they were more decent than what she

SECOND EPISODE

She saw that the bed was empty, the
sleeping suit tossed aside, the din

Katca1anis heart beat with a new

begin his new chieftainship with an
act of courage. He would defy not
only the men, but even the women!
He seized Gloria's hand and shouted:
"If boy is squaw he is my squaw."
Gloria did not understand the mean

not endeared her to the Indian women
They murmured their wrath and would
have struck her down if Katcalani had

Shonolakee first went aside and

Caught in the Act

The police did a very ~cOmmendable
piece of work last night. Thursday, when
they rounded mp part of a gang OF the
worst young degererates that ever infest-
ed Penns Grove. They are mere boys,
10 to 10 years of age, yet they have sunk
to the lowest depths Of depravity.
Shortly after midnight the police in
patrolling Main Street noticed that the
lights usually left burning in the 5 and
Id cent store were out. They covered all
exits and entering caught the gang in the
act OF cleaning out the place. Their
clothiug was stuffed with plumber. One
OF them attempted to escape and the off,
Ger fred his revolver to intimidate him.
They destroyed a considerable quantity
OF goods and strewed the street on their
way to the lookup with stolen candy and
other articles from their pockets.
These hoodlnms have been arrested
three or four times quite recently for SIM
liar o~ffenses and the patience OF the Off
GERS is about exhausted. Recently while
in the lookup they destroyed nearly all
the bedding aud furniture in the place.
Those captured we're John Riley. Andrew
Ware, Edw. Mullin and VIM. Mililson.
Officers Jos. L. Money and Charles Nor

On Wednesday night the store Of AL
