FRECKLES PROVES HIS METAL.

land and who lived in a small clear

swamp and the corduroy. When the
gang pulled out for the south tump
Freckles wus left to guard a fortune
Id the Limberlost. That he was under
guard himself those tlrst weeks he nev
er knew.
Every hour wns torture to the boy
The restricled life of a great city or
pbauage wns the other extreme of the
world from the Limberlost. He wus
afraid for his life every minute. He
cut a stout hickory cudgel, with a
knot on the end us big as his fist, and
It never left his hand. What be
thought In those tlrst days be hlmse'f
could not clearly recall afterward.
His heart stood still every time be
8ti w the beautiful marsh grass begin u
sluuous waving against the piny of the
wind, as McLean had told him it
would. He bolted n half mile with hi
Cist boom of the bittern, and his hat
lifted with every yelp of the sheitpoke.
Once he saw a lean, shadowy form
following him and blazed away with
LLi revolver. Then he was frightened
worse thnn ever for fear It might have
beet) Duucan's collie.
The tlrst afternoon that he found
bis wires down, and be was compelled
to plunge knee deep into the black
Hwauip muck to restrlng them, he
lould scarcely control his shaking hand
to do the work. With every step be
felt 'hut be would miss secure footing
unJ be Rwnllowed up in that cllnglirr
pea of blackness. In dumb agmiy be
plunged along, clinging to the posts
and trees. Tie had consumed mm h
time. Night closed In. The Llinl er
lost stirred vently. then sho-i!; herself,
growled nt'd rwnke nli.oit l:!i:i.
There seemed to be n great owl hoot
ing from every hollow tree and a litlle
one srroecliinu' from every knothole.
NIghilnwks wy-ept pn him with their
Fhlverlng cry. and bats struck his f.iec.
A prowling wildcat missed Its catch
nnd screamed with rage. A lost fox
bayed Incessantly for Its mute. The
hair on the back of Freckles' neck rose
like bristles, ami his knees wavered
under him. He could not see If the
dreaded snakes were on the trnll nor
in the pandemonium hear the rnttle
for which .McLean had cautioned him
to listen.
Something bit. black and heavy
came crashing thmuch the swamp, and
with a yell Freckles broke nnd rnn
taow far he did not know. Hut at hist
he gained some sort of mastery over
tjjmselfwnil retraeivl Ms step Wlinn
he again came toward the cordun
the cudgel fell to test the wire nt ev
ery step.
Sounds that curdled his blood seem
ed to close In about hint and shapes
of terror to draw nearer and nearer.
Just when he felt thn be should fall
dead before be ever renched the clear
ing enrae Duncan rolling call. "Free
kles. Freckles:" A grent shuddering
gob burst In the boy's dry throat. But
he only told Iitinnm that finding the
Wire down find inmle him late.
The next morning he started out on
time. Day after day with his- heart
tounding tike n tcluhomiuer be ducked.
doflzed. ran when be could and fought
like a wildcat when be was brought to
bay. If he ever had an idea of giving
up no one knew It. All these things
In so far ns be guessed them Duncan,
who had been set to watch the first
weeks of Freckles' work, carried to the
boss at the south camp, but the Inner
most, exquisite torture of the thing the
big Scotchman never guessed, nnd Me
Lean with his finer perceptions came
only a little nearer.
After n few weeks, when Freckles
found that he was still living, that he
had n home and the very first money
he had ever possessed wus safe In his
pockets, he began to grow proud. He
was gradually developing the fearless
ness that men ever acquire of dangers
to which they are hourly accustomed.
His heart seemed to be in his mouth
when bis first rattler disputed the
trail with him, but he mustered cour
age and let drive at It with his club.
After Its bead had been crushed he
cut off its rattles to show Duncan.
With the mastery of his tlrst snake
his greatest fenr of them was gone.
Then he began to realize that with
the abundance of food in the swamp
flesh hunters would not come out on
the trnil and attack hint, and be had
his revolver for defense if they did.
He soou learned to laugh at the floppy
birds that made horrible noises. One
day watching from behind a tree he
saw a crane solemnly performing a
few measures of n belated nuptial
Bone nnd dance with bis mate, lte-
allzlng that It was Intended in tender
ness, no matter how it appeared, the
lonely, starved heart of the boy went
out to them In sympathy.
When day after day the only thin'
that relieved his utter loneliness was
the companionship of the birds and
beasts of the swamp Freckles turned
to them for friendship. He began by
Instinctively protecting the weak and
helpless, lie was astonished at t lie
quLkuess with which they been me ac
customed to him once they learned
that be was not a hunter and tint the
club he curried was used more fre
quently for their benefit than his own.
Ho could scarcely believe what he saw.
When black frosts began stripping
