They were chased, not get away with the animals, headed them toward a steep canon of perilous descent. side, and escaped homeward, The other hesitated at the brink of the canon, when a bullet sent it headlong among the rocks below. Then the thieves fled to San Juan's unoccupied cabin, Peso was in formed of what had been done. The renegades declared that they would never urrender.

In the confusion the unhurt renegade leaped through the doorway and disappeared in the mountain, At the camp after the parade the Apaches put aside much of their finery and gathered in groupes for games songs. Their singing always attracts a crowd to the tents, The fashion is to sit in a circle, the leaders in a row, provided with tom-toms or other sounding mstgfe ments and the rest of the party wi twigs, if procurable, or sticks or any- thing with which they may beat time on f the hand. Two Comanches, renegades from their own tribes, and known as Comanche John and Domingo, handsome fellows, with hawk eyes and perfect teeth, are the best singers of the band, John has providad himself with a large dish-pan. His knees are spread far apart to hold it. A half-dozen others have tins of various sizes, the smallest being n dipper. Buckskin has been stretched into drum covers for joints of stovepipe and for kettles. Bows tightly wen the legs of three or four others, and one genius has fashioned arude instrument with two strings re- somblingTa banjo. Every performer has a stick about double the lengthand thick- ness of a lead pencil. John or Domingo sets the movement, and when all the lit- tle tins and toms toms have caught the rhythm, which is a fast vegular beating, and the bow-strings are thruming and the palm-switches fall- ing in time with it, whoever may be in the lead starts a monody. A compass of five notes is rarely execeded except to strike an occasional octave, and there is invariably a minor refrain. The entire band keep at this for hours, with only oceasional momentary resting-spells. As the song progresses members of the circle riso three or four at a time, and bob up and down with beacon-like faces. The sbbing is said to call muscles in play that would quickly exhaust persons not used to it, but it looks like a tame and lazy performance. The signal for the end of it is given by an old fellow with a striped reed, on which he pipes a suc- cossion of nerve - trying motes. The Apaches have given exhibitions of horse- manship and of their tribal dances, It is a thrilling sight as they tear around the race t honuds on the scent andjtheir ing with excitement, One iy from it of the fervor of the chase or thé terror of attack when the wretches feel sure of vic and given open battle. . The horses dashed onward like an - untamed they would trample each 1 their eagerness at pushing to the front. The Mexican interpreter on a fast pony broke away suddenly at one of the exhibitions from the grand stand and called on the Indians to catch him. He had not gone half way round the third of a mile track when a carbine was at his head and the pack surrounded him. At their dances all clothing is thrown aside except the clout ing strip of cloth known as ¢ The performance is much more than the informal affair above described, their bodies being painted in most gro- tesque style, and the dancing being not only demonstrative, but attended by quaint ceremonies to which bonfires often lend a lurid charm, A legend is usually re-enacted in the long dances, which are apt to be little more than tests of endu- dance, performed here during the first woek of the exposition, lasted continu- ously for four days.

On the second day of the exposition, as he was arvanging his wares, his wrist was grasped from behind and he turned to see the figure of an Apacho woman vanishing m the crowd, leaving with him a silver cir- clet from her own arm. **That means,” sxplained: in the evening, as he pul back his cuft’ to show the ornwment, * I must see her before either of us le the place, she doesn’t ves Sho is probably married, but get, It would be as good was worth to take off this .

I. A weck ago he eloped with Ellen Ahrens, th wife of a neighbor. The story is a good one, Mr. Ahrens is a clam-digger at Can rsie, The principal products of Canarsie are | mogquitos, very bad whisky, frogs and clams, Jefore the big hotel at Rockaway was thought of Canarsie was a port of entry. It was not only a port, but a sherry, claret and bee entry. The residents of Brooklyn or New York could go down there every day, hire boats, go out, come back, and catch all the fish and other things they wanted by paying for them Canarsie is situated between Sheepshead y and East Now York, and the boats that used to start from there to Rock way beach do not start now, because they an not climb over the trestle-work built | across the bay by the Rockaw people. Mrs. Ellen Ahrens 1s exactly 23 years of age, Benedict's time, and is a plump | and pleasing person. She is the mother of three children, The gay defaulter | with what did not belong to him is 50 | years of age. Mr. Ahrens hunts the gay and festive clam and yells it through the city streets, after he has crawled up to it when it is | asleep, put his hat over it, pulled the | feathers out of it and prepared it for con- sumption or any other disease in the vernacular. While the former was engaged in his enterprising work he chanced to espy Mrs. Ahrens, He dropped his hoe im- mediately and looked at her sunny f Then they exchanged winks. After that Mr. Guiler was a constant visitor at the Ahrens mansion. The Ahrens mansion wasn't much of a man- sion, but it was mansion all the same, and had a front door, a back door, a roof, acow-yard, a well, and a nanny goat. There is room right here—in the desc tion of the pl for a_romantic_story, but the repor er of The World is dealing in facts, W M., Ahrens was away on his ex- citing chase Mr. Guiler bewitched his Mr. Guiler had a wife and e children, but he went to the Ahrens man- | sion every night and whispered words of love into the not unwiiling ear of the fair Ellen. “Whithersoever thou goest will T go. Thy fly is my fly, and thy hashmy hash!” said rlie unsuspecting Ellen, when the be- guiler had notified her that he was will- ing to leave Canarsie, the claims, and the mosquitoes, frogs, wife and eight children. She imagined that it was an |even thing and took the train with her contemporaneous false one. They took no baegage. Mrs. Ahrens lefta babe in arms and Mr. Gulier left several children in club. The scandal spread through the town |and the residents of the place, who are almost all clam farmers, threatened to | hang the male eloper if they could catch |him, Tar and feathers were talked of.
