The experience of Lord Wolseley
of the British army has been such
that he has always made it a rule to
allow, whenever possible, the sol-
diers under his command one pound
of tobacco a month, which he consid-
er* a fair allowance, and with the use
of which he'finds the soldier does his
best work. In Italy the military au-
thorities recognize tobacco as one of
the comforts essential to troops and
cigars are served out to them with

aid an occasional shake down to
the raspings of a weezy fiddle.
When our party arrived at the
river and the old man ferried us
acjross, be invited us to go into camp
at a spring in his yard. We were
detained several days, waiting for
ths presence of Captain Hayes,
chief engineer of the International,
who wished to accompany the party
urtil they made a good start with
tbp survey.
The old ferryman’s home was full
of j pretty girls, and it was joyful
elws to be detained.
(The spring weather was delicious,
thi nights jus! cool enough to enjoy
thh great blaze of the log fire.
[The young ladies were very coy
an|d enjoyed looking at us through
thf chinks of the cabin. Ot course,
we were anxious to scrape an ac
quiaintantance. There was one
member of the family that they
ca! led Lindy Ann, that struck my
fancy. She was a wild rose in the
wilderness. So entirely different
tram her sitters, so sensible, so
simple, frank and demure, that I
w4s attracted to her at once. Then
1 ijked the name, Linda Ann. It
wa* a pretty old fashioned country
name that we had heard back In the
Suites.
At last the ice was broken.
There were seven girls, pretty and
she answered.
The tallow dip had been ex-
tinguished, Linda Ann re-animated
the dying embers with a wooden
poker. The room had a low ceil-
ing, warmly turned by the whiffs
smoke of fragrant woods that had
escaped beyond the jaws of the old
time fire place and spread them
selves in soft enfoldments along the
the mortared surface.
There was nothing handsome in
Inter evenings, before the cheerful I *ide the old bouse’ but the 8ir5 now
close to my side. The more I saw
of the girl, the more I realized that
she was far superior to her sur-
roundings.
Here is where the line of primo-
genitiure comes in. Tnere must
have been some rare old blood
the Peters family. Linda Ann was
a lady; untrained grace, unconscious
beauty describes her.
The old fire place glowed as
woman when happy. A row of big
red apples was m the hearthstone
and the rich pungent ot oozing juice
and burning skins filled the room.
Lindy Ann got an old apron and
cooled them off. There was a ro
mance in the Brazos bottoms, or
rather a legend, that when two
young couple ate apples after mid-
night, it was sure to bring good
luck, and make them love and
marry. We didn’t know it at the
time that Linda Jane was tiying to
conjure us.
I say, Linda Ane, I like you
very much!”
And I return the compliment,
Mister Polk.”
Now this untutored child of the
frontier could scarcely read and her
writing was like bird tracks. Be-
fore we separated that night I told
her as sure as there was a God in
heaven that I would not forge* her,
and that when I was discharged from
the survey I would come for her.

and we little thought a parting for-

A more graceful creature never

A sister of Lindy Ann bad mar
r:ed and moved to the far west, on
the borders ot the Indian country.
At Austin we received a letter, etat
ing that she was going to visit the
sister, and the travel waa one hun-
dred miles and had to be performed
on hortebeck; that it was a lonely
ourney, that her friends and parents
cautioned her to look out for In
dians. She waa to be accompanied
by a couain. Both wera fully armed
and prepared for any emergency,
and mounted on aucb fleet poniea
that no Indiana could catch them.
They drove a small herd ot cattle,
which would make the trip long and
tedious.
In the order of events Lindy Ann
expected to reach her destination
and deliver the cattle in four weeks.
There waa a poaaible danger from
Indians, who had not quite yet
abandoned their raids on the Texas
settlements. In tact, the Com
manches had ffiat spring slipped
away from the Reservation and
killed a family of movers on the
Pecos River.
A long and unusually hot summer
bad scorched the prairies and ahnv-
eled the grass. Even the buffalo
had disappeared from Texas and
gone to the cooler regions north ot
Red River and the Canadians. The
Indians dad retired to their reserva-
tion to teed at the government stall,
until the next year's grass.
In imagination we can follow the
tearless girl and her companion over
the longest and most lonely road in
the world; in the mountain fast-
ness and through Indian haunted
canyons. There is no telling, and
it will never be recorded of what
passed on that lonely journey.
When night came down like a re
lentless doom, of all places the prai-
rie waa the most loneseme. The
serenade of wolves, the hooting of
owls and tbe flight of night birds
produces an undesirable feeling ot
terror. Even the camp fire looses
its cheer. What were the thoughts
of Lindy Ann a* Night folded her
gently in his arms and woed her to
sleep? Perhaps she thought ot an-
other traveler who was threading the
plains.
Well, tbe last camp was made,
and the next night the home of her
sister would have welcomed her, as
the distance to be traveled was only
fiiteen miles. Tbe home on earth
was never reached, but a home in
heaven was. With love in her
heart and the futnre so near, it look-
ed as if an angel might have risen
up betwixt her and fate.
Lindy Ann and her consin were
timed to arrive about such a lime.
Her brother-in-law told his wife
that he would go as far as the creek
bottoms, to meet them. They had
been expected for a week. He rode
to the woods that border the creek
and a sight met his gaze that froze
his blood.
A girl was dead and bad been
scalped, and worse still, her person
bad been abused. Why should the
fates be so pityless and unsparing?
A little farther away, the naked
and mutilated body of a young man,
stuck full ot arrows, lay stark dead.
His throat cut, his eyes gouged out,
his tongue torn out by tbe roots and
thrust back again into his mouth.
The ugly inturned moccasin tracks
told the story.
“Commanches.” exclaimed the
terror stricken man. The cattle,
few in number, had been driven off.
Tbe settlement was alarmed and the
pursuit ot the Indians followed.
They escaped, but were pressed so
hard that the cattle were abandoned.
The dead girl was taken to tbe
home ot her sister and laid to rest.
There is no land so lonely that it
has not us grave. By this lone and
wind-kissed mound, albeit probably
unmarked and now forgotten, sleeps
Lindy Ann. Not forgotten; the
very thought it a sacrilege. Such a
woman is seldom met with in this
life. We used to think united in
purpose and effort, Lindy Ann and
I could do anything in the world.
Now, after forty years, the dead
girl rises in vision. Tbe bright,
strong face which said “good bye”
at ihe prairie parting, in the full
glory of her beauty and her woman-
hood, is no more at the cabin on the
Brazos: the cruel scars of the Com-
manches’ knive have disap-
peared, for m paradise tbeTe is no
disfiguremen’. She seemed to be
looking for somebody yet to come.
Perhaps “when life’s fittul dream ia
over,” and I cross the river with the
grim ferryman, tbe first to take my
band when the landing is reached,
will be Lindy Ann, the wild rose of
the B azos bo toms.

Dr. Alien, of Aurora, a* a cham
pion of tbe peanut, found a vigorous
ally in Mrs. M. Heath, of Chicago,
now 79 years old, at a meeting of
the Anthropological Society of that
city. After an address by Dr. Allen,
attesting the bappy result* in bis
own case of an exclusive peanut
diet, Mrs. Heath bore her testimony
in his support by saying:    “I know
what I am talking about. This liv-
ing on peanuts as the sole article of
diet is no experiment with me. For
six months I have eaten peanuts in-
stead ot meat and many other famil-
iar foods, and I am better now than
I was ever before in my life. I am
70 years old now, but I am positive
my system of living is going to pro-
long my life for many years to
come.”
