him a great satchel filed with gold.

He was all bruised and beaten up.
There was great cash in his skull.
All his old fire was gone. 1t ap-
peared that he had met his bitterest
enemy, one Lone Wolf. They had a
terrible fight. The skull blow had af-
fected the brain of Big Bear. He
seemed to have forgotten about his
mine. Like a faithful dog he took
up his home with the doctor and has
been with him ever since"
The story passed out of the mind of
the marshal almost Immediately for
he had busy day before him the

coming to town and the experienced
official knew that this event was like

There was to be a procession and
it came about with band of music in
the lead, then a dozen mounted In
dians. The sight was only moderate
ly attractive to the townspeople, for
cowboys and Indians were no novelty
to them.
On the present occasion, however,
there was an incident added not an
ticipated and more tragic and sensa-
tional than the fiercest play episode
on the program.
Big Bear had sat on a railing like
others casually reviewing the process
sion. Of a sudden as a big brawny
brave mounted on a mustang came
into view, there rang from his usually
placid lips a hair-raising yell:

lips. Then like a bloodhound he
reached the middle of the street in
four tremendous bounds.
With a spring he landed against the
painted brave on the mustang. He
tore him from the saddle. Both fell
to the street. There, rolling over and
over in a frightful fist battle, they
seemed like two rabid wolves, intent
only in ending struggle of desperate
strife and hatred in death.
Big Bear was foaming at the
mouth, his eyes glared with fury. His
enemy was armed, however, and he
was not. At his belt the show Indian
carried a short stone headed blud-
geon. He managed to free one hand.
The murderous weapon cut through
the air and Big Bear sank back with
a groan, his. head and face deluged
with blood.
His assailant, grim, gruff, taciturn,
refused to make any explanation. The
marshal had to admit that Big Bear
was the first assailant. The show

'1t must have been a sudden fit of
frenzy" said Doctor Wharton, but
two days later, after the show had
passed on to another town, he was
further startled and troubled.
Big Bear, under his surgical
charge, had disappeared in the night.
Then a week later he reappeared.
There was a lively new intelligence
in his face. Four rangers, rifle arm

BIGGEST STEAMSHIP
DRIFTED HELPLESSLY
Vaterland, $50 Feet Long, Broke
Away from the Tugs in New York
Harbor This Morning.

NEW YORK, May 21.-The giant
new liner Naterland broke away rom
tugs conveying. her to her docks today
and began drifting down the Hudson,
carried by the tide At times she
swung broadside across the river. In
the grip of the stong tide the big
steamship was almost helpless. The
Naterland of the Hamburg American
line is the biggest steamer in the world
and was arriving on her maiden voy-
age. She carried, including her crew,
5000 persons. She is $50 feet long
After the vessel had drifted more
than mile the tugs succeeded in gett-
ing her in tow
When the Naterland was headed in
for her high pier more than 80 tugs
had her in charge. AS her bow near
ed the pier the strong tide cut the
vessel at the turn and began to swing
her around, heading her straight for II
wooden pier nearby There was a
shouting of orders, the big whistle
hoGmed, and the hawsers on the tugs
let go.
The vessel began to back under her
own power and was soon out in the
stream almost directly in the path of
Lackawanaa ferry boat. The tugs
swarmed about her but were unable to
stop and get control of the big liner
until she was more than a mile down
stream.
