BELZY DODD, THE "MAN WHO
SCALPS HIMSELF"
Some historians have asserted that
Belzy Dodd wns a myth, but some of
the old scouts who knew him well
io not agree with them. "Ask some
of the Injuns who nihled along the
old Santa Fe trail about 'The Man
Who Scalps Himself,' " they said, with
a lnugh. Like California Joe, Dodd
"was a practical joker, and one of his
Jokes once defeated a hand .of Indians
and saved a wagon train from the
horrors of a massacre.
Dodd was guiding a caravan of
traders to Santa Fe. At night they
irked their wagons In n circle with
;ie mules corralled Inside to prevent
iheir being stampeded if Indians at
tacked.. Outside Uie circle guards
were "posted to give warning at the
first appearance of a savage.
Just before daylight one morning
the Jraders were awakened by a shot,
and rushed out to find a guard lying
wounded on the ground. In the next
Instant a band of I'liunees charged
down on the train. A fierce battle fol
lowed. The Indians who attacked
the train were re-enforced by a larger
band and In a short time it became
evident that the train, whose defend
ers were hopelessly outnumbered, was
ioomed. Suddenly Dodd, whose rifle
had knocked down more than one
painted warrior, threw aside his weap
on and dashed outside the circle of
wagon.
Howling fiendishly, he rushed Into
the midst of the charging Pawnees.
. Before the Indians could recover from
their surprise at his bold act, Dodd
whipped out his long knife, ran It
around the edge of his hair, and with
a wild yell, tore off bis shock of black
hair and waved It about his head.
It was too much for the Pawnees.
With a howl of terror, they broke and
ran. Dodd was a swift runner he
could hold his own In running beside
a galloping buffalo. It Is said and he
pursued the frightened redskins,
shrieking and waving his "scalp" un
til they left hlifi" far ttehlnd. A wig
had saved a wagon train !
After that time any wagon train
which Relzy Dodd guided over the
Santa Fe trail was safe If the Indians
saw Dodil In the lead. They had no
use for a man who could scalp him
self and still live.
What became of Belzy D'mM and
where he died Is as much a mystery
as his birth and early life. He played
his little role as a comedian In the
drama of the West and then, like many
greater actors, he passed on and n
soon forgotten.

Nanette, seated In the garden where
fountains tinkled, and rare flowers
bloomed, was very miserable, Indeed.
For the beautiful gift of happiness
was to be found neither !nher father's
luxurious home or garden. Nanette,
with her many conquests and care
free days or gfrlhood, had left un
learned the lesson of true love. Now
that It was before her, it was a diffi
cult lesson to understand. It had been
very sweet before she had known that
It wns love at all. Knight Evers was
such a companionable satisfying sort
of friend.
She was usually busily engaged In
her partnership of some game. Hut
Knight would turn occasionally with
Ids bright smile of conmtderie toward
her, and leaving her still undisturbed.
So in their rides together, he always
(had time to pause for the viewing of
tl' glorious scenery which held her
spellbound, and seemed to know In
stinctively, when and where Nanette
would wish to linger most. They were
merry together, too, with little secret
jokes concerning others, that were in
nocently their own; and also, Knight
was unostentatiously careful of her.
When father Norton, millionaire
Norton, he was called, noticed the
growing Inetnlliness between, his only
daughter and Hie young nobody, whom
the Failings had inconsiderately in
vited to the country club, as their
guest, he merely raised supercilious
eyebrows.
Nanette seldom showed any admir
er undivided attention, and he be
lieved that this unusual acquaintance
would be of short duration. But as
time passed and Knight Eers, office
employee of an insignificant business
concern, continued to visit the country
club, and later to visit Nanette her
self, Mr. Norton became annoyed and
chagrined; for his obedient daughter,
for the first time In her life, Ignored
his request.
It would be wise," her father ad
vised her, "to cease encouraging young
Evers. You know as well as I, that
nothing can come of such an attach
ment. To put the case .frankly, he la
decidedly beneath you and your fam
ily, In position. Drop him. We have
other views for you."
But Nanette did not at once drop
Knight Evers. Though knowing her
father, she knew that he would not
relent in ids judgment. She won
dered, tearfully and vaguely, if Knight
should ask her to marry him, and Nan
was pretty certain that the question
was trembling on his different lips, if
Knight should ask her, would she be
able, after the diffident manner of
her raising, to make him a competent
helpmeet.
Would Knight be unhappy In her
failures? Would she be unhappy In
her restrictions.
Nan pondered seriously, nnd It was
Jim I? rent who came to be her father's
best aide. Capable Jim Brent, with
his poise nnd assurance. Her father's
friends called the man Jim naturally,
to most of them he was their confiden
tial hanker. He was an officer in the
country club, of which Nanette's fa
ther was president, and he was a bach
elor. This latter state, however, he
was quite .willing to forsake at Nan's
little yes. As yet. Nan had not quite
whispered It. But when she compared.
her future wifely duties at the ac
complished Jim's side, tfl those un
acquainted duties which she must
painstakingly learn as Knight's wife,
Nanette was Inclined to throw up even
love and Its sweetness for certainty
and the approval of her own family.
, So when Knight's question came,
spoken nil impulsively in the beautl-
till moon-lit garden. Nan was ready
for him. Knight had scarcely time to
regret what lie called his own "selfish
rashness" before Nanette uttered her
no.
"It cannot be Knight, good old
friend." she said firmly. "Love is all
right for sunny weather, Inn1 when it
comes to storms, the frightening
storms of life well, It really takes
more than love, dear." '
Knight had clinked up at the little
wonl dear, and had gone, blindly on
his way. The days that followed
were the hardest Nunette hud ever
known. Site hud expected to miss her
understanding pal, but she had not
counted upon the constant ache of a
longing heart.
And when, one day. Nan fled to the
woods, to he free from the chatter of
guest that wearied her, Jim Brent's
talk seemed like Idle chatter now, too
- Nan walked farther In the woods
than she knew. And there, a thun
derstorm found her. A flashing, roar
ing thunderstorm In the cathedral of
trees.
From childhood, electrical storms
had been Nanette's terror. Wild-eyed,
white-lipped, she waited. Before the
last fearful reverberation, she closed
her eyes. Then out of the threaten
ing darkness, came miraculously, two
strong protecting arms to enfold her.
Nan glanced up quickly, gratefully, at
the comforting sense of support.
Knight Evers stood looking down
upon her tenderly, forgivingly.
"Nan," he said, "my life has been all
trouble and ripped to pieces like the
storm clouds since you left. I ciin't
live without you, Nan. even If your
dad Is worth a million."
"A million dollars," said Nanette
contemptuously.
"What's It worth when you are rot
In the storm? A strong protecting
arm like youri, Knight dear "
Peace had followed the stwriu.

Making Extraordinary

Car Owners want more rubber on the tread where the wear is
hardest; more gum between cord plies to perfect a resilient and
powerful carcass. And they want a scientifically constructed Non
Skid tread with all angles and contacts to resist skidding and give
sure traction. Firestone Cord Tires have met these demands of
the car owners.
