the folding-bed had stood. 1t was now

When the patrol wagon arrived, this

stationed on either side and two at the

"Now!" said the sergeant, and he
manipulated the desk as Mrs. Bascomt

A Remarkable COniederacy of Sayages

The Iroquois, as they were named oy
the French, or the Five Nations, as they
called themselves, hung like cloud over
the whole great continent. Their con-

same language, and all attempts TO sepa-
rate them had been in vain. Mohawks,
Cavugas. Onondagas, Oneidas, and Sene-
cas- we're proud of their own totemS and
their own chiefs, but in war they were
Iroouis. and the enemy OF one was the
enemy Of all. Their numbers were sma''
for they were never able to put TWO
thousand warriors in the field, and their
country was limited, for their villages
were scattered over the track which lies
between Lake Champlain and Lake On
tario. But they we're united, they were
cunning, they were desperately brave,
and they were fercely aggressive and en-
ergetic. Holding central position,
thew struck out upon each side in turn,
never content with simply defeating an
adversary. but absolutely annihilating
and destroying him, while holding all
the others in check by their diplomacy.
| War was their business, and cruelty their
amusement. One by one they had turned
their arms against the various Nations,
until for space OF over thousand
SQUARE miles none existed save by suffer
