[ Special to THE BEI : . ] In these days Nebraska was not so well sottloil as now. Indeed , few people lived far hack from the Missouri river and the Big Blue was wholly unknown. In the spring , a low spirits b&ldor than the rest , pushed flown to the Blue , and sent back glow- InR accounts of the richness and beauty of the country. It was not , how ever , until n year or two later lhat the Biff Blue country becnino generally known and the people rushed In from Illinois , loa.w Pennsylvania and Indiana to find homos lor tholr families. There was a big Uampodo all along the border , and fear ing for the safety of the settlements Captains Spauldlng and Mix , of my old roglmdnt , the Second United States cavalry , were sent down with their zompanlcB to guard the country. Bo- itrico was a paper town and nobody believed - liovod it would over amount to much , rhoro were no settlers on the Blue ibovo Beatrice. There was good hunt ing then , on the Bluo. nud Uoar , door , ind many fur-bearing animals were abundant. The Sioux and Pawnees matte night hideous with their whoops , and had the upper Blue for their regu lar hunting and camping ground. Ono white man , a young follow , had pushed up the Blue and built tils cabin near the head of the stream , whore ho had laid out a farm , lie did not farm much , and except a small garden patch beside the cabin , Boomed cdntont to lot the la id lie idle and hold the claim down. II I trapped , llsbcd , and sang all day long , and seem ingly was very happy to bo loft. His furs ho took once a year over to the Platte and exchanged for Hour , sugar , tobacco , coffee , matches , nnd whatever ho needed. After Belling1 his furs ho would always , as ho said , "take a little needed recreation in drinking , lighting and horso-raqing. " lie would stay as long as his means lasted , and then , packing up his purchases , ho vould setout out for his ranch and lonely life on the Bluo. Ho scorned hardly nineteen , but was really much elder than ho looked. How so young a man had ac quired such vicious habits was n mystery , for ho kept his own counsel und would not toll any body who ho was or whore ho came from. Ho was a fearless rider , a bruvo hunter and an export with the rifle. Some said ho had boon with frontiersmen over since ho was a mere lad , ana that ho could , if ho chose , toll where many of the ponies and horses were that had been stolen from the Overland Stage company during the past few years. Nearly every time ahorse was stolen his iiamo'wns mentioned , but ns often as the * -cabln was visited ho was found at homo quietly attending to his own affairs. Ho know ho wan suspected and it worried him. Ono day ho said the next party that came looking for him would get a fight , and then they loft him alone. Ho never visited the settlement WITHOUT 11EINO JIKAV1IA' AR3IED and sometimes when in liquor , was very troublesome. Ho would mount his horse , draw his pistols and ride through the streets of the little towns , whooping and llrlng in every direction. When pressed ho would take to the hills and go back to his ranch. When not on a spree ho was quiet , well behaved and a most intelligent and agreeable compan ion. Ho was called n desperado und everyone came in time to shun him. One day ho wont down the river to look up some now hunting place and trapping grounds , and when about thir teen miles from his cabin was surprised to como upon a good-sized house , burn , wagons and all the appointments of a farm. Ho hitched his horse to a tree by the door , and was surprised to see a man untying the horse and loading him away almost before ho had entered the house. "Hold on there , " he cried , "what do you want with that horse ? " "Bo you the chap that lives up the crook'ho was asked. "Yes ; what do you want to know for , and what business is it of yours whore 1 HvoV" "Yor nro wanted over to the Platte , and I'm ' goln' to take yor over thar , " said the farmer coolly. Had 'n bomb shell fallen at his foot und exploded , lie could not have boon more astounded than by the words of the farmer. Was It possible ho had struck a man tougher than himselfi1 It looked that t way. IIo rubbed his head and pulled his oars to see if ho was alive or awake nnd hud hoard correctly. > "Yes , " continued the farmer , coolly ' eyeing him , "I don't care to have yor in this neighborhood while I live liyar , and I'm just going