size; on foot, he looked huge
and statuesque, suggesting to the
mind Of the beholder the idea of
some vast piece of monolithic
sculpture upon which ancient
Egyptian art had striven to ex
press its conception of all that is
grand and terrible.
There was one trait in Old Stubs S
character which made him a gen
eral favorite with everybody. He
was a firm and reliable friend of
little children. He always re-
garded them, when about him, as
being under his special protection;
and there was no sacrifice that he
would not cheerfully make in or
der to shield them from danger, or
any unwarranted molestation.

OLD STUB.
An Original Story of Early
Life on our Borders.

When the state ol Arkansas was
admitted into the Union, in 1886,
the territory lying in the south
western portion of it was we'll
nigh al untrodden wilderness
For some reason or other nature
had here heaped up the earth for
miles and miles around into vast
ridges, all pretty generally mac
adamized with crushed flint, with
here and there a towering mount
ain peak braced up with massive
ledges of old red sandstone, and
over the whole she had planted
and reared g dense, dark forest of
gigantic growth and vast extent.
This she had peopled most plenti
fully with wild animals of the
most ferocious kind, the wolf,
bear, panther. aad even the dread
ful mountain lion. These savage
creatures, too, often behaved about
the infant settlements in a way
that seemed thrilling and, at

the grou I'd in despair, and aband-
oned themselves to tears and hope
less cries for help.
They had heard the answering
halloo of Mr.. Williams and recog-
nized the familiar voice; and the
nearing thunder of the horses feet
told them that be was coming.
They greeted his arrival with an
announcement of their disaster.
80, we have lost the baby!" "We
have lost the 6aby, and we our
selves have been lost all day!"
"Lo>, the habyr' exclaimed Mr..
Williams MY Godi' when
did you last have it, or see it?" 90,

Sandstone mountain, wherever

cliff" "The dog is with the

Mr. Williams was too familiar
with the ground to need further di-
rection See said he, "that you
do not leave this spot until return
to you;' and then strong hand
upon the rein brought the horses
head to the proper point. This
movement was understood by Fly
to be a signal for some mighty ac-
tion on his part. His eyes flashed
with the fire of animation. His
1.-THE frame crouched and with an in
itial spring that carried himself
and rider high in the air, and for an
incredible distance, was off
dashing through the forest
with all the mad velocity of wild
deer struck with a rifle ball.
The distance to be made was
something more than mile, so
extravagantly astray had been the
wanderings of the poor, bewildered
women.
But onward swept horse and
rider, up hill ard down hill, clear
ing the trunks of fallen trees, tear
ing through brakes, jungles and
thickets, and on, and on, like a
first class whirlwind on its liveli-
est wings. Never was another
race run with such abandon.

thirty acres in a fair state of culti-
walton.
The family consisted of Mr.. Will
liams himself, Mrs. Williams, a
maiden lady by the name of Pei
ham, sister of the latter, and
another whom, for the present, we
snail have TO call Baby Williams,
a sweet little girl about six months
of age.
There was, however. one other
individual in connection with this
same household whom It will be
needful to mention with some de-
gree of particularly on account of
the important part which he is to
play toward the conclusion of this
story; and that was Old Stub, a
large bull dog of dark drab color,
which deepened into real black
about the mouth and fore legs.
Nature, in framing HIM, had some
how omitted that posterior ap-
pendage in which brave dogs usu-
ally take so much delight; and
this circumstance it was that i'm.
parted TO his robust physique that
peculiar bluntnesS of appearance
which suggested the uncouth name
by which he has come to be
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1898-01-27

Pelham acquiesced, and both be-
gan to get ready for business.
In the meantime Old Stub stood
intently cycling the movements of
the women, at the same time
manifesting signs of the deepest
concern. But when he had seen
the baby actually lodged in its
place on the ground, he dismissed
his looks of silent remonstrance,
and set off on a may trot around
and about the place, sweeping
his great blunt nose along
near the surface of the
ground. Stopping sho't now and
then he would raise his head and
gaze off into the forest, while the
black stripe of hair that lined his
broad back, repeatedly rose and
fell.
The women started, pals in
hand, Ia hpgin the harvest OF
berries. At this juncture the Digs
behavior began 80 show signs of
doubt and indeci>ion H. was
evidently prrplexed upon ques-
tion of duty. He saw that the
women were going away, and that
the baby, to which he felt devot-
edly attached, was being left be-
hind. 1t was impossible for him
to be with both at different places
at the same time;and yet he seemed
to feel that his guardian pres
ence with each, at that hour, was
a pressing necessity. He was
forced, however, by the state of the
case, to choose with which he
would stay. AT first he was dis
posed to go with the women, and
actually started; but he had not
gone far when he stopped and cast
a thoughtful glance back at the lit
tie pallet. Having dwelt upon
the view for a moment he again
turned his head and followed the
women with his gaze until they
had gone clean out of sight in the
berry thicket. He then turned
and walked leisurely back to
where the baby was sleeping and
brought his nose down close to
the lips of the babe, and, having
caught a Whit of its sweet breath,
gently lowered his gigantic form
to a crouching position IN close
proximity to the little pallet, as
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1898-01-27

