and his first order was to kill all the rel~
utives of tin~ murderer. The squaws and
pappooSes hurried to the miners‘ camp
near by, and begged hiding places in-
their cabins, and this aroused the miners,
who told the chief that he could not
carry out; his bloody plan. and that he
mns:countermand his order. He' re-
luctantly complied, but issued 'fresh
orders to bring Pizzur in at any cost.
In the mean time" the avengers were
riding fast alter the fleeing murderer.
and followed his trail into the Wallaroi
’nlley until darkness put an end to the
pursuit. Early next morning they took
up thetrail. and. after riding twelve
miles. they came upon the dead bodice
of the murderer and his horse. It was
apparent that after riding his horse until
he gave out the Indian killed him, and
then, . putting the. muzzle of his Win-
chester to his. right eye. pulled the trig-
ger, and cheated his pursuers of then
anticipated vengeance.

Why the Irish: Green.
The early Celts worshipped the Dawn

arose from a mistake among those who
had lost‘a thorough knowledge _of the '
old Irish langu . The sun, in Irish, 15

Iridi fondness for that color arose from.
the word‘s exact likeness in sound to
their word for the sun. In the some way.
when we talk about greenhouses. we
think they are called 39 because {Ire

not the color, but the sun; because green-
