12 TIIT OMAIIA DAILY REE : SATURDAY , MAY 8 , 1898 ,
SALOMY JANE'S KISS.
T BY BAET HAATE.

Nevertheless , that night , after her father
had gene to bed , Snlomy Jane sat by the
open wlndOw of the sitting room In an apparent -
ent atlllude of langulti contemplation , but
alert and Intent of eye and ear. It wns a
fine moonllt night. Two pines near the
door-solitary plcketa of the serried ranks of
dletant tortsf--cast long shallows like patbs
to the cottage , and elghrd their splced I
breath In the windows. For there was no
frivolity of vine or flower round Salumy
Jane'n bower , The claming wns too recent ,
the life too practical for vnnllles like these.
But the moon added a vague etuatveness to
everything , softened the rigid outlhles of
the nheds , gave nbadowa to the lidless win- .

and the gaunt scare of burnt vegetation before -

a sigh end a yawn with the breath of the
pines. Then eho suddenly sat upright.
tier quick enr hnti caught a fatnt "click ,

quicker instinct nril rustic training enabled'
her to deterntino that It wee the ring of a
horee's shoo on flinty ground ; her knowledge -

the spot where the troll pnseed over an outcrop -

Such were the ethics of this strange locality -
ity that neither the man who made the offer
nor the girl to whom It was made were
struck by anything that seemed illogical or
Indelicate or at all Inconsistent with Justice
or the horse thleryrenl , conyerslon. Salomy
Jane , nevertheless , dissented , from another
and weaker reason.

She rose , threw her shawl over her head
i more for dlsgulso than shelter , and passed
out of tile door. A sudden Impulse made her
selze her father's shotgun born the corner
where lt'etapd-not that she feared any danger -
ger to 'herself , but that It was an excuse.
She mhdo'direclly for the wood , keeping In
the shadow of the pines as long as she
could. At the fringe she halted ; whoever
'tivas ' there must pass her before reaching the
; house ,
Then there seemed to be a suspense of all
i nature.- Everything was deadly still-even
; I the moonbeams appeared no longer tremulous -
lous ; tben',1hero was a rustle as of some
stenithYranf mal among the ferns-and then
n dismounted man stepped into the moon-
llsht'r'Jt was the horse thief-the man she
lad kissed !
For a ivlld moment a strange fancy seized
her usually sane Intellect and stirred her
' e 14mperijto blopd. The news they had told
her was not true-ho hind been lung , and
this was.blp ghost ! Ho looked as white and
Cplrlhlke ( n the moonlight , dressed in the
name clothes , as when she saw him lash Ito
had evidently seen her approaching , and
Inoved' quickly to meet her , But in his
baste ho stumbled slightly-alto reflected
suddenly that ghosts did not stumble-old a
feeling of relief came over her , And It was
no nasasslf of her father that had been
prowling around-only this unhappy fugitive.
A momentary' color came into her cheek ;
her coolness and hardihood returned ; It was
with a tinge of sauciness in her voice that
oho said :
"I reckoned you were a ghost , "
"I mont have been , " lie said , looking at
her fixedly ; "but I reckon I'd have come
back here ill the same. "
" Jt's n little risky comin' back alive ; ' she
anbl tyitp a levity that died on her lips , for
a singular nervousness , lutlf tear and halt

of her rdief a moment ago , "Then It was
you who was prowiln' ' round and makin'
tracks lu the far pasture ? "
"Ycp . , ; ' I ciiuo straight hero when I got

