eral Labor Notes.
The man who stands nround the up town
MackMnlth Bhops and watches the bars of
Iron converted Into various useful articles bai
but llttlo Idea of the mnpnitudc to which tha
trade cm bo can-led. To form any concep
tion of thU , the individual who thirsts after
this kind of knowledge should pay a visit to
the blncksrnith shops of the Missouri Pacific
company , which are run in connection with
Ihoir general repair shops , situated on the
north bottoms , nt the foot of Cnss street.
Thcrocnn bo seen the daily toilers , who nro
doliiB work that would cause "Tho Vltlago
Blacksmith" to acknowledge that bo know
nothing of hLs own trado.
Tlio shops referred toruntwenty-sixforgcs ,
anil Instead of having tboold-tlmo bellows
and a boy leaning over the handle pumping
wind , the power is furnished by a huge fan ,
more properly Imown as n blast. To work
this un engine is locntcd In the southwest
comer of the building , and connecting the
engine Is a bugo galvanized pipe , four feet in
diameter , near tbo mouth of which Is a fan ,
or paddle wheel , making hundreds of revolu
tions every minute.
.lust nbovo the fan , twenly-six small pipes
Icavo the largo pipe , each ono running to a
forge.
The lire In the furnaces Is lighted , the fan
begins to revolve and iu a short time the
blast bceins. As soon as tbo blast Is strong
enough , the fires In the forges are lighted ,
and from that tiinountll thcnftornoonwhlstlo
blows the blacksmiths are busy.
The forges are In rows , ono row down the
castsldoof the building , another along the
west side and two down tbo center.
The morning call goes forth , the fires are
lighted , and clothed in garbs consisting of a
thin shirt , n thinner pair of pants , and a pair
of low , thick bolcd shoes , the blacksmiths
and their helpers begiu lho work of the day.
The helpers are men wlwo duty It Is to
handle the iron , see that the ilres nro properly
coaled , and do striking when it Is necessary ,
which ii most of the time.
Tlio foreman , who is the "boss" black
smith , Is A. A. Oipson , and for twenty-four
years , summer and winter , ho bus dally
stalked about the shop , seeing that the men
are doing their work well , nnd uro making
things as they should bo miulo.
A foreman's task Is not an easy one , ns
while bis muscle is act burdened by the con
tinuous swinging of the hnmmer , his brain 1-t
busy , ns upon him rests the whole responsi
bility. The foreman must take all the orders
from the superintendent of motive power and
machinery , ho must see that every article
when it leaves the shop is nn exact pattern of
the model ho receives from the pattern room :
bo must account for every pound of coal
used in the forges ; ho must render an account
uiion the llrst of each month of every pound
of Iron received , nnd must also show how and
into what it has been manufactured.
Of course nil of'this clerical work does not
devolve uion him alone , as ho has assistants ,
but ho is the responsible party und the ono
who is known at headquarters -ivlujn ttio
monthly so.tlhmcnt rolls around.
To give the reader an Idea of the work ,
and the amount of material used ,
the books of Mr. Oipson show
that during the month of Juno his
men draw on the company for 202,4.r > l pounds
of Iron , and when It loft the shop It wont out
In tlio term of car axles , shafts , bolts , etc. ,
but It had all been worked over and wont out
In a different form than -when It loft the rollIng -
Ing mills.
It IH a mistaken Idea lo suppose that all of
the Iron used Is hammered Intoshiipo by hand
power. Steam power gets in Its work to a
yrcut extent , especially so In forging car
axles and the like.
For doing this work there arothrco steam
hammers , 0110 capable of striking a blow
o.pial to it,000 pounds ; another with a lr > 00-
pound stroke , anil the "baby , " which strikes
a blow of 1,000 pounds.
Kaeh ono of tnoso hammers work upon the
same principle ns a pllo-drlver , and as the
red-hot , Iron Is swung by u crane from the
foi-go It goes upon un liiiinonso anvil. A
sprlijjrls touched , nnd hi nn Instant lho pow
erful blows uro rained down with lightning
raplditv.
Tlio largest hammer is used almost oxclu-
cluslvoly in making car axles , driving shafts
nud heavy bridge Irons , and last month
worked over 08,317 pounds of wrought Iron.
