of Arkansas was 80 densely popula
ted rs now, and as when the mails
from Little Lock to the eastern bor-
ders were carried on horseback,
there lived a few miles above Horse
head stout pioneer name Jacob
Burnap. His wife Polly and one
child nine years old made up his
family. His chi,t business was
hunting, and his unerring rifle never
failed tc supply his board and some
thing ovci. Ills neares: neighbor
wis fifteen miles off. so he was little
trouble with prying visitors.
1t was early in the spring that Ja-
cob started down the river with
boat-load of furs and skins. He left
Polly in charge Of the premises and
he left her, too, 4 light rifle and Il
brace of pistols. She knew how TO
use the life. for never was she hap
pier than when her husband patted
her on the shoulder and said, "Nobly
done, Polly, my dear, | could not
nave made a better shot myself
And ne had occason to say this
with truth, too.
Jacob Burap had been gone four
days, when towards evening horse
man rode up to the hunters door
He wns Il small, muscular man, some
forty years of age, and seemed in
ured to all hardships. As he sprang
from his saddle, Polly made her ap-
pearance.
'Ah Polly, once more here the
conner said, As he drew, q well filled
pair of saddle-bags from the back of
his fatigued beast.
"Yes, and | am glad to see you.-
Jacob has been gone four days, and
time is getting heavy"
Jacob gone! Where?'
"Down the river with Il load Of
furs."
ooh, Yes. Well, you shall have
the company OF Liant Norton for one
night at least, SO for the next twelve
hour. you'll be safe"
"Oh, feel safe enough returned
the woman quickly-'only little
lonesome.
Thus speaking, Morton threw his
saddle-bags into the cabin and led
his horse around to II low shed, where
he made the animal fast and fed
him.
Af;er this he returned to the dwell
! ling and entered, and vas soon dis
cussing the events of the time over
an ample supper. His hostess had
told him all that had transpired i'll
the neighborhood since his last visit,
and the visitor gave her all the new;
of the Eastern valley.
Liant Morton had been mail car
rier upon that route for several years,
and not once Aad he passed to and
J fro without spending night at ia
! cob Burnap's In fact, he was about
the only regular visitors at the hun
tcr's cabin, and although the inter
yaIs between his visits were long, yet
he seemed almost fixture TO the
place. Polly Burnap, just in the
bloom Of womanhoOd, knew his gen
tie. generous, noble character, 50 she
perfectly free and at home in hi:
presence.
