At best these friends of Pemberton's betrothed would be col orless, insipid creatures, or the usual forward type of chattering girls. Na. talle, with her deep, grave eyes, her tactful understanding, her unfailing sympathy, had sa oiled him for the frivolous banter of the girls whom Newton and Jim Howard were now finding so enchanting in their first en thusiastic greetings at Pemberton's festive little cottage on the hillside. To Marston, accompanied by his loneliness and sorrow, occasional peals of girlish laughter mingled with broken snatches of conversation and song, softened by the distance and the trees, floated downward through the night. He closed his eyes in hope. less surrender to homesick, longing depression. And, even now, In the midst of gloom, seared and over shadowed by the contrasting gayety above, his thoughts turned to Natalie and the days long past. How sweet she had been! How brave! How loyal to her eross-grain- ed old father, who, in a burst of un governable rage, had forbidden Mar. ston the house and further communi cation with his only daughter!

The Indian, however averse he may be to any kind of useful labor, is not slow to avail himself of a new source of amusement. This was shown some years ago, when among the supplies sent by the government to a certain agency in the west were several hun dred large frying pans with long han dles, These the Indian agent found In stock when he took possession, and at the end of the, year the number had not been diminished. Thinking that perhaps he had not whole duty in .the matter of supplying Uncle Sam's wards with these culinary utensils, the agent began making spe clal efforts to induce the red men to use them. At first, says Harper's Weekly, it had given out about two dozen there came a sudden change. Not a day passed in which the agent did not that number.