The next hammer , or No. 2 , does track
work , that Is. It makes truck bars , "chairs. "
etc. , and during Juno handled 47,533 pounds
of iron.
The llttlo hammer has a work of Its own to
perform , nnd docs nothing but attend to the
forges und works over iron that Is too heavy
to bo handled by the smiths on their anvils.
In making car axles it is supposed they are
forged from sollu bars of iron , but such is
not tbo case by any moans. They are made
from rofuso.
Out along the various lines of road nil o
the old coupling pins , links nnd spikes are
monthly shipped to the shops , being billed us
"scraps. " When these scraps reach tboshoi
tuoy are unloadcilplacod la piles and thoi
built up In cord-wood style , In blocks sixteei
Inches long and twelve inches high , 'these
plies of iron are racked up close to ono of the
largo forges. To mnkn a common car axle
these plie.s of Iron are lifted over the lire pot
the blast turned on , and nftor they reach t
welding heat they go under ono of'tho steam
hammers , nnd by a few blows become a mas :
of solid Iron , and are known as "billets.1
Three "billets" will makon bar of iron three
feet six inches long , six laches wide anil
three Inches thick. Three of these bars con
lain sufllcient Iron for a freight car nlo.
For the nxlo for a locomotive ttio scrap iron
Is welded Into "billots" three foot six
Inches long and len inches wide , nnd ten o :
them nro used.
Tbo welding process is simple , as lho Iron
U kept In lho forgo tuntll it is broughtjto u
whlto heat. This being accomplished borax
Is spread upon the surface and tuo whole moss
racs under the hnmmer , when by a few blows
U becomes a solid bar and Is ready to go to
the locomotiveshops.wboro His turneddowi
to tbo proper size and shape.
I In making bolts and small bars rolled Iron
from the rolling mills is used exclusively. It
goes Into the shops In long bars , passes to n
man who measures the lengthand uuts on Ino
chalk mark. The next step is the cutting
which Is done by a chisel operated by stcau
power. U ho pieces of Iron then pass to the
forges , where the beads are made by hcathif ,
ono end , after which It Is upset
They then go to tlio thread-cutters
where with dies of hardened stce
threads are cut don and tlio burrs llttotl ou
The bolts are then complete and are ready to
bo counted und sent out.
In the blacksmith shop , as la all the othci
departments of the shops , each man has hli
Individual work to perform , and the man who
twenty years ugo commenced making bolts
Is possibly doing tbo snmo class of work to
day , so that a man who may bo a tlrst class
blacksmith In Ills own particular Hue , ma )
know knothing about the class of work tha
Is doiui by iho man who U working at the
next forge ,
AInny of lho men have grottii from boyhooi
to old ngo over their Irons and fires , Gut ii
doing so they have hammered out comfort

good wages and are beyond want.

The Clerks' Victory.
The 7th diy of July will hereafter bo n hoi-
day with the store dorks of Omaha , espcc-
ally so with tha shoo clerks , It being the day
upon which they adopted the early closing
hour.
Summer after summer thoclcrks have mot
nnd resolved for shorter hours , but until this
summer passing resolutions was nil that was
ever accomplished , for when they got right
down to the point some weak-kneed clerk
kicked over the traces and tlio work went by
default. Non- the dorks have realized the
accomplishment of their fondest Idea the
stores are closed when the 0:80 bell strikes ,
nnd their evenings are their own to spend as
they may see lit
The history of the movement Is an Inter
esting one. Two months ngo , ono Sunday
afternoon , n few clerks from three of the
Douglas street shoo stores mot , and nftor dis
cussing the outlook for lho summer's trade ,
ono of them suggested tbo Idea thai It would
bo a good plan to once moro try the schcino of
early closing.
The others , knowing that time and ns.iln
the movement had been defeated , solely by
the inactivity of otbcrclcrks , gave the matter
lmt a passing thought , but promised their
support.