to take yor over to the Plutto and put yor in jail u bit. " The young man started , and instinct ively his hand sought the handle of his revolver. "Nono o' thot , my fine buck , " said the farmer , smiling ; "Put down yor hand or Jake , who's just behind thot door with a double barrelled shotgun , will scatter yor tarnul remains all over the prairie. The young man turned quickly nnd saw the double barrel of u gun leveled at him from the door ot the house. i. "Keep him there , Jake , " said the fur- r mor , "till I put up the boast , und then fcI'll take his crackers away from him. " K The young man stood like ono riveted E to tlio spot. Ho knew if lie moved one fi inch ho would bo filled with buckshot , ( I It sooinod to him an ago until the 1 OU ) MAN CAJIK HACK , I and walking quickly up to him , tool ) I both his revolvers uway from him. t * kNow , young follor , como in , and tec [ ' yor don't try none oyor * monkey shine * I ! with us , or we'll have to till yer uj | i plump full o' lend. " I The family consisted of the old man , | l his wlfo , daughter , a little son , nnothot r old man und the hired man , Juke , who H ho had seen manipulating the shot gun i on him. The old man had little to say ( i and scorned sulky nnd ugly. Ho told | | his wlfo to hurry up the supper und I then drawing out his jnok-unlfo eat I down to whittle u stick nnd chow It tobacco. After awhile he expectorated { about u pint of saliva on the stove j | hearth and looking un ut the youny I man chuckled ns ho said ; I "Thot yor was chief round these pnrtE didn't yor ? I've honrn toll of yor capon ' over thar ( pointing with his knife to S ward the Platte ) and they tola me yet would make trouble for mo , but Lord i they didn't know ole Thompson. No li body on ycurth Is chlof when ole ' -'roun. " Thompson's'roun. ( "I was chief till you cumo , " stild the young man. "bul I glvo In. There's no body chief in these parts now hut ole man Thompson. " "Is that on the square , younpc follor ? " Bald Thompson rlslncr. ' 'Look out what yor about. I cut yor woazon ns BOOH as I would a rats , " and ho walked toward the young uiau with the kulfo open in his hand. "Don't , pa. " Bald his daughter , nnd Mrs. T. , joining in. said : "Just sit down , pa ; yor supper U ready. " "Woll , como up , young follor , nnd git some supper , nnd of yor honest In what yor said about ole Thompson boln' chief 'roun' here , shake. " They shook hands cordially , and this strangely ns- sorted pair sat down at the table to cat. Mrs. T. und her daughter wcro very pleasant and agreeable , but the old man said nothing. After supper ho wont out in the yard and sat on a log for a long time , whittling and chownig tobacco. Ac last ho came In and said , abruptly : ' "Young follor , I've been a-thinkin' , and of yor dead in earnest about what yor said , thot there's to bo no one chief in these parts but ole Thompson , I won't take yor to jail , and ycr kin go home. " The young man's heart leaped into his throat as ha grasped the old chap's hand und shook it warmly. Ho hud concolvcd a great admiration for the old man , and expressed it. Hero was a man so much worse than himself ho was proud to call him chief and acknowledge knowledge- authority over him. ' Ycr bet , dud , it's all right , nnd yor chief every time ! " cried the young des perado , wringing the old man's hand uguin. "Well , then , none o ! yor monkey shines when I'm ' 'roun' , raid BOO yor don't fergit it' Jake , bring him his horse and hero's yor guns , young feller. " THU WOMAN HAD LOOKKD ON , SMIL INGLY , and when the old man passed him over his pistols , the young dcsporudo made a deep bow to the two women which they returned with polite cour tesy. tesy.Bidding Bidding this strange family good bye the young man sprang upon his horse and rode swiftly away. Ilehai ] strange thoughts us ho wont back to his ranch. Tn all his lifo ho had never soon a fam ily like this ono and naturally his rough mi Uiro was charmed with thorn. I subsequently leiirnd the history of this strange family and may as well re late it here in my story as nnvwhoro. Thompson had formerly lived in Iowa about six miles from Sioux City , in the valley of the Big Sioux rivor. Mutters did not turn out well with nitn nnd ho moved to Nebraska anil settled on tlio Big Blue rivor. Thompson wns a good naturccl farmer and loved his family. For many years ho