what to write to ''her' if Jack was never heard of more, and the "Chum' lived to tell the tale. A few hand-clasps were given. and although no reverent word was spoken, who dares say that many a thought commenting him to the care of the only one who could pro- tect him was not in the hearts of those uncouth but true hearted men when they bid their comrade good-by?
 In the darkness that precedes the dawn, Jack left the Notifications, and began his peri1ous way through the hostile camp. Crawling on his dirt-cov- cred hands and knees, he made but slow progress He scarcely dared to breathe, expecting every moment to be his last. Once he stepped on a stick that cracked under his weight. He thought his hour had come. But no stir following, he p1ticked up courage and at last reached some rocks out of sight of the Indians. and scarcely daring to believe his good fortune, he threw off the dirt sacks and started on run for Flint.
 It was a weary day. Often he lost his way, having only a small compass as a guide over the trackless plain and through the equally bewildering noun tains. It was long after nightfall when. with bleeding feet and exhausted strength he reached Flint, and told the

TRUE STORY
 OF INDIANS
BY AUNT HELEN.

THE summer of '66 opened with
 ! bright prospects for the adven-
 turous spirits who had pene-
 trated to the heart of the Owy
 A hee Mountains in search of sud
 den fortune. The wonderful Poorman Mine had not yet demon strated that it's Pockets were not bottomless, and the Golden Chariot, Ida Elmore and great Orc Fino prom ised untold wealth to their fortunate owners. Quartz mills, from the far East and West, were brought over the almost impassab ble mountain roads, and in an incredibly short time were add ing the ceaseIess din of hundreds of "stamps" to the reverberations of many blasts-and the shouts or team sters urging on their ten-mule teams, hauling immense wagons loaded with ore.
 Silver City was booming. Miners and business men. gamblers and adven- turers, and all the motley crew that seem tc rise out of the earth wherever there is a "strike''-Were there. Saloons and all their attendant surroundings were in full blast and as always few families, wives who saw that duty pointed to any goal the huspand sought, and innocent children, who were as happy and as Well-cared for in that wild mining camp as in the most staid of Eastern homes. But, amid all the rush and hopeful hustle, fearful dread cast its shadow over prospector, rancher and family alike-the Owyhee Indians were on the warpath!
 Lone prospectors, isolated cabins and lonely ranches had been visited by the merciless foe-and now at last the Chico stage line, recently established, had been attacked, the driver and two passengers killed, the horses stolen and stations burned. Something must be done
 Promptly a band of fifty hardy mountaineers, well armed, mounted and provisioned, and commanded by an experienced Indian fighter, started out, determined to find and punish the saw ages. For two days they rode over sage brush, plain and mountain-trail seeing no sign of the enemy, but know ing they were not far off. They had just found their camping ground for the night-a rocky, treeleSs plain, but with the one indispensable feature of a camp-a spring-arOund which they gathered and were unsaddling their weary horses, when some one. with an exclamation more forcible than polite,

 Il few minutes sufficed for spurred and mounted messenger to be on his way to Silver. The ten miles were quickly traversed, and by midnight. the alarm was given.
 An, the horror of that nioht Men rid Ing at full speed through one street shouting Indians, Indians!" The steam whistles of eight quartz mills gave one prolonged whistle; bells ring Ing, drums beating, and women run nlng Shrieking from their homes with their babies in their arms, thinking the Indians were at their doors. But after the whole town and vicinity were aroused, quiet was restored. and volun- teers for the rescue party were organ lzed, and by 10 a. m. two hundred and nfty men all armed andsInOst of them mounted, left the town, expecting to get the then rested messenger at Flint for a guide
 Imagine, if you can, the state ot things in Silver, where not more than one hundred able bodied men were left at least one hundred women and chil- dren; not fre-proof building in the place and very few available firearms. TO add to the anxiety signal fires were seen to go up on all the surrounding mountain tops, and it was known that the Indians kn0- the unprotected state of the town as we'll as the inhabitants
 
 and it was decided that at the first alarm all the women and children were to go to the largest quartz mill. which could be defended for time at least. But they were spared that horror. For two anxious days and nights the guard patrolled the hills. On the morning of the third day the rescuers and rescued returned without having had chance to fire a shot.
 The Indians, warned by their signals. knew that word had been sent some how, and also knew almost exactly when relief would come. So just two hours before the party reached the scene of the siege, the Indians quietly withdrew and were soon out of sight, and none too soon, for worn out and al- most famished Captain Jenkins and his men could not have held out much longer.
 When the retreating Indians reached the stage road they saw in the distance the lights of the approaching stage. The redskins, four hundred strong, ar ranged themselves along the road. meaning that the stage would run the gauntlet. The six horses came daSh1ng on, the driver all unconscious of the warm reception awaiting him. There were three drunken men inside the stage, the driver and guard on the box. The first warning they had of their danger was a WarwhoOp and a vOlley of bullets and arrows. The guard drop1ed wounded into the boot. With almost miraculous QuickneSS of thought the driver turned his horses and shoot ing right and left with his revolver de- voutly hoping some of the bullets would reach the mark he dashed to the mili- tary post, mile away, where he had just changed horses.
 This is a true story.

