were three or four hours getting
tilings ready, but when the time
came nearly all the end of the
building went down at once. My
wife and children were ready for
em. 1 hey dele in led the door wav
for full fifteen minutes, or until
all but this bov were sl.oi dead.
When the Indians tinally swarmed
in, lie was the only one left them
to wreak vengeance on. They
tomahawk him, started to scalp
him, and Ik* was tin* same asdead
for hours, lie i sure the others
wane dead before tln* Indians got
through t lie door, and i praise (iod
I'm thwt consolation, while it near
!y drives me crazy to flunk ol it.”
There was a period of silence,
I lie boy weeping bit t erly ,an,l I hen
(beer braced him ell anew. and
continued :
** And w hat did ldo' (iod lor
j give me! but i couldn't do any
thing! I was wild with excite
incut, and while I was trying lo
plan^oumllong, the red- made a
dash at me. They poured down
at me as it there was no end to
the number. They were right on
me the first i knew, and ; hoot ing,
slabbing and striking at me with
! their gnus. 1 g’ot this rap on Ilm
head then, and also this bullet in
the shoulder, but they didn’t tin
ill nm. 1 fought ’em, but bow
long I don't know , for I was crazy.
1 remember of them dodging all
around me, of striking at them,
and ol feeling the rage and tlm
strength of a wounded lion. It
was long after dark before I cool
ed down and knew my situation.
1 was then carrying this boy in.
my arms to the river. Where 1

et tire to il. This child must have
crept out and lii.l in the bushes,
while the bodies ol I lie dead were
burned, lie says he was con-cion:
when I crept upon him, and that
when he begged for water 1 took
him in my arms and started Ibr
the river. Well, wounded as I
w as, I tell better in t lie cool night
air. I wanted to save the boy,
and that helped nerve me up, and
I lie cool w ater eased our hurts and
refreshed us, and between ten o’
clock that.night and daylight the
next morning I walked twenty
two miles, carrying Hie boy half
the time. Imi wonder that we
are not dead, but it wasn't to be.
flic boy has been pretty tenderly
treated, but I liavn't fooled with
flit* doctors much. They dug out
some ot the lead, bandaged me
up,and I'll soon be all rigid again.
I’m going to take Charlie to Ver

j live. I've made a vow sworn by
all that's good and sacred that
1 11 enter into no other business
and have no other plans but to
kill Indians w herever and w hen
ever I can find them ! I'll slmoi
down old and young! I'll keep
right on killing through war and

MAKE YOUR OWN WAY.
David Speers was taking ids at'
lernoon smoko. Perhaps the long
clay pipe looked a little incon
gruous with the handsomely furn
ished room and the massive silver
plate on the mahogany side board.
But. lor that matter, lie was was
an incongruity—a little common
looking man, not very well dress
ed. Certainly a very wide contrast
to tlie handsome stylish looking
young fellow who interrupted his
reverie by a very trank and noisy
“Good evening, uncle. Can I talk
a while w ith you ("
“ I hut ,1,-pends, Robin, on w bat
you’ll* gunn to talk about."
“ \ ou know, mule, thal Aleck
Lang and I have been friend ”
" I have heard so; I don't know

“\\ell. We ha ve. luda \ A leek

“ lie'll nee,L ome bawbee -' tor

“Hi lather will help, and lie
a-ked me to .join him. What do
von think about it!"
*; How long haxe yoit been with
Hastie !” “ Five years.” “And
h,,w mu, It have you saved
“ W ell, to tell the truth, undo,
nothing; at a11..”
“What, with Jes-ie mam ing
last year, and Rosa Ihi . and the
presents I had to give, and other
expenses, m\ saving all went a
way.” “ Humph!”
“I thought, perhaps, that as the
business w as such an old sure one
and as both the Langs would he
interested in it. you would lend
me two thousand pounds for such
a wonderfully good chance.”
“ I have made il a rule never
to lend young men mom s.''
'Avery unkind iiile. which
touches me, uncle. Von were
never unkind to me before."
•• 1 am not unkind to you now,
either, Robin.”
- - Only Iwo t boil a ml. uncle, and
such a chance !”
•• fluid heavens ! hear tlielad!
Twa thousand! Did ye ever earn

new ventur,; it is sun- pay.”
•*ll is gaun t< lia e new masters;

