CHAPTER XV.
Lang Rescues a "Hunted Man."
The emigrants crossed the borders
Into the "Couvict Country" early in
the morning. At about noon they
came upon what at first sight looked
like an old-time palisaded farm house
and barn, surrounded by a high fence
iff logs driven into the ground. The
hfjuse was formed of logs, two stories
high, and fitted with shutters of un-
hewn oa.i, which could be drawn over
the windows when necessary. The
whole building was protected from
view by a magnificent growth of large
trees and an artificial curtain of vines
growing on frames which trained
them to run from limb to limb of the
trees.
Golden told Lang that this was one
of many outposts which formed the
defense of the city in the interior.
It was defended by three male and
three female residents and six import-
ed Siberian bloodhounds—a formid-
able company. The party was ex-
pected, because the gates were open,
and in the main room of the block
house were set out a homely hut sub-
stantial meal ready to be eaten, and
in the center of the table was a huge
jug of whisky surrounded by numer-
ous goblets and cups for drinking pur-
poses.
"Have somet'n'," was the greeting
of an old man who stood in the door-
way, and with the invitation the party
after tending to the wants of the ani-
mals, took themselves into the house.
After partaking of several rounds of
liquid refreshments and a meal of
solid food, before the train moved on
again, Lang, Golden and Johnson, the
proprietor of the post, withdrew to a
secluded spot not far from the i.ouse,
lor a little private conversation.
As a starter Golden said, by way of
preliminary to what he really wanted
fo say: "Johnson. I haven't seen you
for an age, nor Paradise, either;
what's going on in the city?"
By the way, I saw your wife. She
asked me to ask you to come home
for a visit on the 23rd of December,
because Millie (she is a lovely girl I
Is going to marry John Edwards!"
Johnson had desprted his wife. He
was not a sr^indrel exactly, but one
wno loved idleness and drink. His
married life had not been a happy one,
but ho thought a great deal of his
daughter. Millie. This last remark of
Golden touched Johnson in a tender
spot.
"If you come hack this way soon
I will pull up stakes with you and
we will mako the trip together.'
"All right, old man, wo understand
one another then."
The schooners being ready, the
word was now given to move on. Two
women were txrfianged here, two
knowing ones for two who were quite
ignorant.
Paradise, the city of the convicts,
was now but one day's journey away.
By hard driving the city would be
reached by r.ight.
For a long time they had hcen trav-
eling through a dense thicket, in
single file, Bronco George and Bowie
Bill leading the way. The schooners
strung out behind with Golden, I«ang
Llmpy Jim and Pete bringing up the
rear.
The distant baying of hounds broke
upon the stillness of the forest. Lang
peering through the thicket to one
side, saw a man running through the
bush. His clothes were torn from con
tact with the underbrush; ho was
coatless and hatless.
"Some poor devil trying to escape
said Louis to Golden, readily compre-
hending the meaning. "He wifl be
torn to pieces!"
It took the impulsive Louis but
moment to turn his bronco around,
and with a savage dig into the ribs of
the animal, dashed after the fleeing
man. There was a sharp race for a
moment, and then Louis got close
enough to cry, "Halt! you will be

but lie followed closely behind him
The baying of the dogs became louder.
They were rapidly gaining on the
fugitive. "Halt!" again called Louis
as he drew his revolver from his belt
"You foolish man, don't you hear the
dogs? Turn with me and come back
to the train. I will save you
The man halted. He could scarce
do anything else; he was exhausted
Ing the journey out. You can trust and ready to drop in his tracks
him, you know what that means!
Johnson gazed at Lang with differ-
ent eye3 than before and shook him
by the band most heartily. "1 am
giad to '-.now you," he said, quite iree-
ly. "Well, then. King Schiller passed
through here yesterday with two cap-
tives. Vou remember Schiller's oath,
don't you; how he swore to be even
with tha man who had him sent tip?
Well, he has him and his daughter .n
fimbo now—a Dr. Huntington -y
name, and to my mind a very refined |
man. A» to the girl, she's a peac.i,
but I'm afraid Schiller will break her
heart."
"What I wanted to say to you. John-
eon, in bringing you here was to ask
a favor of you. It may be necessary
for Lang here, or even myself, and
possibly a posse to leave Paradise in
the near future. Will you have a
relay for us, according to our old
agreement?"
"Yes, but how am I to know wheth-
er I strike the right party or not?
