Two Knives Talking had not touched the Jug. Th$. appearance of the Jug on . the scede Mas merely nn accident. The Jug was whole when the medicine man ..picked it up. It was fi'led with water.

Tnshiyca- > «itco." Pftid Scissors, the first one to break the silence. linking his arm through Hinsdale's he walked to the lodge, followed by the gaze of the entire -village. Ouce they were screened from the view of the Ogalala Dinsdale esclalmed :* "It beat anything I ever saw. Talk •bout luck! If thi^t girl hadn't broken the jug--' •«If! if!" repeated Scissors Impatiently. "J nm wakan witshasha. I wlsTv you would remember that. I am different from other men.* Many things I have forgotten, because a wakan mnn is not - supposed to remember rubbish. But the things I have learned from life come back to me when the knowledge can help me. When a man can remember only the helpful and forget the useless, then k Is wakan. """"What I did on Crow creek was only sleight-of-hand. Fellows on the stage back in the States can beat me all hollow at It. Even if Shunca-luta knew this last was some trick he'd never tell his red friends. It's better (or his reputation to have the Indians - believe the gods beat htm than that I outfooled him.** - While waiting for the village to reknown. The village will believe they are following the river to the west. They must ride from the south end of the butte and keep away from the river. They must ride hard and fast to the little hill where the Crows were killed and reach the head of Owl river above Slave butte. Those who give chase will turn back when they do not find a trail along the Grand. Shuncaluta's medicine will see the white men making north to Fort Lincoln." "Two rifles must be with the ponies and a bundle of food," said Scissors. "For If the white men are brought back It would be very bad for Shuncaluta. He could never pick up a Jug again without It breaking. A.S the medicine grows stronger kettles would break. He could not drink or eat from any dish, hut would live like a thing 6n four legs." "Two ponies with food and guns will be where it has been said*" -promised the mcdicine man. . i . : . "Ilow soon?" ' > "In a. few sleeps. Before a man conies from the hills. Shunca-luta must be cunning as. the kit fox. He has things to do first.** - coyer some of its composure they remained in the entrance; and as they talked Scissors amused himself by catting out pictures of the yelping curs and fat puppies. No one caine sear them and the family In the nearest lodge moved to a more remote shelter. "Very soon this will be looked on as a white medicine lodge," mused Scissors after he had discovered the surreptitious withdrawal of their neighbors. Dinsdale discerned a great advantage in their desolation and whispered: "Why not try for It now? They're Still stupid over the trick. If we could reach the ponies we could race for It" "I'm wakan witshasha. My medicine will tell me when to act and when to be idle," said Scissors. "Here comes one now who must talk with us. He us.--It is good. He knows he must have an understanding with us if he would save himself from being . known as a /allure." The figure approaching them bad the head muffled in a blanket, but Scissors Identified him as Shunca-lcta. Scissors turned to one side as If to pass without speaking, but baited -~as a troubled voice said: "My medicine tells me to talk with the white men. Unless Shunca-luta ---ean learn the Jug magic be will be a ghost and wander alone." "Shunca-luta should talk to«Tunkan and paint the rocks green and red," ..advised Scissors. "He has long talked to the sacred stones. They tell him to talk to the Jug-breaker. I will give many ponies to get the medicine of the Jug." Scissors laughed at him. "Two Knives Talking can give you the medicine that breaks Jugs, but many ponies will not buy It." "Let the white man tell the price for the medicine." Scissors produced his paper and scissors and cut out a Jug. Next he cut two bowed figures mounted on gal loping ponies, each figure wearing a bat to show It was a white man. He dropped them on the ground before Sorrel Horse. A lean hand darted through the blanket and snatched up the paper pictures. "When will the white man aellT* whispered the medicine man "It must be before any rider comes from the Short Medicine Pole hills." "Shunca-luta knows the young white man is not High Wolf's friend. He knows Two Knives Talking is afraid of the talk High Wolf will send. If he tells what he knows in Tashuncaultco's ear the Ogalala will make two new medicine shirts out of white •kin." "That is true," agreed Scissors. "It Is true we want to ride from here. It Is true Tashunca-uitco will have us skinned If you can make hiin believe the truth. Go and tell him now. Then pick up a Jug and have It break In your hands. Go away from your people and have men of other villages drive you back from their lodge, call Ing you the 'Jug-breaker,' the medicine man whom Tunkan forgot. Two Knives Talking will wait here In the sunlight while ydu tell Tashunca-ultco that the white men are afraid of High Wolfs talk."