; ; NDREW TALLENTD stepped out of the quaint little train on to the flower-bedecked platform of this Devonshire hamlet amongst the hilla, to receive a surprise so immeasurable that for a moment he could do nothing but gaze silently at the tall, ungainly figure whose unpleasant smile betrayed the fact that this mecting was not altogether Boecidental so far as he was concerned. “Miller!” he exclaimed, a little almlessty. “Why not?” was the almost chalienging reply. There was a certain quiet contempt in Tallente’s uplifted eyebrows. The contrast between the two men, momentarily isolated on the little plat- form, was striking. Tallente had the bearing, the voice, manner of a gentle- man; Miller, who was the son of a postman in a small Scotch town, an exht- Ditloner so far as regards his education, and a mimic where social gifts were concerned, had all the aggressive bumptiousness of the successful man who ms wit enough to perceive his shortcomings. In his ill-chosen tourist @lothes, untidy collar and badly arranged tie, he presented a contrast to his companion of which he seemed, in a way, bitterly conscious, ‘You are staying near here?" Tal- Vente inquired civilly. “I came down yesterday.” “Surely you were in Hellesfield the day before yesterday?" Miller smiled ill-naturedly. ‘I was,"’ he admitted, * myself that I was able to make the speech which settied your chances in that direction.” Tallente permitted a slight note of @corn to creep into his tone. “It was not your eloquence,” he sald, ‘“‘or your arguments which brought failure upon me. It was partly your Mes and partly your tactics."" An unwholesome flush rose in the other’s face. “Lies?” he repeated, a little trucu- lently. 'Tallente looked him up and down. ‘The station master was approaching mow, the whistle had blown, their conversation was at an end. “I said lies," Tallente observed, “most advisedly.' The train was already on the move, and the departing passenger was c pelled to step hurriedly into a car- tiage. Tallente, waited upon by the ebsequious station master, stfolled across the line to where his car was waiting, It was not until his arrival there that he realized that Miller had offered him no explanation as to his presence on the platform of this tiny wayside station. “Did you notice the person with whom I was talking?’ he asked the Btation master. “Yes, sir,” the man replied. “De you know what he was doing here?” “Been down to your house, I be- Neve, sir. He arrived by the early train this morning and asked the way to the Manor.” “To my house?” incredulously. “It the Manor he asked for, air," the station master assured his NANTICOKE TRIBE, ONCE NUMEROUS, WIDELY SCATTERED Originating in Delaware, Many Have Migrated, Some to Can- ada, Others to the West. ‘Tallente repeated Gpecial to The World.) ‘WILMINGTON, Del., April 17.~The remnants of the once mighty tribe of , Nanticoke Indians, now living in semi-seclusion in Sussex County, Del- @ware, between Millsboro and Oak Orchard, have formed an association and obtained a charter from the State, granted Feb, 25, The purpose is to keep their people separate and dis- tinct from both white and colored blood, and to promote the moral and literary development of its members. ‘The incorporators are William R. Clark, Chief of the tribe; Warren T. ‘Wight, Ferdinand Clark, Mphraim L. @iarmon and Isaac H, Johnson. Gladys Tanlaguidgeon, Secretary of the Mohegan Indian Tribe of Penn- sylvania, was at a meeting on March 5, at the home of the Chief, near War- wick, when the association was tormed, There are about fifty direct de- wcendants of the Nanticoke Indians, who form a settlement along the Indian River, where they are pros- perous farmers and conduct their own schools, churches, mills and stores. All are engaged in farming and they hold nearly 2,000 acres of the most fertile jand in Sussex County. ‘These Indians are a separate and distinct class when compared with the ‘Moors, whose main place of residence now is in Kent County, at Cheswold, where the race makes its headquar- —'™\\tere. There exist in Delaware two 4 tribes of strange races—the Moors, who are in the majority, and the descendants of the Nanticoke In- dians; the Moors’ settlement is at * Cheswold in Kent County. Wrongly Called “Moors.” Because of an error in a short his- tory of the Nanticoke tribe, these In- dians were grouped with the other element and consequently all have ‘been called Moors, Even the educated Peopte of Sussex County, and also the Indian tribe's neighbors in Mills- boro, fail to call the Indians by their right title. It is by the title of “direct deacendants of the Nanticoke Indians” that these people stand, and as such they haye often*fought and been per- secuted by whites and blacks. They have no social relations with any member of the colored race. Even their church relations! is entirely Their Protestant authorities, questioner, ‘'Begging your pardon. sir, is it true that be was Miller, the Socialist M. P.?"