The ceremony completed, the padre
started to put out the candles as Man
uel took Liberty by the arm and
walked slowly out. As they reached
the chapel yard Therese, whom Pedro
waá trying to urge away, took one look
at the couple and then fainted.
After Manuel nnd Liberty had de
parted from the chapel Pancho took
the Major's notes from his pocket and
offered them to the Major, who made
no move, but stood staring at the man
who had brought about this unhnppy
affair. Then, when the Major refused
to take them, he tore them up and
threw them on the floor.
Then they silently left the place.
The Major went at once to Join Rut
ledge and the rangers, who hud been
ordered to meet Colonel Dalton's
troops, which had started out to cross
the border and capture the Mexicans
responsible for the attack on Discov
ery. Earlier In the day the colonel, who
was encamped with his troops near
the Horton estate, had received the
following message from Washington:

States Army.
The receipt of this order filled the
In Oklahoma City several days and saw
only one Indian In all that time. In
Muskogee one might suppose that alt
the tribes of Africa were set loose, but
he would never suspect the presence
of an Indian tribe.
There are plenty of real Indians In
Oklahoma, but they do not frequent
the cities. The Passamaquoddies, on
the other hand, like to frequent the
streets of Eastport.
