Thru in.han sini iKT.tiiio very fresh, and one morning old To:n startt-1 out on a s-oiit. Two oilii-r o'.-l huutcrs will the party remained in tamp. Tho Canadian runs lotisi-le of si mountain rane for several liuudrod miles, and th.s ranu i br.k n wild many small valleys atuk rrei-ks. Tout went to tlif eaM as l.e left i-j:iu, k -(-in;4 between the foot hi.'.a an t lac river. He was on fot and a'ett, bit altera wa.k of an hour he divovcre-t nosins, and had t toin l'.i.le th.it thu In.haus had approached from the o;hcr threv tion. Juntas h was on the p-iint of turn-ns I Mick he found a spring ot ico ro.d water, and had to lie don on li s lto:u.v Ii to reach it and c.ilis!y Ins t:urst. He was drinking when aosne lh:n nli-h!ed on Ir.s back. His first tlmn-ht wai that it was a panther, hut next :ntant h aw tlin iems of a redskin, an l knew that lir was a pris oner. When pnlie.1 to his feel ho found himself in the presenc of three Cinuin. 'hen. who were out alter j;:int. 1 lis treat surprise seemed to please them iuimetis'.y, and they ollered h:m no violence whatever. He was first tin ariiind. his hands then tied heh:nd his back, and the Indians avo him to un derstand that he w.u to ac. omp itiy tlietu to tlieir vill.l. While th.-re w.us no Indiau war at that tune, the savages were hostile to any Hill all while men who invaded their domain, and old Tom swiftly realized th.it ho was in a had s-rape. He could sMak and understand tho CAmaii-h dialect with perfect ease, but this fact hn kept to himself. As they moved away uiio of his captors said : "He is an Old hunter, and we shall have a oo-1 time burning him. He is probably the leader d tho party bo low.'' Tho prisoner was conducts! nbout tl'.ree miles up the river and a iniiii to the east, at which po:nt a Comanche village was located. It was in a valley about three miles Ion;; an I a mile wide. mid contained ot) or 70 da. Nearlv all the warriors of the village wero away watching the white party, but as louii as tin: p: i mer entered lu : .....,- A messenger was dispatchel to briim them in. Itefore noon all ha I returned and there was irreat rej"'.. -inij over the capture of the hunter. Tho head chief of th" tribe was expected at the ra'iip on lle morrow, and it was decided nt to do .-invthing with the prisoner until his arrival. Tom whs nhoved into a lol an 1 threo w arriors placed on u trd over him. Tom le ard the friends disi-ussin in what ways they should tortun; him. One of tho irnards said that he had .seen, a white man himtf tip to a limb with a itirk trust through the bones of his les, ns the farmer hangs up a slaughter ed ho:. an I that h- lived for hall a d iy. f ne w anted to skin hi'ii alive, r.tioth-r lielieved in a slow fire, and almost every one who ca ne tip had a iij. stion to make. It was ronce.l?i that lie would die game, and that his ejal had not been capture 1 for years. It was '.' o'clock next morning beforo the hi? chief and his tta?r arrived, an 1 an hour later the prisoner was brought out. Tho warriors had arranged th-.;u-aelves in two lines, and were armed with lubs and switches. ld Tout was t.iken t the head of the lines, and a warrior who could speak a little Mulish, made hint understand that hi w.is to run t t lie foot of the linn and return, and that if he rati fast and tron.; ho would Ikj set at liberty on his return. This was all !tn 1, of course, but it is al ways '.riven out to ewry prinon-r to e: eour.nre him. Thi chief call.'d out to the m -n not to hit tho pi is mer ti hard, and all was ready lor the nt.irt. To it intended to wheel R-jitar about and run for the river. Thure was not one chance in a thousand for him. but he preferred death by the bull-t to death by torture. He was even brai-in himself for his run when there w- rj fdiotits of alarm nil around him, and ha saw two Indian loys comm.; down the valley on horseback, makin i;ns as they came. Tom was hurried back to th- l'l;e, the villa'o was all ev.cit nient, an I in five minutes .VI warriors wer ri ling up th valley. Tom ti.Mire l that some of his p:irty wero ncoiititu: aro in I to learn his late, and that they had com- into the valley an 1 had lecn seen by the village sentinels. This, as was aitei wards ascertain 1, was th correct s'ipHs.tin. The Indians did not retnrn until five o'clork in the aftern-wtii. At a!out six old Tom was brought out aain, and this time he w aa tied to a stake. For onie r.Msun the redskins had decide 1 to spare him the gauntlet. This was from no leelinjrof mercy, of cotir.s-. but tiieir lon ride had probably tire 1 them out, There was no ossihle show for ma to make a break," s.iid tho old man. "I was backed up to the stout nt.ike, my hands and my fet were tied to it by strips if j;reeu hide, an t tht-n they were ready lo bein business. I saw tnem jrettinjs their knives and toma hawks r-.idy to throw at me. and in my desperitioii and despair I railed out at thein. spjakm tbe tirst words .sincerity cantor.. I reviled and cursed tiiein and dared Ibem to do their wor-t. ami while I uassM.ikiu; the sul-cliiel, who was the heaJ of the village, and w h oso name was SHtted Hors . tiirew UJ hid arms and fell back dead." The chief was no doubt predisposed to heart bs-'as'. lie had b-en in the 8; Idle for six or seven hours, laboring uii !er a keen excitement nil the time, and it needed only the increased excite ment brought on i.y the hunter's de nunciation to precipitat" the fatal stroke. Th-it the Indians consider 1 it an act of Divine veneaiice was plain in a mo ment. It w.is scarcely known tht ho w.is dead ln-lore Tom was uuti--d and rondu.