    His Squaw's Necklet
By IZOLA FORRESTER
(Cuiori.hl. mil, bf Awociatgil Lllecajf Fra.)
Vivien reined la bcr puny at sight
of the uinjor. He was visibly dis
turbed She could see that from hit
troubled, uneasy gaze as he watched
the stumbling, ungainly figure of old
Broken Bow pass down the road that
led from the post to the reservation
"Now what?" called Vivien, anx
iously. "Aren't you going to ride this
glorious morning with me?"
He ramo up to the pony, and
stroked Its velvet nose gently.
"I cannot, dear, this morning
There's trouble over at the camp
Ilroken Row tells me that their medi
cine in ii n has lost bis squaw's neck
let." "Lost what?" laughed Vivien. "How
Interesting!"
"It may become more so. Tbey are
very superstitious, and most abomi
nably obstinate over these things. It
Is a necklet of elk teeth and eagle
clawk, a sacred affair that has been
banded down from chief to chief for
generations, and Is supposed to con
vey mlrnculous rowers to Its dob
sensor. The last chief had no son )
therefore his daughter kept It, and
married the medicine man."
"And he "
"Thereby acquired part of the Rift.
Broken Bow has boen trying to ex
plain It to me. The whole tribe Is
up In arms over It. It la believed
that the woman's cousin, a young
brave named Flying Fox. has stolen
It. and will rally the tribe against
the peaceful rule of old Broken How."
"Aren't they Just like chlldron?"
"Hardly. More like frightened ani
mals that rush panlcstrlcken Into un
known danger. This foolish necklet
affair may bring on a tribal war, and
already the colonel has ordered me
out to settle It, with force If need be."
"And you cannot ride?"
"No. Best not venture far your
self." Vivien laughed back at blm over
her shoulder as she let the pony go.
Danger? There was no danger, she
was sure.
Straight away from the post she
rode, choosing the river road as her
favorite. The post lay In the valley,
and she loved the trails that led over
the fnrlylng buttes up to the purple
reaches of the foothills. Mile after

and she wanted a drink herself As
she reached the pool she slipped from ;
the saddle, giving the pony Its chanco
to di Ink first. The nolBe of other
hoofs beating up the opposite path
startled her. and Instinctively b)ir
drew her own pony back from the
water Into the shelter of the trees
They were both Indians. She knew
that as soon as she saw their rough,
ungraceful ponies One was a wo
man, and she was young She slipped
from her Baddle before her pony
came to a full stop, let it go free and
scrambled up the bank aboe the
drinking pool, while her companion
waited
Vivien watered, holding her breath
one hand over the pony's nose. The
squaw bent over the stump of a lightning-blasted
pine tree, remained for
perhaps a minute and returned,
mounting In silence, and both depart
ed as they had come.
"Well, upon my word!" saii Vivien
with the calm assurance of a Ver

