solitude. l'"or when she came down the next
morning the conclerRc bowed to her with an
nlr of May cynical abstraction the result of
n long conversation with his wife , the night
before. Up had taken Helen's part with a
kindly cynicism. "Ah. what would you It
wn. bound to come. 'The ' affair of the Con-
fcrvjtolre had settled that. The poor child
could not ctarve ; penniless she could not
marry. Only why consort with other swal

Oddly unmiRli. only Mademoiselle Mflue of
lier own landing exhibited any sympathy
with her , an.l fortho first time Helen was
flrlehtensd. She did not E ! > OW It , however ,
only she changed her lodgings the next
dav. Hut before flic left she had a few mo
ments' conversation with the concierge and
an exchange of a word or two with some
of h'r fellow lodgers. I have already hinted
that the young lady had great precision of
rtMrmcnt ; she had a pretty turn of handling
cp-"iulal ! French and an Incisive knowledge
of French character. She loft No. 34 Hue

but utterly undecided as to her real char

Hut all this and much more was presently
Mown away In the hot 'breath ' that swept
the boulevards at HIP outburst of the Franco-
G rman war , and Miss Iljion Maynard dls-
I appeared from I'arl.s with many of her follow -

TCVPM a quaint oH chateau In Hrlttany where
Major OPtrundcr was painting. Thu woman

"I ir.ust go to ParU , " he nld qu'etly. ' "I

"If you mean the young singer of the

"Madame ! "
The pretty fac" which he had been fa

Nevertheless she smiled , with an equal

wa * gone.
Ho left for Paris that afternoon. He went
directly to the Hue do Frlvole. His old resolu
tion to avn'd Helen was blown to the winds
In the prctpeot of Icslng her utterly. Hut
the concierge only knew that Mademohelle
had left a day or two after Monsieur hud
accompanied her home. And poln' dly

