That's what Qulgley said on pen-
sion days. But he held very different
opinions upon the other 381 days of
the year. Then money became to him
a kind of deity. For this reason he
was always an enigma to us.
When 1 first knew htm he was

always bright and cheerful. He had
an interesting and adventurous
career. He had been at the Fenian

years In India. One evening as we

lowing episode in his career. It was

in 18G7, and I was in my twentieth
year. The old Forty-second was sta-
tioned at Hamilton, a town 30 miles
from Toronto. It was Just after the
Fenian Kaid. Our barracks were for-
merly an old Btore and were situated
at tho extreme end of Mc.N'at street.
The barrack was built of stone, but
the out offices were of wood. The
barrack Inclosure was of wood also.
I have said that it was after the
Fenian Raid. Things had quieted
down. That was good for some of
us and bad for the rest. To some
natures adventure and excitement are
as necessary as food. It was so with
Well, the lolling about the barrack
did not suit my tastes at all. So I
took to reading cheap books of ad-
venture. The next best thing to be-
ing In a scrape is to read about those
who have been. They became tired
of things, so had I. They wanted to do
great deeds, so did 1. They ran away
from comfortable homes into the
lungle, and hadn't I, too, ran away
from the best father and mother in
Tlpperary Into—the army. Why the
army? It was a dull place after all.
Here, then, was I. almost In the cen-
ter' of the prairie country where all
these adventures had taken place,
with nothing better to do than wish
away time. Only two miles off was
the beginning of the virgin forest.
There It was that Deerslayer had
fought whole bands of red Indians
single-handed, and covered himself
with glory. T'.e army was all right
when there w .s fighting to be done,
but—well, it didn't exactly suit me
In times of peace.
There was a boy In the regiment
from my native village of Kil
sheelan, one Johnny Houlihan, (he
store armourer. He was no Bcholar,
but he could fight, and after all, that
was the great matter.
I struggled with the desire to run
away as long as I could, hut there
came a time when I could neither
keep silent nor Inactive any longer.
"Johnny," 1 said, when we were
alone one evening, "Johnny, I'm go-
ing away from here."
"tloing away," he repeated, "going
to desert!"
"Not desert." I replied, for I didn't
like the word. "Just going away."
Johnny smiled.
"It's terribly dull here," I went on;
"drill and pipeclay and parades, and
nothing more. I wan' to make a
great name for myself. It's only two
miles away to the forest and the red
Indians. I'm going there, Johnny."
"You're either a fool or a madman,"
he replied.
"You'll be proud of me one day,"
I said. "When the Kllsheelan folks
are reading In the papers of my ex-
ploits out here they won't forget that
Johnny Houlihan was my comrade.
Besides, what is there for a fellow
here?—Idleness and fourpence a day.
with maybe a pension of sixpence."
Johnny laughed again.
"No, there is nothing for a fellow
here," I continued, "but out yonder,"
pointing In the direction of the for-
est, "out yonder there Is life. A ride
and ammunition, that's all that Is
needed. 1 will be a chieftain or a
hero, one or other. If the Indians
dare me I will shoot them down. If
they welcome I will become their
white chief—a leader and a master
over them all."
"What if the Indians make up their
mind3 to shoot you?" Johnny asked.
"Shoot me, not likely. A bow and
an arrow against a rifle? Nonsense,
"But what about food?" asked
Johnny.
"My rifle will provide food," I r®.
plied.

