How HeGuards
Were Killed
By EDWARD c. TUCKER

/ found this letter in trunk In my
garnet. containing family papers as
far back as 1901. 1t was written I'M
der date Of 1907 from Henderson coun
ty. Ky. by my grandfather. then eight
cen years of age. to his mother living
in Ohio:
Dear Mother-Since / wrote you we
have had considerable trouble with
the Indians. One morning a man
named Boone came in from the south
and said party of redskins were
coming up. burning houses by the way
and numbering the settlers We at
once set to work to inclose the house
in fort. OF course. having little time,
we couldn't build much of a protec-
ton.
All we could do was to cut down
the trees within rife shot. take the
trunks of the saplings and stand them
up in circle burying one end in the
ground. Inside we built rude plat
form, on which a man could walk
around the house and keep an eye out
for trouble.
We got the thing furnished such as
1t was-before we heard anything Of
the Indians Then one night we
heard shots to the south, lasting about
half an hour. then saw a red glare. The
Harbeson family were the only ones
living In that direction. and we reck-
oned they had been attacked. all had
ial nd bauca burned
Pretty soon we saw forms on horse
back In the dark coming to us, and
we all got ready to defend ourselves.
They came gallopiHg along straight
for us. We knew Indians didn't come
that way and held our fire. Then
we heard mans voice call out
"Friendsr' and the Harbesons came
up.
We took them in, and they told |
US they had defended their home till |
they saw they would be overpowered. |
then ran out the back door and. hid I
den by trees, reached the barn and |
got away on the horses without the |
Indians knowing it. | was mighty |
glad to see Elizabeth. who tainted
and fell in my arms as soon as she |
got inside our stockade.
We didn't see an Indian that night
or next day. but / knew the redskins
were all about us. They were watching
us from ambush. felt pretty sure they
would not attack us openly, for that's
not their way of fighting. True, we
had only nine men and two boys,
though the women were ready to do
their part. but the red devils didn't
know how many we had. and they
don't like stockades anyway.
On the second night after the Harbe-
sons came it was Jim Hawkins turn to
keep watch, while We all slept with
our rifles ready beside us. He could see
so far on all sides that an Indian
shoot him without coming
over an open space. for. as you know.
the house is on the top of hill. What
were our surprise and horror>in the
morning to find Jim's dead, body on
the platform behind the stockade. He
had been shot No one was in sight.
the only living thing we could see be
ing a bear about mile away walking .
slowly toward a clump of trees. He .
was just within range. but we didn't ,
shoot him. all our powder and ball be-
ng kept for the Indians. ,

Elizabeth had once rightly said that Mother Phi
lippa, when she chose to be gracious, looked more
than a nun. The young man, so tercely objected to
while an unknown quantity, she now readily enough
accepted as a guest for the afternoon.
When, after dinner, Sister Veronica came to tell
Elizabeth that the stranger had presented himself,
she found a very diferent-appearing young man from
the pajama-clad figure of the morning. His eyes
twinkled mischievously as he said:

Elizabeth felt uncertain of her ground. She had
her misgivings as to the questionable propriety OF
her behavior during the mornings adventure. She
had allowed herself to be carried away by her mis-
clievous impulses, and she blushed furiously as she
realized what construction her conduct might have
not "nice." This made her a little hostile toward
the stranger. for whom she cared not a jt or little
or had not until then. for it was difficult TO culti-
vate stoical indifference in the presence OF that
sparkling personality, whose eyes were soft. whose
manner and smile were alike irresistible. and whose

And very evidently he had made up his mind to have
lowed a great pother and hubbub, one OF the innum-

Father Augustin raised his hands in depreciation.

to be the unworthy instrument OF saving a life last
night" and in his usual placid, semi-vivacous man

the small ~millpond directly back Of his dwelling with
a touring car, and had been caught in the ice SO that
he had been unable to disentangle himself. and would
no doubt have persisted niserably if Father Augustin
had not found him on leaving the chapel.

questioning.
