you know me?" she screamed. and
was answered only by the mocking
silences of the woods.
Northward she struggled, driven by
her captors; and all around she saw
the Implying children of the wood.
Down to the edge OF the rivers came
the dark majesty of the forest. Be-
low struggled the green galaxy of
bush and shrub; and above, towering
beeches, clean-bOled, smooth, gray,
rearing their clouds of delicate leaf
cry; sycamores, whose massive pill
lars cleaned white through the dusky
aisles; superb cottonwoods, bearing
with proud lightness their weight of
ever-trembling leaves; colossal oaks,
like Atlas lifting up green worlds of
foliage; and, king of all, the Ameri-
can liriOdendron-the tulip tree-itS
branches a stupendous dome of males
tic beauty, over which, in May, it cast
the miraculous loneliness of its waxen
blossoms.

demon of the wood, or trembled in APP

.
Noon of the sixth day of November.
A fire of twigs filled the tepee with
ain acrid smoke and rendered the cold
but little less damp. On the pile OF
skins upon the frozen ground were
three figures, two men and a woman.
Both men wore the leathern dress
and moccasins of the Indian, but in
spite of his dress and darkly tanned
face, it could be seen that one was
white. The woman wore what had
once been a dress such as swept the
garden walks of Versailles; but it
was now no more than a torn and
muddy rag, her naked shoulders
scratched and torn by branch and
brier and blue with cold. The white
man tossed a buffalo robe toward the
girl, and motioned her to cover her
shoulders with it, leering ingratiating-
ly while the Indian scowled. His
high, swarthy cheekbOnes were
framed by braids Of coarse black hair,
plentifully smeared with bears grease
and adorned by the feathers of the
hawk and eagle; one of his eyes was
gone, the brOws contracting over a
slit that showed a blOOd-red cavity
but the other burned with a hypnotic
intensity. His heavy lips muttered an
incarnation. He was Elkskatawa, the
Prophet.
"There'll be a brick house for you

man pleasantly. with a black boy

BLIND REPAIR WATCHES BEST
Their Delicate Sense OF Touch Makes
Them Superior in This Branch
of Mechanics.

Blind people-thoSe who have been
born blind-are, as is we'll known. eX-
ceedingly clever with their fingers, but
il is not often we hear of matchmaker
who was born blind, and yet there have
been instances Of the kind.
A famous blind matchmaker lived at
Holbeach, in England. His name was
Rippin, and though completely blind
he could take to pieces and put togeth-
or again watches of most delicate con-
struction with the greatest ease and
in quicker time than most watchmak-
ers who have the advantage of good
eyesight.
On one occasion some of the tiny
wheels and screws used in his trade
were stolen from him, but the thief
was captured with the property on his
nerson. and Rippin identified it by his
delicate sense of touch. Another watch
and clockmaker brought up his blind
son TO his trade, and he proved SO
skillful that on more than one Occa-
sion he detected faults in timepieces
which other tradesmen had failed to
discover.

How to Keep Warm in Cold Bed.

Many people have to sleep in cold
rooms in winter, and some, not being
able to warm up readily after entering
the bed, lie awake a long time.

ping with sweat though the day was
chilly, and his words were hurried.
TOinette strOve in vain to catch an
English word among the torrent of
Delaware, but none came; she guessed
from the startled grunts from Elkska-
tawa and the oath that fell from Cir
tvs lips that the message was of seri-
Gus pOrtent. Girty, casting a glance
over his shoulder, saw the girls in
tense gaze fixed upon them, and
laughed sneeringly.
Here's some news fur ye-thet fine
young man of yours hes he'd his scalp
lifted, he, he, he! Some o. the young
Pottawattamies met up wi him wan
derin' long lost into the woods as eff

Toinette whitened. The braves who
had brought her into the village of the
Prophet had told Girty, doubtless.
that she had recognized the sick
man in the woods. Had another scout
ing party found Ike and killed him?
She could not know; Girty, seeing her
in triumph. The news which the run
ner had brought was that the army Of
whites was within a few miles.
The consultation between the
Prophet and the renegade went on in
cultural whispers. TOinette began to
wonder why the news of the capture
of a single white man should cause
so prolonged a discussion. Sounds
of unusual activity in the village be-
gan to reach her-a constant patter
of moccasined feet, hurrying by the
tent, the occasional wailing of a
squaw, quickly hushed by an angry
command, the barking of the NANCY
Indian dOgS-an unmiStakable restless
ness in the whole camp.
There fell on her ear the faint
sound of drums-distant, measured,
unlike the irregular beating of the
drums of the savage. Nearer and
nearer it came, steady, unmfstakable ;
and then, her heart at first refusing
to believe her ears, the shriu and
reckless music of the flies. She be-

Joy she rose to her knees. The In

sharply as she started up; and with
cruelty that stunned her, Girty
laughed in her face.

