THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-TUESDAY MOBNINO, OCTOBER 8, 1895.
(( opyrleht 1895, by
CKAFTEK I.
I hav crossed the plain twice, and
to claim 'to know onithinK of Indian
character. A narrative of two epi
sodes In my .life will help Illustrate the
rature of the red mun as I have found
Jilm.
On my first trip we had no particular
trouble with the savages. .? had a
large wagon train. The number of
anen wan very large. All were well
armed. Some of them had had a
chance to make such a name In border
warfare aa 'to cause the evil minded
l-edtf to regard theni wMh a wholesome,
sort of respect and to be iulte ready
and willing to keep out of their way if
poslble. .And yet the outlook was seri
ous more than once. And. on one oc
casion, the accidental falling In with a
body of troops was all that saved us
from an encounter so one-sided th.it
there wouldn't have been hope enouph
In lt to 'warrant writing possible"
against a statement of the theory that
some one would escape, and live to tell
friends and relatives of how the ivst
died.
'We got through all right, liowever.
with only one death, and that caused
by an Illness again which a good phy
sician In a quiet home would have most
likely found his skill utterly unavail
ing. And the only event that really
yielded muoh excitement really caused
much permanent comment was the
flnd'inK and saving of the life of an In
dian. I never quite understood what
had happened before. Whether a band,
consisting of enough to make an am
bush hopeful when a small was.n
train was under consideration, had
waited at the river crossing for us, and
bad decamped unseen, on finding hew
strung we really were, 1 cannot say.
TUiere nuty have been a quarrel be-
Found the Wounded Creature
tween two or more members of the
same tribe, though in that case I should
have expected to find a dead Indian In
stead of a wounded one. My own
opinion is that the brave was alone,
that he was entirely ignorant of our
proximity, that his pony stumbled and
threw him. I must awn that the men
who had spent years in the Weft would
never admit the possibility of my theory
being the correct one: It Is true, too.
That I don't see how his pony ever got
him off. But, since no one knows the
reason. I suppose a simple statement
of facts will have to suffice. And these
are the facts: Half an hour after wo
went Into camp, one af ternoon. I found
the wounded creature. He was lying
flat on his back, so near the river that
his feet touched the water. The place
was about an eighth of a mile below
the place where we were encamped.
He was unconscious. wRh an ugly
wound in his head that had evidently
ton caused by a sharp stone against
which he had fallen. A slight examina
tion served to show that his right arm
and his left leg were broken. His pony
was feeding near; Indeed, I found his
pony some minutes before I discovered
him, and was getting rather anxious
regarding the w-hi-reaboutB of the pony's
owner, and wondering whether he
mightn't rise up out of some ridicu
lously small thicket, or from behind
some preposterously small stone, and
quietly shoot and speily scalp me
when I first got sight of him In his qui
escent and harmless condition. The re
vulsion of feeling, when I once made
up my mind that there was no reason
why I shouldn't get back to camp again
walking safely over those forty odd
rods that. In my fear for an unseen
lurking foe, had seemed outstretched
almost to 'Infinity, was so great that I
had to sit down a few minutes to gel
myself composed again. He sure I never
told "the boys" what my feelings had
been. But, even now, with more years
between me and the memory of those
old-time days than I like to think of, I
sometimes wake at night with the feel
ing In my mind that had been there
fqom the time I found that silent pony
but always wake from such a
troubled dream without having found
the redskin himself!
The savage had no weapons, and
search in the vicinity of the place
where he' was discovered resultfl in
the find of none. That seemed rtrange
very strange. Hut there wasn't a
hurt about him that I could believe due
to purposely execrcised human agency,
and the fact that he still possessed his
scalp was sufficient evidence that no
foes of his own kind IiihI had aught to
do against him or that they had been
compelled to leave the vicinity In a
hurry! The face was hideously painted.
It would have been repulsive enough,
I doubt not, under any olrcumstanc.es.
Seen under these conditions and at that
hour between day and dark It was
doubly so. Besides, I have an Idea
that death, or the unconsciousness
that follows accident, will serve to
bring the nature of the unfortunate to
the surface writing character, aa It
were, on the helpless countenance. I
have aeen strength, honor, beauty

prove much. 'But I have my own
theory all the same!
A shot from my rifle brought a half
dozen men from the camp and still
that senseless form never stirred. How
his soul would have rebelled could It
have known.
