threatening words of the half-breed he

—that he might expect no mere), from
him.

freedom but in one way, and that is
that you tell us bow the dwellings of

happened to can the villagers to baud
together, what place would they choose,
and how are they fortified?"
In an instant the horrible truth broke
µpen &ie. They were planning a raid.
upon Hadley village, and, a, fearful mas-
sacre would follow. He thought of his
ad mother watching and waiting for
hie return to her, all heedless of her
anger, and of Nome, the girl whom he
loved better than life itself, and again
his reason tottered at the bare agoniz-
ing thought of her being at thin mercy
et these savages, and uneonsciously he
breathed the very words that had fallen
from lier gra.ndfathetes lips when he
discovered her flight:
"Better death for Norine—ay, death
from the wild beasts that roara the
mountainside for her than that she
should fall into the hands of the sav-
ages."
"I will give yoa until nightfall to
think it over," added the half-breed, "I
shall then be here for your answer. If
you eomply, well and good; if you re-
fuse—well, you know whet you may ex-
pect at the bands of the Pawnees. I have
no more to add them that seeming."
With thee words he vanished quite
as deftly as he had appeared, and poor
Toe wasleft alone with his own agon-
tang thoughts, which were a thoustud
nines more excruciating than the pain
tvhieh racked his body so cruelly. He had
lived all his life on the plains of Wash-
ington and he knew the habits of the
dreaded Pawnee, the most ferocious of
all the Indian tribes, but too well. He
realized that they would keep their
word, wring from his lips the intelli-
gence they desired, or torture him, et the
stake, dancing with fiendish glee around
him, enjoying his horrible suffering un-
til death shut them out from his gaze
and ended it all for him.
It mattered little enough to him
what ,became of his body after the time
was freed fronx its earthly tenement.
Then mane the thought to him, he
must not die! No, Heaven had work
for him to do; he must escape from
these savages and flee to Hadley, mainl-
and suffering though he was; and ap-.
prise the villagers of their danger—ay,
and fight tail the last drop of blood
in his heart left it, in protecting hie old
mother and his dearly beloved Norine.
He realized dimly the fact the vil-
lagers would accuse him as being the
cause of the massacre, upon his failure
to appear at the Great Bear Mine with
the wage money of the half-breeds'from
the fact that they only needed. but a
slight cause as an excuse for an out-
break, and this thought was as cruel as
death to him, rankling worse than the
thrust of a knife in his tortured breast.
But one thought seemed clear to him
—he niust get beak to Hadley or die in
the attempt. In attempting to rise, I:e
realized how badly he was hurt. His
severe illness had left him terribly
weak, and the blows he had received in
endeavoring to guard the large suin of
money he carried had well-nigh finished
him.
Crawling to the door of the tent, he
saw that he was in the very midst of
the savage domain.
Bitter cold as the day was on this
mountain height, the Pawnees seemed
impervious to the weather, as the
braves, sguaws, and even the papooses
move to and fro leisurely, the early
morning sun shining weirdly upon their
half-clad and gayly painted, supple
limbs, and the waving eagle feathers
that decorated their beads.
To these hardy barbarians the hor-
rors of winter seemed quite unknown,
unfeared. •
Just where he was, .Toe could not
quite comprehend,though he realized
that it must be upon some level spot
on the mountan.
How far was he from. Hadley—great
Heaven, how far? he asked himself in
agony. If he had but been in his usual
state of health be would have taken les
fate in his hands :by making a bold dash
for liberty. As it was, he realized that
his strength would not hola out the
firet mile, and be would fall in his
tracks, and the red demon, wild with
rage at Ms attempt to escape, would
be upon him, and in less time than it
would take to tell it, his life would apy
the penalty of his daring. No, he must
make his escape by stratagem, if it
were to be accomplished at all.
He knew that he was the subject, of
much excited- discussion among the
battens, who were gathered in little knets
here and there, from their glatices, :fur-
tively cast in his direction, aiid *their
fierce gesticulations. Another thing
caught and held his attention spell-
bound. In the centre of the clearing he
observed one of the Indians driving a
heavy hickory stake into the ground,
while the iiquaws and children were ea-
tivele engaged in fetching armfuls of
dry fagots, which they proceeded to Plate
around it, chattering the meitirethile in

But when, one of the old equates pointed
to bis tent, his blood ran cold with hor-
ror, for in that eminent the meaning of

Joe Brainard was brave, but even the
etoutest heart would have quailed in
such a moment.
"Whatever witty be my fate, I ran

