Frontier SKETCHES
NUMB Err FOU r
By JOHN J. HEALY.

By JOHN j. HEALY.
Of course | had to let the Indian
90. Experience had taught me
that it was always safer to display
a fearless and even savage spirit
towards hostile Indians than to
show them either friendship or
mercy. They readily understand
and respect the former, but invari-
ably mistake the latter for timidity
and conscious weakness. But |
was a stranger to the party, and
having no property in the train, |
had no right or desire to disregard
The wishes of these people whose
whole earthly possessions were at
stake, however confident [ might
be that I was acting for thei best
interest.
The moment I let 60 the Indians
scalp lock, the villain bounded of
over the prairie, like a deer, his
his movements fastened BY large
dog belonging to the train, who
followed close at his heels for a
quarter Of 9 mile or more, but sud
denly stopped, turned, and came
running back as fast as his legs
could carry him. The owner Of
the dog understood its actions and
and said. at once that the animal
was frightened at something it had
either seen or scented. This made
me think there might be more In
dians hid in the grass near where
the dog bad turned, and I suggest
ed that some of US had better mount
our horses as If we intended to ride
out and attack them. This ru had
the desired effect. We had hardly
touched our saddles before fifteen
or twenty Indians sprang out Of the
grass, a.. if BY magic, and ran to-
wards the river. We chased them
close up to the bank, but the last
one plunged in and was half way
across the stream before we arrived,
and d number Of shots fred from
our rifles appeared to have 40 ef
feet.
Meanwhile. the fire had been put
out around the twain, and the Wo-
men had partly recovered from
their fright. But there was d
serious look upon every face, and
it was no difficult matter to per.
ceiye that themen as well as the
women were at last beginning
to realize the danger Of travelling
in country infested hY hostile In
dians, and the necessity for extreme
caution ID order to defe4t the pnr-
poses Of their blood thirsty foes.
They were uo longer self confident,
but sought eagerly for advice, and
were willing to adopt any meas
ures for the general safety that
the more experienced members ofI
the party might suggest. Norton
particularly was extremely humble
and now regarded his late escape
as quite miraculous.
Mr.. Beebe, who had been pranc
ing around the prairie il search oil
a powder horn lie had lost while
assisting to put out the fire, came
10 while tie party were in consulta-
ton, and holding UP the recovered |
article delivered himself asfollows
