VOL. XV.
DEFEATED.
Two persons stood beside the dy
ing bed of Gilbert Rothsay;one a
man somewhat past the prime of
life, the other a girl in the first
bloom of opening womanhood.
The eyes of a dying man roved
restlessly from one to the other.
“I am glad to see you, nephew,”
he said feebly.” “Your father
wronged me, and through all these
yearg my hate h as been ad bitter
r that wrong. But at such
time as this all snch feuds should

“Allie, some water, Allie."
The young girl left the room.
For a f ew moments the old man
lay gasping upon the pillow', then
he said:
“You will find the will in the
second drawer of the desk in the
library. The keys hang yonder.
You will Bee that I have not for
gotten you, though I know your
father left you independent of any
Kelp of mine. Had you come a lit
tie earlier I should have made you
guardian of Allie. She haa been
as a daughter to me, and though no
drop of my blood runs in her veins,
I have left her a child’s inheri
tance. She will be all alone now;
you must be her friend and pro¬
tector.”
Not a muBcle of Robert Roth¬
say’s countenance indicated the
rage and disappointment that were
busy at his heart.
“You may count on me my dear
uncle.”
At this moment Allie returned.
After placing the eool goblet to
his lips she gave him a sedative,
and soon the sick man sank into a
heavy slumber.
The declining sun touched the
western hill*, and still the two
kept their silent watch; the heart
of one absorbed in the thoughts
that she would soon lose her only
friend and protector, the other
wrapped in more bitter,
Weared by her nights of sleep¬
less vigils, the head of Allie drop¬
ped lower and lower, until it rested
upon the bed beside which Bbe sat
As soon as he became convinced
that Bhe was sleeping soundly he
arose, and taking the keys from
the nail where they hung, slipped
noiselessly from the room.
He met Mrs, Ames, the portly
housekeeper, in the passage.
“My uncle is quietly sleeping,”
he said, blandly, “and I think I
will go into the library until he
wakes.”
“Certainly, sir; this way, sir."
Here the housekeeper threw
open the library door for her mas¬
ter’s nephew to enter, following
him, but only for the purpose of
lighting the wood that had been
laid ready for kindling in the
large, old-fashioned fireplace.
Then dropping a courtesy, Blie
left the room, Robert taking the
precaution to turn the key upon
her.
He then approached the desk,
opening by one of the bunch cf ;
keys in his hand the drawer to
which his uncle had alluded.
There in a small tin box, lay Gil¬
bert Rothsay’s will.
After a moment's irresolute j
pause he broke the Beal.
impatiently ■
He ran his eye over
the long, ‘ wordy document, which
was written on thick, parchment¬
like paper.
‘The beggarly pittance of Fo,000
tome!” he muttered between his
closed teeth, “and all the rest to
the brat he picked out of the
street, corse him!”
Robert Rothsay counted his
w*alth by the thousands, but still
he coveted more, and it nearly
maddened him to see the inheri¬
tance he so eoafidently believed
would be his pass into the hands
of a stranger.
Holding the will in his clenched
hand he turned toward the fire¬
place, the temptation at his heart
plainly depicted on his agitated
countenance.
Just then came the sound o:
hurried footsteps, fo’lowed by low
knocking at tne door.
“Mr. Rothsay, your uncle 'j, dy¬
ing!”
“Now or never!” he lettered, as
he flung the will on hne embers.
“Coming,” he/added, as the
knocking contii.aed.
Then hurriedly restoring the box
to the drawer, he locked it and

