A Plot for a Playwright.

We remember tradition of the
Mac-a- Cheek valley that would be we'll
to commence with. After the fight,
and destruction of the Indian towns in
that locality, one of the volunteers,
wandering ia the woods, saw the head of
an Indian peering at him from behind
a rock, and without whereas of any
length and res olution quite as bGief,
brought his gun to his shoulder 8nd
fired shot that tumbled over the. in
quisitive aboriginal. To the hunters
horror he found the victim of the fe-
male sex, with a papoose strapped to
her back. He removed the babe, and
he aad his companion buried She
mother. He carried the infant over
hundred miles to his log cabin. ON the
banks of the Ohio, and adopted the
boy. He grew to manhood, shy, wild
fellow, with no taste for civilized pur.
suits, and love for the woods.
The situation was not pleasant; for
the youthful Lo was expected to work
for his living, and the labor was of the
hardest. To make matters worse; he
had the misfortune to fall in love Hith
his patrons daughter, a beautiful girl
with no end of suitors, and as an In
dian in those days was regarded IS
little better than negro now, his love
making did not prosper. His love. was
soon plghted to another, and ass the
wedding day drew near the young In
dian disappeared. The marriage csme
off with its usual merry-making, shat
consisted of rife shooting, races, and
wrestling during the day, and dapsing
and drinking at night.
The married couple had retired to
the bridal chamber, that made one end
of the double log cabin, and the merry
making continued all night. The; next
morning the two so lately united for
life were called to breakfast. They did
not respond, for the very good reason
that both were dead, being found inur-
dered OF their bridal couch.
Ali knew who the avenger was !; but
to leave no doubt upon that hagd a
wampum belt, worked by the poor girl
years before, was found upon the floor
at her feet. But he was never beard Of
after. He seemed to vanish into hight |
and memory. The poor father, gecog-
nizing the hand of retEibution, took to |
drink, and was returned to congress.
He is remembered as member 81 the
committee of ways and meana,s and |
accumulated quite property cat of
and Indian contracts. He is
spoken of to this day by an aged; red
nosed, life-insurance agent as that |
/" bloody old Brown who was Jackson
man with a bad breath and worse
temper. - Washington Capital.
