opened the back window and, gun In
hand. crawled through and ran down
the side of the knoll into a little
''swale' which extended for some dis
lance parallel with the rivers bank.
Once on this low ground she bent for
ward so as to keep her head ont Of
sight and hurried up to a point which
she knew must be about opposite the
sand-bar. Then boldly rising upright
she ran swiftly across the Intervening
ground TO the ~iver-banl1 and slid down
its steep side II the foot Of the bar.
The keen eyes of the Indians had
seen her at last. They guessed her
purpose and set up a howl like the cry
of a pack of wolves. Looking aside
in her fight along the bar she saw
them emerge, a yelling swarm, from
the creek-bed. and give swift chase up
the bank of the river.
They shot arrows at her as she ran,
but the range at first was too great.
and the shafts fell in the water or stuck
lightly in the sand behind her. Oddly
enough she thought of the scores of
wild geese that had been fired upon
from the bank and killed upon the
sands over which she was fleeing.
That hundred yards seemed a long
distance. The Indians gained swiftly
upon her and before she could reach
the island their arrows began TO whiz
spitefully past. She would certainly
have lost her life had not the boatmen.
who were rapidly drawing near, opened
fire at this critical moment Their
long-range rifles scattered the Indians
and sent them instantly flying.
Sallie had just breath left to note
that there were more than two men in
the tdtedU, and then she fell exhausted
and fainting upon the wet sand at the
edge of the island.
When she became conscious, Briggs
and Ellery were kneeling by her, one
on either side, tanning her with their
hats. Her clothing and hair were
drenched with the water they had
thrown in her face to revive her.
Looking up. Sallie saw two tall
strangers leaning on their guns and
looking upon her with sympathy and
interest They now came forward and
each in his rough vay-for they. too,
were frontiersmen-utt express
sions of grateful admiration, mingled
with not little wonder at the feat she
had performed.
When Gleason returned and the
story was repeated to him, he said,
simply, but with wet eyes: "Ye're a
brave woman, Sallie, but I'll never
leave We alone agin, so longs thar's
danger from Injuns. =
That night John Ellery set out for
Prairie du Chen in a canoe, and few
days later a squad of cavalry secured
the region in search Of the Sioux.
They did not find the Indians, who no
doubt knew of their presence and mis-
sion, for the sett ers at Little Pinnicon
saw no more hostile bands.
The strangers who had come with
Briggs and Ellery were men with fam
lilies, true pioneers in search of fresh
lands. They were so well pleased
with the Pinnicon Valley that they
marked claims adjoining the others,
and each brought wife and children
into the Little Pinnicon settlement !"

plants his when the weather is suit

Dried beef ''frizzIedn with little

Home woven blankets, made in
two breadths with a seam in the mid
die, are easily turned when worn, but
the factory blankets woven in one
piece are often neglected until worn

together with Saxony yarn, and the
cut edges finished off by the above di-
rections for the ends of blanket 1t

ABUSE OF ANTIPYRln.
The New Medicine Has Already started a
Vice of Its Own.

Vice of Its Own.
The new coal-tar product, antipyrin,
has already started a vice of its own.
This singular compound was discov-
cred by Geri.dn chemist. and on ac-
count of its remarkable qualities IS now
used the world over. 1t has the power
Of reducing the temperature of the
body by several degrees, and so is of
vast utility in treating fever5 aud re-
verish stages of many diseases. 1t does
its work by depressing the action OF
the heart, and generally when en-
ployed by physicians, it is acCOmpa-
MED with digitalis TO neutralize its in
fluence in the latter regard. Women
use it partly because it is a sedative
and partly because it makes the COM
plexion beautifully clear and pale
by keeping the blood away FROM
the surface of the body. The
habit, like all others, grows
upon the person who practices
it, 1t does harm. however. from the
first. With women who are weak it
increases their weakness; with those
having a predisposition toward heart
disease of any sort it increases the
tendency TO a terrible ex sent. Besides
these results, antipyrin exerts a pecul-
lar influence upon the blood, which is
not yet thoroughly understood by the
faculty 1t seems TO undergo some de-
composition or breaking down when
absorbed by the system, developing
unknown compounds, which either at
tack the blood itself or else powerfully
influence the nerves and gauglia which
control the vital functions. American
