across Putnam, and Indians slept on the ends
of the poles, that any stir made in an effort
to escape might be detected.
Such were some of the trials endured by
men who were our ancestors.
The wolf-hunter went back to his Connect
cut home as colonel.
In the spring of 17I5 Yankee blood was
spilled at Lexington and Concord by the
British. The news flew everywhere, and fall
ing like a spark upon combustible people,
it ignited them into blaze of indignation.
Putnam heard of it when plowing. Said
his son Daniel, who was driving the team:
He loitered not, but left me, the driver of
his team, to unyoke it in the furrow, and not
many days after, to follow him to camp"
Rousing the militia officers in the neighhor-
hood, he returned to find hundreds who had
gathered and made him leader. Ordering them
to follow, he sprang away on horseback,
changing not the checked shirt he had worn
in the field, and pushed on for Cambridge,
Mass.
The old wolf-hunter was now within three
years of sixty; but he kept that horse spring
quick alarm through the darkness, and by
sunrise Cambridge was reached. In eighteen
hours he had ridden the same horse a hun
dred miles. The day he reached Cambridge
And we should say, also, splendid horse!
1t was on the 18th of June, as every school
boy knows, that the battle of Bunker Hill was
fought. Putnam was there; and not only
t1ere, DuC Wnen Jne Americans fetreaCed he
did not wish to go. He wanted to attack the
wolf again, same as in the Pomfret den. He
had that opportunity, though, in subsequent
battles, and his position in the war was
prominent one-that of general. He did not
disgrace his rank.
General Putnam comes before the readers
of American history in one other exploit that
has made his name famous He was out with
a reconnoitering party in the town of Green
wich Conn, when he was met by superior
British force.
Putnam was on horseback. He told his
men to retire to a swamp, where the British
dragons could not follow; but what would
the Yankee horseman do?
Near by was a, sharp. rocky descent, steps
having been put there for foot-climbers Down
the steep rode the old wolf-hunter, to s.ne as.
Constituent of the British, who watched, but
in the shape of .whistling bullets, one of
which went through Putnam's hat.
The old generals reply. to this leaden ipyi.
tation to stop was To- ride on, pick up some
militia, join them to his own men, and then
chase the British, capturing fifty OF John.

Gaping these, then commenced the fearful de
scent of the boat, Putnam sitting ca lmly. at
the helm and steering. Whirling, shooting,
rising, plunging, the boat had wonderful
passage, the Indians watching it in awe, and
considering Putnam favored being, so that
it would be an insult to the Great Spirit to
attempt again to shoot him.
1t was pity that Putnam did not fall into
the hands of these Indians, rather than those
who captured him, for the former, recognizing
a brave foe, would not have treated him so
mercilessly
This capture was in the month of August
There was hot, hard fighting the day Putnam
was taken by the enemy. The brave officer
was confronted by a savage, but Putnam S
fusee missed fire when aimed at the foe. The
savage thus became master OF defenseless
man. and. stTapping Putnam to a tree, went
into the fight again. Putnams tree be-
tween the two contending forces, and more
than one ball was planted in the tree, while
several tore through the skirts and sleeves of
his coat.

fire.
Putnam demonstrated, claiming the treat
ment due captive; but this was met with a

on the cheek from the butt-end.
The enemy were whipped, but retreatng,
took Putnam with them. His hands tightly
corded together, and with various packs piled
on his back, he was forced barefooted to walk
many weary miles over rough, hilly coun-
try. At night, the Indians resolved to burn
him alive. He was tied to a tree. Then the
wood was heaped about him, the Indians
shouting and singing in a ferocious frenzy.
The brave old wof-hunter did not finch,
The wood was kindled, but sudden rain
put out the fire. 1t was started once more,
and round the tree swept the flames like the

blazing wood, severed the fastenings OF the
brave prisoner, and Putnam was released. His
reseuer was French officer.
Putnam, though. was not allowed an easy
bed after these sufferings. His Indian captoI

hands to two trees. and then poles were laid

savage creature after another had
had his accounts squared up with shot and
ball, but this survivor showed great nn-
willingness to meet that final settlement. She
would tear the sheep, spring on the hens, and
make short work of the kids
Little fellows would go into the pasture
after the COW, and with big eyes come hurry,
ing home in dread of meeting that old wolf,
In warm weather she would tramp northward,
but when the red leaves rllstled down through
the forests, she was sure to be found back in
the town of Pomfret, snug and warm in her
old den. No, she was not found. That was
the trouble. Her young family would be
taken but the rascally mother would contrive
TO get the better of men and dogs.
One night she made mistake. She put
her nose into the sheep-fold of the wrong
farmer. About seventy of the flock lay dead
after her visitation, and it so aroused the
owner that he made an agreement with five
neighbors to hunt by turns for the pest until
she was killed.
The farmer was young man, born in Dan
vers, Mass, January I, 171S. He was a
plucky fellow, full of courage, knowing how
to handle a gun. and was at home on the
back of a horse.
One winter day, when light snowfall had
powdered the earth, the old VOLTS tracks
were plainly seen, and at once were followed
She was tracked to her den and the news
quickly brought curious people to the spot.
There was the grim doorway OF the old
eneiny-a gap in the rocks on a hillsIope-a
black hole that led down to snug and shell
tered quarters. Madam Wolf was invited to
come out. Dogs took in the invitation but
they were glad enough to back out Straw
was burned at her doorway, and birthstone
free of expense to her was added; but it was
all in vain. Finally young Putnam appeared.
He resolved to take personal invitation to
her. lie threw off coat and vest, put into
the hands of his neghbors one end of a rope
that he had tied about his body, and, with a
flaming torch in his hand, started to make a

made his way, going on all fours-and there

Untold Suffering and Constant
Misery-AwuI Sight From that
Dreadful Complaint, lnfanti|e E.
zema-Commenced at Top Of his
Head and Covered Entire Body.
MOTHER PRAISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Our baby had that dreadful COM
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top of his head, and at last covering
his whole body. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, in TACT,
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable of coping with the case, and
after various experiments of his, which
resulted in no benefit to the child, we
sent to Macon, ILL.,, to druggist and got
a full set of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
to improve Immediately, and in about
three or four days began to show q
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in year. In about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception of a rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by healthy one.
"Praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they Ger
tainly saved our baby's life, for he was
the most awful sight that ever beheld,
prior to the treatment of the Cuticura
Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1926
