MARRY WHEN THEY PLEASE.

Western Indians Take New Wires When
They Get Tired Of tho Old Ones.
Capt. L. F. Burnett, Seventh cavalry,
acting Indian agent at Mescalero, N.
NJ, in recent report to Commissioner
Browning sums up an evil which is
found to prevail to a greater or less ex-
tent among all western Indians, and
more especially among those in q saw
age state, He says:
Another cause of much trouble on
this reservation is the frequent mar
riages among the Indians. 1t often
happens that man Will get tired of his
wife after few months and will then
leave her or send her home to her rela-
tives. This may occur several times
with the same persons, so that a man
may have three or four wives and the
woman as many husbands all living.
Sometimes the husband illtrcats his
wife and she runs away to her parents.
They often make up and live together
again. Several cases have occurred
during the last year where parents
have induced man to marry their girl,
aged perhaps not over thirteen or four
teen years, for the sole purpose of
keeping her out Of school. 1t usually
happens that the parties soon separate,
the girl returning to her parents, often
against the wishes of her husband.
This causes serious qnarrels. l do all
/ can to induce these persons to live to-
gether when once they are married,
but there is no way Of compelling them
to do 30. Polygamy is practiced to
some extent. Twelve Indiaus have
each two wives and one has three

eoTToMLEsS CAVE IN INDIANA.

a Peculiar DiscoveEy Recently Asde by
C"ntrsctors Digging Gas Well.
A cave of enormous proportions has
been discovered in the eastern part of
Delaware county, Ind, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. The discovery was q
very peculiar one. Samuel Mcpherson,
. gas-well contractor, had set of men
putting down well near Selma, east
of Muncie. The drill was down about
one hundred feet when it entered space,
much to the amazement of the men at
the top end of the rope. They COM
menced to let out rope, and down, down
went the heavy drill. 1t soon struck
earth again which seemed to be steep,
and the drill slid of to one side and
continued on down at an angle. The
men worked for hours attempting to
penetrate the second earth and con-
tinue down to Trenton rock. The con-
tractor had several sections of pipe
placed together and let down, but they
swung in space. He then tried to par
TALLY fill the hole, which would give
him a base to work on and prevent the
drill from sliding of. Several cords of
wood and a dozen wagon loads of
powders were sent down and COM
pletely lost.
horrible stencil escapes from the
hole, making it almost impossible to
remain near the opening. The suppo-
sition is that there is an extensive
opening some place in that vicinity
and that the cavern is a rendezvous for
vrri11 animals
horses and sheep have mysteriously
disappeared from points in this vicin-
ity, and it is thought that they have
been dragged into this cavern and the
horrible odor comes from their de-
cayed remains. Contractor McPher-
sons men have been working three
days trying to get the drill started in
the bottom of the cavern and they will
probably give up the task. Others who
do not entertain the idea that there is
an extensive opening think that the
cave was retreat for the Indians and
that many relics would be found could
an entrance be made. The cave will
be investigated and, in oil probability,
= hole large enough for the entrance of
a man will be made and the interior
will be visited. Several months ago q
cave similar to this one, except that
the bottom was not slanting, was dis
covered by drillers while putting down
gas well near Bluffton. The drillers
are Of the opinion that the two are
connected, and if so the famous Mann
moth cave OF kentucky will be a minute
affair, the discoveries being made forty
miles apart. One aged farmer says
that he intends selling his farm and
move from that section of the country,
as he fears that in a very short time the
earth will drop and fill up the cavern,
and then their farms will be sea and
they will all be drowned. Many others
are excited in this manner.

Of the Soldiers.
A regular personification of deceased
pensioners has been discovered at the
station of Dapoolie. This is delight
full, healthy place in the district of
Ratnagiri, about five miles from the
sea, at an elevation of six hundred feet.
1t was the residence of veteran sepoys
who had been pensioned after doing
good service in 1878. An anonymous
petition brought to light the distress
ing fact that the pensions had been
drawn long after the decease of the
real incumbents, and that there was.
besides, an original scheme by which
pensions still due to survivors had been
intercepted and were in the main en-
joyed by money lenders in the bazar
and by the native clerks of the depart
ment, says the Saturday Review.
A long Investigation followed. in
which the military authorities were all
but bafflcd. But by the skill of an
Englishman in the ordnance depart
ment and of an intelligent Parsee
books were seized, rolls were inspected,
and it was found that one Tannah,
who had originally been intended for
the army, had been in the habit Of
dressing himself up as pensioner and
drawing the allowances. This enter
prising Individual, from his photo
graph and from the letter press, must
have had lively sense of humor. He
was sagacious enough not to personate
more than two pensioners on the same
day, one in the morning and one in the
evening, except on special occasions,
when he appeared FIVE times.
His military salute was admirably
given and he subsequently related,
with just pride. how he had managed
to draw the allowance of the suhbadar
major and of Sirdar Ramnak Hahadur
for four years. OF course this gifted
actor had got his own commission"
every time. The sharpness Of the
English superintendent in detecting a
serious of interpretations in the native
account-boolzs would have done credit
to the best officers in Scott pnd Yard.