It was thro ( Jara ( > nftcr , Paris reviving
under the republic had forgotten Helc'i and
the American colony ; and the American col
ony , emigrating to more congenial courts ,
had forgottKh Paris.
It wa" n bleak day of English mimmer
when Helen , standing by the window of the
breakfast room at Hamley Court and looking
over the wonderful lawn , kept perennially
green by huiul'l KngllMi skies , heard the
practical iiuOfc'iitlne voice of the dtich"Nj In
her car , at the 1ame moment that she felt
the gentle womanly touch of her hand on l-er
shoulder.Ve arc going to luncheon at
Morclaml hull today , my dear. " '
"Why , wo wore there only last week ! "
said Holonf :
"Undoubtedly1 , ' . returned the duehrss
dryly , "and wo'inffy luncheon there next
week and the next following. And , " she
added , looking Into her companion's uray
eyes , "It rests w"lth you to stay there If you
chocse. " Helen' stared ut her protector.
"My dear , " continued the duchess , slipping
her arm around Helen's waist , "Sir James
has honored me as became my relation * to
you with his confidences. As you haven't
given me younj 1 suppose you have none ,
and that I am telling you news when I say
that Sir Jatr.es wishes to marry you , "
The unmistakable astonishment In the
girl's eye satisfied the duclicss even before
her voice.
"Hut ho scarcely knows me or anything
of me , " said the young girl quickly.
"On thu contraryi my dear , he knows
everything about you. I have been particu
lar in. telling him all I knew and some
thing * oven you don't know and couldn't tell
him. For Instances that you are a % ery nice
poison. Come , my dear , don't look so stupe
fied or I shall really think there's something
In It that T don't know. It's not a laugfilng
nor a crying matter yet at present It'o only
luncheon again with a civil man who has
three daughters and a place In the county.
Don't make the mistake , however , of refus
ing him bcforo ho offers whatever you do
afterward. "
"Hut " stammered Helen.
"Hut you are going to say that you don't
love him and have ncr thought of him as
a husband , " Interrupted the duchess ; " 1 read
It In your face and It's a very proper thing
to say. "
"It Is so unexpected , " urged Helen.
"Everything Is unexpected from a man In
these matters , ! ' said the duchess. "We
women ore tlie'only ones that aic prepared. "
"Hut , " peial'ted Helen , "If I don't want
to marry at all ? ' , '
' I should say' then that It Is a sign thai
i you ought ; If you were eager , my dear , I
should certainly dissuadeyou. . " She paused
and then drawing Helen closer to her , said
with a certain matcullno tenderness : "As
long as 1 live , dear , you know that you have
a homo here. Hut I am an old woman liv
ing on the smallest of settlements. Death
Is as Inevitable to mo as marriage should be
10 you. "
Nevertheless they did not renew this con
versation and received the Rreetlngs of their
host at Moreland Hall with a simplicity
and frankness that were , however , perfectly
natural and unaffected In both women. Sir
James a tall , well-preserved man of middle
age , with the unmistakable b-arlng of long
years of recognized and unchallenged posi
tion howpver , exhibited on this occasion
tint flight consciousness of weakness and
susceptibility to ridicule which is apt to
Indicate the Invasion of the tender passion In
ho heart of tlio average Hriton. His duty
us host toward the elder woman of superior
rank , liowovor , covered Ills embarrassment
mid .for a moment left Helen quite undis
turbed to gaze again upon the treasures of
the long drawing room of Moreland Hall ,
with which t'ho was already familiar. There
were the half dozen old mastcis whose re
spectability had bjeen as recognized through
centuries au their owners' ancestors ; there
were the ancestors themselves wlgged , ruf
fled , and whlte-hamlcd by Vandyke , Lcly ,
Itomney and Gainsborough ; there were the
uniform , expressionless ancestresses In still
brocade or short walstcd clinging draperies ,
but all possessing that brilliant coloring
which the gray skies outside lacked , and
which seemed to have departed from the
! dresses of their descendants.
The American girl had eometlmos specu
lated upon what might have been the ap
pearance of the lime tree walk dotted with
these gayly plumaged folk , and wondered If
the tyr'nny of environment had at last eub-
( > ucd their brilliant colors. And a new feel
ing touched her. Like1 most of her country
women , she wan strongly affected by the fur
niture of life ; the thought that all that she
saw there might bo hers ; that she might yet
s > tund In suecc.oalon to these strange courtiers
and Ftranger shepherdesses and , like. Hum ,
look down from the canvas upon the Intrud
ing foreigner , thrilled her for a moment with
a half proud , half pafnlvo senpe of yielding
to wlut fteqied to be her fate. A narr&w-
eyol , stlT-laIred ( ) Dutch maid of honor b foio
whom she vyas stand'ng ' gazed at her with
atarlng vacancy. Suddenly she started. He-
fore the portrait'upon a fanciful easel stood
a small , elaborately framed tkctch In nils.
It was evidently some recently Imported
treasure. She hid not seen It before. An

