Senator JOHN C. Spooner of Wiscon-
sin when young man was attorney
for two men charged with stealing.
There had been taken from the men a
well worn Bible and a small drawer.
On the fly leaf of the Bible was the in
scripton, ITO My Darling Boy, From
Mother"
The trial was held the next day. and
the future senator made a brilliant
speech to the jury. He exhibited the
Bible and pointed to the inscription,
and without leaving their seats the
Jury returned verdict of Not guilty"
After the trial the young men gave
the lawyer $50
Boys" said Mr.. Spooner as they
were about to separate, 81 am curious

listened with establishment to the his

The future senator con1scated the
Bible and the drawer.
One of the thieves shouted angrily,

Several years passed, and then the
incident was brought back to Mr..
Spooners recollection In the following
manner: One evening he and his family
attended an entertainment, and no one
was left at the house. When they re-
turned at late hour, they found that
the house had been entered by bur
glars and ransacked, but that nothing
apparently was missing. The next
days mail brought a letter which read:

her all that had transpired at the fort
after the discovery that the Indians
had carried her away. The affectionate
girl gave him hug that almost lifted
him from the saddle and lovingly said:
"Oh! you dear, brave, noble fellow.
Perhaps your action in coming upon such
a perlous mission to rescue his daugh-
ter may have great weight in breaking
down papa's prejudice, and when he
realizes that it was you who restored
me to his arms he may look upon you
with favor and no longer oppose our
hearts fondest desires"
THAT has been the uppermost sub
lect of my thoughts during the entire
trip, and pray God that it may be as
we hope"
Happening to cast his eyes back over
his shoulder his heart ceased for
a moment to beat and his blood ran
cold in his veins.
A band of mounted Indians came
sweeping down the bluff but half a
mile behind them.

striking the spurs deeply into the sides
of the horse. "Cling closely, my loved
one, for it will now be a desperate ride
for life"
"May God in Heaven protect us" she
murmured, as the fierce yells Of the
pursuing Indians reached their ears,
The noble horse heard the savage
cries of the pursuers, and seemed TO
realize the great danger that threat

to him several forms lying wrapped in

softly toward where three forms were
lying under the same blanket, he
again crouched down and waited for
the fitful torches of heaven to further
guide him. The rain beat with a low.
sullen roar on the lodge of skins, and
the ground trembled as the thunders
beloved their way through the
heavens overhead.
1t seemed an age ere the lightning
again lit up the rain-soaked earth and
created n sickly glare within the lodge,
but by the dim light he saw the pale
face of his love. She had raised her
head from its pillow of skins, and the

"Your absence may not be discov-

even should you be missed tonight,
they could not discover our trail in the
darkness. Even now | am depending
entirely on the instinct of the horse to
keep our direction, for not a landmark

But they will know that my rescusr

fort, and should | bc missed in the
night would they not at once come in

"You are right. Alice | had not

ing tone, he added: But do not feel
the least fear, dear one. for we are
mounted on magnificent horse, and
he is making splendid progress. We
will surely reach the river by day

not go far without some sign to show
them that they were on our trail. Rest

The clouds were indeed passing
