underground ApdTDmcnb was NOT very
generous in its dimensions, but their
household goods were not very namer-
ous, and there were but two parscns to
become inmates Of it, SO they could
easily manage to exist there until they
were able to build more comfortable
quarters. How many of our brave
pioneer folk like them have patiently
borne with hardships, and lived in dug
outs or unoomfortably crarnped and
wretched cabins, that the untaaned prai-
ries might be reclaimed from the savage
and the wilderness, and made, after
many struggles, fruitful and fitted to
the needs Of civilized humanity. They
are real benefactors, and the world owes
them such great debt Of gratitude that
win never be redeemed. But their deeds
ofFvalor and noble sacrifices are recorded
on the scroll Of history, and we cannot
utterly ignore them, should we have the
disposition to do so.
Before night Hamlet had his shed
completed, even to covering one side and
the end and top with brush and dead
sundower stalks gathered from the ra-
vine; and Nancy had made the dugout
as habitable as twas possible to make it.
They had received no visits that day
from any of their distant neighbors, and
had almost forgotten Dick Hines
threats, when Nancy, who had been
down to the creek for q bucket Of water,
heard through the darkness OF the night
the rapid approach OF several horsamen.
