Sho Died Came After a Five Days' Combat. On the great plains of Kansas, sev. enty miles due north of Sheridan, there is a lonely gravo on tho cret of a sterile mound. It may be that no one could lind the spot today, for the storms of summer and winter wash great isvines in the earth, and level even the hill-tops after a time. Hut I saw the grave twenty years ago, and at its head stood a board on which was painted: I Here lies ; ; .Mviiv Km ma I.i k, : ; w ho was '. ; killed by Indian : on this spot after nn heroic defense. ; ; in .Inly. lsi.T. : As 200 cavalry men grouped around that lonely grave every man uncov ered his head in revcreii'.-o for the dead, and tho story of that young woman's death has never boon told around a e.un:i-liie in the West with out making ui"u's hearts a. 'be. This is iho story : There wcro live or six fiimilie of emigrants journey ing across the lonely plain-, when they wcro beset by hi-tile Indians. Mary L-e win a girl, only eighteen cars ol I, and ha I been brought up on the Imva line. The family cm-si-led of father, mother, two sisters and a brother. The attack was made very suddenly, and Mary, who was riding her ow n horse, was cut ell from the baud. When she rcalied this, she turned and rod.' away and was pursue 1 by seven Indians. Thi was at about '.I o'ciock in the morning. Her horse can ie I her thirty-six miles before he became exhausted, and w hen lie fell she made her way to ihe cn-l of Ihc mou: d and there scooped out a shallow l itb'pil, piled stones up around it mid prepared to die lighting. The Indians were three miles behind her when her lioro gave mil. She bad a Winchester rifle, which wil fully loaded, but no ex Ira cartridges. Her first shot killed an Indian and her second crippled another for life. I lie other live dared not charge her pnsj. tion. On the second day -he killed another Indian, and the other fuui p isted themselves in positions and waited for huiit'er and Ihir-l lo con quer her. On Ihe third day ihey were joined by twenty of their band, but the gill was not attacked, tin thi day an Indian, who was creeping up to spy upon her, was shot through the right lung, and Ihe others conten ted lheint 1 es by a drooping lire at lone range lo harass her. On the fourth day not a sled was fired. Tho weather was teiriblybol, and tho sun glared down on thai mound until the gra-s withered and shrivelled ami seel I about lo flame up. Oa I be fifth day, an hour after neon, the girl shot herself through I lie head, ad was dea l before any "lie reached her. 1 afterwards talked with one of the warrior- who was there, ami ho told me that she had been almost roasted alive by thai tierce sun. She had neither food nor drink, and was little better than n skeleton. The Indians simply stood about and looked dow n upon her. She bud a wealth of golden hair, but they did not sca'p her. She had rings on lier lingers, but ihey left hem there. They did not even lake her lifleimr the saddle from her dead horse, 'While squaw heap brave tight hard no scalp !" That was her eulogy. Two or three years later her scaltered bones were collected and buried by a surveying pally, and to-day her dust mingles with the sterile soil lil'iy ui'les from the Ilea' est dwelling of one of her race. Hioued and bearded Indian lighters, reckless and de-periile row boys, stern faced ami laciliirn pioneers have whispered the name of Mary Lee around the evening camp fire a thousand limes since her death, but ever and always wilh gentle tongue ami a swelling of the heart. She was not oulv a woman, but she had died game. New York World. A Fox Farm. On A. I. Howards farm in ihe billy region of Mehoopany Township, Pennsylvania, a rocky held is sue. rounded by a tight board fence, ten feet high. The lot is the home of numerous foxes, an I the boilom of the fence re-is on solid rock to pre vent tho sly red animals from running away. The only entrance to (he Held i through a -iroig wooden door fastened w i I It a padlock. Ono day last week Mr. Howard w ho i-.ilbril'tv t farmer and an ciiihiisinsiic sportsman initikted a visitor into the mystciic of hi rocky los far p. Three sleek hounds followed Mr. Howard to ihe tall fence and played in the adjoining woods, while ho was showing his vis itor through the Held. There were no signs of life inside the fence when they entered. In tho center of ihe lichl there was a succession of rocky ledges, in which there wcro many lit. tie caves and crevices for the flock of foxes to hide and breed is. Here ami there at the foot of the shelving rocks, a long and narrow plank box, open at one end, lay on the ground. I built the fence four years ago tl is fail, said Mr. Howard," "and Ihe foxes have been breeding in these rock ever since. One reason why 1 built tho fence was because every fox that tho hound had pretty well tuckered out within two miles of here dodged into these ledges when he got. tired f run ning, ami that put an end to the chase. The other reason was because I , thought l could m iki! th foxe breed here, so that I could catch one ami turn it loose whenever 1 wauled to give the hounds a chrisc. I gene ally , keep llio fox in a pen for a day before I I urn him loose, ami 1 give him half an hour the start of the hounds. Whenever Ihe dogs hole a fox, 1 ami ' the boys dig him out and put him hack in the field unless the ground is froen hard. Mr. Howard then look a box of raw meat from a hole in tho ground, and threw a part of it over the fence. ' It was twelve iiiiuuies before a single fox came out of Ihe rocks to devour il, ami in Ie-- than thiee minutes afier ihe li:l one bad ventured forth, lif iccn or .-ixleen greedy red fellows were tearing at llio meat and lugging il away lo their dens in the rotky ridge.
