docile of the Inhabitants. Yet she
threw herself into the swiftly rushing
current of the Colorado river and her
body drifted out to the sea- Cochita
had history, which, in the hands OF
a Dumas, might be the ground work of
startling romance. But she was
only an Indian, or, rather, Mexican
girl, and had no chroniclers to tell of
her sorrows. She was captured with
a band Of the hostiles who were
rounded up In the regions adjacent to
the Grand canon after weeks Of hard
riding and difficulty.
Away down in the state of Sinaloa,
Mexico, years ago dwelt ranchman
with his wife and family of little ones.
He was man of means and the chill
dren, as soon as they reached the
proper age, were sent to the converts
for the education needed to retain their
position In that half-civilized world.
One night the Neviches swept down
on that hacienda and when the light Of
the new day came there was nothing
left but the smoking ruins and the
mutilated bodies of the once happy
family to mark the place where the
home had stood. One little girl, then
but a baby, was not killed, because a
squaw took fancy to her. She was
made a prisoner and carried away
north with the rest of the plumber.
She was CochIta. Her proper name was
lost and she was called after the fam
Gus chief who devastated the south
west until his age compelled him to
surrender the reins of government to
his nephew.
1t was busy time at the post in the
center Of Arizona when word was re-
ceived that band of the savages was
out mixing war medicine with all the
| whites who crossed their trail. Cap
tain Holbrook was ordered to take the
! held with his own, A troop, and K
troop OF his regiment to corral the hos
tiles or die in the attempt. He had
the two troops and a couple of Shoot
ing wagons" as the Indians called the
field guns. Out from the little post
marched the detachment. Over the
hills the scouts pushed their way. Into
the dark recesses of the San Francisco
forest the little column forced it's path,
trimming the trees and cutting away
the underbrush in the swift march on
the trail Of those Indians. 1t was not
many days until the captain saw that
he must have a. detachment Of his peo-
pie sent forward to keep peace with

but see that she is not harmed. don't
believe she is an Indian"
Back to Whipple the girl was taken.
1t soon developed that she was not an
Indian, but a Mexican. The wife of
the doctor took a great fancy to CO.
chlta, and the girl was turned over to
her. The girl, then not to exceed 16
years, was moody and restless and for
long time refused to talk of anything.
Later on the girl was seen again by
one OF the suba.terns who was with
the detachment over the lava beds. She
was then at Yuma, where Doctor Hard
Ing was on station. She kept close to
the garrison Tor most part, but all eff
forts to engage her in conversation
failed.
One morning Cochita was missing.
She had been more than usually moody
the day before, but as she never left
the post nothing was thought of it. The
post was searched thoroughly, but no
trace Of the missing girl could be found.
Then the troops, mounted and on foot,
stationed at Yuma were sent out to
search for the poor girl. For a long
time nobody saw anything of her, but
as one of tie troopers was riding up
the slopes of the hills which soon be-
came the grand canon of the Colorado
he observed the figure of the girl,
dressed all in white, standing on rock
overlooking the yellow, turbid, but
rapidly rushing flood of water below.
AS he drew near he heard soft voice
singing song. 1t was the death Ia
ment of the Neviches. Cochita was
mourning her lover before joining him
In the happy hunting grounds. She
sang softly and then the voice rose
with wall which halted the soldier.
Then he advanced quietly, for he knew
what was coming and hoped to be able
to reach her b. fore she threw herself
into the stream. She tossed her arms
over her head, pulled her garments
about her arms, and wept for time.
Then as the soldier reached out to
clasp her in his arms she suddenly
turned toward him, shrieked wildly
and fell from the rock into the river.
All that was possible was done to
recover the body, but everything which
goes into the Colorado stays, and poor
Cochita reposes somewhere in the
broad Pacific.

ambitious to push business; yet, if this
time is correct, you have no constitu-

Disgusting Scotch Fashion.

A new fashion has arisen in Scotch
country houses during the last few
years. All sporting men like porridge
for breakfast. Now, it is not a pretty
spectacle to see mustached and bearded
men eat porridge and cream, SO now
that delectable compound is placed up
on side table behind a screen or in
little ante-room and when the lords
of creation stroll down on a Sunday or
rush down on week day to breakfast,
according to up-to-date etiquette, they
eat their first breakfast course stand

of the Russian habit of eating zakouska
