A few hours wore spent in conver- station, conducted in low whisper. iiith occasional moments of partial Jrowsiness, haunted with wild frantic dream." Though five years separate that time and the present, where is the heart but throbs sensitive to the dark, prison-like condition of these two girls, I.Jok at their satiation iho scenes around having reached a strange tribe by a toil some, painful ten day' jeurney. the sufferings of which were al' most insupportable and life con suming having been for nearly the whole night of their introduc tion to a new captifity, made the subject of shouting and confusion, heathenism, indelicate and inde cent, and towards morning hiding themselves under a scanty cover- surrounded by unknown mv- ages, whispering into each other'e ears the hopes, fears and itnpres sions of their new conditions. Coveting sleep, but every touch of its soft hand upon their moistened eyelids turned to torture and hideousness by scary visions and dreams. Ilarrassed in mind over the un certainty and doubt; hunting their imaginations as to the probable purposes ef their nsw possessors ia all their nains takinsr tc secure a J w transfer of the captives "to theus. It is true that less of barbarity had marked the few days of their de pendence upon their new owners than their Apache hardships; but, they had sadly learaed already that under friendly guises their possible treachery might be wrap ping and nursing some foul and murdereus design. Plunged how into the depth of a wild country, where the traces of a white foot would be sought in vain for hundred of miles, and at such a distance frosu the nearest route of the hurrying emigrant, as see h-r climb rugged cliffs, at times upon her hands and knees Strug gling up where other could walk, th sweat coureing down freely from her pearly white forehead to hear her heave those half suppress ed sighs. to see the step of those little bleeding feet, totter and falter to see ths big tears standing cut of her eyes, glistening as if in the lorrowed light of a purer home to see her turn at times and bury her head in some of th tattered furs wrapped about a part of her person, and weepiag alone, and then come to m saying, 'How far, dear Olive, muit we go yet? To hear her ask, and ask in vain, for bread fcr meat for water for something to at, when nothing but their lazi ness denied her request, these were sights and scenes I ptay God to de liver me from in futare I Oh 1 that I cculd blot out the impression they have indelibly written upon ray mind. '"Rut we are now here and must make the best of it,' was the inter ruption msdo the next morning to memories and thoughts like the above. We were narrowly watch ed, and with an eye and jealousy that seemed to indicate some de sign beyond and unlike the one that was avowed to move them to purchase us, and to shut out all knowledge of the wav back to our race. We found the location and scenery of our new home much pleasanter than the one last occu pied. The valley extended about thirty or forty miles north east by south-west, and varying from twe to five'miles in width. Through its whole length flowed the beauti ful Colorado, in place a rapid, leaping stream, in other making its wy quietly, noiselessly ever a deep bed. It varied like all stream whose sources are in im mediate mountains, in depth at different seasons of the year. Dur ing toe melting ot tbe snows that clothed the mountain tops to the Theodore Uvscvelt represents the wholesome ideal of honest American citizenship. There has been a sincerity and genuine heart iness in all the receptions accorded him on his present tour because he is probably in closer touch with the great national heart than any other man who has occupied the exalted post of diet magistrate among a free people. His fellow eltizfi'.s admire him because he has the admirable qualities that go to make up the earnest patriot. They have confi dence in him because he has an abounding confiih-r.ee in his coun try and its institutions and exhib its an unshaken i'.iith iti the peo ple who are making that country rich, great and respected. City bred a.id with environ ments that could naturally make for circumscribed vi.'.vs and sec tional tendencies. Mr. Roosevelt is one of the men prominent in public life who was quick to appre ciate territorial greatness and to realize that between the Atlantic and tiie Pacific was a nsighty ex panse which should be peopled wilh men and women holding to the same idea's, hopes and aspira tions and bound together for a common destiny, splendid in its every aspect. To Lira ''my country" has had no recalling that was to be quali fied by state lines, rivers or moun tain ranges. Tbe history of naticn- al development on the Atlantic ; t0 preclude almost the traveling of seanoard nas ivcen to in m a lessen t0 their exile and gloom; it of highest and lest endeavor ; the I no marvel that these few hours, story of "the winning of the west" j allotted to sleep at the latter part and or latuT day achievements be- j 0f the night were rushed upon by yond the Mirsisiippi has been toj.uoh questions as these: Why him an inspiration.

In this re spect it was very much os among the Apache. Their whimpering idiotic children, of not half a doien years, very soon learned to drive us about with all the author ity of an eastern lord. And these filthy creatures would go in qtiet of occasions, seemingly to grntify their love of command ; and any want of hurried attention to them, wis visited upon us by punish- i mint, either by whipping or the withholding of our food. Resides the adults of the tribe enjoyed the sport of seeing us thn forced into submission to their children.

Topeka gave us to know that wo were to remain in their house. Indeed, we were merely regarded as strange intrud ers, with whom they had no sym pathy, and their bearing towards us seemed to say, 'you may live here if you ean eke out an existence by bowing yourselves unmurmur inglyto our barbarism and priva tions.' "In a few days they brgn t0 direct us to work ia various way, such as bringing wood and water, and to perforin various errands of convenience to thorn.

While their lot had cast thorn into the midst of superior natural advan tages, which ought io have awak ened their prid and ambition to do omething for themselves, yet they were indisposed to every fatignirig toil unless in the chase or war." Nothing during the summer of 18.52 occurred to throw any light upon thai one nacslion to these captive girls the allaborhing one one which, like an every where present spirit, haunted them day and night, as to the proh anilities ot their ever escaping from Indian captivity. It wns not long before their language, of few words, was so far understood as to make it easy to understand the Mohave in conversation. Every day brought to their ear exprea sions, casually dropped, showing their spite and bate to the white face. They would question their captives closely, seeking to draw from them any discontent they might feel in their present condi tion. They tuunted them in a less ferocious manner than the Apaches, but with every evidence of an equal hate about th good- for-nothing whites. Many of them wore anxious to learn the language of the whites; among inese one uceareK.se, a young man of some self conceit and pride. Jfo asked tho elder of the girls, "How do yon like living with the Mohaves?" To this she replied "I do not like it so well as among the whites, for wo do not have enough to eat." f'e "We have enough to satisfy us you Americans (a term also by tbora learned of tbe Mexicans) work hard and it does you tin good ; we ei.jny ourselves."

Oliv "Put if onr people had this lautiful valley, they would till it and rais much grain. You Mohave don't like to work, and you say you do not have enough to eat then it is because you are laiy.
