The Death Sign.
In the doorway of their cabin in the
far west, Susan Harding stood and
gazed out on the smiling scenes around
her.
The afternoon’* sun showered its
golden light over field and forest, a%i
turned the river which flo\<%*d wquiet
ly by, into a mirror that shone like poU
ished steel. But the woman standing
there gave no thought of the beauties
which surrounded her.
Shading her eyes withbr
gazed long aud earnestly away to tne
westward, as though she was expecting
the coming of someone from that di
rects n. Long and steadily she looked,
but the coming of no human being re
she said aloud to herself as she turned
away from the door, “I can’t see why
William does not return. He said he
would be gone no longer than noon at
the most. I am afraid that 'Some huiu*
has come to film.
“I shouldn't wonder at all if there
had,” said a voice from within the cab
in. “The redskins are on the warpath,
you know. I told William that he
had better stay at home to day. I
wouldn’t wonder a mite if we hadlrou

ra. always talking ot*cvil,
mother- Why is it that you will al
ways be a bird of ill otrien ? The red
skins have never as yet, dono us any
harm, and I trust' tlioy may not.”
“But they have other peoplo, if they
ain’t us> Susan,” said the old lady*, in
a half ofifende# tone. “You ain’t for*
got Imw they murdered thp Smith fam
ily dn9 # tb!!h burned their cabin to tne'
ground. They said they had two or
three signs of danger, but they only
laughed at themf* If they had' given
them heed it may be that they would
be alive now.”
“You are always talkiug pf signs,
mother Why will you do so? You
know there is nothing in them. It
makes me nervous to hear you talk of
them.”
“But there is more in signs than you
think, Susan. I don’t believe that any
body ever died yet. without some sign
being given them. Sometimes it conus
in one way, aod sometimes in another.”
“Don’t talk of such things any more,
mother, you make me nervous, al
though I don’t believe in thorn. But
Ido wish Vhlliiirt would "come. Now
that puts me in mind that I have his
frock to mend.”
Saying this, the young wife stepped
across the room, and reached up to
take down the garment where it hung
upon a peg on the wall. As she at
tempted to do so, three drops of bright
crimson blood fell and rested upon her
arm.
She turned as pale as death at the
sight, and a cry of half terror, l,iaU‘ sur
prise fell from her lips.
“What is it, Susan ?” demanded the
old lady, her husband’s mother.
The )Ouqg wife at first could Dot fiud
words to attswer y but she extended her
arm, Wiflrtle htigrit drops upon it, 11
toward the questioner.
“Good heaven !* cried tho old lady.
“What did that come from ?”
“I know uot,” answered S.usan. “It
fell from something upon my arm.”
“Did it oome fiafii the fr^k agked
the old-lady, 'With A olfhcntfa fa'Cft.
“It 1 seemed to. I had just laid my
hand upon it.”
“It is a death sign,” cried the old
lady shrilly. “Tho redskins have eith
er killed-William, or we aro going to
be murdered hero before he comes
back.-”
As pale as though her life blood was
flowing from her, the young wife sauk
into a seat.
“Do, you think so, mother T' she
gasped, forgetting for f ho moment her
recently expressed disbelief in such
matters.
“Yes,” she answered solemnly. .“I
am sure that is a warning to us. There
is trouble in store, and I am sure we
shall see it before long. What else
can this sign rneau ? For sign I am
sure it is !”
Tao young wife made no answer, but
bhe rose from her seat and took a step
towards the spot where the garment
hung. ' But she did not reach it. As
she stepped forward she gave a glance
out through the open door, and there
she saw that which at once arrested her
attention. -
r The forms of four savages, in Indian
file, were gliding towards the cabin.—
Another glance showed her that they
were fully armed, and as hideous as
war paint aui feathers could make
thorn. * , * m* * i >
For a moment she stood as thotlow—
less as though turned to stone. Could
rt bo that the death sign was so soon
to be mad* a verity if It certainly look- \
ed like it.
Ofttimes the savages had visited
their cabin and 'departed without do
ing them harm. But she had never
seen them come iu the guise they now
wore.
Surely it must bo that they meant
them harm. Perhaps her husband was
indeed slain and now they were com*
ing to accomplish thcii destruction al
so.
By a violent effort she burst; the spell
i that was upon her, and springing for
ward. she closed the door of the cabin
and threw aoross- it the stout oaken bar,
served to hold it still firmer iu
its place.
“What is it, Susan ?” cried the old
lady, startled from her seat.
“The savages, mother !”.she answer
ed, r f wr,§
T23a 3HT /
'Cttl!|otfif Sillies.
“What, so soon ? I knew that sign
was not meant for nothing. What shall
we do.”
“Keep them out of the cabin if wc
can. We will not die so long as there
is a chance left for us fco make good our
£ fohddight of a heroine in
her eyes now, and a look of determina*
tion upon her lace. The spell which
the omen had cast upon her was gone.
If the worst was to come, she would
j|lU|er,Kfg a*|. as possible.
“uh, William, why did you leave
us?” groaned the mother. “If you
wero only hero with your good rifle we
should be safe !”
A moment more and the sound of
of lriendsliip or of hate would soon be
determined.
A little later they tried the door,
which shook, but stirred not from its
V • ‘ ” answered' Susan, in
as firm a tone as she could assume. —
“Some other time when the white l.ui*
ter is at homo, we shall be giad to sea
you.”
“While woman, open door, or Injin
break down and take her scalp,” ex
claimed the voice fjom without.
To this she returned no answer.
Again was the demand made for
thoir admittance, but a profound si
lence on‘ the part pf the women was
their only answer.
Again aud again was the door sha
ken, with all their strength, but to no
purpose. Bravely it withstood them
Thi-t it might continue to do so un
til her husband’s return was the prayer
of the imperiled wife.
But then if the omen was true, and
her husband had fallen ? Then, sooner
or later the savages must triumph.
With all <heir strength the Indians
threw themselves against the door. —
•Still it did nougive away.
Then they attacked it With their
tomahawks. Blow after blow rained
upon it in quick succession. They
were attempting to cut a hole through
its centre large enough for them to
creep through.
Unceasiuglj they worked, and at
last the trembling women within saw
the edge of their tomahawks. A little
longer, and tho aperture would be large
enough to give them admittance.
Grasping her husband’s axe, Su-
*Har<fmg *st< tod ready for the fit,
nal conflict. One of the savages thrust
a hand in to pull away a portion ot the
wood. In an instant her weapon dea
-sceuded, and the Laud of the savage
dropped to the floor. A howl of* rage
aud pain followed from without, and
Inefsuflfceis of’tilr blpw gave her new
courage.
Undismayed by the accident which
had befallen their companion, tho other
savages worked on. At last the hole
! was large enough to admit of the body
of a man passing through.
Not benefitting by the fate which had
befallen their companion, a savage
thrust bis head k in through the open
fh§. ™fin ah instant tho 'axe fiescended,
and the skull of tho savage was clove
in twain, while the blood and brains
bespattered the floor.
“Courage !” cried old Mrs. Harding
“May Heaven help you, Susan, to tri

