"Yet IL seems that You could com.
mand her 10 break her plighted troth
for your sake, oh. most honorable white
man, said Zibalbay with bitter laugh.
''Hearken, friend Ignatio. for you at
least are not in love, tell your brother
there and this rebellious girl which
way their duty lies"
"Zibalbay.T said. II cannot plead
your cause and mine, though not TO do
so be our destruction, seeing that |
have sworn that come what may vii;
not stand between these two. To-day,
for the second time in my life, my plans
are brought TO nothing by the passion
of woman. Well, 30 II Is fated, and
10 let IL be-"
Zibalbay did not answer me, but,
turning TO the senior. said:
Twill you still cling TO your purpose,
white man. and take advantage OF my
daughters madness? If SO. know that
your triumph shall be short, for when,
in some few hours, TilSal comes again,
will tell him all and give you over 10
his kee ping to deal with as he wishes
Answer, then, and for the last time.
Do you choose life or death?"
II choose death, he answered, bold
ly, ''if the price of life be the breaking
OF my troth and the surrender of my
bride to another man. III Ignatio here
cannot forget his oath, how much less
can forget mine which / have sworn
with this lady? Therefore, till the
Lady Maya renounces me, for COON or
evil, In death or in life, will cleave TO
her"
And in death or in life viii cleave
to you, beloved" she said. "Take such
vengeance as you wish upon us, my
father, yes, AZ you wish. give over this
man to whom my heart drew me across
the mountains and the desert, TO die az
the hands OF Tilxal, but know that he
will hold me faster dead than he did
while he was alive, for into the valley
OF death shall follow him swiftly"
Now at last the rage of Zibalbay
broke loose, and IL was terrible. Rising
from his seat he shook his clenchcd
hands above his daughters head and
cursed her, till in her fear she shranlS
away from him to her lovers breast.
'As with my last breath he cried,
81 pray that the curse OF your gods, of
your country, of your ancestors, and of
me, your father, may rest upon you
and your children; may your desire
turn 20 ashes in your mouth, and may
death rob you OF its fruit; may your
heart break by inches for remorse and
sorrow and your name become kissing
and n shame -"
He paused, gasping for breath, and
Maya fell at his knees sobbing; "Ohl
father, unsay those words and spare
me. Have you no pity for a woman S
hearth"
"Ahi" he said. $50 much pity as You
have for my sorrows and gray hair.
Why should i spare You, girl, who have
not spared your father? My curse is
spoken, and l will add this 20 il, that IL

me of your duty and your love"
Then he suddenly ceased speaking,
his eyes grew empty, he stretched out
his arms and fell heavily to the floor.

How Indians from the West Were Mys.A-
fed by tho Telephone.
Maj. Pollock, who was superintendent
of free delivery in the post Office depart
ment under the last administration,
was for some time stationed on the
frontier as an Indian agent, and was
well and fayorably known to many OF
the principal chiefs among the red men
Whenever they sent delegates to Wash
ington 10 have pow-wow with the
great father the major was sure TO BE-
visited by them, and they came some
times in crowds.
On one occasion. while the Indians
were making n call on the major. hc
went TO the telephone in another room
and called up the Indian Office. When
his call was answered he said;
Tell Frank TO come 10 the phone"
Frank was n half-breed, employed in
the Indian Office.
"Hello, Frank" said the major.
''Hold the phone minute. Your uncle
is here and wants to talk with you"
Then he went into his Office and lei
one of the chiefs to the telephone.
Want 20 talk 10 Franh?" said the
major, placing the transmitter IN the
chiefs hand.
After many grunts aud suspicious
chances at the mysterious continuance,
the little ear trumpet was finally held
to the chiefs car and the major said:
"Now, go ahead, Frank"
A grin spread over the Indians face
and he dropped the transmitter. After
trying in vain TO look behind the in
strument he stuck his head out of the
window and looked around. Then with
n bewildered look he ran 20 the door
and looked up and down the corridor.
The major explained TO him that
Frank was uptown in another building,
but the chief wasn't convinced, and
called another Indian. While the see
ond Indian was listening the first chief
watched the majors lips closely, evil
IDENTITY suspecting some trick Of ven
triloquism.
"Ughl" gruntcd the second chief. as
he dropped the transmitter and looked
under a desk and out OF a window.
The major couldn't satisfactorily ex-
plain the matter TO the chiefs, and
finally was forced TO put on his hat and
take them over 90 the Indian Office.
