The trader who started the city was re¬ turning to St. Joseph with u number of red men, and they stopped with an ac¬ quaintance of Uobidoux's close to the house, and Kobidoux went in to re¬ main overnight as the guest of his friend. The settler closed the front door aft¬ er they lmd retired, and Kobidoux. who was used to sleeping in the open air. went softly to it and opened It. The owner of the? house waited until Uobi doux was in bed again, and the settlor closed it. That was repeated a dozen times. “The next time that door is closed there will he trouble,” said the man who had founded St. Joseph. He resumed his couch with that.