* “True enough, was the brief reply. TREACHERY AT HOME. ‘ALLENTE, who had seen very little of this newly chosen coun- try home of his, had the feeling, as tho gar crept slowly downward, of one about to plunge into a new life, to penetrate into an unknown world. The car was crawling along a rough and stony road, between hedges drip- ping with moisture and trees dimly seen lke spectres. At Inst, about three-quarters of the way down to the sea, after an abrupt turn, they entered a winding avenue and emerged on to @ terrace, The chauffeur, who had felt the strain of the drive, ran a little past the front door and pulled up in front of an uncurtained win- dow. Tallente glanced in, dazzled & little ‘at first by the unexpected lamplight. Then he understood the premonition which had sat shiver- ing in his heart. A few minutes before eight, with all traces of his long journey obliterated, Andrew Tal- lente stepped out on to the stone- flagged terrace. “Andrew! So you are out here? Why did you not come to my room? Surely your train was very punc- tual?" Tallente remained for a moment tense and motionless, Then he turn- ed around, The woman who stood upon the threshold of the house, framed with a little cascade of droop- ing roses, sought for his eyes almost hungrily. He realized how she musi be feeling. A dormant vein of cyni- cism parted his lips as he held her fingers for a moment, His tone and his manner were quite natural. “We were, I believe, unusually punctual,” he admitted. ‘What an extraordinary mist! Up over there was no sign of it at all." She be Her eyes were still _THE EVENING “ANDREW!” SHE CRIED, “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH ANTHONY?" watching his face, seeking for an ans- wer to her unasked question. Blue eyes they were, which had been beautiful in their day, a little hard and anxious now, There was a touch of rouge upon her cheeks, and the un- screened evening sunlight was scarce- ly kind to her rather wan features and carefully arranged complexion. She still had her claims to beauty, however, Tallente admitted that to himself as he stood there appraising her, with a strange and almost im- personal regard—his wife of thirteen years, “It came up from the sea,"’ she said. ‘‘One moment Tony and I were sitting out under the trees to keep cburch is under the Methodist denomination, and known as the Indian Mission. They register as Indians in the church and in matters connected with the civil In 1881 they had a law passed In- corporating their own school district, although, because of the prejudice of the Legislature at the time, it is said, under the Delaware law they are known as Moorish schools. But these are Indian schools, and no one but a descendant of an Indian can attend them. A Few Have “Gone Astray.” According to Chief Clark, ‘‘occas jonally there is a case of a man or woman going astray from the Indians’ moral code and marrying a Negro," but such instances are few, and the offenders are boycotted and disowned. ‘These Indians, although farmers, are expert carpenters and wheelwrights. The Harman family is typical. It is said that Levin Harman, the oldest, is worth perhaps more than $50,000, and the other Harmans are considered nearly as well off. They live in com- fortable homes. There are also a doz- en or more other families of these People who are progressive, among them the Streets and the Johnsone. These Indians trace their origin back to aboutghe time of the arrival of the whites who settled on the Delaware's shores. The new whites married Nan- ticoke Indian women and Indian men married the white women, with the result that in a short time there was an admixture of the white and red blood, with the same strain continuing right along up until recent times, when, because of persecutions by both whites and blacks, many of them em- igrated, and descendants of the Nanti- cokes are widely scattered. About 100 years ago most of the Nanticokes migrated to Canada, where for a time they led a sort of nomadic life, but finally were accepted by the Canadian Indians and incor- porated in their tribes and then went to live on the reservations, The last migration was about 1860, when four carloads of men, women and children journeyed West and became assimi- lated with the whites to such a degree that no trace of any of them can be found now. The last word received by Chief Clark from any of his people in the West was about fifteen years ago. These migrations were a serious setback to the Indians remaining, but they soon revived and began to pro- gress. Then thelr success aroused jealousy which resulted in persecu- tion. Their church was burned, but the members raised money to erect @ new and better church, Served in World War, Out of a colony of about 160 men, women and children of this tribe a dozen. young men enlisted or were Grafted for the World War. They served as Indians and were recognized by the Government as such. The Nanticoke (ndians in Canada were traced to @ reservation by Dr. Speck of the University of Pennsyl- vania Indian Department. They are known as the Six Nationg: by the Canadians, The chief is Jospph Hill, a Nanticoke descendant, ————_-—_—_—— nim away from the sun, and the next we were driven shivering indoors, It was just like running into a fog bank in the middle of the Atlantic on a hot summer's day."* “I found the difference in .empera- ture amazing," he observed. “'I, too, dropped from the sunshino into a strange chill.” She tried to get rid of the subject. “So you lost your seat," she suid “Tam very sorry. ‘Tell me how it happened?

