The meal was served in large bowl, and
consisted of ''sofkee," which is pounded corn
boiled with meat.
After breakfast, the old Indian sent his son
and Joe in one direction, while he and Mr..
Eckford went in another, to hunt for the hogs.
The little Indian rode behind Joe on the lat
ters mule.
The day wore on, and they must have
trayersed many miles of forest without finding
the hogs.
Joe, perceiving that it was past noon be-
gan to think of giving up the search, and re-
he had not the slightest notion of the direc-
tion or distance of the Indians house.
In this dilemma Joe knew not what to do.
However, he thought he must do something;
so he stopped and fixed the points of the com
pass in his mind, which he was enabled to
do by the position of the sun. He knew he
was not west of the Indians house, because
he had not crossed the Tallapoosa River. he
resolved to try the three other quarters;
With the sun as guide, he steered his
as he supposed, two or three miles in each
of these directions, without finding single
familiar object or any landmark to guide
him. He was indeed lost.
But though momentarily overcome by his
feelings, Joe was by no means wanting in cour-
age His dropping spirits revived, presently,
and he began again to resolve plans of extrica-
ton in his mind The Indians cabin was
on the river, and he should certainly find it
by going south or north. There was a proba-
bility too. that when they reached the river
the little Indian would know the way
As the Thought of his companion thus
crossed his mind, Joe turned and looked at
him. The little Indians countenance was ex-
pressiye of the deepest commiseration.
Joe rode up beside log and slipped off
"Get into the saddle" he said, pulling the
Indian forward.
Understanding the signs rather than his
words the Indian got into the saddle, and
Joe sprang up behind.
The Indian now seemed to comprehend what
was expected of him. He hesitated not min
nte, but turning the mule, and keeping a
Hbee- line" he soon brought Joe safely to the
old Indians house.
The other hunting party had been more
successful having found the hogs and driven
them up. The herd was now confined in "a
pen that had been hastily constructed of
Next morning Mr. Eckford selected hog,
and the Indian, jumping into the pen, caught
Il and killed it with knife. The other hogs,
frightened at the sudden onset. leaped the low
fence and scampered away into the woods
The hog was quickly butehered, and put
into two bags, Mr. Eekford carrying one, and
Joe the other.
Without further adventure our friends ar
rived at home.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-11

The blow-gun was novelty to Joe, and
the two had great sport shooting it at corn
stalk targets The little Indian was quite
skillful in its use, and by watching him Joe
soon acquired the art of shooting with toler-
able precision.
While the two boys were thus engaged a
tame deer approached the house, and the lit
tie Indian sprang at it in sport, causing it to
turn suddenly and run swiftly down the hill.
Joe's mule frightened by this performance and
broke away, but, not going far, was soon cap
tured again.
Late in the afternoon the old Indian return
ed home, accompanied by young man of his
own race, that wore his hair shaved close ex-
cept long scalp-lock.
The old Indian greeted Eclzford as friend,
ana informed him that the hogs were in the
woods, but that they could lind them ana
drive them up the next day.
The larger and more comfortable OF the
cabins was cleared for the reception OF the
nale-face guests. All the furniture was remov-
ed except a curious kind Of baby hammock or
cradle constructed OF two ropes ana pianKet
suspended from the rafters.
Clur friends were invited to enter and take
coats nm blocks Of wood that they found on
the earthen floor. The two Indian men en-
tered with them and sprawled Off on the
ground.
Mr. EcktOrd ana Joe dIe Lhelr supper OF
cold ham and bread, which they had brought
from home, the Indians looking on with EVIL
dent interest.
After cleaning ham-bonc as only hun
orv how can, Joe threw it on the ground. The
Sonnrer Indian sprang upon the bone like
half-starved hound, and for an hour or more
continued to gnaw IT..
AT length, when Mr. Eckford signifed his
wish to 20 to bed, the two Indians left the
house, Joe watched them through crack.
He LEGO could not help feeling uneasy.
When few steps from the door, the young
brave stretched himself, yawned, and then
Uttered several loud, piercing whoops, which
might have been heard mile.
Toe suspecting that this was the dread war
,vboop. and that it boded no good to himself
and COMPANION, was greatly alarmed, and in
onired OF Mr.. Eekford if he knew what it
meant
The latter answered that he supposed the
Indian was only exercising his lungs.
This allayed Joe's fears to some extent; but
he continued to watch the Indians until they
had all lain down together on bed of deer
skins under a shed on one side of the other
He remarked that they appeared Indifferent
to the fact that chickens had already gone
to roost under the same shelter.
Our friends received an invitation to break
fast with the Indians next morning, which.
TO avoid offending them, they accepted

