When all his wondrous works we scan,

We often are constrained to borrow;
That which a kind asylum gives
To poor race of fugitives
The lovers pledge, the poets song.
What art makes short and nature long3

at a quick attack than in a long-con-
tinued siege. One or two OF the de-
Tenders were shot, and many OF the
Indians fell, but as their bodies were
quickly withdrawn into the woods, just
how many were killed was not known
until after the war was finished. The
last shot was fired by John Woods.
One of the Indians had sought the
shelter of a stump, from behind which
he kept firing at the fort. Uncon-
sciously exposing his right arm, the
intrepid John had fired, and broken it
with a rife ball. AS soon as his gun
was again loaded, he saw the left arm
of the same warrior, and, firing again,
broke that. He laughed as he saw the
savage start for the woods, each arm
dangling helplessly by his side.
The attack had ended about ? o'clock
in the afternoon, and the Greeks at
once left. In the course of an hour
some of the soldiers followed on their
trail, but soon came back to the fort.
But as all were afraid they would re
turn, the families began to leave for
Fort Madison, into which place the
stragglers kept coming all night.
The next day the soldier returned.
and Sinquefeld was abandoned. What
became of these dogs, Mr.. Hayden"
asked young Isham Kimbell, when all
the refugees were safe within Fort
Madison.

hawk aloft ready to sink it into the
skull of the terrified woman. Putting
the spurs to his horse he swiftly gal
Hoped TO her rescue, and grasping one
of the pistols, he shot the dusky war
rior just before the tomahawk fell.
Lut he breathed a sigh Of relief as
he saw the woman were near the gate
now The first to enter was a negress,
who in her terror stiN carried upon her
head the wash pot she had besn using
a the spring. He saw another young
woman, whose name he afterward
learned was Winnie Odom, when she
was near the gate sink to the ground
in exhaustion, but one of the soldiers
grasping his gun rushed forth from
the gate, and, Selling her by the hair,
dragged her inside the Enclosure.
All the women were within now but
one. She had not been able TO run as
rapidly as the others, and three war
riors running swiftly forward, inter-
rupted her fight, and before anything
could be done to protect hsr, one had
buried his tomahawk in her skull and
torn away her bleeding scalp.
DEFENDING THE FORT.
Isaac Hayden in the confusion scarce
knew what to do. All had gained the
fort now, and for a moment he was
tempted to make for the woods; but,

ooh, 1 saw them outside the stock
ade," replied Isaac, "but they were
thoroughly cowed Perhaps the noise
of the guns frightened them. At any
rate, they soon made for the woods and
that was the last saw of them"
And that was the last anyone saw Of
them, save as occasionally in after
years some hunter would meet some
strange animal in the forests, which he
knew not whether to call dog or
wolf. They were savage creatures,
but always appeared to be afraid of
men.
They were not molested and came TO
be known throughout that portion of
Alabama. as Isaac Hayden's dogs of
war" They were remembered and
protected because of the work they had
done at Fort Sinquefield.

put his horse into run, and circled the
sJockade. Just as he finished the
course and dashed through the open
gate, a volley was fired by the Indians,
who now had beaten off the dogs and
were ready to attack the fort. His
horse fell at his feet, and later they
counted five holes in the coat of the in
tpepid Isaac, which the bullets had
made. but he himself escaped unharm-
ed. The gate was quickly closed and
preparations at once made TO with
