Want to Rent Old Castle?

II anybody wants to buy ruined
castle, described as "of great histor-
zeal and romantic history" now is their
chance, according to advertisements in
serted III the British papers.
II IS not exactly modern. dating. as
It does. from 1866, and the advertiser
states that considerable outlay will
be required to reconstruct it," The
purchaser is assured, however, that it
reconstructed, "a unique and charming
home would result"
Nothing is said about ghosts but It
stands to reason that a castle of this
age must have large. and lively flock
OF such insects. So here's chance for
some of Americas millionaires to ac-
quire at small cost castle-and all
that goes with it.
An added inducement is that there is
good trout fishing near by, so that
when tired of gazing at his unique and
charming home the purchaser can rest
his mind by going fishing.

INDIAN THIEF HAD INGENUITY
Remarkably Clever strata1em BY
Which Pieean Escaped With HIs
Booty Of Stolen Ponies.

| Among the many interesting stories
fold by members OF the Canadian
mounted police Is one that has to do
with the cleverness Of an Indian.
One snowy morning band Of Crecs
awoke to find that about dozen OF
their ponies had been stolen during the
night. A band to go In pursuit was
Immediately organized, and in the
course of an hour the trail was struck.
The band followed it for thirty miles
or more. till it entered n river and
headed for a little wooded Island
Smoke was rising from the trees, ard
an opening, apparently the mouth Of
cave, was in plain view. Presently
Piegan Indian showed himself In
front Of the opening At his heels was
a dog.
Pretty soon the dog scented the
Crees, who We're lying low, and began
growing and barking. The Piegan look
ed up, glanced about him for a moment
and then instantly entered the cave.
II. about ten seconds. another Piegan
came round the rocks and also went
In; then another, and another and an
other. The Crees lay silently in the
bushes, counting, till upward of fifty
Piegans had come round the rocks and
gone into the cave, and still they kept
coming. Each carried a rifle.
When at last seventy men had disap- |
peared in the cave, the superstitious /
and cautious Crees concluded that the |
evil spirit had something to do with
II. So thoroughly We're they filed with
this idea that even when re-enfOrce.
ments came, which was in few hours,
they We're reluctant to attack the
island.
That night, however, one Cree, less
II eduIous than the others. crossed over
The ice to investigate. On approach
ng the supposed cave, he found that
I was no cave at all, but simply an
opening leading some ten feet into the
'Ock, where ii made turn and came
mt on the other side.
There was the remnant of Il single
amp fire, the ponies were gone and
lot an Indian was in sight. The in
'enious Piegan thief, by making the
ircuit of the passage, and the end OF
he island seventy times, had so de.
eived his pursuers as to gain the
line necessary for his escape.