unobstructed by underground, bore upon its
wings the delicious fragrance of wild jasmine
and honeysuckle. The grass was springing
fresh and green in broad pastures for roam
ing herds of deer. The romantic White Wa
ter, the bold Wehadkee and the winding
Courthouse whose waters are now stained yell
low with the washings of many cultivated
hills were then clear as crystal and flowed
their respective ways, without let or him
drance of dams or ditches "to join the brim-
ming river"
Somewhat after noon our travellers reached
a small Indian settlement, at which were
congregated party of braves and squaws ap-
parently admiring drove of lean, i-favored
swine in small inclosure. They tarried here
only moment, while Eckford held converse
with one of the Indians with whom he was
acquainted.
Joe understood nothing that was said,
though he strained his ears to catch every
word, and wondered and wondered at the
strangeness of the Indian tongue.
Later on as they were GsdIy quietly pursuing their
with a loud snort threw himself back on his
launches. Joe tried to urge him forward but
he stood stock STILL as il paralyzed with ter
ror.
In moment the cause of the animals af-
fright became apparent. A deer sprang from
away through the open forest. At the same
instant the sharp crack of a. rifle and slight
puff of smoke issued from behind pine tree
close at hand But the bullet, which was
intended for the deer, missed its mark and
with an exclamation of disappointment, the
Indian that had sped it on its fruitless errand
made his appearance
Mr.. Eckford interpreted what he had said
for Joe, and the latter remembers the words
to this day-but the writer hereof presumes
not to spell them.
About two hours before sunset our friends
reached the Tallapoosa River where it flowed
among conical, heavily -timbered hills and
broke into many a sparkling ripple on the
shoals
Here, on the top of high hill, overlooking
the river, they found the settlement of the
Indian who had sold the hog to Eckford
There were two log huts in small uninclos-
ed field, which. the year before, had been
planted in corn. One or two stunted peach
trees grew in front of the cabins, showing
that il was an old settlement.
The proprietor was absent from home. but
his squaw informed Mr.. Eckford that he
would soon return.
Our friends dismounted, and tied their
mules to the peach trees.
In a short while the Indians son-about
the age and size of Joe-came home, bringing
a brace Of quails and several other birds that
he had killed with a blowgun.
Indian boy, and though neither could un-
derstand a word the other said, they seemed

MEN THE year 1882 there lived in
k@l / .Troup county, Georgia, on the west
RMk4 ern bank of the Chattahoochee
iNgM90I River a wellto-do farmer named
G.sYs8j Hampton.
The country was newly settled;
the lands were extremely fertile; the forests
abounded with game and the streams with
fish.
Just over. the line, in Alabama, there were
few if any white settlers, the country being
still inhabited by Indians, who, at that time,
were on friendly terms with the whites and
disposed to adopt their mode of living
In Mr.. Hampton's neighborhood there was
a teacher named Eckford. The schoolhouse,
built of logs. was situated on a high hill in
fine natural grove not far from Mr.. Hamp-
tons house.
One day in the early spring, Mr.. Eckford
made his appearance at Mr.. Hampton's house,
and stated that, being without meat, he had
bargained with an Indian who lived over En-
Alabama for hog, and requested Mr. Hamp-
ton to lend him two mules and allow his son
Joe-a lad of thirteen-to go with him after
his purchase.
Mr.. Hampton readily consented to lend his
mules, but was reluctant to risk his son on
such an adventure.
"The Indians are so treacherous," said he.
'There is no danger at ALL" replied Mr.
Eckford Il have frequent intercourse with
the Indians, and am familiar with their lam
guage and habits"
"How far is it,"
twenty-five or thirty miles, / suppose"
"Then you will have to stay at least one
night with the Indians"
"Yes," said Mr.. Eckford, "and possibly two;
but l have often stayed with them before.
They are always kind to me-"
Here Joe Hampton, who was very eager to
go, interrupted the conversation, entreating
his father to consent.
After some deliberation Mr.. HAMPTON de-
cided to crafty his son and accommodate his
neghbor, though the latter's assurances had
not entirely dispelled his fears. He had him
self been Injured to hardships and danger
when boy, and he wished to cultivate in
his son those qualities which would fit him
for the life of pioneer But he warned him
to be on his guard while with the Indians and
to take note of any movement ON their part
that looked suspicious.
On fine spring morning Mr.. Eckford and
Joe set out. Taking westerly course they
followed an Indian trail through the deep,
primeval forests.
The country through which they passed was
wild and lonely. Not human being, nor a
house, nor a clearing Of any sort was to be
seen for miles and miles 1t was one vast, un-
broken forest unmarried by the hand of man.
Just now clothed in the verdure of early
spring.
The atmosphere was clear and pure, and
the breeze which swept through the forest.
