Mariposa County, where, because In
these youthful days he was handsome
of face and figure, bold and merry in
his ways, generous and kindly in his
disposition, he soon became favorite
in the different mining camps which he
visited. The fact that soon after his
arrival in that region he took up
with a young Indian girl, after the
careless andirreSponsible fashion which
of the white gold-Seekers, did not at
all detract from his popularity.
Wherever John Hite went in those
days his young squaw went with him.
Across mountains, down gloomy can
yons, through almost impossible for
ests, in sun and storm, silently and pa
tlently she followed him, with no
thought of deserted relatives or

"Dig there" she said authoritativelv,
pointing to a certain spot. My fathers

Hite obeyed her. and although his
faith was weak his blows were strong.
The Indian wife crouched beside him as
he worked, and when he paused, after
a few strokes with his pick, and, lean
ing on it's handle. looked at her doubt
fully, she pointed again to the spot,

rock, and said again, Dig

up all his business outside Mariposa
in such a way that he need never leave
her for one of these long trips, during
which she felt so lonely, again.
Il am growing old, he said, and
want to come home and stay, and
spend my last days here quietly with
YOU After / come back this time we
will have nothing to trouble or sepa-
rate US hereafter"
So he went away and Lucy waited
patiently and hopefully at home. At

his return and plan his welcome, but

the absent Hite.
The shock did not kill her; she had

For the first time in her life she began

her the Indian marriage which Hite
had repudiated after more than score
of years was sacred, and had given her

Her self sacrificing, kindly, blameless

sent of Hite, who. though very
wealthy, knew well the uncer
tainties of mining life and property.
the ranch on which they lived was
made a homestead that Lucy might be
always sure of a home, and Hite stock
ed it with horses and cattle.
AS for Lucy, she was utterly devoted
to him, and was never happy unless
in his presence. She was his constant
companion and helper, riding beside
him along the lonely trails which led
from mine to mine and camp to camp;
walking beside him when he made the
rounds of his duties near at hand
When there was a cleanup" at the
Hite mine she helped him carry the
gold to their house and guard it until
it could be taken to town.
Three times in those years she stood
between the man she loved and his
death by an assassin's hand, and saved
his life at the risk of her own, and
then-well, a savage woman who
spends her life in caring for another
instead of herself, who knows none of
the secrets of my lady's toilet table,
and In the line of what she thinks her
duty exposes herself to sun and storm
and heat and cold without thought
of unbeautifying consequences, is apt
to lose her youthful graceS of form
and face, and grow brown, and wrin-
kled, and old looking in a score Of
years. And there are always young
and pretty women who are glad to
smile on millionaires, even If they have
Indian wives at home, who are wear
ing out their lives in their service; and
a young and pretty white woman, who
wears dainty garments daintily, is
fitted to shine in society, and knows
how to fiatter an old man into think
ing himself a dashing young beau
again, is far more fascinating
companion than a middle-aged squaw
who has grown a trifie careless in her
dress, and has scarcely more than one
idea in the world, and that is to be
the willing slave of a man who no
longer appreciates the constant, I'M
selfish service of her loyal heart.
One day, now nearly four years ago,
Hite announced that he must go away.
BY this time his interests were wide
spread; he had property in different
parts of the coast and also in Mexico,
and he was accustomed to leave home
frequently to attend to affairs else
where.
This time, with refinement of
cruelty which made his victims sorrow
more cruelty keen in the after days,
he told Lucy that he intended settling

Hite mine of Mariposa County was dis
covered and John, Hite was started far
along the road which has led him to the
enviable position of millionaire.
The companion of his long jaunts and
founder of his fortune did not live long
to share the wealth which she had be-
slowed, for in less than two years she
died, and was laid to rest on the hill
side overlooking the mine which had
been brought to light through her in

was not ungrateful, for he erected to

was father of another daughter,
younger and fairer than she who had
first attracted the miners favorable
notice and in very short time he per-
suaded the girl to take the place left
vacant in his heart and life by the
death of her gentle sister.
The girl Lucy was extraordinarily
handsome for one Of her race, and her
lot had been an unusually fortunate
one, for she had been the favorite Child
of her grim old father, and little II

had fallen to her share.
Taken altogether her beauty was re-

John Hite, who had seemed to his first
helpmeet rather more like master
though a kind one-than lover. fell
passionately in love with this younger
sister who was so greatly her superior,
and the superior of her tribeswomen
in appearance and intelligence. Hite
himself had reached the age of 40 by
this time, but he was still handsome,
dashing, light hearted and kindly.
Hite built fine house, the finest In
the county at the time, situated about
twenty-five miles from the county seat
in one of the loveliest spots of pictur-

TO her. and she never dreamed that
there could be aught of offenSe to any
one in her quiet and home-centered life.
Civilization, however, f1ourished apace
in Mariposa, and civilization brings
with it everywhere certain rules and
regulations the breaking of which en-
tails at least mild Reproduction upon the
offender. While white men alone ruled
the hills and canyons, and formed the
population of the mining camps, they
had never, though perfectly conversant
with the facts of the case, felt it neceS-
Sary to interfere in any way, and had
never betrayed to Lucy that her posi-
ton in their little world was not an
honorable and an honored one.
To mind ones own affairs strictly is a
lesson which men, thrown heterogene-
ously together in new localities and
rough surroundings, either learn quick
ly and we'll. or suffer for not learning
Women however, are different
So it was that with the advent of
white women poor Lucy discovered to
her horror what kind OF lie she was
living, and that she was mourning the
scorn of responsibility, and the Ger
tainty of future eternal punishment for
herself and her companion in tniQuity.
Too much frightened and shocked by
these revelations to even wait to dis
cuSS the matter with Hlte, who was
absent on business at the time, Lucy
did the only thing which seemed right
and possible to her in the light of the
knowledge which had ruined all her
happiness. She turned her back on all
that she held dear and f1ed-where to,
no one knows.
When Hite came home he found the
house deserted and frantic with grief
began a search for the lost one, which
extended through many weary weeks.
Then he learned that she was under
the protection of some relatives in an
other part of the county, but plead as
he might and did in his heart broken
messages, she steadfastly refused to
return to her old home or even to see
him.
At last, however when he threatened
that he would not even try to live
without her, her wOman's heart re-
Tented and she sent him this brief
word: 1--WE have done wrong. Make
the future right and 1 will come back "
So it was he consented to make
amends for the past by marrying her
in the proper Indian form.
Under the circumstances she did not
desire to have a public wedding or any
celebration which would point out the
errors of the past.
To typify the old custom of pursuit
and capture Hite caught her about the
waist and pulled her down upon his
knee, and holding her firmly but gently
said, so that all around might hear, the
magic words quoted, "Cunny ohak
meek" you are my wife" That brief
sentence brought happiness once again
into the Indian girls life.
That was early in the '70's, and for
twenty-three years John and Lucy
Hite lived together in apparent happi-
ness and content. With the con-

~ twenty-five years ago, spoken

learned to love better than life itself,
they sounded almost like heavens own

Indian woman of Mariposa County.

mental suffering which had accom-

right and wrong, as right and wrong

sisters.
Away back in 1861 John Hite, a young
Virginian of good family but of reck-
less habits, resolved to make a radical
change in his mode of existence and
strike out boldly for himself. 1t has
been said, for John Hite was ardent
and susceptible even in the days of the