The ofllccrs of the Conlral Labor union
lioard Ihal Ihu boys wcro again moving for
shorter hours and appointed a committee to
watt upon them. A consultation was held ,
a paper circulated , and 100 clerks signed a
call for a meeting to bo held the following
The Sunday rolled around but only seven
clerks resjionded , tbo others being nt Ilans-
com park , Munawa and other places of amuse
ment. Another meeting was called for the
following Tuesday , to bo held In the Young
Men's Christian association building , but
[ Iko the Sunday meeting It was poorly at
tended. Then a largo number of the clerks
gavoup in disgust , saying , "You can't do it. "
Lwt the workers wcro not discouraged and a
few nights later they met la Outo City hall ,
when a temporary organization was started.
This Instilled new llfo into tbo scheme nnd
another meeting was hold at which twenty-
five now names were added to the list. At
Ibis inocllng It was decided to go Into the
ICnlghts of Labor as tbo United Clerks' as
sembly. An organizer was sent for and the
assembly was put upon Its feet and the char
ier lUt hcldopeu for thirty days.
At the end of the thirty days the member
ship had Increased from twenty-five to ono
hundred nnd soveiity-llvo and the boys ex-
crtod an Influence that was felt. A committee
was appointed to await upon the merchants
undadviso them that on Juno 2fJ a demand
would bo inudo that upon and nftor that
date all stores should close atO : ' < ! 0 p. in.
Most of the merchants took kindly to tlio
plan , but argued that the notice did not give
tlioinsunlcicnltlmo to make some changes
that would bo necessary. An extension was
granted until last Monday , with the understanding -
standing that Saturday evenings should bo
excepted.
Monday , tbo 7th Inst. , was nn anxious day
for Iho clerks. While they Ivid every coall-
denco in their employers , they still hud some
doubts as to whether or not tlio doors would
closo. They were not disappointed , for when
the 0 o'clock boll struck , almost every propri
etor along the principal streets of the city de
liberately walked to his front door and hung
up a card bearing this inscription , "This
atoro closes ntf ) p. in. "
The clerics had won a victory , and half an
hour later they walked out of their places of
employment the happiest lot of men In
Omaha.
Hegardlng the effect upon the merchants ,
those who have adopted the plan state ' that
instead of their trade having fallen off , It has
increased , and almost daily they see hun
dreds of new faces In their places of business.
Upon investigating they find the people nro
Knights of Labor , their wives and children ,
who now will trade at no other storca except
these where the clerics belong to the MSOIU-
Tlio Voinnli Clerks.
Upon the question of orgaoUlag lho female
clerks , shop girls and kitchen help , the Cen
tral Labor union lias practically given up in
disgust , nnd the females are liable to bo loft
to work out their own salvation. A few
weeks ago tbo hopes of Hie members went up
llko n skyroekol , lo como down a few days
later with tbo cusloimrry dull Ihud. Heading
rooms and coffee rooms were contemplated
and the prospects were bright. The workers
of lho Cenlral Labor unbn were besieged with
letters and personal calls for help. The hand
was hold out and grasped by the young
women who earn tholr few paltry tiollnrs by
tolling from inornliig till night ever counters ,
sowing machines , pots and tubs. But tbo
grasping was about all there was to the move
ment.
The Ladles' ' assembly of the Knights of
Labor hold the mooting and resolved that nil
of the young Indies should have relief and
shorter hours. This aetioa was duly reported
to the union , which iu turn resolved in the
sumo line.
Committees were put to work to bring
about the relief sought. The young
women wcro visited nnd the time
for holding a meellng was set , but Ibcro was
a bitch anil the shop and store girls objected
to organising with the kitchen girls. This
diniculty was remedied by the promlao of
separate societies , and work was started
anew , with the promise of two strong organi
zations , but Instead of success , Indlfferenco
followed , and what at ono time promised to
bo n grand accomplishment in labor organiza
tion , proved lo bo a howling failure.
Later in tlio season , possibly , another at
tempt mny bo made lo bring the female tellers
within tlio fold , but for the present the move
ment will not ngaln bo agitated.
To Close or Not. to Oloio.
( bum , July 11. To the Editor of Tm :
BEU :
Toolosoor not to cln. o :
That Is the qiiostloii.
