Hutter. the only settler on the lake,
knew the red mems ways, and had
built his house on piles, quarter of
mile from shore. With him lived
his daughters, Judith, handsome ard
tlirtatious, and Hetty, a young wom-
an with the mind of a child. Hurry
Harry, a handsome giant of the
woods, had been one of Judith's many
wooers.
Floating Tom had another home,
the arc, crude houseboat propelled
by sweeps and a sail. Here the hunt
tiers fourd him. AS the ark passed
on overhanging sapling, warriors, be-
daubed by war paint, leaped for the
roof. They fell into the lake, but
yells and pattering bullets from shore
told that they were out in force.
Hutter was a hardy fighter; Hurry
had the strength of ten ordinary men,
and Natty Bumppo had WOE his name
of Deerslayer because of his unerring
aim with the rifle. They might have
withstood a siege of weeks. But Hut
ter and Harry, tempted by the bounty
for scalps, determined to raid the
Indian encampment, where they ex-
pected to find only squaWs and chill
dren. Deerslayer refused to joir, this
coWardly warfare. But warriors were
in the tents and the raiders were
captured. Deerslayer, now the sole
reliance of the girls in Hutter's lake
girdled house, could not attempt their
rescue.
His simple honesty and his mod
esty made q profound impression
upon Judith, who had hitherto listen
ed too Willingly to the honeyed word
of English officers. Her arts were
forgotten in the presence of this
naive woodsman who was blind to
feminine wiles.
Although the Indians had no ca
noes, Deerslayer knew that they
could quickly make RATS, ard he
was glad enough that he had agreed
to meet at the lake that night his
dearest friend, the young Delaware
warrior, Big Serpent. At sunset he
Unanswered the ark near the rendez-
vous and Big Serpent 1eaped aboard.
The bank resounded with exultant
yells, ard a score of savages splashed

water. Hist threw him a rope, which
| he clutched with hands and teeth,
the bullets of the outwitted Indians
fell short, and Big Serpent pulled
! the exhausted giant on board The
Hurons left the house, and when
Judith reached it her father was dy-
! ing. He had been scalped while still
alive.
The two men were soon rejoined
by Deerslayer, who had accepted a
| furlough, promising to return at noon
the next day if Hist and Judith re-
fused to become Huron squaws. To
Hurry's disgust, Deerslayer an
nounced that he intended to keep his
pledge. 1t meant death by torture
and Hurry could not understand how
honor could drive man insane. The
giant left the lax stealthily that
night, but promised to guide back a
company of soldiers.
Judith, having dismissed Hurry
forever, tried to tell Deerslayer that
she loved him. But the hunter was
so humble and Judith so beautiful
that he would not understand. He
knew, moreover, that Judith had not
always resisted the caresses of an
English officer.
The sun was directly overhead
Deerslayer STROBE back into the
Huron encampment He hauEhtilv
refused to save his life by wedding
the widow of warrior he had shot,
whereupon her brother hurled a
tomahawk at the captive. DeersIay-
er's hand shot up and caught the
weapon as it flew. An instant later
it drove back and struck his foe be-
tween the eyes.
1t gave him his opportunity to es-
cape. AS the Indians ran to the
dead mans side, he burst away with
the speed of a deer. Behind him he
heard the savage yells of his pur-
suers. Bullets Whistled past, but he
ran on untouched. At the edge of a
gully, he leaped upon a fallen tree,
shouted as if gloating over a free
trail ahead, and then crept beneath
the tree. His foes jumped upon it as
they bounded along, but one after
one they raced into the gully. Deer
slayer doubled back, reached the
lake and threw himself into canoe.
The paddles were gone and he had
TO drift. lying fiat in the bottom.
Bullets cut the sides, making peep
noes. Just as he thought himself
safely away, the tickle wind changed
and he was driven back, again a
prisoner.
The Hurons were now enraged.
They bound him, and the young war
riors flung tomahawks at him, try
ing to see how close they could come.
This was but preparatory to the tor
lures. Then Judith, desperate in her
love, stalked out of the trees to save
him. Her impassioned words had no
effect and the fires were kindled at
his feet. Hetty leaped forward and
stamped out the flames. Then Big
Serpent bounded forth and with a
rapid thrust cut Deerslayer loose. In
his hands were two rifles, and for
a moment the Hurons were dismay-
ed. The warrior who had hoped to
wed Hist hurled his knife at his
rival, but Hist struck up his hand
and he fell, Big Serpent's knife
quivering in his breast. The redmen
scattered for their guns, but now a
ttY'-7'rin~ was heard. Redcoats ap-
peared among the trees, led by Hur-
ry Deerslayers rifle cracked and
two Hurons fell. The rest, cut oft
from escape, were butchered or made
prisoners.
Hetty was mortally wounded but

