANY OLD STAR TWIRLERS CARRIED BY LEAGUE TEAMS

Managers Cannot Forget Services of " Veterans and Will Give Them - Another Chance.

Will Joe McGinnity, Nick Altrock, Deacon Phillippi, “Jack” Chesbro, “Bill” Dineen, Frank Owen and a few other of the star twirles of the past show real big league class this year? Deacon Phillippi has been of little use to the Pittsburg team since the memorable series with the Boston American league tegg. Whether tt}e strain of that serie impaired his usefulness or not is a question. His work has been only mediocre for the last three years, every now and then he would show flashes of his old-time brilliancy. Barney Dreyfuss can’t forget his great work of the past and carries him, thinking every year that he will prove that he is still a great pitcher. : Nick Altrock wouldn't get a fat salary on his record of last year nor would Frank Owen, yet both of these pitchers have signed up for the coming season. Charley Comiskey can’t forget the great work that Nick did against the Cubs or the services Frank Owen did for the White Sox when he was right. * Chesbro was a star in 1905, when he made Griffith’s team a contender in the race. He had a fair year in 1906, but last season the best he could do was win nine out of 21. :

Joe McGinnity won 27 games and lost 12 in 1906, but last year he had to step some to break even in 36 games. Bill Dineen had a bad year, as did Jesse Tannehill. .

" The fans are beginning to wonder if these pitchers have ‘seen their best days; if the wonderful “Bill” Dineen and “Jack” Chesbro of a few years ago are no more. Practically every manager has a veteran pitcher who he is banking on to show old-time form the coming season. TUnless their arms have suffered an injury that rest won't cure there ought to be several old-timers who will make them all go some in 1908. % While commenting on the veterans it is fitting and proper to state Cy Young appears to be as young and strong as ever. He worn: 22 and lost 15 with a second division team - last season. :

GOSSIP OF THE DIAMOND.

Eddje Wheeler, who formerly held down third base for Denver, will manage the Grand Rapids team in the Central league. He will also hold down the difficult corner.

Joe Doyle, who is dubbed the slowest pitcher in-the business, is there on signing the baseball contract. He sent his contract back to Griffith the day after he received it, and it bore his signature. : Delos Drake, the former Mansfield outfielder, has been turned over to the Indianapolis team by Detroit. Drake ought to come pretty close to making good in the American Association.. Dan McCann and Bill Dahlen both think that Cecil Ferguson will develop into one of the greatest pitchers in the country if only given enough work. | in Matty Mcllntyre has already signed his contract and says that he will report to Jennings in the spring in better shape than ever. He expects to have no trouble whatever from his broken ankle. b Johnny Hoey of the Boston Americans, is another big league player who is taking things easy in the south playing on one of the hotel teams: He is on the Ormond team. Billy Smith, who managed: the New Castle team, is now a free agent and unsigned. Smith may manage one of the teams in the New Ohio league. . Rube Waddell thinks there is nothing like tending bar to Kkeep an athlete in condition during the off season. Manager Connie Mack of the Athletics has no objection to his ec--centric twister being behind the bar in the winter, if he would only stay ‘away from the front of bars in the spring, summer and fall. The Rube has recently been serving the thirsty in Reading and Mobile. : : - Harry Arndt, formerly of the Car. dinals, is after the South Bend franchise in the Central league. He is still a great player but his arm’ is almost gone. He has trouble getting the ball across the diamond. s

L. A. COROMIILAS IS FIRST RESI- ; DENT MINISTER. Important Addition to Uncle Sam’s “Foreign Colony” in Washington— Diplomat’s Tact in Complimenting Women. : Washington.—-Perhaps the most interesting newcomer of the season in official circles at the American capital is Lambros A. Coromilas, the lately arrived ministar from Greece. Aside from the impressive personality of the envoy. selected by King George and the significance of his mission here, there is the further circumstance that the new arrival from Athens is the first resident minister ever sent to this country by Greece and constitutes an important addition to Uncle Sam's official “foreign colony,” which now includes the representatives of 39 different nations. :