hud been an cxom- plnry husband nnd futhor. IIo seemed , however , to bo unfortunate in all his efforts to got on in the world nnd this soured him aud uiado him ill-natured. IIo was a man of Herco and forbidding aspect but not half us savage as ho looked. At last ho took to drink and became a despcrato character. Ho made frequent trips from his farm on the Blue to Hook's ranch , or "Dog Town" as it was then called. Hero ho would become drunk and associate with all the rough characters that/frequented the place. .Ho had prodigious strength nnd was a quick and dead shot. Ho soon came to be a leader among the men ho associated with , and nearly everyone - oryono was ufruid of him. The moro sight of old "Dud Thompson "as they called him would quiet the most reckless desperado. It was not long until ho took to card playing , a thing ho hud never done before , and soon became a persistent gambler. At lirst ho would play only for the drinks , but before long ho bet anything ho had with him. Being a man of intelligence ho brooded over his sorrow in his cups and at the gambling tablo. When very drunk ho would cut-so himself and speak of his neglected wife and daughter who ho know were looking anxiously for his return home. Ho praised his daughter constantly and declared always she was the handsomest nnd best girl in the world. Among tno old man's boon compan ions nnd always a patient listener to his praise of his daughter was Long Nosed Ned , the stngo driver. He would sit for hours and hear the old farmer praise "his Mary" as ho called hor. Ned was a man devoid of honor or soul and a conHrmod gambler. Ho was ulways flashily dressed , always playing aiid constantly , when ho could got there , in the society of old mat : Thompson. Ho encouraged Thompson to drink and play and seemed anxious the old man should sink lower and lower in the scale of degradation. Ono evening when they had boon playing and drinking all day , for Thompson was now nearly always at Hook's Ranch , Nod bantered Thompson to put his horses and wagon uo against a hundred dollars which ho produced. The old man thinking ho could win did so and soon lost his team. Thou Nod bantered him to play for his farm und put up iho team aud two hundred dollars against the claim. Thinking ho could win his team back as well as the two hundred dollars. The furmea staked his claim nnd lost. Rising from the tublo ho realized what ho had done and said ho was ruined. Ho said ho would go homo , but reflected , ho had no team now to go homo with. The moro ho reflected ho moro desperate seamed his situation. Nod plied him with liquor , and when ho had Him properly drunk ho said , jokingly , ho would put up the farm team and $ oO in money against HIS nAUOIITKH JIAUY. Not knowing what ho did nnd crazed with liquor the iurmor satdown to play. The rough characters gathered about the table to see the play. Of course , the advantage was with Ned from the first aud tlio farmer soon lost , hi ? daughter going with hla team and farm to Nod. Slowly rising from the table Ned wont out , hitched up the team , then calling for a quart bottle of whisky invited the farmer to got into the wugon and said they would go homo. Perhaps It was the whisky that induced him , but tlio farmer made no objection nnd climbing into the wagon took a seat by the side of Nod. They drank heavily , Nod frequently passing the bottle saying it was a chilly evening and they needed to warm up a bit. It wns a long ride over the snndy roads nnd they did not roach Thompson's ( now Ned's ) ranch until after 10 o'clock. They found Mrs. Thoinoson and hoi1 daughter sitting up , patiently uwaitli the return of the husband and father. QThoy wore a good deal surprised to see the old man bring homo with him a drunKun companion , for ho had never done so before. Still they thought ho hud drum ; moro than ubual and could not , perhaps , manaao the team and that Nod hud como along to drive him homo. So they received the stranger kindly , and Into as it was sot about preparing - paring supper for them , for the long ride had made them hungry. Willie the supper was Loing cooked , Mary could not but woudor at the drunken stage driver's conduct. Ho stared at her , winknd and leered in tlio most outrageous manner. The old man continued to drhik from Ned's bottlu quite frequently and ns soon as ho had his supper staggered oil to hod and in n few