THE OMAMA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, JUNE 1902. 21, L) Red Hawk By 1ZOLA L. FORRESTER (Copyright, 1902, by 8. 8. McClure Co.) | Red Hawk was what they called him In Rhe tepee village over the morth slope of Rthe Big Horn, At Rawsons he was just »pete’s Kid,” and had been ever since the pay be bad been found on the front stoop of the store, with Bones beside him. A cub Bhoshone, as Pete sald, thin. ugly, dirty, and a yellow cur pup, ugly, skinny and baif-starved. Both sad-eyed and Indifer- ent, both used to kicks and curses, but all the world to each othe Pete adopted Both in the eyes of the fort, at least they had full permission to pleep under his front stoop and take what- g:.lunpc of food French Louls, the cook, Aoor to toss to them from the kitchen It was not a pleasant course of civilisiog for either, but they sccepted it | 28 one of fate’s little ways and grew and thrived and were recognized permanent fixtures at the fort. ‘When Jack Ellis came over the rang ten years later and told stories on Pet, front stoop one summer night, the Hawk and Bones stood over near the door, among the shado apd ths following morning whea Ellls took the road again he had two unsought comrades. He bad come up from below the lakes, he told the men at Rawsons, from some. where down In Indiana. Business? Noth- | ing special. Just drifting.

There had boen 80 many girls. “Golng over the Iine?” Pete asked finally. “Maybe. Golng to hunt something or other.” The following morning when they had passed the fort and were out on the clear stretch of prairie, Bills looked his com- panions over quietly, speculatively, stand- fog knee-deep in tall, yellow prairie grass that bowed lazily in waves and ripp® as the breeze brushed by. The Hawk stood mottonless, taking the survey as a mat- | ter of course. Bones sat down and snapped | 1dly at & bee on & yellow Y. | “Bhoshone or Rapahoe ked Ellls i “Don’t know.

I don’t like the Yook of dsad eyes when I've done the kill- ing.’ There was little conver: tion between the two. They would sit together at night hour after hour beside a campfire, Ellls lylng on & heap of pine boughs, emoking moodily; the Hawk, a lean, gaunt, half- the flames, with Bones stretched p fully at his feet, snoring restfully until a #park from a rosimed knot would make him start and grow! sleeplly. At midnight Ellts would look at his watch. It was mot a handsome ome. Merely an old silver-plated open face, but in the back case there was & picture of & gir] laughing. One night the two had been sitting thus for hours. All at once Ellls handed the watch to the boy. “That's her,”” he sald. The Hawk looked “Got yellow hair? ked, as he handed it back. “You bet she has, kid,” replied Ellis ur der his breath. oft, warm, yellow, like the boy after a pause, as he pushed Bones" ¢ away from the fire with his foot. *“Yellow hair.” Ellls was silent. He never showed the ploture in, but he always felt that the Hawk kn his weak point and respected Bim accordingly. When they reached Forty Mlle creek 1t was on outpost of the world, an odd corner of earth where the last of the old miners made s final stand acainst the onrush of civillzation. It was a pleasant corner and they rested there. Then one day sumeone happensd to find the root of all evil lying around loose in the ever- lasting hills, and 1o & mounth all the world below was shouting Klondike.

