the throat with a clutch that closed his
breathing and rendered his resistance
weaker and weaker until he lapsed into
Inconsistencies As soon as the In
dian became insensible, Logston re-
leased his hold upon his throat, and
running to where the tomahawk lay,
he picked it up and returning to the
side of the savage, who had partly
regained his senses he Glove his skull
with the weapon. then turned his at
tention to the crippled warrior. whose
cry of despair as he witnessed the
death of his companion had reached
the ear of the victorious hunter and re-
called his presence.
The unfortunate savage had crawled
to a log, against which he had rested
and reloaded his gun, but his broken
back would not permit him to rise, and
as he would raise his weapon to shoot
he would topple forward on his face,
and could only raise himself again by
pushing the gun to the ground, and
pressing himself against it Seeing
that the wounded savage was almost
helpless and unable to escape, and not
caring To run any risk of being shot by
q cripple, the wearied hunter FASTENED
back to the fort and told his story.
Covered with blood and dirt, his ap-
pearance gave some indication of the
severe contest he had passed through.
The following morning posse of men
from the fort were piloted by the un-
fortunate hunter TO the scene of his
battle. The corpse of the Indian giant
lay where he had succumbed to his
fate. But the crippled Indian was no.
where to be seen. A trail was dis.
covered made by the broken-backed
savage. who had dragged himself some
distance through the woods, and, fol-
lowing its course. the white men came
to where he lay dead, with his knife
sticking up to his hilt in the breast.
The unfortunate warrior, finding
that the nature of his wound rendered
it impossible for him to reach his own
people, had, after enduring untold
agony in crawling several miles
over a rough and uneven route. con-
cluded to end his misery by plung.
ing his knife into his own heart.

inform members of his tribe that he
had taken his own life in preference to
surrendering it to the hated enemy,
when hope had gone out in the dark
ness of despair, suicide under such cir
cumstances being regarded by some
Indians as a triumph over their foes
and an act of daring heroism. The
tree was ever afterward known as the
"Old Indian Tree"
The long distance travelled by the
desperate savage in his despairing and
crippled condition disclosed the won

gong on in the interior OF the diamond
region. Every avenue is guarded by
detectives, and stranger caught
lettering about in the neighborhood is
liable to be sent to Cape Town for five
TO fifteen years on the charge of buy
ing stolen diamonds.
The trade in stolen diamonds became
so heavy a few years ago that the own
ers OF the mines organized to drive the
traders out of the country. The de-
vices for concealing and carrying the
diamonds out of the mines were re-
markable for their ingenuity and their
success The law of the Dutch repub-
lie required that any man charged with
diamond theft or purchasing stolen
gems should have the privilege of a
trial by jury. As the majority of the
jurors were generally engaged in the
same shady transaction the convictions
were very few and far between, and
the country swarmed with diamond
buyers. Fortunes made on the outside
were larger than those made on the in
side. The mine owners bought up the
legislators and q law was passed re-
quiring all diamond cases to be heard
before three judges who were given
the power to send the guilty men to
breakwater at Cape Town for a long
period of years.
The law has worked like charm.
The judges are said to be absolutely
unapproachable from the standpoint of
the diamond buyer, and long process
sion of disappointed spectators has
been marched off to the south, SO
that there are now not less than
one thousand convicts from the dia-
mond region piling up stones to hold
back the ocean at Cape Town. Mr..
Hale says it is the most disheartened
body of men he ever saw, many of
them being possessors of large for
tunes. The edict has gone out against
the diamond buyer and he was prac-
tically not in the field this year in
south Africa.
OF course the European syndicate is
correspondingly happy, and the dia-
mond trust regulates the output at it's
will. Merchants and dealers at Kim
berly are ON the verge of bankruptcy,
as they are under the eyes of the paid
detectives every hour and their books
are regularly inspected by officials Of
the government who are working in
the interest of the European mine own
ers. The glory of Kimberly has de-
parted, and the money which once
went into the capacious pockets of the
merchants now goes to enrich the gild-
ed palaces Of the European capitals.
From quiet Investigations which Mr..
Hale made in south Africa he is of the
opinion that diamonds are so plentiful
in the district that everybody could
wear sparklers if the mines were
opened to their full capacity

penter attempting to build house,
that it is doubtful if the business men
of the country will ever venture with

ward builder might construct a house
