before him. II remember now that
underground rivers and brooks are
common in these southern ATTITUDES.

especially in Yucatan. / wonder if

Kent as he sat down on boulder.

1T was a hard climb. but Sidney
made it. He stood at last directly
over the waterfall. Without stop
ping to admire the view spread out
before him. he plunged into the for
est which sloped upward. 1t grew
thicker as he advanced. Suddenly
he came to solid mass of trees
and brush, woven into Il thicket so
dense that no animal larger than
a rabbit could penetrate it for a
yard Sidney walked along the edge
of this jungle for half mile or
more, but his search for an opening
was stopped by the fact that the
vegetable barrier finally extended
to the edge of the cliff. The ex-
plorer then selected a tall logwood
tree, and after hard struggle

and climbed nearly to the top. From
this elevation he had fair view of

| only guess at it's extent. He found

| beyond he made out the outlines of
other and higher hills, probably four
or five miles away.
Sidney Hammond was not unfa-
miliar with such jungles, having
encountered them in the mountains
| of New Mexico, but those northern
thickets were not to be compared
to the tropical mass which now con-
fronted him. He sat in the branches
of the tree for some time. Suddenly
he realized it was hot, and at the
same moment the sound of two shots
came from the valley. He was fear

These birds had been seen in album

none until the time came to start
for camp. In a few minutes Sidney
was at the bottom of the cliff Mr..
Kent was not to be seen. Sidney
ran to where he had left the million

the top of his voice.
An answering call came from a
ravine to the left. Sidney ran in
that direction. Mr.. Kent was stand
ing under tree, with the shotgun
half raised. He was looking intently
at a jagged pile of rocks short dis
lance away. At his feet was a dead
deer.
"Hurry up." said Mr.. Kent as Sid

WHO EXECUTED CHARLES L.?
Tie Name of Richard Brandon Is
Most Widely Connected With
the Deed.

IN the burial register of White
chapel, under the year 1649, is the fol-
lowing entry, says Harper's Maya
zine: June 21st. Richard Brandon,
a man out of Rosemary Lane. This
Brandon is held to be the man who
beheaded Charles the First"
A less distinguished candidate for
the infamy was one William How
lett, actually condemned to death
after the restoration for part he
never played, and only saved from
the gallows by the urgent efforts of
a few citizens who swore that Bran
don did the deed. Brandon was not
available for retribution. He had
died in his bed six months after
Charles was beheaded and had been
hurried ANONYMOUSLY into his grave
in Whitechapel church yard. AS pub
lie eNecutioner of London, he could
hardly escape his destiny; but it is
said that remorse and horror short
ened his days. In his supposed con
fession," tract widely circulated at
the time, he claims that he was
fetched out of bed by Il troop of
horse" and carried against his will
to the scatfold. Also that he was
paid ESQ, all in half-crowns, for the
work, and had IAN orange stuck full
of cloves. and a handkerchief out of
the kings pocket" The orange he

