Clinton New Era, 1893-03-03, Page 3The Beaver Trap
Phineas Parker was awake before the
ldrSt stook of dawn, one cold winter
Morning of 1710. Phineas was a bright-
eyed lad of twelve, stout of heart and
strong gflimb, and no little help to his
father in those days when living, in
Conneetieut Colony, at least, meant
plenty of hard work for everybody.
The Parker home was, like most
others of the time, a log -house, well
built and well filled with children, It
'was pleasantly located near the Hop
river, and commanded a beautiful view
up and down the valley, Behind it
tine forest stretched for many miles,
broken by an occasional clearing in
the center of which was a settler's cabin
and, more frequently, a circle of In-
dian wigwams.
When Phineas opened leis eyes on
this particular morning, he lay very
still and listened. He could hear the
gentle, regular breathing of his young-
er brothers, Harlan and Piave), who
lay sleeping in the same bed with him.
Soon his keenly attentive ears caught
another and more welcome sound—a
movement in the room below. His
father •was upl Instantly he sprang
out upon the icy floor; quickly he pull-
ed on his thick, woolen stockings, his
rough trowsers and jacket; then taking
his shoes in his hand and stooping to
avoid hitting the rafters, he crept
noiselessly down the ladder which led
up to his loft.
Asa Parker, a stalwart, resolute but
pleasan t -natured roan, stood raking
open the ashes in the fire -place. He
was dressed in leather breeches and
__jacket, with long leggings of the same
tough material. About his waist was
a hunting -belt, in which were thrust a
couple of knives. He piled dry chips
on the embers, and the flames burst
forth just as Phineas came down from
the loft. His father heard his foot-
step and turned around. In thedeu-
ing fire -light the strong resemi ce
between the two faces was clearly vis-
ible. Both had the same ruddy com-
plexion, bright blue eyes and well -cut
features. But now the expression on
the boy's countenance was pleading,
while that of the father was a mixture
of approval and hesitation. They look-
ed at each other a moment in silence.
Then Mr Parker smiled slightly, and a
look of great delight immediately over-
spread the boy's face.
"You promised, father," Phineas
said, putting down his shoes and com-
ing toward the fire -place.
"I didn't count on your having such
sharp ears," the man said, laughing
softly.. "'Twill be a long walk and a
cold one for your young legs; but you
will get no harm from that. And it is
high time that you were learning to be
a hunter. If aught should happen to
me, Phineas, you are the main depen-
dence of your mother."
He laid his hand on Phineas' should-
er as he said this, and looked thought-
fully down at him. The boy's heart
swelled; he drew himself up and felt
that years had been added to his age
by this proof of`his father's confidence.
They exchanged no more words. In
haste they warmed and ate the food
which the mother had left ready.
They drew their fur caps well down
over their ears and buttoned their
jackets closely. Last of all, they put
on their heavy shoes. Then Mr Park-
er slung his powder horn over his
shoulder, took down his gun and start-
ed toward the door. Phineas, with a
stout oak stick firmly grasped, follow-
ed.
The moonbeamsstill lay upon the
snow as they walked along the narrow
path which led into the forest. But
daybreak was near at hand; before
they had gone more than a mile or two,
the sky was rosy -red. Phineas thought
that he had never seen anything so
beautiful as the scene which spread
around him. Now and then a rabbit
or a squirrel scampered across their
way, turning its bright eyes inquisi-
tively at the intruders and darting
away beyond the reach of harm. But
neither of the two -legged folk, who
went steadily forward through the
woods, was minded to disturb these in-
nocent denizens of the wilderness.
Phineas was, for once, too happy and
too proud to even think of a "brush."
His mind and heart were now on high-
er game.
As for his father, he strode on with
darkening brow and troubled thoughts.
