THE DREA DED
PA RIS APACHE>S
Their Dark and Terrible Deeds
Are -|preodfnS Con-
SferndfiOn.

Ruffianly marauders, gracing them
selves with the most alarming names,
are bringing about a reign of terror in
Paris. Night after night outrages are
repeated by the hardened organized
criminals, some barely over fourteen
years of age and none over thirty.
Among the bands are the Belleville
"Apaches," the Auteuil "Slicers," the
"Black Masks" the "Blue Belts and
others. The most famous and the most
feared of all are the "Apaches."
Just how many Apaches there are is
an unsolved mystery. Two of their
in New Caledonia, and Milo, the origi-
nal founder of the band, died there.
The real head of the Apaches is their
queen, Familiarity called on account Of
her hair Golden Helmet" She always
becomes the consort of the Apache
who is chief for the time being, and she
controls the destinies Of the band. She
does not participate in the exploits of
the band, but reaps the fruit of victory
and has even pretensions to fashion.
Golden Helmet has been the cause of
nearly fifty duels between Apaches in
the past two years, and she impartially
gives her hand to the victors.
The methods of the Apaches are sim
pie. There is no attempt at decoy OF
deception. Any thoroughfare will do
as a scene, any belated wayfarer as
victim. OF sudden some six or eight
forms glide silently out from the shad-
ow. If the man appear strong or if the
street be in frequented district there
is no parleying. A force from behind
pins his arms to his sides, while his
head is given a few sharp taps, which
produce silence. His pockets are rifled,
and he is finally left with a knife pene-
trating into his vitals. The name of
the band is generally scrawled on a bit
of paper pinned to his flesh with the
knife
Sometimes just after nightfall the
Apaches prowl the streets of their own
districts looking for victims to capture
and torture AS soon as one is found
whistles summon the entire band, and
then, with a mock bow, one says: "Per-
NIT me to introduce my friends. You
have heard of us. We are the Apaches
Of Belleville." The victim is taken to
the headquarters of the band.
''Sit down." orders the chief. The
rest of the Apaches, brandishing
cleaning blades, gather around in a
ring. "Now drink" A quart bottle of
absinth is forced to his mouth. At
the first gulp of the neat liquor the
wretch gasps. A vigorous kick admin
istered in his stomach warns him that

Mrs. L. Hinde, whose husband is sub
commissioner of the British East Afri-
ca protectorate, has had the remarkable
experience of being stalked by lions
and the still more remarkable fortune
Of living to tell the tale. 1t was on the
Uganda railway, in spot historic for
the ravages of man eating lions, that
Mrs. Hinde met with the thrilling adj
venture which she relates.
Camping out, the party in which Mrs.
Hinde was could hear with horrid reg
ularity the screams of the wretched
victims as they were carried off for the
man eaters nightly repasts.
The camp was seventy miles from
the nearest connecting link with the
outside world, and communication had
to be kept up daily by native mail run
ners. 1t was the habit Of the lions to
keep pace in the long grass with the
runners on the track and, having Sc

carry him off into the bush.
On one occasion when out mapmak-

dropping two of the beasts. He then
suggested that Mrs. Hinde should ride
bacl- to camp while he approached the
two lions, who might be dangerous
even though mortally hit.
After riding for half an hour Mrs.
Hinde looked back and saw six of the
lions following her. The two native
gun bearers ran away, leaving her IN
armed, alone with her sails, an hour
from camp.
She set off at a fast gallop, the sails
running by her side. In their path
arose an angry rhinoceros, which fed
from them on to the lions.
Mrs. Hinde reached camp in safety.
while Mr.. Hinde was held up by the
rhinoceros, on which he did not venture
to fire for fear of turning it on Mrs
Hinde.