In order to show the public at largo just
this much-talked and
how
- - loiig-workod-for
subject of early closing stands , It becomes
necessary that both sides of tbo matter ha
scon. As n Farnam street increnniit has
given his standing on the subject In an nrtl-
clo purported to have been gotten up by his
clerks in his absence and which appeared In
the Omaha pipers July 7 , wo take the oppor
tunity to apprise the public of the facts in the
mailer.
About three months ngo , when the shoo
clerks began agitating the nmttorof shorten
ing their hours , which was from 7 and 7:30 n
in. to U and 10 p. in , , a petition to close at U p
in , was carried around to all tbo rota ;
shoo nrms of the city. "Wo succeeded la
getting all of them lo sign It except the Far-
mini stivot merchant , and ho gave us a verj
cool reception and said ho could not ulTord lo
close bis store earlier lhan 0 o'clock p , m.
The matter was dropped for a week or two
but It was ngnlti revived and the gontlonua
wns oneo more visited and again said thut ho
did not propose to close his store before 1) ) p. n
After his last refusal to sign the potltlon ho
goes to the Omaha papers and advertises to
close bis store at 8 o'clock p. m. . thinking
that ho would i | ucll tbo mailer and that the
other shoo dealers would fall in line and fol
low him. Hut not so.
Wo then proceeded to our work of enrlj
closing without his co-operation , and on Julj
7 all the shoo dealers la the city , with three
exceptions , closed their stores in the evening.
la the article published oa July 7 It was
stated that ttioyolso have a half day off on
Friday afternoons. This , too , la n now move ,
and has boon brought about by the action
ol the clerks' assembly in lho uialtcr
and the gentleman's men can well thank us
for this and all other privileges they now
enjoy , but which they heretofore novcr Icnow
It would seem as though they were aa un
grateful set of men whoa * they como out wltt
tholr signatures to such a ploco as was pub
lished July 7. Hut wo look at it in a differ
ent light , for with them it was a matter o :
worker play , uud who can blame them ;
Their employer claims that his men nro satls-
lied with tholr present hours and do uot care
to close at 0:30 : p , m. Hut lot that bo as it
may. It matters not ; that is not the point.
A majority of the shoo dealers do not employ
enough men to grunt tholr clerks such terms
ni ho has , but are willing lo close their stores
ntO:30p. : in , and this is something that al
can Join iu and none bo the loser.
It certainly shows a very uncharitable dU
xwltlon to hold out on such terms , ami wo
md reasons to bcllcvo that ho , aa ono of the
Idost nnd largest shoo dealers In Omaha ,
would bo one of the first to take hold of such
move. UNITBH CLtmus' AssnMDbr.

Ilavo women , in thulaco of sudden dauper ,
moro of thut quick wit which la known as
"presence of mind" than t'lcnl In the nature
ot thinpp one inhzht expect to llnd that they
have , says the "Woman About Town" of the
Now York Evening Sun , for the ability
quickly to perceive i. an emergency nnd In
stantly to adopt means for meeting It is only
another manifestation o that leaping of the
foininino mind towurd conclusions that we
call woman's Intultlon-Min instinct which is
displayed in the females of the entire animal
khisdom ua well nsiu.woman , nnd which is
particularly marked in u saving impulse Iu
the presence of danger.
Two days ago something happened over In
Brooklyn which gives color to the clalui that
women are rc.idior wilted Iu this particular
than men. A llttlo girl , la attempting to light
the gas in the baby'a sleeping room , set lire
to the luco curtains. .Three young women ,
who were walkin/j / in the adjoining yard ,
hoard the outcry of the child , and snatching
upsomo watering pots which stood near by ,
rushed into the house and up Into bedroom.
The flro had by this time spread
to the bed on which the baby lay.
The first poured the contents of
their wdthuring pots upon the bed , nnd then
carried both the children ton ploco of safety ,
then turned to aid the mother in tearing
down the draperies and extinguishing the
Humes. All this was planned unit executed
so promptly that heforo the flro engines could
reach the spot the lire w.is out and the young
women were receiving the congratulations of
some men who had stood In the street looking
on , unil who hud not enough presence of mind
in the face of danger to oiler assistance until
all nccii for it was past.
