"Hello, colonel! Come out of this and tell mo how you got this s-'ar," said tho prospector for facts. "This scar? Oh, yes, I recollect Well, I got that mark from being too game. It all happened Inst winter. I was living oh a ranch near l'easo Bot tom, Mont, and after the regular fall wind-up three of the boys, Catfish Johnnie, Roaring Harry and Yellow stone Joe, proposed that we take a trip through the Yellowstone park. This was largely because Joe, as his sobri quet indicated, had seen a good deal of experience in that tourist-haunted part of the country. He had been a profes sional guide therein at a period ante dating our acquaintance, but with which period this story is in nowise con cerned. It is quite probable that Jot wanted to revisit his old stamping ground so much that he was willing t<■ have the expense of the trip divided up tigmng -three companions rath r than to bear it uil by himself. "Hut the story which I am now tell ing you must bo more remarkable for facta than suspicions. After a long nd delightful trip we came within the shadow of the Yellowstone mountains and camped. It was a delightful spot Cn one side ran the tracks of the Northern Pacific, and every few hours trains rushed by. On the other side a little stream babbled and sparkled. It Was about noon when we halted. There were high hills all around us and plenty of timber. "Alter dinner we sat on the railroad waiting to see the overland express dash by, when from the brush down the track three men came out. They strolled along in the direction of our camp. We were a good many miles from a station, and it was an unusual ly suspicious circumstance to sec these fellows tramping along the tics. They were bad visaged, and their general appearance did not impress us very favorably. As they got within about one hundred yards of us they hullooe ! in familiar wild wc.it style and ap proached us civilly enough. The spokesman said that one of their horses had either strayed or had been stolen, and ho wanted to know if we had seen j auy horse answering the description ( which he gave. Of course, we had not, ' and invited the strangers to eat din ner with us. They did not seem to be ut all disturbed about the missing equine, and during the meal stated that a good many horses had been lost in that country witliin the past year because of the dishonesty of certain people. "They told Us that their camp was down the track in a ravine about a mile, distant, and said that they would be? glad to have us take dinner with them on the morrow. We promised to do so. However, there was some sneaking sus picion down In the sub-cellar of our minds that something was crooked about the whole business. This sus picion was not calmed in inv way by the calculating glances which the party bestowed on our armament, and stock. That afternoon it was decided that wo should picket our horseJj and stand watch by turns throughout the night. It is u very common practice with ex pert horse thieves to simply swoop down und stampede the stock of an outfit in true Indian fashion, but this programme will never work where the stock is picketed. In a ease of this kind the depredators simply sneak around the camp like coyotes and cut the ropes. "In our outfit we had one very wild horse. He was as wild as a mountain goat He would run if you'd point your linger at him. The only restraining influence which lie acknowledged was that exercised by another horse. The wild horse was so absolutely stuck on his four-footed friend that he would cat and drink with him and never seem satisfied without being in his company. Ti'ue, he wouldjly off at a tangent., but he would come to his mate, wagging hi-, lail behind him. We picketed all \ •1. , s excepting this one. It was 1 twoen twelve and two o'clock when ] i-ing Harry, whose turn it was to t.: nd guard, entered tlio prairio h ■(.m i- and turned us all out quietly .vith th % lv.nar'c that something was up. The wild horse bad run up aloug sid 1 hi:, gentle friend and was puffing anl snorting in a perfect fever of fright, "We reasoned that the thieves had r.pT reached the camp and run on tho untai i 1 animal. They would conclude from this that tho stock was ut largo, and would most likely attempt to stam pede it. With this theory in mind, we took positions along the trail which the thieves would follow should they swoop down. My perch was under an overhanging bowlder, where I could not bo seen for the gloom, and from where by tho faint light of tho stars I could see pretty clearly all that went on on one side of the wagon. It was snow ing and blowing, and otherwise un pleasant. Wo had been on guard this way for perlinps an hour. Everything was dead still but for the howl or cry of some wild beast in the timber. We thought that wo heard something which sounded like hoofs away up the trail. Nearer they came and more dis tinctly they sounded as they struck the frozen grou nd, from which the snow had been blown away. Then the sound ceased. The party of horsemen had halted. We knew what was about to come, and every man took a firmer hold on his Winchester, and took good care that the hammer was up. Then there was a sharp clatter and a rush. Down the trail the thieves were dashing full tilt, "As the squadron emerged from the shadow of the pines their outlines could be seen. Ilnng! Bang! Whiz! Click, click! Bang! Bang! Two horses dropped and one rider bit the dust, as they say in the novel, and his steed pressed b}'. Others of tho party rode by in a hurry. One of the horses dropped directly opposite my station. Evidently his rid -r was full of life and hope, for he arose on his knees, and I knew instinctively that his gun was going to his shoulder, when my trusty rifle flashed out. Tho blaze of my gun was the signal which located me to rnwsw m I UNDER AN OVERHANGING BOWLDER hkn. He replied as quick as thought; th : o was a blinding flash in my face; 1 felt a whiff of cold wind; something warm streamed over mo; I knew that I was falling, and then all was blank.

