An Apache Princess - Page 162/162

There is another room filled with relics of their frontier

days,--Indian weapons, blankets, beadwork,--and among these, in a

sort of shrine of its own, there hangs a portrait made by a famous

artist from a little tintype, taken by some wandering photographer

about the old Apache reservation. Wren wrote them, ere the regiment

left Arizona, that she who had been their rescuer, and then so long

disappeared, finally wedded a young brave of the Chiricahua band and

went with him to Mexico. That portrait is the only relic they have of

a never forgotten benefactress--Natzie, their Apache Princess.
