before night, as we'll have a good
job ahead of US if we get away"
| !, About dusk they arose, ate a
hasty supper of jerked veuison and
parcned corn, placed their canoe in
readiness for hasty flight, aud with
Joe in the lead plunged into the
woods.
In an hour they arrived in sight
of the Indian camp.
The fire was lit and in the light
of it they saw the prisoner seated on
the ground. She was not tied but
two stalwart Indians were guarding
her, while two others lay some dis
tance away and the fifth was re-
plendishing the fire which sent up
shower of sparks.
They amt expecting anybody
whispered Bill, "but we'll wait un-
Til they go to sleep then you take
care of the girl while attend to TIE
guard.
The hne fire soon made the In
dams drowsy, and leaving one to
guard they were soon asleep.
Two shadows were creeping
silently into the light. The guard
who was sitting with his face to the
fire suddenly felt hand close on
his throat, knife flashed in the
light and descended on his breast
without a grown he fell over dead. ;.
Mean while Joe had aroused the
girl and they had both disappeared
in the darkness. Bill soon followed,
leaving the Indians still sleeping
soundly.
They arrived safely at the shore,
and were soon well on their way
The next night they reached the
settlements without meeting any
indians.
To say the parents were overjoyed
would be putting it mildly.

The Rescue.

A light canoe foated along the
shore OF Chequamegon bay one sui
try day In the summer of 1910. In
the canoe sat an old bronzed man
about fifty years CT age, with pad
die across his knees. He sat eagerly
gazing at the shore and OF sudden
he must have discovered the object
of his search, for with few power
full strokes of the paddle he ran the
canoe ashore and sprang out upon
the beach.
There he stood leaning upon his
rife.
He was tall man, rather slender,
but all his motions betokened
strength and decision.
He removed coon skin cap from
his head and wiped his brow with
his arm.
He had not stood there long when
the call Of a crow sounded through
the woods; this was evidently what
he was waiting for, for replacing
his cap he answered the call and
started for the place where it came
from.
Here he was met by man who
was almost counterpart of him
self, save for a large scar which
started at his temple and ran across
his cheek to his nose.
Throughout t b e country these
men were known as the 1.-TWO Muir
docks They were twins and when
thirteen years old their parents had
been massacred by Indians and they
had been carried off, they had lived
with the Indians about seven years
when they made their escape and
since then they had lived most of
the time in the woods hunting and
trapping,
A few days before this young
girl had been captured by the Chip
pewas. and as the 1.-TWO Murdocks !"
were in the settlements when it
happened they had started out on
the trail of the Indians promising
the distressed parents that they
would rescue their daughter.
The night before Bill Murdoch had
taken canoe and followed the bay
to see if the Indians had taken to
the water, while his brother Joe had
followed the land trail, ane they had
agreed to meet at this place if moth
iug prevented.
They didn't take to the water
Bill, said Joe. They are camping
back here bit; thew We got the girl
all right, but there are only five
Indians SO | don t see why we can t
make off with the girl tonight.
They don't know they are being
followed"
Only FIVE, = said Bill thoughtfulIy
"And you think we can rescue her?"
Il know we can, returned Joe.
"How far off are they?"
"About three miles.
''It's about four o'clock now"
said Bill looking at the sun, and we
might as well stay here until night,
if we can get her here we'll take the
water back to where we part I'd last
night, and I guess by that time the
Indians will have given it up as
bad job~ Get what sleep you can

hours. His roommate, Roy Sykes, went
Wednesday to his home in Windsor,
suffering from the same trouble. "A post

he did all he could for him. DR.. Lazelle

worse. Yet within three quarters Of an
hour he died. The nurse started to lift
him and the man passed away in his
arms.
AT seven o'clock the relatives of The
young man, who reside in Plainfeld,
were notified of the illness and asked
to come to Barre. a short time later
a telephone message reached them that
death had ensued. 1t was very great
shock TO them, as the first message was
the first intelligence they lad received
Of the sickness. Two brothers, Aldro
and Henry. arrived here at nine o'clock
and decided at once to have an autopsy
performed to determine the cause Be-
sides the two brothers the deceased is
survived by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Alonzo Batchelder, and sister, Alice,
all of whom reside in Plainfeld. The
deceased was 81 years Of age.
The young man came to Barre several
years ago and followed his occupation
OF plumber. He then went to Northfeld
