father, three sons and one daughter.
Two of the sons, brilliant young men
and promising lawyers, had been killed
in q railroad accident on their way to
the city on business connected with the
famous suit.

of loosing his beautiful boys in go terri

COLONEL ALIENS LEAP.

Colonel Allan's boyhood was passed
In Nova Scotia, of which province he
was citizen till about his twenty first
year. though he received a part of his
education in Boston. When the colo
nies declared their independence and the
war of the Revolution began, young
John Allan, who was an ardent Ameri-
can patriot made a strong effort to have
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick join
with Maine and Massachusetts, and de-
clare themselves free of England; and
If he had succeeded, those two provinces
would be free States of the American
Union to day instead of colony posses
sions of England. But the Tory infu-
ence there was too strong for him, since
he was then only about twenty-one OIL
TWENTY-FIVE years old; and he was
obliged to fly for his life to escape hang
ing.
He came over the border into Maine
md settled at Machias; and from thai
time forward, through the whole war, he
was the mainstay Of defence for th'
oeople of the eastern frontier. Fo
though quiet man, he was very de
termined one; and his rule of always do
ing exactly as he engaged to do sool
made him loved by the Indians, owe
whom he gained an almost complct
mastery and leadership. This was YER
important; for the Indians of the Penob
scot and Passamaquaddy tribes were the
yery numerous and very useful in war;
The government at that time coul
give Colonel Allan but little assistance
though he was we'll known to Washing
ton and Knox, and acted in concert wit
them. At one time, fearing that b
should be unable to give certain supple
! to the Passamaquoddy Indians, he lie
8 his two sons, William and Mark, as hos
G ages, in their hands, and proceeded
Y Boston, hoping to hasten the tardy a.
propriations made for them.
n Delay followed delay, and the lad
/. then aged thirteen and eleven, spent tv
years among the Indians, hunting po
poises and fishing with them, gettir
nothing better to eat all that time thu
' parched corn, fish and occasionally l
, of moose meat. All, how poor MI
