est Over the brink into sight was
toiling strange figure bent and al
most hidden under an unwieldy load.
She moved aside in some trepidation
to await the creatures advance. Up
on it's back as it tottered along was a
score of pots and pans tied together
and topped by a sack of buffalo chips
that at each step rolled first to one
hand and then to the other. Yet with
all the difficulty Of balancing the fuel
sack and preventing its falling to the
ground the straggler did not fail to
keep in place a drab face covering.
The mules stood perfectly quiet IN
til the figure was near; then they be-
came uneasy for the second time and
SHE'D back upon the pillow, tangling
their harness.
The effect of this was startling. The
sack of chips came tumbling of the
pots and pans. splitting upon the road
way The tin things followed, with a
crash. and, with a grunt, the bent fig
ure retreated few steps and uncov-
cred its face.
In very amazement Dallas let go the
mules. The creature facing her was
young and pitifully thin. About a face
dripping with perspiration fell a mop
of tangled hair. Under tattered
mourning blanket a bullying calico
waist disclosed, through many rents, q
lean and bony chest, and below the
leather strap that helted both the SOM
Der blanket and the waist hung Imply
the shreds of frmged buckskin petit
coat. The straggler was an Indiana
male-yet, despite his sex, he wore
not braves dress, but the filthy, de-
grading garb of squaw!
He watched Dallas with cowed,
questioning eyes, strangely soft and
un-Indian in their expression. After a
moment, seeing that he was i'll as we'll
as unarmed, she ceased to feel afraid
Of him.
How" she said in greeting.
He made no reply. only continued to
watch her steadily.
"How," she repeated and smiled.
His eyes instantly frightened.
You sickT' she asked, moving her
head sorrowfuIly In pantomime.
For answer he shambled closer and
held up first one naked foot and then
the other, like a suffering hound. Dali
las saw that they were sore from stone
bruises and bleeding from cactus
wounds.
"Oh, you're hurt!" she cried.
The Indian nodded and at once made
her dumb appeal. Lowering himself

General Scrap al Alex Last Night All
Quiet Today.

Report reached the U. S. Marshal's
office here BY telephone last night Of
general scrap at Alex and Deputy
Burke went to the scene this morn
ing expecting to bag the gay fellows,
but he found the little city all quiet
and serene, the trouble makers having
folded their tents like the Arabs and
quietly stolen away.
Six OF seven parties are supposed
to have engaged in the melee, which
was an all-round fist fight with a
few pistol shots. It.was reported that
one person was shot, but this seems to
have been incorrect. Booze played an
important part in the disturbance.
The participants all took to the woods
and the officers had been unable TO To-
cate them up to noon today Mr.,
Burke took charge of two joints which
had also been deserted.
