At night he had been so tired that he had dropped to sleep as soon as he touchedw the ground. His boss, a gruff but friendly Irishman, had advised him to quit before he broke under the strain oi sucn strenuous labor. Largely his weakness had been due to a severe illness back in Blooming ton.

He told of this to Major Bowman after tne latter nad commented a pleased manner on Lillle's improvrd appearance. I very nearly died, he related to isowman. "in iact, tne aoctor gave ine up, but the butched we dealt with insisted that I drink beef blood.

He pulled me through. Every time he slaughtered a cow he took me along in rua wagon I was flat on my back and he made me drink the hot blood by the cupful." Bowman smued I think." ne saia dryly, "that I'd rather have died." The Indian agent was always ready with advice. It was he who impressed on Lillie the Importance of being firm with his Indian students. "If you re. afraid or any of them don't for the love of heaven, let on or they'll make life miserable for you." "i naven't run across any muti neers yet," Lillie told him.

And maybe you wont. If you have any truoble come to me." The first difficult situation he had to deal with was precipated by Spotted Horse, a Pawnee chief. The Pawnees were a peace loving and tractable tribe, but Spotted Horse, who was not a hereditary chief at all but only by reason of his own Y. M. H.

on that day. which was Sunday, there was a large parade und demonstration in Hunnewell by mavKi ayne aoomoers. Lea Dy Sayne himself, they marched through streets of Hunnewell 500 strong, singing and shouting. An inspiring srmon was delivered by a preacher ho evidently believed in Payne's xie sDOKe 01 now Moses led is followers into the Promised Land. It was a day of hich hones and teultation on the part of the agi stors xor iree nomes in OKianoma.

Banners were borne through the streets and David Pavne was some thing of a hero, although there were iiany who looked on in doubt or con pmpt. iThe next day Colonel Moore and Tony Harrison drove into Caldwell. Mrs. Moore and Rita arrived late that Ifternoon and the colonel immediate installed the whole party in a otel. Shortly afterward he left to ttesnd to some business.

"If you'll sort of look after Rita nd her mother, Tony," he suggested, '11 count it a There's a leeting of cattlemen I've got to look on We're eoinst to try to fret to gether on some points that we've been triable to agree on." Rita was as imperious as ever. She Ordered Tony to walk back and forth while she watched him to see if his (cement had left any trace. But walked easily and, without any mp. She seemed quite satisfied. "Now I fen stop being sorry for you; can't I mother?" Her gray eyes sparkled fiischievously.

"Marjuerita, how shocking!" Kath yine Moore reproved "Of course, sou mustan't stop being sorry lor be lig the cause of it. Vou can be appy, though, that it was no worse, might have crippled him for life." Apparently Rita did not like to well on that thought. 'Take me for walk through Caldwell, Tony," she ammanded. Her mother demurred, but Anally 5nsented. However, she Insisted that le accompany them.

She knew very ttle about Caldwell herself, but luch'of what she had heard had een shocking. Rita msicted on Being snown tne lig Buffalo salcon.

The boy turned in the direction in cated by her and beheld Shafer. the I iarshal. He was leaning indolently rainst a building, nicking his teeth, id was regarding them with an in lent stare that seemed to hold some nusement.

"That's the marshal of Caldwell," I ony explained to Rita. He noticed 1 Moore redden angrily and avert 1 face as she chanced to look in iafer's direction and decided it ould be as well not to mention the icident to1 Colonel Mpope. The col lei was the sort of "man who would 1 11 another who looked at his wife i a way she didn't like. Tony had lat on the authority of Joe Craig. That evening Titus Moore con filed who he had been rather anx iius to be in Caldwell for the fol llwing day.

Lillie patiently explained that the government allotment of clothes was something he had nothing to do with. "You'd better see Major Bowman," he advised. Spotted Horse was obdurate. "You get it lor nun. ne spose in Pawnee.

"I can't, I tell you. Chances are Frank's already got his clothes, anyway." i The Pawnee chief glared and tappel his knife menacingly. Lillie shook his head obstinately. The knife flashed and the young school teached turned pale. But Instead of retreating or capitulating, he advanced steadily on Spotted Horse and pushed him out of the room.

The Indian, either but of fear of probable consequences of a knifing or respect for this display of fearlessness, made no further show of hosptiity. "from what I had heard about Spotted Horse." Lillie said afterward. "I was pretty scared. If any of the Pawnees was capable of sticking a knife into your he certainly was. I figured a brave front might turn the trick and it did." His second encounter with a rebel lious man was not to end so mildly.

Blood flowed, and Lillie came very near to joining the ranks of those of whom there were so many on tne frontier in that day and of whom it could be said that they had killed. Lillie was a peace loving young man; he had no desire to own a gun with notches on its handle.
