clasped fast in its talons. A great
ferry of horror arose from the camp,
but it was the sweetest note the
young brave had ever heard. The
bird flew straight up into the
sky until it became a mere speck to
the enthralled beholders below.

would drop its prey into the lake and
let the current draw 1t to the nest.
Such was its custom, and Tor this
the young Indian had prepared by I'M
winding from his waist a long buck
skin cord, and tying himself firmly to
the Ong's legs. The clumsy feet could
not grasp him so tightly as to prevent
his movements. At last the great toes
opened wide, but the Indian did not
fall. Again they closed and opened,
and the enraged bird thrust down his
head to see why his victim refused to
fall. In a mighty rage the Ong tried
to grasp the man in its mouth, but
the strong web between the set birds
toes sheltered him. Again and aga; in
the bird tried to use his horrid teeth,
and each time his huge body would
fall through the air in such twistings
and contortions hat those who
watched below stared in bewilder-
ment. But what the watchers could
not see was that every time the huge
mouth opened to snap at him, he
young brave hurled a handful of
poisoned arrow heads into the mouth,
and down the big throat, their sharp
points cutting deep into the unpro-
tected flesh. The bird tried to dis
lodge him by rubbing his feet to-
gether, but the thong held firm. Now
it plunged headlong into the lake.
but its feet were tied so that it could
not swim, and though it dashed the
waters into foam with it's great wings
and though the man was nearly
drowned and exhausted, the poison
caused the great bird such agony that
it suddenly arose and tried to escape
by flying toward the center of the
lake. The contest had lasted long,

day long he had beer sitting alone on
the jutting cliffs which o%verhang the
water, far away from the laughter
and shouts of the camp, eagerly, pray
erfully watching the great lake. Sure
ly the Great Spirit would hear his
prayer and give him the moment he
longed for, yet he had been here
for days and weeks i'll ~unavailing
prayer and waiting.
The afternoon was well-nigh spent,
and the heart of the young brave had
grown cold as stone. In his bitter
despair he sprang to his feet to defy
and curse the Great Spirit to whom he
had trusted, but ere he could utter the
words his very soul stood still for joy.
Slowly rising from the center of the
lake, he saw the dreaded Ong. Cir
cling high in the heavens like Il vast
shapeless thunder-cloud. black as the
night the monster swept, now here,
now there in search of prey. The
young brave stood erect. When the
Ong was nearest, he waved his arm to
attract its notice. He had not long
to wait. With a mighty swoop and an
awful rushing noise the bird dashed
to earth, and as it swept upward, the

The old Indian woman glanced
gurtiyely at the distant sky line, and
then conferred her gaze upon the deep
crystal waters of the lake. The Ong?
she said. 1 will tell you of the Ong.
The Ong was a huge bird, greater
than the houses of the white men. Its
body was like the eagles, and its
wings were longer than the tallest
pines. Its face was that of an In
dian, but covered with hard scales,
and its feet were webbed. Its nest
was deep down in the bottom OF the
lake out in the center, and out of the
nest rushed all of the waters which
fill the lake.. There are no rivers to
feed the lake, only the waters from
the Ong's nest. All the waters flow
back near the bottom, in great under
sweeps, and after passing through the
meshes of the nest are sent forth
again. Every plant and bird and ami
NAL that gets into these under-cur-
rents, and sometimes even the great
trout are swept into the meshes of
the nest and r there held fast to fur
nish food for the Ong.
He ate everything, ne liked every
thing, but best of all he liked the
taste of human flesh. No one ever
heard or saw anything of such poor

C~HICK4M4GU4 ANNIVERSARY.

One of the Great Battles of the Rebel
lion-Iragic Death of Poet-SoIdier
General Lyle.
Forty-two years ago the latter part
Of September was fought and won by
Rosecrans the great battle of Chicka-
magua.
Chattanooga, the objective point OF
the campaign, has been well considered
the very gateway of the entire South.
Bragg, in command of the Confederate
force, was outwitted and outma-
neusred, and the town of Chattanooga
fell into Federal hands, entirely by
strategy.
Chattanooga was then but a poor,
struggling village, never having been
ever heard of by one in a thousand of
those who composed the Northern
army. 1t is now a wealthy. prosperous
city of over 10000 inhabitants and the
home of many Northern families. An
electric line runs from the city to
Chickamagua Park every 30 minutes.
The celebration of the anniversary
of the battle, from the 10Th to the 23d
of September. where the tales of the
campfire and the picket line were once
more %recounted, has been of surprising
interest to thousands of old veterans
and their quondam foes

How An Innocent Man was Sus-
pected.