Tne w6rd"s left her lips
when tho ringing report of a rifle sound
ed in their ears, followed by a trium
phant shout, which told them that the
son and husband had returned.
The dead savage lay with his head
through the door until William Hard
ing removed it, so that he might gain
an entrance himself, as he did a miu
ute latei when the red skins were all
dead or put to flight.
Tho joy of the meeting we will leave
to the reader to imagine.
A little later Susan told him of the
sign which his mother had declared to
be an omen of evil. With a smile the
settlor removed the garment from the
wall, and thrust his hand into one of
the pockets.
This morning I killed a squirrel,
which I meant for the cat. Look at
this pocket. 1 placed it in here, and the
cloth is soaked with blood.
Old Mrs. Ilarding was silenced, al
though it must be confessed that her
faith iu signs was by no means diuiin.-

TWO FiUIQtS SCOUTS,
ISuif&io Bill aud Captain Jack-
The Friendship Between
the Two Scouts.
As illustrative of the friendship ex
isting betweeu the two scouts, Buffalo
Bill and Captaiu Jack Crawford, we
may relate a little story of the manner
In which Jack (now slowly recovering
in this city from a wound inflicted in
his thigh by the acodental discharge of
his*pistol while performing at the Na
tional. once came to Bill’s re
lief far out iu the wilderness. Buffalo
Bill, acting as a scout, was leading an
army of some 4,000 men into the In"
diao country. Long after Bill and the
army had left the list post on the fron
tier Captain Jack was sent as a bearer
of despatches to the officer in command
of the advancing forces. Before mount
ing his horse to set out on his journey
Captain Jack thought of a slight weak
ness of Bill’s for “fire water.” He
felt quite sure that a “drop ot the ar
dent”, in iliJiwilderness would bo more
acceptable to* Bill than the heaviest

shower of manna that ever fell. Ho
therefore procured a bottle of the best
wbi&ky to be had at the fort and stow
ed it away for Bill.
He was obliged to travel four hun
dred miles before overtaking the troops,
so far had they advanced before he was
sent after them.
When Jack had reached the camp.of
the soldiers and delivered his despatch
ed to the commanding officer, he sought
out his friend Buffalo Bill.
The two scouts grouted each other in
the hearty and sincere style of front
iersmen. After a few minutes had
spent in asking and answering
qbelstions Jack informed Bill that he
hid hrOught something for him all the
,wav from the post. “ w hat is it you
jhave taken the pains to bring so far ?”
asked Bill.
“Guess,” said Jack ?
“Ilow can I guess ? It must be
very nice and very useful
to he /Carried so far and in such a eouu
try.”
“It is very nice ; as regards its use-*
fulness, you must be judge.”
“Why don’t you say what it is at
once ?”
“Oan’c you guess ?” * jp?
“NA,”
“WWt would you most like to haVo
just now ?” > -
“Ajzoad, Mg horn of old Bourbon,”
franhfw 'admitted Bill, smacking his
- . ..
“Brpvo I I have brought you a whole
bottle, and a rousiug big bottle* too !”
“No, Jack? Get .out, now, you can’t
fool me ? n
“Honor bright 4”
“Call it be possible that you have
carrfed a bottle of whisky four hundred
miles?” ' ‘
“You know, Bill,that I never drink*”
“I know: but to think of bringing
it so. far.
“Just as easy to carry it four hundred
mile.s as to carry it ten, once I had it
stowed away.”
“.Jack, you’ve worked upon my
feelings to uch an extent that it will
go hard with.me if you are only fool
ing.’’
“Come and see.”
Jack led the way and. produced from
his saddle-bags a quart bottle of what
Bill pronounced “good stuff.”
Bill sought out a chum among the
offippts, and the two stole away to a
neighboring brook, where they seated
themselves in the shads of a clump of
willows, and never left the spot until
they had drained the bottle to the last
drop. Bill swore that never in his
life had he tasted whisky that cmne so
near his ilea of the tipple of the gods.
That evening some of the men were
heard to say they would think Buffalo
Bill was “a leetle set up,” did they not
know that there was not a drop of
whisky within 400 miles of the camp.
Captain Jack looked wise, but said
nothing.— Virginia Enterprise.