of the luXuries of civilization In this
instance also, the chief violates the Gus
toms of his people, who not only ban
ish from sight and memory every re-
hinder of their dead, but object se-
riously to dwellings built of timber.
In short, they utterly refuse to live
in the neat little two-roomed houses
built for them by the government, and
prefer their white-topped canvas te-
pees. / have seen numbers of these
little red-painted government houses
standing empty and neglected around
Fort Sill, slowly falling to the ground,
while near by group of tepees doomed
up against the rugged background Of
mountain. The picturesque Wichita
mountains engirdle the Comanche al
lotments, and no more beautiful re-
gion can be seen in all Oklahoma.
Chief Quanah is a willy old redskin.
1t is said on the reservation that he
walks both roads ''-the paleface road
of progress and backward trail of the
redskins. 'During his checkered career
he has been so fortunate, or unfortu-
nate, as to acquire seven wives; this
was according to the old ruling which
permitted polygamy among the Blan-
ket Indians, or Wild Tribes. But Uncle
Sam has put his foot down on this
practice, and from now on ''Lo" will
have to content himself with one wife
only. Chief Quanah is the father of 30
odd children. Many of them are well
educated, but the subject of this sketch
carries off the palm among the Par
lier olive branches.
Needle Parker, Quanahs daughter, is
a quarter-breed Ccmanche, and one Of
the most beautiful and interesting In
dian girls to be found among the Kio-
wa and Comanche Indians of Olllaho-
ma. Her somewhat melancholy, though
beautifully regular, features, show few
traces of the stern, aquiline, Indian
type, partaking rather of the soft
curves of the distant Spanish strain
inherited by the Comanches from their
Mexican ancestry. Her complexion is
pure olive, showing the Caucasian
blood of her captive grandmother. Her
name, Needle, leaves one to infer that
either she is an adept with the needle
of civilized womanhood, or acquired
her peculiar name CATER the manner
of these Indians,) because of some in
cident connected with her birth in
which a needle played a conspicuous
part. Outlines child's name is al
tered in after years on account Of
some marked personal characteristic.
Perhaps this young woman with tho
melancholy Spanish beauty showed
marked talent for needlework and so
obtained her name. She has a sister
who rejoices in the more civilized namo
of Laura. This more progressive
daughter of the chief is assistant CASH
ier in the bank of Indiahoma, while vet
another, who "walks the paleface
way" is teaching school.
The chiefs eldest son, Walter, a grad
uate of Carlisle, and very promising
young man, died short time ago, a
victim of that dread destroyer of the
Blanket misunderstanding to the
great grief of the old chief, who is de-
voted to his children, and is father
as well to all his tribe. To his home.

and looked over the gentlemen who

Mr. Pence had sunk back in his
chair and was examining Il book
which Sidney left on the table. He
lifted his eyes over his steel-rimmed
glasses and gazed languidly at Mr..
Vincent.
you can come to the kitchen,
Mr.. Pence" said Vincent, "and pare
the potatoes for luncheon"
Whats that?' exclaimed the
astounded millionaire. 'Pare pota-
toes! Me pare potatoes? Absurd"
There was a general roar of laugh
ter.
II am on another committed" ex-
claimed Mr.. Pence, "the committee
on exploration"
You now seem to be on the es-
cape committee!" said Mr.. Kent.
Take him along, Vincent"
Mr.. Pence looked at Mr.. Rockwell
appealingly.
II have nothing to do with it," Mr..
Rockwell said, ''unless Mr.. Hammond
urgently needs and demands your
services on the exploration commit
tee. If not, you will have to obey
Mr.. Vincent. He is general superin-
tendent, and you voted for him and
his authority"
Sidney said that he did not need
Mr.. Pence at present. That gen
tleman arose, and with a woeful ex-
preston followed Vincent to the
kitchen. A few minutes later he
donned white apron and entered
on his lew duty. He proved an
adept, and Mr.. Kent looked in at a
side door and regarded his work with
approval.
'He is the best man you could Sc
lect," said Mr., Kent, addressing the
general superintendent, who was
critically watching Mr.. Simon Pence.
'He can cut the thinnest pairing you
ever saw. The potato will weigh
more when he gets through with it
than it did when he began. He is a
wonder. You ought to see him pare
a dividend"
"Make him go way" pleaded Mr..
Pence.
But Mr.. Kent had disappeared.
Mr.. Vincent went in search of more
help. He found Mr.. Haven.
81 shall have to ask you to chop
some wood" he said.
Certainly" said Mr.. Haven, with
surprising alacrity. where is the
AK? l was dandy at chopping wood
when boy. How long do you want
it?" In a few minutes the sugar
magnate was hard at work, and at
the end of three hours he had accu-
mulated a goodly pile of wood and
ravenous appetite.
During the day Vincent went about
his duties in a most systematic man
ner. He took each member of the
colony in charge, and showed them
the mysteries of the storeroom and
kitchen, and the exact location of all
foods and cooking utensils.
