A GIRL AND A DOLL
How Little Child and Her Baby
 Averted War.

A band of Apache Indians who had been forced by the government upon a reserve, rebelled and refused to stay any longer in the place assigned them.
 They scattered over Arizona and were quite troublesome and dangerous, threat ening war continually. MT. Bourke and General Crooke did not want to kill the poor Indians, but saw no way to avert a bloody war.
 A little girl and a doll helped them out of the trouble, and prevented that which the wise men could not have done
 It was this way. The soldiers one day captured tiny little Indian girl who had strayed away from her friends. They car red her to the fort and kept her all day She was dreadfully frightened, poor little creature but said not word until night came; but when it begun to grow dark the papoose wanted her mamma, just as any little white girl would and the little black beads of eyes begun to fill with tears and she begun to sob and cry just as you would have done
 The soldiers felt sorry for the papoose and tried every way to comfort and soothe the little creature, but no one could take it's mammals place.
 Finally MT. Bourke went to the adiu- tdIit Wile anu porroWeu d pretty dOll which belonged to her little daughter. He gave the dolly to the tiny Apache and made he understand it was hers.
 She was so pleased that her tears ceased and, clasping dolly in her arms, she fell asleep For several days she played with the doll. and after to waiting to see if the Indians would make any overtures to have the papoose returned they decided to send her back to her people, and she carried the doll in her arms.
 This created great sensation. and pleas ed all the Indians so very much that they became more friendly at once. The Indian mother came later to the post and brought her babe She was kindly treated and be- came the friend of the whites. Through her the tribe was finally persuaded to move back to the reserve.

Walter could not withstand the temptation. He slyly stopped down and tickeled those cunning little feet. First one and the oth- CT she drew up from his reach, but he would tickle the other as it peeped out from the little mighty. Julia could not remember what came next and. audibly she continued. " scuse me God till get up and hit this bad boy Suiting the action to the word, she hastily jumped up and proceeded to beat the young man on the back with her little fist till he was fain to cry for quar- ter.
 They laughed so heartily at her that her mamma had to take the little woman in the tent that she might finish her devo- tions in the proper spirit
 Then the story begun. Fred said, "Frank you rascal, you have done nothing all day but nurse that arm; you shall tell the first story. Go ahead. we'll listen."
 'I am no hand to narrate thrilling cpl sodes; but I am such an unfortunate fe- low perhaps it may interest you to know to what I attribute my bad luck"
 'Yes, yes, let us have it.
 "Well, you sec" begun Fred who occu- pied the only chair except Aunt Nan, ''that l made my appearance in this world so far back that I can't remember clearly just how the event that started me to wrong way on my career occurred. but I have heard from others all about the occurrence so often that I can vouch for its truthful ness.

Thrilling Adventures Of S S H Summers Camp
IWVO oUWV
CHAPTER III.

Supper on a camp is of all meals or lunches the most enjoyable" Every one had expressed himself as agreeing to the statement made by George, and were now resting in the twilight after heartily par ticipating in the evening meal. Their appe- tites sharpened by the novelty Of beang served under the branches of trees instead of within the four walls of dining room were satisfied.
 Daylight disappearing, the tired boys had grown more quiet as they sat or reclined about the doors of the tents and watched the "for-get-me me-nots of the angels" as they blossomed "silently one by one in the in- finite meadows of heaven" and listened to the innumerable voices of the night. the music of which seemed to intensity the stiffness of the spot
 The katy-did's note the crcket's shrill chirrup the hoarse chorus of the frogs. and the doleful cry of the hoot-owl: the distant murmur of the river winding its way along. all were intensified by the dark ness: and the celestial symphonies" of the wind soaring among the branches of the trees seemed to speak to them of the lone liness and isolation of their resort.
 Ned and Jack woald have been very glad to walk into the bright, eozy sitting room at home to see mamma, and no doubt the larger boys. had they been willing to con- fess 1t. felt the same touch of home sick ness, but 1t would never do to let any one know about that. 1
 However. all were very still till Aunt Nan. who had been busy making the rough beds more comfortable, came out among them. She observed at once the abomniable state of quiet that pervaded and guessed the home sickness but she was a judicious friend, and by no hint intimated her sus- picion She merely spoke in a cheerful voice, "Well, boys. what about the camp fire? All ready to light up? You look too dismal for anything"
 The boys at once began to arrange the fire and then the fun begun
 First Little Julia, still hugging her doll, came to say her prays and kiss her mamma good night. As she knelt in her little white nightgown in the light of the bright fire, she made sweet picture, but a mischiev- ous boy could not sit still long enough to feel very sentimental or admire any pie ture.
 The bottoms of her little pink feet were turned temptingly near Walter and George;

in there two hours sooner than it does out side. While we were in there we saw wild wolfe and some men shot at it, but 1t got away. Two miles from the mouth of the canon we came to the foot of the Seven Falls. There are seven distinct falls from height of two hundred and sixteen feet. There are 250 steps up one side of the falls. We climbed them and went to Helen Hunt Jackson's cabin. where she used to write. I don't see why she wanted to go up there to write when she had such nice home in Colorado Springs. Next time we go to Cheyenne mountain we are going to hire burro and go to her grave. If l hadn't written such a long letter I would tell you about the prairie dogs and the coyote. Tomorrow we are going to Cascade Falls to spend the day. Goodbye for this tme JOHN COPELAND.
