The frontier was being comlied fine for Fevert, but thus far ha had succeeded in avoiding arrest Miss Brown, baffled, would not acknowledge defeat "Well, get me a buggy, then, she conceded. The military governor laughed. "You might as well ask for a horse," he answered. "I can ride," said tha American woman fiercely. "Unfortunately," said tha governor suavely, "every horse and wagon Is taken over by the German govern meat" And then he pondered deeply. He was seriously troubled about Miss Brown. He had gathered, from words she had casually let drop, that she was related to somebody attached to the American legation at Vienna.

It was the accursed American woman about whom I telegraphed your excelieucy yesterday. Slie was driving the donkey of the daughter of General I'fiff at a puce of two miles an hour, and I instructed iny men to cease firing for fear of hitting her, since she Is a cousin of one of the American attaches at Vienna." The French held their charge, too, though tlielr cavalry, In reserve behind the bill, intended to perform a maneuver in the nature of a suritrlse. So, between the two hostile linea Mlsa Amanda Brown drove the donkey of General Ififfs daughter. But the truer account of the affair was glveu by ths enterprising correspondent of Le Figaro, who, serving as a trooper in the Tenth cavalry, participated lu the skirmish. "When the American woman had A last crossed the danger aone," he wrote, nha Germans resumed their fire. The order being given, we saddled hastily and mounted, and so reached the crest of the lilll. "Charge I roared the colonel, standing up in his stirrups and waving his sword. "With a wild answering yell our brava fellows dug spurs Into their horses and galloped straight for the enemy. And at that morneut a bullet pierced my horse's heart and he fell deed beneath me. "You can Imagine my disappointment at being left on the field, not even wounded. But, as X watched the advancing line of our cavalry I saw tha most singular sight that I ever witnessed. "For in the wake of them came tho mad American woman Mlsa Amanda Brown of Boston. Whether tbe ancient donkey resented our attack upon hla countrymen or whether his aged bones were fired with the spirit of war I cannot tell you. Certain it la that, flinging himself forward In the hafts, he galloped after our horsemen with a speed almost equal to theirs. "And In the cart, standing up and waving an anrlent parasol, was Miss Amanda Brown. "The charge was the work of about one minute. Our brave fellows flung themselves against the enemy, draft them from tlielr trenches and sabered them unmercifully. By the time the Germans were In retreat I waa standing up beside my horse and shouting In Joy at the victory. "And after the galloping horses Vent the donkey and Miss Amanda Brown. " 'A mascot I I seres rued, beside myself with Joy. 'Eep, eep, oorahl for Miss Anmnda Brown I "And I started running as fust ss I could go to where the panting donkey stood among our soldiers, turning their horses' heads back from the pursuit and waving their dripping swords. Verily the crazed American woman had brought victory to tha arms of France. Evidently onr soldiers thought so, too, for they had gathered round Miss Brown and, pulling her from the cart, they raised her upen their shoulder and carried her homeward In triumph. And another party alsq raised tho d donkey, saluting him as a German. "When at laat I met them Lieutenant Doyen waa at my aide, raging. Ho shouted furiously to tha men.

Tho young Indian warrior digs himself a round hole In the ground the size ho wishes to make hla shield. He then takes a piece of rawhide twice tho desired size of tho finished product, and stretches it over tbe hole, pegging It Into the ground. A fire has been started In the hole so that when the skin Is glued a shrinking process will start until ths skin has shrunken to its desired size. Following this material preparation for tbe manufacture of the Indian weapon of defense, all of the friends of the young Indian are summoned to dance around the hole and Invoke tho plrits to keep away evil from tho shrinking shield. Finally the dance 1 completed, and tbe fire ia put out. When the hot leather has cooled, tho "medicine," or "totem," or "charm" of tho Indian Is painted upon the hide, and decorative feathers fringe Ito edge. The shield of tbo Indian waa guarded as the most sacred possession of the warrior, and never was parted from Its owner until laid beneath tho head of the dead fighter In his graven unless given sway to a worthy young warrior or laid as a most precious gift at the grave of child or wife.