* Sorrel Horse sat with bowed head, the mackinaw blanket covering all but his moccasins. Finally he said -- '"Before any talk Is brought from High Wolf two ponies will be hidden at the south end of the butte. When tfM whlte MMB 0O It most net He rose and left them, still wearing his blanket so that no man might look on hi§ , face. As the prisoners walked back to the village Scissors explained the talk to his companion, and said: "He'll stick to his bargain, too. HeM rather have a hundred men escape than to be laughed at as a man who has lost his medicine. He'd rather have a thousand escape than to have every dish he touches break in his hands. Stop worrying." When they came to Sorrel Horse's lodge he was standing in the entrance, his eyes glittering ominously. He held up a Jug and wiped his lips and said: The medicine stops working against Shunca-luta. He drinks Without the Jug breaking." "Fool!" growled Scissors. "Because Two Knives Talking stopped the medicine from working until Shunca-luta could pay for It does he think the medicine grows weak? I will break this Jug--" With a low howl of fear Sorrel Horse thrust the Jug Inside the lodge and begged: "Walt. Shunta-luta buys the medicine. He wanted to see how strong is the white man's heart." With a menacing scowl Scissors passed on, telling Dinsdale: "Have to watch him tike a snake. I might have known he would have risked one more Jug. But he'll be good <. now." As the two strolled about the village the grown-ups pretended not to sense their presence. The children kept at a distance and yet were always in sight. Scissors cut out some pictures of dogs, ponies and elk and dropped them on the ground. These pictures were picked up after the white men had moved on. Toward sunset they saw several lodges having some of the pictures pinned on the outside. The inmates bad decided the white man's paper magic would bring good luck; nor did Sorrel Horse object to them. Crazy Horse left the village early in the morning, and the girl bringing their food told the prisoners he had gone west with a picked body of men. Scissors Interpreted this Journey to mean the war chief was worried over the failure of his messengers to return from the Short Medicine Pole hills. The chief returned at sunset, his pony fagged. The mounts of his men were also played out, showing they had traveled furiously. He did not come to see his prisoners; nor would the guards outside the lodge give any Information. The last thing Scissors did before the sun vanished was to stand outside the lodge and stare toward the west and northwest. He waited and watched as long as It would be possible to behold a signal smoke against the sky. With a deep breath of relief he rejoined Dinsdale and remarked : "They can't get a smoke tonight." "But a messenger can ride in any moment," was the moody reply. "And his coming will be the signal for cutting our throats." 'Tm wakan witshasha. Nothing has happened yet. Wonder where Shuncaluta has been today. Haven't seen hide nor hair of him, and his lodge Is closed tight. He must have left the village very early." "He'll betray us. I'm sorry you told him what you did." "He wiH n°t betray us. He'll return and say he's been back In the bills making new medicine, one that will break Jugs without touching them," said Scissors. I think we're fools not to make a break tonight." mumbled Dinsdale. "They have a strong night guard. We'd be run down in no time. Shuncaluta has the right notion--strike off from the southern end of the butte and make Owl river. We must have guns and food." Dlnsdaie's moral courage was slipping fast. Physical courage he had In abundance. Risks that he could discern and grapple with, even with the odds big against him. alarmed hlin not. But he had no defense against his Imagination. He was entirely recovered from the hardships of the journey to the butte, but he was finding It difficult to sleep nights. There was a new note In the morning's confusion. To the excited barking of dogs was. added the shrill calls of children, telling their elders to come out and behold a new mystery. The prisoners, ever fearing a disastrous turn In their affairs, crawled to the flap and looked out. A man wearing on his head the skin of an elk's head with horns attached, and an elk hide over his shoulders, was moving slowly between the lodges, in His hands and legs were painted be] jreUew and In each hand be carried a hoop covered wfth elk hide and decorated with bergamot, an herb much liked by elks. Ahead of this grotesque figure walked two girls carrying a long-stemmed red sandstone pipe, decorated in the wakan fashion. As the masked man advanced he went through certain grotesque maneuvers that caused Dinsdale