By CHARLES B. LEWIS M. QUAD*. [Copyright, 1S94, by Charles B. Iiewis.l During the various Indian outbreaks in Kansas, covering a period of 30 years, scores of women and girls were carried away captive, and but few of the number were ever restored to their friends. Of those ransomed or recaptured none had a more exciting exia-rience to relato than the fdrl familiarly known to hunters. scouts and soldiers as Little Sue Hodges. She was the daughter of a man named Frank Hodges of St. Joe, Mo., who shot a man one night in the year 1800 and hail to fly the country. She was then 12 years old and motherless, and her father, who was a gambler, had real es-

INDIANS IN PURSUIT.

tate in St. Joe, Leavenworth and Kansas City valued at $7r>,000. This property had been left him by his father. A week after leaving St. Joe he was killed on a steamer on the Mississippi river. The girl Susan yvws at this time living with a family named Clayton at Leavenworth. The Claytons had no children, and when they heard of Hodges’ death, without hearing that the daughter was heir to a lot of property, they determined to bring her up as their own child. To get away from people who knew them they joined a party of pioneers bound for the western frontier of Kansas. Near the present site of Hays City the train split into three sections, and the Claytons bore to the southwest in company with six other families. There were seven men, eight women and 16 children in this party. Susan being counted as one of the children. There were two other girls a year older and two or three a year or so younger. I have heard Miss Hodges tell her story on three different occasions. and I will let her relate here in tier own words the incidents of her capture: "After the party divided a man named Bingham was elected captain of onr train, and before the day was out he was drunk, as were also two others. Next day three of the families left us, and the old man and the two odd women went with them. This left three families of us. or 14 persons in all. Mr. Clayton was not one of the men who got drunk, but the other two were. He remained with them because he had had some words with Bingham. We traveled one day and then went into camp, and both men were drunk again. This left Mr. Clayton to guard all, and I can remember that he was very much afraid. “We had siA'ii Indians that afternoon, and everybody felt that we would be attacked before morning. The three women did nothing but cry and bewail, and the children cowered in the wagons and tried to go to sleep as soon as they could. By 10 o’clock all were asleep except i Clayton, the three women and myself. They did not know that I was awake. I heard Clayton tell them he could make no defense, and if the Indians came he should surrender and hope they would treat us well. After that I determined to get sway by myself. I crawled out ' of the back end of the wagon and started off in the darkness, and after a long time I came to a creek and a grove and hid myself. “I was only a mile from camp, after all, and though I fell asleep the noise of the Indian attack aroused me. It was 1 just in the gray of morning. There were 30 Indians, and they killed the three men. two of the women and several of ; the children. They took what they wanted from the wagons and then burned j them and drove off the horses and cattle. | They did not leave the camp till about | noon, and when they went away they passed so near me that I could count them and recognize the faces of the capI tives.” The girl had escaped death or captivj ity by leaving camp, but her situation was a serious one. When the Indians had disappeared, she started down the creek, hoping that by following it she i might reach the cabin of some pioneer. She hurried forward all that afternoon ^ and part of the evening and slept again . in a grove of cottonwoods. She was folI lowing the creek next forenoon when she walked right into an Indian village of about 40 lodges and of course was at once made captive. The heroines of fiction are always handsome. This heroine, at least, of fact was not only a plain faced girl, but she had a temper like a wildcat, as the Indians very soon found out. It | was this fact no doubt that saved her life. When the squaws and children discovered that she would bite, scratch and kick at the slightest provocation, they let her alone, and when the men realized that she had lots of pluck they were j read}’ to protect her. It therefore came about that while she was not formally adopted into the tribe she escaped most of the brutal treatment generally bestowed upon captives. Realizing her helplessness, she made the best of the situation, and in a year she could converse in the Indian dialect. She frequently heara j from the other captives, who were tradJ ed about, and once saw two of them, but | was never in a village with them. As her clothing wore out she gradually adopted the dress of an Indian maiden, and exposure to sun and wind had ; tanned her skin until it was hard to separate her from the others. At the end of the second year of Miss j Sue's captivity all government troops in the field had orders to make every effort to rescue her. The efforts of the guardian had not been relaxed, and a bit of romance had come into the search, A i young man named Hanley, living in aom.A town in Arkansas, had heard and

