In the end they let the freighttraln go on without a fight. And the freighters moved, taking it for granted ‘that the Indians had made way with me. “Well, we went into camp, and a whole village of Klowas came on for the cutting up and curing of the meat. Among all the Indians who came strag- gling in, there was no hostile act or look toward me. The big Indian took away my revolvers and installed me in his teepee, where his mother, a pleasant though none 100 clean old woman, kept house for him. “He made me understand that he, Katzatoa, had adopted me as his beoth. er, and it suited him to pretend that ny coming, with a big load of pres. entg for the Kiowas, had been fore told by a medicineman. “lI was an Indian, Katzaton sald, aad mot white, as 1 had always thought myself!

With fancy all aglow and off on a riotous theme, Sam sits with his mouth and eyes full of hair and his arms full of Ethel—and right and there Fate catches up with him The brethren and kinsfolk of Sam plead with their gods for light to understand just what the YOuUng man sees In Ethel; and the kinsfolk and brethren of Ethel moodily wonder exactly what, under the crescent curve of the new moon, the young woman sees in that fellow Sam. When the sisters the young man say Ethel is “critical.” they em- ploy a subtle and eupbonious mode of calling her thin; and when the cousins and the aunts of the Young Woman term Sam “interesting,” they assume an oblique fashion of saying, “We're not sure, but we think he drinks.” The happy day arrives wherein the of voice promises never to forget to love the lady of his choice; while the rela. tives, friends and enemies assembled git back signalling the message, “All right You're happy now, you two, but—just wait!” They wait, The honeymoon slips by One day Mr. Ethel discovers that by means of a little nature faking Mrs. Ethel can in two hours so arrange her hair that legitimately she may refer to her efforts as a colffure. time Mrs. Sam finds herself face to face with the distracting Tact that i 1 i layer cake as he is of corned beef and cabbage.

When all was done the surgeon laid iside the knife and sald, “Now!” 3uch a roar came from the lips of the tick man as seldom is heard from any iimself, yelling, “Oh, doctor, you're tilling me!” Shouts of lnughtersoon drowned his ‘ries and he was told that the opera- don had been all over before the sig- ml was given.
