IndIans In thc loy,s Town

II they could. the boys would rather
have been Indians than anything else.
but ms there was really no hope Of this
whatever. they were willing TO be- set
tiers. and fight the Indians. They
had rather n mixed mind about them
IN the meantime but perhaps they
were not unlike other idolaters in both
frnrng and adoring their idols; per-
haps they came pretty near being In-
dians In that. and certainly they came
nearer than they knew. The boys
lived in the desire, IL not the hope. of
some time seeing an Indian. and they
made the most OF the Indians In the
circus. whom they knew 10 be just
white men dressed up; but none OF
them dreamed that what really hap
pened one day could ever happen.

boatluads Of genuine Indians from tho
