"In 1904 the number was 100000,
and these were all for table USE Last
year an increase of about 10 per cent
in this number was reported. The
pheasant is a table luxury, and in Eng
land, France, Germany and Belgium
they are reared by the thousands.

infancy. In ten years, however, lie
may be producing enough to supply
the local demand and prices will be
cheaper than now. The cheapest one
can be purchased now is about 81, and
from that figure up to $40 or SIS is de-
manded.
''The English and the Monaghan
pheasants are game birds, and an in
creasing demand for them for pre-
serves of clubs and wealthy owners of
country seats is noted. We have one
breeder in the East who supplies from

''The pheasant is a beautiful bird,

Their plumage is in good demand
for millinery purposes. Taxidermists
pay as high as So and $40 for the skins
of the best marked birds.
There are varieties of pheasants
that are purely ornamental. They ap-
peal neither to the cook nor to the
hunter.
"Pheas;>nts cost most in the winter

some anxiety. But how pitifully short
they fall of their ancestors.
An Indian uprising used to strike
terror through the West. Before it's
suppression it meant inevitably, many
lives taken, but the worst the present
savages dare has been to steal and
kill cattle in defiance of the law. On
a pretext such as theirs-that they
were forced to leave their reservation
the Apaches, the Sioux, the Arapa-
hoes, the Comanches or the Cheyennes
would have spread a revolt that would
have converted the disturbed district
into a shamble for a time. Other
tribes would have flashed to their res.
cue and in the olden days it would
have taken some such sturdy Indian
fighter as Gen. Miles to go out and re-
store peace.
But the romance is gone now. The
Indian is reformed. The Carlisle and
other Indian schools have taken many
braves off the trail. And others who
scorn chances of education have new
ertheless been able to learn the lesson
Of fear, and shrink from the hopeless
conflict with Uncle Sans soldiers.
In the talk of peace parleys it is
significant OF the degeneration and
changed conditions that the Utes turn
to Sioux, American Horse, to repre-
sent them in their conference with the
government. Three decades ago,
American Horse was one of the bold
est leaders the warlike Indians had.
Often he fought the soldiers, and many
a white mans scalp took it's place at
his belt. But he has learned the les
son of the times, and now conducts a
line Of freight wagons between Rush
vile, Neb., and the Pine Ridge reser-
walton. He is still the vigilant cham

last feeble effort of the Utes, comes to
Geronimo, now prisoner of war, what
memories must it bring back to the
grim old Apache with the cruel fea-
lures, thin mouth, eyes like the blade
OF sword, whose bloodthirsty~career
was only ended when he was captured
by Gen. Miles.
Even as late as his time the In
dians gave the government serious
trouble, and when it placed Geronimo
prisoner at Fort Sill, it felt that a
great advance had been made for the
peace of the West.
In 1876 occurred the Sioux war, for
ever notable as the occasion for the
battle of the Little Big Horn, an Incl
dent familiar to every schoolboy.
The Sioux had violated a treaty by
which they agreed to abandon certain
lands, and in the summer of 1875 a
force Of regulars, under Generals Ter
| ry and Crook, were sent into the
Black Hills to drive the redskins back
to the reservation.
Generals Custer and Reno were sent
forward to Ind the exact location OF
the Indians. The gallant Custer, who
| had had a fine record in the War OF
the Rebellion, declined to await rein
| forcements, and attacked the Indians
on June o.
The force of the enemy many times
| exceeded his own, but the intrepid
hero rocked nothing of consequences.
The act was brave, but foolhardy,
| for while the exact details Of the bat
tie are not known, every man, includ-
| ing Custer himself, was killed, the
massacre continuing even after the
whites were hopelessly defeated.
The Indian leaders in that last great
redskin success were Sitting Bull and
Crazy Horse. 49,

practically, the end of the

boats, and did their best. The crew
was composed chiefly of Lascars-and
you can't trust Lascars. There was
trouble. Fortunately, the wind chose
to depart as violently as it had come;
and three little boats bobbed up and
down throughout that long night in
comparative safety They reached
land at about four in the morning. It
was miraculous escape, said Wharf
But Robinetta didn't say anything at
ALL"
How could she, poor thing?"
Even at that moment she must
have been making her pans. Why
did she select Vibart's boat, when
there were two others? Why did she
allow him to wrap her up in tarpaul
ms, and generally fuss round her?
She belonged to Williamson the
Co., and ought to have gone with the
Lascars, if she had any sense of Ell
quette. She dropped into Vibart's arms
quite naturally, however, and allowed
him to carry her to the shore. Then
she collapsed"
Didn't he rather enjoy ,:t?" ques-
toned Kitty.
"Vibart has never expressed himself
to me fully on the point, said.
;"Anyway, there they were on a
strange shore, under a pitchy sky, wet
through and through-unarmed, and
with a crowd of uncouth brown men
gibbering round about them. In all,

tinued, sometimes. If my dear old

''1he same" I said, gravely. "You
only know the fatal conclusion of his
romance. I will now relate to you
the astonishing and particular details
Of it.
"Vibart's story is curious in many
ways" I began. Il ought to call it
Robinetta Crusoe'-and send it to
the Daily Wire. " However, you must
picture Wharf on board the good ship