Another incident illustrative of the same
thing came to us a few days ago from the
west. A man had caught his foot in some
unexplained way at the side of an elevator
shaft. The elevator , heavily loaded , was
coming down from nbovo. While ho was
making every possible effort to loosen his
foot u little girl employed in the establish
ment hastily caught up u knife that lay near
bv , cut his shoelaces , and pulled him back
just as the floor of the elevator touched his
shoo.

A last and plcasantcr Instance of the ready
wit of a woman , moro Instant and cnlclont
than all the wisdom of two philosophers , is
the one told with gro.it enjoyment by was
it Kdward or C wrlcs Emerson I concerning
the difficulties into which Ualph Waldo
Kmerson and Inmsolf found themselves led
by a frisky calf , and the solution of thcso
diflieultlcs by the ready wit of their Irish
maid.
A young calf had got out Into the barnyard ,
and the philosopher nnd his brother were
called upon to driv-J it back into the barn.
Thov pulled gently at the rope about its nock ,
but Ik wouldn't bo led. Then they pulled
hard. So dU the calf. The impelling force
was then applied from behind. The calf lay
down. The two wise men then drew to ono
side for n few moments and applied their
deepest philosophy to the solution of the
problem. The result was thut they settled
upon the "shooing" process that Is the favor
ite amusement between women and hens.
This went on for some time , both men scam
pering hatless uud breathless about the farni-
ynrd , iho elate calf bounding nnd running In
the wildest manner , and leading In every
direction but toward the barn-door. Them the
Irish maid came to the rescue 1 With u snilT
of unconcealed contempt she stalked hoforo
the outwitted sages up to the calf , thrust two
of her fingers Into Its mouth , und led It , eager
and docile , into the b.u-u.

It is a notlcctiblo fuct.thnt women , especial
ly French women , huvQ always had n weak
ness for nouring out their feelings In loiters ,
never dreaming that they were doing mis
chief. A woman not only wants to know that
she is loved nnd see proofs of it ; she wants to
bear it , to have It constantly repatod to her.
Judging man by herself j she thinks lo attach
til in to her more lirmly by treating him as
she loves to bo treated , \vrltos Max O'Uoll in
Iho Now York World. But man Is of u dif
ferent mould. It gives him pleasure to know
that ho is beloved. Love mm then , mos-
dames. But If you want to keep allvo the
llnmo that burns iu his henrt for you , do not
toll him. and , ubovo nil , never write it ; you
will spoil everything \ you do.
Ono might tell tho'(1wliolo history of love

Tbo Women of Aries.
Superbly situated at Iho point where the
two streams divide , the Arles of today
troubles Itself very llttlo about either Its mi-
dent glories or its possibilities of modern im-
provcment.snys a writer in the July Century.
It is n city of dreams , where visibio relics of
all the apes group themselves with careless
giMco und a result of perfect unity. 'I'ho far-
fumed beauty of the Arlosiennes Is of n dis
tinctly Greek typo , straight-featured , low
brewed nnd delicate. It is enhanced by their
graceful black costume , with swelling Helm
of white loco and coquettish llttlo cap of the
sumo material set high on thehcad and bound
with a broad black ribbon , ono end of which
is loft free mid falls to the shoulder. Young
nnd old , those women , almost without excep
tion , Imvo luxuriant hair , curling lightly
about the temples. The suuillneas of the
head as compared with the size of the nock
another strikingly classic feature accounts
in part , no doubt , for their superb carriage.
Tins , too , is a beauty which they seem never
to lose. I have soon a heavy woman of sixty ,
with the murks of sevens toll about her per
son and carrying u big burden , who crossed
the central squuro of the town with the step
of 1111 Giniiross.
Water and lOvoiilnn Deiv.
So-called were the most dollcato textures
for ladles' evening dwssos over woven. They
were manufactured only in ttio city of Dacca ,
Bengal , and wcro regarded as the very llnost
fabric that could bo made , says a writer In
Harper's Bazar. In the latter part of tbo last
century and the earlier year.s of the present
over forty styles of these "Dacca muslins"
were In market , all manufactured from a
peculiar kind of English thread twist.
A ploco of the precious goods sufllcient for
a dress , "liftcen feet in length and n yard In
width , " weighed but 000 grains. This ex
quisite "gossamer cloth" was valued .it . 10.
