Reticent Red Men.

Chicago Herald. No one knows where an Indian is ffoing. Travelling Q,cro§s the plain _ lb a stage or an army ambulance you will see him afar off' galloping as if he had been sent for the doctor and was afraid he wouldn’t find' him at home. Approaching you as the two paths cross he will usually rein up, exchange salutations,, study your outfit closely, checking his pony to the slowest of walks, and. without asking a question, will know just where you are going, what you are going to do and what food you will probably give him if he calls upon Sou at your evening fire. Then lie ; off qgain, ranging easily in the saddle, and soon disappearing from sight. The land from which he came is as empty as that into which he has vanished. There is not a sign of human habitation in either direction. He has probably come twenty miles since dawn, and will, unless he concludes to camp with you, make Another twenty before drawing rein.