to open his eyes very wide. "What the devil is It, and what Is It trying to do?" he whispered. "The pipe's a medicine pipe. It must be Shunca-luta. The head covering and hoops tell the peopl< he has dreamed of an elk and has visited an Elk lodge In his sleep, and Is now under the protection of their medicine. He's trying to act like an elk. See! The people understand. None of the women stays on the windward side and no one goes near him. They're making themselves believe he 1* an elk. Now what Is he up to?" Shunca-luta had turned between two lodges and Was running rapidly. Ahead of hin. was a wide miry spot. After he had pussod this he turned and nodded his head toward It. As he moved on men and women pressed on after him and began clapping their hands to their mouths to express amazement. Scissors left the lodge and hurried toward them, Dinsdale remaining behind. As Scissors drew up the group dissolved and moved away from him. lie examined the ground to see what they had been staring at. Smothering a smile he returned to Dinsdale. "What's the row?" asked Dinsdale. "That fellow Is very cunning. There are tracks of an elk In the muddy spot. They really believe he wore the feet of an elk In passing over it. Of course he took some hoofs and made the tracks early this morning. Now he "I Told You So. I Knew That Devil Would Ring In a Cold Deck." runs and jumps over the Bpot and they'll always believe his feet turned to hoofs long enough for him to leave the tracks." "Pretty shallow,"--grumbled Dinsdale. "How could he know some one hadn't seen the tracks right after be made them?" "It's all the same," said Sclssor%. "Then they'd believe he had passed that way already and had left thet\ After we've eaten we'll look him up" "I'll stay here. Only time I want fa see any of them Is when I've got mr guns with me." The young girl who had broken tb% Jug brought their breakfast, her brigltt eyes fairly shining with excitement. Much of her former fear had vanished, and when Scissors questioned her she readily told him: "Shunca-luta comes back from the hills with an elk dream. He sacrificed two of his ponies. Now he dreams of an elk and the elks give him a very strong medicine. He says he will make the Jug-braaklng medicine after a few sleeps." She ran away to observe more wonders, and after Scissors had translated her si^ech Dlnadale growled and complained: "I told jrdu so. I knew that devil would ring In a cold deck." Scissors smiled contentedly and said: "You're forgetting the two ponies he's •sacrificed.' He's smart. He's working them up by degrees to believe he can break Jugs. He'll have them at the proper pitch Just about the time we light out. They'll never suspect him of having anything to do with our going. He even arranges It so none of his ponies will be missing except the two he 'sacrificed' several sleeps before we got away. He's clever. He's setting hi itage for a big effect. I must go around and see him." He succeeded In seeing Sorrel Horse but was unable to speak with him privately. Warriors and women were standing thick about the medicine man's lodge. Crazy Horse strode through the group and after darting a glance at Sorrel Horse said to Scissors : They say Shunca-luta 4*111 break jugs without touching them;* "When?" asked Scissors. Crazy Horse did not answer but looked Inquiringly at Sorrel Horse. The medicine man confidently proclaimed: » "By the end of a few bleeps Shuncaluta will break Jugs." "Shunca-luta has been making a very strong medicine," Scissors politely said. ** "He has been back in the hills where he made his heart humble by giving two of his best'ponies to Taku Wakan. Then Taku Wakan talked to him through an elk dream. Tunkan's flying rocks have told him he shall break Jugs." Scissors turned away, pleased to know Sorrel Horse had burned his bridges behind him and must now complete his bargain for the white man's magic. Crazy Horse followed behind Scissors and said: "The young men do not come with a talk from High Wolf. Has Two Knives seen them In his dreams?" "Has Tashunca-ultco asked his medicine man about the scouts?" "Shunca-luta has been dreaming of elks. He must paint his lodge before he can look In a dream for my young men." "Two Knives Talking has seen In a dream two men riding north from the Short Medicine Pole hills as If looking for a soldier smoke. The dream men had no heads. Two Knives Talking could not see If they were old or young." - "They are ghosts. They have been killed," muttered Crazy Horse. "Two Knives Talking believes the dream means they do not know Ju.it where to look for a smoke." "They would never leave the hill* to look for soldiers If High Wolf and his Cheyennes were In the hills." •-Scissors shrugged bis shoulders and replied: "What is It to the white men where they ride? They are fed each day and have a good lodge to sleep In." Crazy Horse glared wrathfully at the back of