Another child was placed under one

he raised his gun and fired at one Of
the kettles. But nothing came of it,
The shot did not harm the children I'M

the children and made them cry the
louder and louder and scream as
though thay were frantic. Ugh" said
the Indian. Him no goot"
''The kettles were all alive now, NOV
ing and echOing. He was more puzzled
than before. What kind of creatures
could these be with great brass back
and living paws and full of unheard of
noises like those? Ugh, ugh" said he
just like that. The kettles kept moving
and sounding, and the Indian grew
more and more excited as he watched
them. Suddenly he threw UP his great
arms and turned his back, and Now

"And the maid opened the stair door

''She drew quickly back and waited
for the family to return. The children
continued to cry. But they were safe.
AS they could not overturn the kettles
and bullets could not reach them The
family came in an hour in great alarm.
They had seen human blood in the
road, but no Indian.

There was something pathetic and
yet beautifully prophetic in the contin-
uance. The slanting sun shone through
the old window, and the chippering OF
birds was heard in the fields.
Uncle Zebedee never did tell the
story again. The final conjunction of
his long. peaceful life came soon after
he told the tale to me. The viOlets and
MOSES cover him in the old Dorches-

were many such houses in the old col