'Among the half dozen who came,
hurrying, were at least two who had
spent the greater part of the lives upon
the plain They had no great admira
tion for the Indian character, and one
of them rather petulantly asked why I
had wasted my ammunition? Why I had
fired Into the ulr Instead or Into the In
dian. I hud a hard time to secure my
own way. Hut 1 prevailed at luwt. 'We
took the ptvor wretch Into camp. I svt
his broken times. I bound up t he wound
In his head. I nursed him hack to
health again.
The man shall I offend any imjti
dlce. antagonize any Judgment, by so
designating hnV ivaJ young. I
tOiould net call him over tveiMy-tlvo
at the outside. He tod no bull habits
in his pan to draw him down and drag
r.;ainst him --that is. he had ncne that
his race did not have befcie the white
man came. He iNcoviva rapidly as
any healthy animal will do If given u
fair chance.
The man patient or pi'tioner Ritest
or captive could not sreak a word of
Knglish. I feel sure he could un.l.r
ntand little. If anything,, of what' va-
said to him or in his presence. What
he mut have thought if vr.aturu of
his sort can think when he ca:re to
himself surroundi d by white men, and
evnitthlng of white men's comforts. I
can only dimly imagiine. How he must
have regarded his treatment, given ".ho
.)f':st ted In the vastest wagon day
after day ami fed on the most nourish
ing of foods, reinforced by the best
wi'ie the train oould furnish, Is quite
beyond my ability to say. iHe may
have i.ad the truth In our faces, our
hearts In our actions, and realized,
dimly and vaguely, that, beyond the
great gulf God has plaeed between the
white race and the red, there were men
who kiK-w and loved a golden rule of
which nis low intelligence had never
dreamed. He may have guesped that
our klndnem was fimp'.y 'assumed, our
fcilu-arance merely temporary, and
that he was reserved for th- torture
that would have been the pitiless pre
scription of his devilish creed. Or. h"
nay have made . short cut, shunning
even the exercise of primitive savage
logic and decided we were fools!
In due time he was well. 'We gave
him his pony. We gave him a supply
of food. 'We saw him ride away and
disappear. 'I never thought to cee him
again. Hut this Is a small world, even
to an Indian, and with steam and elec
tricity left out of the count.
I retumtd home by sea. It was fix
years befors I found myself crossing
the plains again, and again with a
wagon train. Characters much the
f.ime as before. Some of them rather
rr re p'ronsrly emphasized than of
wire. lir.isililv because of the years of
I added experience humanity had reaped
on the lonely plains and beside the
Western trail. Scouts rather better
fh:t rather more reluctant to let a
itt nderfoot" have his own way.
Poughs rathertousher. and with more
determination and ingenuity. Hut. hu
man nature gains or loses, in a marked
degree, only with changing cycles;
years and more years count little and
slowly. So that I may rpppat, and
truthfully: Charactersmuch the same
as before.
"Experiences much th? same as be
fore." That Is what I would have writ
ten at th9 end of a week. That would
have been correctas history. As pro
phecy It would have been absurdly
inaccurate. Kvents. 'took a decidedly
new course after that.
In the first place, I fell In love with
iMiilie Davis, the daughter of a sturdy
Xw Englander who was going to open
a ranch In some Impossible and un
heard of locality out near the setting
pun. 'Millie Davis was the most
iHut I was her lover! You know all
that I would say. AVhat Is the us of
taking the time ami space to say It?
In the -second place, Tige Wrick fell
In love with her too! I would gladly be
fair with iMr. Black. It would plnse
m to give his name In this narrative,
and I don't believe his mother ever
called him Tlgen or that his father
ever shortened and Intensified so san
guinary an appellation. Hut Tige Is
the oTi'ly. name by which I ever heard
him called; Tlge he must go, to the
very end of the story.
I claim to be a moderately modest
man. I would gladly avoid drawing a
comrirts"n between Tlge Hlaek and
myself. iWer.?, It possible, I w iild Ict
him do this part of the work In my
stead. As it Is. I must state that I
was younig. good-looklnga well-educated
physician, and that rumor cor
rectly asyerted that I had n good rt' tl
of property. Khick was old. He twrt
wver been handsome, and hard work
and hard weathr had'dialt most un
handsomely with him. He had no du
cat Ion, save the practical sort a drlvfr
on the great plains used to pick up !n
thee old times. And no man who
loved liquor as well as he ever accumu
lated or kept property. 'Me was the
roowt picturesquely profane person I
ever listened to. .Miss Millie Davis, In
Addition to ftiimost numberless other
traits possfssed sound rr.se. So I
was a very happy man and Tlge Hlack
a very angry one!
