The story is thst of a white irl rtnl sn Indian boy, survivor of a bloody at tack on settlers in Dakota. Brought up together, they grow to love each other. The girl haa hern adopted by a wealthy ranchman. The boy has been given a splendid education. It Is the ranchman's wish thst they be married at onoe, a he ha not long to live. The first act de velop these facts, and showa the quality of the Indian' courage, when he, un armed, subdues a drunken cowboy who Is terrorizing the place. The climax of the act Is n easterner's objection to the marriage of the white girl and the In dian. The second act (hows the return of the girl from the east after her adopted father's burial. A cousin ty big attentions baa undermined to some extent her affection for her Indian lover, rihe stands ready, however, to live up to her promise to the Indian. Preparations are being made for the wedding, when the cousin come In with a crowd of Intoxi cated cowboy to stop the ceremony. The Indian tell them that any objection will be fatal.

Not a bit of It. The greatest strain of an "Iron Jaw" act Is not, as it would .'seem, upon the teeth. Instead, It centers upon the mu.ies cf the neok and shoulder. A long as these cat) remain tense and contracted, the muscles of the "Jaw remain likewise. But allow the neck and shoulder muscle to relax and the strain become too great. Therefore It la that in training an "Iron Jaw" act, the principal practice I that of atandlng on one'a head. Hours are consumed at this until finally the "Iron Jaw" artists can stand on their heada for an hour at a stretch. Then, and only then, are they deemed strong enough to attempt to hang by their teeth. Of course the Luckeys are to appear SHE HAS THE LEAD IN WILD OLIVE.'