the Limberlost he watched the depart
ing troops of his friends with ulsiuny.
Ho made sieclal efforts toward friend
liness with the hope that he could In
duce some of them to stay. It was
then that be conceived the Idea of
currying food to the birds, for he saw
that they were leaving for lack of It.
But he could not stop them. Day
after day flocks gathered nnd depart
ed. Ry the time the first snow wblt
eued his trnil nbout the Limberlost
there were left only the little bluclc
and white Juncos, the snpsuckers. yel
lowhnmmers. n few patriarchs nmoug
the flaming cardinals, the bluejays.
the crows and the quail.
Then Freckles begnn his wizard
work. He cleared a space of swale,
nnd twice u day b spread a birds'
banquet. !ty the middle of December
the strong winds of winter had beaten
most of the seed from the grass and
basin's. The snow fell, covering the
swamp, and food was very scorce nnd
hard to find. The birds scarcely wait
ed until Freckles' back wus turned to
attack his provisions. In n few weeks
they Hew toward the clearing to meet
him. ' By the bitter weather of .Jan
uary they enme halfway to the cabin
every morning nnd fluttered nbout him
like doves all the way to the feeding
ground. By February they would
perch on his bend nnd shoulders, nnd
the saucy Jays would try to pry Into
his pockets.
Then Freckles added to wheat und
crumbs everv scrap of refuse food he
could lind about the cabin. One morn
lng. ioni;ig to bis feeding ground un
usualiy early, he found a gorgeous
cardinal and a rabbit sociably nlbhlin
a cabbage leaf side by side, and that
lustantlv gave to him the Idea of
cracking nuts from the store he had
gathered for Duncan's children, for
the squirrels. In the effort to add them
to his family. Soon be bad them com
lng red. gray nnd black and be be
came filled with n vast Impatience
that he did not know their names nor
habits.
So the winter passed. Every week
McLenn rode over to the Limberlost.
never on the same day nor at the same
hour. The boy's enrnlugs constituted
his first money, nnd when the boss ex
plained to blm that he could leave
them safe nt n bnnk nnd enrry nwny
a scrnp of pnper thnt represented the
I'Di-'lirL bfi Ulfld.5. fL-dcrcIt op every
pay day. keeping out barely what wns
necessary for his board and clothing.
What he wanted to do with his money
be did not know, but It gave to hint n
sense of freedom nnd power to feel
that It was there It wns his nnd he
could have it when he chose.
That winter held the first hours of
real happiness In Freckles' life, ne
wns free. He was doing n man's work
faithfully through every riper of rnln.
snow and WIzznrd. lie was gathering
a wonderful strength of body, paying
bis way and saving money.
Mrs. Duncan had n hot drink ready
for him when he came In from a freer
lng dav on the trr.II. knitted a heavy
mitten for his left hand, devised a
way to sew up and pad the right sleeve
which pnteted the maimed arm In
bitter weather, patched h!s clothing
nnd saved kitchen scraps for his birds.
not because she either knew or cared
a rap about them, but because she her
self was near enough the swamp to be
touched by Its utter loneliness. When
Duncan laughed nt her for this she re
torted: "My God. mnnnle. If Freckles
hndna the birds nnd the beasts he
would be always nlone. It was never
meant for n human being to be sa soli
tary." '
The next morning Duncan gnve an
enr of corn he wns shelling to Frec
kles nnd told him to enrry It to his wild
chickens In the Limberlost. Freckles
laughed delightedly.
"Me chickens:" he said. "Why didn't
I ever think of that before? Of course
they are! They are Just little brightly
colored cocks and hens. But what
would you say to me 'wild chickens' be
ing a good deal tamer thou yours here
In your yard?"
"Hoot, lad!" cried Duncan.
"Make yours light on your bend and
ent out of your hands nnd pockets,"
challenged Freckles.
"Go tell your fairy tales to the wee
people! They're Julst brash on be
llevln' things," said Duncan.
"I dare you to come see!" retorted
Freckles.
"Take ye!" snld Duncnn. "If ye
make Julst nne bird licht on your held
or eat frae your hnnd ye are free to
help yoursel' to my corncrlb and wheat
bin the rest of the winter."
After thnt Freckles n I ways spoke of
the birds as his chickens. The next
Sabbnth Duncan, with his wife nnd
children, followed Freckles to the
swamp.
Freckles' chickens were awaiting
him at the edge of the clearing. They
cut the frosty nir about his head Into
curves and circles of crimson, blue uud
black. They chased each other from
Freckles and swept so closely them
selves that they brushed him with their
outspread wings.
At their feeding ground Freckles set
down his old pall of scraps nnd swept
the snow from a small level space with
a broom Improvised from twigs. As
hoou as bis back was turned the birds
clustered over the food, snatching
scraps to carry to the nearest bushes
Several of the boldest, n big crow nnd
tears that were