Only I like you and you might as well stay right here, where God or the devil dropped you for me to take care of. Any good reason why not?" The stranger smiled. He had a smooth face, white and clear skinned as a girl, but his eyelids had a trick of narrowing ever so slightly as he looked at one, and when he smiled his lips drew tight across his even white teeth. “Laughs Iike hound dog.” the Hawk told Bones, and he did not seek the stranger's tavor. But Ellls liked him. He was a clever, bralny young fellow, brimful of the latest lore of the world below, mot particularly ambitious to all appearances, yet he entered heart and soul into Ellls’ plans and ideas. The shack became his permanent home, and while the stranger shared the firelight with Ellls, the Hawk and Bones sat outside, look- ing up at the stars and pondering over many things ““You have a queer chap In that Shos- bone,”” Hardy, as he called himself, re- marked casually one day. ““Where did you pick him up?” “Over the states line, one day. mutual grievance agalnst the laughed Ellls grimly. They were coming up the narrow path that ran like a thread through the woods, up the mountain side to the shack. Hardy glanced sideways at his companion. “You've seen trouble, Jack, somewhere,' We had & world,’ he said. “It's the way with nearly all who come up here. “You, too?” Ellls shot the question at him point blank. “Nothing special over a girl.” Ellis drew a long, deep breath and stepped nearer to his companion. “That's me, too. Over a girl with yellow hatr.” Murder?" the other man's tone was light and disinterested, but Ellis caught himself up with a laugh. “Not as bad as that. We fought fair, only I bappened to be the stronger. He knew it, and so did I, only I had & little difficulty in making the world belleve it— afterward.” Hardy looked out over the hills to where the Yukon turned into the embrace of the That " replied Hardy. “Fight Cy Danvers, who was going down to Seattle. The Hawk saw him give it to Danvers, but he did not tell Jack. After that, when the two went to Ellls' claim in the morning Dones and the Indian followed leisurely and watched. So passed a year and still noth- | ing had happened. The friendship between the two men had become a byword in Daw- | son, and Ellls bad prospered. One night up at the shack, when the leaves were stained again with the frost king's colors, Ellis rose suddenly from his seat beside the table where Hardy sat figuring. “It's enough,” he sald under his breath, walking with quick, nervous steps to and tro, while the small dark eyes of the Hawk watched him from the corner. “Hardy, I'm going down.” Hardy smiled up at him through the torn, ragged smoke wreaths from his pipe. “Why not?” he asked lightly. Ellls frowned. He had forgotten all save the man before him. ““You know what I told you one day last year,” he began, “about that girl and the man I fought fair? Well, they don't ex- actly take my view of the matter down there. They're walting for me, do you se It's free up here.” »RA b “But you want to see what she thinks about {t?" sald the other musingly. “That's it,” cried Ellls earnestly. “That's Just the point, She knows I hadn’t any bad feeling toward him only so far he was concerned, and she badn’t promised either. We just made up our minds to fight it out and let the best man have her. And we didn’t try any dirty work, either, knives or guns; just took the weapons God gave us and went to work one night after a dance. We were coming home through the woods He paused and rested one booted foot on the chalr he had vacated, as he leaned for- ward toward Hardy. “There's a big jagged bluft this side of town, and there jen't anything but rocks and river below.

