1t was several days before we were on
satisfactory terms again. Tads wanted
to be white man. He wanted to make
''talk marks" on 11pupper" with a feather
Il sometimes used quill pen, be it re-
marked-and he wanted to speak with
his finger. Well, did manage to teach
him few letters from railroad poster,
and he learned to drawi out 'sT-a-d-s" in
droll way. With perseverance that
was really startling I afterward took
him in an uncertain way through page

clared In his bullfrog voice after he had
accomplished this wonderful feat.
Great distress racked Tads soul on
the fatal day when the wickiups were
taken down and the tribe mounted its
mustangs to go over the hills. The
Apaches had to search all over the sta
ton to find lads At last they hauled
him forth from under my bunk, scream
ing like mad. OF no avail were his
screams, of no avail was his cry: "Me

Apache papas are unbending and
Apache nranrmas are memorable. Away
they whisked Tads, leaving behind him
tenderfoot with queer feeling in his
throat.
"We1l, the boy has the instincts Of
white man." l said, for was proud of
what fancied had made of him, ''and
he'll be a shining light among those dew

like him to put ssmong them, the Apache
question would settle itself and we could
set our soldiers to hoeing corn"
Then took up the restless life of
city man, and big and busy railroad
Office claimed a good share Of my atten-
ton for the next ten ears. Yes, it was
fully that long befo again set foot
upon the desert. Our train stopped at
the old station. How the pepper tree
had grown, to be sure. In its shade sat
u cavalry sergeant with half-dozen Of
his men about him, and in their midst
were three Indian prisoners, who were
being taken to the fort to be shot.
They were fierce looking fellows, those
three savages. There one-the young
est-who was perfect demon, the sol
diers said,
''Killed three women. and two babies
down at Mustang Wash last Tuesday"
said the sargeant to me; ''just after one
of them had given him his breakfast
too. He's young one, not more than
seventeen, should say, but he's the
worst red devil ever saw"
Gazing at the boy captive, strange
feeling stole over me. The stolid face
was oddly familiar.
ellis name? Blessed if I know" said
the sergeant. "What do you call your
self, young one?" he asked, giving him a
not too delicate poke with the toe Of his
boot.
''Me? Why. my name's TadsF' grunted
the boy.
"Talks pretty good English for wild
devil who has been over the Mexican
border SO long, doesn't he?' asked the
sergeant, turning to me.

why not go to Colorado? Nestled around

THE HILLS OF SONG.

Lo! have Jared and Jared again,
Far up and down the ways of men,
And found no path I straysd along
AS happy as the hills OF sdtg.
As in the days when time began
Are played the merry pipes of Pan.
And never rises note of wrong
Upon the happy hills Of song.
There Is no frost Of doubt to blight;
The sun of faith sheds lustrous light;
To peace and joy the hours belong
Upon the happy hills Of song.
Then hoi who WIN, and follow me!
Through faowery meads the path shall be;
Fear not the way Is steep or long
Unto the happy hills of song.
Loi have Jared and Jared again,
Far up and down the ways of men,
And found no path strayed along
As happy as the hills Of song.

Brasses and Bronzes of the Rindoos.

The brass and bronze trade is kept alive
by the religious customs of the Hindoos,
who are not allowed to use wooden and
earthenware vessels freely, and brass and
bronze are to them as important as glass
and china to the westerns. Almost all
Hindoo utensils are of brass, copper or
bronze, and it is the custom to present the
female portion of a Hindoo family with a
valuable batterie de cuisine, made either of
brass or copper, and a still existing Hindoo
ceremony is that of carrying the utensils in
a procession at the wedding.
The result of this custom is that almost
all the platters, trays, bowls, nut crackers,
and all brass and copper utensils are most
beautifully ornamented, and there are
lovely combinations of brass and copper,
and silver and copper. All Hindoo lamps
are made of brass. The Hindoo women
used to have lovely brass caskets covered
with ornamentations called chellams, man
ufactured in Malabar, in which they kept
their jewels, but these are fast being re-
placed by the vulgar English iapanned dis
patch box. At Sivaganga a beautiful but
seldom patronized brass trade exists, which
makes toys and most lifelike representa-
tons of animals, lizards, frogs, etc-Nine-
teenth Century.