Scissors' head, and warned: "If no talk comes from High Wolf at the end of three sleeps, and If Shunca-luta's new medicine says the white men are liars they will eat no more Ogalala meat and berries." "Shunca-luta's medicine will never tell the Ogalala to skin the white men,1 calmly replied Scissors. "The white men went to Mato Tlpl to find a trail to this village. Little Big Man surrounded us. We made no fight, for opr medicine told us Little Big Man would bring us to Tnshunca-ultco. It Is s*>. My white brother. Two Guns Shoot In* could have killed many of them, f<*r his gun medicine Is very strong. But he did not hurt them." Crazy Horse mused over the statement for some minutes. He said nothing until they were close to the prisoners' lodge. Then he spoke and Scissors turned to listen. "Tashunca-ultco has the young man's guns. Do they really say he can fire them better than Tashunca-ultco?" Scissors smiled as If amused at the query. "Let the young man talk for himself through the guns," he suggested. "Two Knives Talking does not know how fast and straight Tashunca-ultco can shoot He only knows about the white man. After my white brother has done his best then, the mighty war chief can show him how a man should shoot" •X«X*X«X*X4>X*X<0>X+X*X<frX«X*t*X*X*X«ZAX*X*X*Z«X«X*Z«Z«X* Old Documents Indicate Chinese Found America In 1761 the distinguished sinologist.

In the days when a man's house was actually his castle which he had to defend by force of arms, kings were not anxious to assume responsibility. Therefore they found It convenient to assign their adherents to districts, giving each the power to be master, collect taxes, and administer justice as he saw tit The term "palatinate" was appropriately applied to such a holding as It comes from the same Latin root word as "palace" and "castle." Three hundred years ago palatinates were common. Many English counties have been palatinates and this form of governorship was common over here. For Instance, Maryland was the palatinate of the CHlvert family. Maine the palatinate of Ferdinaiulo <'.urges, etc. The Bavarian paluilnntc (8 the only territory of any Importance which fear retained the tent Crazy Horse walked away, his head bowed. Scissors entered the lodge and told Dinsdale: I think there's a chance for you to show some gun play. The chief Is curious to see what you can do. Too bad your nerves are shaken to pieces." "Shaken to pieces?" snarled Dinsdale. "It's this waiting for something to happen that's troubling me. My shooting nerves are always steady." "That's a good talk, I think you'll have a chance very soon. The chief understands revolvers* and rifles, but he's never seen any fancy revolver shooting." Dinsdale paced about the lodge, his body erect, his eyes glowing. To feel the guns In his hands once more would do him a world of good. Nor did Scissors err In estimating the extent of the chiefs curiosity. Crazy Horse returned to his own lodge undecided whether to have the young man give an exhibition or not But once he fell to contemplating the two Colts the Idea fastened upon him. He was always ready to learn better technique In the handling of firearms. Dwelling apart from the reservations he had missed seeing soldiers and officers at target practice, and his acquaintance with the white man's skill had been largely limited to skirmishes and battles when Individual scores could not be followed. Within thirty minutes after Scissors had spoken to his companion Little Big Man called at the lodge and sullenly announced the prisoners were to follow him. v On the slope leading to the river and the pony herd were gathered the men, women, children and most of the dogs. All were waiting with childish eagerness to witness the white man's skill. Crazy Horse was seated apart from the assemblage and had the two revolvers on a ft>be before him. The chief asked: "Does the young man wish to show the Ogalala how to shoot?" He Is ready to show them," Scissors answered. "How does he want to shoot?" asked the chief. "He must shoot away from us." Scissors repeated this query to Dinsdale. "Tell htm to have some of his men stand up the slope behind i e and throw gourds and dishes down the slope and over my head. That will let me keep my back to the people." Scissors repeated the suggestion to the chief. Crazy Horse readily agreed to It, and gave an order to the spectator The women ran back to the lodges to secure mugs, bowls and tin plates. dozen warriors with rifles were drawn up behind Dinsdale ready to shoot him down did he offer to face about before dropping the revolvers to the ground. Scissors explained all this, and Dinsdale curtly answered: I understand. But I want to look at the guns and see If they are all right before I commence." Crazy Horse unloaded the weapons and took them to Dinsdale and watched him closely as he 8pun the cylinders and tested the trigger action. I am ready to load," be