The White Captive.

Love has driven men to make fools
Of themselves, to despair, to suicide
and to deeds of heroism d fame.
Love drove Dudley Searle to the far
frontier to seek fortune and thereby
avenge himself upon the proud girl
who calmy said to him:
"Really, l believe l love you, Mr..
Searle-in fact, may have encouraged
you; but my heart does not control
my head, and l cannot sacrifice my
future by marrying poor man, hand
some and fascinating though you
are"
And this from tue woman he had
made his ideal and idol, for whom be
had won the donors of his class at
West Point, and had hoped to win for
his wife. At once be asked to be sent
to an army post in the West, and his
request was gratified, with the chances
too, that the life that he found not
worth the living--without Kate Lang
ley's love-would be quickly termi-
mated by an Indian arrow.
The man who is looking for trouble
always finds it, and Lieutenant Dudley
Searle, of the cavalry, quickly got into
the thick of it, fully as much as even
his desperation required, for the 1ndi-
ans were on the warpath; soldier
scalps we're at premium. Though
reckless in the extreme, the young Of
ficer seemed to bear one Of those charm
ed lives writer's of fiction like to harp
on for their heroes He came out of
each fight unscathed, while others fell
dead and wounded about him. And
more, Lieutenant Searle's splendid
courage won honor able mention, pro-
motion, and, in time, a medal.
Then came a romance across his
trail. Alone one day, he was shot
from ambush. He charged into the
timber upon his unseen foe, bearing
the arrow sticking in his arm, check
ed his shot just in time to prevent
shooting young redskin girl. She
had sent the arrow that had wounded
him, and she stood at bay over an old
chief, who in low tone began to chant
his death SOM. Lieutenant Searle
saw that the chief had bullet shat
tered LEG, that he was unarmed, and
that the girl was unarmcd. In per-
feet En- sI:sh sic said celmly, Come
and kill US BOTH
Struck by the pluck of the girl, the
Lieutenant glanced at her and saw
that she was fair-that IS, 'veral
hades farer that the average redskins
and also that she conld not be over
sixteen years Of age. Her story was
soon told. Her father, Chief Chrispa,
becoming separated from his braves.
had been wounded, his horse killed and
she had come on the Trail to learn his
fate. But her pony had run away
just as she came upon the mighty
leader of the Sioux, and thus they
were both at the mercy of the palefac. !;
and if she failed to kill him with her
last arrow, she expected death.

NATURES DOCTOR,

"When the Adirondack native be.
comes afflicted with any of the numer-
Gus trifling ills which make mankind
wretched," said the returned visitor to
a New York Herald reporter, "he
does not waste much time on doctors,
but goes straight to the woods or the
attic for natures own remedies. There
is one old man whom l have met with
pack basket on shoulder and shears
and rough board stool in his mitten-
ed hands, going after yarrow, which,
dried is the standby for coughs when
it has been made into wicked looking
brew. Fir balsam, coaxed drop by
drop from the blisters which swell on
the balsam fir at full moon, is a sover-
eign remedy for chest and lung COM
plants.
"Gravel weed, by which name they
insult trailing arbutus, is excellent for
the complaint which gives it its name,
and bladder root has desirable effect
on the kidneys and neighboring organs.
Sage tea, containing little summer
savory, is efficacious for worms in chill
dren, for which belmonia, also STEPPED,
is also used. Sunfower seeds, also
STEPPED, strained and sweetened with
molasses, will cure whooping cough.
Horseradish leaves wilted and bound
on the face and back of the neck, will
drive away neuralgia, and nutmeg,
bored and tied around the neck, will
keep it away. The nutmeg must be
renewed about once every six weeks.
"Onions, sliced, pounded and plac-
ed in cloth and laid over the affect
ed part, will draw out Inflammation.
A red onion, halved and with one part
slightly scooped out and the cup plac-
ed over carbuncle or boil, will
speedily remove the pus and has saved
life.
"There are many more Of these
simple remedies in the North woods
pharmacopeia which the wise ones
have at their fingers ends, and if they
are not more widely used and money
kept in the overalls of the thrifty ma
tive it is because lenient and more
fortunate fate presides over the in
comes of the AdirOnack medicOs."