Then they pointed to three grewsomo objects ranged side by side on the edge of tho trail, with their ghastly features concealed by blank ets.

The Illini have passed away forever. Under mighty mounds, grass-covered andllower-erowncd, their hones are laid, yet not forgotten. They have given their names to the streams, lakes and towns of the white race that came after them; and through these tlieir traditions live, to this day, in the memories of white men. Four hundred years ago when all this new world was for the red man, a bright stretch of that prairie land, which now forms so large a part of the s*ate of Illinois, once attracted tho fierce eyes of a roaming party of Iro quois. These had cotno from the cast. There had been no need for them to stray so far away from their villages. Their hunting grounds at home were 1 vast; their skies were filled with birds; their rivers teemed with fish. But the Iroquois, coveting the vaster hunting 1 grounds toward the setting sun, found • the Illini across their way. So they hated them. A peaceful band of Illini had built their lodges on a beautiful stream. On its banks were ancient oaks end state ly walnut trees, shaded by which they ; could lie and dream in the hot hour A of a summer's day. From the edge of the wood, and as far as the eye could see. extended the grassy prairie, gay with scarlet lilies, phloxes and morning glories. Dear was this prairie to the very heart of the Illini. The Great Spirit had given it to their fathers for them to enjoy its sweet breath, and to their children after them. There, for uncounted moons, had they passed their days in a careless, happy, lazy | fashion. But one day— lonp-remembered an j full of the sun ami his tflory, of the sweetness of flowers, of the sony of ' birds, and the hum of bees—while warriors, squaws and children were irlim ■ is MfWjm WATKEKA n.ACEI) 'IKHSELE IN TIIE I'ATII BEFORE THEM, rejoicing in their plen'y ami fancied peace, yells tliat cur lied th 1 blood echoed from the prairie on one si ie, j and the forest on the other, 'loo well wore those cries known in the vil lage of tho Illini.

Among thorn all, there was but one —a girl— ] who refused to mourn with her people. Watseka was her name. Although young, Watseka was well known for her proud spirit and her beautiful face. As was lit in her sex, this young odrl had stood with the crowd of weeping women and children a little apart from the gloomy war riors. She read their hearts, saw their tears and heard their means. The cowardice of the men made her eyes dry, kept her lips closed and roused all I the fierceness of her wild nature. | Who would take rovnge on these grim painted, scalp-loving warriors—upon I those who had swept upon her people, j to lcill them as they would deer, and to drive them from the land the Great Spirit had given them? She frowned as she saw that the warriors, with brave curses still upon I their lips, were creeping farther and farther buck into the shadows. Then Watseka burst into heroism. , Forgetting that among warriors no talking squaw had right to a place, she sprang forward and put herself in the path before them. With flashing eyes and curling lips she spoke: "Men of the Illini, right are the Iro quois when they boast that they have put the dress of squaws upon you and hoes into your hands. Turn back to your village. You cannot miss the path—your burning wigwams have made it clear. Your women and chil- I dren are here—to-day. Do you know j where they will be when the sun | shines to-morrow? Have no fear, the I Iroquois will know how to make your wives cook their corn and your daugh ters fetch them water. To-night they | count the scalps and feed at your fires i on the deer they have killed on your ' hunting grounds. What! You will | not go, then? Good! Watseka will show you how to be men. Come with me, women of the Illini! We have not gathered our corn to feed the Iro quois." All the women turned to Watseka. j Grandmas saw in her bright eyes that j spirit which, when young, they them selves might have had, and loved her for it. Each mother looked upon her through tearful eyes, wishing that the Great Spirit had spoken to her daugh ter instead. The hearts of the young girls beat proudly because one of I themselves had been called to rouse tlieir tribe against the thieving Iro quois. No second call was needed Old and young crowded eagerly around her, each woman arming herself with the first hatchet or stick that fell her way. And even the boys—who, with black looks and bout heads, had been follow ing their fathers—left the braves, and ranged themselves with flashing eyes beside their mothers and their sisters.

Slowly from darkness they came into j the light like owls: but upon the sleep- I ing Iroquois they fell like wolves! So they won back to their wigwams. It is good to know that the chief of I her tribe did not forget to honor Wat- , selca. Iler exploit, was long told among their traditions, and in the. summer brightened many a weary hour in the i wigwams when the braves were on the j warpath. After Watseka had passed away, so long as the Illini were a peo ple, her name was handed down in every generation to the most beautiful and the bravest girl of the tribe. Nor has the race, which arose when her own people were fall MI forever, wished her story to 1 forgotten. The river by wnlch the Iroquoi were routed is still known by their name: and a fair town risin r in the land so loved by i her proudly heirs the name of the. her- ia girl who in the day of despair rec p em < 1 h< r tribe and turne l their shame into honor.—St. Nicholas.