In the native dialect it was called "abrawuu , "
signifying "running water. "
In Inter years this remarkable skill of
handicraft must Imvo greatly degenerated ,
for In 1310 the finest that could bo made of
dimensions above mentioned weighed 1,000 ,
grains and could bo purchased for JCIO.
Women as Dluors Out ,
Women as din era out uro rarely sought
after , says the Illustrated American. At the
conventional dinner party they are present
in nuinbors oquul to mulching the men
guests , hut in selecting the couples the
hostess usually asks her women for tholr
beauty , chic toilets , or because they happen
to bo wives of the men she desires ; very
seldom for any individual quality they pos
sess ns table ornaments not moro than ono
of iho sex in uVo hundred ever being able to
meet the requirements laid down for men.
Ono reason for this is their timidity in speak
ing or sustaining n conversation before an
assemblage of people , nnd the other may bo
explained by their utter IndltToroncu to
storias und anecdotes. A Joke or absurd in
cident that a man will roll imder his tongue ,
laugh over , and repeat for years , will scarce
ly tickle lho rislbles of his wife. Ho thorough
ly enjoys an audience who will listen to his
talk , whether grave or gay , nnd ho never
hours n good thing said without storing It up
for future use. The art which enables ono
to .strength en the current of wit or wisdom
set flowing round the table is of a high order ,
and it seems a pity that , when every day sees
the ranks of masterspirits Incroaslng.womon
should always bo reckoned as non-conductors.
The Testy ( crimtii lOmpross.
The empress of Germany Is said to bo a
young woman of exceeding llcry temper ,
says a Hauover letter to the Chicago News.
She was n Schlcswig-IIolstoln princess , and
was \vitbstrlctsoverlty is a thorough
housekeeper as well as a prollclent scholar.
But amiability is not her most notable char
acteristic. Of course nho cannot quarrel with
her husband , for thy ctlquctlo of the court is
distinctly rigorous ; but tbo empress is nt lib
erty to quarrel with everybody else , and of
this prerogative the young woman avails her-
solf. Some of her outbursts of temper have
been of a most humiliating character , betray
ing u coarseness ono would hardly expect to
moot with in royalty. The empress Inclines
to stoutness ; her features are ratbor heavy ,
but the expression of her fnco Is kindly.
She Is ono year older than her husband. As
for the ex-Empress Frederick , mother of the
present omntM-or , she Is a plcturo of her
mother , tbe queen of England.
A. Olrl'H lloHt Charm.
My dear girls , keep yourselves looking as
sweet nnd dainty as possible , says a writer
in tlio Ladles' Homo Journal. Never under
value the cliar.ii of an ngreeablo appearance.
It U the most delightful letter of Introduc
tion that can bo given to a stranger , and there
Is no reason in the world why every woman
should not bo ploasantto look upon. A famous
woman oncosald , "Thcronronougly women :
there are only women who do not understand
how to make themselves buautlful. " This is
absolutely truo. Bo the right thing for you
to do Is to sit down , think it over and make
yourself the charming example that points
tuo moral of this.

Boston Glebe : Amid lho rook-built
solitudes of the Cojw D'Alono mount
ains , in the far northern portion of
Iihiluvjuul under the shadow of tower
ing ponies , lies a beautiful shoot of water
known as Spirit lalco.
Many moons ngo so runs the fanciful
legend told yet In the topocs of the redman
man it wns lho homo and stronghold of
the once powerful tribe of Iilnlios.
Then Gray Kaglo wns hetul chief and
enchuiu of the tribe , and Dancing
Flower , his only daughter , wns famed as
lho most beautiful maiden in nil the
northern country.
She , llko most maidens who hnvo at
tained the ngo of eighteen , hud a lover ,
a young chief of lho Crow * , named Kun-
ning Wolf , und , as the two nations were
porjxjtually at war with ono nnother ,
the course of their love did not run
smooth.
"Whilo she wns yet a child , Gray Kaglo
hud betrothed Dancing Flower to Black
Hawk , a chief second only to himself in
wenlth nnd authority ; hut the fair glii
regarded with great disfavor the suit of
the warrior whom her father had chosen ,
nnd ns she grow in years nnd beauty her
strong dlsliko grow also , until , stung by
her coldness anil disdain , Black Hawk
had so fur forgotten his prldo and man
hood as to go to her father with n bitter
complaint of her rebellious conduct.