Some devil put it in my head that maybe they'd find him down there on the rocke and think that was how it happened. So I dropped him over easy.” He looked over Hardy's head to where the firelight played & witch game of tag with the shadow “The eyes wouldn't shut,” ded under his breath. ““They looked at me as he went over. “And of course someone had seen you fight and told,” concluded Hardy lightly. “Jack, old man, you're a fool. Buch s thing fsn't & crime. It's an episode in man's life. Forget the eyes and don't get sentimental. You're a millionaire. Go n to Indlana and get the girl. I'll go, g In & week the shack was empty. Two men and an Indian and & yellow dog took the south trail. “It's too long by the river,” Ellis had sald. “We'll go to Juneasu and take the steamer down to Seattle.” Hardy had kicked against the company of the Hawk and Bones, but it was useless. Bllls bad ordered them back, but the next day found them keeping steadily to the trail, and Bills laughed and sald he wouldn't go bagk on old chums. The way was long and tedious, and as they ared Junesu his Berve began to leave him. In every possible way Hardy urged him on. It was nearly five years, he argued. He had changed wonderfully. If necessary he could take another rame until he found how the land lay. And there was the girl, perhaps wait- ing for him. But Ellls vered. “It was equal, but we each meant to kill it we could,” he sald again and again. ‘““That's murder. That's what they'll call it it they get m The climax came twenty miles from Ju- nesu. It was dawn and they were breaking up camp. The splendor of the sunrise glor- ified the w! waking world, and there was the sharpness of the frost in the air, and the touch of its silver on every blade and twig. Ellls stood looking at the eastern sky, when suddenly he turned to the other. “I can't go farther, Hardy,"” he said, @eterminedly. 'm golug back. You go on. The Hawk and I will go together.” Hardy bad been on his kuees strapping up the blankets. His lips closed in & straight line as he drew his knife and sev- ered the rope from the kmot. Then he rose and faced Ellls, strong, young sad sinewy, there was & Bew look yes. You'll net go to Beattle?” he repeated quietly. he re- e e e e e e “You shall go,” sald Hardy, between hiw teeth, “for I intend to take you. We hap~ pen to be on good American soll once more. John Blils, I arrest you for the murder of Robert Kerwin, and if you move your hand I'll put & bullet through your head.” Ellls never moved a muscle, but kept his eyes on the man before him, and a great, terrible weight seemed to press upon his breast as he realized what the meaning of it all had been. A whole year of close, faithful comradeship, partners and friends. He thought of how he had taken t stranger into the little old shack on the mountain elde and nursed him through the battle. “Did you mean to do it all the time, Hardy?* he asked huskily. “That was the little private business I came up on,” returned the detective curtly. The other fellow died, you know. That was why two were sent. I took his place. Sit down there, on that log. I can cover you easler. In about an hour the party we passed last night will come up and help me. 1 half expected this ever since we crossed the boundary and kept in their way." Ellls ceated himsel? on the fallen tree, and again his eyes sought the sunr “You have done your work well he sald after a time. “I suppose it's right but, Lord Harry, it's hard. Why, Hardy, his volce softened, “I'd rather swung for it than had you the man. You don't know how I liked you.” “That girl married another man,” Inter- posed Hardy, keeping the revolver in posi- tion and reaching for his pipe with his left hand. “I meant to tell you before, but it soemed to be the only thing that would bring you out.” Ellis glanced suddenly at the tree trunk agalnst which he had leamed his rifie. It was gone. There was a tightening of his sinewy frame, a second's hesitation, then he sprang forward ltke a panther for the throat of the detective. Half way a bullet struck him and he fell forward, his face burled in the damp, leat mold. Before Hardy could move, before the smoke had curled away from his revolver, a second shot crashed through the bushes behind him and the head of the Hawk rose above them, with Ellis’ rifie leveled. The second body lay boot to boot with the first, when the Indlan stole out into the open space and Bones gave a long, quivering howl as he lay down at his master's side and licked tearfully at one upturned hand. The Hawk stepped lightly past the detective and raised Ellls' head. There was a flask of whiskey in the latter's pocket and he un- corked it and forced some between the close-shut teeth, then felt for the heart. It was beating softly. The minutes passed. Silent and exp slonless as a graven image the Hawk sat between the two bodies, his knees drawn up tent-wise, his rifle resting on them as he watched the trail ahead. Once or twice be bent over Ellis and gave him more of the whisky, until at length he opened hia eyes and looked up at the patch of blue sky shining through the tangled branches overhead. Bomes whined, and crept closer to him, and the Indian nodded his head toward what lay on the other side of him. “Dead?" whispered Ellls, molstening his lips with an effort. The Hawk howed grimly. There was a long sllence and the full glory of day had spread over the mountawas. The autumn sunlight lay warm and pleasant where the frost had been an hour before, and some- where oft in the hills & bird was singlag madly. Ellls turned his head and looked at the hard, ugly face of the boy. “Hawk,” he whispered finally. “Take my hand, will you? #¥ou're white, all right. It he badn't said she was married—" The Hawk looked down in his face a minute after and lald the corner of a blanket over ft. When the party Hardy had watted for came down be trall it was sun- set again and they were laughing and sing- ing, for the long tramp was nearly over, and each had a plle and the thought of the one at home to cheer. At the turn ot the path they stopped and the music died away at sight of the picture there. Two stark, stlent forms lay side by side and an Indian and a yellow dog kept watch beside thelr dead. 1ZOLA L. FORRESTER. TICKET CLEAN AND STRONG Repuplic Nominees Heartily In- dorsed by One Whose Favorite Failed. B. L Myers of Newport passed through Omaha yesterday on his way home from the republican state convention at Lin- coln. “We came from Rock county for Rob- ertson for governor, but we go home per- isfled with Mickey. The ticket which will please every republican voter and many of the independent voters of the northern part of the state. It is clean and every man ls capable.

