HUNG ON WITH CRUSHED LEG
Man Swung From TrestIe With Bad
Wound to Avoid Further
Jury.

Cathlamet, Wash.-With one leg
crushed, 2. Gossard, a brakeman for
the Portland Lumber company, held
himself suspended from the ends Of
the ties of a 4O-fOot trestle to save
himself from being crushed by plung-
ing to the bottom of the canyon. The
accident occurred late the other after
noon, when the two engines were max
ing Il transfer of loads. A truck load
ed with logs jumped the track, throw
ing Gossard between the brakebeams,
crushing the leg so badly that the at
tending physician amputated it at
once.
To save himself from further injury,
the plucky man lowered himself over
the edge of the trestle and, despite his
injury, remained in that position sew
eral minutes until help arrived. He
was taken to a Portland hospital.

of the cabin.
"The presence of her grandfather
will give her courage" replied Hardy
SIT is necessary that she should be

ability or the honesty of her brother
Vandervyn shrugged, and said nc
more. Half an hour or so later he
asked permission to use Hardy's Der

on his saddle apd began to write. A
listener would have had need to be
near at hand to have heard the low
murmur of Redbear's and Oinna's
voices through the lo0phole above
Vandervyns head.
When Hardy returned from his ex.
animation of the upper works of the
mine, Vandervyn sealed in his pres
ence the two letters that he had writ
ten. They appeared decidedly thin, in
view of the time that Vandervyn had
spent in his writing and the number
of sheets of paper gone from the pad
But Hardy did not observe this. His
attention had been diverted by large
party of Indians that had appeared
on the velvety green meadows of the
valley bottom.
The tribal council had begun to as
semble. This time the chiefs and
headmen did not come alone. From
far camps as well as near, the mer
of the tribe were bringing their fami
lies to see the LOngknife chief whom
they had first hated but now believed
to be their friend and father. BY
noon their numbers had grown from
scores to hundreds.
Shortly after the midday meal one
OF the Indian policemen brought WORD
up to :he cabin that the head chief
had arrived and the council was
ready to ta.S with the agent. Hardy
at once gave command to mount. As
soon as Hardy lad Vandervyn started
to ride down the slope, Oinna slipped
out, and held her brothers pony fol
him. She then mounted her own, anC
rode after him.
At the foot of the slope the riders
came out through grove of young
quaking asps into sudden view of thu
picturesque and imposing tribal coun
Gil. Fully half the tribe had gathered
together for the occasion. All up ant
down the valley the meadows were
dotted with their ponies. The Indian!
were assembled in a dense crowd

BACK ON SOCIETY
Wealthy st. Louis Matron Is
Touched by the Misery Z
Around Her.
TO TRY CHARITY WORK
Young and Pretty Woman Decides
That Her Lies Work Must Be
That of Caring for Poor
and Needy.

st. LOuis-Mrs. Lucille Bernheimer
Lowenstein, wealthy young widow
of this city, who has been spending her
time and money freely in helping to
prepare a code of state laws that will
govern with kindly and sympathetic
interest the lives and deStinieS of des-
titute children, the deaf, feeble-mind-
ed the delinquent, insane and others
of the less fortunate members of the
human family, chose the work of char
ity above that of society, rounds OF
pleasure and a life of luxuriant ease,
simply because she was touched by
the misery that she saw about her and
decided that her life would be devoted
to the dispensing of aid and the adj
ministering of philanthropy.
Prepares for the Work.
In order to prepare herself for the
work, Mrs. LOwenstein studied for two
years in the New York School of Social
Economy to perfect herself for work
in her chosen field. Returning to her
native city, she plunged into the study
of conditions existing among the poor
and friendless, fOrsaking all social
functions, parties and entertainments
in order that she might devote all her
time to the work she had undertaken.
Mrs. Lowenstein says:
ave are working toward an end that
will mean salvation for the children of
the poor and of the delinquents. They
will have a chance to become useful
citizens. Their education will be cared
for and everything possible will be
done to give them the right outlook