VISlOn, the TWO warriors overlook the
advance guard and disappeared from
view among the trees.
The blood pounded wildly in Da-
yid'S temples, and like q mailman he
rushed to the side of the delirious man.
'Ike!' he whispered hoarsely; "Toi-
nette didn't you see them pass?"
But Blackford only moaned pite-
Ously; and David sank to his knees,
and, as gently as woman, bathed the
parched forehead of the unconscious
man. AS he watched Blackford, SUI
perhuman force seemed dragging him
away to rush after the vanished war
party; but as often as he rose fren-
ziedly to his feet, the utter folly of
attempting Toinette'S rescue alone
pulled him down; and at last he forced
himself to turn his back on his last
hope and to bow his head to the duty
nearest at hand.
Through the long nights his lonely
vigilS were spent in brOOding over the
past. By day he secured the woods
Tor food, finding a wealth of purple
clusters of the wild fox-grape, Wits
labruSca, the muScadine; sometimes,
seeing the busy cloud of wild bees
swarming high overhead, he smeared
his face and hands with wet clay,
climbed laboriously to their strong
hold, and rified their rich masses Of
dripping honey; sometimes finding a
store of nuts, forgotten by the chat
tering squirrels; sometimes succeed
ing in bringing down a black grouse
as it drummed and strutted on a res
onant log. Thus eking out their scanty
store of dried venison, he kept life in
Blackford's body through twelve days
of agOnized watching.
And at last the fever and the stab
bling pain in Ike'S side vanished under
the healing of the forest.
There came a day when David,
gaunt and weak from starvation, bent
over Ike and felt the hot tears yelling
up unconsciously; and even as he
watched, Ike's eyes opened and looked
up at him with all delirium gone.
"Hello, David" he said weakly, "is
the rain over"
Eyes," was the joyous answer,
thank God. the rains over nOw!"
Ike lay for while in silence before
he spoke again:
"Time we're going on, isn't it?" He
tried to rise. "Why, what makes me
so weak David?"
you've been sick a long while, son !;
easy now, eaSy!"
The tale of his long delirium was
one which Ike heard in wonder. His
sickness had left him like little child,
and he cried in sheer gratitude as he
realized what David had done for
him. David saw that Ike remembered
nothing of the passage of the war
party; and he said nothing Of it to
Ike, fearing that Blackford would
blame himself for Toinette's loss.
They agreed, with hearts inexpress-
IDLY heavy, that the delay had driven
the last CLEAN Of hope from the pur-
suit; and as soon as Ike was able to
stand they began again to seek the
river to the west. Onward they
pressed, with infinite toll, Ike'S hand
clinging to Davids shoulder.

ward journey they had traversed five
miles only. They had reached place
where the forest grew thinner and the
long rushes rose above their heads

AS the end of the hurrying file of

stole back toward the glade where Ike
lay. He had gone but three miles
on his quest for help when his anxiety
for Ike's safety had overcome him and
he turned back. He had nearly reached
the spot when he caught sight of the
last two warriors OF the party, and
Toinette between them; and even as

wedding will take place at o'clock
next Saturday evening, Feb. 10, at the
palatial home of Drs. Fanny and Olaf
Anderson, aunt and uncle of the bride
elect at 100 Groveland avenue, Mime
apolis. An interesting fact in connec-
tion with this nuptial event is that
whenever one of their nieces weds, Dr.
Fanny Anderson, who Is very promi-
nent Minneapolis physician, and her
brother, DR.. Olaf Anderson, give the
wedding. It is assumed that 1t will be
large and very elaborate affair. as
was the wedding of cousin of Miss
Anderson last summer.
The Anderson brothers, Lars. August
and John, some years ago conducted q
large foundry in Moorhead, where the
families were very prominent residents,
and from there the Lars Anderson fam
lily moved to- Crookston, where the
bride-elect finished her high school
work. Later she returned to Moorhead,
and was graduated from the Morhead
Normal school, after which she taught
in Crookston for several years. For the
past two years she has taught in Red
Wing, Mimi, where her future home is
to be, and where both she and Mr..
Hempstling have a host of warm
