A. CHILD’S GRATITUDE.
r MR A PENNY,

II was a profes-
sional beggar's
stereotyped whine,
ntliher louder nor
lower than she had
heard half a d<>»,-n
times before In the
course of her morn-
ing's occupation of
shopping—and iho
weird, pale fiee that looked so Inlreal-
tally Into her own was In no wise dif-
ferent from a score of other want
pinched faces.
Yet Ml** Fortescue slopped, with one
foot yet on the step of her cushioned
landau, and eesn hed In her pocket for
Mime itray coin.
"My dor Mis* ITnrlescue, you will
take cold." said Iht soft, measured
voice of Mrs. yinton. her companion
"Oo away, child, quick, or I will call
n policeman."
“Don't speak eo harshly to the poor
little object, Marla!” chirped rich MlaS
Fort esc ue. "It Isn't her fault that idtc'i
poor and forlorn, and |hls won't ruin
me! Here little one-go and buy bread,
or meat nr anything that will put
streak of color Into those tallowy
cheeks."
The Child grasped at the money an
famished wild beast might snap at
morsel of meat. Hut she caught at
her companion's silken rustling skirt*,
at she passed forward toward tlio
plate-glass portals of a fashionable
milliner.
Did you call her 'Fortescue.' ma’am?
Did you say 'MIsb 1'ortescue' T" she
asked.
Hut Mrs. Vinton twitched her skirl*
nway from the child's hand, ns If the
feeble grasp were contamination, amt
passed on. Still the Wlld-hnlred elf
hung around the carriage wheels.
"I say. you!" she cried to the coneh-
man, holding her ragged garments
tround her to prevent their being blown
bodily nway by th# merciless winds,
"does your missus live In a big stone
house Just outside the park? le she
an old maid?”
The coachman, deeply resentful *t
being addressed thus familiarly by so
pitiable a specimen of humanity, lifted
his whip, and called out:
■P’leece! I Bay, p'llceman,” In the
eame breath, and little Jack Morley
shrank away out of sight.
"Jacqueline" her name wns, but no-
body called her anything but "Jackey.”
She had no father or mother—In fact,
no relative that she knew of. and. so
far as she knew, she had no earthly
business to live—no excuse for existing.
Poor little Jackey.
Children and animals do not commit
suicide, yet there are some clrcum-
stances under which we could scarcely
blame them If they did.
But Jack did not absolutely vanish
Into the cracks of the imvlng-stones-
for when the two ladles once more re-
entered their carriage and drove away.
Jack fastened on behind In some 11m-
tescue, using unconsciously Iks
words that her cook had selected for »«•
•gpresslnn of her great amasemest.
Anil she went straight upetetr* IM
tnld the whole story to Marla Vinton,
Mr*. Vinton scoffed at II, •*. tndsefl.
waa quits natural she should do.
"And you believe It all? ' affiM fib*.
"1 couldn't help It while I looked la
her f*ce."
•Ilut. my de»r Mlee Fnrte*cue. )u*t
sen how very Improbable It all I*. PtM,
uae your common sense,"
“At all event. I mean to h*ve tl>*
ts.||.-e." Mid MIm Forteacue, nodding
her head.
"You'll only get laughed at for your
P*'ni risk that." Mid the little old
maid.
The gray-stone house was quite dark
when th» clocks atruca 1. the quarter
past, and the half hour; hut MIM For-
tesi-ue was wide-awake, sitting !n front
of her fire, with a heart throbbing with
quick, uncertain beat*. Bhe would
have risked much on Jacqueline's trutn,
yet now that the hour of teat ap-
proached, strange doubts crept over her
mind. , , .
Hllerttly rising, she stole downstair*
on tiptoe, nnd stood at the head of th*
cellnr stairway, with Mrs. Vinton at
her side, both trembling, partly from
cold, snd partly from undefined appro*
•tension*.
Huddri.ly there was a dull, scuttling
noise, the sound «f hurried movements
snd then the sharp crack of a pistol,
and then a child's cry.
“You'll blow on ua tig'ln!' annrled a
deep voice. "It's nil up now but you
shan't go Scot free, you, Jackey!"
More snto'.bered scuffling noise, the
sound of hurried movements, and then
n sudden upblaslng of light; hut
through It all Mis* Forlcscue'a strained
ears could hear the low moaning of
soincoii" In mortal pain.
"I can’t t-ndtirc this. Marla, she
whispered. "I must go down."
"And he killed In the mclcel" cried
Mrs. Vinton, holding tight to her srm.
"No, Indeed: you shnll not stir a step!
And at this Instant the light flashed
Into brilliancy, nnd from her elevated
position Mis* Fortescue could see tho
whole startling scene. The ruffians,
hound hand and foot, with sullen face*,
nnd bloodshot, rolling eyes—the trlum-
phant myrmidon* of tho low exulting
In the capture they had made, and one
little figure darkly cowering lit a corner
—little Jacqueline.
Heedless of the attempted explana-
tion of the officers, Miss Fortescue
broke from Mrs. Vinton's detaining
hand, and ran to the child,
"My dear, you are bleeding—you are
hurl?"
“Yes'm," Jack answered, phlegmati-
cally. "I'm hurt. Slippery Jim mis-
trusted as I'd blown on 'em. and he
shot me. 1 think I'm goln' to die! I
somehow can't breathe easy!” and, thus
speaking, poor Jack fainted.
"Lawk! ma'am!" said one of the of-
ficers, as Miss Fortescue tenderly lifted
the helpless mass of rags, dirt and blood
In her arms, "she's Just as bad as any
on 'em, Mother Jones' Jackey—every-
body knows her!"
-I know her," said Miss Fortescue,

