and higher, until the summit of
the ridge is reached, pass the
willy marauders quickly with their lit
tie white captive. But she has not
submitted to her captivity without a
struggle. Lifted ON the back of her
captor, that they may advance more
rapidly, she takes a PIN from her gar
ment, the only weapon at her COM
mand, and with it time and again
pricks the shoulders of her onward
striding bearer, crying "Let me go!
Let me go!" eyes, yes" he replies,
having evidently picked up some Eng
lish words during former peaceful as
sociations with the white people, but
paws no further heed to her request.
Irritated at last beyond even his stoi-
cal endurance, he throws her down
and takes from her all the pins ne can
find. Then, shaking his tomahawk
at her, and pointing to his scalping
knife, he shoulders her again, and she
understands the threat and realizes
that there is no hope for her release.

- some hardy and industrious
German and Swiss settlers have locat-
ed their little cabins, and are endeav-
oring to reclaim a part of the forest
wilderness, and make it available for
cultivation. All around them are for
est-covered heights looming up in
wild grandeur, and the whole region
abounds in most romantic scenery.
Immense cliffs Of solid rock in some
places rise like impossible barriers, or
tall and jagged monoliths stand like
monuments of the convulsions and
titanic forces of past ages. Mountain
streams rush noisily over their rocky
beds, or fall in glistening sheets over
the boulders that hem their course;
while along their banks, and in all
moist and shady places, bordering the
vast thickets of underground, and
nesting at the base of crag and boul-
der, beds of the finest moss and grace
full ferns help to soften the rugged
aspect of the scene. A thick forest OF
trees, interspersed here and there with
the graceful spruce, hemlock or larch,
yields open spaces now and then for
the pink and white blooming noun
tain laurel, and the lowlier blossoms
of natures wild-fower garden.
The brave pioneers love their noun
tain-homes, and by patient and per-
sistent toll have succeeded in laying
the foundations of comfort and plenty
for their families. Their wants are
few and simple, and therefore easily
supplied by the vigorous arms that
contend with the natural difficulties
of their situation.
But these are not the only difficult
ties that beset their lives. There are
hostile Indians in close proximity to
these outposts of civilization, and 1T
REQUIRES constant vigilance to guard
against their sudden and murderons
incursions. The rifle is as essential
a part of the settlers outfit as the
plow, and even that does not always
serve to protect him from the willy and
cruel savage.
1t was about the year 1850 when one
of these settlers arrived with his fam
ilv at the foot of the Catoctin noun
tains, spur of the Blue Ridge, in
Frederick county, Maryland; coming
as so many did, from previous home
in PENNSYLVANIA. There were no wag-
on roads in the mountains, and they
were compelled to leave their wagons,
and transport their goods on pack
horses or on wooden sleds to the spot
which they had selected for home
With the help of neighbors, always
ready to assist one another in such re
gions, trees are felled, logs are dress
ed, a log house is built, some rude fur
niture is made, and all goes well for
next few years.
But with the breaking out of the
French and Indian War the situation
becomes more perilous, especially at
ter Braddock's defeat, and the retreat
of his army. Only few months later
there are such persistent rumors OF
incursions by the Indians, that the
family leava their mountain home,
and repair for greater safety to a
house about two miles from the foot

POLICE TEACH MEXICAN SOME LESSONS IN LOVE

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 3.-Love-mak ing in the land of the Hot Tamale' and the same thing under Uncle Sam s flag are entirely different things. Down in Mexico if a young swain sees a lady on the street whose ac- quaintance he desires to make it is all right for him to follow her home at a respectful distance. By this means he learns her address and can seek a formal introduction.
 l. Not so in the U. s. A. Abel Reyes found this out when he was arraigned for annoying two young women on the streets here
 They told the judge Reyes did not attempt to speak to them, but '-o--' lowing them. Reyes said he intend ed no harm, but was merely trying to find out where the ladies lived, so he might become acquainted with them as was customary in Mexico.
 He was admonished to learn the customs of the United States and was fined $11.

FAN RAVINGS

Sweet patooty!
 Five to nawthink.
 Five to wan and
 Four to three!
 The above scores show that the An chorage fans have been treated to a swell dose of the national pastime. If anyone doubts the above statement we hereby duly challenge them to a duel,say, pop guns at ten paces.
 Before the sad catastrophy to An chorage, Nenana wired to the local manager, they would play the Cor dova team if they could win one game from Anchorage. Now they wire and guarantee thousand cold, round iron men. As Joe Ryan says, Let's go!'
 Nenana says, go get reputation be- fore we play you,
 Can you beat it!
 Evidently they are satisfied Cor dova can play ball.
 This ought to be bear of a series as Nenana is highly touted. Yes, the same as Anchorage was.
 That $1000 guarantee sounds like the good old days are back again.

T. B. SEAL SALE
NEEDS SOME PEP

Oklahoma City, Dec. 21-Here's
a call for some pep. The Fifteenth
Annual Seal Sale in Oklahoma is in
its mid-month doldrums, Officials of
the Oklahoma Public Health Associa-
tion believe.
Returns from the letters mailed q
majority of the citizens in the state
are not encouraging. Oklahoma City
returns are slow in coming. While
officials expect a big increase in
sales in the last week and as Christ
mas nears they point out every effort
must be put for the to keep the sale
going "strong" between times. Sue
cess or failure of the sale and conse-
quent curtailment or expansion OF
the great humanitarian campaign for
health in the state next year may de-
pend on the efforts put forth by
workers in the next week and on the
generosity of the public during that
time.
Hundreds of letters are being re.
turned to the state office with the
Seals enclosed instead of money.
"Oklahomans must realize the nee
essity for health work." officials said
ut is work which must go on. Give
today and give literally"

BOLD ROBBERY AT
THE DENVER MINT

Probably the boldest robbery of
record was pulled in Denver Monday,
when auto bandits stole 100000 in
five dollar bills which was being
taken from the mint to a Federal
Reserve Bank truck, and got away
with the loot after gun battle.
The Banks truck had driven to the
mint and parked. Mint employees
and bank employees heavily guarded
carried the currency out of the mint
to place in the truck. when the ban
dit car drove up, and when the ban
dts covered all mint and bank en-
ployees and forced them to place tho
money in their car instead Of the one
intended to receive it. Some one shot
once, in a second every window and
door of the mint was the scene of
men shooting at the bandits, as we'll
as the outside bank employees. The
bandits returned the fire, badly
wounded two bank men, and escaped,
themselves unhurt.
Rewards aggregating $4,000 are
offered for the bandits dead or alive
The bandits are believed to be in
Denver and the police instructions
are to shoot at sight and shoot to
kill them.

to consumers at Drumright, Oklaho-
ma, in the center of the gas field,
Mayor Nicodemus of that city took
matters into his own hands last week,
when winter settled about the city and
no gas pressure was available. He
declared an emergency, hired a lot
of man and promptly tapped the high
pressure lines of the Oklahoma Nat
ural Gas Company, which line was
used to send gas to many other
towns. The gas was turned into the
mains of the local company, and the
people had gas for warmth and cook
ing.
The Oklahoma Natural Gas Com
pany promptly branded the action as
robbery. the same as the breaking in

Texas, they unwittingly drove up
within fifty yards of where a fuse