For some time back, he had suspected
meddling at his beaver traps. These
were several miles from home, and
their game formed no small portion of
the Parker revenues. Asa had been
especially successful during this sea-
son, and took great pride in his store
of well -cured pelts. But of late he had
found his traps empty, with many evi-
dences that his beavers had been stol-
en. Surprised, indignant, and at last
exasperated, he resolved to keep a
sharp lookout and, if possible, to dis-
cover and punish the thief.
As they approached the place, he
half regretted that he had allowed
Phineas to come with him. He was
but a little fellow, after all, and he
would fain have him spared the dark
side of life a while longer. And yet—
the thought again recurred to him—if
a bullet from the gun of this wary rob-
ber should lay him low, Phineas would
then= --But what was that? He looked
closer; he saw a faintly outlined foot-
print on the snow, two of them, indeed,
one following straight behind the
other. For an instant his heart stood
still. Only an Indian walked like that.
They were not far from his largest
trap, and he knew as surely then as he
did an hour later that these scarcely
visible tracks kept on to that place,
branching neither to the right nor the
left.
He turned to Phineas. He spoke to
to him in a whisper.
"Phineas," he said, laying his band
again on the shoulder fast growing to
a level with his own, "I must go on
alone now. Climb into this tree and
wait for me. If I am not back within
one hour, follow the path and find me.
And whatever happens, he a good boy
to your mother."
He looked earnestly into the eager
young face; he took his large silver
'watch and slipped it into the boy's
jacket pocket.
Phineas was startled and awed by
his father's strange manner. But he
had been trained to unquestioning
obedience. -
"Yes, father," he said, looking up
bravely at him.
Then he climbed into the slippery
branches of an oak, while the man
went cautiously on, 1n a few minutes
he turned from the trail and made a
wide detour, coming to a large rock.
Stealthily he crept to this, slewly he
,drew himself up and peered down at
,e
his trap. A tall Indian was in the
very act of taking out a fat beaver.
Asa Parker's blood ran hot through
his veins; to ills f#nger-tips he burned
with anger at this piece of treachery
which be would not ,have believed had
he not seen it with his own eyes.
For many years the most friendly
feeling bad existed between the In-
dians and the white people in the Hop
River valley. Presents of corn and
grain, skins and fruit were frequently
ercohanged; and it was= strange thing
for sinewy young braves to speud a
day or two at the log -cabins ,iot the
"palefaces." The cordial good -will
and honorable dealing which had
gown up between former generations
in this neighborhood had never been
violated until now, so far as anyone
knew.
The white man watched the dextor-
ous movements of the wily robber. He
was thinking vigorously at the same
time. What if he would let him de-
part with his booty? He knew only
too well that such a course meant fur-
ther thefts, more daring advance, and,
in all probability, unreasonable de-
mands upon the isolated, unprotected
family, not stopping short of cruel
murder of them all, if once blood be-
gan to flow. i
What if he killed him? A dozen
other red skins might be hiding within
sound of his gun, ready to spring to
the help of their comrade! That, too,
meant the speedy destruction of him-
self and all who were dear to hien.
He weighed the question carefully.
He made uphis mind. A moment
later the bullt whistled through the
frosty air. With a yell of agony the
Indian leaped from the ground, then
fell heavily upon the snow and lay mo-
tionless. When the smglte had clear-
ed away, Asa looked around with
searching glance; his ears were keen to
detect the slightest sound; his hastily
reloaded gun was drawn up to his
shoulder; not moving a muscle, he
waited. But he saw nothing; he heard
nothing. Minute after minute passed.
Then, still silently, trying to look in
every direction at once, he ventured to
slide down the rock; he made his way
toward the prostrate Pequot. Bend-
ing above him he saw that his aim had
been sure. The bullet had gone straight
through his heart. He would steal no
more beavers from a white man's trap.
And now arose another question of
no small importance. What should be
done with the body? Again Asa Par-
ker considered. Again he made up his
mind. His face was set and stern.
The work of the next few hours would
be no child's play. It was attended
with no little danger, but he did not
hesitate.
First of all, he set the trap. Then he
turned to the dead Indian. As he did
so, he heard quick steps approching.