How An Innocent Man was Sus-
pected.
A little story was told at the New
Willard Hotel in Washington the other
day by a New Yorker who vas travel
Ing on a Pullman car between ST.
Louis and his home, which goes to
show the danger of convicting a man on
circumstantial evidence. The principal
figure in this incident was not con-
victed, but had it not been for a for
tuitous circumstance 1t might nave
gone hard with him.
ut seems that one of the occupants
of the car on getting out OF his berth to
dress missed his vest, which was q
rather serious affair, lnasmuch as 1t
contained in an inside pockee { roll or
money which consisted of siI branf-
new $100 bills.
"a little later he picked up the gar
ment on the floor, but on searching, the
roll of money was gone. 1t was a
clear case of robbery, and the mar
naturally raised an excited Qutcry,
which drew the attention OF all his
fellow-travelers. Early in the game
the proposition to search everybody IN
that coach was made and adopted VIII
but a single dissenting voice. One mar
stood out fiercely and Indignantly
against it, and said that he would
never consent to such an indignity, but
would oppose it with all the force he
could employ.
"This man was at once an object or
suspicion. and many whispers directed
at him went around. Every other indi-
vidual aboard voluntarily submitted to
being searched, yet nothing was seen
IF the 8 Glen bills. At this point some
amateur Sherlock Holmes cornered the
porter, and by adroit questions and
threats made that rascally employe
own up to the ,heft, and also made him
disgorge 5000 in handsome notes that
appeared to be right from the Print
ing Bureau. The owner of the money
was o~verjoyed and all hands congratu-
lated him on recovering his money.
About this time the obdurate gen.
tleman who had resolutely declined to
be searched secured the floor. Now.
my friends said he, L will tell you
why | risked your suspectlng me of the
theft and V hat did this man do but
go down in his hip pocket and fetch
up a roll of money that he counted out
in u presence, and, as sure as l am
a living man, in this roll there were
just six-no more and no less-brand-
new bills, each of 500 denomination.
Positively there was no way of telling
them from the bills that had been re-
covered. Then we all knew why he had
declined to be investigated

mortals as were drowned in these wa
tiers, for their bodies were carried to
the 0ng's nest and no morsel ever
escaped him. Sometimes he would
fly about the shores in quest of some
child, or woman or hunter, yet he was
a great coward, and was never known
TO attack anyone in camp, or when
two or more were together. No arrow
could pierce his feathers, nor could
the strongest spear do more than
glance from the scales on his face and
legs, yet his ~craven's heart made him
afraid, for his toes had no claws, and
his mouth no beak.
Late one fan the Washoe Indians
We're making their final hunt before
going to the valleys and leaving the
lake locked in its winter SHOWS. The
Chiefs daughter was sixteen years
old, and before leaving the lake he
must select the greatest hero in the
tribe for her husband, for such had
been the custom of Washoe chiefs
ever since the tribe came out of the
Northland. Fsairer than ever Indian
maiden had been was this daughter,
II every unmarried brave and war
rior in the tribe wished that he had
performed deeds of greater prowess,
that he might be certain of winning
Tic pIlIe. 1udt ldol hibht At thC iohSt
around the big council fire, each was
to smoke the pipe and recount to the
Chief the noblest achievement of his
life, and when all were heard, the
Chief would choose, and the women
join the circle and the wedding take
place. For many years the warriors
had looked forward to this event and
the tribe had become famed because
of acts of reckless daring performed
by those who hoped to wed the
Chiefs lovely daughter.
1t was the morning of the final day.
and much game and great stores of
dried trout were packed ready for the
journey. All were preparing for the
wedding festivities, and the fact that
no one knew who would be the bride
groom among all that mighty band of
warriors. lent intensest excitement to
the event. All were joyous and hap
by. except the maiden and the hand
some young brave to whom she had
given her heart. In spite of custom
or tradition, her love had long since
gone out to one whose feet had been
too young to press the wal path when
last the tribe gave battle to their
hereditary foes, the Piutes. He never
had done deed Of valor, nor could he
even claim the right to sit with the
Churchill standard. (Fallon, Nev) 1903-1908, 1905-11-04