“No will, did you say ?‘^^H
Lawyer Gray fixed his e;
keenly on the face of his compi
ion.
‘What need was thereof a will?”
inquired Robert Rothsay in a tone
of surprise. “My uncle would
naturally wish his property to be
inherited by the only child of his
only brother, to whom it would fall
by law. •
“By the way, it is my intention
to sell the house and real estate,
and should be glad of your aid in
disposing of it.”
“Sell the house,” ejaculated the
lawyer with an air of constination,
for he was an old friend of Gilbert
Rothsay and took a strong interest
in his adopted daughter.
“May Enquire,” he added in a
calmer volT , “what, in that event,
is to becoti r of Miss Alice?”
“Who?”
“Miss Alice Rothsay, your un¬
cle’s adopted daughter.”
“I really can t take upon myself
to say,” said Rothsay, with a shrug
of the shoulder. “I suppose she
will have to do as other girls do
who are thrown upon their own re¬
sources. Am I to understand that
you will aid me in tho matter 1
spoke of?”
The old man turned upon the
speaker’s face a look that he never
forgot
“Sir, I never yet aided a man in
turning an orphan out of tho house,
to whoso shelter she has so sacred
a right, and I don't think I shall
begin now."
Here, fearing that ho should say
more than was prudent, ’(Squire.

“If' a heartless scoundrel!”
be hi uttered, as he went down the
stairs. “I believe on my soul that
there was a will and be has de¬
stroyed it. Gilbert always said
that Alice should have the bulk of
his property."
When ’Squire Gray reached his
office he found a lad waiting for
him.
“Well, Georgie, Miss AHcg’b
property is gono, and your school¬
ing with it, I fear. But we must
hope for better days,"
“I didn’t coine to see you about
that, sir. Please look at this pa¬
per. Grandfather found it in the
courtyard the day Mr. Rothsay
died. I saw Miss Alice’s name on
it, and so brought it to you.”
'Squire gray unrolled the yellow,
discolored paper, only the long pre
amble of which was destroyed,
staring at it in a maze of be¬
wildered delight.
“Is it of any use, sir?”
“Use? Why, bless you, boy, it
i» Gilbert Rothsay’s will, which re
stores to Miss Alice her just rights,
and to you the opportunity you
have bo nobly earned! You will
not find her ungrateful. But, mind,
not a Word of this discovery to any¬
one.”
The next morning ’Squire Gray
was closeted with Alice two hours
before Robert Rothsay found his
way down stairs.
The lawyer’* first step was to re¬
instate the eervants in their accus¬
tomed jilacee, restoring the old or¬
der of things in many other r< -
spects, to the great joy of the
whole household.
“By what authority havG you
done this?” he demanded.
“By virtqs of the authority
Tested in me as executor of your
late uncle’s will,” was the calmly
uttered reply.
Rothsay turned deadly pale as
hi 1 -; eyes rested on the document in
the speaker’s hand’s.
“Scorched, but not destroyed, as
you see!”
Tne guilty wret b made a con¬
vulsive eff >rt to speak, but his
tongue clove to tho roof of hi*
mouth.
The old lawyer resumed:
“Robert Rothsay, because of her
intercession, whom you would have

