The agricultural inclinations Of the
Indian have hitherto been but slight.
The whites" from the adjoining
States, however, have aspired to own
some of these fertile fields; but seeing
that their aspirations were futile, they
leased land at a ridiculously low fig
ure. This practice had been regular
custom for more than twenty years,
when the government finally took
charge of this matter and made up a
schedule of stipulated rental-fees per

the lease contracts and sees to 1t that

Large firms which have had a great

that the head Of the firm will know she
married John Smith in 1900. and has
been happy ever since, and also that her
name before she was married was Lucy

I and accordingly, we waited. taking turns
at the hunters terrible pipe In lieu Of sup
per, and laying our plan Of attack. This
last was simple enough, as our resources
or rather our lack OF them, would make
It. At midnight We would move upon the
, enemy. feeling our way along the river till
we should discover the ford by which the
| captive party had crossed. The stream safe
ly passed, We would deploy and surround
the camp CT the indiana. and at the signal,
which was to be the report of Yeates's
rifle. We were to close IN and smite. CIV
Ing no quarter.
The old borderer dwelt at length upon
the need for this severity. saying that a
single Cherokee escaping would bring tho
warriors Of the Erau tribe down upon us
to CUE OFF all chauce OF our retreat with
the women.
"onless I'm nightly out O. my reckoning.

Dick laughed. and. speaking for both of
us. said between his teeth that We were
not Ike to be overmerciful.
But now the old wolf OF the border gave
Us O glimpse Of an unsupported side of
him, taking Jennifer sharply to task and
reading him a homily on the sin of ven
gence for vengence's sake. In this %harangue
he evinced a most astonishing tongue grasp
Of Scripture, and for a good half-hour the
air was thick with texts. And to cap the
climax, when the sermon paused he laid
his pipe aside, DOTTED his cap. and went
upou his knees to pour forth such a militant
prayer as brought my fathers stories Of the
grim old fighting Roundheads most wildly
to mind.
Here, being as good q place as any, I may
say frankly that I never fully understood
this side Of Ephraim Yeates. Like all tho
hardy borderers. he was q fighter by in
stinct and inclination; and I can bear him
witness that when he smote the "Amale-
kites" as he would call them-redskin' or
red coat he smo.e them hip and thigh,
and was as ruthless as that British Captain
Turnbull. who slew the wounded. Yet with
al. on the very edge Of battle. or mayhap
fair In the midst Of It. he was like to fall
upon his knees to pray most fervently;
though, as I have limited. his prayers were
like his blows-ot tho biting sort. full Of
Scriptural anathema upon the enemy.