G. McGilton, can- didate for lleutenant governor, opened his campaign. The meeting was in the nature of a ratification of the action of the state convention and short talks were made by several members. Emmett G. Solomon pre- sided. Mr. McGilton was received with cheers. He said in part: There is ample ammunition to be gath- ered from which to make a vigorous epeech, but 1 have been too busy to ar- range it. I desire to congratulate the peo ple of Douglas county upon the fact that the republicans nominated an excellent man for governor. Mr. Mickey is a man who will command the confidence of the people and when elected will give the state A good, clean administration. The re- mainder of the ticket should commend itself to the voters. This is a republican year. The opposition is not united—they cannot agree upon a candidate for gov- ernor whc would unite them—not even Mr. Bryan himself. The trouble with him is that he is too well advertised. The peo- ple know what his doctrines are and that those doctrines have been renounced by the people on many occasions. The demc cratio party in the state {8 thoroughly dis- rupted. Mr. Bryan himself cannot unite the populists, the democrats and the 8o called free siiver republicans—to say noth- ing of the gold democrats who would not vote for him under any circumstances. Grover Cleveland Hopeless. The speaker, referring to the banquet of the Tilden club in New York, quoted the words of Mr. Cleveland regarding the con dition of the democratic party, and added Grover Cleveland does not think there 18 any hope of the democratic party get- ting together. With that condition con- fronting us, 1 do not belfeve it is possible for us to be defeated If we get together in a strong campaign. As your candidate for lfeutenant governor 1 pledge you my earnest work from this time until after the votes are counted In November, The republican party Is which redeems every pledge. ‘While it looks forward with hope it points back- ward with pride. 1In all its life it can point to work done and pledges redeemed. We need to go no further back than 1596, We sald that should McKinley be elected there would be prosperous times. They came and have continued. We promised Cuba freedom and it has It. We sald that we would give to the Philippines enlight- enment and honest government and in spite of opposition at home and Insur- gents in the islands we are doing it. Mr. McGilton was followed by N. C. Pratt, who sald that he thought the people should feel pleased with the action of the state convention. “The speaker who preceded me,” said he, “has said nothing of himself. I have known him for many years and as my acquaintance grew my admiration for bis noble qualities increased.” Resolutions for State Ticket. A. G. Charlton, E. F. Morearty, M. O. Cunningham and I. G. Baright also spoke. The following resolutions were adopled: Resolved, That the Sixth Ward Repub- | lican club congratulates the party upon the magnificent ticket nominated by the re- publican state convention this week at Lin- coln; that it especlally approves the nomi- nation of Mr. E. G. McGilton of Omaha, a man whose nomination will add much strength to the ticket in Douglas county, where he is best known; that the pla; form adopted by that convention expresses fully the opinion of the members of this club on state and national issues, and, be it_further Resolved, That wo pledge the individual members of this club to continuous work for the election of the ticket until after all votes are cast in November.

CROP AND CATTLE SITUATION Cattle Raiser from Hyannis Reports Fine Conditions in His Loeallty. J. C. Bostwick of Hyannls, Neb., came iato Omaha over the Unlon Pacific Friday morning. He brings interesting news of the crop and cattle situations in western Nebraska. well The wheat yleld in that as s other sections of the state, he is excellent and with faverable con- ditions from now on an enormous harvest will be reaped. + The order for the removal of fences on the ranges is, in the estimation of Mr. Bost- wick, a boon to the small cattle raiser and will work to the great advantage of the meat consumer. He declares that this will force the large cattie ranger out and give the small ones greater opportunities. The reason for this is, he argues, that the small cattle raisers can easily herd their stock, while the extensive herds can- not thus be handled. As a consequence he says that already the stock market is enlarging, sales are multiplying, and that within a short time vast numbers of cattle will be sent to buyers. Grass for grazing never was better in the end of the state from which Mr. Bostwick comes and he predicts excellent times for the men who are in the cattle business on a small scale. He 1s an old stockman himself and is famillar with the subject in all its detalls. Another very important benefit that will be derived from the passage of this bill is pointed to by this gentleman in that facll- ity for colonizing the western part of the state. He holds that the same conditions which will militate to the disadvantage of the extensive cattlemen and promote the interests of the smaller ones will offer golden opportunities and inducements for settlers. He consequently looks for a sub- stantial tide of immigration in that section. CURB AND SEWER CONTRACTS Woodworth and Grant Get Curbing Jobs and Commolly the Sewer Work., At the meeting of the Board of Public Works Friday afternoon a contract was awarded to Charles Woodworth to lay such curbing in curbing district 640 as may be required during the fiscal year.

Judge J. H. Blair presented Mayor Moores with a curlosity Friday morning in the form of the first map ever made of Omaha. It is dated September 1, 1854 It was resurrected Thursday from an old chest in the garret of a house on Cass street, near Judge Biair's home. An interesting feature of the map is a notation in one corner, which reads as follow Lots will be given to persons who will improve them. A newspaper, the Omaha Arrow. 1s published weekly at this plac A brick buflding suitable for the terri- torial legislature is in process of construc- tion and a steam mill and brick hotel will be completed in & few weeks. In another corner appeared the names of the three men who at that time owned Omaha, Enos Lowe, James R. Jackson and Samuel S. Bayliss. The founders evidently intended that a park should be at Sixteenth and Farnam streets, for the block on which stands the Paxton bullding is marked “Washington Square.” The corner on which the Board of Trade now stands would have been pre- sented to any one at that time who would build a shanty on it. The map takes in all west of the Mis- sour! river to Twenty-third etreet, and the platted section cxtends as far north as Swan (Caldwell straet) and as far south as Scott (Poppleton avenue), The streets south of Swan street are named as follows: Eagle, TO YOUNG WOMEN.
