He had not long to wait Just as it
came light enough to sight a gun,
musket shot and then several together
broke the silence, but with such
smOthcrad sound that his practiced ear
knew that they we're fired inside of
house, and hence were the guns Of the
white men. At the same instant sev-
eral war-whoOps burst on the air, but
In a tone indicating surprise and alarm.
These sounds explained the ambus-
cade to Mr.. Page, and knowing the In
dian habit of retreating singly, and not
in company, from q defeat, he kept
sharp watch from his hiding place, and
IN q few minutes saw q warrior running
| toward the woods to escape.
With unerring aim, he sent a bullet
after the fugitive. Hardly had he re-
loaded, when another Indian appeared.
and met the same fate. Other shots
were heard In the direction of the
house, and soon a third savage, hurry
ing toward the forest, passed within
range of the hunters rife and was
stopped forever.
Atlength a general silence prevailed,
and Mr.. Page, leaving his hiding-place,
crept cautiously toward the scene of
the principal fight.
Ere long he met some of the neigh
bors, and together they continued to
search for the savages. But 1t was
soon discovered that they had fed from
the clearing, leaving the slain, eleven
in number. Not a white man was miss
ing or injured.
In the afternoon a trench was dug
on n little knoll on the Page farm, and
the bodies of the dead Indians laid
therein. A log fence was built about
it, and the little inclosure is known to
this day as "the Indian graveyard"
Jimmie died in 1870, a venerable,
white-haired patriarch, and at his own
request was buried In the same in-
closure.

said Mrs. Smith, to her sister, Mrs. Davis,
as the sound of q child's shrieks came
across the garden from a neighbours house.
''What kind of a woman have you for a
neighbor. Does she abuse her children?''
mo, indeed, - replied Mrs. Davis. ''She is
one of the most tender mothers in existence
But you see. she believes in the Old-fash-
Toned styles OF dOctOring. When q child
needs physic, she fills a spoon with some
nauseOus dose, lays the little victim fat on
her lap, holds his nose till he Is forced to
open his mouth for breath, when down goes

noises denoung the approach of game.
At last the boys quick ear detected
footsteps. Distant and faint at first,
they steadily drew nearer, but at the
same time they We're so heavy and un-
like the footsteps of Wild animals that
the listeners We're mystfed if not
alarmed.
On they came, tramping through the
woods, and as they emerged into the
moonlight in the vacant spot near the
spring Mr.. Page and Jimmie counted
war-party of sixteen Indians.
Much to their surprise the red men
halted, and building fire on the hard
trodden ground, proceeded to broil
Yenison, roast nuts, and parch corn.
While eating they kept up an inces-
SAINT jabbering, enough of which being
understood by Mr.. Page to prove that
they were on the way to attack the set
Element at daybreak.
OF course upon the discovery Of this
dreadful purpose Mr.. Page and his son
We're overwhelmed by their feelings,
for the first house in the settlement
was their own, scarcely a mile distant,
where Mrs. Page and several children
would be easy victims.
What should be donel
To descend from their covert and
hurry on to give alarm seemed impos-
sible without being heard by the In
dians. To fire on them would avail
nothing, and would not save the settle
ment from attack.
Much low whispering passed between
father and son before q decision was
reached. Twice they sighted their
guns at the Indians, almost resolved 10
begin the fray at all hazards.
But at length AIR. Page, himself I'M
fitted by rheumatism for such an at
tempt, reluctantly consented to jim
mics urgency, and the brave lad un-
dertOok the dangerous experiment of
descending and flying to alarm the set
Element.
Removing his heavy homemade
boot and leaving his gun, he began,
with the stealth of a cat, to make his
way to the ground
The savages were not sixty feet dis
tant, and the least noise would reach
their ears, arouse their suspicious, and
start them on a search. But he was
equal to the occasion, and, after a few
minutes of intense listening, the
father knew that his son had reached
the ground
But now came greater peril, for

out swapping twigs and disturbing

BY wILLIsTON FISH.

A click" is a salt-spring, so called by
hunters because wild animals resort to
it and lick the briny ground. The
writer has seen the vicinity of such
springs trodden by the beasts of the
forest as hard as q cattle-yard. A
singular trait of many wild creatures is
that they never seek drink or salt by
daylight, instinct seeming to tell them
that safety requires such visits to be
made at night.

The Content. of an Errshell.

The weight Of an ordinary new laid
hens egg Is from one and half to two

quantity Of dry solid matter contained in
It amounts to about two hundred grains.
In 100 parts about 10 parts consist Of

white Of the egg contains a larger proper

no fatty matter, but consists chiefly OF

fatty matter OF the egg Is accumulated
in the yolk, which contains relatively q
snaller proportion Of heterogeneous matter
and larger proportion OF solid matter