Its journey up his leg it would thrust
its head through and that then he
might seize it back of the head, hold it
so it could not bite and crush its life
out. By dint of slow maneuvering Lee
finally got out his knife and cut out his
pocket and the cloth above it. But
when the snake reached the hole it felt
the cold air, from which it had sought
refuge in his trousers leg, and did not
come out. He sank into a trance, and
after time he was aroused by feeling
a cold pressure on his forehead. He
opened his eyes and looked up. He
saw the form Of a man bending over
him and heard hoarse voice say:

elbow 'em out, old man, if it will
give you any pleasure" he answered.
Il don't care what you do"
The man was no doubt one CO the
desperate characters from the nearby
camp. He had probably noted that
Lee had not gone to the bank for three
days and figured on laying his hands
on a fat little pile of gold dust.
He CROPPED around the tent, search
ing for Lees pile. He emptied tins
and cans, poked into Lees chest, look
ed everywhere, and finally approached
Lee himself.
The latter lay motionless, as he had
now done for hours. Then the man
stopped down and began feeling for
Lees pocket. He found it and limo
Gently thrust his hand into the hole
which Lee had cut in his trousers leg.
On the instant the snake struck and
bit the robber. There was a scream Of
agony, and the desperate was dancing
about the tent in pain and mortal fear,
for he knew full well what it was that
had struck him.
The snake, having vented it's anger,
wriggled away, and the next thing Lee
heard was the desperate calling for an
ak. He found an ak, and without an
instant's hesitation he stretched his
hand across a log and severed his
thumb and two fingers and by so do
ing saved his life, for the poison had
not yet got into his system.
Lee staggered to his feet and did
what he could to bind up the mans
bleeding hand, gave him a drink of
whisky and sent him packing off to-
ward the mining town for medical aid
Soon the morning came, and then Lee
discovered that his hair had turned
white in a single night.

mans hair to turn white in a single
night. There was a brisk discussion on
the point until some one said:
WED better let old Bill Lee, sitting
over there, settle the debate. How
about it, Bill?
The man addressed told a story, a
true one, Of his own experiences in an
sWer.
He said that some years before he
had been mining farther down the
country in a camp filled with all sorts
of strange characters. His claim was
about two miles out of the mining set
tlement.
Usually he washed out his gold at the
end of each day and took it to the bank
But once it so happened that for two
days he was too tired at nightfall to
take his gold in On the evening OF the
third day he took all his washings in
gold dust for the three days and, dig
ging a hole in the ground within his
tent, buried it and built his campfire
over it.
After his supper he lighted a candle,
stuck it on a box and, lying down,
sank into the slumber of the healthfully
tired After a time he was awakened
by feeling Of something cold stealing
up his right leg. He did not raise his
body, but in the dim light of the candle
he was able to make out the lower end
Of one of the most poisonous snakes in
Africa, a snake whose bite is fatal.
Lee knew that if he moved his leg the
snake would bite him, and he lay mo-
t1Onless for some time wondering what
to do. After time it occurred to him
If the snake crawled to his abdomen it
would surely cause him to move, which
would arouse the serpent to strike, so
he cautiously reached down and tight
ened his belt, which he had loosened.
The snake moved forward slowly
and steadily. He could feel it's cold,
clammy body ascending with the SLOW
ness Of the hour hand of the clock, and
the deliberateness of it's motion caused
an indescribabIe horror to rise in him,
and the cold sweat broke out on his
body. He tried to resign himself to
death. Strangely and swiftly the story
of his whole life began to pass before
his mental vision. Deeds long, long
since forgotten came rushing back into
his memory in troops.
He stretched out one hand and felt
about the ground until his fingers came
upon nail. He then paved about
until he could fasten his fingers over
the edge of an empty meat tin, and,
bringing the tin to his chest, he slowly
scratched message to his sister in the
hope that those who found his BODY

all the time feeling the slow advance
of the deadly thing along his leg. He
thinks he sank into a sort of stupor or
trance, but again consciousness came
to him, and he found himself devising
a new scheme for extricating himself
from his danger.
He decided to try to get his knife out
OF his pocket, open it and cut the peck
