WbaNte morning dawned a savage yell arotunl tlw camp and the chief sprang to his feeri^ A glance betrayed the fart that his rapti?Miad disappeared. Darting from his lodge he found one of Tiis guard lying cold in death before it. It was the discovery qf the body which

had raised the alarm.

At the rear of the lodge the second gnard, whoso name was Altamaha, waa soundly -sleeping. At first the chief thought that he.-too, had been slain; the confusion aroused the savage, and springing to, bis fret he gand wildly around him. He knew the penalty of his negligence, and be trembled when be contemplated bis position. He had reason to do so, fur at the command of Tamo Chid* he was instantly seized and

firmly bonnd.

A savage was found without the cir-

The trip of George Francis Train around the world has recalled some of hbecccntric doings when he waa wealthy. Nearly twenty-five years ago he waa in Denver and had called for beefsteak fur

abused the waiter and the cook, bnt he got no satisfaction, and finally swallowing hb anger and a portion of the steak wandered out into the office, where he met the proprveUir. The subject of the steak was dbcmsud between them in animated language for a few minuto*. when Train suddenly asked: "Bay, what will you take for thb hotel and get out today? You don't know bow to run a hotel” The proprietor named $45,000 as hb price, which wa* a figure far above its real value. "All right." aaid Train; •Til take it. Make out the papers at onon-sfid I will make out a chock for the amount.” The hotel was duly transferred to Train, who discharged the waiter and the cook, ran the establishment for two weeks, called in an anc-
