panied him on this particular mission.
She was a pretty young lady. and her
hair was golden in hue. One Of the old
bucks Of the tribe surrounding the fort
took d fancy to the wife 81 the contrac-
tor. and asked Wykes how much he
would take for her.

Wykes aIt would take at least fifteen

To the fort he was reminded Of il BY the

twenty ponies by the side Of his wagon
and demanded the -paIe face squaw. 2
Mr Wykes was righleOusly indignant,
but the old Indian was unrel entlng, and
he had all the warriors ia the tribe back

BROKE THROUGH THE ICE.

Herman Stevens Had a Narrow rs.
cape from Drowning In the Harbor
Yesterday.
Herman Stevens of Wallace street, an
employe of the Candee Rubber company,
had narrow escape from drowning in the
waters of the harbor yesterday afternoon.
About 5 o'clock Stevens, accompanied by
Wslter Crosby, started to walk out on the
ice in the harbor. Soon both men became
possessed of spirit of daring, and each
tried to venture farther out than the
other.
Both men walked out in safety until op-
posite the old light. At this point Stevens
was in advance. Suddenly he was seen to
break through the ice, but fortunately for
him he had presence of mind enough to
stretch out his arms and thus prevent him
self from going under the water by hold
ing on to the edges of the ice.
A number of those on the ice promptly
ran to Stevens assistance and succeeded in
rescuing him from his perilous position,
none the worse for his experience except q
thorough drenehing. He was taken to his
home In hack. After Stevens had been
pulled out of the water Lis first words
were: 'Well, I went the furtherest out,
anyway"
