.When Jack was a little fellow, above all stories ever, told him those of Indians an the, warpath were most interesting. There was an old settler living near us who used to tell us three 'scared but fascinated children most marvelous tales of the days when Red Leggins' tribe 6f Senacas had swooped down upon the little village he bad lived In and had tortured or destroyed the whole population over night. Jack's eyes grew as big and round as saucers, while Lottie and I clung to each - other, shivering with terror because of. the vivid realism with which he would paint the scenes. But It was after supper when the lights were turned out we paid the piper for the dance.-1 closed my eyes so tight 'they ached, but still I could not shut .out the bands of Indians who came stealthily crawling Into the bedroom, carrying their bowie knives between their teeth and waving their long-feathered helmets as they crept nearer and nearer the bed. It was after we had gone on the stage that ' our opportunity came to travel on the road and go to the west we children had pictured as still overrun and made dangerous by unfriendly Indians and roving bands of wild animals. One of the other little boys in the company bad given Jack a copy of "Buffalo Bill," which we all three read with dialatlng eyes. When mother caught us we rushed into her arms and clung to her skirts, imploring her not to take us west, where we were sure -to be tortured to death by the Indians. Nor would we listen to her description of Mr. Reservation Indian, sleek, fat and as good natured as our old Jersey cow. If Jack hadn't promised faithfully to protect Lottie, and me in case of an Indian uprising, we never would have bad the courage to survive the ordeal of packing.

Jack, being the man of the family even at six, was a hero in our 'eyes. The Indians of Reality. 1 Going through Arizona we saw our first Indians, saw those poor unhappy creatures eking out a meagre existence by making blankets and baskets. They were dirty, cringing, but friendly enough at the sight of a coin, and the little papooses, strapped on their mothers' backs, were bright-eyed and merry. There were no feathers, no painted bodies, and. In spite of Jack's ernest inquiries, no one bad heard of an Indian scalping a white man in that neighborhood for the last fifty years. So we set the Indians aside as very commonplace, a stupid, brown people, working for; Mr. Griffith in the old American Biograph, we went to New Mexico to take a picture among the Indians. It was midsummer -and. when we reached the desert the heat was overpowering. It was 120 degrees, and as fast as we put the make-up on the grease paint would melt and trickle down our cheeks in little colored streams. - I was to play the part of a halfbreed, and as Mr. Griffith had studied the costumes nd characters of the Indiana we came prepared to make a picture which would live because of its historical value. .The Indians are very curious. When we ventured out' they followed us, amused and interested. From long range they watched us set up the camera, afraid we might turn it on them every minute. As a half-breed girl I bad darkened my skin, and because of my high cheek bones and breadth across the brow I deceived even the squaws, who took me for a half caste from another tribe. The bucks walked around me apprislngly, and expressed their admiration by their broad, sheepish grins. Tbey seemed anxious to please me and gave me little gifts of wampum and flint arrowheads. . I blush as I tell it, but I accepted them quite coquettisbly! - All went well, and until one of our

actors, dressed as a medicine man, stepped out hi full view ready for the scene. With one accord "the Indians all arose and circled around , us. mut

tering in guttural sound, which by their tone were anything but pleasant. ;

Mr. Griffith asked one of the Indians

what was the cause of the. uneasiness, but at frst he wouldn't, tell us. They glared at ua and finally three or four of them walked up to the actor, threatening him savagely. They . sent for their council and from them we found out" the actor had on a beaded belt

sacred to" their gods, and they looked upon It as a sacrilege, believing us to be making fun of their pagan creed. On the Wareatit. ' . 'Mr." Griffith- explained to them in every language but Indian how much we respected their ' religion, but they were now on the warpath and the whole village circled, around -us like a swarm of roused - hornets. - They threatened to destroy - our - camera, and the actor who had caused the uprising , almost despaired of - getting away alike. Of course we were all

scared to death- except . Mr. Griffith, and his only worry was because we had not finished the picture and had three or four more scenes to take.- He

had not noticed how well I stood in the - favor of the Indian boys, so he

sent me about the entertaining of them to distract their attention while, In a

desperate hurry, he took a couple of

scenes.

This further antagonized them, and

he was called into the council cham

ber. He gave us instructions how a

certain scene be wanted should be taken and left us, our knees trembling liken aspen leaves, but our minds

made up to do or die! - .

We pretended we were finished and

made our way through the crowds to

the station, where we sat as if watch

ing for the train. One. by one they

slipped away and, finding -ourselves

alone, we sneaked to tbe location Mr,

Griffith had pointed out to us. It was scary business and there was little time for rehearsal. In fact, we had no sooner taken it than a band came over the hill and started after us. We ran as fast as we could pell-mell through the village and back to the station. Mr Griffith had just arrived there and tbe train was due in a few

minutes. If the train, had been delayed

there is no knowing what our fates

would have been, but we scrambled

aboard Just in time.

When I told Jack all about it he said: "Gee! Mary, but wouldn't your curls have made a peachy trophy if

the Indian chief had scalped you!

It was a long time before I did my

second Indian picture.

THERE IS A VAST AE1Y of men and women who really never know what it is to enjoy sound!, vibrating health who would be surprised to suddenly gain that exhilarating vitality that robust health brings.
