Indian
Girls Cruel
Revenge
On Her
Cowboy
Lover

A remarkable story is that whicl
comes from Oklahoma. 1t is that o
the cruel revenge Of an Indian maidel
on her COW boy lover. For three day
she kept him bound to stakes on tn
desert until at last death came to hi
relief
The cowboys on the Blk X ranch II
the Kiowa and Comanche Indian res
ervations near Darlington, in the In
dian Territory, have been in the habit
Of going over to the Indian villages In
the evenings and taking the young
women out horseback riding
Willis Andale was a young easternei
who had gone out to Oklahoma for ad.
venture and to improve his health. He
was extremely handsome and had q
dashing, daring manner that appealed
to women.
Anna Kildeer was an extremely good
looking Comanche girl, and the Co
manche girls are about the best look
ing Of Indian maidens.
Young Andale paid marked attention
to Anna. He took her riding every
evening. and under the great golden
moon that hung low over the endless
plains Of Oklahoma he told her the soft,
sweet nothings that man is expected
to say when sitting on the veranda Of
the summer resort hotel at night. It
seems that be is not expected to say
them In the Comanche country
Andale was greatly surprised when
his friends, the other cowboys, told him
that Anna Kildeer had fallen desper-
ately in love with him and that she
would expect him to marry her An
dale Immediately rode over to Anna
home and took her out for ride Then
he told her that he had not meant what
he said and that he had not thought
she was taking what he said in earnest.
"Oh, you love me-" said the Indian
girl slowly. you love me- for you told
me that you did"
"Oh" said the cowboy irritably.
Hang 1t all, men aren't supposed to
tell the truth when they are making
love. l was only joking with you"
you said you loved me-" replied the
Indian girl. II do not understand the
Joking"
well, then" said the cowboy, II am
going to marry little girl down east.
Do you understand thatw
Il will wish you happiness" said the
Indian girl, when you have married
the paleface."
Andale went back to the Big x ranch
that night feeling happy and contented.
he had no wish to bring misery to the
heart Of even an Indian girl, and he
was glad that he had explained him.

The long night passed and the day
came and the sun shone down pitilessly
on the figure staked out on the burning
sands. Night came on again and still

ing sky. He cursed and screamed and
shrieked aloud for vengeance. Then he
would plead piteously for murder and
beg that the Indian girl would shoot
him. But she would only bend over
and look into his face and taunt him.
Finally the end came, and the Indian
girl went back well pleased to Darling
ton and told Of what she had done.
When they put her in Jail and a mob
came and made an attempt to lynch
her, she was greatly surprised. She
could not understand but what she had
done the right thing. A man had todd
her that he had loved her. He lied.
She made him suffer as he had made
her suffer. That was all. She had no
saving grace of humor.

self and made the girl understand the
situation. He had asked the Indian
girl to go out for another ride a few
nights later, as he did not wish to
break Off their friendship. When be
rode over that night, Anna met him In
manner that was cordial in one of
her race. and the cowboy rejoiced again
that she had become so reconciled to
the situation. Over the endless prairie
the two rode away into the night, Anna
sitting behind Andale on his horse and
holding ON by gripping the saddle.
Suddenly Andale felt moose falling
over his shoulders and down his arms.
1t was jerked tight, and he was secure
ly pinioned. Another moose fell about
his neck. The girl reached over and
drew the bride rein and stopped the
horse. She alighted and, pulling the
iariats that bound Andale, jerked him
to the ground. She took a longer rope
and bound him the more securely and
then dragged him over the ground until
she came to some stakes that she had
put Into the ground the day before.
She carefully fastened the hands and
