He had been a splendid type of the pioneer—stalwart, powerful, active, and an unerring shot with the rifle, | but he was now 70 years of age. He knew the risk he ran from Indians, but he was brave, and the spot where he located was so admirable in every respect that he believed other settlers would speedily follow, thus steadily lessen the danger, until it should cease altogether. : Morgan was warranted in his theory, for common report placed the red men so far to the west that it looked un- reasonable to ccunt upon their ventur- | fug into this neighborhocd; but the Whorigines had a disagreeable habit of making their appearance where they were not desired. One morning. Morgan, having sent ! two of his children to do some work in a neighboring field, became uneasy over their long absence. and started in quest of them. Of course, he carried his rifle, for such was the custom eof | every pioneer in venturing the briefest distance from home. Reaching the field, the old gentleman was inexpressibly relieved to observe his youngsters at work, and he sat up- on the fence a few minutes to watch and give them necessary directions, It was while thus employed that he made the alarming discovery that two 1n- | dians were standing a short distance off, talking and gesticulating in such a Brave > Sg { BY EDWARD 8S. «a ELLIS. > TV fashion that there could be no doubt |, they were planning the capture or death of the little ones. The father instantly called to his children to run home as fast as they could, while he would cover their re- treat with his rifle. The house was | almost a mile distant, but the children, terrified almost out of their wits, im- mediately started on a run for home. | They were soon beyond danger, and the Indians turned their whole atten- tion to the pioneer himself. . | A score of years before, Morgan | eould not have been overtaken by any | ted-skin, but he was now too old to run fast. However, as the only re- source, he struck a bee-line for home, and ran a considerable distance, with a fleetness which astonished himself; but he couldn't keep it up and hoe speedily realized that he was only post- poning a deadly hand-to-hand en- counter. Another frightful disadvantage un- der which the old man was laboring vas the woods through which he was running consisted of thin scattered | trees nearly all of which weregtco small in size to afford shelter. Thus he was shut off from crouching behind one of the trunks, placing his hat on the end of his ramrod, and drawing | the shots of his enemies, in accordance | with the fashion of men, when placed in similar peril. But in dashing through the woods, the panting fugitive passed a large walnut tree, which he innnediately saw was the very thing he needed. To reach it, it was nece y to wheel about and run back a rod or two. HH. did so. The Indians failed to understand th» | meaning of the movement. It looked as if the venerable gentleman had sud- tenly changed his mind, and concluded to sume the aggressive. The result | was that the red-skins were so tervifiod that they turned also, and dodged in among a lot of saplings where they made desperate efforts to shelter them- gelves. It is not impossible that if Morgan had continued his retrograde | movement his enemies would have kept up their flight, but he prudently concluded to stick to the shelter of the walnut tree. ! At this day, it is hard to say whether his next proceeding was a ruse or not; but when he saw the frantic efforts of the Indians to hide behind the “sleck, lim saplings,” he raised his rifle and blazed away. From that pont for- ward one of the noble red-men failed to display any interest in the proceed- ings. The survivor, inst enough courage to wait until Morgan could reload his piece, immediately eprang from shelter and advanced up- on the pioncer, with the evident pu - pose of disposing of him before he could reload. ad of showing This compelled the old man to take to his heels again, for he did n t possess even a kuife with which to de- fend himself.

Our Dumb Animals Saved by a Collie Dog. Mr. Robert Macdougall, one of the meteorologists at Ben Nevis Ob:erv- atory, had a most exciting experience: when climbing that mountain the other day. His only companion in the ascent was a collie dog, to whom, he owes his life. When maneuvering on a snow-slide about 1000 feet above the half-way station, Mr. Macdougall lost snow was glazed and hard, he was soon being whirled down a gully at an alarming pace, sometimes head fore- most, at others the reverse. this juncture that the dog's sag came in. As soon as Mr. began to slide, it caught his coat with its teeth, and greatly imped:d the downward progress. The dog ultimate- ly guided him to a place of safety, after the twain had slid down on the snow for nearly 1000 feet.

Liberal Compensation. The author of “Inside Our Gate” tells of an exciting encounter between the family dog and an unexpected caller, and of the various and unexpected re- sults which followed it. Don was a very mild dog. but one morning, as he lay at the kitchen door a ‘vegetable man,” suddenly turning the corner startled him from his nap. He flew at the man, caught him by the trousers, and ripped one leg nearly up to the waist. The man shrieked, that sent Hilda flying into the parlor. My mother taking for granted that the man was bitten, and that he was very angry, ventured to the door to ask about it. There stood the vegetable man, hold- ing the cloth about his leg, and when he saw her he asked in a very mild tone if she would please lend him a thread and needle. “I really must apologize,” he said, “for coming so suddenly upon the dog. He is quite excusable; but 1 regret this rent, because I have on my b st pants. My wife insisted on my wearing them, as 1 was coming to the village: can’t be helped now.” Hilda gave him a stout thread and needle, and he sat on the back step and “sewed himself up.” Meanwhile my mother, aback by his mild manner, a pair of my oldest brother's trousers, brought them to the man, and gave him two dollars. “I am under great obligations to you, quite taken ma'am,” said he. “These pants 1 have on only cost 0 and the pair you have given me are worth fully that. I am afraid my wife will think 1 have over-reached you. You must let me give you a basket of pears.” My mother insisted on buying the pears, and the man went off in high spirits, saying, “Don’t blame the dog; he was entirely excusable, entirely.” Some weeks after this my brother couldn’t find a certain pair of trousers that he wanted to wear. They were almost new, he said, and he was sure he left them in his closet when he went to the city. My mother opened her eyes at me. “Were they expensive trousers?” she asked. “No,” said he, “I only paid $12 for them; but they were new and I liked them.” The tale of those trousers became a family mystery.

When grandma came into the nurs- ery, she saw Ted staring out of the window with a scowl on his forehead. cat's tail. “Oh, this rain is such a bother!” said Ted. “I was going over to John's to make a birdhouse, and I took my tools over last night to have them there; and now I can't go because I've got a cold and it rains.” “I saw a carpenter making a mud house the other morning without toois.” began grandma; and the three children came over, and clustered around her chair. “And that wasn’t all,” “He had no arms, and he his head.” “He acted very odd, too,” ma. lifting Dick up on her lap. he rubbed his fioor in, funny little song as he did it. went off for more mud. back, she went on. made it w.th *Iirst and he sang a Then he When he got he walked in every direction but the right one, and I thought he had lost his way: but really 1 think he wanted to make me stop watching him, for he finally got there, and he went on building, always singing his queer little |ong. enough, he pressed his head : one end until he had bored a round room in it.
