Indian Revenge. “ 0 , I do dote so on Indians!” So said a musicial little' voice, as Miss Margery Tracy looked over a book of beautiful engravings. “So what?” exclaimed a silver} headed old man who sat in an easy chair by the winter’s lire. “Dote on Indians, dear grandpa; they look so noble here in richly colored robes, their furs and feathers.” “Noble! the blood-thirsty rebels!” said the old man, holding out one arm as he spoke and striking it with the other, “that and this and every part of my body, m fact, is scared- by those infernal dogs. Why, look here, child, and he drew, the white loeks from his ample forehead,. see the marks, of toeir scalping-Lnives; they left me for dead once, and came near having these hairs hanging at their girdles.” “Why, grandpa!” exclaimed Mar¬ gery, drawing up-to the old man, “is it posible that great white, .mark was made by an Indian brave?” “An Indian coward?” c-ried the veteran, contemptuously. “Talk about their bravery; the stubborn, inborn devils, they don’t know what it means. The courage of a beast is all they have. My patience; girl, if vou had seen as much of the In¬ dians as .1 have, you’d never take these creature’s of a painter’s ivnagi- nation to be the simon-pure savage No, no, there’s a dmereuce. Ay child, I’ll tell you a story that w:i: cure you of doting on Indians. When 1 was a young mail I [hail many about with the vhildicn of the forest,’ as ..your poets call them. New .there yvas’never any poetry in your old grandfather, Maggie, little one. I never could see anything in their hideous, painted faces, and to tell the truth, they killed my only brother, and I hated the whole race. “We had a long spell of peace, and had become tired of our cab¬ ins upon Doone’s station. It was too easy a. life, simply’ gun¬ ning, fishing, sleeping and eating. We weren’t like the moustachioed gentry of the present Jay- even like the one who came to see you last night, little, child, though ho is a better speefmen than .sonic* " v : couldn’t dresk up in those' days and I take little bit-8 of paper in our hands : : and gd Fall -bpon the- pretty ladies ; and show * off our teeth and our | hroadchifli thd best, part of the day. ... ; We wjerc.TTragh , Jhiiun o|tr , hunting- . frocks^ who, thought- : a good sized | deag. g pne too heavy to throw oyer our shoulders'after welia-! run him ! down, and to whom other dfate, | were as fabulous an .'myths. “But, ’ as 1 tell you, we.....-there. were fouFof. ps-^-ha.l become tired of idleness, and wanted another bout with the Indians.

It was an awful night. The rain poured in torrents, tjiel ightning blazed from pomtto r po 1 i nt and 'the thunder seemed to crash and break against 0 | the sides of the lulls- Me were all I exposed *o the fury of the tempest, In the morning our clothes were wet and we had only saved our powder by sleeping on it. The wind, however, had subsided, and we tried again ,to get our horses over to the other sido—the creatures resisted every attempt, and wo were driven to the alternative of losing our lives or losing our horses. Of course the latter, and selecting .; cr.eli ^ us ^ q£ tho bes(> Wi , U1 ie {or the falls, “There was a. handsome fellow With us, a Kentuckian by bii$i ? who thought l wo had scarcely had - •' f, ' ■ adventure enough, so lie proposal to me to let the rest go oh, while lie and f captured two splendid bays.
