THE INDIANA PROGRESS, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 24,1915. Page Seven ooooooooooooooooooo Capturing a Bride Failure Meani Her Death. By ESTHER VANDEVEER ooooooooooooooooooo On the western count of Cenlrui America i.s a trilio of Inilliins who nro very proud of their ancestry, tracing it to the Aztecs, who were semi-civilized people. They trade with other races, but marry only uniong themselves. Nature In tropical climates supplies food In such superabundance that the natives may exchange what they don't need for what will provide other necessaries than food.

The principal food produced among this tiibe of Central America is eocoa- HUts. The Indians do it need to ciimb the trees to gather them, for they sire ripe they full to the ground. All day at the harvest season there is a constant dropping, and at Bight one who is unaccustomed to the sound will he kept awake by it. There seems to be a natural law Unit those who don't have to work for living consider themselves better thau those who do. Whether it was this immunity from labor or the fact of the Wne Aztec blood in their veins, those Indians would admit of no union among their people with any other.

Their coconnuts brought ships to their shores, und the sailors necessarily came ashore to load them. This was always done by daylight, but when night came every man on the island must leave. The Aztecs described by the Spanish conquerors were a delicately made race, and some of their women in their dusky way were beautiful. So it was with these Indians of Central America. They would go to the shore in groups while the sailors were loading their bouts with coeoanuts, and doubtless there were glances between them and the tars.

But the girls knew that there must be no further courting, for should there be the life of one or both would be forfeited. One day a ship was loading cocoanuts on tho shore of these proud people. Several girls stood oh the bank watching the yawls come to the beach, take on a load of cocoauuts and start back for the ship. This getting a boat over the breakers is always an entertaining sight. Several men walk ing in the shallow water would pull the boat out to where the oars might take hold; then the oarsmen, watching an opportunity between waves, would pull lustily in order to pass the next wave before it broke.

Unless the boat was skillfully handled it was liable to be capsized. The morning when the girls were watching the sailors the breakers wore quite high. The rudder of a boat coining from the ship was unshipped bj striking a bar a short distance from the shore, and, the coxswain not being able to keep her straight for the shore her side was turned to the iucomiuj waves, and she was capsized. Som of the men in her got ashore, am some were drowned. One was washed ashore some distance below where tin boat was to have landed.

There lay, rolled hither and thither by eacl succeeding line of foam that slid higl up on the beach. Ttae men who succeeded in getting ashore alive were helped by the girls who waded into the water for the purpose. One girl, seeing the body that had been washed ashore sortie distance from the others, ran to him. Lying unconscious on the sands, his ligbt curly hair stirred b.v the ever moving water, he was a picture o' beauty. He was Ned Phillips.

considered by his mates the daredevil ot their number. He never wont ashore that he did not get into a scrape and on several occasions had been saved by some of them from getting killed. The girl kneeled by him and lifted bis head In her arms. Whether it was their warmth or the change of position or that he had been revived by the air, he opened his eyes and looked into a dusky face with sympathetic eyes, all of which seemed very beautiful to him. He hod become exhausted shortly Injfore being thrown up on the beach arid was therefore not very far gone.

He returned the look of sympathy with one of gratitude, admiration, love. Then, staggering to his feet, he pulled himself together, and the two rejoined the others. But Ned was not in condition for anything but rest, lie lay down on tfao sand, and the girl who had raised him from the water sat by him and fanned him with a tropical leaf. For a time the oilier girls stood about them looking down at Ned's pale face and limp figure. But young people soon detest the mating of those about them, and one by one the girls stole away and left (hem together.

Presently one 9t the other girls came and whispered something in the ear of Ned's mate, and with a frightened look she rejoin ed the others. Some native men wen; coming. In due time, the sea having gone the process of loading was resumed. Phillips, with two other ineu Who had suffered by the spill, was left OB shore to recuperate. This was had policy so far as he was concerned, for the girls resumed their position as watchers, ami Ned caught a few moments when no native men were present to endeavor by signs and a few Spanish words he of vlilch the girl who had taken him in or arms he WHS rateful.

Forbidden fruit Is the n'vceleHl. This Irl knew (hat b.v eiiccoraging I his vliili; man she was bringing upon her- elf (lie penalty of dfalli, and Ned, too. vsis a ware of the fad. native ten were present, bolh were rircinn- jw'ct; when no one sailors hem Ihey failed to conceal the bonds hat were being bound around hem. An old adage is "Love laughs nl K'ksmilhs-." There were no locks aiii' eys for these lovers, but there were leiity of persons to noli! what was oiug on between them.

