AN UNEXPECTED MEETING.
How an Indian Brave Completely Nom
plused Yale Professor.
Professor Marsh's Investigations of
sxtinct animals were conducted year aft
er year in sectians of the far west which
had not been explored by white men,
de had many adventures while he was
discovering his 200 species of fossil YER
tebrates, but perhaps the most interest
ing was an encounter with an Indian
warrior in the Bad Lands
The professor, while searching one
day for his gigantic six horned mann
mails, oretaceous birds and precious pter
oaaety1s, was separated from the other
members of the expedition. He was so
busily intent upon his scientific occupa-
ton that he did not hear the stealthy
approach of a solitary horseman. TWAS
an Indian buck on the warpath in full
paint and feather.
The professor is man of high cour-
age, but he involuntarily found himself
yearning fer the quiet and security of
his college classroom at Yale when he
was suddenly confronted by this star
ding apparition His companions were
not thin call He was completely ct
the mercy of tho savage
The Indian ccolly discounted from
his pony, and stood motionless before
him, resplsltent iIF paint and with
plunes waving Erect, ginewy and dig
nifed, he was a splendid specimen of a
lighting buck. Itwas the most uncorn-
Portable moment which the professor
lad ever known.
~ when the silence had become intol-
cradle.
Is this Professor Marsh?'' asked the
Indian in olear. cut English
Yes, " answered the professor, COM
pletely taken abaok by the unexpected
identification.
"of Yale collego?. continued the In
dian Brislzly.
The same, confessed the professor.
How is Professor Hadley?' asked
tho indian without inomenr's delay.
The naturalist was almost speech
less. TO Dc suddenly interrupted in his
scientific labors by a buck in warpaint
ard feathers was sufficiently startling.
To have the warrior. in place of scalp
ing hial, csH him by name and then
ask synaI,ssfs ett;;sally for college asso-
ciatta seemed nothing less than mir
aele. professor was fairly petrifed
with establishment.
But il was a miracle that was easily
explained. Tho Indian had been sent
east during boyhood to be educated and
.>aad been befriended and instructed by
Professor Hadley's father When his
education was completed, he had parted
pleasantly from the Hadley household
and had returned to his tribe in the res
ervation
Instead of profting by his lessons and
experiences of civilization, he had grad
TALLY been overpowered by tribal pride,
aboriginal instincts and the irresistible
destinations of wild life and warpaint
BE had disappointed the expectations of
the missionaries by reyerting to savage
conditions
Nevertheless he paid civilization the
compliment of respecting academic as
sociations. He did not scalp Professor
4 Marsh, but sat down on the rocks and
had a pleasant chat with him. He even
made AN attempt to interest himself in
some of the bones which the naturalist
/ had exhumed. And when he remounted
his pony he sent his kindest regards to
! the Hadleys. "-Youth's Companion.