told -Scissors. He faced down the slope and reached a hand behind him for the cartridges. Crazy Horse handed these to Scissors and hurried back to his blanket. Scissors fed them into the outstretched hand and Dinsdale examined each critically before slipping It Into a chamber. At last be was ready and stood with the guns half-raised, his head tilted back so as to catch an early sight of the targets as they flew over his bead. The men with the rifles crouched within five feet of him, while those chosen to throw the targets stood some fifteen feet away. Ten men were picked to throw the gourds and dishes. To prevent a too general discharge of targets Crazy Horse ordered that three men on each end of the line should throw In turn, from right to left and transversely, while the four center men should hurl straight ahead, each taking his turn. This would allow not more than three targets crossing Dlnsdaie's field of vision at the Bame time. The gathering on the slope became as quiet as a tableau. All eyes were focused on the motionless figure hold Ing both arms half-raised, the head back as If making a sun dance vow to Wakantanka. "Be ready I" Scissors broke the si lence by yelping as a man on each end drew back bis arm. Then one after another the warriors hurled dish, mug, or plate, and Dinsdale worked both guns for a total of seven shots and dropped his hands to his side as the last dish scaled to the ground. It did not seem possible to the spectators that he could have released that number of shots. They had ex pected to hear distinct detonations, and instead It had been a blurred, crackling sound of very brief dura tlon. There was something so casual about the whole performance that none deemed It possible more than one hit could have been scored, and that would be by accident It «vaa all over so soon there was only one feature which was recalled--how a tin plate had deviated from its gliding flight by jumping convulsively. "Drop your guns," advised Scissors. Dinsdale did so; then the squaws scuttled forward to bring back the targets. Hands patted against lips. Grunts and sharp yelps sounded. Crazy Horse leaned forward and looked at the prisoner with new respect 8ix of the seven shots had registered. ••Did well, son." murmured Scissors. "It's a Joke," replied Dinsdale. "Not more than three were In fair position at the same time. I was a fool to miss even the one shot It was a plate, broadside to. and It shifted to edgeon just as I fired. Til stick to the bowl and mugs next time. Ask the chief tf he wants me to hit the same target more than once, or a different target with each shot." Scissors put the question and Crasy Horse courteously answered It was for the young man to decide. He said It would be as wakan to hit one target twice as to hit two targets once. Scissors reminded the chief that Dinsdale had five shots left Then he warned Dinsdale: "Man on your right haa a blfr-bowt. He'll throw across to your left Pick IP your gone." "Let's hope he throws slow high," mumbled Dinsdale, bending and securing the guns. Despite his condemnation of the spinning plates he could not rials! centering one the instant it appeared overhead, the full surface showing and making an easy mark. He used his left-hand gun on this, and within second split a mug crossing to his right with the same gun. Then appeared the big bowl, thrown high and j faam's Vegetable fjunMiiMl traveling In a broad arc from right to left. Firing the last shot In his left-hand gun with' much deliberation, be then fired twice with his right the latter shots blending as one. He dropped the guns and waited. Washte-helol" grunted Crasy Horse, "Bring me the guns. Bring the bowls and the plate." Scissors carried the revolver* to the robe and remarked: "Tashunca-ultco now knows my friend could have killed many of Little Big Man's band had we been looking for a fight instead of for this vil- I j table Compound has given me back my tie was caught with his guns In | health ana I can not praise it enough.

Dinsdale dutifully turned his back and Little Big Man and his braves began crawling forward. Scissors bit his lips In anger at Little Big Man's portrayal of the capture. He was making the spectators believe the white men knew nothing of the Indian's appearance until the dusky hands w&re all but on them. At last the half-circle of braves were stretching out hands to haul Dinsdale to the ground Llttls Big Man whistled, and Dinsdale leaped from them and turned about while his feet were clear of the ground. And the two guns were out and clicking madly and fanning the short line of red men. Versed In pantomime, there was none of the onlookers who did not concede the victory to the white man. His gun medicine is very wakan," called out Crazy Horse as he waved the warriors back from continuing their attack. "Bring me the guns." Taking them from Scissors he walked back to his lodge.
