A moment and l will explain-once we
are beyond the stream. Now l must

We advanced through the woods
down a slight incline, the Indians NOV
ing like SC many phantoms. Not a
branch ratified as they glided silently
forward, not a leaf rustled beneath
the soft tread Of moccasined feet.
D'Artigny led me by the hand, aiding
me to move quietly over the uneven
ground, but made no effort to speak.
Beside US, not unlike a shadow, strobe
the chief Sequitah, his stern face up
lifted, Swallowed by long black hair, a
rifle grpped in his sinewy arms. We
crossed the little river, D'Artigny bear
ing me easily in his grasp, and, on the
opposite shore, waited for the others
to follow. They came, a long line of
dark, shadowy forms, wading cautious
ly through the shallow water, and
ranged themselves just below the bank,
many still standing in the stream.
What light there was fickered over
naked bodies, and revealed savage eyes
cleaning from out masses Of black
hair.
D'Artigny stepped forward on the
exposed root of q tree to where he
could see his dusky followers, and La
Forest climbed the bank and Joined
him. A moment the two men con-
ferred, turning about to question Sc
quitah. AS they separated I could dis
tinguish D'Artigny's final words.
"very we'll, then, If it is your wish

There was no time lost, although l
know but little of what occurred, be-
ing left alone there while La Forest
and D'Artigny divided the men, and
arranged the plans Of advance. The

giving swift orders, or calling to this
or that individual through the gloom.
A party tramped by me, and disap-
peared, twenty or more naked war
riors, headed by a b~lack-bearded
Frenchman, bearing a long rihe-the
detachment, no doubt, dispatched to
guard the slope east Of the trail, and
hurried forth to cover the greater dis
lance. Yet these could have scarcely
advanced far through that jungle
when the others were also in line, wait
ing the word.
The very silence in which all this
was accomplished, the noiseless bodies,
the almost %breathless attention, scarce
~ enabled me to realize the true mean
ing of It all. These men were going
into battle, into a death grapple. They
meant to attack FIVE times their own
number. This was no boys play: 1t
was war, savage, relentless war. The
stern horror Of 1t seemed to suddenly
grip me as with icy fingers. Here was
what I had read of, dreamed Of, being
enacted before my very eyes. l was
even a part Of 1t, for ! was going with
them to the field Of blood.
Yet how different everything was
from those former pictures Of imagina-
ton. There was no noise, no excite
ment, no shrinking-just those silent,
motionless men standing in the posi-
tons assigned to them, the dim light
cleaning on their naked bodies, their
ready weapons.

Sequitah took his place, not two yards
from me, standing like a statue. his
face stern and ~emotionless. Out Of

an instant before the chief.

NEED OF Constructive Legislation.
Just before the European war broke
out we had a million skilled mechan-
les out Of work and nearly half a mill
lion railroad men were idle, together
with nearly half a million freight cars.
The railroads were suffering from
lack of freight to carry to market, and
industry was gradually becoming
stagnant. In Louisiana two hundred
thousand acres Of sugar land were
plowed up because of Democratic
changes in the tariff law. It is gen.
orally conceded by all save the blind
that the country was not progressing.
Attempts were made to keep courage
up by the predictions made by Secre-
taries McAdoo and Redfeld and Presi-
dent Wilson of the great trade booms
which were soon to appear but which
failed to materialize until the outbreak

Charles e. Hughes, the Republican
candidate, recognizes an important
fact that Woodrow Wilson, the Demo-
cratic president, appears to have
overlooked-that the United States is
big enough to help Mexico out of the
condition of anarchy In which that
country is plunged and, by securing
order in Mexico, insure peace on our
border.

COON
Furnishes All Manner Of Fun for
North Side Residents Who En-
gage in Merry Chase
Friday Night

A chicken-stealing coon, escaped
from captivity in the yard of Brook
Ransom, furnished residents of the
north side an exciting chase Friday
evening when small boys with dog,
professed to be a professional coon
hunter, composed the vanguard Of a
crowd of neighbors of both sexes who
enjoyed the chase to the utmost.
The coon was located in the garage
of w. e. Seton and efforts to dislodge
it from this place of retreat were fin
ally successful. It could not be cap
tured, however, and the procession
chased up and down alleys, through
dark back-yards until the coon was
finally "treed" on the Gorsuch prop
erty, Pleasant street.
Brook Ransom, owner of the ami
NAL, succeeded in wrapping a whip
about its neck and pulling it to the
ground 1t was conducted back to its
place of confinement in the Ransom
coop, there to be watched all the

TOO SALTY FOR cANNIeALs
CChicaRo Herald1


Salt is the greatest enemy of man
kind, according to DR.. Charles Wood
ward, of the Illinois State Eclectic
Medical Society, which is holding its
forty-sixth annual convention at the
Hotel LaSalle. Every modern human
being is picked in brine until his
health is ruined and he is brought to
an untimely grave. We eat so much
salt that the cannibals, with a natur-
al appetite, cannot eat US.
The idea that we must fill every
article of food with salt is a most
dangerous fallacy," said DR.. Wood
ward. every man needs 20 grains of
salt in a day-he gets about 400. This
means that his tissues are invaded
by surplus Of salt, which cannot be
eliminated The result is a hundred
ailments. The excess salt and nothing
else, for instance, causes old people
to have such brittle bones that if they
stumble over something they break
leg or an arm.
"The human race has become the
victim Of salt. In single bowl Of
restaurant soup the poor devil who
has to eat it gets at least five times
as much salt as he should have in a
whole day. The uncivilized man will
not touch our food-cannot eat our de-
licacies because they are too salty.
The South Sea Island cannibals never
eat white man, and the explanation
given by them is that the white men
are too salty"