Mrs. Duncnn threw herself Into 1)j:i
can's arms.
"Oh. the pulr lad!" she walled. "Oh.
the pulr mlther hungry lad: He breaks
my heart!"
Duncan's arm-: closed convulsively
about bis wife. With n big brown
hand be lovingly stroked her rough
sorrel hair.
"Famh. you're a guid woman:" he
said "You're a r ! Ii'v gold woman!

Now she laid a powerful hand on the
soul of Freckles, to whl h the boy's
whole being responded, tlioneh he bad
not the least Idea what was troubling
him. Duncan accepted Ills wife's
theory thnt it was n touch of spring

and feasted nt leisure, while a fnidl
nal that hesitated to venture fumed
and scolded from a twig overhead.
Then Fre.klcs scattered his store.
At on.-p the ground resembled the
spread mantle of Monte.unia. except
thnt this mass of gayly colored feathers
wns on the backs of living birds. While
they feasted Duncan gripped his wife's
arm and stared In astonishment, for
from the bushes and dry grass with
gentle cheeping and queer, throaty
chatter, us If to encourage each other
enme isocks or quail, lielore any one
saw It arrive a big gray rabbit sat In
the midst of the feast, contentedly
gnawing u cabbage leaf.
"Weel. I be drnwed on!" came Mrs.
Duncan's tense whisper.
"Shu-sbu:" cautioned Duncan.
Lastly Freckles took off bis cap. He
began lining It with handfuls of wheat
from bis pockets. In a swarm the grain
eaters rose nbout him like a flock of
tame pigeons. They perched on his
arms nnd the cap. and. In the stress
of hunger forgetting nil caution, a bril
liant cock cardinal nnd nn equally
gaudy Jay fought for u perching place
on his bead.
"Weel. I'm bent!" mnttered Duncnn.
forgetting the silence Imposed on bis
wife. "I'll hae to give In. Seeln' Is
bellevin'."
A week later Duncan and Freckles
rose from breakfast to face the bitter
est morning of the winter. When
Freckles, warmly capped and gloved,
stepped to the corner of the kitchen for
his scrnp pall he found a pan of
steaming boiled wheat on the top of it.
He wheeled to Mrs. Duncnn with n
shining face.
"Were you fixing this warm food for
me chickens or yours?" be nsked.
"It's for yours. Freckles." she snld.
Freckles faced Mrs. Duncnn with a
trnce of every pang of starved mother
hunger he had ever suffered written
large oii his hptnely, splotched, narrow
features.
"Oh. bow I wish you were my moth
er!" be cried.
"Lord love the lad!" exclaimed Mrs.
Duncnn. "Why, Freckles, nre ye no
brlcht enough to learn without being
taught by a woman thnt 1 nm your
mlther? If a great man like yoursel'
dlnna ken that, learn It now nnd ne'er
forget It. Alice a woman Is the wife

She tucked the course senrf she hnd
knit for blm closer over his chest nnd
pulled bis enp lower nbout his ears,
but Freckles, whipping It off and hold
ing It under his nrm. caught her rough,
reddened hnnd nnd pressed It to bis
lips In a long kiss. Then he hurried

m CASE GALLED
The Defendant Arraigned Before
Judge Travis and Pleads Guilty,
but Sentence Deferred.
From Saturday's Dally.
Another chapter in the Charles
Allen Whiting bigamy case was
enacted this afternoon when the
defendant was arraigned in the
district court before Judge Travis
for sentence. Mrs. Whiting of
Lincoln and some of the relatives
of the defendant were present;
also Mrs. Haeus, to whom Whit
ing was married last month by
Judge Beeson.
The prisoner was directed to
stand and County Attorney Taylor
read the complaint to the court,
and the court inquired of Whit
ing whether he was guilty or not
guilty. He replied, "guilty." He
was then asked if there was any
thing he had to say why sentence
should not he passed, or anything
in extenuation of his offense.
The prisoner replied that he di
not realize the seriousness of the
offense at that lime. That he ha
not been pelting along with hi.
wife and thai he did not live with
her, although he had supportet
her and their two children all of
Hie time until right recently. On
being interrogated as to why he
r! id not live with his family, he
slated that they did not get along
that his wife's people hail tried to
make trouble between them am
lie had let her live with her par
ents.
The court, then produced
petition asking for Whiting's
parole and asked him if he knew
anything about, it. He replied that
lie had heard of it. The name of
his wife was the first on the peti
tion and the court asked her to
step forward, and questioned her
nbout the trouble mentioned by
Whiting. Mrs. Whiting said that
they had not, had much trouble
hut. that Whiting's people ha
caused some troubld between
them, hut there was nothinc
serious.
Mrs. Hacus was then invited to
step forward and was also inter
rogated by Judge Travis. She
stated that she became acquaint
ed with Whiting a year ago, while
she was working in a restaurant;
that she did not know he was a
married and divorced, nnd under
married nnd divorced, nnd under
stood from Whiting's actions that
he was single; he never stated
that he was single. She signified
her willingness to sign the peti
tion to parole the prisoner, and
read the petition over.
Judge Travis then stated that
he was not ready to sentence the
prisoner, hut ascertained that the
penalty was an indeterminate
sentence of from one to seven
years. Whiting then retired with
the sheriff, who took him back to
jail.
The court called up the case of
the Stale vs. dray and the sheriff
went after the prisoner at the
lime lie accompanied Whiting
hack to jail.
