The Austria sailed from Bremen on

A THRILLING ADVENTURE.

We question whether, in the history of
hair escapes, parallel to the fol-
lowing can easily be found. The story was
told us by an old and valued friend, now
residing in the country near this city, but
whose early days were spent near the trag-
ic adventure here recorded.
We give the story as related to us, in
the words of the hero.
1t was about the year 1905 that l set
tied in Virginia, near the falls Of the Kena-
wa. The country at that time was an un-
broken wilderness. But few settlements
had been made then by the whites, and
they were SO far apart as to render vain all
hopes of assistance in case of an attack from
hostile Indians-numbers of whom still in
tested the neighborhood.
L lived there alone with my wife for
several months unmolested, and by dint of
perseverance, being then young and har-
dy, had succeeded in making quite large
clearing in the forest which | had planted
with corn, and which promised an abun
dant yield.
'One morning after we had despatched
our humble meal, and had just prepared
to venture forth upon my regular routine
of labor, my attention was arrested by the
! tinkling of a cow-bell in the corn-feld,
There said my wife, the COW is in
the corn-feld.'
But the ear of the back-woodsman be-
comes, by education, very acute, especially
, so from the fact that his safety often de-
! pends upon the nice cultivation of that
sense. was not so easily deceived. l
!. listened-the sound was repeated. That,
said l, in reply to the remark of my wife,
was not the tinkle of bell upon the neck
, of cow. 1t is decoy from some Indian
who desires to draw me into ambush
Believing this to be the case, | took
! down my old musket, Il had no ritle,) and
> seeing that it was properly loaded, | stole
y cautiously around the field towards the
y point from which the sound seemed to pro
= ceed. AS l had suspected, there in a clus
J, ter of bushes, crouched an Indian waiting
u for me to appear in answer to his decoy

\ The bullet sped true to its mark, and tn

~ ~ Not knowing that he might be accom-