moments was deep in a drunken ulumbor. Nad now torn Mary and her mother all that had happened and wound up his disgusting recital with : "So now yon nro my own HttJo woman Mary , and como hero and give mo a hug and a kiss. " At the same time ho caught hold ot hoi' , but she tore loose from him and ran into the other old man's room , mon- tlonod In the first part of this story. IIo was her uncle and an elder brother other father. She waked him up and told him what had happened , but ho scorned to euro very Httlo about It. Ho told her to go to bed and In the morn ing when her father was sober , ho would fix it all up. As Mary came from the room , she found Long Nosed Nod watching for her , and ho caught hold of her again. With a dcsporato effort she throw off his grasp , and springing from the door fled down the nath to the barn. Hero she hid herself in vacant stall. It was not long until she heard Nod and her father coming down the path , and to save herself from being found she climbed out through a snimro hole at the back of the stable anil 1UI > 1IUUS1SLV IN THE AVKKD8 behind the barn. Hero she lay qulot until the barn had boon searched , and then she heard her father say they would go back to the house and got a Iantorn. „ Scarcely knowing what she did or where she was going , ns soon as they disappeared from the barn Mary sprang up and ran to the river. Her lirst impulse - pulse was to cast herself In and end all her troubles. While she was debating in her mind what she should do she heard the din of a paddlelor the stream was quite high , and looking up saw three Indians crossing in a canoe noa hor. They wore Pawnees , and could not help seeing her. They aid BOO her , and taking her white figure for a spirit uttered unearthly cries and lied back across the stream and over the pralrlo whence thay had come. Their cry startled Mary , and knowing the men would soon bo down to see what it meant she ran swiftly up the rivor. On and on she went through the damp night , her hair streaming out on the wind behind her. Once a grey wolf crossed her path and growled at her , but she ran toward him and the frightened boiiht lied into thu undergrowth. For hours and hours she traveled onward not knowing whither she was going. The daylight was breaking in the cast when HIO saw a rude cabin just boforc her , and drag ging her tire.- limbs to the door had just strength to rap on it when she sank down completely ovhaustodand faintsii. "Who is theroV" cnmo from within , but there was no answer. "If you don't tell mo who you arc I shall tire through the door , " said the voico. Still there was no reply. After a long delay the door was partially opened and a young man peered cau tiously out. When he saw in the now risen light of the morning a woman lying on the doorstop ho could scarcely believe his own oyos. Tenderly ho raised her up and bore her into his cabin. Then when ho saw it was Mary , his neighbor's daughter , of whom ho had thought constantly ot late , u great joy welled up in his heart und ho was as gentle and tender as any woman could have been with hcrr She oponoJ her eves and asked piteonsly. "Whore tun I , what has happened:1' : ' Then , as if rcmomborincr seine terri ble peril , she cried out , "Oh don't let him hurt mo ! Save mol Save mo ! " "You ; ire safe and I won't let anybody hurt you. Don't you know mcV lam the Hunter of the Blue and you are Mary Thompson. There now , you are very tired and you must sloop while I get you something to cat. Go to bleep like a , good girl , for you are safe hero. " With a smile the tired girl closed hoi- eyes , and gently spreading his coatovcr her , for it was a cold morning , the young man turned away and wont out of the door , gently closing it behind him. Ho sat down to think , but could make nothing out of so strange an occurrence. What had happened to bring Mary to his lonely cabin and cause her to seek shelter and protection of him. Ho could not tell , but ono thing was certain , there she was , and HIS AVOUI.D DUFKXD HKIl with the last drop ot his heart's blood. When ho stole into the cabin later , Mary was sleeping deeply. Now and then a sob would heave her breast , but she dijl not wake. Ho ( ja/.ed at her u long time , and thouglft ho had never seen so beautiful a woman in his life bo- fore. With such a girl ho might bo a man , and his heart ru o in prideand ho vowed ho would