read oi tne case, and ne ntted mmseit out and took the trail to rescue the girl. He was only 20 years old, and he was a butt of ridicule whenever he came in contact with the soldiers, bnt it was through his instrumentality that she was finally rescued, and he showed such pluck and persistency that everybody was glad to give him a word of praise. The Indians shifted altout a good deal, as the troojis were hot after them, and at the end of the second year Miss Sue was in camp in northwestern Kansas. There had been constant fighting with the soldiers, and the ranks of the warrfrrs had been terribly thinned out. The village was hidden away in the hills, and all the fighting men were absent to oppose the soldiers. The old men, squaws, I boys and children left behind in the village numbered about 20(1. Game was scarce, and the squaws and children were sent out every day to dig roots and pick berries. The white girl shared this work with the others, and one day, when separated from the others, she discovered what has since been called "Susie's cave.” It is on the Solomon fork of the Kansas river and in one of the counties near the Colorado line. A limestone bluff runs along the north bank of the river for several miles, with two passes through it. The bluff is from 6 to 40 feet high and was at that time well covered with brush and timber. Miss Sue discovered the entrance to the cave by accident as she was looking about in the west pass a hundred feet back from the stream. What she found was a rocky den about 10 feet square, but she determined io hide herself there with a view of ultimate escape. The Indians made a vigorous search for their captive for two days, evidently believing that she was lost, and while they were abroad she did not leave the cave. For three weeks she did not go far away, as she wanted to tie sure that the Indians were no longer on the watch. Then young Hanley came iiikui the scene. He was scouting alone and in search of the village below. He was on foot and had not seen a white man for a month. The meeting was a fortunate one for him as well as for the girl, for he was hardly in the cave before he was taken very ill and for the next two weeks could not raise a hand. Miss Sue had discovered that the cave was only an anteroom, and that back of it were two large chambers. In one of these was a spring, and so she had to go out only when food was needed. She could gather nothing hut roots and berries and do but very little for her patient, and his strength came hack very slowly. He had a brace of revolvers and a winchester rifle, but the girl would not have dared to fire a shot outside of the cave had she seen any game to shoot at. While searching for food one day she was surprised by a squaw who was out from the village for the same purpose. The squaw at once seized her and began dragging her along, but after recovering from her surprise the girl attacked her, and a desperate fight ensued. When the squaw found herself unable to take the girl into the village, she tried to get away from her, but Miss Susie realized the peril of the situation and determined to prevent. As the squaw was retreating she was struck on the head by a stone and staggered over the bank into the creek. Miss Sue sprang after her, and the water being about a foot deep she held the squaw’s head under it until she was drowned. She then dragged the body out and hid it in a bed of weeds and grass, where it was found and devoured by the wolves. Among the injuries she received at the hands of the squaw before the victory was achieved was a cut across the right cheek, which left a had scar for life. Hanley was almost able to travel when he had a relapse, and it was five weeks

THE TWO PERSONS WERE MISS SUE AND HANLEY. from the time he came to the cave before he felt able to walk a hundred feet. He could gain no strength on the food * brought him and yet did not have sufficient to get away. In this emergency Miss Sue determined to steal a couple of horses from the Indians. The village had been moved about 10 miles down the river, and the warriors had returned from the field and were planning a long move to the south into the Cherokee strip. She left the cave one afternoon and made her way down the stream to the village, but owing to the near approach of a scouting party of soldiers there was great excitement, and she found no opportunity to carry out her plans. She got some buffalo meat and flour, however, and this was the first real ( food that Hanley had tasted for almost six weeks. Three nights later Miss Sue returned 1 to the village in hopes to get the horses. They were being herded below the village, and she had to make a long detour to reach them. The herd was in charge of four or five Indian boys, all of whom except one were asleep. She must have bridles, at least, and to secure these she had to enter the village. She made her way among the horses and secured one and led him half a mile away and returned fora second. Mounting one, she led the other and about 2 o'clock in the morning returned to the cave. Hanley was so weak that she tied his feet after he had mounted. Camp Sheridan was the nearest j>oint of safety, and that was over 50 miles away. They had made about 15 miles when daylight came and atsmt 10 more when they discovered Indians in pursuit. Miss Sue was hardly clear of the 1

