claimed Betty, as the Indian turned
to resent the interference, and then
a sharp struggle ensued, which was
watched with delight by the other
marauders, who left their work OF

Betty Van Alstine was q stout girl,
used to the hard knocks of border
life, and the warrior soon discovered
that he had no mean antagonist.
He was forced to relinquish his hold
on the basket, which Betty did not

the ground, having been pushed
down by the determined girl, who
bore her hat off in triumph to the
shouts Of the red spectators.
Having reg aimed possession of her

and threw it into a pile of hemp, and
when her pursuer, the young warrior,
came up she reappeared, ready to
renew her defence of the hat. But,
abashed by the shouts of derision

Betty was left in possession of the