into the water. Deerslayer and Big
Serpent bent to the sweeps and foiled
them. Big Serpent's hatred of the
Hurons was white hot, for they were
Carrying into captivity his betrothed,
the lissome Hist-oh-Hist.
It was simple-minded Hetty who
first went to the rescue of Hutter
and Hurry. She believed that read
ing her Bible to these savages would
soften their hearts. She was allow
ed to converse freely with the cap
tives, for the Indians had a supersti-
tious belief that the gods spoke
through those whose wits were weak
Her pleading words, however, fell
upon deaf ears. Deerslayer, with
keener knowledge of Indian charac-
ter, ransomed Hutter and Hurry with
some ivory chessmen that the red
men deemed idols.
While the released captives slept
and the girls watched, Deerslayer
and Big Serpent padded away to
rescue Hist-oh-Hist, who had sent
word by Hetty that she would be on
conspicuous point of land when a
bright star came out over a hilltop.
The star came out, but Hist did not
appear. The Delaware and his pale
face comrade crept noiseIessly to a
ridge where they could overlook the
encampment Big Serpent chfrruped
like squirrel and Hist, guarded by
ar old bag, was so suddenly silent
that they knew she understood.
At last the two women passed
them. Big Serpent dragged his be-
loved toward the canoe; Deerslayer
clutched the old woman, but her
screams alarmed the camp. He ran
for the canoe, but as he pushed it
off, an Indian landed squarely upon
his back. Deerslayer thought not of
himself, but gave the canoe so pow
erful shove that it glided q hum
dred feet away. He tumbled into the
lake, arose with his assailant, and
they foundered in breast-high water.
He was quickly surrounded, so he
surrendered quietly.
Morning came and the Ark was
swept toward the house. The keen
eyes of Hist detected a moccasin
floating against a pile and Big Ser
pent was sure the Hurons were with
in. Hurry and Hutter laughed at
him and clambered inside through a
trap-door. Hardly were they within
before there was a heavy fall. To
the sharp ears of Big Serpent the
whole house seemed alive. Now and
then an Indian yell sounded or a
deep below from Hurry.
Big Serpent dared not desert the
three girls. Suddenly the door burst
jopen and Hurry came raging forth
upon the small platform. He stood
painting, cycling his enemies. Then
he seized one brave by the waist
and flung him far into the lake; two
others quickly followed. Four were
left. They were without arms and
had little desire to close with this
demon. He kicked one into the
water, he doubled up another by a
prod1gious blow. The, bigger of the
two remaining closed with his white
foe. They wrestled f1ercely upon the
narrow platform. Then Hurry raised
the redman high above his head
hurled him down and fell heavily
upon him. But at that moment of
conquest his arms were bound from
behind. The Indians whom he had
flung into the lake had scrambled
out in time to pinion him.
AS the Ark drifted past, Hist cried
out to Hurry to roll off. He obeyed
and fell with a great splash into the

PENNINGTON COUNTY MAY
BUILD A NEW COURT HOUSE

For some time past there has
been considerable talk in Penning-
ton county concerning the con-
struction of new court house.
The present court house was built
many years ago, and is no longer
in good condition. That all the
the agitation is not confined to
Rapid City is evident from the fol-
lowing extract from the latest is
sue Of the Wasta Gazette:
"The Gazette wonders whether
the new court house proposition
has again gone to sleep at the
county seat. Something ought to
be done. Some one onght to take
the initiative and circulate a petit
tion asking the county commits
sioners to call an election so that
the voters of the county may ex-
press themselves on the subject.
The old court house has long since
outlived it's day Of usefulness. 1t
is too small for the work at hand
and its vaults, with the crumbling
condition of the walls, are no longer
considered fire proof. Can anyone
imagine the amost HOPELESS confu-
sion of titles and the chaotic state
the real estate market of the coun-
ty would be in for years if a fire
destroyed the records. Penning-
ton county is big county and
rich county, as compared with 9TH
ers in the state, and its court
house ought to give it's residents
a feeling of pride rather than a
necessity for apologies"
