RErURNEn TO HIS FIRST LovE.--Yester-
two youths, Of nearly full age, were at the
Farmers Hotel, Indianapolis, on their way
to the ''far West to The home of their child
hood, which they preferred to all others. 1t
appears they were stolen by Indians when
very young, and raised BY one OF the Yves
tern tribes Their friends ascertained the
whereabouts of the lost children sons time
ago, and induced them 10 leave the Indians
and return TO their relatives in one of the
Eastern States. The boys, after trying civ
il;zed life awhile concluded that they didn't

TO their Western home. We could not
