It is estimated that at least half a million dollars' worth of cigarettes, specially made for women, were dispos- ed of in New York in 1909.

Readers of Victor Hugo's graphic pen picture of "underground Paris," as giv- en In "Lee Miserables," will feel a pe- culiar .interest in the cabled reports of how the rising Seine has turned these great city sewers into raging torrents.

ILC - cording to the London Standard, not a single death occurred in the parish of Holweli during the last year. So far as can be ascertained from a search of the registers, dating back to 1653, this is a record without precedent. The ilieareet approach to it in the last century was in the years 1816 and. 1863, in each of which two deaths. occurred. The popu- lation at the last census was 388.

Death would have been a thensand times preferable, more merciful, for they discuseed their plans' freely together concerning their prey as they trudged. along the steep, narrow path, where none save those with the red, daring, hazardous blood of the Indiau In his veins would have dared to climb. The twenty miles, or more which these men traversed were as nothing to them used as they were to the mountain vastness. The highest point of the mountain Was reached by a circuitous route, so dense- ly' covered by forests of heavy under- brush that it was considered impassa- ble for Men. Toweed this point they bent their steps with alacrity, and in much exultation. It Was so far out of the reach of travel that no one in Had- ley was aware that on the height of the mountain the Pawnees, who refused to take advantage of civilized conditions, had a large tract of ground, on which they lived,' depending upon the wile ani- mals that roamed the forests for suste- nance. Twice had this revengeful, warlike tribe swooped down upon the thrifty inhabitants of the village of Healey, Ines- sacring men women and children alike, within the last five and twenty years, and now they only awaited another op- portunity to repeat their horrible, sav- age depredations. They had only been kept in peace by the utmost diplomacy on the part of the agents of the Indian reservation, and it needed but this affair at the Great Bear Mine to cause them to break forth in all their revengeful fury. The two hale -breeds clambered on- ward and upward, and an hour later reached their destination, the clearing on the mountain, where the rude shelter of the tribe was plainly visible from the fires that were burning fitfully here and there. The entrance of the two half-breede winistm. htheir burden caused great enthus- Joe, still unconscious, was thrown has- tily into one of the tents upon a pile of skins, and his captors sought the chief of the tribe to talk over the situation with him. Meanwhile the night wore on, and at last a faint streak in the sky heralded the apprnach of a new-born day, and 'with the dawn consciousness returned to our hapless hero. For a moment he lay as though stun- ned, gazing at his rude surroundings, and the canopy of dried skins over his head, and the bundle of them upon -which he found himself. He quite be- lieved for an instant that he was in the midst of a realistic dream, from which he could saot seem to awaken. But lit- tle by little his senses returned to him, and all id once he remembered all— starting out upon his perilous journey, carrying the wages of the half-breed miners, the accident to the stage on the mountain road, the veiled woman who had been his companion, the bandit of the mountain, whom he bad recognized. by his voice, disguised as it had been, as the handsome stranger whose horse Nor- ine—sweet, tender little Norine—had shod, and whom she had never ceased to tall: about ever since. With a wild cry of horror Joe at- tempted to spring to his feet, and as he did so he clapped his hand over his breast pocket. Great God in heaven! The money was gone; and with this horrifying discovery came the knowledge that he had been terribly injured, for the effort te reach his feet caused him such a terrific pain that he fell back almost fainting upon his rude pallet, unable tp move hand or foot in his excruciating agony. At that moment a shadow darkened the doorway of the rude tent, and rais- ing his agonized eyes he beheld the tall, brawny figure of one of the half-breeds, whose face he recognized instantly. "So, so, you know me?" sneered. the fellow. "I told you when last we el:treed that an Indian never forgets an injury, and sometimes waits long for hie re- venge; but it is sure to come. You -had me discharged front the express office for taking a ham, and that was the worst hour's business you ever did. It was your turn, then, Brainard, but it is my turn now, curse you! "I suppose you are wondering where you are?" he went on grimly and: inso- lently,. "I will tell you. You are in the hands of the Pawnees, the most deadly enemies of the palefaams, the tribe whom all your Government agents have never been able to bring into sub- jection by threats or treaties." Joe tried to speak, but no sound came from his lips. This intelligence, coming so quickly upon the heels of the horrible discovery that the money in- trusted to him was gone, rendered him fairly speechless. Indeed for the instant his very reason tottered. "You do not answer," returned the half-breed, "and it is well, for at the slightest outcry a score or more of Pawnee braves would. be here to riddle you with their arrows, for they have all heard of your treatment of me, and are thirsting for revenge." "You did not tell them that when I was the village schoolmaster I taught you to read and write—ay, even to speak as well as the white man," cried Joe, at last finding his voice, hoping against hope that this reminder would waken some tender feeling in the heart of the brawny half-breed for Joe had (TO be continued.)