and the darkness crept we the lake,
and into the darkness the Ong YAH
ished.
The women had been long in their
huts ere the council fire was kindled,
and the warriors grayely seated them
selves in its circle. The loss of Il
young brave could not be allowed to
interfere with so important an event
as the marriage choice, and from most
of their minds he had vanished. 1t
was not so very unusual for the Ong
to claim n victim, and besides, the
youth had been many times warned
by his elders that he should no 20
hunting alone as had been his habit
of late.
But while the warriors were work
ing themselves up to a frenzy of elo-
quence over their bygone deeds of
daring, an Indian maiden was pad
ding Il swiftly and silently
toward the middle of the lake. Mona,
the Chiefs daughter, understood no
more than the rest why her lover had
not been dropped into the lake, nor
why the Ong had acted so queerly,
but she knew that she could die with
her lover. She took her own frail
canoe because it vas so light and
easy to paddle, though it was made
for her when a girl, and would scarce
ly support her weight now. 1t mat
tered nothing to her if the water
splashed over the sides; it mattered
nothing how she reached her lover.
She kept saying his name over softly
to herself. ''Tahoei My own Tahoe"
When the council had finished, the
old women went to the Chiefs hut
to bid his daughter come and hear the
decision her father was about to rem
der. Their CONSERVATION was great,
nor did the tribe rest until the rosy
dawn tinged the Washoe peake and
disclosed to the warriors the vast
body of the Ong floating on the wa
tiers above its nest, and beside 1t n
tiny, empty canoe. But gently ap-
preaching the shore was the strangest
craft that ever fioated on water. 1t
was one of the Ong's great wings, and
the sail was the tip of the other wing!
Standing upon it clasped In each 9th
ers arms, was the young brave Ia
hoe and the daughter Of the chief. In
the shouts of the tribe, shouts in which
warriors and women and children
mingled their voices with that of the
great Chief. Tahoe knew that he was
the hero, and that Mona was his bride.
The decision was rendered, but the
Ong's nest still remains, and to this
day the drowned never rise in Lake
Tahoe.

And the dark, P%lutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast.
Let thine arm, oh! Queen, support

Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear,
Hearken to the great hear secrets,
Thou. and thou alone, must hear.
Though my SCARED and veteran le-

Bear their eagles high no more,
And my wrecked and shattered gal

strew dark Actium's fatal shore;
Though no glittering guards sur

Prompt to do their masters will,

Die, the great Triumvir still.
Let not Caesars servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;
Twas no foeman's hand that slew
him,
Twas his own that struck the blow.
Here, then, pillowed on thy bosom,
Ere his star fades quite away,
Him who, drunk with thy caresses,

Should the base plebeian rabble
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, O%ctavia,
Weeps within her widowed home;
Seek her-say the Gods have told me,
Affairs, Augurs, circling wings,
That her blood with mine commin-
gled,
Yet shall mount the throne of
kings.
And for thee, star-eyed Eggplant
Glorious sorceress of the Nile,
Light the path TO stygian honors
With the splendors of thy smile.
Give the Caesar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel Irvine;

Triumphing in love like thine.

Hark! insulting foeman's cry;

Nursery Nonsense.

AS long ago as a week;
And n little maybe wagged his tail
In the other little magpie's beak.
Then doubling like a INST his little
claw hard
Said the other upon my word,
This is more than flesh and blood can

From magpie or other bird"
So they picked and they scratched
each others eyes
Till all that was left on the rail
Was the beak of one of the little mag
pies,
And the other little magpie's tail.

The battle of Chickamagua, which
followed Chattanooga, was most desper-
ately contested on both sides.
Bragg was reinfN ,ced by a veteran
corps from Virginia, under Longstreet,
and Buckner's Corps from East Ten
nessee. until his forces outnumbered
Rosecrans' by over 1900, and yet the
Northern army, by wise and vigorous
marching day and night over noun
tains and through passes, and by the
concentration of widely scattered
forces. inflicted such terrible losses
that Bragg was incapable of any but
the most cautious following when
RoSecrans fell back to occupy Chatta-
nooga, for which he had been contend
ing.
Among the many brave officers on
both sides who gave up their lives Tor
their beloved causes there was none
