Tlielr object wan to torture tlie boy by ninkiiit: the distance lietwoeu him ami them no ureal that they would likely tire a long time at him before giving bliu his death wound. He had been struck several times, but uot yet In a vital part. Oitniu Tisdale ttoiight the Ihj.v for flM. The captive, who was tied to the trunk of a tree, w as unttoiind ami takeu up by the captain's order lieliiiid one of the troolers. Tisdale had no use for his purchase, but If the boy wer left to himself he would either din without food or be recaptured, tartnr ed and killed. So the captain divided to keep him with the command aud when the troop returned to the fort take him alone. The. boy's lndiau name being uu pronounceable. he was given another Jim. There was no re;rs.m why he should not have been called John or Jack or Joe instead. It happened sim ply that the captain first thought of Jim. The boy was alxuit fifteen years old, tall and straight and had all the fortitude of his race. When released from belug a target, though fainting from loss of blood, he kept a resolute look on his face and did not seem es pecially pleased that his life had been saved. Since there was nothing for Jim to do at the fort. Captain Tisdale con cluded to make him his servant. Serv ants were hard to get in western garrisons, and Tisdale, who was a mar ried man. thought Jtm would make a good waiter. The captain proposed this to the boy, but received uo reply of either assent or dissent. He went about his duties sullenly, but attended to them faithfully. Tisdale was sur prised that he displayed uo gratitude for the saving of his life, but Tisdale had little faith in the better impulses of the savages and ascribed Jim's ap parent indifference to his redskin na ture. Mrs. Tisdale went even further. She feared all Indians and dreaded lest they should le murdered by Jim some night and be would lie missing In the morning. Then came uew that the tribe by which Jim had ls-en made captive had broken away from their reservation and were roaming nlMiut murdering settlers, burning houses and pillaging. All the garrismi of Fort except a sufficient guard went out to drive the savages back into their proper limits. Captain Tisdale liefore departing said to Jim: "Jim, I wish you to he good to Mrs. Tisdale while I am away!" 'Me go. too." replied Jim. "All right," said the captain, who was fearful of leaving him. "I'll get yon a horse from the quartermaster. and you shall be my orderly." For the first time since Jim had been purchased a light came into his eye. "You would rather fight than wall on the table, wouldn't yon, Jim?" said the captain. "My father chief!" anid Jim proudly. The change lu Jim mounted on a charger from carrying- viands ou a tray was something wonderful. And was he not going to fight the very trHe who had Intended to shoot him to death? When the command trotted j out of the f'irt. many of the men so- bered by the thought that they might never get back to It,' Jim rode lehind l Captain Tisdale. the light of supreme happiness In his eye. I In those days, though the savages were armed with rifles, they could not always get the requisite ammunition and were obliged to supplement their armament with the bows and arrows. The United States force that marched against them, learning that they were In camp within striking distance, at tempted to surprise them in the early morning, but the cavalry were late In getting on the ground and found a force four times their own nnmters drawn up to receive them. During the fight Jim fought like a young devil. Hut he never left his captain. Tisdale was leading a charge Into a nest of Indians when an arrow struck him In the forearm. At the same moment his horse fell dead. Jim like a flash Jumped from his own horse, raised his captain, pulled the arrow from the wound, looked at its point and. kneeling by the captain, who was sitting dazed on the ground, began to suck the wound. The Indians were driven liefore the advancing force, and when succor ar- i rived for C'uptaln TlMlale he was fonnd $9. 5o Seventeen acres ia H Htupor, jim beside him chant- in best part of the valley , "ZJL.:Z t-f - - " "- - be hud bad opportunity to perform lu his boyhood, and a part of his song was lu English those alsiut knew that bis captain bad Imh-ii struck by a poi soned arrow and Jim had sucked the poison Into his own system.