In a glance that 11 was Obtrandcr's sketch

It was the voice of Sir James. A voice that
had regained a little of Its naturalness a
calm , even lazy , BnglUh voice confident
from the experience of years of respectful 1U-
toiU'is. Yet It somehow jarred upon her
nerves with Its complacency and Its utter In-
congruQusneEa to her feelings , Nrverthclcfb
th ImpultM to know more about the sketch
was the Wronger.
"Do you mean you hav ? just lioufelit II ? "
asked Heien. "It's not English. "
"No ! " t'itd Sir James gratified with his
companion's Interest. "I bought It In Paris
Jiut after the Con\tnunc. "
' From the arlUil ? " continued Helen In j >
slightly constrained voice.
"No. " laid Sir Jjmea. "alihoupli I knew thr
poor chap well tuounb. You can easily see
tint ho v.-ia oner a painter of great proml-e.
I rather think" it wan stolen from him while
be was In the hospital by tlioue Inceudliry
wretches. I recognized It , however , and
bought for a few francs from them what 1
would have paid him a thousand for. "
"In hospital ? " repeated Helen dazedly.
"Yes , " said Sir J m . "The fact Is It was
tha ending of the usual Hohemlan artist's
life. Though In this case the nun was n real
artist , and I believe , by the way , was a coun
tryman of yours. "
"In hospital ! " again repeated Helen , "then
he was poor ? "
"Kecklcfls , I should rather say ; ho threw
himself Into the fighting beforePalis and
was badly wounded. Hut 11 was all the re
sult of the usual love affair ; the girl , they say
ran off with the usual richer man. At all
events It ruined him for painting ; ho never
did anything worth having afterward. "
"And now ? " said Helen , In the same un
moved voice.
Sir James shrugged his shoulders. "Ho
disappeared. Probably he'll turn up some
day on the London pavement , with chalks !
That sketch , by the way , was one that bad
always attracted me In lih studio , though
ho never would part from It. I rather fancy ,
don't you know , that the girl had something
to do with It. It's a wonderfully realistic
sketch , don't you see ; and I shouldn't wondet
it It was the girl herself who lived behind
one of those queer little windows I" thereof
Ihtte. "
"She did live there ! " said Helen In a low
voice.
Sir James uttered n vague laugh.
Helen looked around her. The duchess
had quietly and unostentatiously passed Into
the library and In full vlow , though out of
hearing , was examining with her glass to
her eye , some books upon the shelves.
"I mean , " said Jlelcn , In a perfectly clear
voice , "that the young girl did not run away
from the painter , and that ho neither had
the right nor the caupe to believe her faith
less or attribute his misfortunes to her ! "
She hesitated , not from any sense of Indis
cretion , but to recover from a momentary
doubt 1C the girl were really her own self--
but only for a moment.
"Then you knew the painter as 1 did , "
ho said In astonishment.
"Not as you did , " responded Helen , She
drew nearer the picture , and pointing a
nllm finger to the canvas , said :
"Do you see that Binall window with the
mignonette ? "
"Perfectly. "
'That was my room. His was opposite.
Ho told me when I first saw the sketch. I
am the girl you speak of for he knew no
other and I believe him to have been a
truthful , honorable man. "
"Hut what were you doing there ? Burely
you arc joking ! " said Sir James , with a
forced smllo.
"I was a poor pupil at the Conservatoire ,
and lived there where I could afford to live. "
"Alone ? "
"Alone. "
"And the man was "
"Major Ostrandor was my friend. I oven
think I have a better right to call him that
than you ha ! . "
Sir James coughed slightly and graupcd
the lapels. ' of his coat. "Of course I dare
ay ; I had no Idea of this don't you know
when I spoke. " He looked around as If for
"omo chance to escape. "Ah ! suppose we
isk the duchess to look at the sketch I
don't think she's seen It. " Ho began to
move in the direction of the library.
"THANK GOD , SUE HAS LETT YOU COME TO ME. "
"She hail better wait , " said Helen , quietly.
"For what ? "
"Untll-j- " hesitated Helen , smlllnRly.
"Until ? I am afraid I do not under-
otand , " said Sir James , stiffly , coloring with
a slight suspicion.
"Until you have apolORlzed. "
"Or course , " said Sir James , with a halt
hysterical laugh , "I do. Vou understand 1
only repeated a story that was told me and
had no Idea of connecting you with It. I beg
your pardon , I'm sure. I er-er In fact , " he
added suddenly , the einbairaitoil smile fadIng -
Ing from his face as hp loolicd at her fixedly
"I remember now it must have been the con
cierge of the house or the nnpsltc one
who told me. Ho said It W.IH u Husblan who
parried off that young girl. Of course it
was some made-up ftory. "
"I left Paris with the duchess , " said Helen
tlitletly , "before the war. "
"Of course. And she knows all about
your friendship with thla man ? "
"I don't think she does. I haven't told
her.Vliy Miould I ? " returned Helen , rais
ing her clear eyes to UB. !
"Iteally , I don't know , " stammered Sir
James. "Hut here she Is. Of course If you
prefer It I won't aay anything to her. "
Helen gave- him a first * glance of genuine
emotion ; It happened , however , to bt
Ecorn. "How odd , " the wld , as the duchcw
leisurely approarhcd them , her glass still
In her eye. "Sir James quite unconsclouslj
has Just been showing mo a sketch of my
dead old mansaide In Paris. Look ! That
little window wa my room. And only
think of It. Sir Jainrs bought It of an old
friend of mine , who painted It from the op-
uoslto attic , where he lived. And quite as
uneonsclousl ) , too. "
"How very singular , " said the duchess.
"Indeed , quite romantic. "
"Very , " t-ald Sir James.
"Very. " said Helen.
The tone of their voice was bo different
that the duchess lookort from the one to
thu other. "liut that Isn't all , " said Helen ,
with a smile. "Sir Jamea actually fan
cied "
"Will you exruee mo for a moment ? " said
Sir James , IntrrruptlnKly , and turning
hastily to thu duchess , with a forced smile
and n somewhat heightened color , "I Imd
forgotten that I had promised Lady Har
riet to dilvH with you over to Deep Hill
after l.inchcon to meet that South American
who has taken such a fancy to your place ,
nml 1 must send to the stables. "
"As Sir Jnmes disappeared the duchess
turned to Helen.
"I sco what has happened , dear. Don't
mind me , for I frankly confess that I shall
now eat my luncheon less guilty than I
feared. Ilut tell me , how did you refute
him ? "
"I didn't refuse him , " said Helen , "I
only prevented him dbklng me , "
"How ? " _
Then Helen told her all everything except
her first meeting with Ostramler at the rrs-
Uuiaut. 'A true woman respects the prldo
of those die lovcn more even than her own ,
nmlhllo Helen fi > | t that although that Incl-
dent might somewhat condone her subsequent
romantic pa&ifou in the duehrss' eyes , uho
could not tell It. The dtiehcfis listened In
fllence. "Then you two Incompetents have
never ecfn each other since ? " she asked.
"No. " "Hut joii hope to ? " "I cannot speak
for him " Edld Helen. " 'And you have never
wilttcti to him , and don't know whether he

