Coffee served in receptacle known in more

their guns their shoulders and stretched their
limbs on the threshing floor, ana the volvoda and his

"Non
"Ughl" calculated Tomo, turning away with Indian
grunt and disappointed air.
Tomo IS a fair type Of many OF the insurgents who
resemble the better types Of our Indians He is not
quite brown enough for a Cherokee, but handsome
enough he is, which is saying great deaI He has the
American aborignec, but he is ELUSIVE in his
demeanor than any Indian would to be. His man
ners to friends are soft, caressing, indolcnty
pretty II Tomo were decenty educated
and dressed in fashionable modern attire lie would
make a sensation in a Fifth avenue salon among the

costume with al bis faults, his shortcomings and his
ignorance-tho magnificent semlsayage.
When blood passes before the eyes OF such men as
Tomo it transforms the mans nature. especially when
it is the blood Of enemy. Madness a passion a
frenzy seize upon him and whrl him away under their
dire control 70 do dreadful deeds He is crazy to
hack ana destroy. He has the same fiery impatience
which prompts the Montenegrins never to wait for
