chickens and ducks.
Then they returned in the direction from
which they had come, taking Beulah WIN
them.
1t was late at night when the party reached
a sort of camp in the woods where theiI
horses were. Here the captive girl was Of
fered some food, which she declined IN pa
thetic way that semed to touch the young In
dams heart.
Child though she was, Beulah felt that the
Indian boy was her friend; and when, at last
every Indian save him was sleeping heavlly,
she looked at him appeaingy, and held out
her hand.
He took it in his own for moment, then
stealthily led her out OF the wood anu
through the woods, and lett her upon
roadway.
He then returned to the camp, and she, with
tired, aching feet, walked in the starlight on
ward.
And now to return to the babies. They
took long, refreshing nap with the sugar
twilight that Nathan awoke, and moaned Tor
his mamma, thus arousing Jacob, who scream
ed, Justify; -,
No mamma answering, he screamed:
"Sissie Boolie! Sissie Boole!"
But there was no loving sister Beulah to
respond, and so, his anger increasing, he vent
ed it upon helpless Nathan, pinching his hot
bare feet, at which Nathan responded by
pinching his brothers. red, fat cheeks.
There was double howl then, you may
be sure; but for some reason that howl was
the sweetest music Mr.. Geortner had evel
heard, as he stood, with despairing face, gaz
inc at the charred ruins of his pleasant home
He had just returned with his boys-ex

out from the corn field, the Others following.
They searched all about the burned house Tor
some trace of the lost ones, and a faint hope
entered their hearts when Moses discovered
the hollow tree stored with their yaluabes.
;, They must have had warning that the In
dams were coming, or else those things never
would have been put here-perhaps they're

But they could not be found, so, after long
and fruitless search, the weary family resolv-

mile and a half away. There they found sym

eyes, and at early dawn he was out of doors,
and on his way back to the burned home, in
hopes of finding some trace or track that
would lead him to the lost ones.

and at noon, Just as they had given up all hope
OF ever seeing mother and Beulah," horse,
bearing two RIDERS, came tearing down the
slope, and moment afterward mother" in
her red, short gown and plaid skirt, stood be-
fore them.
What does it all mean?" she asked, with
white, set face and cleaning eyes, as she look
ed at the charred timbers of what had once
been their home. where is our daughter
Beulah? And where are our babies?"
Then came an explanation on both sides, and
tears fell like rain. Afterward, Mrs Geort-
ner mounted the horse again, and the messen-
ger from Aunt Hepsys carried her to her ba-
bies at Mrs. Aliens.
Mr.. Geortner and the boys packed up the
things from the hollow tree, and thus heavily
laden, followed her.
"Oh, Beulah! my brave, good girl" moaned
the mother, at sight of the home treasures
"She saved the babies and all our treasures;
herself she could not save"

ing little Nathan's soft hair. 81 believe we'll
see her yet"
Were Keturah's words prophetic? The DAY
passed on, a hot, sultry day, and as twilight
was deepening into night, Mrs Allen, who was
standing outside the door, suddenly startled
them all by exelaiming:
"There's a shadow over there"

shouting: "Who comes there?" while NicS
Allen seized his gun, and held it cooked as h

The average treatment of stomach trou

ment, hut in ordinary cases of stomach
troubles it is not necessary to starve OF
diet if Mi-o-na is faithfully used, tablet
before each meal.
This scientific remedy, for the cure of
stomachiroubles, acts upon the whole
digestive system, and Strengthens the or.
gans SO that they are able 10 digest any
food that is eaten without fear Of distress.
If you suffer from loss of appetite, belch-

OF the stomach, depression of spirits, bad
dreams, lack of energy, a stomach cough,

assured that these troubles are all due to
imperfect digestion.
Strengthen the stomach by taking a
Mi-o-na tablet before each meal. and
soon you will gain in weight. strength
will return, and your food will give nour