l She felt lila eyes were burning her , but
did not dare to raise her own , "why- "
she began-hesitated , and ended vaguely ,
" ! low did you get hero ? "
"You helped me , "
I "I ? "
"Yes. That hiss you gave me put life into
me-gnvo me strength to get away. 1
swore to myself I'd conic back and thank
! you-alive or dead ;
Every word ho said she could have antlcl-
Pated , so plain the situation seeped to her
now. And every word be saud she know was
Cho trgtb , Yet her cool common sense struggled -
gled against it.
' Vliat's the use of your e.caplng , of
you're comin' back hero to be ketched
again ? " she said pertly.
Ito draw-a little nearer to her , but seemed
to her the snore awkward as she resumed
her self-possesston. IIIs voice , lee , was
broken as if by exhaustion as he said , catch-
lug his breath nt Intervals :
"I'll tell you. You did more far me than
you think. You made anolber man o' me ,
I never had a man , woman or child do to
me what you did. I never had a jrl0ud-
only a pal like ied Pee ( , uhq picked me up

then ran quickly again , It must be nearly
10 o'clock ! It was not very long to morning !
Slio was within a few steps of her own
door when the sleeping woods and silent
air appeared to suddenly awake with a

She recalled herself instantly and dashed
off v'llthly to tire woods again ,
As sine fan she thought of one thing only ,

shots , was hurledly approaching her.
"What's up now , Salomy Jane ? " he demanded -
manded , excitedly ,
"Nothin' , said the girl with an effort ,
Nolhln' , at least , that I can find , " She
was usually truthful because fearless , and
a lie stuck in her
throat-but she was Ito

shots fired , " she answered In return to his
curious gaze
"And you've hid my gun somewhere
where It can't be found , " he said reproachfully -
fully , "Ef it was that sneak Larrabee , and
ho fired them shots to lure me out , be might
have potted me , without a shows a dozen
times In the last llyo minutes. "
Site hadn't thought since of her father's

This was followed again by a period of agonizing -

with her name at his yips , and she resting
hero inactive-until she half started from
her bed to go to his succor , And this went
an until a pale opal glow came lute the
sky , followed by a still paler pick ou the
summit of the white Sierras , when she rose
and hurriedly began to dress , Still so sanguine -
guine was her hope of meeting him that
she lingered yet a moment to select the
brown holland skirt and yellow sunboanet

she had only seen him twlcoi Only twice !
It would be cruel , too cruel , not to see him