He,seized his gun and pointed it to-
ward the dark object he could dimly
see among the trees. But the next in-
stant he lowered it. Phineas was run-
ing along the trail. His face was
white, but his eyes were blazing and
be brandished his club.
"0, father," he cried, "I heard the
gun, and I couldn't wait there."
"Hush, boy," said Asa sternly, point-
ing to the lifeless figure at his feet.
Phineas looked down, and his eyes
grew round in astonishment. He had -
seen but few Indians, for he was seldom
allowed to go far from home, and they
were always objects of great curiosity;
never of dread.But now he felt a
strange thrill all through him as he
gazed wonderingly at the large, brown
features, gay with paint; the long,
coarse plaits of hair; the feathers, the
leggings, the moccasins, the blankets
of this one, lying there so quietly. He
watched every movement of his father
breathlessly, as he wrapped him se-
curely and compactly from sight in his
blanket; This done, Asa hid the beav-
er behind the rock, covering it with
snow. He gave his powder -horn and
gun to Phineas, saying briefly.
"Watch, and make no noise."
Then he lifted his uncanny burden
upon his shoulder and started toward
home, At each step he feared, indeed
expected, to be surrounded by Indians
in anything but a friendly frame of
mind. Every moment of that silent
march through the forest, with his
father and his father's awful compan-
ion, his nerves at the highest tension
of excitement, alert, vigilant, yet feel-
ing brave enough with the gun, to
meet the whole tribe of revengeful
Pequots, was remembered to his dying
day by Phineas Parker. On and on
they went, as swiftly as possible and
as noiselessly. At last, what seemed
to the boy a thousand years, they came
within sight of their little cabin. Then
for the first time, Asa spoke to his little
son:
"Put down the gun, Phineas," he
said very softly. "Go tell your mother
to take all the children up the loft with
her and keep them there until I come.
Sayno more. Then come back to me."
Phineas flew to de the errand.
Esther Parker was a brave woman.
Her cheek grew pale; -but she, too, had
learned to obey unhesitatingly. She
Thgathered her six little ones and sent
em up the ladder before her. She
sang to them; she told them wonder-
ful tales; she kept them, amused and
contented; but all the while her
thoughts and her heart were outside
with Asa and their boy. What were
they doing? What did those strange,
dull, continuous sounds, apparently
beneath the house, mean? Would
they never cease? Could they come
from the small cellar which had been
dug. at her special request, before their
cabin was begun? How little had she
dreamed then that this very cellar was
to furnish a grave for one of the brav-
est young chiefs of Hop River Valley.
But so it was. After long, hard la-
bor on the part of the far-seeing, de-
termined settler, the burial place was
safely hidden from sight or sound,of
any of the tribe. It remained forever
unknown to them; and the beaver -
trap of Asa Parker was never again
molested.
For days and weeks and even months
the father and mother and oldest son
of this little family kept a strict watch
for any sign of revenge on the part of
possible spectators of the tragedy.
But time passed on, and at length they
became convinced that if, indeed, ob-
served at all, it had taught a whole-
some fear of the "speaking gun."
One hundred years later, the chil-
dren of Phineas' children built a hand-
some residence upon the very site of
the tog -house. Before the foundations
were laid,•tho cellar was deepened and
enlarged. In the course of this work,
the spades of the men rattled against
some strange objects. One by one they
were taken out and laid side by side
upon the s xass. Bones, and human
bones! A shudder crept over the blue-

Nothing is made in vain. Not even bad
eggs are laid in vain. Years ago those
that had survived their culinary usefulness
were of no value to dealers, who used to
pay garbage collectors to take them away.
Nowadays bad eggs are almost a regular
article of commerce. The yolks can be so
treated as to make a most valuable dressing
for kid and other fine leather. Instead of
paying to have bad eggs taken away the
dealers sell them to the makers of this
dressing at a fair price. Large quantities
of the egg -yolks dressing are exported to
Europe.
