HOW INDIANS ARE NAMED.

Periods Of Life.

Major Frank Terry, who is in
charge Of the Indian school on the
Puyallup Reservation, is thus quoted
by the Tacoma (Washington) Ledger:
"Translations of Indian. names, as a
rule, have been unsatisfactory, though
there are exceptions. The case Is re-
ported from the Pawnee Reservation,

DHILADELPHIA, Pa, June Am
epidemic of Captain Kidd fever
Is about to break loose along the shores
of the Delaware bay.
Years have passed since this devas-
tating malady swept the towns of Della
ware and New Jersey that border on
the broad stream where most Of the
untold wealth of the ancient pirate is
supposed to have sunk into the sand
and mud. Ever since that long ago
time the New Jersey and Delaware
shores have been visited at intervals
with the fever that causes men to dig
and dig in the bottom of the bay until
they have no more money to buy
shovels.
According to conservative estimates
1t takes more money to cure one epi-
demic of Captain Kidd fever" than
three visitations Of smallpox.
But years have passed since it paid
Its last call, and the citizens of Salem,
Pennsgrove, Delaware City and all the
rest of the towns that go down to the
bay to catch shad thought that the
memory of Capt. Kidd and his gold
was buried forever in good old Della
ware mud.
Not so.
Like a thunderbclt out Of a clear
sky comes the news that the big scow
of the American Dredging company has
been pumping up ancient silver coins
out of Dan Baker sheal. where the
United States government is cutting
out a deeper channel to PHILADELPHIA.
The news first leaked out in Salem,
which is situate three miles up the
Salem river. and good nine from the
shoals. It is not generally known, even
In Salem, because, 1t is rumored, the
few who got the first information are
buying up all the tools to dig for the
treasure Of the wicked Mr.. Kidd.
Coins Are Spanish
OF course. it must be the right ship,
for the coins are said on very good
authority to be Spanish, and Capt
Kidd only took Spanish money because
| it was the least likely to be counter
feited. Those sucked up by the dredges
big pipe are also said to be Of silver,
but you can bet the gold is underneath
for 1t is we'll known that Capt. Kidd
always covered his gold with old silver
pieces. just so as to conceal how much
he really had. He also had a practice
Of wrapping up a wad. of 500 bills in
an old 81 silver certificate when he
counted change for a ransom.

sleep so!'
Never fear, child; go to Sleep His
voice was kind. but imperative.
"Ah, mon ami, nevair was I so COM
Portable" She gave little sigh, and the
eyelids f1uttered down. The flames grew
brighter.
Mates chin sank on his chest, and he,
too, slept. So until the morning, when
the Baronet awoke.
He looked at them keenly In the
early dawn, and the smile that parted his
patrician lips was not altogether ironi-
cal.
A week passed, and no errant sail Glove
the distant skyline. The supply Of tur-
ties eggs was gone, and the fish caught
by the Jap seemed a very lonely member
of his species. The castaways ate but
twice a day, and then scantily The
lines under the Countess eyes deepened,
and new ones appeared in the rugged face
of the Mate. He made bold pretense Of
eating, and only two of the party saw the
deception, but as he grew daily more ca
daverous his energy seemed to increase.
With infinite toll he Clipped some Of the
broad SeashellS into the semblance of
tools-a saw, chisel, and an adze. Nails
were drawn or dug from box or cask,

spliced and calked with cotton fibers

Artist was missing. The Countess was
the first to find his writing in the sand.

ogize for leaving you so abruptly, but
I've lost my nerve. Knapp says the boat
can only safely carry four-possibly five.
The grub is getting low and I'm sick of
chowder; besides, my demand is greater
than my supply. Love to all. May God
bless you and get you safely out Of the

The Countess made no reply but gazed
out over the still, moonlit sea.
The Banker awoke with a gasp. "Are
you awake, Knapp" he asked querulous-
Iy. I'm as cold as death. Can't you
build UP that fire?' He raised himself
on his elbow and saw the Countess.

else the grudging sea might give up. The
Banker got more joy from finding water

would not have exchanged the sailors

roll A leanAto was constructed OF the
tarpaulin, and the dried sail furnished
common coverlet to all but the Countess,
for whom the Mate cut off separate
generous slice. The Mate sat with his
back to tree, and fed the fire with tiny
scraps Of brushwood.
When all were sleeping, the Countess
suddenly awoke, chilled to the bone from
contact with the cold sand which the
warmth had long since left. The fire
was almost dead, and beside the smolder-
ing ashes lay Jordan Knapp, face down
ward and sleeping heavily. His great
shoulders were outlined against the moon
lit sky, and as he breathed deeply and
silently she could see them rise and fall
against the white horizon. AS she
watched, too cold to move, shudder
shook the great frame; he turned partly
on his side, and drew in his limbs to
warm his body.
The Countess crept softly out and threw
few sticks on the fire. As she slipped
from beneath the edge of her coverlet
dark object across it caught her eye. 1t
was the Mates coat, and another glance
showed her that he slept In his thin shirt,
open at the neck.
She picked up the coat and held it over
the Goals Of the fire. When it seemed that
the heat had penetrated every fiber she
spread it gently across the shoulders of
the Mate, noticing as she did SO that the
cotton shirt was clammy from the dew.
Almost as the garment touched him the
Mate was broad awake, up on one knee,
and tense as a fOreStaY

exclaimed the Baronet.

a better feeling seemed to pervade the
castaways. In their hunger none but the
economical Jap observed that the Mate
ate but one egg.
The Countess dropped off into a doze,

Mate who arose and searched the horizon
with cold, gray, anxious eye. Soon he
stole away from the others, and prowled
the beach, dragging fragments of wreck
age away from the reach OF the tide,
searching shell heap and rifle for objects
of use. His hard face lightened, as,
wading waist deep, he dragged from the
water the sail of one of the boats and
spread it out to dry. Three oars and a
bucket were the next treasures. Later.
