of my Indian blood?'
The interview between the two lovers
took place on a Saturday evening.
At church the next morning the organ
was silent, and the hymns were without
the inspiration of Blanche Brooke's
voice. She was absent for the first time
in three years from service in the little
white chapel on the hill. AndGn that
hour she plunged into her breast the dag

played in innocent, joyous childhood.

TRAGIC ROMANCE.
Strange Story OF Blanche Brooke and
John FORESTER.

John FORESTER.
A strange story of love and death
comes from Oklahoma Territory. Beau
tiful Blanche Brooke had the blood Of
the Arapahoe Indians in her veins. She
was tde daughter Of Ulatoa, a quarter
blood" chief Of the tribe IN Oklahoma
Territory. The Rev. John Forester
came to the territory as a missionary.
His work was successful, and he won the
confidence of the Indians. A year pass
ed. The young people met daily. Their
admiration for each other began to reveal
itself in various little ways. Their neigh
bors and friends gossiped pleasantly
about a probable engagement. 1t was
certainly a most suitable match. Its con-
summation was doubtless only a question
Of time.
But the predictions of the people did
not come true. No engagement was an
nounced. Time went on until another
year had elapsed.
Everybody wondered and whispered
their wonder, and sometimes the whis-
pers reached the ears of those most con-
cerned-the principals in this romance
which was to become a terrible tragedy.
The people of the community gradually
grew impatient. They were not ceus-
toned to mysteries. They questioned
each other, and doubt began to replace
their confidence in the integrity of the
young minister with the scholarly face
and blue gray eyes.
One moonlight night the pastor and the
chiefs daughter were passed by a neigh
Dor. They walked slowly and were SO
engaged in conversation that they did not

THE DEPTHS OF 4

-uW@-
/ Scientists to Drag the Oceans 4
Caves For Unknown Sen g
I Monsters.

A shipload of scientists is to sail from
San Francisco in about a month for the
purpose of exploring the unknown depths
of the Pacific ocean. This expedition is
being fitted out by the United States fish
commission. The practical results may
possibly be few, but it is expected that
from a scientific standpoint the research
es made will be exceedingly valuable.
Recent sonndings in the southern Pa
cific have shown that there are holes in
the bed of that big ocean more than five
miles deep. 1t is almost impossible to
realize this fact. The tallest of the
earth's mountain peaks could be dropped
into these holes and hidden forever.
What kind of creatures, if any at all,
floor: This question the scientists
will try to answer Not that the
learned men intend to dive down
and find out. They will make their
investigations safely from the deck by
the aid of deep sea drag nets and sound
ings.
From the bed of the ocean, three miles
down, animal life has been brought to
the surface. In form, structure and gem
eral appearance the creatures thus
caught were totally unlike anything ever
before seen by man. They were mon
sters, the most of which were as strange
and uncanny as any exaggerated picture
ever drawn of the antediluvian jewellers
ON the earth's surface, and as frightfu1
in appearance as the creature of a night
mare.
1t is true that few of those that have
been brought from these depths were Of
great size; but that creatures of greater
size have not been brought out OF the
deep has been considered due to the
small nets which have been used in
dredging for them, rather than to the abb
sence of the monsters themselves.
The bottom of the ocean presents today
mans greatest field for exploration. OF

land that is covered by water, he knows

Two Chlldrea Devoured before the
Eyes of Their Parents.

The two children Of Paul r. Naegele
were recently deyoured by alligators I'M
der the eyes Of their helpless parents.
Naegele and his family encamped on the
bank Of a bayou or lagoon running out
from the shore Of Espontos lake, in Di-
mitt county, Tex.
This lake, says the San Francisco Ex-
aminer, though far inland, is alive with
alligators. At certain times of the day
they cover the banks so thiekly that one
can hardly see the mud. Their horrible
kissing fills the air, and the odor of musk
which arises from them is so strong that
one can. smell it three miles.
Naegele had been warned not to camp
80 near the lake, but he did not under
stand the danger and ignored the warn
ing.
During the night he was aroused by
the restlessness of his horses, who were
straining at the ropes in such a way that
they threatened at every moment to
break loose. He went out to see what
was the matter, and, thinking some wild
animal might be worrying them, he took
an ak. AS he came near the horses he
stepped on what seemed to be a long log
Of wood. 1t squiTmed beneath him, and
in another minute the jaws of a gigantic
alligator snapped at him.. He struck at
it with all his might with his ak and hit
it between the eyes, stunning it for a
time.
At this moment he heard a shrek from
his wife. Leaving the alligator he had
encountered, he ran to her assistance.
When he reached her, he found that an
other enormous alligator had seized their
eldest child, a girl of 4 years, and was
moving away with its victim in it's jaws.
The woman, who was uSarmed, wac
tearing at the eyes of the alligator with
her bare fingers, showing the rantic
courage of a mother threatened with the
loss of her child. The reptile moved
away without paying any attention to
her struggles. Naegele attacked this al
ligator with his ak, as he had done the
other, but this time he did not ave the
same success. His first blow fell on the
enormous thick scales on the back of the
animal, which remained absolutely unin-
jured. Naegele redoubled his blows, and
the alligator knocked him down with a
swish of its tail and ~momentafily stunned
him.
At the same time a second horror was
taking place. When the alligator seized
the 4-year-old girl, the mother dropped
the-baby she had in her arms in order to
rescue the child who was being carried
away. No sooner had she done this than