How they lanaged to secure a few moments now ndagain without being seen by any of ho natives or whet her they were seen some who did not betray them is matter which docs not appear. The ailors would do anything in their pow- to protect Ned. and it may be that he girl hud friends of her own sex vho would screen her. The weather proving at times unpro- )itious the loading of the ship was de- nyed, and Ned Phillips' love affair iad time to grow strong. Either luck avored him or friends helped tho pair avoid doled ion until the ship was eady to sail; then the storm broke ver I he heads of the white sailor and he Indian girl.

Ned had become so infatuated that ie resolved to attempt to carry his love away with him. The girl, though loath leave those who had been all the world to her for a new life of which he knew nothing, was ready to make he plunge, though she realized that if he failed in the attempt her life would je forfeited. The evening before the was to sail Ned pulled ashore ilone in one of the ship's The ndian girl was concealed in a grove jf cocoauut trees some fifty yards from verge. She had recently been suspected and was watched by one who saw her enter the grove. When ills person saw Ned coming lie gave alarm, but too late to prevent the girl from getting into the boat.

There was but little sea rolling, find was pulling from the shore when COUNTY AUDITORS' ANNUAL REPORT FOR TIIK YKAR ENDING January 4th, 1915. J. WILLIS WILHON, THKAHUBEB, IN ACCOUNT WITH INDIANA OB.

Maintenance 52.50 80.50 Warren, Maintenance 030.04 2,198.51 a short distance up the beach the girl saw a party of Indian men hurrying a canoe to tho water. A race was at land, with two lives at stake. Ned's muscle was equal to a spirited pull, and he gave way at once with all his strength.

The girl sat in the stern and covered her face with her hands. A ship's boat i.s not usually made for one'pair of oars. Although Ned had the smallest one of the lot, it was very heavy. But so much depended upon' the effort that he had strength fat- beyond what was natural to him. His distance from the ship was a trifle less than that of the natives, but they could pull much faster than he.

They were gaining on him, and he saw that despite the marvelous effort he was putting forth they would intercept him when the girl, who faced the ship, took her hands from her eyes, and a newly awakened hope shone in her face. Ned burned to have a look at what she saw, but: dared not cense rowing long enough to do so. But by signs she contrived to tell him that a boat was be ing lowered from the ship, and in another moment it was full of men and coming toward them. There were now two points at issue- first, to save their lives tho lovers must meet the ship's boat before the Indians could overtake them; second, if they succeeded in this a flght must occur between the rescue party and the pursuers. On came the sailors, now and again some one of the oarsmen In his haste striking the water and sending up the spray.

On came the Indians, paddling carefully, but rapidly. Ned could see only the latter and knew that unless his friends were pretty near it: would be all up with him and his love. He saw a man in the bow of one of the canoe.s raise a spear and aim it at the girl. While it was coming from the canoe Ned turned the boat just in time to save her. The man took iip another spear and was about to hurl it whon there was a report, and the spearman dropped.

He had been shot from the ship's boat. Tho three boats now came together. The canoe contained, among others, the father of the girl, who was bent on killing both his daughter and the man who was carrying her away from her people. The sailors, not wishing to kill the Indians, fought with their oars. The Indians had had time only to collect a few spears, and they were soon sinking to the bottom without having done any serious damage.

Ned kept his eye on any one who showed signs of injuring the girl, and no soon er was a blow aimed at her than he parried it with his oar. 1'Mnally with a blow he wont one of her enemies into tho water and upset the canoe. This ended the light. While the Indians wore hanging on to their canoe a man in the ship's boat threw Ned a rope. All gavo way, and Ned and the girl were pulled to safety.

When tho lovers were taken aboard the ship the crew, who had heen watching the flight and the flght, greeted them with a lusty cheer. Even the captain, whose duty it was to his men from interfering with the natives, with whom he traded, could not refrain from a hearty welcome. Contrary to what might have been expected. match turned out a happy one. Ned concluded to leave a seafaring llfo and settled down on (he coast of Now Knglaud, where ho engaged in fishing.

He has accumulated some means and owns the house in which he lives. He has several stalwart sons nnd comely daughters of darker hue than himself, but lighter than their mother, to whom he has often told the story of how she was captured with a death penalty hanging over her.