She crept softly. down the stairs , llsten-

father in his bedroom , and then , by tht
I light of a fluttering candle , scrawled a note
to him , begging btnn not to trust himself
out of the house until she returned from
her search , and , leaving the note open on
the table , swiftly ran out into the growtng
day.
Three hours afterward Mr , Madison Clay t
awoke to the sound of loud knocking. At
Ifirst this forced Itself upon his consciousness -
ness as his daughter's regular morning summons -
mons , and was respgnded to by a grunt
of , recognition and a nestling closer in the
blankets. Then ho awoke with a start and
a muttered' oath , remembering the events
of last night , and his Intention to get up
early-dnd rolled out of bed. Becoming
aware by this time that the knocking was at
the outer door , and hearing the shout of a
familiar voice , ho hastily pulled on his boots ,
his jean trousers , and , fastening a single
suspender over his shoulder as ho clattered
down stairs , stood in the lower room , The
door was open , and waiting upon the thres-
old was his kinsman-an old ally in many
a blood feud-Ureekenridgo Clay !
"You are a cool one , Mad , " said the latter
in half admiring indignation.
"What's up ? " said the benyildered Madi-
son.
"You ought to be and scootin' out o' this , "
said Breclcenrldgo grisly , "It's all very
well to 'know nothin' ; but here's Phil Lar
rabee's friends hey just picked him up ,
drilled through with slugs and deader nor a
cow , and now they're lettin' loose Larra-
bcc's two half brothers on you. And you
must go hike a d-ti fool and leave these
yer things behind you h : the bresh , " ho
went on querulously , lifting Madison Clay's
dust coat , lint , and shot gun from his horse
which stood saddled at the door , "Luckily
I picked them up in the woods comin' here.
Ye aln't got more than time to get over tie ;
state line and among your folks nforu they'll
be down on you , hustle , old roan ? What
are you gawkin' and utarin' at ? "
Madison Clay had stared amazed and be-
wildered-horror stricken. The incidents of
the last night for the first tine hashed upon
bin : clearly-hopeleselyl The shot , his finding -
ing Salomy Jane alone in the woods , her
contusion and anxiety to rid herself of him ,
tire disappearance of the shotgun , and now
this new discovery of the taking of his hat
and coat for a disguise ! She had killed
Paul Larrabeo in that disguise , after provoking -
voking his first harmless shut ! She , his own
child , Salomy Jane , hind disgraced herself by
a man's crime-had diograced him by usirp-
ing lua right , and taking a mean advantage ,
by deceit , of a fool
"Gimme that gun ; lie said hoarsely ,
Brcckenridgo landed him the gun in wonder -
der and slowly gathering suspicion , Madison -
son examined nipple and muzzle ; one barrel
had been discharged ; ! t wits true. The gun
dropped from his hand ,
i : " 1.00k here , old man , " said Rreckenrldgo ,
with a dakening face , "there's bin no foul
play here. Thar's bbl no luring of men , no
deputy to do this job , You did it fair and
Isquare-yourself "
- ,
"Yes , by God ! " burst out Madison Clay in
a hoarse voice. "YVlrti says I didn't ? "
Reassured , yet believing that Madison
Clay had nerved himself for the act by an
overdraft of whiskyy which hind affected his
, memory , Rreelenridhe said curtly , "Then
wako up and Ilto outs at ye want me to stand
by you , "
"Go to the corral and pick me out a hioss , "
said Madison slowly yet not without a c'
lain dignity of manner , "I've aulhln' to say
to Salomy Jane aford I go , " lie was holding
her scribbled note , which be bad just dit-
covered , in his shaking Laid.
Struck by his kinsman's manner , and
'
h lowing the dependant rehatlons of tatbfr
sat"
and daughter , Breckenrhlge nodded and hur-
rled away , Left to himself , Madison Clay
ran his fingers through his hair and straightened -
ened out the paper on which Salomy Jane
had scrawled her note , turned It over and
wrote on the back :
You might have told mo you did it and
not ] cave your ole father to find it out lion'
you disgraced yourself anti him , too , by a
low-down , underhamled , woman's trick ! I've
said I done it and took the blame myself and
all the sneakiness of it Clint folks suspect ,
If I get away alive-and I don't care which
--you needn't faller , The house and stock
are yours ; but you ain't any longer the
daughter of your disgraced father.
MADISON CLAY ,
IIo had scarcely finished the note when ,
with a clatter of hoofs anti a led horse , Breck-
enridge reappeared at the door elate and
triumphaut. "You're hi nigger luck. Mad !
I found , that stolen boss of Judge Boom-
pointer's had got away and strayed among
your stock hi _ the corral. Take him and
your'r' safe-he can't be outrun this side
of lho stytq lino. "
"I air'tt"no ( hess thief , " said Madison
grimly.-
"Npbody sez ye are , put you'd be wuss-
a fool = -efY oii didn't ' take lint. I'm tesll-
niony that you found hin among your
hoaxes ; I'II hill Judge Doonipolnler you've
got hum , and ye kin 5011(1 him back when