can tell what thoughts of home ana loved ones, and memories of boyhood and youth, filled the minds of those rough men? Quietly one of the mum Der spoke:
 See here, boys, this thing can't last; we must get out of herei"
 "Yes, but how? There are at least four hundred of those red rascals; their sentries are all around us; it would be utterly impossible for any man to get through their lines alive; and if the inn possible could be accomplished no mes senger could get to Flint, thirty miles away, and send help in time to save us."
 ''I know, 1t seems so,'' said Jack Hill, the first speaker; but it's horrible death some way. If we do nothing and only meet death, I am willing to take the desperate chances-Ill go to- night"
 So with many suggestions and much discussion, it was decided that Jack should try Gunny- sacks filled with dirt were tied upon his hands and knees, so that no noise and no track should betray him. A revolver and can teen of water and little food were disposed about his person. A few whis- pered words were spoken to his "Chum"

cried Look" They did look, to find that the valley as far as they could see seemed alive with Indians, surely drawing near to surround them, but cautiously for they had a wholesome awe of the repeating rife, which most of the white men carried.
 It doesn't take frontiersmen long. to think and to act under such circum- stances, and immediately attachments were at work, under cover of their com rades' guns, throwing up breastworks and digging rifle-pits around the spring Then a weary siege began. For five days the beleaguered camp was har- assed by the willy foe, who took few chances themselves, knowing that if they were patient, either provisions or ammunition would be exhausted. and the white men be an easy prey.
 Capt. Jenkins had been wounded and two of the men killed. They had been laid in their shallow graves, which had been dug within the fort. Again dark ness had settled around the brave but discouraged little band. In the distance they could see the camp fires of the In dians, and they seemed to realize how hopelessly they were outnumbered. The far-off stars seemed to be looking down upon them with a calm and pitt less gaze. Silence fell upon all Who

WHAT ETHEL SAW.

N NE day, as Ethel was sitting at
 the front window waiting for it to stop raining. so she could go
 out riding with her mother, she saw a little carriage, drawn by six ponies and driven by little fairy He told Ethel to get in, which she did. Tn a few moments she saw little house, from which strains of music and the merry peals of laughter were com ing. They stopped in front of the door, and the fairy jumped out and told Ethel to follow, but she said: T cannot get through that door; l am too large" The fairy handed her bot tie. from which he told her to drink She took a drink, and felt herself grow ing smaller and smaller, and at last she was small enough to go through thes door.
 When she got in the room she saw 2. merry sight, the fairies dancing, talk ing and having a very fine time. The fairy that had driven her there intro duced her to the Queen Curly and King Curly.
 The queen introduced her to many other friends, and she had very fine time.
 The band was playing the last piece: Ethel woke up and found it had stopped raining, and her mother had gone out riding and left her.

 There was something in Bradshaw's S eyes like tears. as he said this. EVl- dentIy he was touched by the kindness of the miners. They were as surprised to see him in a melting mood as they would have been to see the pine trees outside of the cabin indulge in jig.
 And now, went on Bradshaw, T want to say. Lucy and boys, that l have struck it rich, on the quiet, and I am going to do the proper and make Lucy rich"
 Struck it rich" shouted the miners. "where?"
 Tn the Hard Luck Send a com mittee if you don't believe it and I'll go along with them and make a show in"
 Harry Long and little Lucys father were made the committee. As soon as the Thanksgiving dinner was over they started upon a trip to the Hard Luck by way of the Bully Boy. When they returned to the camp, their eyes were large with wonder.
 Nothing ever seen like it." reported Harry Long. Tt is regular bonanza"
 Very we'll" said Bradshaw. little Lucy ard me are partners from now on. Half of every dollar taken out of the mine shall he hern. and I ask you all to be the witnesses to this agree ment"
 That was a happy Thanksgiving for little Lucy She was happy that she had saved Bradshaw's life; happy that now her papa would be able to live com fOrtably and that she coul have some money to send to her cousins in the East and to help poor old MT Wood man. who wished to go to his people in New York, but had no way to get there.
 She soon realized all her wishes and much more, but never lost the i1ind and loving ways that made her the pet of the whole camp. The Hard Luck mine was sold after a while for ole million dollars and one-half was given to Lit tIe IuCY."

 Now look here" he cried. T believe in fair, square dealing. and I'd like to know what you've done with that stick l gave you a minute ago. Can you throw any light on the subject?"
 Tt wasn't my fault; it was Mir. Draught's fault; it all went up in smoke"
 "Ah. see." remarked the clock; you threw too much light on the subject"
 Keep quiet cried the broom; you talk as though you had screw loose''
 Don't you worry" replied the clock ''my brains are all right, but yours are only bundle of straws."
 Look out> or I'll sweep you off the face of the earth!" exclaimed the broom.
 The clock was so infuriated by this that she struck at the broom three times, and the mistress hearing her, hurried into the room and put an end to the fuss.
 Why, Freddie!" exclaimed the mother of a precocious 5-year-old, aren't you ashamed to call auntie stupid. Go to her at once and tell her you are very sorry" "Auntie," said