camp when tne loss ot tne norses waa discovered. Troops E and F of the Seventh cavalry had been on a scout for Indians and were about to return to Fort Wallace. At 10 o’clock in the forenoon, as the head of the column reached the crest of an unusually high ridge, the sound of rifle shots came down on the light breeze from the north. The whole command set out at a gallop, and at the end of a mile we looked down on 15 mounted Indians circling two persons who had taken cover on the crest of a sharp knoll, and while one was digging up the earth with a knife the other was firing upon the Indians, though without effect. The two ]>erson8 were Miss Sue and Hanley. They had kept a good lead on the Indians until her horse stumbled and broke a leg. Knowing that the other must soon be overhauled if carrying double, Hanley had dismounted, and they had sought cover to fight to the last. He was so sick and weak that he could have inflicted no damage on the Indians had they closed in at once. They had a certain programme to follow, however, and while they wasted precious time we were galloping up. As our approach was hidden by the ridges, they did not discover us until we were ready for it. They were about to charge the knoll when we swooped down on them and created a surprise party. Their ponies were so nearly blown that we had very little trouble in coming up with them, and the three who got off owed their escajie to dodging more titan running, Miss Sue came down to us as cool as yon please, but Hanley had fainted away when he realized that rescue was at hand. I know the reader will be disappointed at the ending of this story, but it is not one made to order. Hanley and Miss Sue did not marry, as you have expected they would. To be honest about it, they did not take to each other in that way. He thought her altogether too plain faced for a heroine, and as she had rescued him instead of his playing hero it probably made a difference. At any rate, she afterward married a Missouri farmer, and the last I heard of him he was working in a Colorado silver mine. The Duke of lieichHtarit. According to Mollien, Napoleon was so devoted to his son that it roused the jealousy of Marie Louise. The Austrian government was afraid that some attempt would be made to rescue the boy from its clutches. All the French part of the household were dismissed (some of them had cried out “Vive 1’empereur!” on hearing of his arrival at Cannes). The poor little boy wept bitterly at parting with his governess, Mine, de Montesquieu, who had never left him since his birth. Every moment he was calling out for his mother, "Mama Qniou.” When Meneval, who had been the confidential adviser of Marie Louise, left for Paris, he asked the little king whether he had any message for his father. The child cast a suspicions look pt the new Austrian entourage and retreated to the end of the room. Meneval followed him, when the boy said in a low voice, "M. Meva, vous lui direz quo je 1'aime tonjours bien.” When he grew up, he worshiped the memory of his father, and for that reason never liked his mother. Prince Esterhazy told Mr. Greville that the Duke of Reichstadt, as he was then called, was petri d'ambition, and that when he heard of the July revolution he said, "Why was I not there to take my chance?” Day and night he pored over the history of his father's glorious career. He shone at the head of his regiment and acquired the hereditary art of ingratiating himself with his soldiets. He was to make his first appearance, said Prince Esterhazy, at a hall at Lady Cowley’s and was burning with impatience to dance and flirt with the beauties he had admired in the Prater. He went, but there he met two French marshals—Marmont and Maison. He had no eyes and ears but for them. From 9 in the evening to 5 the next morning he conversed with them without ceasing about his father. He died of a premature decay brought on by overexertion and overexcitement. How the young eagle must have fretted in his gilded cage!—Temple Making It Ka§y For a Seeress. Here's a true fortune telling story: A lady here had an out of town visitor. She well knew her visitor's tastes and her inclination to have her fortune told in every way—by palmistry, by cards, by stars or by an old almanac. With her everything went, and she had tried famous clairvoyants and professionals of every degree. One day the hostess suggested to her visitor that they have their fortunes told, and they went to a 60 cent fortune teller. She was a kind of hag and used cards the old, old way. The visitor didn’t care. It was fun for her, but the old hag scared her badly. She told her past life to a dot, described the appearance of her lietrothed, the color of his eyes and hair, his habits, how he had treated his girl and all the minutite of her daily life. It was all set down to the smallest particular. When they came away, she was all excitement, and she told her hostess all about it. But the fair hostess laughed and would not believe a word of the story. But the lady said: “Indeed, and double, I'm telling you the truth, and I think she is the greatest fortune teller I ever went to see. Indeed, Mamie, you must give her a trial.” And Mamie did. But, to make a long story short, do yon know what the two had done? Each of them had seen the fortune teller on the sly, the Cincinnati girl liefore the visitor came, and the visitor when she was having her fortune told, and each had given the fortune teller all the tips she needed. And then they ’fessed up to each other.—Cincinnati Tribune.

Then* Is one I know. I see her sometimes pant In the morning streets upon her way to mass; A calm, sweet woman, with unearthly eyee» Men turn to look at her, but never stop, Rcailing in those blue depths the death of he pe. And a wise chastisement for thought* uo»wiae. Pure is her brow, as of a marble saint; Her brown hair pencils it with ripples faint. There is no shadow on it and no light; Her cheeks are pale, like lilies in eclipse; Hardly a little redness on her lips Paints the sad smile where all the rest !■ white. Tall is she and bent forward like a reed Which the wind toys with as she walks wttfe speed; Girilike her limbs and virginal her waist; Of the world wonders there is none so sweet As is the summer lightning of her feet. Speeding her onward like it fawn in haste. What is her secret? All the world has tried To guess it. One 1 knew in guessing died And was no wiser for his mortal pain. Each has turned sadder from the thankless quest And gone hack silent, even if he guessed. Knowing all answer would be counted vain. I knew her once. 1 know her not today. Our eyes meet an me times, but hers turn away Quicker from mine than from the rest that look. Her pale cheek quivers, a flush comes and goes. As in the presence of a soul that knows. Ami her hands tighten on her missal hook. Men have done evil, yet have won to heaven; Lived in blood guiltiness, yet died forgiven. May 1 not, I too, one day win my grace? Ah, no! the sacrilege of this worst sin Outweighs all grace. I dare not enter In Nor kneel, God's robber, near that angel fare. --London Hun. Lines to a CynlA He daily trod the ways of busy men.