or , "Then I have

tald the duchesE , after a pause , , " ! BCD that
you are condemned to pass your days with
mo In bomo cheap hotel on the continent , "
Helen looked up wonderlngly. "Yes , " ho
continued. "I suppone I must'now'mako up

South American who has taken a fancy to It.
Hut 1 am not going to spoil my day by.eeelng
him now. No , wo vlll cxcuec ourselves from
going to Deep Hill today and we will go back
hoine quietly after luncheon , It will be a
mercy to Sir Jamea. " "Hut , " said Helen
earnestly , "I can gn back to my old life and.
cam my own Hying. " "Not If I tan help It. "
eald tlio duchess trimly. "Your Independence
has made you a charming companion to me ,
I admit , but I shall nee that It dots not again
spoil your chauccs of marrying. Here coined
Sir Janice. Iteally , tny dear , I don't know
which of you looks the more relieved , "
On their way back through the park Helen
again urged the duchew to giro up the Idia ot
sailing Hatnley Court and to content to her
taking up her old freedom and Independence
again , "I ehall never , never forget your lor-
ng kindness and protection , " continued the
roung girl , tenderly , "You will let mo come
: o you always when you want me ; but you
will let mo also shape my life anew , and
ivork for my living. " The duchess turned
icr grave , half-humorous face toward her.
"That means you have determined to seek
ilm. Well ! Perhaps If you give up your
other absurd Idea of Independence I may as.
slst you. And now I really believe , dear ,
that there Is that dreadful South American , "
pointing to n figure that was crossing the
lawn of Hamley .Court . , "hovering around llku
n vulture. Well , 1 can't see him today It he

from his government. Hut I forget
the rest of our Ilf * Is to be devoted to seek

a good matchmaker , "
Helen was Iuno mood for an Interview
with the stranger , "who , like the duchess , ehe
was Inclined toi regard as a portent of fate
nnd a sacrifice. tSllo knew her friend's strait
ened circumstances that might make such
a sacrifice ! necessary to Insure a competency
for her old age.rand as Helen feared , a pro.
vision for herself ; i-ho knew the strange tend
erness of this marcullno woman , which had
survived a husband's Infidelities and n son's
forgetfulncss , td litigcr with her , nnd her
heart sank at the prospect of separation , even
while her prldo demanded that she ghoul 1