you're safe. The judge will be mighty glad
to get him hack , and call it quits , So-ef
you've writ to Snlomy Jane-conic. "
Madison City no longer hesitated , Salomy
Jnuu might return at any moment-It would
be part'ocher "tool womanishness"-and he
was ' mood to see her before a third
party , 1IIe laid the note on the table , gave
a hurried glance around the house , which
he grimly believed lie was leaving forevei' ,
and , striding to thus door , leaped inn the
stolen horse , and swept away will : his kinsman -
man ,
But that note lay for a week on the
table undisturbed , in full view of the open
door , The house was invaded by leaves ,
pbie cones , birds and squirrels during the
hot , silent , empty days , anti at night by shy ,
stealthy creatures , but. never again , day or
night , by any of the Clay family , It was
known in : the district that Clay had flown
across lho stale line , his daughter was be-
liayed to have joined him the next day , and
the house was supposed to be locked up ,
It lay off the main road , and few passed
that way , Tlra starving cattle in the corral
at last broke bounds and spread over the
woods , And one night a stronger blast than
usual swept tbrough the house , carried the
note from the table to the floor , wliero ,
whirled into a crack in the flooring , it slowly
rotted ,
But , through the sling of her father's reproach -
preach was spared her , Salomy Jane had
no need of the letter to know what hind
happened , For , as she entered the woods
In the dim light of ( lint morning , she sav
the figure of Dart gliding from the shadow
of a pine toward her , The unaffected cry
of joy that rose from her Iles died there
as she caught sight of his face in the open
light ,
"You are hurt ; she said , clutching his
arm passionately ,
"No , " lie said , "But I wouldn't mind
that it- "
"You'ro thinkin' I was afeared to come
back last night , when I beard the shootin' ,
but I did come , " she went or , feverishly ,
"I ran back hero when I heard the two
shots , but you were gone. I went to the
corral , but your boss wasn't there , and I
thought you'd got away. "
"I did get away , " said Dart , gloomily ,
" I killed the man , thinkia' ha was bunlin'
me , and forgettla' I was disguised. lie
'thought I was your father. '
"Yes , " said the girl , joyfully , "lie vas
after dad , and you-you killed hfin , She
again caught his hand admiringly ,
But ho did not respond. Possibly there
were points of honor which this liorso thief
felt vaguely with her father , "Listen , " he
said , grimly , "Others think it was your
father killed hhu. YV'hen I did it-for he
fired at me first-I ran to the corral again
and took my lions , lhinkin' I might be fol-
lered , I made a clear circuit of the house ,
and when 111red lie was the only one , and
no one was follerhr'-I conic back here and
took off my disguise. Then I beard ills
friends find him in the wood , and I know
they suspected your father. And then an-
ether man came through the woods while
was lilin' , and found the clothes , and
took them away , " lie stopped and stared
at her gloomily ,
I But all this was unintelligible to the
'
girl. "Dad would have got the better of
i him of you hadn't , " she said eagerly , "so
what's the difference ? "
"All the same , " he said gloomily , "I must
take line place , "
She did not understand , but turned her
head to her master. "Then you'll go back
with me and tell him all ? " she said obediently -
ently ,
"Yes , he said.
She put her hand in his and they crept
out of the wood together. She foresaw aI
thousand dlfilculties , but , chlefest of nil ,
that ho did not love as she did. She
would not have taken these risks against
their unhappiness ,
But alas ! for ethics and heroism. As they
were issuing from the wood they heard the
sound of galloping hoofs and hind barely

And here I might , as a moral romancer ,

eloped with hot' disreputable lover , destined
to lifelong shame and misery , misunderstood
to the last by a criminal , fastidious parent ,
nut I am confronted by certain facts on
which this romance ja based. A month later
a handbill was posted an one of the senti'el
pines announcing that the property would
be sold by auction to the bushiest bidder by
Mrs. John Dart , daughter of Madison Clay ,
esq „ and it wns sold accorillligly. Still later
-by tor years-the chronleler of these pages
visited n certain "stock" or "breeding farm"
in the Blue Crass country , famous for tlue
popular racers it had produced , lie was
told that the owner was the best judge of
horseflesh in the country. "Small wonder , "
added his informant , "for they say as a
young moan out in California ho was a horse
thief and only saved himself by eloping with
some rich farmer's daughter , But lie's
a straight-out and respectable mat now ,
whose word about bores can't be bought ;
and as for his wife she's u beauty ! To see
her at the 'Springs , ' rigged out in the latest
fashion , you'd never think she had over lived
out of New York or wasn't the wife of one
of its millionalrea. "
