Outwitting the Indians.
AT BI8MARK (Dakota) tlie raoun.
lain men ofleu tell the otory of
Markheail'B exploit with the Blackfcet
Indians, , '
MarkheaJ, tome years bro, was
treacherously murdered by the Mexicans
hear Taos. At the time of iiU death lie
,wa not more than twenty-seven years
old, and he could not have been more
than twenty-two when he had the ad
Venture which we are going to relate. .
The old ' polneers of the upper Mia
sourl speak of Markhead as a most re
markable boy, so muscular and of such
powers of endurance, that he would run
fifteen or twenty miles without apparent
fatigue. Indians he held In trifling
regard, and delighted In a skirmish with
them ; though he bore the scars of not
less than a dozen of their bullets aud
arrows. But, here is our story :
. Young Markhead went on a trapping
excursion for beaver, up one of the head
creeks of the Yellowstone, a locality not
much resorted to by other trappers, on
account of the deadly hostility of the
Blackfcet, who were very jealous of the
white hunters, and killed every hunter
they could surprise. .
As was his custom, he had his hoise
with him, for carrying traps and pro
visions, and at this time had made his
camp in a clump of cotton woods, on the
banks of the creek, near the foot of a
range of bluffs which fronted the stream
on the east Bide.
That morning It was in the month
of October he had set off early to look
to his beaver traps, of which he had a
line both up and down the creek. He
had proceeded but a Bhort distance, when
he found one of hia steel traps missing
from under the bank where he had Bet
were bear tracks iu the mud
about the bank ; very large ones, leading
back into the cedar bushes, toward the
bluff.
The trail was fresh, and Markhead
followed it cautiously through the
cedar.
' Coming at length to the foot of the
bluff, he found that the animal had
turned aside, and gone further up the
bottom. Hut just at that moment he
thought he heard it thrashing about in
the cedar a little way ahead.
So he carefully mounted the side of
the bluff, twenty or thirty feet, hoping
to catch sight of the animal over the
tops of the bushes. From this point he
saw a large grizzly, sitting on a broad
flat rock, not more than forty or fifty
yards distant.
Watching the creature a moment, he
found that it limped painfully, and that
it walked a short distance on three legs.
Finally It turned about and limped back
to the stone again ; and Markhead now
perceived ) that the grizzly .had his
beaver trap hard and fast on one' of his
forepaws.
The bear was much annoyed by the
trap. It sat down on the stone again,
and from where he lay Markhead could
see him examining it attentively, hold
ing it close up to his nose and gravely
turning hia paw over and over. Then
it would tip its head to one side and look
from out the corners of its eyes in a
most comical manner, as if at an entire
loss to make out what the novel and
painful appendage could be that had got
such fast hold of his toes, .
Anon, the puzzled animal would try
to step on its foot but instantly took it
up from the stone: again, with a low
whimper, and would then commence
licking the1 trap, as if wishing td .ap
pease its anger and coax It into letting
goitsgrip. ' a
- This pantomlne so interested the trap
per that he could scarcely take aim with
his rifle. But not wishing to lose his
good steel trap, he was on the point of
shooting the bear, when he was startled
from it by the neigh of a horse.
Glancing out over the tops of the
bushes, he saw, some four or five hun
dred yards down the opposite bank of
the creek, a party of six Indians, sitting
on their ponies. They had reined up,
and stood among some little sand-hillocks,
looking across, directly toward
where his camp was,ln the oottonwoods.
It then flashed to his mind that it was
his horse' which had neighed. -' That
was why the Indians bad pulled up so
suddenly and were staring across the
creek. ,
Markhead saw, that even could he
himself escape them, the Indians would
inevitably discover hia camp and capture
his horse and provisions, together with
all the peltries he had trapped. That
was bad. But what was worse, there
was a heavy dew that tuorulng, and his
own trail through the grass along the
bank of the creek must, he knew, be as
plain as a .pike-staff.
lie knew that the Indians would not
fell to discover his trail, and that they
would follow him like bloodhounds to
his death. It is not strange that our
hunter thought no more of the bear.and
that his merriment was cut short by
this by no nw.Ds , laughable aspect of
affairs.'