(Spectal to The World FORT SAM HOUSTON, Tex., April 17.—It is authoritatively stated that a series of experiments which are now being conducted at Kelly Field by the ‘War Department may determine what atmospheric and other meteorological conditions exist 80,000 feet, or fifteen miles, above the earth's surface, Ex- traordinary scientific preparations were made for these tests. It will be some time before the results are worked out and officially announced, it is stated. Since April 5 sm. bal- loons of special construction, with the view of making them as strong as possible, have been sent up dally, They aro dispatched on their voyage into the unknown in pairs, with in- struments attached them for re- cording pressure, temperature and other data regarding conditions at such high altitudes. ‘The balloons are 50 constructed that at a given height one of them will burst. The second balloon will not be sufficient to carry the weight of the instrument and will thus drift slowly to the earth. On account of the extreme high altitude which it is expected to reach, the balloon with the instruments may fall to earth many miles from San Antonio. Pub- lic notice was given requesting that the instruments with the data which they have collected, be sent to Kelly Freld by the finder. A reward of $10 in each case-will be paid for \e re- turn of the instruments by eoilect express. Attached to the balloon will be a letter of instruction for their re- turn. It is expected that many of the balloons may never be heard of. A few bursted balloons and record- ing instruments have already been returned to Kelly Field, but the rec- ords which they contain have not been made public. Kelly Field was ‘selected by the War Department for these experi- ments on account of the good visibil- ity in this section of the country, The experiment will be conducted by two expert civilians and one officer sent here from Washington for the purpose. The experiments are the line of genera! research being conducted by the Meteorol cal Section of the War Department and it is hoped that valuable will be obtained.

But in any case I did not make up my mind until I arrived that it was necessary for him to go."* There was silence for a time, an unsatisfactory and in some respects an unnatural silence. “Have you any plans?"* she askéd him presently. “Another consti- tuency?” He smiled a little wearily. For once he spoke quite naturally. “The only plan I have formulated at present is to rest for a time,” he admitted. She drank another glass of cham- Pagne and felt almost confident. She told him the sinall events of the sparsély populated neighborhood, spoke of the lack of water in the trout stream, the improvement in the golf links, the pheasants which a nearby landowner was turning down.

WASHBURN, Wis., April 17.—One of the largest and finest artesian wells in the northern part of the State has been completed at the State Fish Hatchery a Salmo, nine miles north of here, The hatchery was established more than twenty years Water for the trout ponds and breeding purposes has been provided from Pike's Creek, a nat~ ural spring stream, but in spite of the utmost care more or less dirt was washed in, which interfered with the life of the fish, and it was decided to make an effort to sink several artesian™ wells from which to get the supply. Work was started some days ago, and the well sunk about 160 feet when 4 flow of about 43,000 gallons a day was obtained, but a better flow was desired and the well was sunk 180 fect when the big pressure was tapped, and the water gushes out about twenty feet above the ground, The daily flow is 120,960 gallons, which is by far the largest in this part of the State, As soon es authority is granted by the State Fish Commission, work will be started on other wells, and it is hoped to strike a sufficient flow of well water to supply all needs of the hatchery.