in*law—for the aged were spared no
rnoie than the infant. Mrs. Biggs
concealed herself and children in a
sinkhole, until the Indians became
busily engaged in burning and
plundering, when she fled, and
succeeded in reaching the residence
of her brother. John (lolling*, son of
W illiam E. Codings, had justy?,ught,
a horse to go after the eow$, when
he saw au Indian approaebii %. in a
threatening altitude. He dropped
therein and fled,pursued by the sav¬
age, who was gaining on him, when
he heard the report of his father’s
rifle, and saw the savage fad with
the blood stiearning from his breast.
He succeeded in reaching the house
inssfety. There were in the house:
William K. Codings (whom the In¬
dians wed knew, and from hi* liner*
ring aim named Long Knife), his
two children. John an 1 Lydia, aud
Captain Norris. They kept, tha In¬
dian* hack until about da>k They
knew tbat a* soon as it was dark
enough for the Indians *to approach
the houss without beiug seen they
would set fire to it and turn them
alive. They therefore decided to
risk the peril of escape. Lydia went
ffrst, then her brother John followed
by Norris, and la*t “Ling Knife.”
As the latter was passing the corn
crib an Indian fired at him. He
immediately raised his gun to re¬
turn the lire, when he found that the
bad tired by the savage had broken
the lou’; of bis gun. He halloaed to
Norm to bring bun the other jiuu,
but,, A’, it is was like the Irishman,
“He had a brave heart huts coward¬
ly pair of legs,” and they carried
bun away, leaving Colli*gs to light
the Iudiaus alone with a broken
gun. When they crowded him too
close he would raise his gun and pre*
tend that he was going to fire, and
thus frighten them hack; for they
knew, from the which many shooting
matches in he came out
second to notic, that it was folly to
stand before his aim. In tliia way
he reached the cora field, under
cover of which he escaped. AfLt-r
plundering the house the Indians
set fire to them and most of the dead
bodies being within the houses were
thus coniumed. However, some of
the children were pierced by sharps
sticks and left sitting against trees.
Their horrible deed accomplished the
Indians started northward. A large
force of Clark county militia were
soon gathered from vicinity of Char
laslon, whi ii reached the scene of
carnage, while the smoking remain->
of the cabin and charred bodies
presented the moat horrible spectacle
they had ever witnessed. They
immediately pursued the savages
to the Ala.seataluok, which they
found so much swollen that they
could not effect a crossing, and were
compelled to give up the pursuit.
I’hey then returned aud buried the
remains of the victims in iwo graves,
about one hundred yards east of tb«
J., M. and I railroad, and near
whal is sines known a» the I’igeon

To attempt reaching o' Inrniug

time would therefore lmvo been
equivalent to deliberate suicide.
The companies, sent to occupy
thorn, wont before day and re¬
turned after dark. At the price of
certain death they dared not leave
tho ditches during the day, for the
euemy, with plenty of ammunition
and nothing to do, invariably
turned loose every cannon and
every ritlo when anything resemb¬
ling a Southern soldier appeared
to tha view.
All watching had to be done
through embrasures, and occa¬
sionally the boys would put an old
hat upon one of their bayonets and
hold it above the embankment, and
in not one instiuieo was it lowered,
however soon, without being liter¬
ally riddled and torn to pieces with
bulletn.
Once Company H., Captain Mor¬
row in command, wore occupying
the breast-works, when, through
the embrasures, a suspicious move¬
ment of tho Federal force wuh ob¬
served.
It was a dear, bright day, and
the Yankees, as usual, were all
•yes and all powder and ball.
Several of the hat experiments had
been tried with the never failing
result; but the threatened change
of base had to be reported to the
rear. It was a solemn and trying
moment to Captain Morrow. Call¬
ing iiis men to huddle around him
in the ditch, he said: “Boys, I was
was never backward to lead you in¬
to danger; now I bavo to send one
of yoa to duty; now I am required
to appoint you to brave the danger
of almost certain death. Will not
some of you volunteer to carry a
message to General Anderson and
save me the sad necessity of mak¬
ing the detail?”
For a moment thero was deep si¬
lence and there were solemn faces,
but only for a moment. “Cap¬
tain,” said Tom Malcom, “I’ve no
family; I’ll carry tho message.”
The message was communicated
and Tom, turning to the comrade*,
with a smile and a wave of bis old
wool hat, said good-bye boys,” and
placing his band on the edge of
the ditch leaped out and was at
once in fall view and in less than n
hundred yards of several thousand
armed enemies. It seemed as if
the imprisoned energies of bell
were turned loose. The gunboats
thundered from above aud below,
the batteries poured forth a con¬
centric stream of grape and scrap
nal, anil the rifles sent a long con¬
tinued flood of volleys after that
frail, fair boy, who could not be
touched, only becanse he was hug¬
ged close in the arms of a protect¬
ing Providence.
Op went tho brave, heroic Tom,
on through that open field, on, on,
on. Sometimes he stumbled ink
furrows just plunged by cannon
balls, sometimes ho fell on pur¬
pose, to stop, for one briff mo-|
mont, the mad pursuit of shot and
