Kazil, touched him on the shoulder
and then, lifting the flowing sleeves
which concealed his muscular arm. he
showed some strange characters, deep
" imprinted in blue lines in the
bronZed flesh.
The boy, glancing at this mark, made
a feeble movement of mingled fear and
respect, otherwise maintaining his sad
and submissive attitude.
| The man then made toward the trav-
elcr, his naked feet making no sound
upon the flags, and bending over him,
with slow elaboration, he began max
ing above him gestures like mesmeric
passes. The pale head had reappeared
in it's frame amid the shadows, and
followed each movement of the Hindoo
with rapt attention.
Afer the first passes, the sleeper's
breathing became rapid and feverish,
and a series Of slight, nervous shivers
agitated him. The passes continued.
The shiverings ceased, and calm, so
deep that it resembled death rather
than slumber succeeded the moment
airy disturbance. Then the Hindoo
drew from the folds of his girdle
small crystal flask, filed with a blood
red and yet transparent liquor. He
hand, and bathed with it the English
mans temples, whose breathing sud-
denly appeared to cease. This was but
the beginning Of the work.
Approaching the valet, as he had his
master, he repeated the passes and the
application. He returned then to the
Englishman, evidently assured that
nothing could disturb his slumbe1,
since, lifting him in his arms he bore
him upon his brawny shoulders as
easily and with no more effort than as
if his burdens superb and splendid
manhood had dwindled to the proper
tons Of a frail child.
SIS it to death that the sons of Bow
hanie have doomed the stranger?"
asked Kazil, in trembling tones, as the
HindOO passed him with the burden.
The man answered merely by q neg
alive sign, accompanied by strange
smile.
'"There are my orders?" continued the
child.
Eyes"
"What are they?"
"Remain here"
'Until when?'
"Until my return"
(Which will take place."
Tomorrow night"
Kazil extended his arm toward Stop.
''But if he awakens?"
Again a smile crept about the Hin.
DOCS lips-a smile which signifed, ''He
will not awaken"
Gle will live, however, persisted
the child.
Eyes; but his sleep resembles death,
and will last one night and one day
without interruption"
'"The natives who have borne the pa
lanquin have not dared. to cross the
threshold Of the temple, and wait with
out" said Kazil.
Let them wait"
'They have no food"
''Let one go in search Of food and
bring it to them"
81 obey"
sit is WELL"
All this time the Hindoo bore his liv-
ing weight as though unconscious of
any tax upon his strength, and now,
still bearing it, disappeared in the
black space; the flag stone appraised,
readjusted itself, the pale head disap-
peared from the opening beyond, the
bas-relief, representing the sixteenth
incarnation Of the god Vishnu, glided
back into it's place, and profound and
unbroken silence reigned in the cham
Der sacred to the god, where Kazil
alone walked and watched, and Stop,
the valet, slept.

FIRST WEDDING IN alaska.
Knot Tied to Rhyme by Ready
But Rough ParSOn.

Wild and romantic as any high
land legend or border story is the
account of the first contract mar
riage in the interior of Alaska, as
narrated by windy Jim" Dodson,
who was present and witnessed the
unique ceremony
IT. was on the banks of the Dali
river, a small stream which flows
Unto the Yukon near Fort Hamln.
\ young man, ellis by name, ac
companicd by Aggie Dalton charm
ing maiden with whom he was in
| love, had set out for the mouth of
/ Dali river to go across the noun
famous divide into the Koyukuk
valley. As they started up the Dali
they met Dodson, and in the course
of the conversation it developed that
the young people were anxious to
get married, but in that wilderness
there was small chance of finding
either priest or magistrate to per-
form the ceremony.
II know man who can tie the
| knot, " said Dodson, ''and he lives
only few miles from here. His
name is Joe Durant, but everybody
knows him by the nickname of
:. French Joe. y
To yearning hearts and youthful
! vigor u few miles in that vast soli-
tudc was as nothing, and they were
soon at Durant's place. Dodson
went with them as guide and wiz
ness. The spot was one Just fit for
such romantic nuptials. 1t was on
a wild, mountainous slope, by the
side of lake, and under the shelter
of Il friendly tree whose evergreen
branches defied the chill November
winds.
Durant gladly agreed to perform
! the pleasant task, but as he had no
law form or church ritual at hand,
he devised form of his own, and
put it into rhyme, having the bride
and groom each repeat four lines
after him.
The bride repeated the following:
Ten miles from the Yukon, on the banks of
this lake,
For n partner to Koyukuk ellis take,
We have no preacher we have no ring;
That makes no difference, it's the same old
thing.
The groom S part was as follows:
swear by my sled pole under this tree
A husband to Aggie always will be;
I'll love and protect her, this maiden so fraI,
From the sour dough'nuts on the Koyukuk
trail.
Durant then tied the knot as fol.
lows:
For two dollars each in chechaco money,
unite this couple In matrimony,
He Is IA rancher, and she is "a teacher,
I'll do up the job as well as preacher.