try for her sake oven if ho could not win hor. He cooked some fresh fish , fried some autelopoj made coffee , and did the best ho coulu to get up some thing for his guest to cat when she awakened. Still she slept on. and on , until ut last , whan the sun was far up in the sky , ho gently shook her and she opened her eyes. With a s'tart she sut up in the bed and stared wildly about hor. Then elio re membered all , and as if to help her the hunter said : "Don't worry. Sco , I have got you , ' ' and laying her hand gnntly on his arm , wild , simply , "I believe you , " "But you inubt no ; remain hero , " ho said , "that would never do. " "What shall I do. " she inquired. "Go to Kearney , " ho said. " 1 have a lady friend there who will take euro of you , and ttio commanding ofllcor will boo that no harm comes to you. " How easy it seemed to Mary to obey this man. She mid not a word in reply , and ho understood her. "I am sorry 1 have no horse for you to ride , " ho bald , "mino is doafl , but wo must go oven if wo have to walk , " Then he packed up some provisions for the journey und locking up his his cabin they sot out together on foot for Kearney. The journey was not a long ono , and ALL TOO SOON it seemed to como to an end for both of thorn. The hunter found the lady ho know , and on hearing her story she at once took Mary into the liouso. Than the hunter returned to his cabin , and to the Biirpriso of every ono while at Kearney ho drank not n drop of liquor. OA his return to the Blue ho Bought out Long Nod and gave him three days to leave the county , and it was enough , lie wont. Nod was soon afterwards killed in a druken row at Julcsburg. Thompson wont back to Iowa and died there. The young Hunter of tlio Blue continued to live in his cabin , but made frequent journeys to Kearney , and always to BOO Mary. Once when ho re turned Mary came back with him , and she was his wife. Ho had something to oat for you must bo very hungry us well as tired , after your long walk. I am the young hunter of the Blue and I swear I will die if necessary to protect you from all harm , Do you not know moV ho asked again , as she had not saia she know him. "Oh yes , " said Mary , "I remember when you wore down the river at my fathers place and I have often thought of you since. " Than she blushed and thu delighted hunter cried out. "Thought of ino , have you ? I guess you'ro the only girl then that over thought of me , " and he added , "and haven't I thought of vou , oh every day , and moro than u hundred times u day , too. " Soolng Mary blush deeper than over , ho checked himself and said : "But ooiao , you roubt cat aud then after that wo can talk , nml you must toll mo nil thnt has happened since lAOisdown tlio rivor. " Mnry < U < 1 out nnd < she did toll the young hunter nil that had hap pened , for somehow Bho felt strangely imppy and perfectly sufoin ) his pros- on co. . , o Ho listened pnUonily to nor story and his brow grow dark find hla eyes nnshoil ns she told about the btinio Nod and her father. "So that is it , pirlV Sold to Long Nod to pay a gambling tfo'bt'nnd ho was brute enough to claim you against your will. Not while I live , Mtxry , not while the Wild Iluntor of the IJlup lives , gal. I reckon , " ho said , droj > plHg suddenly into his mountain vernacular. Mary looked at him ivlUi , , , n woman's faith in her prown eyes , and the result can bo imagined. After marriage Ned stopped drink ing entirely and was a steady and industrious man , respected by every ono who know him. After the death ot old man Thompson , Mary's mother and her younger brother caino to Hvo with thorn , and to those B'JO ' add ed a little brood of her own , two boys and two-iMrls. The Wild Hunter of the Blue soon removed to another part of the state and became a prominent man. I would netlike to tell you his real name for ho might not like it , and norlmps you know him though not his history. Sullluo it to say that ho writes honor able boforc his name and is a credit to his state , a sulf-cducnted and self-made man. As for Mary , if you want to sco her , you can probably do so by going to Lincoln at the next meeting of the Ne braska legislature. where dhc always ac companies her husband , and two more intelligent and refined people i-annot bo found in the state of Nebraska to day than Marv and her husband , the former "Wild Iluntor of the Dig Blue.