cherish the hope of meeting Ostrander again ?
The tears she had kept back all that day
asserted themselves as * he flung open the
library door and ran across the garden Into
the myrtle walk.
"In hospital ! " The words had been ringIng -

luncheon , through the half tender , half mas-

loved her he hid suffered and perhaps
thought her false ! Suddenly ehe stopped.
At the further end of the walk the ominous
stranger wJiom she wished to avoid wan
standing looking toward HIP house ,
Hov provoking ! She glanced again ; ho
was leMihii ; against n tree nnd was obviously
as preoccupied aa she was herself. He was
actually sketching the Ivy-colored gable of
the library. What presumption ! And he
was sketching with his luft hand. A sudden
thrill of superstition cnmo over her. She
moved eagerly forward for a better view of
him. No ! he had two arms !
Hut hla quick eye had already caught
sight of. her and before she could retn'.it
she cculd see that he had thrown away h's

near her with the cry of "Helen ! " upon hln
lips ghe felt herself staggering , and was
caught lit his arms.
"Thank God ! " he said. "Then she has let
you come to me ! "
She disengaged herself slowly and dazedly
from him and stood looking nt him with
wondering eyes. Ho was bronzed and worn ;
there vaa the secnd arm , 'but ' still It wan
he , and with the love which she now knew
was h'B looking from hln honest eyes.
"Sho has let mo come ? " she repeated
vacantly. "Whom do you mean ? "
"The duchess. "
"The duchess ? "
"Yes ! " He stopped suddenly , gazing at
her blank face , while his own grew ashy
white. "Helen ! For God .3 sake tell mu !
You have not accepted him ? "
"I have accepted no one , " she stammered ,
with a faint color rising to her cheeks.
"I do not understand you. "
A look ot relief came over him. "But,1
ho raid , amnzedly , "has not the duchess told
vou ? Has she not told you how In dc'palr
it your sudden disappearance , with my am
bition crushed and nothing left to me but
my old trade of the fighter. I joined n secrel
oxncdltlotl to help the Chilian revolutionists'
How I , who might have starved as a painter ,
gained 'distinction as a partisan general am'
was rewarded with an onvoyshlp In Europe1'
How I came tci Paris to seek you1 ? How I
found that oven the picture , your plcturo
Helen , had been sold ? How. In tracing it
here , I met the duchess at Deep Hill , and
learning you wcrciwl'b her. In a moment of
Impul'o told hen my whole story ? How
she told me thatthough ehe was your bosl
friend , you had never spoken ot me , and
how she begged , me not to spoil your chances
of a good match by revealing myself , and 150
nwakenlng a pnst. which she believed you
'wil forgotten ? * How < * he Implored me at
least to let htr make a fair test of your
affections and your memory , and until then
to keen away from you and her , and to spare
vou , Helen , nnd for your sake I consented ?
Surely , ehe ha& told you this now. "
"Not a word. " said Helen , hhukly.
"Then you mean to eav that If I had not
Inunted the park itoday In the hope of nee-
ng you , believing that as you would nol
icccgnlze me with this artificial rm , I
fl'iould not break my promise to her , you
would nol have known I was even living ? "
"No ! Yes ! Stay ! " A smile b-oke over
her pale face and left it rosy. "I sec It ol'
now. Ah , Philip , don't you understand , she
wanted only to try us ? "
There was a fllence In the lonely wood
ijiTlten only by the trllh of a frightened
bird , whose retreat wai Invided.
"Not now ! Walt ! Come with me ! "
The next moment she had seized Plilllri'-
left hand , end , dragging him with hrr , w r
Hying down the walk toward the house. Hut
as they neared the garden door It gmldoiiK
opened on the duchess , with her glasses to
her eyes , smiling ,