The old chief , in a towering rage ,
dragged his daughter before Blaek
Hawk , swourinfr by the graves of Ills
ancestors that she should wed him uro
the waning of another moon or dio.
Dancing Flower pleaded in vain for
moroy or ronriovo. The grim old chief
would not bo moved or rolont. At hist ,
in very hopelessness , she conscd to
struggle agaiust her fulo and Bank into
the passive sllcnro of despair , though in
her secret heart she vowed that rather
than marry her hateful suitor she would
lling herself from the great clllfs that
overhung the Inko.
Tlio days lied by , and the ovll hour
was at hand. Eluding her watchful
guardians by some subtle feint , Dancing
Flower stole away into the depths of the
forest at early dawn of the day whoso
nurplo close might see her an unwilling
bride. Fur from the lodges of her father
she sped like a frightened fawn , till aho
reached a deep glade that had witnessed
the wooing of the hapless lovers in
brighter days.
Dancing Flower sent forth the shrill
whirring cry of the wood duck , n signal
known only to her lever nud borsolf.
Presently the sharp bark of the moun
tain fox was hoard in the distance , nnd
in a mnrvollouBly short space of time
Dancing Flower WHS clasped to the
breast of her dusky lover.
Nestled in his protecting arms , and
uovorod by the gay folds of Ills blanket ,
the dnrk-oyod maid poured forth the
story of her persecutions and despair.
EunningWolf listened in grimsllonco.
When the story was finished ho gave
vent to his ponl-up rngo in a yell of
anger nnd donanco , and , brandishing'his
sealping-knlfo abroad , ho swore n bitter
oatli to spill the lifo blood of his rival
and boar off his bride in triumph.
" with Flower " ho
"Fly mo , Dancing ,
pleadod. "Iloturn no moro to lho lodges

setting sun wo will socle n now homo nnd
a now lifo together. In some green vnl-
loy of the western hilla wo will build
our camp lire where the foot of the
Idaho hath no vor trod. I will hunt the
spotted untolopo for thee , and the red
doer of tlio forest. The winds of the
desert shall not touch thco rudely , and
the sunshine of thy presence will make
my ledge beautiful forovor. ' '
But to his passionate pleading Danc
ing Flower turned a deaf onr.Voll nho

And BO it wns arranged.Vlth ono
long , wild , clinging orabraco of love and

"when the moon rises ever Spirit
mountain and BCUS her fuco In the clear
waters of the lalco , I will como ; bo

upon his heel and vanished into the
tangled forest.
Sorrowful , yet thrilled by a gleam of
of hono. Dancing Flower Btolo back to
tlio lodge of her father und watched
with mingled feelings the preparations
for hotmurrlugo. .
The space In front of the grout council
house was choson. and already the
squaws were heaping up huge piles of
brush and fat wood for the liruH that
were to light then1 feasting and inorry
making. '
The council house stood upon a groan
nnd level spot within a stono'8 throw of
the lalco , and where the stupendous ulIITs
that walled the silvery shoot dipped sud
denly down , forming a natural and
gigantic gateway that sot upon the
sandy margin of tlio waters ,
Ju t around the mighty jut of the but
tressed portal , in a hidden cove guarded
by ono watchful sontlnol , lay the cunoea
of the tribe the frail Hoot by moans ol
which hunting and war parties travorbcil
the waters of the Inko.
A Htrnngo nnd ominous stlllno.ss foil
upon this hidden nook ns the day word
in n stillness broken only by the soft
applng of the water in thudnrk roi'osnos
of the slioro nnd the faint moaning of u
Itful wind among the ghostly nines that
crowned the binnmlts of the elllT .
The purple dusk came down upon tlin
hills of Ciutir D'Alono , and wrapped
ihont the lonely valley nnd shining hike.
The stars unino out In the dark blno
vault above , already silvery with the
In.stro of lho rising moon.
Tlio festival lli'ott were kindled , nnd ,
crackling anil leaping , i-ont uprent (
showers of golden and rosy sparks that
lillod the air lllco tlrotlIOH.
