For love, Miss Kane went round

Two years ago Tuxedo Park. that
exceedingly exclusive colony In The
Ramapo Hills. was shaken to its
foundations. II had a delectabIe
morsel OF gossip to roll under it's

iy heartless daughter OF the house
OF Kane, acknowledged to being in
love with Mr.. Baker. heir to hun
dred millions. and chief bachelor of
the colony.
The Grenville Kanes are charter
members Of Tuxedo Park. Mr.. Kane
and Mr.. Pierre Lorillard originated
the idea of starting a country resort
where their children might grow up
far from the city. They organized
a company, and for all these years
the most rigid rules have been OBJ
served.
When George F. Baker. ST., the
president OF the First National
Bank. came to live at Tuxedo, he
was received with open arms.
George, Jr.. Immediately Joined in

When young Baker returned from
Harvard he was twenty.three years
old and one OF the biggest matri-
monsal priSes In New York society.

But George loved all the girls so

George would never marry, Mama
Baker rejoiced az every year closed
and George was left minated.
The years which left George, Jr,
bachelor were dealing most de-
lightfully with the girls OF the Kane
family. Now the Kane family has
always been an institution In this
tight little resort Of the Ramapos,
their love AFFAIRS closely watched,
their beauty gloated over.
When Edith came out-she vas

liant marriage was predicted. She
was a brilliant success socially and
opera hostesses literally fought

prize beauty.
She turned a cold but beautiful
shoulder TO all lovers.
What can Edith be waiting
for?" asked society. There was
young Malcolm Sloane, her own
age, and heir TO the, fabulous
sloane-Yanderbilt fortunes; he was
mad about her. And there were
others.
Even Mrs. Kane despaired. And

Red-Blooded American Heroes
A CHIEF WHO BECAME CIVILIZED

One summer day in the fall of
1887, a band OF Indians sneaked
near Parker's fort in Texas, and
kidnapped Cynthia Ann Parker, a
nine-year-old white child.
For many years her parents
searched for her among the In
dian tribes unsuccessfully. At
last they thought she must be
dead.
In the meantime the white girl
grew into young womanhood, and
at last her parents and her peo-
pie were but hazy memory. One
day when she was about eighteen
years old she stood under the for
est trees, and with Indian rites
was married to Chief No-co-na. a
boy baby was born to them and
was called Quanah Parker, but
shortly afterward the mother was
found by the white people and
taken home, where, separated
from her husband and baby, she
died in grief.
Quanah grew to be a STURDY
boy. and by virtue of his deeds
| of valor and his daring he was
made chief of the Comanches. For
many years he fought the white
Ipeople, burning their villages and
killing their people, but at last
even the dreaded Comanches were
forced to succumb to superior
forces and were compelled to lay
down their arms before the
whites.
Then all was changed. Their
wars, and their hunting gone, the
redskins could but turn to culti-
waiting the soil. 1t was then that
the white blood of Chief Parker,
and his true heroic qualities as
serted themselves. Always lead
err, he now became a father to his
|people. He learned the white
mans language, and taught his
Ipeople the useful arts of civiliza-
tion. For many years he lived on
his ranch near Cache, Oklahoma,
where he died only. a few weeks
ago. He was buried near the
whose honor he had caused a fine
monument to be erected only a
short time before.
Quanah Parker was twice a
hero-a hero of war, and a hero
of peace, and his great work In
Teaching his people to live in
peace with their white neighbors,
gives him permanent place in
the history of our country. The
Indians of the Southwest lose
their best friend in the passing of
the last of the great Indian
chiefs.