which an excited imagination
could present the body of a sweet
little babe torn to pieces by herd
of savage wolves, co .splred TO en-
hance the fury of the flight.
Soon the White cliff came into
view, and also the great tree.
Soon, too, had Fly nobly done his
part and was standing with dis
tended nostrils gazing with fash
ing eyes and equine majesty up
on. ihe s:rangeness of the scene
about him. Mr.. Williams hastily
threw himself from the saddle,
lifted his baby from the ground,
kissed it, and pressed it fondly to
his bosom. 1t awoke in an appar-
ent ecstacy of good humor, and
smiled, and cooed-as only baby
can-and began to entangle its
tiny fingers in the long shaggy
beard that. in frontier fashion, dan
gled down from the fathers chin.
1t was obvious, however, that its
rest during The day had not been
altogether unbroken; the dried re-
mains of a few tears distinctly
mapped upon its plump little
cheeks, showed pretty clearly that
its time had been passed in con-
formity with life's usual pro-
gramme-in waking, and weeping,
and sleeping.
At the same time the mans at
tention was challenged by the ter
rible signs of violence that ap-
peared around him on every hand.
There lay Stub drenched in blood,
motionless, apparently dead. The

surface of the ground everywhere,
except a small spot about the pal
let, was torn and gashed in a man.
ner that indicated a most desper-
ate struggle, and that, too, between
two combatants of superior
strength and courage. That one of
these had been Old Stub was only
too evident, while a great broad
track impressed upon the ground
in countless numbers, and fringed
the marks of immense claws, left
No doubt as to the species of the
other; only, he was nowhere TO be
seen.
"A bearl" soliloquised MIR. Will
liams. Then turning to the dog,
he demanded, "Where is he,
Stub?" Find himl" This ami
mated address, coming from his
master; electrified the dropping
energies of the dog, and, for the
moment, he was inspired with his
wonted ambition. He sprang to
his feet, and, with a bluff bark,
made stumbling bound off in the
direction of the place where he
knew the beast was lurking. But
he was not able to proceed. Fall
ing to the ground again, he re-
lapsed at once into his former
state of drowsy inattention.
Mr.. Williams understood the
meaning of his dogs conduct; he
felt that the author of the mischief
was not far away. Returning his
baby softly to the ground again, he
stepped of cautiously down the
hill, gun in hand; he had gone but

much as to say, "My duty is here" 4"
1t was not long until the women
bad filled their vessels and were
ready to return; but their ramble
in the thicket had been somewhat
extensive and not little bewiid-
ering; the result was they lost their
reckoning. Accordingly, in at
tempting TO retrace their steps, the
course they took was quite the
reverse of what they should have
taken, and every step they took
only carried them further and
further away from the spot which
they were endeavOring to find.
They were hopel essly lost.
Mr.. Williams remained at home
that day. In the afternoon, how
ever, he threw the saddle on Fly,
his favorite hunting horse, and
taking his gun rode into the woods
to look after the welfare of certain
live stock, as the wolves had re-

the year when the wild fruits were
ripening. Mrs. Williams gave no.
tice at the breakfast table, that it
was her intention to 60 into the
woods that day "a huckleberry-
ing," and that it was her desire
that Mary Miss Pelham) should
accompany her. Accordingly,
when the morning work was all
done, preparations began to be
made for the jaunt. Mrs. Viii
liams swung the baby upon her
back in the manner of an Indian
mother and was ready TO move.
Miss Pelham carried the vessels
into which was to be collected the
luscious fruit. Old Stub, without
being ;old a word upon the subject,
had somehow been fully apprised
of all that had been going on, and
at the proper moment, rose from
his resting place in the shade,
shook the dust from his sides. and
deliberately took his place in the
line of march.
A good part of the forenoon had
been spent in vainly strolling up
and down the untrodden glades of
the forest in search after the de-
sired fruit; and their wandering5