I am nu old woman, uud it is strange U look buck aud consider what I was when I was yuiiiri ittnl how absolutely passed away Is ihat v rid in which I then lived. A Mi'aiiKcr mutter in that I iHissed out of it when it Ml ill existed. I was considered di':id. 1 am a Kusshiu by liirth nud wheu I was growing up to womanhood Im bibed the idcai of a bit ml Unit were tlicu. called ulliillsi :. They have since become revolutionists lu Kussia. but lu other couutries the most tleHrate wing of the sect arc anarchists. 1 was then too youug to (lls riuiinale between the different Ix-liel's; hut. having always been very MKir. I ivndily foil iu with those who believed the poor suffer a great injustice u the part of the rich and that the wealth of the world should be divided up among the poor. With this objei t lu view governments which protect the rich should be de stroyed. I bad uot been a nihilist long before I was ordered to assassinate the min ister of the Interior. - memler of the circle to which I belonged was" a friend of and trusted by the minister. This frlentl was to secure me a position as nurse lu the victim's family and I was to itoison him. A few days after 1 received the order a letter came from America, where an uncle of mine had gone wheu a boy, stating that he had died and left me a large fortune. What a wonderful change the announcement made in me! Far from thinking that 1 should divide with the por. 1 thought thut my for tune should be my own. How 1 left Russia secretly, how 1 reached America and was pnt In pos session of my fortune I will not .give here. No one but myself knew of my Inheritance till after It had been paid uie. But I was sure that It would serve to Identify me and that some one would be sent to Inflict upon me a seuteuce of death for not having car ried out the edict of the society. I converted my fortune it amounted to $100,01)0 Into gold. I could get no interest on gold, bnt I did not dare to purchase securities, for my name must appear on them. Kven If V put my money In a savings bank, taking a book in lieu of a receipt, I could not get it back without signing my name. And now legan the most dreadful period of ray life, dreadful in this I must 8end money to live besides money to go from place to place, for I dared not remain in one location. I was therefore obliged to draw on my capital. Besides this, I must take care of and move my gold, which was very heavy. I was In constant dread not only of robbery, but that while trav eling my gouf Would le 'lost. I had a very strong Iroubound trunk made, padded Inside, and In this I put my gold In little bags, each bag coutalnlng a thousand dollars. This trunk I nev er lost sight of and was coutluually troubled alsmt It. Sometimes the strangeness of my ixisltlon would oc cur to me. I had believed that the poor should take away the possessions of the rich, anil here was I, rich, con tinually on the rack alsuit my posses sions. Miserable as I had been in pov erty, I sometimes envied my former lot. This money that bad seemed so desirable to me, what comfort was I getting out of It? Carting around a trunk that I was constantly afraid I would lose or would betray me was certainly no pleasure. Ten years of this kind of life passed, during whli h ou several occasions I met my own countrymen who I knew were ulhllists. Finally I met Rus sian friend who ha . no affiliation wltb the nihilists. She agreed to write to those I bad left behind that she had seen me lu a hoepltul, where I was lying at the inilnt of death, aud that I had died there. She afterward told me that ber story was believed and I would soon be forgotten both by those who loved me and those who bad con demned me. I saw now a new life before me. 1 took another name aud Invested my money, of which I had (85.000 left. But I lived an exile's life and did not make friends. My money could not give me happiness. I tried to Interest myself In banks, but I had not been educated, and I took no Interest in them. Time hung heavy on my hands. One day I weut past a factory. Working girls were coming out, and none of them had the unhappy face that I bad. 1 thought of the day when I. too, was a working girl and realized that, after all, I was happier then than I was now. If I could only be occupied the days would not seem ao long to me. The next day I went to the factory where I had seen the girls and asked for a position without pay till I could learn the work to be done. My offer was accepted, and I went to work the next morning. I worked for five years, then mar ried a follow laborer. Since my mar riage my occupation has been caring for ray home and my children. The Cursed gold left me by my uncle la accumulating. No one living but my self knows of It. I don't know what to do with It. l.alior alone keeps us contented. I do not wish my children to receive a cent of my fortune. It has been a curse to me, and I dread lest It he a curse to them. I would not object to their receiving it when they become old enough to know imethlng of how It may he made a V'oneflt. The M. W.
