A TALENTED PAINTER'S FALL. Denny Hannifin's Walk to Yankton— How “Spookendyke" Edited a Bis- marck Paper—Dave Maullen's Mourner—~White Cats. [ Written for the Omaha Sunday Bee. “Do yeu know what that beautiful grapevine and palm tree on the mirror behind the bar at the Paxton are there for?” a gentleman asked of me yester- day. “Why, ‘0 ornament it,” I rephied, in | e my innoctnce. Vi Then he loo at me and smiled, as hesaid: ¥Not a bit of it. That is, ti The truthjis, they hide big cracks in the glass. The building scttled after the mirror in and caused the fractures. Mr. Kitchen didn't know just whtt to do and had about concluded that he wovld order another glass, whin an Americanized Frenchman who had teen staying at the hotel four or five days snd had spent his tractions 1 the city, saw an opportunity to liquidat: his boird bill and get some- thing besles. He told the gentlemanly glass jugger how they aid it in Patts when the beavy artillery during the siego cracked somany costly” mirrors, and the bartender told Mr, Kitehen o the fel- low given o chance to exhibit his - genuity and artistic skill. He did a nice job, too, didn’t he?” I'suggested that we should go in and see the mirror. As we stood there my triendtoyed with his glass, he be colloguial, “‘Poor DeCourey--Francois De Courcy wis his nume--what a strange combination he is, or rather, has been,” he smid. He had all the luxurious tastes of the sonof a mullionaire when he was sober; and all the depravity of a ttamp when he was drun hu liked to put on style, and occasionally his abilitie: a glass painier would vield him in a week as much money as many men earn in six months, Then he would fly high, He would go to some city where he was not Kknown, stop at a topnoteh hote!, and 1n dulge in dissipation of a very gente character —if any dissipation can be W called genteel.

He'd usually wind up in the police sta- that broken mirror saved him. ~ As soon ‘ne had completed his work he took the money due him over his hotel account and disappeared. Last fall I took a trip up mto Wyoming over this new road—the Elkhoru, 1 Douglas, the_end of the road, and naturally wandered around ti e to inspect the hurdy-gurdy features of the half frame, half tent town. As I was standing injfrofitof a lavishly lighted os- tablishment where there was a crowd of cowboys dagn r and drinking with a dozen bmhr ned damsels, 1 heard some- body remark: ‘There's Hypo. He’s out of stuft.” The oddity of “the exclama- tion ed fmes to look after a slimly | ¢heek. built, shabbily dressed fellow who was piteously beggipg a man to give him ten cents, “For God’s sake,’ 1 heard him say, e me a dime, 1 just want enough to get this filled,” and he held up a hypo- | y dermie syrifigd. ‘The man gave him the coin and he went by me like a flash and into a drugstope on the corner, I could the elm’\'fpu Mm a powder and a ittle glass witlbwater in the bottom.

It was DeCourey. But what a change a short ime had made in him. ~ The mor- day I saw evidences of his brush on the store and saloon windows. But the skill was gone.

His brother died out at Aspen a fow weeks ago. It’s the fir: been away from Bismarck in fifteen years ? I remember the last time Denny loft Bismurck, It wasin the dead of win- ter. The territory’s capital was Yankton, and the legislature was insession. There very irregular stage line. - When the snow was bad Bismarck justcrawled into its hole and had to wait until a thaw came. One of the papers from Yankton that was printed about the time the legis- lature convened, stated that among the measures to be considered was a joint memorial to congress for division of the territory, Now if thero that Dennis Hannifin, esq., (as he “wrote his rame—he had been a justice of the akota. He immediately framed a pro- test and secured the signature of every man, woman and child_in Bismarck, Just then one of these North Dakota blizzards set in. It kept up for a week. The ri morning Denny said “I'll take that protestto Yankton myself.”” And he did. He made about one hundred miles with a team, and then had to abandon that | opponents mode of conyeyance. From there he walked. He reached Yankton in time, too. Perhaps the memorial would never have been pa , anyway, but Denny believes, and will belieye to his dying day, that his remonstrance defeated it. Hannifin’s ~walk to Yankton had as much pluck behind it, if it was not so chivalrous a deed.