pet-ltke fashion, and rode too! Not un-
til (he carriage had etopped, discharged
its freight, and started again for the
stables at the rear of the gloomy old
mansion, did the small parasite drop,
a caterpillar shaken from a tree,
Into the road.
"I thought so,” said Jackey to her-
self. “They shan’t—no, they shan't!
She smiled when she looked at me—
aad she patted me on the head like I
was like other gals!”
And with these disconnected medita-
tions floating through the chaos of her
brain. Jack pattered down the area
steps, and knocked softly at the base-
ment door.
A plump oook answered the sum-
mons.
"Murther!" she cried, brusquely,
what’s a-wanttn' here?”
"I want to speak to Miss Fortescue,
please."
Do you?" cried the cook, surveying
the bold petitioner In blank astonish-
ment "Well, then, you can't, so there,
now! Qo along with you, do."
•But I got su’thln' very pa'tlckler to
My to her. Please let me In!" pleaded
Jacqueline.
•Tea, and let out the spoons and the
table-napkins at the same time—that
would be a smart speculation!" sniffed
the cook. "Clear out. I say, and there's
an end o’ the matter."
But Jaok. who had not expected any
more favorable response to her ap-
MISS FORTESCUE'S FACE,
plication, and was quite prepared to
fall back upon strategy, made a sud-
den forward rush, and had left the
cook far behind ere that plump person-
age had leisure to surmise what was
going on.
"Well. I never,” quoth the cook.
"Here, John Thomas—you man—where
be you?”
But while she was crying aloud for
old, Jock Morley had darted upstairs,
straight Into the presence of Miss For-
teacue, who happened to be standing on
the flret floor tending, with her jacket
and hat hanging on her arm.
"Hush-sh-sht" she whispered, laying
her dlrt-lndbusted Anger on her lip. "I've
a secret *h tell you. They're goln' to
break Into your house at half-past 2
o’clock to-morrow mornln'—Slippery
Jim, and old Joe, and Long Lyman—
and I’m to be slipped through the back
cellar windy to open the doors, ‘cause
I’m little an’ spry.”
■What?" cried Miss Fortescue. star-
ing. ..
’’I’ve got to go back now. ’cause if
I'm long gone they'll suspect some-
thin'.” went on Jacqueline: "but I
wouldn't see yoa wronged, ’cause you
patted my head, you did. Just don't
you let on. but have the p’leece handy,
and you’ll see."
“But, child." ejaculated Mies Fortes-
cue, for the first ttme sufficiently over-
coming her nmosement to speak, "stay
here with me. What do you go back to
these people at all for?”
Jock stared at her.
“I've got to see Daddy Lyman at 5
o'clock, and to let him know a* Slip-
pery Jlm'e book all safe,” said she;
"and. besides, if I didn’t go. Kitty
Emmons wouldn’t get no supper. Kit-
ty’s etek. Kitty Is. snd them as don t
wort can’t eat. Mother Jones says, so
I saves her a lick and a cut out o' mine.
Demme go now. and Just you mind
what I s»y»."
' Mn Fortescue had opened her mouth
to Mead further, but almost ere she
knew it, the strange little apparition
bad vanished.
I "WelL I never!” exclaimed Mlm For-
quletly. "It's to her 1 owe my preserva-
tion from robbery—perhaps assault,
and even murder—this night. Hence-
forward, she shall be my care."
Mrs, Vtntoh held up both hands In
amazement and wonder. Was the rich
spinster going mad?
When little Jackey came to herself,
she lay among soft, scented pillows,
with the odorous breath of hothouse
flowers filling the air, and a kind face
bending over hers—Miss Fortescue'*
face.
"Oh-h-h!" said Jackey, with a long
breath; “I thought I was dead and gone
to heaven, but I ain't, be I?”
"No, my dear." said Miss Fortescue.
her tears dropping softly on the little
fevered face, "not yet. We hope you
will soon be Well, and then you will be
my little girl."
Jacqueline stared vaguely at her pro-
tectress, whose kind eyes seemed s«
dim and far off to her fever-weakened
vision.
"That would be better than going ta
heaven," she said, with a long, flutter-
ing sigh, and then she fell asleep.
Miss Fortescue wept as she pondered
over the words, which too plainly be-
tokened the life the poor little waif had
led. And Mrs. Vinton, ever ready to
misjudge her fellow-creatures, thought
spitefully as she measured Jacqueline's
drops for the next dose of medicine;
“What a skillful little actress that beg-
gar child waa!"
Miss Fortescue kept her word, and
when Jackey recovered from the long
and dangerous Illness consequent upon
the pistol shot, the child was her own
henceforward, loved with almost as ten-
der a fondness as If some tie of actual
consanguinity had existed between
them.
The piece of silver which the rich
lady unthinkingly bestowed, with a
smile and kind word, upon the forlorn
street beggar had drawn Interest.
Excessive Heat In the
In 1303 and 1304 the Rhine, Loire
and Seine ran dry. The heat In sev-
eral French provinces during the sum-
mer of 1705 was equal to that of a glass
furnace Meat could be cooked by
merely exposing It to the sun. Not a
soul dare venture out between noon and
4 p. m. In 1713 many shops had to
close. The theaters never opened tjielr
doors for three months. Not a drop
of water fell during six months. In 1773
the thermometer rose to 118 degrees. In
1778 the heat of Bologna was su great
that a great number of persona were
stifled. There waa not sufficient air for
the breath, and people had to take ref-
uge under the ground. In July. 1793,
the heat again became Intolerable.
Vegetables were burned up, and fruit
dried on the trees. The furniture and
woodwork In dwelling houses cracked
and split up; meat went bad In an hoar.