The man deliberately picked a quar
rel wl'th me. Hie colled me a vl!e raime.
I slapped his Insolent mouth for him.
He talkad gravely, qul-'tly, ami net
at all profanely, when that had hnn
pened. Hut his demand was a terrible
one. He asked that 1 meet him In mor
tal combat thai I fight with him to
the death. I spoke to the commander
of the wagon train about It. He was
greatly troubled, for he liked me genu
inely, and was. perhaps, .lust n. llttl
afraid of Tlge "Black and his Influence.
He said he'd see the thing was put off
for a day or two, at nny rate. 'Hut I
knew, from the way that he talked,
that he feared I would, have to fight.

Have you ever been In d'?pcrate dan-
Jrer? Do you know how it grows and
ntenslfles? 'Do you know how horrible
events come fast and faster upon one
anotherIn dreadful anticipation of a
fearful end?
In the middle of th afternoon, there
were hostile Indians in sight not more
than a dozen at the outside count.
An hour later we had our wajforee in
a circle, on the highest ground we had
been fjlveo time o select and were
waiting for the attack. The foe num
bered at least a hundred.
At dark, we were getting; a frightened
rest from an attack that had lasted an
hour. IMr. Davis, Jdlllle's father, was
dead. We had two men wounded, one
of them fatally. We wondered whether
the red rascals would draw off and
leave us alone, or whether we would 'be
compelled to repulse them aguln.
Alt ten o'clock we had driven the sav
ages off once more.' 'We had ten dead
men Inside our lines. iWe were begin
ning to talk of the last desperate ser
vice of cruel kindness we must per
form for the women and children If
the tlnve came when we could no longer
stuml against the foe; we were begln
iiilng to count out and lay aside the
cartridges thttlt must be saved for that
tacred duty, ami not used for anything
else under any circumstances.
At midnight. In a lull In the light, we
hvld a hurried consultation. "We can
hold out until noon I. I hope," snld
th; commander. "I certainly think
tlHMV'a no hope beyond that time un
less we can get hi!p. It's fifty miles to

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
STOCKS AND B0XD3.
New York. Oct. 7. Until a late hour
the stock market was dominated by
bearish Influences and at one time
prices showed losses of 424 per cent.
In the downward movement the Indus
trials and Urangera were most promi
nent, although the anthracite coalers
were not far behind. The factors at
work were slightly higher rates for
money, due to the steady reduction in
the tbank reserves and the Colorado
freight war. Higher cables from Lon
don and foreign purchases of fully 10.-
000 shares of various stocks, a further
advance In reilned Sugar and Intima
tions of a rise In anthracite coal, were
all Ignored for a time. In the late trad
ing an attempt was made by the bears
to cover their short contracts. They
found It more difficult, however, to
buy than they had expected, and prices
were easily advanced to 2 per cent.,
the anthracite coalers leading the up
ward movement. Total sales were, 293,
3'Ji shares, of which Chicago Qas fig
ured for 33.6'I0; Tobacco, for 33.200, 8t.
Paul, for 28,700; Beading, for 2S.600; Bur

Tial preparations,
should not be used in
these days of enlight
ened medical science.
1 when it is so easy to
1 get a purely vegetable
pill in concentrated
form, sugar-coated,
in glass vials, at any
store where medi
cines arc kept
Dr. Pierce" was first
to introduce n Little Pill to the American
cople. Many have imitated them, but none
lave approached his " Pleasant Pellets " in
true worth, or value, fur all laxative and
cathartic purposes.
Once Used, they are Always in Favor.
Assist Nature a little now and then, with
a gentle, cleansing laxative, thereby remov
ing oflemling matter from the stomach nnd
bowels, toning up and invigorating the liver
and quickening its tardy action, nnd you
thereby remove the cause of a multitude of
distressing diseases, such ss headaches, in
digestion, or dyspepsia, biliousness, pim
ples, blotches, eruptions, boils, constipa
tion, piles, fistula and maladies too numer
ous to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their
bowels, they would have less frequent
occasion to call for their doctor's ser
vices to subdue attacks of dangerous dis
eases. That, of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are uncqiialtd, is proven by the fact that
once used, they are always in favor. Their
secondary effect is to keep the bowels open
am regular, not to further constipate, as is
the case with other pills. Hence, their great
popularity, with sufferers from habitual
constipation, piles and indigestion.
They absolutely tuft sick headache, bili
ousness, constipation, coated tongue,, poor
appetite, dyspepsia and kindred derange
ments of tiie stomach, liver and bowels.