They Include Sword Said to Have Been

The statement that the missing
Ailesbury hcirlooms have been discov-

who do not know of what these family
treasures consist, says the Westminster
budget. Among the principal curiosi-
ties ut Savernake were three ancient
swords, one of which is said to have
belonged to Robert Bruce, king of
Scotland, an ance:' Or of the marquis of

with eaamcled silver m ountings, which
has descended to the Bruce family.
The possession of this horn is said to be
the title under which the wardenship
Of Savcrnake forest is held under q
charter granted by Edward vi. to the
Protector Somerset. The horn is about
two feet long and fifty-three inches in
diameter at the largest end. The en-
ameled silver mountings represent in a
series of compartments the figures of a
king, bishop, huntsman or warden
of the forest, with different animals OF

the keepers of Savcrnake forest that

ouTRAciNo A THOROUGHBRED.

The Man Astride . Tired
Wheel Trinmphs Over . Horse.
The thoroughbred race horse is be-
lieved to be the swiftest animal on the
globe. So when the king of racers, Sal
vator. covered q mile on straight
track at Monmouth park on August %,
1890, in 1:3511z-which is still the record
he probably went the distance in less
than it was ever traversed before or
since by living creature of any kind
moving unaided over the surface of the
earth. Had anyone at that time predict
ed that within five years man on q BIZ
cycle would propel himself over the
same distance on a similar or any other
track in faster time than that OF the
thoroughbred, he would. says Harper's
Weekly. have been considered sonle-
thing more than merely visionary. At
that time the bicyclist was competing
with the trotting horse, but that he
would ever equal the runner was not
dreamed of even by ultra enthusiasts.
And vet this undreamed-of feat has
now been accomplished. Since the adj
vent of the pneumatic-tire wheel with
ball bearings, records have been fall
ing before the bicycle more rapidly
than before the trotter-notwithstan
ing the phenomenal advances of the
latter-until of late several wheelmen
have been going miles below two min
utes, leaving the trotter quite out Of
the race. But no bicyclist has come
within striking distance of the speed
of even an ordinary thoroughbred, un-
til of a sudden professional racing
cyclist, John s. johnson, the western
wonder" took fourteen seconds off the
bicycle record at single clip, and
eclipsed not onlyso;nc but all thorough
breds by riding q mile in 1:35 2-5. The
feat was accomplished over a straight
course at Buffalo, n. Y, October "A.
The pacena!zcrs were four men
mounted on a quadruplet machine.
Thus for the first time in the worlds
history a man has propelled himself
mile purely by muscular exertion
faster than the muscles of any other
living creature ever carr ried it over
the earth's surface. AS triumph of
human development, aided by the in
ventions of human ingenuity, over
mere animal development, this achieve
ment is therefore unique and worthy
of record quite apart from its interest
to the sportsman.

CHAPTER VI
COPYRIGHT 1892
A HERO IN OIL.

She was diverted from her conjec
lures by heavy sigh, which resembled
a groan, behind her. Dolores turned
her head quickly, and discovered hei
grandfather leaning against the door
way, watching her movements in an
attitude SO rigid and threatening, in q
frozen immobility, that she might have
believed him stricken with paralysis
had he not remained in an upright
posture.
"What is the matter, grandpapa?'
she cried in alarm.
The sound of her voice seemed to
loosen the bonds of spell, the silence
imposed by sheer impotent rage on the
benumbed faculties of the old man.
He moved his right hand feebly
and mechanically, his pale features
worked, and his pallid lips twisted
awry as if by a spasm of pain, re
covered the power Of speech sufficient
ly to articulate in agitated tones
"You-you jade? What are you
doing there?"
81 was only busting the portrait,
grandpapa," she replied, relieved to
notice the change in him.
II will teach you, idle hussyl toned
die with my house, " continued the old
man, violent nervous tremor pervad-
ing his frame, while his eyes rolled in
their sockets and flashed ominously.
How often am to warn you not to
touch my things? You have no right
to be here, at all. What are you but a
beggar's brat? I-I-have mind to
drive you off altogether Go, beg your
bread of strangers You are not wanted
here"
He seized her arm, and left the inn
print of his claw-like fingers in bruise
on the soft and shrinking flesh.
Dolores recoiled, with terrified eyes,
and deep flush of shame and anger
mounting to her cheeks. She was be-
wildered and astonished. The act of
cnaning the portrait seemed so slight
an offense that she was amazed at the
anger aroused. If she had not fully
understood the torrent Of reproach
which had gathered in volume on the
lips of her grandfather on the former
occasion, when she had attempted to
bury a broken doll in the garden,
his bitter invectives now reached her
mind with keen force Of comprehen-
sion, wounding deeply her heart
The excitement and wrath of Jacob
Dealtry did not abate during the en-
tire day. The most trihing incident
would arouse fresh paroxysm of
rage, and he would walk away from his
granddaughter as if in the fear of such
propinquity with the object of his dis
pleasure as might lead him to some
act of violence.
Dolores had trembled and wept at
first, troubled by such manifest In
Justice, as well as frightened by the
expression of her grandfather's coun-
tenance. Gradually her tears were
dried in the fever of sullen rebellion;
as, in the depths of her soul, the seeth-
ing passions, prone to swift action,
of her southern temperament became
aroused. The slow hours were torture
to her irritated nerves, and each new
attack of Jacob Dealtry, harping ever
on the same chord of his grievances,