The sun crept higher and higher in the

pea lower end lower, denoting the ap-
proaclt of the onconung night, and the

During al the long hours of the day
no one had been near bim with food or

IIe knew but too well the Indian ramie
of Nvarfare—whont they intend to give to
the fire -god they serve with neither
meet nor drink.
Fie staggered back to his pallet of
skins, threw himself upon them and give
himself up to devising plane for his es-
cape.
He knew that it should not be at-
tempted until the shadows 'began to
darken; the mantle of (lankness would
shield him, then he could. trust to God,
who rules and reigns over all to befriend
him in his peril.
As the long hours dragged their slow
lengtlus on he formulated his plans care-
fully and fully.
Once the half-breed who had spoken
with him before paused for a moment in
passing and peered into his tent.
Joe lay so still upon his pallet of skins
that the man was certain that he must
be sleeping. He moved away muttering
to hiinself, It With Well for Joe's peace
of mind that he did not hear the words
on his lips.
The half-breeds had made no attempt
to manacle their victim, for, knowing
him so well, they had little difficulty in
perceiving how very weak and 111 he
was, and looked upon bis attempt to
escapt as certainly beyond the possibil-
ities; for they had observed that he
could, not stand on his feet, and con-
cluded that the ugly gash over his tem-
ple woulds soon finish him, evert if they
did not.
Every moment of that awful and nev-
er -to -be -forgotten day seemed an hour's
duration' and each hour a year in length,
so muchtorturous anguish was crowd-
ed into them. By that time to -morrow,
he told himself, he would have saved
Hadley, his clear old mother and Norine,
or his lifeless body evould tell the mute
but pathetic story of his heroic attexapt.
Lower and lower dipped the winter sun
in the western sky.
Already the shadows began to gather,
in the tent of deerskin. Joe lay with
upturned face, his eyes closed, his lips
drawn in a tense, straight line, which
was the only sign of the excitement
laboring within bis breast.
With bated breath he watched and
waited for the shadows to deepen, and
at last he told himself that the auspi-
cious moment had arrived. Would it
mean life or. death for him? Ah, who
could tell?

some way which might lead him out oi
his perilous surroundings, a way sudden.
ly opened itself. One of the Indian pole
ies, which were permitted to roam about
the encampment at will, drew near 'his
tent --ay, within a couple of yards of
the spot where he was crouching. In
an instant the valiant young express
messenger had decided upon his "course.
With throbbing heart and quivering
pulse he gathered himself together for
Ids leap for life.
If he succeeded in mounting the pony
he would at leaat have a esthete of gain-
ing his liberty. If he missed his mark
--ah, God, lie dared not miss it—there
was too much at stake.
In that fatal moment he thought of
Sorine, the fair, beauteous maiden whom
he loved so -dearly, and with her name
on his lips, mingled with a broken cry to
heaven to aid him, he made the terrific
plunge.
Heaven had heard his wild prayer. He
landed directly astride the animal's sup-
ple back.
The action was so daring, so nuex-
pected, that for an instant the Indians
were taken completely by surprise, fairly
paralyzed with amazement;
For one moment the forms of

A Suggestion.
When Miss Lucy E. Anthony was
visiting her little nieces !stet summer
she was besought to make a kite. As
she had made some in her youth
which had been fairly succeesful, she
promised to make one, but, not wish-
ing to have the eliiIrden disappointed,
elle expressed doubts as to whether
it would fly very well. While they
wore working on the kite, a small
boy came by selling fly paper. Mimi
Anthony said that they :did not wish
gay. One little niece said:
Allut Lucy, if you think the kite may
not fly, why don't you buy some fly
paper, and then it surely will?"

HOW NOT TO WRITE.
There are several ways of writing to a

A Church in a Rock.
In the quaint old German town of Ob-

the great rock rising from the river.
The front of the building ie of stone,
but the church itself is Wallowed out of

His brother also sought the fair maid-
en's hand and the two suitors had a via-

eount flung his hapless brother from the
top of his castle wall, high up the preee
pitoue cliff. Repenting of his Awful deed,
the count vowed that he would build it

Not long ago Yunk Lin, a Chinese

of the most remarltable pieces of muck-

HEAVEN NEAR,
(By Anna D. Walker.)
Heaven is -near us when we do
The thing that's good and right --
With holiest heart and purpose true,
It brings it near us quite. ,
Heaven is near us when we pray.
When we lift up our eye
It makes it but a little way
To that blest home on high,
Heaven is near us when we stand
Beside a dying friend—
We almost see the golden strand
T'wards which their fest do tend.
Heaven is near us when our heart
Goes out toward the poor—
When tears of sweet compassion start
It opens Heaven's door.
If you would shorter make the road
And bring kind Heaven near—
Live close, dear friend, oh, close . to
God,
And you will taste it here.