a lOw-grOwfng tree, and soon both
were seemingly fast asleep.
After several minutes Vandervyn
spoke to his companion in low tone.
Hardy did not answer. Vandervyn
drew out his pipe and struck a match.
He held the flame above Hardy's face.
The eyes were closed, and the severe,
half-melancholy expression of the
harsh features was relaxed as If in
heavy slumber.
Vandervyn extinguished the match,
and slipped out of his blankets. Noise
lessly he crept down to the cabin
and around to the door. 1t was barred
on the inside. He tapped on it.
There was a sliding sound within
the cabin. and the heavy door began
to swing inward. Vandervyn put his
foot on the threshold to enter. A.
the same moment a sinewy hand
gripped his shoulder and jeied him
away. He cursed, and clapped his
hand to his holster as he whirled
about. 1t was empty. He bent for

RAGGED DRESS HELD 81 ,99l
Mary Novak, Who Didn't Believe in
Banks, Hoarded Small Fortune
Though She Appeared Poor.

Cleveland.-Twenty years ago Mary
Novak came to this country from Bo-
hemia. She went to work in the rag
factories here, and had been toiling
there until few days ago. She always
seemed to be poor, and as old age crept
up she grew more needy. At last she
was committed to the Warrensville in
Urinary.
Mary wept when they took away her
old ragged dress and offered her
clean one. She said the old was good
enough and she wanted to keep it.
When the ragged dress was ripped
open, the reason for the woman's at
tachment to it was discovered. Out
dropped $1,991 in small, dirty bills.
Then Mary was given guardian for
her estate.

you had let the killer escape"
Couldn't" tersely replied Wander
vyu. "He was blood-mad-would have
got Charlie and me, too, If we hadn't
got him."
THAT was self-defense," said Har-
dy. 'Tt has been greed and dishonesty,
though, that have prompted you to
conceal from me the facts that led up
to the killing. Aside from the danger
to me, you have permitted the tribe to
verge upon an uprising that would
have compelled their pacification by
the war department. All this that you
might steal the ore of this mine"
Steal our own ore?" beloved Du-
,nnt ssVouiro rJumh lNoOpd 10
Not so loud, If you please" quietly
replied Hardy. "The ore is not
yours"
That's all you know about It," blus-
tered the trader. "Ain't one Of the
discoveries and locators Of the lode?"
THE lode is not subject to location.
1t is on Indian land"
"What if it is? Amt 1 member Of
the tribe?"
1.-The tribal land has not yet been
allotted in severalty. Every square
foot of ground on the reservation be-
longs to the tribe as whole. No one
member can hold individual title to
any Of It," ..---..
well, what of it," demanded Du-
pont, far from silenced. "If the tribe
wants to work the mine, and they want
me and Mr.. Van to manage it for them
and buy the ore, what in hell have you
got to say about it?" ....t.
Nothing at present" answered
Hardy. ''If the tribe consents, shall
make no objection. You will be able
to cheat them Of only few thousand
dollars before the new treaty is con-
summated and all this mineral land
opened to location and entry under the
mining laws" E. ~
The veins on Vandervyn's crimsoned
forehead were swollen and pulsating
with his furious anger. He spoke in
a high, airy tone: $50 you are going
to pull wires to get our mine taken
away from us?"
II shall see that justice is done to-
ward the tribe" said Hardy, and he
fXed the younger man with glance
that compelled him to blink and look
aside. .-s "

scorn and anger burst out in a storm
of passion: fa' l... ..a-

"Yet when the reservation is thrown
open for entry, someone else who
never saw the mine may slip in ahead
of us and jump it," said Vandervyn.
'"That is something cannot pre-
vent" said Hardy.
You can!" contradicted Marie.
The chiefs will not insist on the new

The girl turned her back upon him
in open disdain. He raised his hat to
white, but his shoulders squared back
and his head very erect.
