those who knew him as one of the
most promising young dentists in the

going home to die now. boys. There is
no use fighting any longer"

to pay his expenses. and succeeded in
becoming connected with the bureau
of the Central Office of the Police De-
partment. When he began to get pa
tients. he continued his studies in
George Washington University and al
Police Department. With the three
occupations he sometimes worked
nineteen and twenty hours a day and
the physicians who have attended him
know that this incessant work IS
what brought on the fatal disease.

HOW AUDREY CAPTURED THE INDIANS.

fort In a few minutes" Then Audrey
heard the men walk away.
She peeped over the wall and there on
the ground was bit of paper. She
picked 1t up and found II was written
account OF the entire plan made out by
the chief to show 70 his followers, and
he did not know that he had dropped
It. The girl hid 1t in her dress and
few back to the stand, which was
packed with the men and ladies Of the
fort.
She realized just what it meant that
she had heard-the Indians intended to
attack the whites when the soldieis
were unarmed, while they had the rifles
which they were to use in the shooting
contest What was to be done? Her
father had just gone from the stand
and all were waiting for her to give
the signal for the rifie-shooting contest
to begin. She was afraid to stop the
game, for the Indians would suspect
they were found out in their plan.
Everything seemed to swim before her
eyes as she gazed down the long green
hill which sloped away from the fort
gate. Then an idea came to her-there
was an easy way to capture the entire
band. She stood up on the bench and
holding in her left hand her tiny gold
watch. said: a.
before the rife shooting begins there
will be running match. 1 will throw
this ball out through the gate. 1t will
roll down the hill-the first man to bring
1t back gets the watch" g
a red ball. which she held in her right
hand. far out Of the fort gate and
watched 1t bouncing down the steep
hill. And after 1t dashed the entire
tribe of Indians. yelling at the top OF
their voices.
"Quick. quick, read this" she cried
to an officer at her side. handing him
the note written by Red Thunder. The
Indians mean to attack us-call the en-
tire fort to arms and we can capture
them on their return. They have left
their guns under the trees here"
The officer shouted orders. in a few
moments every man of the fort was
lined up with his gun loaded and a
troop OF cavalry came dashing from the
stables. Just then the Indians came
running in the gate.
Take them all prisoners" ordered
the officer and in a moment every In
dian was seized by two soldiers.
So. that was the way little. Audrey's
quick wit saved the fort. And the very
next week the soldiers gave her
beautiful pony. while Congress sent her
big, gold medal in the shape of ball.