I might make a mistake and let the
wrong party through. I will keep my
pledge to you, Golden, but j ou must
be true; no traitors, you understand
I am a friend of yours, but I can't take
too many risks for nothing. See?"
"You know me well enough. John-
son," replied Golden, "to know that I
would not abuse the privilege, and
that in no case but one of life and
death to me would I ask it. When I
do each of us will be furnished with
the countersign we now agree upon,
and our special mode of recognition
I know you will do this for me, John
son, and I want you to promise to do
It for l.ang. I owe him my life, and 1
want him free to act for me and mine.
the tight like that made l>\ ti human
muuiug through tho bu.-h, Louis call-
ed out:
"Hello, you keeper of the dogs!
Call them off!"
No answering Fhout came from the
keeper. The hounds could plainly be
seen from behind now, ti-.« ir < - > &
shining like huge lumps of liv iig
coals. The noise made by the gallop
ing horse could not drown the noise
made by the hounds, whose breath
came In hoarse snarls and pants.
The train by this time had entered
the city and no one, not even Gold> n.
appeared in sight. A gust of wind
had blown out the torch left by Gold-
and the darkness now became In-
tensified. Lang saw there was but one
to escape alive. "Shoot to kill,
friend," said Ixmis calmly. "Make
ery shot count!"
The fugitive seems to have recover-
ed his wits, for turning In the mddle,
he fired into the ranks of the pursuing
dogs. The poor horse, loaded with his
double burden, and exhausted by his
long journey, could not long keep tip
he killing pace. He was paiillug with
rtion and staggered blindly. If the
liorso should fall the dogs would be
upon them. Both riders thought of
this new danger at the same time
each straightened up and I-ang
freed his feet from the stirrups.
The expected came! The horse
stumbled and fell! Lang and ti e man
he was trying to save seetned to be
miraculously protected, for they fell
upon their feet uninjured Now that
the fugitives were somewhat accus-
tomed to the gloom, they could see
quite plainly.
Hack to hack!" cried l.avg. "And
shoot to kill!" Both men now were
! cool as two brave men can bo
hen facing death.
On came the dops; foam falling
from their extendeil jaws. Being close
behindi the fallen horse, the man-
llling beasts had swerved sldewise
and now completely encircled our im-
prisoned friends. The two men fired
in rapid succession at the glowing orbs
of the beasts, and they had the satis-
faction to see at least two bite the
dust.
Before ttie ether doers reached them
up thundered a horseman from out of
the darkness. "Down, dogs!" the
newcomer thundered in a voice of
comnjand, cracking a great black
whip, which made a report like the
discharge of a revolver. The beasts
cognized their master, and obeyed,
but lay ready to spring.
I<oad up!' whispered Lang, as he
slipped a few cartridges into his re-
volver and placed the man's hand
upon his cartridge belt, so tiat he,
too, could reload.
Who are you?" crlcd the new-
comer. As he spoke one of the hounds
gave a long drawn out "death howl,"
which is always the forerunner of the
death of a human being. Lang and
the man at his back pressed closer
together and straightened themselves
up to resist a second charge.
Down the road from the direction of
the city could be seen Golden on
horseback, madly galloping toward
them, waving a pine torch in his
hands.
'I am a candidate on the way to
the city!" said Lan
keeper's query.
I am Wilson," quietly said Lang's
companion.
Call off your dogs!" said Louis
calmly.
"Don't you kn<*w that you have for-
feited your life by helping this man
to escape?" the keeper asked of Lang.
"I am saving him from the dogs—
not from justice," replied Lang.
The keeper's face took on a demonla
cal expression; he imised his huge
whip and brought the lash down upon
the haunches of the nearest dog.
"Then save him!" cried the brutal
man.
With howls of rage and pain the
dogs bounded into the air to sprinp
upon their prey.
(To be continued.)
NEW POLICY PLANNED
l.oula managed to draw him up De-
hind him on the horse. Turning, Louis
was Just in time to see the train dis-
appearing from view, as he thought
into the very base of one of the moun
tains. A lit pine knot swinging from
a tree over the roadway showed fully
a mile away.
The train men thought Ixiuis would
be torn to pieces, or hoped he would,
anyway. Whether he escaped or not
was of little consequence to them, feel-
ing that if he did escape it would
be but to run his neck into the noose
for lending a helping hand to some
one who was trying to escape, so they
drove on, leaving him to his fate.
