a tale of Ouida's. Seven years ago
there came to this section of the coun-
try Thomas Dulaine Cronan, a young
lrishman, a stalwart chap, good-look-
ing. well-dressed. well-educated, and
with the manners of a man of the
world. He came over to look after the
interests of an English syndicate with
large holdings near Bismarck.
His ponsor was Moreton Frewen,
the noted English advocate of bimetal-
lism, who visited the United States last
fall TO write of the strenuous cam
paign of the free silver men for the
London Times. Cronan one night
rode into Medora, the town established
by Marquis de Mores, when that
young French nobleman embarked on
his fantastic enterprise of raising cat
tie for the worlds markets, and "a the
same time running the beef monopoly
established and maintained by Chi
Cages Big Four" and found a mob
surrounding the Jail.
The mob was clamoring for the life
Of an Indian who was a prisoner in
the Jail charged with horse stealing.
A plucky little deputy sheriff was on
the steps of the Jail standing off" the
mob by his pistols. Cronan leaped
from his horse, and actunted by a Gu
riosity to see such a wild western
scene as a lynehing, sbouldered MS
way into the mob. While listening to
the imploring speeches of the deputy
sheriff and the threats and curses Of
the crowd of lynchers, he saw an In
dian girl, blanketed and moccasined,
darting hither and thither among the
clamorous throng, frantically and tear.
fully making a plea in Sioux, a tongue
unknown to the terderfoot from Ire
Ianu
Cronan quickly learned that she was
the daughter Of the accused Indian, for
whose life the mob was clamoring.
Struck by her beauty and helplessness,
Cronan forced his way through the
throhg, and, leaping up on the steps
beside the little deputy sheriff, drew his
weapons and added his voice to the
.pleadings of the deputy sheriff. Gro
mans eloquencc. added to the officers,
was effective. and the mob dispersed.
The next day the Indian proved an
nllbl and was released. Cronan sought
ont the Indian girl. the life of whose
father he had been instrumental in
saving. He found her in a miserable
unclean tepee in the Indian camp on
the outskirts Of the town. He fell In
love with her. His love making was
all in the sign language, for Cronan
not speak a word of Sioux, and
Picture Eye was equally ignorant of
English.
Cronan again returned to England,
but not until he he'd made arrange.
ments for Picture Eyes education.
When he saw his bride next he found
her a demnre, pretty, well-dressed,
w~ell-ednrated girl, thoroughly well
able to hold her place in any society.

WOMAN AND HOME.
OSTRlCHES AS PETS.
I'm from south America by an
E~nierprisins irish LADY.

B~nterprisin Irish Lazy.
There was once an astonishing pic
lure by Du Mauricr in Punch, says a
London sketch writer, representing an
| imaginary scene il the London streets
under the auspices OF the Acclimatiza-
ton society. In this, if remember
rightly, a pair OF ostriches were depict
ed as being harnessed and driven dow
~Piccadilly. We have not yet quite az
rived at this pitch Of civilization, though
the zebra has been seen in the park.
However. all Irish lady, Mrs. Willougt.
by Fox, has, during the past few years,
amused herself with importing a few
OF these birds and rearing them in Sur
rey. They have been brought over when
quite young from Bahia Blanca, in La
Plata, wherethere are immense numbers
CT ostriches in a wild state. They are
somewhat smaller than their South
African congeners, and do not produce
such valuable plumes, though they
have a mass of white feathers under
their wings which are used for boas.
Nor do they require the same extern
sive area as the Cape variety, for each
specimen of which the allowance is
said Il be ten acres. Mrs. Fox's birds,
however, are by no means insignificant
fowl, and are not to be confused with
the smaller bird known a. the rhea.
They stand about seven feet in height,
and can run at the rate of 2j miles an
hour, covering a distance of from nine
to eleven feet in their ordinary stride.
Their eggs are OF the capacity of ten
hens eggs, and therefore each one
makes "A very respectable omelette.
The fresh eggs sent over from South
America are quite palatabIe, and by no
means so strong as those from the
Cape. The ostriches were brought
from Bahia Blanca when about six
months old, and apparently have
thriyen in the English climate; at any
rate, they passed safely through the
recent severe winters, being. of course,
sheltered in their stables during frost,
While IN board ship their diet was a
matter of great difficulty, corn having
TO be sown for them in the dark, so
that they might consume the green
shoots.
Once on dry land, however, they re
gain their appetite, and live on pota-
toes, maize and green food of all kinds.
They consume a fair quantity of iron
nails and such uncoHsidered %trifies, and
are not averSe to an occasional nip of
whisky and water. The ostriches do
not attain to maturity till they are
three years old, and, it seems, never
.telllgence, though they have learnt to
answer to their names. and they ex-
hibit a decided temper of their own.

with the hands turned thumbs down

Over and over again the girl prac

became flexible and were ready to take
as naturally as ducks to water. The
exercise was soon followed out with
as little thought as one gives when
walking "leg over leg as the dog went
TO Dover" After all, this is the true Sc.

arms and legs in the water with as lit

is very highly priced indeed, being as
valuable as fine Burmah rubies. There
are also green s%apphires, yellow sap

THRILLING LOVE A .


Recently there was a wedding cere-
mony at Bismarck, n. D., that
was the elimination Of an ex.
traordinarily strange love romance.
Thomas Duiaine Cronnn married Pic
ture Eyes. Cronan is a young Irish
man Of fine family and excellent con-
n%ections in Ireland snd England. Pic
ture Eyes is the daughter of John
Moose, a full-biooded Sioux Indian.
Picture Eyes is a very pretty Indian
maiden. She is now well educated and
her tastes, inclinations and surround
ings are cultured. She is 25 years old,
and as pretty, well-dressed and WELL
groomed a girl as is to be seen shop
ping in Bismarck.

and changed her condition of life, men