"Not one
bit," I answered, delighted
warmly
"Dear lad. I will always be ycur true
friend" he said.
I could have embraced him at tha*
minute, the honest, simple fellow.
"I want your assistance to-night.'
I went on "At 12 o'clock, when all
is silent. I shall pass down (o the
closet. 1 have hidden my rifle be-
tween the closet wall and the wooden
paling, where no one would ever
dream of looking. My going to the
closet will cause no remarks. You
have charge of (he ammunition of
your company, and you can easily nil
my haversack and hide It la your
room (111 midnight. Then you can
bring It to me."
"Very good," he replied. "I'll be
there, sure enough."
"I shall never forget your kindness."
1 said, little kuowlng how true the
remark would prove In a way that I
never suspected (ben.
I was waiting for Johnny's coming
a few minutes before the time ar-
ranged. As I stood In the shadows
by the palling I began to think.
I reviewed many Incidents In my
past life. I thought of my moth-
er and my sweetheart, and !
pictured their amazed looks when
they read of my adventure in the
great American forest. The people
in Kllsheelan would be proud of me.
tho greatest of their many great sons.
As these thoughts crossed my mind
the clock struck the hour of mid-
night, and ere the sounds had died
away, Johnny Houlihan emerged from
the barracks as arranged. He ap-
proached me noiselessly, and we
shook hands.
"Have you got the ammunition?" I
asked
"Here It Is," he replied, throwing
back his big overcoat and shoving the
haversack inside. "You have a hun-
dred rounds here."
"Dear old Johnny," I answered, at
the same time seizing my rifle and
climbing to the top of the fence.
"Johnny," I whispered.
"Well."
"Johnny, we may never meet
again. It's a terrible place Is the
heart of the forest."
"Oh," he said as If with surprise.
"But I'm not a bit afraid. Johnny.
Only If I never turn up 1 want you to
write to my mother and tell her—tell
her that I died nobly."
"I won't neglect it."
"Qod bless you," I said, fervently.
"But there's something else. You
knew little Norah O'Halloran. a
daughter of old Tim's from below the
salmon pool. I never knew till now
how much I cared for her. Would
you tell her—tell her that she was
In my thoughts by day and night,
and—and—"
"And that her name was upon your
Hps at the last." added Johnny.
I reached down and caught his
hand.
"Dear, faithful Johnny. There are j
no hearts so true as the Kllsheelan !
ones."
He climbed up the palling half way,
and with his own hands strung the
haversack around my shoulders.
"Oood-by, Johnny," 1 said, preparing
myself to leap over the fence. One
last look around, and I prepared my-
self to Jump. Only two miles away
was the forest of my longlnp and my
dreams. In other years men would
wonder at the deeds I would do there.
the grandest moment of my
life. Already I felt myself a chief-
king among the red Indians. I
raised the rifle to my shoulders, and
put my hand to steady the haversack
ere I Jumped. As I did so the heart
sank within me. I had been duped,
deceived.
The haversack contained nothing
but broken biscuits.
I became frantic and threw discre-
tion to the winds. I shouted a ter
rlble malediction after Johnny. Then,
horror of horrors! all the windows
In the rooms of the four companies
went down as if with a simultaneous
thud that woke a thousand echoes.
Scores of heads peered through, and
wanted to know how I liked the
Jungle.
Johnny, the rascal, had shameless-
ly betrayed my secret.
After that night's adventure, I had
no further desire to go a hunting the
red Indians. And when I had time
to think calmly over matters, 1 came
to tha conclusion that Johnny Houli-
han was my true friend, after all, and
that there are no friends as true as
the Kllsheelan ones.

to Secretary Filson for filing one of
(he six typewrliion copies of (he con-
stitution slgoed by the delegates, and
a certified copy of the body of the
election ordinance, together with a
printed copy of the part containing
a description of the township and

uo more consideration than an- inner
bundles of paper which might be leit
there, and would not in anv way be-

ing
It is understood that Murray's next
step will be to send Govern :' Krantz
a certified copy of the elect'i .i orul
nance by registered mall.
In a letter which accompanied the
copies tendered to the secretary the
president of the constitutional con-
vention says:
"With the delivery of these docu-
ments to you 1 shall have compll"4
with the enabling act and ail re-
quirements of the rules of the coil
ventlon and 1 respectfully request of
you on behalf of the convention, com-
posed of the duly accredited delegates
of the sovereign citizenship of tho
commonwealth, and on their behult
ask that you call an election as pro
vlded for in ihe ordinance, giving the
people an opportunity of expressing
themselves on this constitution.
"Your attention Is called to tho
Utiles of the convention relative to
making seven original copies, each
proposed state of Oklahoma "
It now seems certain that Frantz
will not Issue his proclamation. In
that event Murray says he will call
the election, have the ballots printed
and canvass the votes himself. Law-
yers here generally believe that such
a proceeding would Invalidate the
whole election.
Murray charges a general conspir-
acy against the constitution. He says
in the course of a lengthy statement
Issued Tuesday night:
'On the day I called on Governor
Frantz in an eort to prevail upon him
to call an election, Dave Mulvane, na-
tional republican committeeman of
Kansas, was In conference with him
and other republican leaders in
Guthrie, which mean.; that the con-
spiracy is not confined within the