When the boundary line between Tennessee -
nesseo and Georgia way eetcblbhed , says the
Atlanta Constitution , it passed half a mile
south of the spring
Tnok-a-lec-chec-cheo ,
nmong the foothills of the Unakas , and , as
It crossed ono of the principal Indian trails ,
It became n place of much Importance.
There had already grown up a strong ri
valry between the Tennessee tribes , headed
by Chief Hess , and the Georgia tribes
headed by Major Illilge , both half-breeds
HIM ! men of extraordinary ability ns leaders.
Tlio establishment of a new boundary line
fixed the limits of their respective terri
tories , and , to try to harmonize so far as
possible the contending factions , the gov-
irnmcnt rstabllbhed a trading post there.
John Howard Payne appeared upon the
sccno and was accused of Inciting the In
diana to Insubordination. Ho was placed
under arrest as an Incendiary and carried
to the council house.
While Payne was held there , one of the
first bands arrived , and among the Indians
was the chief. Oo-clice , or Rattling Guard ,
a broken-hearted man. He was moody and
abstracted and refused all Invitations to
the council house and would partake of no
festive enjoyments whatever , hut ppent the
most of the time at the graves of hi.i wife
and child farther up the .valley. One morn
ing ho was mltsc < l. Weltering In hts own
blood , the body was found between the
little mounds that covered the squaw and
papoose. In tome wa > he had secreted a
liajonet , fell upon the point of It am ! died
on the spot where he had often expressed
a desire to bo laid for his last long iilcep.
A grave was dug on the spot where he
lay , and the chief was burled by the sol
diers , one of i Uw Moravian mUnioiiarlrs
otllclatlng. After , the nervkwcre over ,
John Howard Payne , who had been a sllrnt
witness to the pathetic scene , began singIng -
Ing softly to bliiifcolf tliti song which ban
since been cchotd through every land on
the earth. General Hlehop , who had kept
a close scrutiny on hs ! actions , heard the
song and called Payne to him.
"Young man , " Ha Id the stern old Indian
fighter , "Where did you learn that song ? "
"I wro'e that fcoiig myself , " replied Payne ,
"And where dldiyou get that tune ? "
"I composed that also. "
"Would you lot mo have a copy of It ? "

