,God bless them, and keep them for

heart.
Then the sleeping redskins were carci-

the dcyouring clement.
Ere long the little place was mass Of
flames
Nov, let justice be satisfied! ?! cried
Davis, as they were all clustered in front

One by one the six powcrlcss savagcs

For q few moments shriclss and yells
filled the air, and then nothing WAS to be