THE FLOWER OF LOVE.

met little ma d one day,
All in the bright May weather;
She danced, and brushed the dew away
AS lightly as feather.
She had a ballad in her hand
That she had just been reading,
But she was too young to understand
That ditty Of distant land,
s'The flower of love lies bleeding
She tripred across the meadow grass,
To where brook was flowing,
Across the brook like wind did pass,
Wherever flowers were growing;
L ke some bewildered child she few
Whom fairies were misleading.
"Wh0se butterfly" said, ''are you:
And what sweet thing do you pursue:'"
"The flower of love lies bleeding
1--we found the wild rose in the hedge.
And found the tiger lily,
The blue flag by the waters edge,
The dancing daftodilly,
X ngcups and pansies, every flower
Except the one I'm needing;
Perhaps 1t grows in some dark bower.
And opens at a later hour,
This flower of love lies bleeding

"For you can do without it.
There's no such flower" She shock her hi al.
But have read about it,"

But she was all unheedine;
Her tender heart was strangely stirred!
She harped on that unhappy word,
"The flower Of love lies bleeding!'
''My child,'' sighed, and dropped a tear,
II would no longer mind it;
You'll find it some day. never fear.
For all Of us must find it.

With one Of gentle breeding;
You and the little lad you know,

Your flower of love lies bleeding!''

LET US NOT BECRANKS.

The main reason why so many real
ly good reforms fall through is because
the reformers, in their anxiety, zeal
and interest, allow themselves to be-
come cranks on the subject.
In the true sense of the word, they
should be cranks, since Webster de-
fines such as some one "being lively,
brisk" To carry out any scheme one
must indeed step lively and be brisk.
But "cranks,' as the world considers
them, are people whose reforms have
become fads or pet hobies. Cranks
are extremists.
A successful reformer is one who
does not thrust his ideas upon every
one, regardless of circumstances. He
abides his time, but always thinks
deeply.
There is no nobler work than that
of Anti. .Vivisection. Among b e
workers are some Of the smartest sur
geons and physicians in the United
States and Europe. Their good,
sound horse sense and level heads are
accomplishing wonders for the cause.
Yet there are others whose zeal is so
great they lose sight of all else and
are doing more harm than good.
Today, Socialism would be far in ad-
vance of where it is had not its advo,
Gates become cranks.
Temperance would have taken great
er strides had its followers and teach
ers only combined better judgment
with their al.
1t is the bane of all reforms, this
tendency to overdo, to forget the eter-
nal fitness OF things; the great lack
of reasoning power, which seems to fly
when great interest is aroused
Let US strive, those among us who
feel we are here to do good, to temper
our work with the power which will
bring lasting results. Let US abstain
from being cranks-Flora Stewart
Emory.

lev Searle the sacrifice he was going
to make to wed redskin maiden.
Th n it was discerned that the tan
was coming of Stars face, that she
was drifting naturally into the ways
of the palefaces, bad devoted love
for music and for books. One day she
frankly asked Dudley Searle:

was but one love in life for me, but l

know you, Star"
"Come and tell me- ab )ut it in an
other year, and will make known to
you secret, ''she said.
He did not wait the hidden time,
but went to her one day and asked her
to become his wife. Then she told
her secret; how she had been captured
by Indians, with her mother, when
she was but nine years of age, and had
since then lived among the Sioux.
She told him her mother had been be-
friended by Chief Chispa, had become
his wife, and OF his strange devotion
tc both of them. A year before she
had met the Lieutenant her mother
had died, but Chispa was devoted
father to her until bis death, and on
his death bed had demanded that she
go to Dudley Searle at the fort after
he was buried.
She had brought with her all of the
belongings of her mother, to prove
who she was, and, with The young
Lieutenant, she for the first time look
ed over these sacred souvenirs, and
discovered that her father had been a
distinguished army officer.
Nor was this all, for among her
mothers treasures was well-drawn
map, showing just where was to be
found lot of gold which Chief Chispa
had found and hidden away, and when
he was dying he told her that all was
hcrs-that she was to be his heir
ess.
"And l can guide you to the spot
where the gold is hidden, and you'll
find that I am really an heiress,' she
said in her simple way.
"Your love is dearer to me than all
gold, STAR was the answer of the SOL
dier.
And they were married, these two
who so strangely met. The treasure
was found, and it amounted to quite
a handsome sum when sold, while the
bridal tour of Dudley Searle and his
wife took in the old home of the officer
who had his revenge when he learned
that his first love had married poor
barber in the guise of French count