Already tlio tribe wns beginning to
gather in gaily bedi'/.cncd groups before
lho council houso. The hollow boom of
the tom loin ininglcil with tlio hum-so
gutlorals of the imii-rlngo ohant , Miuml-

To anil fro the little dnrlc llgtires of
the daneors , us ducked in gala rybus.nwl
urowncd with garlands of forest llowors ,
in the midst of her maidens Dancing
Flower came forth from her futlior s
ledge and wan led toward the council
house , where the grout inon ot ( ho tribe
awnitod the beginning of the ceremony.
Aa fiho moved slowly forward with
bowed head nnd lagging f > ton the moon
just touched the peak of Spirit moiintatn
and the wild mournful howl otlhoinoun-
tain wolf rose above the Jubilunt noises
of the revol.
Dancing Flower's heart leapt with a
strnngo joy , but the next Instant her
spirits sank. Now Unit deliverance had
come HIO shrank in Kiiddon terror from
the ordeal. She looked out ovoi- the sea
of copper-colored faces surging about the
Ih-os ; how would ono mini bo ho over
so hravoand powerful coposingle-hand
ed with n thousand. And nor Hinall hand
closed convulsively ever the hilt of a
hunting knife she hnd concealed In her
bosom.
Gray Eagle strode to her side , and
taking her by the wrist led her before
the old medicine mini , while the dismal
notes of the torn torn Hounded In her car.
That venerable Individual , wrapt In the
the axaltatlonB of an energetic "pow
wow , " kept up lilu frantic tom-tom beut-
ing , while the motley throng crowded
closer.
Sullenly out from the midst of his
braves stopped Black Hawk , a hateful
lire hunting in his snaky eyes ns they
rested upon the cold , averted fnco of.
Dancing Flower.
A glow of ovll triumph transfigured
Ills dark fnco , and his broad bosom rose
nnd foil with stormy passion ns ho
stretched forth his hand to seize thu
rulu'ilant prize nhuosfc within his grasp.
At that moment the moon robO full
ever Spirit mountain , and the Inko
sparkled like a shoot of molted silver as
tiio mcdlcino mini for an inslnnt ceased
Ills grotesque incantations.
There was a rush na of a mighty wind
a Hash of Btool in the mingled moon
nnd flro light a wlld-oxultnnt yell nnd
a smothered cry ; and before the startled
Iduhos ooulil recover from tholr Htunned
surprise Running Wolf hnd the gory
sump of Blnck Hawk at liin bolt , ana ,
with the slight form of Dancing Flower
In his powerful nrms , hnd cleared the In
tervening space nt a bound nnd leaped
into his waiting canoo.
Ono wnirring stroke of the supple
paddle , and they are out upon the waters
md away beyond the reach of tlio yoll-
[ ng throngs who crowd the beach with
wilder yells of bnflled rage ns they dis
cover tholr dodd wmtinol nnd the use
less canoes of their rulneil fleet.
In vain they shout nnd goHticnlnto ,
sending ( light nftor llight of arrows In
the hissing wako of the Hying biirlc.
A lltllo while and the fugitive lovora
have vanished In the dimnoss.of the dis
tance and tlio night.
Fired with halo and vongennoo a
nicked hand of warriors at once sot out
for the opposite shores of the lake , vow
ing nollhcr to sloop nor rest till thu
spirit of Black Hawk wns appeased nnd
Dancing Flower , restored to her people ,
wns delivered ever to tlio judgment of
her angry father.
They never returned no noul of that
chosen bund the llowor of the Jduho
braves.
But days afterward a canoe drifted
ashore , ami In it , transfixed by many
arrows , were found the dead bodies of
Dancing Flower nnd her gallant lovor.
Thov Inld tliom side by sldo under the
shadow of the mighty cliff , where the
silver ripples of the luke lapped softly
and wondering winds stirred thn tall
grnasos with a mournful dlrgo. For
they said that ono BO brnvo nud frnvr-

The aged chief never recovered from
the Bhoclv of hlu dnnghtor'u loss.
And ever since the legend runs
when the full moon rhlos ever the peak
of Spirit mountain , anil her fair rollec-
