gigantic horse stealing industry is thought
to have been established In the coteaus

take old, decrepid horses out among the

any strsys that may be around will come
to these horses, when they are caught and
sent to other parties connected with gang,
and soon they will have the borses hum

then offer them for sale with safety. The
facts lead to the belief that this organizs-

Great Falls, Mont, and probably 10 the

touching story of Man and Wife Who
Never Saw Each other.
Every pleasant evening, in that hour
just before twilight, which we all love
to idle away with inconsequential
thoughts and observations, there
passes my window couple that great
ly interests me. The lady is but a
young girl, it seems, and she has such
a pretty face, so white and peaceful,
with something of a sadness in it,
something Of JOY.
She has great eyes that stare strange
ly at you, and, at the sound of her
companions voice, their lids are
dropped, and the long, graceful eye
lashes fall upon her cheeks. The man
reminds me of one of the old Saxons.
He is big and strong, and has the
curly golden hair and the big blonde
beard of that race of men. His com
panion hangs on his arm, and yet he
seems to depend upon her as much
as she on him, for they cling very
closely indeed together, while he care
IulIy picks thelr way out with light
cane.
Both are blind. 1 inquired about
them the other day. Neither ever saw
the light of day. Neither can ever
know how glorious the sunlight is, how
prettily blend the beautiful hues of the
flowers, how grand all nature looks.
Neither ever saw the other! and vet
they are a bridal pair
They only live in a world of dark
ness and in each other. They met long
ago, became devotedly attached to each
other and were married. And SO now
every evening when the weather is
fine, they go out for stroll, and as
they slowly, carefully walk past my
window l think--''it is sad and vet
pretty sight-a blind bridal pairl''-

PLuckY YOUNG wRAx.
His Gallant Fight with Indians Against
Overwhelming Odds.

His Gallant Fight with Indians Against
Overwhelming Odds.
Three days after the battle of White
River, in which the gallant Thorn
burgh lost his life, Freeman q Wray,
an eighteen-year-old boy who was in
charge of cattle forty-fve miles north
of White River Agency, was attacked
by a band of savages. He contrived to
get his rife and to make so good de-
Tense, that they betook themselves to a
ravine and besieged him at their leis-
ure. After awhile he got out of am
munition and was forced to climb into
a wagon to get new supply.
While he was executing this move
ment bullet struck him in the calf of
the leg, passing directly through. In
an instant more another ball caught
him at the hip and knocked him down.
With whoop and a yell the savages
ran toward the spot expecting to take
their plucky foe prisoner. But they
were again foiled, for Wray was only
down temporarily, and getting to his
feet again scrambled into the wagon
where lay his ammunition. He pulled
sack of -four in front of him and
piled bag of beans on top of that and
took hold of such other articles within
reach as made for him barricade
against the promised shower OF balls.
Rapidly cutting hole in the canvas
wagon-cover, he saw the Indians ap-
preaching, Leveling his rifle, he fred
at the foremost of his pursuers, the
ball taking effect. This threw the
Indians into confusion, and they re-
treated into the ravine. They threw a
hailstorm of bullets into the wagon,
and one of these caught young Wray
in the right eye, and lodged there.
The Indians finally retreated. After
protracted delay the boys wounds
were dressed and the balls extracted,
and after five months nursing he
seemed to be entirely well, although
he had lost the use of one eye. One
of his wounds broke out afresh
eighteen months after the fight, and
caused his death. Cor Philadelphia

Teeth Extracted with the Assistance OF
the Wonderful Current.
Boston people nowadays have their
superhuous teeth drawn by electricity.
The process is very simple, scarce any
apparatus being required beyond an
ordinary two-cell battery with vibrator
attachment. This attachment is a
thin strip of metal fastened at the
ends, which is made to vibrate a thou
sand or more times a second by the
electric current. At each vibration
the circuit is cut off and renewed
again, the effect being to give a per-
fectly steady flow of the mysterious
fluid.
In order to make sure that the flow
is quite satisfactory, the operator tunes
the machine assisted by little reed
tuning pipe-until the strip of metal
sings CA Now, to the battery are
attached three wires. Two of them
have handles at ends, and the third is
hitched to forceps. The patient in
the chair is given a handle to hold in
each hand, and the current is turned
on gradually until it becomes painful.
Then he is told to grasp the handle as
strong as possible, the electricity
having been switched off for a moment
lis turned on again suddenly, and the
dental surgeon applies his forceps SIM
ultaneously to the tooth.
The instant the molar is touched it,
as well as the parts surrounding, be-
comes electrified, and absolutely in
sensible to pain. When it is with,
dlawn from the socket the subject OF
the operation feels not the slightest
disagreeable sensation. A jerk and
the tooth is out, the patient drops the
electric handles, and the painless affair
is oVer.-Indianapolis News.

less charge of powder with which the
boy had been intrusted had been sup
plemented by something of a more
deadly nature. This repulse afforded
both Ben and the captain a chance to
reload. AS he rose from the deck,
however, to pour in another volley,
Webster felt puff of air on his cheek,
and, glancing aloft, perceived by the
bellying canvas that the schooner was
again gathering steerage way. Turn
ing seaward, he swept the hori-
zon with an anxious glance, where a
wall of white water seemed to be rush
ing landward. In a few moments a
white squall, so common in those lati-
tudes, would be upon them. The ma
tives saw it, also, and disheartened by
the resistance they had met with,
turned to fee. Webster's heart beat
high with feeling of uncomfortable
exultation, as, bending to the influence
OF the freshening wind, the schooner
tore through the water.
''She's got steerage-way on her,
Ben, he shouted. Lower away the
peak bit, and let the topsail down on
the cap. Wen give those fellows
something they won forget"
Rushing aft, he threw the wheel
hard over aud brought the schooner's
head to the wind. Right in her track,
confused and helpless, were huddled
the frightened occupants of one
canoe, half-buried in the foam
OF the waves, now lashed in
to resistless fury. Erect at
the wheel the tall form of Captain
Webster, as he peered through the
drift, seemed like some avenging
Nemesis. A dreadful yell was heard
even above the tempest; terror-stricken
forms, unable to withstand the shock,
anticipated death by leaping into the
foaming water. The great bow rose
high in the air. There was a loud
crash, a horrible grating sensation
along the keel of the schooner, as,
bending gunwale under before the full
force of the squall, she swept triumph
antly forward, solitary figure hang
ing from her martingale. only to drop
a moment later before the weapon Of
the Californian, while in her wake a
few struggling forms alone denoted
the spot where the would-be capturers
of the Golden Gate had met their awful
death.
When the squall lifted a few min
utes later they were already far from
land.
The body of their dead comrade "
ing at the foot of the main-mast, alone
remained mute but awful witness to
the desperate character of the conflict
through which the crew of the Golden
Gate had so lately passed. For many
seasons Captain Webster piled between
the port of Victoria and San Francisco,
but never again was he disturbed by
the Apponees, amongst whom, to the
present day, he bears the name of the
''White Avenger. "-Austyn w. Gran
