She Mas Had . Strange Life AnaonE the
Blsckfeet.
The curious story Of white strf's
life among the Blackfeet Indians for
f6 years just come out through suit
brought by Alice Burke against Thorn
as Husson, cattle rancher of Eastern
Oregon to recover ranch which once
belonged to her father, and is now
valued at $4,000 dollars, says the '@Chi-
eago Herald" Burke and old Husson
started to cross the plains from Kansas
to Oregon. Burke was detained and
sent his girl, then two years old, with
Mrs. Husson. Husson sold the child to
Blackfoot Indian Chief for II ponies,
and when Burke arrived In Oregon
told him that Alice had died. Six years
ago Burke died, and the Illusions have
been in possession of his ranch. Alice
meanwhile grew up among the tribe,
and when white people noticed her fine
hair, the Indians said she was half
breed whose parents were dead. She
gained the love of the son of chief
named Fleetwing, who was sent to
! Carlisle. When he was there Alice took
lessons of the Indian agents wife and
kept pace with him in his studies.
When the agent was removed she went
with him to Boise City, but his wife
died, and she had to take place as
a servant, and was a Kitchen drudge
for many months. Then Fleetwing sent
her money, and she returned to the
reservation. The revelation of her
white blood came when she was an ap-
plicant for place in a big tribal cere-
mony. Then young Husson appeared
and told her the story, but offered her
only So for her fathers property.
She refused and investigated, and is

Her First Trolley Ride.

A group of traffic managers and s@

way men in Philadelphia were telling
stories of street railwaying. Irwin
Fuller of Detroit said:
"A pretty Irish girl, fresh from the
old country, sat in a trolley car, look

with modest interest.
She had soft gray eyes, a face like
roses and lilies, beautiful hair and
white teeth.

CHAPTER V.
Gagged.

The circumstances which might have
led another to hasten his operations.
led the Israelite to greater care and re-
Election. He had not supposed that
Julian would take the Two black men
to service so near his own person, and
when he found that such arrangement
had been made, his first inclination
was to hesitate least suspicion of the
slaves honesty had led the chieftain to
place them thus near him. However.
after the lapse Of a few days, Judah
was satisfied that no suspicion was en-
tertained against himself or his com
panions, and he began to turn his at
tention to the work he had in hand.
On the morning of the fourth day
Julian announced his intention OF NOV
ing, and gave orders that his men
should be in readiness. A spy had ar
rived during the night with intelli-
gence that large caravan was on it's
way from Tyre to Damascus, and the
chieftain had determined to intercept
it. Some wealthy merchants from
Rome were in the approaching train,
and 1t was probable that they bore
wealth for Horam
Just as the sun was rising, while Ju-
dab was in the wood after his horse,
he was accosted by Osmir, who had
been out ON an errand for the chief

lord. left her upon this very spot"
The chieftain heard a slight rustling
behind him; but, not being startled
into quick action, before he could turn
he received blow upon the side OF
the head that felled him to the earth.
He was for the moment stunned, and
before his reason was clear enough to
direct his movements, he was set upon
by three stout men, who bound his
arms and legs so quickly that his
power of resistance was gone before
he fairly knew what opposed him.
'sir Robber," spoke the Israelite
bending over the PROSTATE chieftain,

you are in my keeping until I deliver
you up to my master. You cannot es-

The Scourge of Damascus, in the full
vigor of robust manhood, and possess
ed of a strength and daring beyond
any of his stalwart followers, was
prisoner in the hands Of
three slaves-a prisoner within
sound of his own camp-and so surely
a prisoner that he had no way of es-
cape. His steel-wrought muscles were
powerless beneath the cruel bonds, and
his mouth was stopped from the utter
ance of alarm. He was lifted from the
ground and placed upon the back of
a powerful horse, and in few mo
ments more he was being borne swiftly
away from his friends and compan-
ions-away towards the city where

GUST THE DEMON.

wreaks its fiendish malice on those
who use 1t.
A lady writing from Calf. says:-
MY husband and |, both lovers of
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form of nervousness.
accompanied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort of af-
fection of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
Il was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension of the nerves
drew 1t to one side. causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as
to what caused the trouble. until a
friend suggested that possibly the cof-
fee we drank had something to do
with 1t, and advised that we quit it
and try Postum Coffee.
I'VE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began TO improve. and in
very short time both of us were
entirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more, the headaches
ceased. the muscles in the back of my
neck relaxed. my head Strengthened

punished me while used the old kind