"Why were you attempting to es-
cape?" asked Lang, as the two start-
ed on the back trail.
"I have been sentenced to death for
attempting to release a prisoner just
brought in, and made my escape by
scaling the walls of the city! You
will get yourself into trouble by sav-
ing me—you will have to share my
fate. Don't you hear the dogs? They
will tear you to pieces."
Lang was armed with a repeating
rifle and two revolvers. "Take the
gun from my back," said Louis coolly.
"Never say die! Shoot to kill when
you do shoot. Don't kill the keeper
unless you have to in order to save
jour own life—and leave the future
to me!"
Up to this time no keeper had appear-
ed. Louis had had hopes of saving
the escaping man without bloodshed
—tills could hardly be done, he now
realized, because the sound of the gal-
loping horse had attracted the hounds
and they were swiftly closing in on
tb« fugitives Hearing a sound off to
GROWING JET BLACK ROSES.
Englishman Discovers the Secret Long
Sought by Florists.
Florists in New York were greatly
Interested to-day in the announcement
that an Englishman has discovered
how to grow jet black roses, a feat
which has been vainly attempted for
many years. If a dozen of them could
be offered for sale to-day in the city
leading florists agreed that there
would be no difficulty in obtaining
$1,000 for the bunch.
On a few estates along the Rhine
practically black roses have been
grown for the last ten years, but all
efforts to eliminate a redish tint in the
center of the bud have so far failed.
No secret has been more closely
guarded by the German gardeners
than this one of developing even a
comparatively black flower. Visitors
are allowed to look at the bushes and
buds on special occasions, but what
ingredient has been put into the soil
to bring about the abnormal color has
not been told even to close friends.
In California a specialist has also
been partly successful in producing
roses practically black, but, according
to announcement in London, it remain-
ed for a peddler of shoelaces to at-
tain perfection. It was said to-day by
New York florists that undoubtedly
the color is the result of a chemical
introduced in the soil.
The same principle, however, 1b said
to be involved as in the development
of blue hydrangeas, which are pro-
duced fry putting iron into the soil in
\ihich ti*» plants are grown.
The black blossoms would be most
popular as indications of mourning,
but it was agreed by florists that the
day Is yet distant when any one of the
freaks will be seen in their windows.

fnterior Department to Look After
Young Indians
GUTHRIE: The beginning of a
new policy in dealing with the young
ln-l .uu who have bt en educated at
the government schools is announced
by Charles 11. Dickson, supervisor of
In in :.cl'i'o!s throughout the I n ted
States, w ho was in the city last week i
Hithi rto, an n general thing, little o.
no attention has been paid to then
after they finished their school
course, but now the interior depart
ment Is actively engaged on plans to
guar.iutee a future for the educated
Indian boy or girl.
A tragic feature of the Indian situa
tlon today Is the presence on almost j
every reservation of young Indians, ]
both men and women. who are well
educated and usually with sufficiently
technical training along some partic-
ular line to make them useful c.ti/.en?
if their energies were property direct
ed, luit externally no different fron
th'- others of their tribe, relapsed int<
til. same depths of squalor and bar
barlsm, and with all of the ambitions
which they had had in earlier years
crushed by their forced degradation.
It is forced, when an educated Indian
reiurn* to his own tribe. All of the
influences of Ills kinsmen and ac-
quaintances Is brought to bear on him
to make him resume the old life, and
it la very seldom that he Is able to re-
sist.
In Mr. Dickson's Opinion, the reme-
dy is to be found in an organized ef-
fort by the government to find em-
ployment for its Indian graduates,
aionglsdc and in competition with
white workmen. Many ot them are
skilled mechanics. Others are profi-
cient as stenographers and clerks. It
Is the intention to call the attention
of the industrial world to these Indian
graduates and their capabilities. It
has long been the policy of the Car-
lisle school to keep Its graduates in
the East when possible, anil those
who have settled down In the white
men's communities have made suc-
cessful citizens. But, with no organ-
ized plan back of it, it was difficult to
accomplish very much there, and still
more so In the western school, where
the reservations were so much nearer
at hand. If, however, the machinery
of government is interested in the
plan, it will be carried forward, with
no recession from a stand once taken.