about tilings •paying’ a. lads ol

So the young man went a way
much disappointed and not a little
angry : but other friend: looked
no,re favorably on the plan.
The JJ2,000 were borrow ed, and
Robert Rae and Aleck Lang
bought Ilm old established carpet
weaving house.
The first y ear the concern, in
spite of tailing'prices, did very

but paid bis interest, and allowed

'• Just her beauty and her noble

" \ mi'll couie to the wedding,
uncle!
•* Surely, mi rely.”
Il was a very grand wedding
and David Speers made quite a
| sensation by giving the bride a
check lor t.aOO. Indeed Jessie
seemed to ha ve quite captivated
I lie old barbel. >r, and he soon be
! gan to spend a great many of his
| evenings in her pretty home,
i Three years passed happily a
way.
In Robert's home there had
been some pleasant changes, and
I hisuncle danced a pretty baby.
Jessie, occasionally on his knee,
or looked admiringly and wondor
inglv at his ow n wee namesake
in his cradle. Down at the mill
things apparently equally pros
peroiis, All the looms were at
work,and the very welfare of
Kilmarnock as a community was
sensibly connected with the btisi
ness oi Lang A Rea's carpet mill.
But a great deal ol this success
was only apparent, for it hung
upon chances entirely beyond the
control ol t he young part lie is in it.
rimy had been compelled to lmr
row largely, and had big interest
accounts to meet, and a great
deal of their papers being from
ho use; un know n to local banker ,
had tone cashed at very heavy
discounts. All Iliese things. were
much against them, yet so great
was their industry and energy
that they might have turned them
all into '• happy circumstances,"
and won in : pile ot I lie odd:
against them, if yam had ntit
suddenly taken a trenmndou- and
quite tmlooked-lor tall.
This, ofcom e, wa followed
by a number ol failure in w limb
they suiter,<l,
Not all tlmircllort could now
gather together their numeroii;
lines o| cut er prise, and they lon ml
it equally impossible to control
tli em, ami o, after a lew mouths
ot desperarate, anxious struggle,
the linn became bankrupt.
Old David had long lore ecu.
and resolutely refused t<> meddle
in the mutter. A coolness had,
t liei,'fore grown up bet w eeiiunele
and nephew, and when ilm , u,l
came David was not among thus,-
who ottered Robert and Aleck ad
viceaml sympathy .The young men
behaved well. They ■in r.-od*'!'*.**!
everything, but creditor did not
fail to stigmatize as dishonorable
and itubusiness like and specula
live and risky the nature of the
trade done by the broken tiriu.
Aleck at once sailed tor Sydney,
where Im had a brother, and
Robert took lii- wile and children
to hot lattier's, while he endeav
ored to tin,! a situation. But week
after week passed, another winter
w as approaching, and nothing had
been done.
Once again David was inter
rupted. This time it was his
pretty neiee, Jessie. His face
softened wonderfully when he
met her large tear!ul eyes.
•• Oh, uncle,” she said, •• we
have sore need ol you.”
•• M \ pair lit Ile woman, sit down
and tell Davie what lie can do
tor you. ’
J.- sic s tale w as soon told—her
tears told it best.
Robert s heart had quite tailed
him ; they were almost penniless
and they had worn their welcome
out at her fat her’ ~
*• Then you'll come here, you
and Robert, and Jessie, and wee
Davie; an' w**’ll see what your
man i lit for. If lie canna lin.f
his feet wi’ a wife like von, I'm
sorry tor him.”
So (be next day the family mov
ed, with their small belongings,
to David’s house, very much to
the annoyance of Mistress Janet,
David's house-keeper. This lady,
indeed soon made things so un
pleasant that it was evident toall
parlies there could be no delay in
a decision, and Robert, almost in
de. peration, resolved on trying
his fortune in the new World.—
David, pressed by his house keep
er’s ."rumbling, and by Ins. affec
tion for liis nephew, knew only of
one ot her way- lie could advance
Robert money fora new effort.
“ But it would be the ruin of
the lad,” lie said, thoughtfully.—
' I’m doubting il lie’s learned bis
lesson yet ; be e'en go to school
again.”
So he praised Robert's sugges
tion, and olfeit and to pay the pass
age ot the w hole family and give
him tj IDO to start life with. The
offer was accepted, and in a few
days they were on the ocean, not
one of them aware of the real in
