[Original.] 1
One morning a tall, blender boy ap
parent ly about sixteen and in uniform
% walked Into our newspaper otUee at
Leavenworth. Kan., and inserted tiie
following advertisement:
Information Wanted - Concerning my
parentage; have faint remembrance of
being in a big house on a hill, with ex
tended view, and a lady who I suppose )
* was my mother: next I remember my life j
with the Arapahoe Indians: a sijuaw [
took care of me; her husb;md was a white
man. though he was seldom with her. At j
?ne time when he hail been long absent
she >*-e me a locket attached to a gold
chail On one side Is the picture of a
man. on the other that of a woman, both
evidently refined persons. Letters *'N. F."
on the case. She also gave me some bits
of a child's clothing, cauttonlng me not to
tell her husband when he returned. He
came back suddenly, and there was great
commotion. The soldiers followed very
soon after; there w is a rtght; the Indians
were routed; the sijuaw man was taken
and hanged to a tree. The officer in com
mand of the troops, seeing I was a white
boy. took me to Fort Leavenworth. where
I became a drummer. I must haw been
taken from my parents twelve years ago.
when I was about four years old. Any
one who can rU thes** facts to an occur
rence will oblige
AKATAHOE JOHNNY.
The boy furnished an order ilrawu t>y
the colonel comma tiding at Kort Leav
enworth to Insert any advertisement
he ites: red. to lie fharRed to the colonel.
The boy was so handsome. so tnauly
and so ititclluetit taut I Itvaine inter
ested iti his ease at once. I woU his
comiileuce. ;:n.l he eoutided to me that
' he had com e: ved a boy's love for the
little daughter . f oue of the captains
at the for: jli nee his desire to learn of
his identity. I'V g;rl he told me. was
fifteen. 1 wrote an article about the
mystery art? :. I.:.,- the boy's birth, aud
It was copied tar and wide.
Letters came from all over the cjuu
try giving all sorts of disappearances
uuf .fu-estioiis for clews, but none of
ihA fitted aito tiie circumstances at
tending the boy's life and memory,
finally oue morning a man walked in
to uiy office and said that he was
the father of the boy who had ad
vert:seu 1 suspected hUu from the
. first lie did not resemble the picture
of the man in the locket, and he could
give U" proof whatever of his claim.
The boy felt as I did about it. and we
ujxised h:ni to go back to Baltimore,
where he shuI he came from.
Instead of doing so he remained iu
the town several days and one day
came into the otS-v with a gentleman
who produced evidence that he repre
sen ted one of the most respectable law
firms in Philadelphia. Arapahoe .lolm
ny met him in our office, and when the
attorney look?-l at the locket lie pro
duced other pictures of the man and
woman whose likenesses were iu the
case.
"My boy." he said, "roll art" .Nomina
Fanning. son of Norman Fanning and
Rosalind Hen. a rd. his wife You come
of au old aud uoalthy family of Phila
delphia. There was a 'blat k sheep' in
your father s family? Maur <? Fannin:;,
his younger brother? who was disin
herited l>y his father. I have no doubt
lliat. you l-ei:ig the only person except
your father, who was In had health,
between Maurice and the estate, he
kidnaped y ??u. brought > ?u to the west
and put you in charge of Lis squaw. A
man answering his description was
banged when you were taken by the
soldiers. He had committed so many
crimes that it is a wonder he didn't
kill you. This man who claimed to be
your father was in some way in league
with Ma'tr . .. I ".i :it: i :ik or cognizant of
his doings, we don't k now which, and.
seeing your advertisement, came here
to get you under bis control. Finding
that Impossible he wrote me that ho
had found you and I. as executor of
your estate, have agreed to pay him
$10.00" for his information. If correct.
Tou are heir to a fine estate left you by
your father, provided you shall claim it
before you cotne of age. If you had not
api>eared by that time it was to go to
charity.
"You bad better apply for a dis
charge at once, for it will require some
time to get one aud I need your pres
et "> iu Philadelphia. Besides, it is
M i time you were begiiHiing your
ecj'-ation."
I attended dress parade that after
noon at til-' fort aud saw Arapaiioe
Johnny marching about lieating his
drum as usual His case had attracted
a good deal of attention from the tirst
and now that it was known that the
young drummer was heir to several
millions tile whole garrison was out to
look at him. The colonel had offered
to detail him for his orderly till he
couiC'V put through the formality of
a discharge, but the boy preferred tu
remain with the band. I was princi
pally interested to discover his sweet
heart. especially as au officer's daugh
ter she had no busiuess to have any
thing to do with a drummer.
I soon picked out a girl who seemed
beside herself with excitement, and
as Arapahoe Johnny marched by,
while the command stood at rest, 1
earn:*' the telltale blush on her cheek
She was a little beauty, as lithe as a
young willow, and it was easy to set
that the only being for her on paradt
was the boy who beat one of the suart
drums.
Young Norman Fauuing as soon as
discharged went to Philadelphia, when
he attended school, and by the time ht
was eighteen was ready for Wesl
Point, an appointment which he se
cored by the influence of the colone
?who had helped him to advertise foi
?s identity. He came into his estat<
? when he was twenty-one and a yea]
later, after being graduated, marrlet
his love, who had been won when hi
was flourishing drumsticks at " For
Leavenworth. The only mystery lef
nnsolved Is how a captain's daughte;
and a drummer boy managed to mak(
love. But life is full of those mys
tarie*. EDMUND COMPTON'.

| Cause For No Cordova Mail
Giyeu
I For sometime no mail has been re
ceived from Cordova, and the cause for
| it has made wonderment. The follow
ing from the Juneau Dispatch might
explain it.
"No steamers are landing at Cordova
or Ore a. A few wee?s ago a yellow
(lag was hoisted from the hospital hal
yard and since that time the regular
steamers have given the camp the go
by. It is claimed that; the men work
ing on the new railroad wete restless
and getting resdy to quit in large num
bers. For this reason Or. Whiting,
the surgeon in charge, hit upon the
quarantine proposition. Sixty men got
their pay and waited for the first steam
er. It arrived, witnessed the yellow
flag flying and hove to, thee left the
sixty men. They immediately opened
negotiations for their old jobs and re
turned to the grade. As soon as the
rails are laid it is probable that the
small-pox victim will recover so that
the flag will come down. Then there
will be a rush of laborers for the ?oub."

In Time of Peace
In the first months of the Russia
Japan war we had a striking example
of the necessity for preparation and the
earlv advantage of those who, so to
speak, "have shingled their roof in dry
weather." The virtue of preparation
has -nade history and given to us our
greatest men. The individual as well
as the nation should be prepared for
any emergency. Are you prepared to
successfully combat the first cold you
take ? A cold can be cured much more
quickly when treated as soon as it has
been contracted and before it has be
come settled in the system. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cures of colds and it ehould be kept at
hand ready for instant use. For sale