The South Dakota divorce Industry has
received an Impetus from the ranks of the
Indian tribes In that slate. At a lime when
the Institution was falling somewhat Into
disrepute by reason of slurs cast upon the
legal status of a South Dakota divorce by
foreign Judges there le a promise that the
mills of the divorce machine can be fed
with homo talent. A correspondent of the
Boston Transcript says the opportunity thus
offered the divorce specialists that swarm
In the various divorce colonies of reviving
trade by booming their business among the
Indians Is limitless. The marriage relation
aiuong Indians have nhvajs been more or
less complex to the whlto man , and since
Undo Sam offered serious objections to his
polygamous practices the Indian has been
less disposed than formerly to enlighten any
seeker after Information ns to how he stood
on the question.
At the last session of court at Chamber
lain , S. I ) . , Judge Smith heard three cases
for divorce In which the principals were
full-blooded Indians of the Sioux tribe. The
cases attracted great attention oven her * ,
where the divorce business Is so common ,
because It was the first time In the knowl
edge of the people that Indians had appealed
to a divorce court. The charges and counter
charges were not materially different from
these that figure In similar cases among
whites. Ono of them was particularly ro
mantic , however. It was the case In which
Appearing Earth sought the dissolution ot
the bonds that , held her to Klrst Horn.
Much comment was made over the fact
that the Indian Women keep their Individu
ality , so far as name goes , after marriage.
Although the grieved woman won the wife
of Klrst Horn , her own legal name had not
been altered , nnd she had a standing In
court ai Appearing Earth. She and Klrst
Horn belonged to thi > Crow Creek reserva
tion , nnd had been married there In October ,
1890 , by United States Imllan Agent
Dlxon. According to the complaint In the
case she lived happily with her husband
until Good Xatured Fool Hear appeared
from an eastern Indian echool two years
ago for her vacation. The maiden was
ranked as a beauty of the highest standing
In the Sioux tribe. She was selected to go
to the school by reason of her good looks
and Intelligent appearance , that gave prom
ise of easy eubmUsion tothe civilizing in
fluence of the cast. How far appearances
were deceitful is to too determined from the
course of affaire between Good Naturcd
Keel Hear nnd First 'Horn ' from the date of
their meeting. It was apparently a case
ot love on IIret sight , and the Indian maiden
made no attempt to disguise her feelings.
On the other hand , according to Appearing
Earth , she flaunted her beauty before the
eyes of the hitherto faithful spoiu > c and
finally took him away entirely.
The pair conducted themselves In such a
manner at the Crow Creek agency that the
Jealousy ot Appearing Earth was aroused to a
point where she was forced to take measures
to protect herself. Just at this point the
misguided husband and his bold charmer
lied to the Yankton agency In. defiance of
social etiquette and the Indian police. The
dcsertwl wife was BO determined In her pur
pose to prceecutc them that she persuaded
the police to take a hand In the matter ,
and the "couple were finally captured and
taken back to the Crow Creek agency. There
they were locked up In Jail ami held for some
time. Eventually they were released upon
promise of good behavior. The relatives
of Good > atured Fool Bear took her In
charge also , and again sent her to the
eastern school.
It was thought In this manner to break
up the attachment and permit First Horn
to redeem himself in the eyes ot his family.
Indian love , however , seems very much like
that among other people , and Is quite as
ardent as Indian hate. A short time aqo
Good Natured Fool Hear again returned tu
the reservation after an absence of almost
a year. During this time peace had been
restored In the family of First Horn , and
Appearing Earth had no expectation of an
other lapse on the part of her spouse. But
Jndlan women misplace their confidence as
well as do'their white sisters.
Good Natured Fool Bear had no sooner
returned than First Born began to seek her
company again. In a few days all the old
love had returned nnd he again lied with
the red-skinned .beauty. This time the
couple went to Gann Valley , the county
seat of BulTalo county , and were there mar
ried by Rev. E. P. Swartout , a Methodist
divine. In addition to their bigamy they
perjured themselves In persuading the min
ister to perform the ceremony.
The- couple returned to the Crow Creek
agency and brazenly attempted to live to
gether , although Appearing Earth was In the
sime nettlemeut. The affront was too nine
for her , and she had them arrested and ngal' '
thrown In Jail. United States Commlsslone
Stuart was appealed to and he Issued ;
warrant charging First Born with bigam >
At the preliminary hearing First Born'
attorney scored n semi-victory by argulnp
that the commissioner had no Jurisdiction
as the bigamous ceremony was performci
outside the reservation , und that the crime
was amenable to the state statutes alone.
Commissioner Stuart agreed with this view
and made an opening through which It Is
expected members of Indian tribes will pass
In largo numbers on their way to the
divorce court.
First Horn was released by the federal
authorities , and then Appearing Earth
brought her eult for divorce In the state
court here. Hie acts had been so flagrant
that ehe won her case without difficulty.
Some surprise has been expressed that the
charge-of bigamy was not pressed against
Firbt Born , and It Is possible that It may
yet be taken up.
Another one of the CPSCS had a tinge of
romance In It also. Several ycara ago
Maggie Crow eloped with Strong Blanket.
Both were free to marry at the time , hui
they did not choose to do to , and the govern
ment frowne < l upon their manner of arrang
ing things. In consequence Maggie \\as
packed off to the echool at Carlisle , Pa. , and |
Strong Blanket was given a period In the
agency Jail as a punishment. In 1893 Maggie
leturncd to the agency after three years'
schooling , and immediately settled down and
married Charlie Eagle.
All went well with the couple till recently ,
when Strong Blanket returned to the agency.
Finding Maggie there , he resumed hi * atten-
tlore to her , and soon caused d.scord In ' the
family. In n little while ho pew'uaded
Maggie to leave her domestic troubc.i ! be
hind and go off with him. This she did , and
In consequence Charlie Eagle was a success
ful applicant at the divorce court.
In the third case Never MUnes and HIT
Cane were tbo principles. Their story wan
commonplace In the extreme. Incompati
bility on the part of each wan alleged by the
other. The rupture wa ? quite as complete
as In the other cases , where a third party
had intervened , and the divorce was granted.
It may be noted that all the elements of
civilized divorce wore brought Into these
three Initial cases of Indian divorce a re
creant husband , a recreant wife and a couple
that could not agree.
