Emilia Dinacci says her aunt will

her voice is clear, though harsh.

Terrible Fate Of q Young Man
Who Was Captured by
Band Of {ndia7s.

In the days when the diligence, or
stagecoach, started from Paso del Nor
te to 90 to Chihuahua there were three
points Of great danger along the trail,
one Of which was Candelleria, or the
Candle mountain pass, says Colonel
Jack Crawford, the one time noted
scout. Here lurked band Of Indians
under Victoria and Mana, most notori-
Gus Of the 11assccllerro and Apache In
dams. These chiefs We're rcckolod the
most bloodtilirsty and cruel Of any that
infested the border at that time.
One night rs we nearcd the pass on
the way to chihuahua it was pitch
dark. I rode in advance or the coach.
The only passenger was TWENTY-FIVE
ycar-old young man named l'u@A from
st. Louis. The diligence was drawn by
old fashioned mule teams. y typical
cocherro. or driver. named Pedro Au'
GUSTAV held the lines. lie was Il genu-
inc Castilian. Beside Pedro TO,.c the
tlamDeau boy, with his pipe sticks and
resin.
Soon I saw signs of Indians and rode
back to warn the driver.
Before I reached the diligence q rifle
cracked, and one Of the lead mules fell
dead. The flambeau boy lighted his
resin torch to see what was the matter.
The mules, all alright, became tan
sled in the harness. We all were at
sea as to where the deadly bullet came
from.
Then came from directly before US q
screech Of Internal yells, often read
about but rarely heard. We knew the
Indians, while not advancing, were
going to wait to see which way we
would 80.
"Put out the fame" called quickly
to the boy. "Quit your team and get
your rifle, Pedro" I exclaimed to the
driver, and I ordered Pugh, the only
passenger, to hide in the shadows be-
hind the rocks. 1t was useless to try
to go farther, as the Indians had set an
ambuscade for us.

off, We can kill them. It's our only
chance" I hid my horse in the shad
ows, told Pedro to get mule, ordered
the boy to get another and told Pugh
to do likewise. But poor Pugh became
dazed with fright, and instead Of ffaail1= fail1s=
ing back to shelter he r'..sned ahead Of
the-mu'es and straight into the arms OF
the Indian runners. With storm Of
hideous yells the redskins danced
about the captive. We did not see
Pugh run away In the dark, and the
first we knew of his capture was when
we heard his screams rising above
those of the demons who caught him.
We three who remained fell back to-
ward Los Toncas, hearing as we re
treated the unearthly, demoniacal yells
Of the Apaches and the heartbreaking
cries Of the young man. Attempt at
rescue was useless. We never could
have helped the poor boy. We could
hear his screams as they tortured, mu-
tilated and burned his body. While

nb Elder Sister.

A hen came off tie nest with one
chicken. She was very sensible -He2f -Hhee22f
and did not waste too much time on
that one. When she thought it was old
enough to look after itself she went to
laying again. The chicken would go
with her to the nest. and when the
time for sitting on the eggs came the
patient little creature assisted in that
process too. When the brood was
hatched she followed with it. and after
few weeks of this life the practical
mother turned the family over to the
elder sister and again went about what
she considered her chief business IN
life-to ley eggs.
1t was a novel sight to see the half
grown chicken taking care Of the
brood. She did her best to initiate the
mother, scratching and trying to cluck,
but making a strange noise. The little
chickens followed her contentedly and
seemed to forget all about the mother.

degree of intensity upon the duty Of q

exceptions to all rules, and little Ray
mond Scott is one Of these exceptions.

Inquirer as follows:
Seven-year-old Raymond Scott Of
81 Warren avenue, Camden, had a
remarkable escape from a locomotive
yesterday morning at Haddon avenue
station as he was on his way to school.
The boy ran across the tracks directly
IN front Of an Atlantic City express.
The engines pilot struck him, and he
rolled over and over for thirty feet.
When picked up, the train crew was
astounded when Raymond said:
"Where are my books? Hurry up, or
I'll be late"