But Markhead was a tiulck-wltced M.
low, not easily alarmed, and while he
lay there watching the Blackfeetasthey
stealthily approached the place where
his horse was picketed, he hit on a rune
for outwitting them at their own tac
tics.' FeellDg sure that In a few minutes
they would be on his track, he slid
down fron) his perch on the bluff and
rat back to tl.e creek, to the point
where he hud left it in pursuit of the
bear.
Here he resumed his way up the
creek, taking care to leave a plainly
marked trail through the wet grass, with
here aud there a footprint In the mud
and sand, just as if he was leisurely pro
ceeding along the banks, looking to his
traps. ' " 1 '
But he ran on fast, and never slack
ened his pace till he had covered a dis
tance of at least ten miles from the place
where he had seen the Blackfeet cross
the creek. His surmise was that the
savages on discovering his trail, would
pursue him, but would expect to come
upon him at every trap, and hence
Would follow on stealthily, and at no
great speed. '
Having thus planned out ft ten-mile
chase for them, Markhead ran back
across the narrow meadow, and climb
ing the bluffs, made a detour for his
campagaiu, keeping a mile or over
from the creek, back among the sand
hills and cliff's.
Being a fleet and practiced runner, he
was not more than an hour and a half
making the trip back to the vicinity of
his camp, among the cottonwoods, the
tall tops of w hich he could see at a great
distance. '
After taking breath a few minutes,
and looking to his rifle, Markhead crept
out among the boulders on the crag
overlooking the camping-place ; for he
expected the Indians would leave one
of their number to watch the horse.
That one he was prepared to deal with.
Frofn the crag he soon saw the six
ponies down among the timber. They
were hitched up near his own horse.
Nor was he wrong in his conjecture
about the savages leaving one of their
number with the horses. The. packs
had been taken off the ponies' backs ;
and after looking a few moments, he
espied an Indian Bitting in the shade of
a bush, on a heap of buffalo skins and
peltries. ' ' '
Watching the Indian a little, Mark
head crept down, noiselessly as a fox, to
a large cotton wood, rather nearer the
horses, and then, steadying his piece
against the tree-trunk, was just about
to shoot the unwary sentinel, when the
Indian turned partlu'.'y, and to his great
surprise, he saw that It was not a Black
foot warrior, but a plump and very
comely squaw. 1 1
Markhead often admitted that, for the
instant, he was quite nonplussed. He
did not know what to do, for he would
not shoot the squaw, i At length, he
gave a shout, and rushed toward her.
The squaw bounded from her seat, and
seeing the trapper close Upon her, " yell
ed like a pig," as Markhead Bald, ,and
started to run away. But she bad not
got many yards before Markhead seized
her by her long hair ; at whloh the poor
woman, thinking no doubt, that her
last hour had come, crouched on the
ground, and begged plteousIy,In choicest
Elackfoot.'for the white to spare her
life.'.',... t i,.,.. 1 . Sili iu.';i'r .; ' .
Markhead led her back to the ponies,
and drawing his knife; Intimated to her
by most emphatic dumb show that her
top-knot would assuredly come off If
she made the least attempt to escape,
i With that the squaw protested, with
every gesture she uould deviBe, that she
would never try to get away ; bhe would
be like a little dog, and run at hia heels ;
she would be like the pony's tall, always
at his back, and Inseparable from him.
Finding that her life was in no im
mediate danger, the squaw rapidly re
covered from her fright, and in answer
to signs, gave her captor to1 understand
that the five savages had gone on his
trail up the creek, just as he had surmis
ed they would, and had been so confi
dent that they would find him, that
they bad left only the squaw to sit by
the ponies. - 1
Markhead thought over the distance,
and concluding he had a full two.hours
Start of them, resolved to take it easy.
He made the squaw unpack some cold
venison which they had in one of their
sacks and the two strange companions
lunched very convivially together, for
the long run Markhead bad taken had
given him a good appetite. , .
Assisted by the squaw, he next packed
up all the Indians' peltries,' and lashed
them on the backs of the ponies, mak
ing up a sort oftt pony train, at the
head of which he placed the squaw.