terest and alfection which follow
ed them.
•• But they'll write to me,” said
Da\id to himself. ** They'll w rite
lor they ken 1 have plenty* o’siller.
< bice on anew track, all Rob
ert’s energy returned. Provided
with a letter to the proprietors of
the Matlatook Carpet .Mills, he
found his way there, and readily
obtained work. A part of bis hun
dred pounds was used in furnish
ing a little cottage, and Robert
enjoyed a degree of peace and
comfort to w liieli lie had long been
a stranger. The next spring a
lucky event gave him a special
prominence. A large mill in the
neighborhood imported some ma
chinery for weaving a peculiar
kind of rug, and no one could be
found in the locality to make it
run smoothly.
Robert heard of the dilemma,
and offered his help. The loom
was familiar to him, his success
easy, lie had foil lid his place,
and he knew it. Day by day he
made his skill and energy felt.—
He rose to be overseer-—business
manager—partner. Still he va
tied very little the quiet simplici
ly of his home. Jessie and lie had
lotmd how little they really need
ed for happiness, and so, year bv
year, whatever they saved, was
invested in land, which grew in
value, while they slept and work
ed at other tilings, and ten years
after Robert's Ii let investment he
found himself, by simple grow th
of the village, a very rich man.—
Just ahoul this time, David sent
them a very urgent request to
come and see him, and as lie offer
ed to pay all expenses, it was ac
cepted. The old man was. now
nearly eighty, yet he was wonder
lolly hale and hricht, and met
them at the steamer, apparently
lilt!,* older tor ten years that had
elapsed since he bid them “good
bye on tlie very same spot. He
liked Robert way at the very
first glance.
•• He ha the look ol a man wi'
siller, an l.e bears himsel' well.”
A not her t lung made a still more
favorable impre? ion on David.—
Robert was not anxious to speak
on business. Indeed, David bad
al la I to ask bluntly :
“ on || lia'e done week i sup
pose
Very well.'*
“ \ oil'll no be needing any help
now ! I have money lying idle.”
'* I hank you, uncle ; bill I have
CRUioO lying idle myself. 1
thought ot investing it here, if I
can li ll< l just all the machinery 1
w ant."
*• ou r,* goin' to mauufacturing
again !”
" \ es; I know all the inns and
outs ol the trade—there is a g<od
opening in our town. \es I am
thinking about it.”
*■ You'll he wanting a partner,
eh
" If 1 can get tiie right tind.”
•• Would 1 do ?”
•• You, uncle !'*
“ Well. yes. laddie ; an' ye need
na scorn at me. I’ll put a lmnd
red thousand to your fifty thous
and, an' we'll call the firm *Rea A
Speers.’ ”
** \on cuul£m .1 leave Scotland,
uncle.”
u Was I thinking of sicli a daft
thing! i’ll tro tmv interests in
your hands. I'll lia'e my full
lights, mind; an' ye shall have a
fair allowance tor doing mv wark
as well as your ain. We'll put
e\ery thing on paper, and I'll hold
.von strictly to the bargain.”
I’he proposal, made half in ban
ter, tinally assumed a very real
shape,and it was agreed that when
Robert returned to America, lie
should start anew manufacturing
linn under auspices
to Ids lirst venture.
Bt%lhepnst was only once al
luded to, and then David intro
duced the subject.
*• f on 11 be tbinking, Roldn, ve
ry likely, o’the day when i would
na lend you f lie thousand pounds.
•• You were quite right, uncle;
no man ought to borrow* monev
until he knows the difficulty of
making it, and of sax digit; young
men can I know these tilings—
they belong to experience.”
“ You had that lesson to learn,
then, Robin, an’ 1 thought von
might as wee] learn it o’ ither
folks as o’ me. One fool’s whiles
teaches another fool, an’ both gro’
wise together. Sandy McClure
lent ye that two thonsaud, and he
w as mine the xvaur o’ the lesson ye
gave him. There would be fewer
young (bids if there were mail*
wise elders.”
So Robert’s visit was a great
success, and the old man shed the
last tears he ever shed on earth
when he hid the children good by.
“ f oil take care of wee Davie
for my sake, Robin,” he said ten
derly, bidding the lad proudly b\ r
the hand, “for when I’m no long
er to the tore, you’ll let mv name
stand i" the firm, till lie’s ready to
take my place; so then the hun
dred thousand will aye be in Da
vid Speer’s name.”
And to day the house grows and
prospers, though old liaviil lias