FLED FROM CONGO CANNIBALS
Superintendent of Rubber Plantation
Saw a Cauldron He Feared Might
Be for Him,
It la uot every day that a man ar
rives It) this town who has looked Into
a boiling cnuldron which cannibals
held In preparation for him. But such
a man came here the other day from
Antwerp on the Red Star liner Vader
land. He was Emlle Van Baelnn. a
Belgian, who was In charge of a rub
ber plantation In the Congo and had
the small task of bossing ten thousand
blac men.
Mr. Van Baelen knew all about the
rubber business, but he wanted to
learn something of the mineral treas
ures of the Interior of the Dark Con
tinent, so he ventured one day with
three servants on an expedition that
led two hundred miles from his camp.
He found gold and other rich depos
its In the Interior, but as he was about
to return to camp he was surrounded
reached down into Its hollow. There
were dry leaves, and beneath smull
rocks, freshly placed there, but under
both her hand came In contact with
something foreign, something sharp
and queer to the touch. She lifted It
out, held It up to the light and gave
a quick gasp of amazement. Then,
returning, she turned about and mad a
for tbe post
It was mid-afternoon before she
reached the post, too late to stop the
detachment that had alreudy started
for the reservation to bead off tbe
war parties Signal fires must not
be lighted that night on distant hills
or by morning there would be open
war and bloodshed When Vivien ar
rived she threw her bridle to tbe first
soldier she met, and limped toward
tbo colonel's quarters, lame and al
most dazed after her race; but clasped
In her hand wns the necklet
"Can you ride with me to the res
ervation?" asked the old fellow,
watching the flushed girl face nar
rowly. "I shall need you."
"I could ride anywhere now." she
said.
Fifteen minutes later, on a fresh
borse, she rode with the colonel and
escort straight out toward the reser
vation. "Whoever carries that necklet bears
power to sway the whole tribe," the
colonel told her. "That brave you
saw at tbe spring must have been
Flying Fox himself, but who was the
woman? The wife of the medicine
man Is over thirty five, and Is fat and
already old."
"Oh, this girl wns young, and al
most handsome, colonel," protested
Vivien. "And she wore two eagle
feathers behind her ear."
"We will find her Whoever she
Is, she Is the thief."
It was almost sundown when they
came In sight of the tepees of the
reservation. On a small hillock an
arrow's flight from the entrance to
the stockade were the major and
his men, waiting the going down of
the sun as the signal to open fire. Up
and down, before the tepees raced
the young braves on their war ponies,
nearly nude, and brightly painted,
yelling wildly The dull thud of the
tomtoms came faintly over the plain
Not until they reached the main
tepee, where Broken Bow himself
held court, did the colonel dismount
and help Vivian from her horse. The
major had galloped to meet them, his
face stern and haggard as he realized
their peril.
"The truce ends at sundown,
colonel," he shouted.
"It Is not sundown yet. my boy."
said tbe old man, and be led the way
Into the tent where Broken Bow
waited, with the medicine man and
his wife and the old men of the trlba.
The chief returned the colonel's salu
tation gravely.
"It Is too late." he said; "I have
no power to quell them. Flying Fox
has been acclaimed their chief, and
rides to light the signal fires to call
the other tribes. I bave no power
now."
A long high wall came from the
medicine man. and his wife looked at
Vivien, as one women stares at an
other she has never teen. Suddenly
she gave a shriek and sprang at the
girl, tearing at the necklet that rested
about her throat. Vivien threw off
the clinging hands, and held the
necklet high above her head out of
reach to the hands of Broken Bow.
"The white squaw holds the bal
ance of power In her hands," suld the
old chief "Send messengers to say
we bave the necklet, and the gift re
turns to our side, not Flying Fox's."
Suddenly Vivien heard a low gasp
behind her. and turned to find the
girl who had hidden the necklet at
the spring. She caught her wrist, and
held fast, as she cnlled to the major
what she knew of her.
"It Is Evening Star," said Broken
Bow, sternly, "my own daughter She
had stolen the necklet for him, to
give him victory. What shall her
punishment be at the hands of tbe
great white father?" He looked at
the old colonel, and the colonel
looked at Vivien, standing beside the
major. And Vivien, reading the look
In the Indian girl's eyes, gave sen
tence. "Let l.er be banished with Flying
Fox to the North country."
"Thou hast said," replied Broken
Bow, but the girl smiled back at
Vivien as they led her forth to her
exile, and understood.
Cruel.
"Well, I've got tny winter's supply
of coal In anyhow."
"Is It paid for?"
"Say, why do you always Insist cn
bringing up something dleaurtenblo
when a fellow la trying to be cp'.lm'.s

savages, who consider human flesh a
food delicacy.
The servnnts fled and were cap'ured.
Mr. Van Baelen stood his ground, and
as the savages approached him he
drew his revolver and dropped a cou
ple of them. The others were held nt
bay. Strategy becoming his only hope
new he said he raised his hands, and
addressing them In their own tongue

INDIAN CHIEF BEST PITCHER
Philadelphia Twlrlsr Has Highest
Average In Official Pitching Rec

which he trimmed the Cubs In the
post-season games. Eddie Plunk, the
old-timer with Connie Mack, had a
good year and won 22 games out of 30
that be pitched.
Joe Wood of Boston, the ex-bloomer
girl pitcher, worked almost as often
as any other twlrler and is there In
the list with 23 victories out of 41)
games. -
The most unfortunate twlrler In the
organization was Dolly Gray of Wash

games nnd only won two of them.
Jess Baker of Corulnkey's White Sox,
was there with two victories and
seven defeats.
Bender won 17 and lost five games,
while Walsh's record waB 27 won nnd

struck out 255 batsmen, leading the
lenguejn this res;ect. Bender worked
In 2161-3 innings, gave 68 bases on
balls and struck out 144 men. Walsh
led In number of games pitched as

with a per cent, far above that of the
Sox as a team.
Venn Gregg, the young southpaw of
the Cleveland club, won 22 games and