RESIGNATION OF BIXBY
After Four Attempts Secretary of In-
terior Gives Him Clean Bill
WASHINGTON: Secretary of the
Interior Garfield has accepted the res-
ignation of Tarns Bixby, commissioner
of the five civilised tribes, with head
quarters at Muskogee. I T. The res-
ignation takes effect June 30. This is
the fourth time Bixby has tenederej
his resignation. A few week.; ago
Bixby notified Secretary Garfield that
he was extremely anxious to quit th-
government service and engage In pri-
vate business. Just about that time
charges were filed against Bixby by
Marshall Mott, attorney for tha
Creek Indians. This delayed the res-
ignation, as he was determined not
to get out under fire. Secretary Gar-
field Investigated the charges and
gave Bixby a clean bill of health.
Secretary Garfield said there wcro
several standing applications for the
job, but that he would take his time
about the selection of a successor to
Bixby. He admitted he had under
consideration a plan to consolidate
the commissiou with the Inspector's
office and place J. George Wright, the
present Inspector, In charge.

SEEDING COMMENCED IK
WESTERN CANADA.
Th* Prospects for a Large Acrsage to
Be Sown in Wheat.
St. Paul. April 34. 1*07 —Word has !
been received at the office of the
Canadian Government In St. Paul that
seeding has commenced at various
points throughout Manitoba, Saskanli
ewan and Alberta.
The heavy snowfall during the past
winter has left the ground In splendid
shape for auccessful seeding opera
tlona. The flue weather of the past
tew days has taken much of the frost
out of the ground and during next
week there will scarcely be a district
In which the seeder Is not being oper
a(ed. The mos( optimistic conditions
exist aud In all districts the farmers
are busy getting things In shape
There will be a very large acreage
sown In spring wheat, oats and barley
i At many points throughout the three
provinces the newcomers are busy un
loading their stock and effects, work
ing night and day In order to get on
their farms and become active ageu
cles in the effort to make the year
1907 ihe banuer year In grain pmduc
Ing lu Western Canada. As compared
with districts many hundred miles
further south than this, it will be seen
that Western Canada ranks amongst
the first In the line of aeedlng opera
lions for the present year. It Is safe
to say that farmers who get In their
crop before the 20th or 24th of May
will receive magnificent returns. A I
number of those coming In this spring j
who had not their land prepared last |
fall, will break up enough land to get ■
In a crop of oats and barley and prob

the vegetables they will plant, will J
give them ample food for themselves

ADVANTAGE A WIDOW HAS.
At Least They Don't Have to Sit and
Watch Husband's Flirt.
"I taw such • pretty woman at ■
disadvantage (he other night." the lit-
tle real widow was saying. "She waa
married. She was sitting at a table
with some other pretty women and
handsome men and her husband. Her
husband begun to flirt outrageously
with one of the women. I wish you
could have seen the look that came
over her face. Everybody in the room
saw how distressed she waa.
"Now, what I want to know Is this.
Why didn't she go to work and flirt
with one of the handsome men to get
even? Anyone of them was quite
ready nnd willing, bu(, no, wives never
seem to be able to do that. They Juet
sit ready to cry, with everybody no-
ticing.
"That's the advantage we real wid-
ows have over wives. We don't have
to sit and watch our husbands fllrtlns
with other women. We know where
they are, and we also know that what-
ever they may chance to be doing,
• ley are probably not flirting."
A Fish Story.
Trout protection! Nonsense!" said
a gunner of local eminence. "Trout
are amply able to protect themselves.
Look at their depredations among
ducks, for example, and you will agree
with me tbat it's the birds that need
protection. It's a common thing for a
trout to Jump from the water, seize a
duck by the ueck, drag the unfortunate
fowl Into'the depths sufficiently to
leave Its feet sticking in the air, where
It can get no purchase upon the uni-
verse. and thus drown It. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird,
eats it st its leisure and swims away
out of the Jurisdiction of the courts.
Are there any fishermen? None? Too
bad. This would be a match for one
of their fish stories."
