Hobart, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
She lives with her aged father and
mother.
1t came 10 pass in the course of
events and occurrences on the reser-
vatiOn this summer that Paul Eagle
and Jack Bear Robe fell in love with
this woman. Heretofore they had
been the best OF friends. Young
Eagle is an Indian policeman, or was
before his death. She induced him TO
east aside his star and have nothing
more 10 DO with the white people. He
followed her everywhere. He and
Bear Rob came to be enemies of the
worst kind. Hence it was no surprise
when Eagle challenged his former
friend to gamble at monte for the
girl.
Miss Red Buffalo was chosen by
both as dealer, and the game was
drawing card for all the members of
the tribe. \ few white people ven
tured on the gambling ground, but
they were assured that their pres
EIlIE was not uCCutus Inc game Ids u
ed three days, during which time
neither could beat the other so badly
at the game as to win favor in the
eyes of the dealer. She would with
hold her decision when one player
nearly broke" her former friend,
and the same way when the other
succeeded in winning nearly out.
Then, cross from loss of sleep, the
young men agreed to shoot it out.
To this the girl assented cheerfully.
Rifles were chosen, and the young
men stepped back 80 PAGES. At the
word fire, given by the woman, two
shots rang out on the night air.
Eagle fell, pierced by the assassin's
bullet. Bear Robe was arrested and
is now in Jail at Fort Sill It was not

he fought had married him in the
most approved Apache fashion. She

quenched thirst.
just how long he wandered he does
not know, but be-Or night he began
TO get deIirious, and after that he re-
membered nothing, except the hal
lucinations that passed through his
mind before he became unconscious.
He was, oh, so thirsty! It seemed ike
his throat was literally on fire. and he
was aching all over his body. He tried
erevy method he knew of moistening
his throat, but the relief was but tenn
porary. He tore open the cactus
plants and everything that gave prom
ise Of containing the slightest bit Of
moisture, but his thirst seemed 10 be
an ever-increasing one. He could think
of nothing but water.
Finally, as his strength gave way,
pleas SAINT dreams began 10 fit through
his mind. He fancied he saw Niagara
falls and the vastness Of the rapids
below them. Then he seemed to face
the broad expanse of a great fresh
water lake He could not see across
If. 1t looked so cool and refreshing he
could not restrain himself, and waded
into ii clear up to his neck. Then he
fancied he could feel the fish cavorting
about his feet. and everything seemed
so peaceful. He was perfectly happy
and cOntenteG; did not know whether
he was alive or dead. and did not care.
About a week later, when he re-
covered consciousness, he found HIM
self in the camp Of some cattlemen,
who had found him some hours after
he lost track Of himself. His lips
were swollen and full Of cactus thOrns
! where he had chewed up the prickly
pear in his desperate thirst. The cat
| tlemen said that when they found him
/ he was stark naked, doubtless having
/ disrobed and thrown his clothes away
/ when he fancied be was going down
/ into the lake. His fingers were raw
and bleeding from wounds made while
/ digging in the sand for water.
He says that the agony that comes
/ over one when he first begins TO real
ize that he is about to perish for wa
ter is simply indescribable, and il in.
creases every minute till he begins
TO lose consciousness. But when the
body gives up the struggle the mind
seems TO become unnaturally active
in its efforts TO soothe by seemingly
furnishing that for which the body
suffers, and the final hours Of the
thirst victim are hours of sweetest
anticipation.

IN ---l' On TO royalty Black num-
.oeIs 'masy no5lemeu and the heads Of
county families among his patrons.
Last month he CAUGHT no fewer than
$50 rats .n a large country house in
HertfOrd~hire. which, after being long
untenauteG. is now in the hands Of the
decorators for the occupation Of an
American millionaire.
While engaged ID similar work in an
Flizaba-hau mansion down in Dorset
shire Black numbered among his
"catch" several pure white rats.
These he subsequently sold to good
advantage.
The price he generally obtains for
his ~rdeuts varies from one TO two
dollar- per dozen, "au according 10
size and quality" Brown rats are
worth . cents each.
BIack's chief customers are the own
ers of terriers and other dogs with a
partiaGty for rafting. Now and again,
when setting ont for a nights work,
Black is accomplished by young gen
tlemen fond of excitement" who
pay Hbera Lly for The privilege Of 'as-
sisting." Armed .v:th a species of but
terfiy-uet secured at the end of a very
long stick, the rat-catcher seats him
self on a chair in the center of the
apartment under operation" Black
works more bv ear than by eye, for
long practice has given him the faculty
of netting a rat at the first suspicion
of a squeak, although the rodent may
at the time be many feet away. When
once in the tolls the rat is quickly
transferred to a specially constructed
wire cage.
For this Black insists on using his
bare hands, and in consequence he
has been bitten many times-sO many
times, in fact that both his arms and
hands are a mass Of scars. Black al
lsges that he is proof against rat poi
son, for when (as does sometimes hap
pen) his arm swells up after being bit
ten he reduces it in an hour or so by
means of a herbal preparation of his
own.
In addition TO his aristOcratic pa
irons Black is under contract with the
proprietors Of many of the leading
restaurants, shops and theaters TO
keep their premises free from vermin
of every kind.

IN aIight when the train stopped after
running several rods along the ties.
He found that the locomotive had been
thrown from the rails and stood watch
inc the Intellectual efforts Of the train
crew TO place the engine back on the
track. Jackscrews were used, but the
men did not seem to thoroughly under
stand the work.
..Tbat won't do" said Mr.. Hill.

But the men applied the levers

grabbing the screw. he set It at an In
cline to his own satisfaction and after
throwing a little sand on the top and

The trainmen were little dubious
at first, but they applied the levers
and the huge machine slowly lifted

President James j. Hill Showed Rail-
road LabOreFs a Trick of
Their Trade,

One of the most versatile men in the
country is James J. Hill, president Of
the Great Northern railroad. He has
a comprehensive grasp of the details
of railroading that few men possess.
Since he began to pay close attention
10 the financial side of railroading pub
ltcc attention has been somewhat d.
verted from the other phase Of his
MANAGEMENT. An incident that Oc-
CURED recently, however, shows that
Mr.. Hill is as practical as ever. While
on a tour over the Great Northern
road his train, which was going down a

was too fond of the pOliceman's little
daughter. According 70 the patrol
mans story, the pup was taken in
hands by the child when the dog was
but few days old, and the two were
playmates for several years. As the
dog grew older its attachment for the
child became noted in the neighbor-
hood, while its general yiciousness to-
ward everybody else was equally as
well known The little girl would beat
the dog, drag 1t about by the tail, stick
things in its ears and otherwise abuse
1t in all sorts Of ways without a single
growl of protest on the part Of her
canine playmate, but if anyone else
took any liberties with il it was ready
10 spring at him in an instant.
Finally the dog became so jealous of
the child that il would allow no other
children TO play with her, and when
the couple returned from a stroll it
was with difficulty that Mrs. Kidd
could separate them. This state Of af-
fairs was maintained until the father
came TO the conclusion that the doc
was a menace to the other children in
The neighborhoOd, and was Obliged to
Ihoot the too faithful beast.
