Mutual Life Insurance Company, of which
Mr.. V. r. Foss is the Maine agent. 1t is en-.
graved by the American Bank Note Compa-

fathers and his wife on the way from church.
They are passing through the edge of wood
In winter. In the distance can be seen the
spire Of the modest village church and one or
TWO dwellings almost buried in the snow.
An amoushed party of Indians have dis
charged their arrows at the couple, but the
MISSILES lall near them harmless, their forces
spent. The Puritan has his gun in hand,
Just ready to raise it to his shoulder and lay
low one OF his enemies. His face is stern
and determined. His wife wanders on fear
lessly beside him, casting a furtive glance At
the supposed location of the hidden foe. The
lights and shadows of the engraving are ad.
mirably handled.