-t-d back to the lodge, and tho villa-' at once went into mourn n-. "It was two days liefore they buried him," .said To n, "and mean while I was well treated, but closely guarded. On the third day I was taken out aain. I had heard the reds discussing tin? mat ter from all .standpoint. Saic contend el that I was an evil spirit, an-! if not er:ui!ted to depart wou! I work them some terrible calamity, while others argued that I jnust Ikj burned and my ashes scut tered to the winds to propit iate th-? evil one. Those who held to the latter opinion were in the majority. I was not to bo tortureL but burned alive." Hewastic. to tho ame stake. an4 the fagots heajie.1 around him, but just as they were lein; lighted he broke out in fierce raillery aain. His word at!. ted the whole crowd, but he would no doubt have perished had not nature co ne to his aid. The hush which had fallen up hi the villao was broken by a far o f roir, and a moment later a cyclone swept into the valley from t!ii fiat like a r.i'in? lion. It' came au J was pmc in ' seconds and anad wreck was left liehiti'L Every lo-l.-e was down, and many of them carried awav, while many of tho people were hurt, and two children kiliel outright, by failing limbs an I flying debris. "I never savr Indians lose their headi as thos.i chaps did," said old Tom. 'I was left quite alono for the next .pi.irter of an hoar, while thoso who had es caped unhurt were runuin; nlwnt in : i-hildish way. It was just rowin dusk w h-n an In liau p iny was led up lo tho stake by th.s head chief in person. I was cut loose by a warrior. li!t-d upon the wny by two oth -rs. and toij by tho chief that I was at liberty to j-.i. I was too da.ed to understand, but they j.iv the horse a ai.ip tin I away wo went. Fit the next minutes I was no but ter than an idiot or crazy man, but my senses soon returned and I haw through it. They regarded me as an evil spirit an I wanted to ;ret rid of in-?. My r;:lj was strapp.! to the saddle, as was every other url.de they had taken from me, and th-.'v ha I jjiven me no: their lest hors-i. Insulj of two hours I was back at our camp, b it only to find iln parly ;oiie. They had become aiarmisl and moved about miles up thi stream, where 1 found them nxt day." Tom not only had the Comanche out fit t' prove the truth of what ho viid, but the nuxt year, when tie chiefs of the trilvi hel l a nw-wow w:lh a ov em inent commi-siou, the entire story was told anew by the Indians, and many inquiries were mad-.' as to w h it ha 1 bo come of the while mail's deviL Ham. A home is not a mere alielter from the weather, nor is it only a place in which to lodpt ami cat: nor yet is it a show room for furaiture or a niiifHrtiru. f.r bric a brae. It is the living place, where thn courtesies of life are to be cultivated and where health and happiness, peace and projijK'rity are to combine to make life a aublime joy. Home should be the neatest and mrst Ixautiful house your means can provide. If you cannot atl'ord a whole house, take part of a house. See that the situation is healthful, the outlook as pleasant as possible and the plumbing, drains and ventilation in good order. Then keep every part of the place jierfeetly clean. Have a pla-e for everything, and see that everything i in its place. Allow no dirt holes in closets or corners. Si-e t ba the cellar is as clean and tidy as the part lor. M it h disease comes from decaying vegetables and stale rubbish-heaps in fonl ce liars. llequire everybody to be absolutely neat and careful in the use of the bath room and its ldoiiffin;ri. Dont make your jrarret a storehouse fur what ought to be sent to the junk shop or throw n aw ay. Some people keep as food for manv generations of moths old clothes, which miijht be given to the Mor or s.ld. If the home contain a musical instru ment, learn to plav on it, ho that the mu sic w ill lie a delight and not a Ijore to those who listen. Kverv meal ought to lc a pleasant fes tivity, Fiowever lain the fare. I'ring to the table all the joyful jrotal cheer you hare. Pleasant conversation at table is a delightful seasoning for iueu!s. It keeps olf dyspepsia too. Every one who lives in the home should contribute his or her full share of all that helps to make home happy. Any one who is sulky, or sour, or cro.-s, ought not to come to the table, but should go to some private corner, or to the cellar, rather than shed gloom over the others. However tired or overworked you may be, it is no reason for being growly or severe. We all have our burdens to bear. I,ct us l8ar them cheerfully. Make frieniLs and neighlon and guents welcome when they entvrthe house, and bid them heartily make themselves at home. Parents should make home the place to which their children will look back w ith tender and loving memories, how ever far they may wander from it in their afterlife. Home life and home surround ings have a lowerful influence on the next generation. ( "Copy" from the Trlrrraph Operator.
