SENSATIONAL KIDNAPPING.
Citizen Of Central, Looking for a Wife,"
Barely Escapes Trouble.

Excitement and feeling ran high
around the Teller house Tuesday even
ing when report reached Dan Russell
and w. B. Wheeler, OF the "Looking for
a Wife" company, that two of the hand
soonest and most attractive young
ladies Of the troupe had either eloped or
been kidnapped by man claimed to be
one OF the wealthiest mining operators
Of the county. The person who inform
ed the theatrical gentlemen Of the alb
duction said the trio had been seen only
short time before headed southwark,
and it was presumed they were bound
for Idaho Springs. Messrs Russell and
Wheeler made hurried search for the
manager of the company and apprised
him OF the unhappy news they had re-
ceived. The manager upon hearing of
the elopement or kidnapping was in a
paroxysm Of rage. He could hardly re-
alize what had happened and was at
loss for moment to know what to do.
The girls were two OF the leading MEM
bers of the chorus and their services
were in great demand. Without them
the show would be crippled beyond the
powers OF the manager to mend. Some
thing had to be done and that quickly.
Madge Boutelle and Marie Gilmour must
be rescued from their captor at all haz
ards. Someone had to pursue the vii
lain who had sought to wreck the COM
pany by stealing two Of the feminine
stars, overpower and despatch the kid
napper, and return the handsome &C.
tresses to the folds Of thespians. But
who was to do it? Who would "save the
girls or die" All, there was Alfred Mayo,
the manager himself. AS brave as a

horse out Of trot. 1t was up to him.
Would he go on the desperate mission?
He would
Quickly horse was saddled at the
Williams barn-the fastest steed IN the
stable-and the gallant manager was in
hot pursuit Of the kidnapper and his
victims. Stops were made just often
enough to inquire Of travellers if they
had seen a man and two pretty bellies.
Good news was at last received. The trio
had been noticed passing through Rus
sell Gulch. On the scent! Spurring his
steed on to its utmost speed the deter
mined manager went through Russell as
though the Revolutionary war was just
commencing, and he were Paul Revere,
spreading the news throughout the land.
Sighted at last! The chorus girls and
the man claimed to be their kid
napper. With quick jerk the horse was
brought to its launches. The trio had
been overtaken. Before the angry man.
ager, mounted on three slow but surely
moving burros were Madge and Marie
and a trusted companion and guide,
Dick Pasco, all having enjoyed a most
splendid outing, and preparing to return
to the sacred precincts Of the Teller

hands. She can take great care of her

graceful, too. The fact that Nature
did not give her a naturally pretty face
need not keep her from being graceful.

Rest for the Mind

There are various ways of resting the
mind. According TO a certain physi-
elan. the most effective position to
sleep. for obtaining intellectual rest. is
TO keep the head low aud the feet
slightly elevated.
Failing all this. the body should at
any rate be horizontal. so as to irri-
gate the brain well. The habit OF sleep
ing with the head low and the feet high
is also said to be remedy for brain
troubles and certain internal maladies.

sufferers to go In for his discovery grad