M'GRAW GETS SECOND MATTY
Davis Robertson, Recently Signed by
New York Giants, Has Wonderful
Record as Pitcher,
"In Duvls Robertson the Clants have
a second Matty," were the words of
an excellent baseball Judge, In dis
cussing one of the latest men s'gned
by the New York club.
Robertson, who halls from Norfolk,
Va., won 23 out of 26 games while
pitching for the El'zabeth City (N. C.)
team last season. In one of those
games he Btruck out 19 men. He Is
really a utility man, for he has played
nt first bise and in the outfield. Be
sides being a good bitter, he Is a fast
man on the bases.
Robertson Is 19 years of age, stands
six feet and weighs 193 pounds. He
was brought to the attention of John
J. McGraw by William Hanan, the
man who discovered Mathewson.
Robertson will report to McGrnw
early next June. He will not Join the
Giants enrller because he Is attend
ing the Agricultural and Mechtnlenl
school nt Raleigh, N. C. and wants to
finish bis course. Robertson Is a left
handed pitcher, and his ensy delivery
promises a long and useful career on
the mound.
Those who have watched him pitch
are willing to go on record as predict
ing he will show championship form
In his first g.une In the big league.
Cleveland Had Six Managers.
The Cleveland club since 1900 has
had bIx managers, counting Harry
Davis, the moBt rscent acquisition.
Jim McAleer was a manager In 1900
and 1901. nnd his team finished sixth
and seventh resptctlvely In those two
years. William Armour was the man
ager In 1902. when the team finished
fifth. In 1903, when It finished fourth.

THICK-HEADED STUNT
McCormack Couldn't Resist Hit
ting at Straight One.
Former Manager of Philadelphia and
Providence Teams Tells How For
mer Ne-v York Player Lost
Game by Stupidity.
By BILLY MURRAY.
The greatest play I ever saw one
that never was made before and I
hope never will be again was pulled
off by "Hill" McCormack, when he
was playing for me at Providence.
You fellows probably remember
him as outfielder for the New York
Giants, and when he played semi-pro
ball around Chicago.
You know that most of the famous
bone-head plays made are by smart
players acting under Impulse that
they can't control, so don't think I'm
accusing Illll of pulling a solid Ivory
stunt because he was In the habit of
It. He wasn't.
We were playing at Providence s
game that mep.nt a lot to us, and we
were fighting for the pennnnt, and
had a good chance to win. The game
was ono of the hardest and best pitch
ed of the car, and the score was
tied when w came to the bat In the
ninth Inning. I don't remember ex
actly, but I think the score was one
to one, and that we had scotfed our
one early In the game and hung on
to the seventh before Buffalo could
tie It up. The Buffa'o pitcher had
everything, nnd It seemed as if we
were In a fair way to being licked
and we couldn't aford to take a beat
ing. They came near scoring In the
first half of the ninth, and I wns wild
to nush over a run In our half, and
not give them another crack nt our
pitcher, who seemed to be slowing
up and losing everything he had.
The first man ut for us In the ninth
Inning beat out a slow luck bound
er and the next one laid down a sac
rifice. Our two best hitters were com
ing to bat nnd I was praying for a
single to finish the game. McCormack
was waiting to come to hat In case
the hitter who was up failed to deliver
a safe clout, and was standing about
half way between the plate and first
base, swinging his bat and getting
readv. Ho hniln't made a hit that
day, and 'he Pcffalo pitcher seemed
to have him on the string yet like all
tilavers. he was confident that he
could hit and wn3 anxious to be up
there
The batter smashed a hard s'.na'e
down between left and center, and
the runner on second, who was fast,
came tearing around third for the
n'r.te. The left fielder headed off
the ball, and nlthoitch there wnsn't a
chance on enrth to catch the runner at
the plate, he cut loose the ball as
hard as he could toward the plate
without taking t'me to look or
Btra'gliten up. The only chance he
had whs a thourmd to one that his
wild heave would come somewhere
near the r't- It didn't. The ball
came on a line about half way be
tween first and the plate, so wild that
the catcher couldn't reach It, nnd
what we though was the winning run
came over, lirngire my surprise to
see McCormack run at that ball.
wing his bat and hit it a mile to
center field. The i;mplre, of course.
promptly called tho runner out for
the Interference, and In the next In
ning they fell on our pitcher and
hammered him all over the place,
beating us out of the ball grime. And
when I nuked lilll why he hit that
thrown bull, he said: "Honestly, BUI,
I couldn't help It; It was the first
straight one I've seen today."

