 "BVt your love-that goes where it pleases."
 You won't come to see her"
 "It wouldn't help. But I'll be here every night"
 She retreated again. He did not at- tempt to follow.

 The moon was drifting up the east. ern sky, and as she went her shadow pursued her. He watched until 1t blended with the shadow of the shack, then walked far to the left and laid out beat that half circled the squat building.
 There's just one man I got to look out for" he said aloud. Tt d be diff ferent if I had to worry about h. dians."
 That moment across the river in the lodge of Standing Buffalo the young chieftain was bending over an un- covered box, holding in one hand the shaft of an arrow, on the end of which was a piece of freshly killed dog; in the other hand he held a willow wand, sharpened. Beneath him, crawling and coiling and singing, were Lieuten- ant Fraser's rattlers.
 The Indian kept the shaft to one side while he diligently prodded the reptiles with the willow. When he had enraged them so that they began to strike blindly at each other and at themselves he lowered the shaft and let them drive their fangs into the meat. And when they were spent with their anger and springing he GOV cred the box and held up the flesh, which had turned from red to green and was dripping dark with venom. Then into it he began thrusting the points of quiver of arrows.

Nurses Dread Lightning.

Of all people who are glad when the season of thunderstorms is past, none are more thankful than professional nurses.
 Tt isn't that we are so afraid of lightning ourselves" said a nurse in Rooscvelt hospital. ''but it has harm fuI effect on our patients Most sick people have an unreasonable fear Of lightning. Tn cases of extreme weak ness or nervousness a dozen flashes Of blinding lightning reduce the patient to such a state of prostration that it takes extraordinary efforts on the part of the nurse to bring him around If one sick person requires all that extra attention in a thunderstorm. just i'm agine the pTedictmeat of the nurse who has a whole ward full of them on her hands.

bssssssS lee, to be safe from the swarms E9 of pestering mosquitoes, sat the hostage braves. Their pipe smoke blended with the smoke of the fire. Their loud gibberish was broken only when shrieks of laughter followed a sally of wit Their black eyes spar kled. Their white teeth flashed.
 Before them were their sons, now romping with the favored dogs of the pack, now gathering to watch a wres- ting match between a chosen couple, again lining the way while several raced down the inclosure.
 The squaws and girls were also out side the lodges, the July night being hot. They cackled together to the windward side of the lordly males and did not approach except to throw more wet sticks upon the smolder.
 The outcast watched the jollity from his dark corner and marveled at it, for were there not two tragedies ! threatening, either of which should properly lay hard upon the hearts of the village?
 One was the nearing execution of the four condemned. Two sleeps ago, on the arrival of a runner from tho absent cavalry, a wood wagon had hauled sev- eral loads of lumber to the site of the pony corral. From that lumber-it was said openly, and he had told it in sign language to the braves-was to be built a scaffold!
 The other tragedy lowered in the ill., ness of Brown Mink. Since her lodge had been placed against the upper curve of the pen there had been>much singing, conjuring, dancing and beating of drums. But to no purpose. Daily she wasted. She was dying!
 He was not allowed to see her, to tend her fire or clean her kettle. When on her removal he had dared to stop at her tent flap with a string of pike, Afraid-of-a Pawn swooped down upon him, her long tushes clicking and frOth- ing, snatched the wall eyes from his hold and belaSOred him with them. He had not gone back. But in secret he trieved over Brown Mink's suffering. and often he petitiOned in her behalf and lifted his worshiping vine toward the Milky Way.
 Tn his sorrow his shoulders were bent lower than ever. his ebOn eyes were more dogiike. yet he still dream cd of reinstatement. for he saw, though he could not understand 1t, that the warriors were again counting on escape.
 They were unkempt no longer, but wore their hair neatly braided and well greased. They ate sparingly and only twice a day. They almost for swore 4ter. And by covert exercise they trained away their flesh Stand ing Buffalo and his naughty comrades did not waddle now under a weight of fat. As on the day of their capture they were lank and stately

 Thomas Miller, wire worker, of Sf East Clay street, Waterbury, Conn.,, says: "I was laid up with my back and had to quit work. I was suffer- ing pains through the loins and could hardly get out of bed in the morning. Besides the weakness I felt frequent shooting pains through the loins and the medicines 1 had been taking had no more effect than so much water.

CHELSEA PARK DELAYED.
Work of Clearing Site Not Going
On Fast Enough.

The delay in the work the proposed Chelsea
Park 9th and 2Sth streets between Ninth and
Tenth avenues has brought forth considerable
criticism dissatisfied residents of that district
A movement recently started by the Hudson
Guild Settlement and the societies of st. Vincent
de Paul to Investigate the cause of the delay. A
letter from Deputy Controller Phillip said the con-
tractors are required to finish their work or re-
moving the Instructions from the site OF the pro-
posed park before the Park Department can pro-
Ceed with the work OF Improvement, which means
the completion of the park According TO MT
Phillip. the contractors work was TO have been
finished yesterday. 1t is not believed that the work
of Improvement by the Park Department can be
begun for time.
One of those who investigated the cause OF the
delay stated yesterday that since the work OF
razing the buildings finished a few months
ago :he task of clearing the cellars had proceeded
very slowly. AT present only two Of these collars
cleared of the debris. 1t Is further asserted
that the children of that district have to pass
the park site on their way to school, the work OF
removing the debris If allowed to drag along until
fall will a menace the health and comfort or
the children
The proposed Chelsea Park is pet scheme OF
Alderman Bowling. When asked last night about
the complaints at the delay in the Work ne salu ne
had not observed any considerable delay In the
work raZinG the buildings and removing the
debris. He has been Ill and confined TO his house
for the last five weeks, and has not been able 10
follow the work Just as he is aple 10 get