THE DAMS OF THE ILLINOIS.
Mass Meeting to he Held to Urge the

Immense Damage.

Chicago, June 12.-The business
men and politicians of Chicago are TO
be asked to use their influence with
the government to have the two feder-
al dams across the lower Illinois river
removed before the water from the
sanitary canal is turned into the Des-
PLANES.
\ mass-meeting is to be held at
White Hall, the later part of the
month. and Mayor Carter ii. Harrison,
the trustees of the sanitary district of
Chicago, the members of the sanitary
canal inspection commission and
prominent Chicago business men, are
to be invited to attend. Senator Gull
lom, Senator Mason. Gov. Tanner and
all the congressman whose constitu-
ents are directly interested in the re-
moval of the state and federal dams
are expected to be present.
The mass-meeting is to be called by
the owners of farms in the valleys Of
the lower Illinois, who claim that the
federal dams at La Grange and Ramps
vile, which were built for the purpose
of providing slack water navigation,
have caused loss of $4,000 a year
by holding back flood water until it is
too late to plant corn.
1t is planned to adopt strong Teso-
lutions calling on Gov. Tanner to de-
mand of the federal government the
removal of the dams before the sani-
tarv canal is opened.

Rendezvous.

Casper, Wyo., June 12.-The ''Hole

cifc express at Rock Creek recently

Of the fact that they were closely pur-
sued over plain and mountain, are to
be Systematically hunted to their
death. TO this purpose the several
railroad managers with interests in
this state are organizing posses, and
it expected 200 men win be engaged
in the big man hunt.
Head Money offered.
The state, express and railroad COM
panies have offered an aggregate of
So, 900 each, for the heads of the MEM
bers of the band. In addition to this
head money, in the event of success,
men who are arranging for this chase
will be armed and fed by the corpora
tons and big cattle companies of this
section during the time they are en-
gagged.
A Typical Band of Rough Riders.
Thus they are enabled to enlist a
typical band of rough riders, and ev-
cry man of them a dead shot. Many
of them are cowboys, others are old
frontiersmen who have fought In
dians in the same territory over which
they will now pursue the bandits, and
of the big corporations.
To be Sworn in as Deputies.
The various bands of man hunters
will be accompanied by Indian trailers,
bloodhounds and pack trains. The men
are all to be sworn i'll as deputy
sheriffs, and will be in charge of the
officers of the several counties in north
western Wyoming.
GatcNvays to the ''HOIc in the Wall"
There are paths over thegranite wall
for men, but not for beasts. Leading
in from Montana there are two or
three obscure routes that eventually
enable one to reach the rendezvous of
the outlaws, but they are known to
but few traiIers and Indian fighters.
The man hunters IN this case, how
ever, who have been hired for an in
definite periOr, will avail of the known
trails, and the end of the outlaw reign
in the ''Hole-in-the-Wall'' country is
believed to be near.
A Whole Nest of Criminals.
The six road agents who looted the
Union Pacific express box will not
oppose this army of allies alone. IT
1t is estimated that at least so men on
whose heads there are prices set and
who are wanted in many states are to
be found hiding there. Some of them
are following the peaceful pursuits of
farmers and ranchers, and only seek
to hide their identity. Many of these
are convicted criminals and some of
them are under the sentence of the
death. 1t is commonly stated that
Bob Taylor, the condemned Missouri
murderer, is living there, herding cat
tie for another murderer-George
Balke-whe killed his wife at Chey-
enne.

A DEATH-DEALING TORNADO.
Death and Terrible Havoc MarI< the
Track of An Iowa Cyclone
Yesterday.

Sioux City, Ia, June IA tornado
struck 10 miles south Of here near the
town of Salix, Ia, about four o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The storm did
not cover a large territory, but caused
death and terrible havoc wherever the
funnel-shaped cloud touched the earth.
The first house struck was that of
John Malloy. The family, consisting
of father, mother and eight children,
had gone into the cellar when the sky
grew dark, but after remaining there
few moments came to the conclusion
that it was only thunderstorm, and
started upstairs again, just as the
cloud struck the house, completely de-
inOlishing it. Malloy and his wife,
Kate, were instantly killed. Harry
Malloy, 16 years old, was terribly in
jured, and died IN a few hours. Tom
Malloy, aged 10, was badly mangled
and will probably die.
The house of Mrs. Cora Hassell. n
widow, was next in the storms path,
and was blown into hundreds ofpieces.
The family had entered the cellar and
escaped.
The homes of Phil Berger, Joe Ber-
nard and Patrick O'Niell were all re-
duced to kindling wood. The occu-
pants, it is reported, all escaped seri-
Gus injury. Pat Mdlioy, who was
brought to Sioux City on special
train, tells a graphic story of the
storm.
AT Homer, Neb., across the river, re-
ports of considerable damage by wind
have been received, but no loss of life
has been reported.
At Homer, an Evangelist's tent was
blown down while meeting was in
progress. All escaped injury except
one unknown woman, whom, it is
said, will die. Hailstones as big as
eggs, fell during the storm.
