They are creatures of & blight that has endured nay, has been cultivated through generations. They- have hugged their pain to their hearts till it has grown and prospered. The entire tribe of Crabclaws had its origin in two families, the Wrights and the- Robinsons. It has been only in very late years that any normal individual has found the courage to enter into wedlock with one of the community and face the possibility of a child whose body should bear the hideous mark. Hence from father to son, from mother to daughter has been handed down as astounding deformity a deformity which was inbred, from which no escape was possible, save by one of those singular freaks which in the crossing of leaves ope ehild white and another. black. f Their common lack, which binds them together in so close a unity naturally excludes them from the outside world., j The 1 men work sometimes for the nearby farmers when they have'rnot farms of their own to provide a livelihood for their families. But they are all keenly conscidbs of the horror excited by their hands and feet and unless they are working keep them carefully screened from prying eyes. If they go to the Indian reservation, which is close at ham, or drive into one of the villages to dispose of garden truck or butter, a shawl is d like a muff to conceal the daw like fingers. And yet by a contradictory impulse their intense love of jewelry leads them to decorate these unsightly stumps with enormous rings. 1 bey can use the mosrt. delicate instruments with their hands, and the men can readily shave them- - races-sometim- - I car-vie- selves. The Crabclaws arq as resentful nf the curiosity of strangers about their disfigurement as they are of the superstitious awe that attaches to it. Yet none has tried to controvert the of the story 0r'gin of this uncanny heritage. One many generations. Th6y speak of the curse with bated breath. BrieflyTt is their family history, never written, but told 'to 'eitcb of their descendants when they are old' enough to understand. Just how many years ago it happened none will say, but it was before the western part of 1 New York State was settled. One dark night a peddler travelling through this i region on horseback lost bis horse in trying to ford Cattaraugus creek. After the accident the man, drenched and shivering, descended the cliff. A light shone through the blackness, which on nearer approach was found to come from a 'comforfarm-houstable-looking and he made his way there. A powerful built man of about invited him to enter. thirty-fiv- e The' peddler asked if he could hire a horse to ride to Buffalo, thirty miles away, but the farmer replied that none of his own could be pared, though he added that he could probably find one at a neighbors the next morning, lie ended by offering a bed for the night, which the peddler ' gratefully accepted. In the kitchen, which he crossed to tjie large room the man indicated, the traveller noted a rough-lookin- g woman and a fragile girl of about sixteen with frightened eyes, who shrank back when he bowed bis greeting. A later story claimed that she was the daughter of wealthy parents, murdered for their money while driving through the unfrequented section. The peddler was given supper, which he ate sparingly, and worn out with fhe experiences of the day, went at once to bed. He was awakened suddenly by some one moving about his room. He rose and started toward the door only to find the floor sinking beneath him. He screamed and clutched at the sides of the opening as he went down, but before he could pull himself back a door descended on his hands. Its tremendous weight severed . the clutching fingers, and he sank into the pit, where he was left to bleed to death. It was hi3 dying curse, in voking heaven to bring upon these people and their children an injury like to his, thta they believe has followed them. Ever since that tinjp, according to the story, the Robinsons and the "Wrights, the two families re presented, have been afflicted with these maimed hands and feet. They have kept themselves apart and have perpetuated and will perpetuate the deformity for years to come, unless their intermarriage is prevented. Once & daughter of this strange people, whose young beauty had escaped the physical marks, left home and in the West was woed man of good family. by Coming Eadt, however, he discovered' the blood taint, and in terror and loathing. broke their engagement She later married one of her own community, and her children have carried out thq curse. and all admit that it has come from the Curse the curse of man foully done to page JOURNAL, LOO AN, UTAH, Y ONE 4 fr if t BUSINESS St. Paul, July 14.