Judge Scott has rendered a decision
in the Choctaw railway injunction case,
granted by the judge of the district
court of the third Judicial district in
Oklahoma City, on Marcli 20, 1805. In
his ruling the judge traces every point
and rules in favor of tho road, basing
his decision upon the Act of Congress
in 1888, when an absolute and uncon-
ditional grant was given the road
right-of-way through the country des-
ignated and known as tho Choctaw
Nation, and the language and provis-
ions of the Act, when read in connec-
tion with other Acts of a similar tenor
aud which have received construction
by high authority, leavo no room for
doubt that it conferred an uncoudi-
tion grant, in praesenti, that all the
rights and privileges of the grant at-
tached in full force from the time the
Act became a law. He holds that the
conditions now and heretofore existing
in the section of country covered by
that portion of the route of the rail-
way line affected by its proceeding,
rendere itunnceessary for tho company
to first secure the upproval of tho Sec-
retary of the Interior ol tho locateu
lines outside of the Indian country.
Ho further concludes that the Choctaw
Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad company
having complied with all the require-
ments of the law in the seioetion, sur-
vey and location of their line of road
nverAtiat portion affected by the ac-
tion, that the writ of temporary in-
junction heretofore granted should be
dissolved and the railroad compuny al-
lowed to proceed in the free exercise
of its line of road over the road select,
cd and approved by tho company, as
it is fully shown by the affidavits and
evidence submitted tnat the location
selected is the most practical and feas-
ible route over which to build the
same and for these reasons the writ of
temporary injunction should ho dis-
solved, and it is so ordered.

torn nnd his revolver lay near the
spot where his body was found, and
lie had evidently resisted the robbers.
His horse was found in the timber a
few yards from where the murdered
man lay. Two freighters who were
passing on the road the next morning
found the body. There is no clue to
who the murders and robbers were,
but it is likely that they were mem-
bers of some of the outlaw gangs that
infest the Indian country.

The Dawes CommiRslon convenos at
South McAlesler on May 7th. This
meeting will he for the purpose of
treating with tho Indians looking
toward an amicable disposition and
sale of land for town sites. It is gen-
erally thought by the citizens that, the
Government is going at this matter in
a wrong way, and are inclined to
donbt the sincerely of Mr. Dawes in
their behalf. It makes hut little dif-
ference how things are settled, a great
injustice to a large number will be the
result. It is known that about one
Inuian out of fifty is capable of caring
for himself, and no matter how much
money lie may have, it remains in his
possesion but a short time, when lie
becomes a subject of charity. There
is hut one way in which tho country
should he opened, and if the United
Slates has a vested right—or a right
at all to the lands—she should take
the lands from the Indian make them
citizens nnd then dispose of tho prop-
erty at auction and sell to the highest
Udder for cash, placing tho money
derived to the credit of the natives,
and paying it out in installments. To
treat with the Indians and get them
to agree noon a small sum per ncre
for their land, and turn around and
job the same land out per lot to th#
speculator at a nominal price, will b*
working a great injustice the Red man
whom we all know is not able to take
care of himself. By Red man, we do
not mean White squaw men, half or
quarter breed. They are most part
ore cunning and have made large sums
of mjney. But what Unclc 9am wants
to guard against is that class of full
bloods that live in the woods and and
who are not able to or who have not
the ability to take care of their
money.
