How WOMAN FOUND HER LONG -Losr Chill
DREN.-Since the prevailing Indian troubles COM
menced, an Indian camp was captured, together
with number of prisoners, including s1uaws and
some half a dozen white captives, boys and girls,
from five to twelve years of age. Word was sent
throughout the country, inviting those who had
lost children to come to the camp and identify if
possible their children, none of them could give
any account who their parents were. or where they
were taken from, so young were they when taken
captive by the Indians. Numbers went to the
camp-many more than there were children--and
of course many returned with heavy hearts at be-
ing unable to find their lost ones. Among the
number who went hundreds of miles to the camp,
was mother who lost two Children boy and q
girl, one three and the other five years of age
years ago. Efforts were made to persuade her not
to go, and so long time had elapsed it was certain
she could not identity her children. even if they
stood before her. Rut she could not rest-she must
go, and go she did. On arriving at the encamp
ment, she found the captives ranged in line for
inspection. She looked at them first from a dis
tance-her anxious heart bounding in her bosom.
But she did not see her children-at least she
nothing in the group that bore the slightest resem
blance to her baby boy and girl as they looked
playing about her door step. She drew nearer and
peered deep into the eyes of each, who returned
her look with stony gaze yet anxious One-they
too, hoping to see something in her that would tell
them that she was their mother. She looked long
and steadily at them, as her heart began to sink
and grow heavy in her bosom At last, with tears
and sobs, she withdrew, and when some PAGES off
she stopped and turned about quickly. as. appa-
rently a thought had occurred to her. Driving her
eyes, she broke forth in sweet hymn she was wont
to sing to her children as a lullaby. Scarce
line had been uttered, when two of the captives-a
boy and girl-rushed from the line, exclamng
" Mamma Mammal The mother went home
perfectly satisfied she had found her long lost
children.