Then collecting hia own property, he
mounted his horse and set off; driving
the whole train in front of him master
of the situation leaving, In fact, noth
ing of any value behind. ; 1 , ' ' .,
Once out on the plains, clear of the
crags aud timber, Markhead -drove his
singular cavalcade on t a great paoe,
and traveling all the rest of the day and
all that night with but brief halts reach
ed a trading post Laramie fort, proba-bly-
-toward the end of the next day.
The feelings of the out-wltted Blackfeet
on their return to the place where they
had left their ponies, after their unsuc
cessful chase after Markhead, may per
haps better be left to the fancy of the
reader.
The young trapper realized about six
hundred dollars from the sale of the
captured ponies, peltries, buffalo robes,
and other property. ' , ' ' '
The squaw was sometime afterward
reclaimed at the fort 1 by a Blackfoot
chief, whose wife she had been when
captured. On Markhead being pointed
out to him at the post, he Bald : " He
big warrior. , He play beaver on In
dian." " 1

; The Expulsion from Eden.
Old Judge Qustavtus Swan,' of Colum
bus, Ohio, was a " character" of his
dav. One day a missionary called on
him for a contribution!
" Now," said the Judge, . I'll tell you
what I'll do; : I will ask you a simple
question in Scripture, and if you will
answer it correctly I will give you $25
dollars ; if not, nothing.' The clergy
man brightened up at once and agreed
to the proposition- : . ,
"Well, now," said the Judge, "can
you tell me why God drove Adam and
Eve out of Paradise V"
" Certainly," said ' the clergyman,
" that Is 1 very simple question ; it was
because they ate the forbidden fruit, con
trary to thecommuud of God.',' .
" There," said the Judge, " it Is as I
supposed. I have asked the question of
a hundred different clergymen aud never
yet got the correct answer. I see you
are no wiser than the rest. You ought
to give me twenty-five dollars for being
so Ignorant of one of the most Import
ant facts in connection with the fall of
man. But I will send you away with
roy simple blessing and the true answer
to the question. If you will look into
your Bible, which you seem to have
read so carelessly, you will see it writ
ten ! " Andthe Lord God said, Behold
the man has become as one of us, to
know good and evil) and now lest he
put forth his band and take also of the
tree of life and live forever, therefore
the Lord God Bent him forth from the
garden of Eden to till the ground from
which he was taken.' " Think," added
the Judge, with a sly twinkle In his eye,
" what a great mercy it was to drite
them out, for suppose they had by some
luouce gill uuw ui lue irro ui me, uu g
thus the race had been perpetuated for-
ever on this earth. " Why, by this time
we would have been piled mountains
high upon each other, and what an
awful struggle there would have been
for life and happiness." . The clergy
man departed a wiser if not a happier
man.
Religious Laziness..
There are a few in every parish who
are willing to w6rk and do work. You
hear of them among the poor and sick ;
you find them in the prayer meeting
and see them at all church activities.
They are always willing to do more
than their part. You cart rely on them
every time. But the majority of pro
fessors seem surprised that you should
expect any work from them. They'
come to church to enjoy religion, not to
help others to be saved not to work.
As for visiting the sick, and helping the
poor, gathering in destitute children or
speaking to the unsaved they never try
It "have no gift for it," and so pay
their money, hear the sermon, enjoy the
singing, try to be respectable, and call
that religious living, without making
a single personal endeavor to do good
from one year's end to another. It 1
surprising what easy Christians smart
business men make. A set of merchants
who can run a bank or. mill, and make
trade pay, and know how to' manage
corporations, will let a ' church ' run
down for the want of a little religious
enterprise, and very likely call upon
the women and children to help them
out. .. ;
A community of Christian farmers
who know hpw to improve stock and
make a farm, who on hard soil will get
a good living and keep their own house
neat and trim, will let the house of God
become shabby and the church die out,
because as farmers they work, but a
Christians they do not work. , What
our churches and our communities, most
need is not more talent, or more truth.or
more money, or more opportunities, but
downright and upright earnest work.
It takes but a few people a little money
and small culture to build up a church
when the people have a mind to work.
The curse of the church to-day is a lazy
membership, seeking to be saved with
out work, forgetting that faith Without
works is dead. -