When the right time came, and Ne
hemlnh's henrt was burning with sor
row and desire, he found "opportuni
ties concenled In apparent hindrances."
It was dangerous to show sorrow In
tho presence of the king. Even a mod

everybody's face to Bhlne If be did but
onnonr nnrl hnw mnrh more an ArtaX-
erxos? What, wear a sorrowful face J
when he was presiding over Joy and
gayety, gliding them with his pres
ence? If he had ordered this melan
choly visage away to prison or death,
It would have been Justified by prece
dent. A gloomy face might mean dis
affection against the king. The light
of bis favor ought to be enough to
drive all sadness away.
Nehemiah had hitherto been able
to keep a smiling face when before
the king; but one day at a superb
banquet, when the queen was din
ing with her husband, amid gold plate,
gorgeous silk dresses of every hue,
marble pillars, fountains, music, lights,
sultanas, courtiers resplendent as the
sun, and all worshiping their sun Ar
taxerxes, smiling when he smiled, his
sorrow shone through his face In
spite of himself, so that the king no
ticed It and said:
"Why Is thy countenance sad. see
ing thou art not sick? this Is nothing
else but sorrow of heart." Then he
was very sore afraid, and snld unto the
king, "Let the king live for ever: why
should not ny countennnce be sad,
when the city, the place of
my fa-
tbers' senulchrea, lieth waste, and the
gates thteof are consumea or nrei
If It please the king, and If thy serv-
ant have found favor In thy sight, that
thou wouldest send me unto Judah,
unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres,
that I may build It."
The kind was pleased to grant his
request, made him the Tlrshatha, or
governor of Judea, "royal agent" or
plenipotentiary." with full powers.
He traveled to Judea In state, with a
mllltnrv frunrri tt pflv&lrv unit with Int.
ters to the rulers o fthe neighboring
provinces to give him whatever he,'
needed for his work.
Nehemiah was very wise. He lay
quiet for three days, doing nothing, but
learning everything. He showed no
credentials, he Vroposed no plans, he
told no one what be hoped to do. His
first business was to learn the whole
situation, the feelings of the people.
who would oppose, and who would
help, how able the people were, what
obstacles must be overcome.

The wall was parceled out among 44

the Invasion of Xerxes, like the build;
ing of the walls of Edinburgh after the
battle of Flodden. This plan made each
one more earnest and faithful as he
saw what others were doing. It anl-
mated the work with a noble emula -
tion, and a personal pride. See how

DON'T OPEN HUBBY'S LETTERS
It Is a Breach of Politeness for the
Wife to Break the

A wife is In doubt, whether she
should open h;r husband's letters, and
Implies her willingness to let him
open, and read hers before they come
Into her hands. There Is no violation
of confidence Involved In a preference
I to read one's correspondence before It
J is so much as glanced over by tho
I eyes of another. A letter Is a bit of
personal property, and it is a breacti
of ordinary politeness to break Its
seal. Wife and husband alike have
the privilege of opening their individ
ual correspondence, and of sharing
It together If they choose. As no ono
who Is entirely p61Ite opens a closed
door without the formality of a knock,
though the door belong to a member
of the family, and Is tbe entrance to
an Individual room, so no really polite
person opens without leave the corre
spondence of another. It should b
taken for granted that married peo
ple are mutually Interested In ono an
other's letters, but It Is not to be Im
agined that they shall necessarily al
ways read every written scrap that
conies Into the house for one or the
other. Married happiness Is so pre
cious a thing that It should be guard
ed with the greatest care, and If eith

the horizon the smallest hint of a
cloud, the duty Is at once to take
measures to prevent a storm. The

I saw In the paper the advertisement
of the Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura
Ointmont, so I got them nnd tried
them at once. My baby's face was as
a cake of sores.
"When I first used the Cutlcura Soap
and Cutlcura Ointment, I could see a
difference. In color it was redder. I
continued with them. My baby was
In a terrible condition. I used the
Cutlcura Remedies (Soap and Olnt-
merit 1 four times a day. and In two
-.pet,. gha was ouite well. The Cutl-
cura Remedies healed her skin per-
fect)y and her gk ia now pr(.tty an(j
flne through using them. I also use
tbe Cutlcura Soap today, and will
continue to, for it makes a lovely skin.
Every mother should use the Cutlcuri
Remedies. They are good for aK
sores, and the Cutlcura Soap Is also
good for shampooing the hair, for I

how the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment
