THE HtTRON EXPOSIT(
GRANDMOTHER'S DREAM:
We
shellhave a visit from the In-
diens before night," remarked my
gratndmother, looking across the -break-
"
at grandfather.
" Well, I hope we shall," replied.
grandfather, a Little doggedly, '! Yon
are eternally predicting an..Indian raid,
and just to please you I hope we shall
et a.call from at least a hundred."
"Look oat, Peter Barnes ! You 'may --
have cause tceregret that speech before'
you are half a day older. I dreamed
last night just how theycame,what they
did, what we did, and it makes my
blood rankcold to think of it."
Grandfather made no reply, realizing
that she always had the better of him
in argument, and the Meal "was finished
in silence. -
4 year before, my relatives,: both of
whore were nearly fifty years old,- but
strong and hearty, sold out their farm in
Ohio and -located in western. Kansas.
Their childrenwere all married:off, and
the old couple were entirely alone. They
had a good farm, and had already made
- many. improvements. -
The location was not thought to be a
dangerous one,,although a few miles be-
low. the lest- hamlet in that section and
three mites in advance of the location of
the previous settler. The Indians had.
raided this part -of the country the -year
.before, but the soldiers had given them.
a severe rebuke, and it was net believed
that they would venture back again.
--Grandfather was certain thathe' would
not be interrupted in his peaceful pure
suits, and was annoyed that grand-
mother should croak of evil.
More because it was the, custom than
from any idea_ that he would ever have
use for it, grandfather kept a rifle in the
house, Sand one day when a settler who
was owing him money and could not
pay, brought a revolver to him as the
only offset :die could offer, grandfather
took it and laid: it on the shelf.
In her young°days° grandmother had
been an .emphatic "romp." She could
- ,skate, play ball, pitch quoits, ride 'at a
gallop, shoot a rifle, and even to the day
she was merried, went by the. name of
" Bailey's Tomboy," yet, after all, she
made a good wife, and was the "mak-
ing of Peter Barnes.
She stead in the door • that '" morning
and watched; Peter bring his horses and
plow and drive off.through the fields to -
his work half a mile away. Then she
looked to the west, back at -the sun, and
went in and took the 'rifle down. from.
its hooks,' It had been loaded for
montfis, and: she drew the bullet, care-
fully wiped the barrel, and loaded the
weapon again as nicely as a hunter could
have.done it. Placing it in a corner,
she went. to an old. "chest, -shed out:
powder,lead, caps and bullet molds,and
noon had fifteen or twenty shining' bu'--
lets on the tle. Then the. revolver
was got down, cleaned. up, Idaded, and
finally the woman went to the door to'
look for her husband.
• She could see him following the plow
in the distant field, and the happy songs.
of the birds were -anything but har
Nugent of a coming affray, in which.
amore than one of : those shining bullets
would find a human target.
-"Peter Barnes, you are en idiot !"
spoke the woman, watching him a mo-
ment. " 1_ don't want harm to come to
a Bair of yonr head, but you will get a 1 lin
fearful lesson beffre noon this' day !"
The arms being ingood order, the
woman shut the door, nailed it up, and
then nailed -boards over theeeindows on
the inside,; The south door fastened
with a bar, and she was satisfied with.
- its strength. She went to•the spring,
filled two -pails with water, puked up
and carried in the axe, and then cleared
the table of dishes, not :stopping to
washbthem. Then she sat down in the•
south doorway end waited --waited for
the Indian atta k- which she had dream_
ed of and predicted .
An hour passed and she had not
changed her position. Half an hour
wore away, and then she suddenly leap-
ed up -and and seized her rifle. She had
sees! the horses stop and begin to rear
'and plunge as,they came near the south
end of the field, which Was bordered by
the forest. She saw her husband pull..
ing them and using the whip, but In a
moment more the horses dashed off at
full speed. Just as they started, grand-
mother heard a faint "Yi, yi !""and the
next moment caught sight.of a:score of
savages as they dashed out -of the woods
and made for her -husband.
ac Just exactly as I dreamed," she
whispered to herself, lifting the rifle
clear of the door.
Grandfather caught sight of the ' red
skins as=soon as .they -broke cover,'and
he wheeled -and made for the house at
. his best pace. For a few rods he held
his own, but then his fifty years began
to tell on him, and the shouting• In-
dians began to gain. They were thirty
yards behind him at the start, but be-
-fore half the distance to the house had
been traversed they were not ten yards
behind.
"Run, father ! run for your life !"
shouted grandmother waving her hand
to him ; and he did his best. . -
But the old man did not have it in ..
him. He wait within rifle -shot of the
door5e-hen the redskins bore him down
to the: grass, in plain sight of his wife.
Five or six of them halted to take care
of the prisoner, and. the : rest, whooping
and yelling, made for- the houie.-
Grandmother stood squarein the door
and the rifle was slowly lifted.
When the foremost savage was twenty
rods away, out on a line with the bar-
rel, there was a quick report and the
Indian fell forward -en the grass. Then
she stepped back, cion " thedoor, and
the next moment the shouting demons
jumped against=it. The door stood like
tick. Baffled and disappointed, the In.-
°dians knocked at the door with their
tomahawks, aslif to 'hew their way in.
Striking away, one of the; blown fell on
s knot in the plank, and the knot. fell at
tbe, woman's feet, while ahole as large
sit .a man's fist was Ieft in the door.
Encouraged by this, the Indians were
chop ing away, when grandmother
seize the revolver, took swift aim, and
a horrible yell mingled with the report.
The Indiansthen fail back to Where
they had left their . prisoner, and were
-out of -range. - -
The Indians understood sufficient of the
speech to know that the woman did not
propose to surrender, and they gathered
around the' prisoner}• and held a con-
eultation... At' length, leaving two of
'their numbertoc:guard him, the others,
fifteen in all, made a detour and collect -
`ad on the north side of thelouse. They
'Woo arrows to fire the house fronea;
disbanoe, but gathered brush and piled
it against the door- to force ' the woman.
to coma out.
She had no loopholes on that side,
but going up stairs she softly removed a
strip of chinking" from between two,
ofthe fogs, thrust through the hand
holding the • revolver, and shooting by
guess, badly ` wounded one of the save
gess
With a. great whooping and yelling the
rascals drew out of range and held an-
other aonsaltation. In a few . Minutes
• they all reappeared on the seedy tide;
gathered around -grandfather and di-
rectly struck a - course for the wvoode
from which they first issued, ',grand-
father beiog.Ied along behind. The wo-
man watched them with_ the greatest
anxiety, believing that they had' aban
doned - the siege and that she would -
never see her husband again.
She ewatohed and waited for about
half an hour and was just thinking of,
opening the door when a faint whooping-
reaehed her from the woods. A. mo
meat afterwards grandfather came fly-
ing across the fields, waving his hand to
her as soon as leaving the woods. Two
or three minutes later the Indians buret
outof the -woods in full cry, but were
forty rods behindthe fugitive.
Grandmother realized that an escape
iniad been made, and she laid down` the
revolver and stood ready to open the.
door. As. 'the,. fugitive got within
twenty rods, being - then_ thirty: rods
ahead of pursuit,•she began to unbar
the door. She ° had only touched - it, e
when some one -leaped 'against it, not
one, but -four or five. . Finding it fast,
the savages, for,such they were, set u
a howl of rage and. retreated out of
range: Grandfather was standing still
about fifteen rods from the ,door, _
the woman did not have - to look twice
to see -into the: game, One of the In;
-dians,d donned the prisoner's cloth
ing, jammed the familiar hat over his
forehead, and the pursuit was all a
\sham. Before he had left the woods;
four or five Indians' had made a detour
and softly approached the house, so as.
to- be ready to leap in when the bar
came ° down from- the door. It was.not .
grandmother's wit, but their own haste
in leaping out, -.which had ' pees anted:
:the capture of- the house and her death.
The savages thou tried' another plan.
They:brought the old man out of the •
woods naked, except his shirt, tied him
to<a wild plum . tree just out of rifle again
range of the house, and then set about
maltreating him, hoping to work on the
woman's: sympathies. Grandinother:�
could see: everymovement made,and she
svas•nearly crazed to see them _assaul"t
the.old Than with knives and dulls. They
bricked him until -he was covered.: with
loddd, although not seriously, wounded
in any: spot, and • cutting a number of e
switches .from the hazel' bushes!` they a
;whipped him until they were tired of r,
the sport. The did Man groaned a lit- o,
tle, but they -could not make him .cry °p
out, us -they had hoped to do ; and in t;
his heart he hoped that grandmother .., p
would not be imprudeht enough• to at- s,
tempt interference. _ -Her heart, . big u
with sympathy and .distress, and her i,
eyes,' full of tears, the woman allowed c
the savages to= got ahead of her. c
Several of them moved . back out of :8
range of the knot hole, `skulked around - 1,
'to the , north side `of the cabin, and w
grandmothers first intimation- of their w
presence was when.she heard the crack- w
g of flames in the, brush which they u
had previously piled against the ' dome h.
As.soon as the flames were lighted the m
savages -drew off a . few rods andac�om• s,
menced shooting at the 'get . over 'the o
door. where she had pulled out the 't
chinking to shoot, at them before, Not -
'withstanding' tbe whistling of the,balis
which every moment came through into -
the garret, the woman mounted the
ladder with a pail of water,. dashed the
-contents out 'through the kcrevice, and
mere ' accident guided the dash so that
the flames- were drowned out. •
Grandfather had his arms tied behind
him, and after a few minutes walked
out a few feet in advance of his captors.
He- looked ':at =:thee house, then looked
back, and refused' to obey the command
given him- The " Indiana advanee�d,`
drew --their tomahawks, .and;then the
oaptive'ahouted ., =
.",Nanoy. ! _Nancy ! unbar the door`
leave the rifle in -the house and coni* ou
here. They won't hurt you !"
-The wife heard every word of it, and
the trembling tones of. the -.old man's
_ voice -made -the heart ache. But she knew
the Indians had forced hind to make the
=appeal, and that it was onlya ruse for
.them to get - another` prisoner. -'• She
made no ereply, and directly the " red -
.skins forced the old man to speak again.
"Nancy !" he - called_, "the Indians
say if you - don't come out they -will:
murder me right here."
It: was . the hardest struggle_ of her
long life, -but grandmother realized that
both would certainly be murdered if
the complied, and if she held out there
was hope_ that help. might come from im-
migrants or hunters before night: Team
came to her. eyes, - and she could _
not ' choke down her soba . as .she
