TION The last word on his lips a curse, 1
his evil face lighted tin with satis-
faction that he was the center of in-
terest. Johnny, Indian and murderer ;
went to the scaffold today withhout
a tremor. Ibapah. his companion
was sullen and fearful. Both men
died without the quiver of an eye
lash to show the slightest fear.
The law has been vindicated on
two of themost atrocious murderers
that ever went to the scaffold, and
those tnat saw the execution will al
ways believe the law in this case
failed of its purpose. Both victims i
were ignorant half savage Regener
ates that are better out of the world,
but neither xt them seemed to real
ize the purpose of the execution.
They knew they were to be hung
and that Ihere was no chance of es
caping the program fixed for them
to go through; but the tragic side of
the anair did not appeal to tnem injing under sentence to go through
the slightest degree. tA3 game awfuI ceremony, Frank
Johnny, the larger of the two, and ,
an evil looking brute, laughed, ana
talked with the guards and ministers
around him for a moment and then
broke out in curses as he stalked
around the guard room, the central
figure for once in his life of a circle
of white men.
He asked for a cigarette, because j
he knew he could get it. A smile of
satisfaction swept over his swarthy
face when half a dozen men proffered
expensive cigarette cases, but he dis
dained all these for a brown paper
and tobacco sack with which he
rolled a cigarette in fingers that did
not tremble tor an instant, men ue
asked for a drink, and that desire
was granted. For once in his life,
just as he was about to leave it,
Johnny, Indian, outcast low fellow,
got everything he wanted. Fat and

of triumph to the last sweet second,
Ibapah on the other side of the
room, talked little and walked often
to the door where he peered through
the iron bars for the last few mo
ments left to him. His swarthy face
was blanched, for his intelligence was
great enough to allow him to realize
that all these preparations meant
something that . he did not under
stand but -something none the less
terrible. Me hacT been told that he
was to die and the manner of his
death, but he had a wistful puzzled
look in his face the whole time, the
preparations were going on. It may
be that Ibapah understood some of
the import of his position, but not
much for he too deplored the luck
that brought him to such a pass.
When Father Gartland remonstrat
ed with Johnny about swearing, the
Indian reolied; "I don't
want to

i The two men were taken from
the coll3 at twelve o'clock. In the
guard room they were given stimu
lents under the direction of the doc
tors. Father Gartland and Rev. Pike
extended to the condemned the con
solations of religion, that neither of
the condemned understood. They
listened to the word of the ministers
with respect .nd took what they said
for granted. In a moment one of
them broke cut in curses.
The guards started to affix the
straps on the men. Ibapah was

The two traps dropped with a
terrific crash.
Out in the condemned ward the
crash of the timbers struck like
thunder in the heart of a white
man, a man of intelligence and fe-jl-

Cowering in his cell, he has been
