"and it's pity that we've lost him. You can bet your life that he is straight, however, and that he will use that little Indian girl all right, for a better fellow never lived. We all knew them to be unusually friendly. of course, but no one suspected that 1t was love match, for white man and an Indian don't mate up now, as often as they did in the early dys. l think they'll go back to Oklahoma and settle down"
 Officials of the show stated that the two left town just before the show was completed last Friday night and probably journeyed from Marlboro to Boston. The cowboy had plenty of money and it would have been an easy matter for him to have procured cloth ing of the conventional type for him. self and his bride if he had desired. When they left the man wore som- brero, leather trousers, boots, spurs, a cartridge belt and 45 caliber Colt re- volver and the girl was gotten up in primitive Indian togs, with feathers, blanket and moccasins.
 Agents of the show visited Nashua, N. H., Boston, Taunton and other cities in hope of locating them. Maj. Lillie is forced to give large bond for the safe conduct of the Indians throughout the country and is espe- cially desirous of retaining the In- dian princess. Both will be welcomed back to the show and forgiven-in- deed, the major promises banquet and wedding present-and the off, cials still believe that the couple will be with them again after short honeymoon.

But was about to tell you how I made the capture, for this is the most interest ing part of the story from my way of looking at it. had had very dull night of it, and was getting sleepy along toward four o'clock in the morn ing. I had hid myself in a shadowy place, and to be frank about it, was dozing just bit. A man could have passed me with ease if he had made no more than ordinary noise in walk ing the pavement.
 Suddenly I was reused by the buzzing and changing of an alarm clock, and jumping up, threw my pis- tol right into the face of the fellow who had the noisy timepiece. About the same time 8 head was showed out of window two doors away, and the cry of Thief rang out on the air. had caught the thief. The man who cried thief owned the clock, and had set it to 'go off at four o'clock in the morning, as he wanted to catch train. He caught the train and I caught the thief and found a collection of clocks numerous enough to start a clock store. It was one of the strangest catches ever made, and the fellow ran down wound up his career by doing time in the state penitentiary for a term of years"

JINGLE SAM SAVES PELICAN
Government Establishes Island In a Florida River Where Bird Is
 Secure from Hunters.

Uncle Sam has stepped in just in time to save an American species, the brown pelican, from being killed off entirely by plume hunters. He is now a real father of pelicans, for the government has taken over an island in the Indian river, in Florida, where these queer birds live, and Pelican island is sacred. He is also 8 protector of sea gulls now, for all his lighthouse reservations and other government ground on the coasts are reserved as breeding places for these birds, where no man may hunt them or even frighten them. Tn his coast forti- ncations, too, the wild birds find safe refugees, and in places as near big cities as Sandy Hook, which is within sight of the great. crowded city of New York, the birds have such safe homes that a naturalist can find scores of uncommon species which are not at all shy there, because they are entirely undisturbed.

CUPID PLAYS PRANK.
CAUSES COWBOY AND INDIAN
 MAID TO FALL IN LOVE.
Together They Leave Wild West Show Way Down in New England to Find Happiness in the
 Far West.

Two performers are missing from Pawnee Bills wild west show, a cow boy and a lady. They left the show at Marlboro, Mass, and Maj. Gordon w. Lilies agents are now securing the state of Massachusetts In search of them. He is a flashing, handsome knight of the lariat, 25 years old and the owner of a ranch in Oklahoma; she is a ful1-blooded Indian, the daughter of chief and one of the prettiest maidens that ever left the territory. They eloped together and are believed to be en route for the west
 Their romance is most unusual. Night after night, 1t was noticed, the two used to wander about the grounds together, before and after the per formance or whenever there happened to be few leisure moments, and even while the show was in progress they would be exchanging smiles and greet ings. They called her the Princess Won-ton-ay-e, the Sioux equivalent for first blush of the morning" or some such picturesque phrase about day. break, and there is mourning in the camp of the Sioux, because of her flight, for the Princess First Blush of the Morning was their pride. She spoke English f1uently and sweetly, be- ing a graduate of one of the schools in the territory, and was much sought after by distinguished visitors who Ipatronized the show. When Maj. Lil- lie and his riders played in Washing ton she was a guest at a dinner given by one of the most prominent society women of the city. Tn Philadelphia she dined out as the guest of the city solicitor and his wife, who were charmed with her. The mans name is withheld by the officials. When Eddie Botsford, king of the cowboys and the intimate of the missing man was asked, he shook his head.

Near Swan Hill, Victoria, there was found not so long ago the skull of a horse which tells pa- thetic story. When quite young the animal evidently escaped with a piece of manilla rope tied tightly around his jaws. In the struggle for existence, the rope became embedded in the bones of the upper and lower jaws. The opening ofthe lowerjaw, through which the rope passes, at first sight would seem to have been drilled; but in reality it was worn away by the friction of the rope on the bone.-Scientific Amer ican.