Although Greece has just sent, for the first time, an accredited agent, to be stationed at our seat of government, diplomatic relations wére inaugurated long ago between this republic and the little kingdom on the Mediterranean, and, indeed, the United States has, for years past, been represented in Greece by a minister who draws a salary of $lO,OOO per .year. It has constituted one of the few exceptions to the rule that Uncle Sam will not delegate a proxy to any capital where the government does not return the compliment in-kind by stationing an envoy at Washington. : Various influences have impelled the Grecian authorities to seek closer relations with the government of the United States. *One of these is the rapid growth of Greek population in the United States, and the advent of which has brought some problems,: as witness the nadrone system, whereby great numbers of Greek boys are reputed to be held in virtual slavery in

United, States.)* S

certain business establishments, etc.— an evil the government is’ even now taking action against. Then, too, the trade of Greece with the United States is inereasing enormously, especially in the matter of imports from the United States to the European domain, and so King George thought it expedient to have at Washington a representative to facilitate further commercial relations between the ‘two countries. Finally, Greece desired to make substantial récognition of the mission which this nation has so long maintained at Athens, : Minister Coromilas is a man of the highest education. He .is ex-president of the Grecian archaeological society, has the degree of Ph. D. from the university of Tuebingen, Germany, and studied in Paris at the school of political science.

He speaks English, if not exactly fluently, at least readily enough to make himself understood and a short residence here will doubtless enable him to supplement his present precise and scholarly English with a knowledge of our language fully equal to h% present mastery of French and German. o e

As might be expected of a scholarly native of Greece, Mr.~Coromilas is more than fond of history and that he takes the deepest interest in modern as well as ancient history will not appear surprising when it is explained that he is the great-grandson of the famous Greek patriot Coromilas, who in the Greek war for independence ‘in 1821 was captured by the Turks at the battle of Camatirou and left impaled for three days while efforts were made to compel him to divulge information regarding the movements of the revolutionists. Minister Coromilas has himself had some war-time adventures, having been captured by the Turks during the eastern Roumelian trouble in 1886.

- That the newly arrived Greek statesman is a diplomat in the true sense of the word may be appreciated from his tactful showering of compliments upon Ameriean women. He not only declares American women.wholly charming, but maintains that there never existed greater resemblance between the women of two different races than between those of the United States and the traditionally beautiful Grecian women of the prehellenic period. Furthermore, he concedes that the features of the typical Awerican beauty surpass those of her ancient rival. Made a Sweeping Change. . The Dowager Queen Margherita of Italy has just sold all her horses and carriages and transformed her stables for use by motor cars only. This is the first royal household in Europe to make so sweeping a change. A An Appropriate Article.. . “We want to get up a geographical lunch.

WANT THE MISSOURI DEEPENED

Convention at Sioux City, la., Asks $40,000,000 of Congress.

Sioux City, la.—An appropriation of $40,000,000 for the establishment of a 12-foot channel in the Missouri river from St. Louis to Sioux City. will be asked of congress as a result of the first annual convention of the Missouri river navigation congress, held here recently. : . Governors and congressmen from seven states bordering on the Missou ri river attended- the convention.

These engineers reported that making the Missouri river navigable from Sioux City to St. Louis would cost less than paralleling any single railroad between these two points. The navigable length of the Missouri river is greater than the distance by rail from St. Louis to San Francisco. It has a navigable length three ‘times as great as the entire length of the Ohio river. o

Artists Against Modernism.

Under the headline: “A Fight for Moeonlight,” the Morgenpest, of Ber--Ilin, says: ‘“Artists and all lovers of the beautiful are‘arrayed against the municipal authorities of Venice, by whom it has been proposed to illuminate the Grand canal with gas. The ecanal has never been brilliantly lighted except on festival occasions, but who cares? The moonlight has been sufficient. Modernism in all its forms has been at work along the waterways, and now the moon is to be eclipsed, probably because it frowns upon the motorboat. The charm of the Venetian night, the indescribable light and shadow effects, the mystery, romance and imagination lurking in the dark corners of the palace walls, all these will vanish before the loud, shrill, poetry destroying light.”

PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. L.

i Dr. Hartman is now offering Peruna to the public as a regular pharmaceutical product. It is just as ethical as any compound put up for the medical profession. No straining of medical ethics can find any fault with it. ' THE PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated in the. label on the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna have a true justification. 5 : e The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of Peruna affairs in the future, is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and sell our product TO THE PEOPLE. =~ - e - If we would agree to-sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only, then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna as being entirely within their approval. : = s : BUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS.

We shall continue to do this, whether the medical profession like it or not. * : e - . We are proposing from this time on to take the public into our confidence.