With the rapid increase of allot-
ments and Indian farmers in the two
territories, the work of the Chilocco
school, in Northern Oklahoma, Is also
increasing in importance as a solution
of the Indian problem. Superintend-
ent McCowan, of that school, has al
ways maintained that farm life was
the one which the Indian was natural-
ly fitted for. and that, with proper
training, lie could be more successful
in that than in any other line. Hence,
while other lines of industrial train-
ing are not neglected, the primary
aim of the school is to train farmers.
On the 8,000-acre farm of the school is
taught theoretically, practically and
economically the best methods of rats-
answering til? ing grains, fruits anil vegetables. The
farm is stocked with the best breeds
of live stock, and the future farmer is
taught the value of blooded stock antl
its care. In the school the Indian stu-
dent is becoming proficient as a
farmer, and he likes it.
Men Fight Deputy Marshals.
DAVIS: A desperate battle was
fought between several men and
deputy United States marshals. Sim
Johnson, colored, was mortally
wounded, and another negro was shot
twice through the body, but escaped
into the woods. Marshal Webb, of
Paul's Valley, and a posse attempted
the arrest near Elmore, a small town
twenty miles west of here. Th» hunt-
ed men fired several shots without
effect. Sim Johnson's left arm was
shot off, and he received a steel ball
through the lower abdomen and will
die.

SPECIAL QUARANTINE LINE.
Farmers Who Have Been Careful To
Be Rewarded.
GUTHRIE: The Oklahoma liv?
stock sanitary commission, at a spe-
cial meeting, established a special
quarantine line, running westward
along the Bock Island railroad in Cad-
do county to the eastern boundary of
Kiowa county, thence south to the
northern boundary of Comanche coun-
ty, thence west to the Red river,
thence northwest to the northwest
corner of Kiowa county. No cattle
may be taken from the south over the
line unless properly inspected. This
order results from the recent investi-
gation of fever-infected pastures in
Caddo and Kiowa counties. They
were found so clean that the board
decided to reward the farmers and
cattlemen by lowering the lino. Here-
tofore the special lino has been along
the southern border of Canadian
county.
The board also made an order al-
lowing the farmers and cattlemen in
the mange-infected district of Wood-
ward county to drive their stock to a
railroad for the purpose of shipping to
market, but for no other purpose.
This gives the man opportunity to
market their Stock.
Secretary Morris, of thS board, says
that, the big cattlemen to the contrary
notwithstanding, there are more cat-
tle in Oklahoma now than ever before.
He says that, while the large herds
are cut down and the range Is rapidly
passing, on every quarter section
there is a small herd of cattle, and
that the total number far exceeds any
number ever owned in the territory.
He maintains that a quarter section of
land in Oklahoma will support more
cattle now than ever before,

resented, and the showing made will
be as good as that at St. Louis last
year. The exposition management
will reopen the date Tor entry so that
the new stale may compete for prizes.
This was a concession unexpected
and unsolicitted, as the committee
had no idea of entering the exhibits
for competition. The showing made
by Oklahoma and Indian Territory
will no doubt bo very creditable, and
as the articles to be exhibited will
all be fresh and now, while other
states have not tills advantage, the
territories will be at their very best.

more than assured. New applicants
are applying daily, and many more

CLIMATE AND CROP CONDITIONS
General Summary for Week Ending
September 4
Fair and hot weather prevailed un-
til tho close of the week, when scat-
tered local showers occurred, with an
accompanying cooler condition on the
1st and 2nd.
Hay harvest continued and was
nearing completion, with generally a
good yield and quality reported.
Early corn cutting continued, with
a good yield secured, and crop drying
out fast; late corn is nearly made,
and promises a good yield.
Cotton was damaged to a consider-
able extent by hot winds, causing it
to shed its young bolls, and by boll
worms. It is opening up and picking
is becoming general. The crop ranges
from a poor to good condition over
the section.
Broom corn, cane, Kafir corn, mil
let and cow peas are giving good
yields.
Plowing for wheat is about com-
pleted, and harrowing and seeding is
in progress, with some of the early
sown coming up. The ground is in
a fair to good condition.
Late potatoes are up to poor to
good stands, and are generally doing
well.
June corn and ttrrnips are doing
well, but were damaged somewhat
over a few localities by hot winds.
Fruit is giving poor to fair yields,
with apples still dropping off badly.
Range grass is drying up, and
water Is becoming scarce, hut stock
continues in good condition.
