"What ahall I do altnut your own horiHM, algnorV lopci nkel. Mr. Hardy thought a moinent. "I think ymt had better aend them down to the inrlimire with the other; they might be Irlveii off If they are left up here, and 1 do not aee that we can require them." "Hut what about the cattle, papa?" Charley aaked. "It would be a action o If they were driven off, capeclally tho milch row. If you like, I will go down with Terence, nnd we can take up our klntliiti among Ihem. ll would be a alroiig Ht, for tho Indian could not attack u mi horaeback; and with my carbine and Terence' gun, nml n bratti of revolver. I think we could beat them off eaally enough, eapts-inlly aa ou would cover ua with your gun." "I had thought of Hint plaa, Charley; but It would be dangeroua, ami would enme ii up hero great anxiety. I Imag ine, too, that aa no doubt their great ob ject I vengeance, they will attack ua li'rat here, or they may make nn effort iiIkiii the ratlin at the aame tlitfti that they attack here. They will not begin with the animal. They will llml It a very dlltlcult Limine to break down the fence, which they mint do to drive Ihem out; and while they are altotit It wo ahall not bo Idle, depend upon It." Tho preparation wero aoon made. At about 10 o'clock thera wa a tharp bark from ono of the dog faatcnrd up by the fold, followed up by a general barking of all the dog on tlio eitabliau luelil. "There they are," Mr. Hardy anld. "Charley, bring the uiaatlff Itnl.le and order them ami the retriever, too, to bo quiet. o do not want any nolle up here, to tell the Indian that we aro ou tho watch. Now, I-'ltigernld, you go to tlio aentriea behind tho hoiiae, and I will go to thoac III front, to tell them to fall back at once." Till mlaalon wai, however, unneeca anry, for tho eight peon nil arrived In A uiluuto or two, having tied from tholr poata at tho first barking of tho dog, and without obeying their order to ami. I nrouud to each other to giro notice of their retreat. Mr. Hardy wa very angry with them, hut they wero In aucu abject fear of tho Indian that they paid llttlo heed to their manter'a word, but went and huddled themielve together upon ttio itrnw In tho titling room, remaining there with out movement until it waa all over. Ter ence wa Inow rivalled from the gate, which had been hi pout. "Did you hear anything, Terence?" "Yea, air a dull aound llko a lot of hone galloping In the dlitance, I ahould ay that there were a great many of them. It leemed to get a llttlo louder, and thou It atopped." "That waa liefore the dog began to bark, Torencor "About liv minutes before, your hon or." "Ye. I have no doubt Hint they all dlaiuountcd to liuiko tho attack on foot. How quiet everything Is." Mr, Hardy nnd tho boy took tholr plnco ou the tower, from which they com manded tho whole garden, They hud tho long rllle, (ho carblnca und four revolv er. Mra, Hardy nnd tho girl took their placo lu tho upper room of the tower, whero there wua a light, Their rltlea were ready lu caao of necessity, but their principal duty was to loud tho npnru chamber of the carbines and pistols aa fast as they wero emptied, tho agree ment being that tho glrla ahould go up by turn to tuko the loaded ones nuil bring down tho empties. HaraVa place was her kitchen, whero alio could hear ull that wua going on below, nnd she wna to call up tho ladder in caso aid waa re quired. And so,' nil being In readluea. they calmly nwalto'd tho attack, OHAITMK XII. For nearly half an hour the occupanta of the tower remained without htarlug tho smallest aound. Then there was alight, Jarring nolao. "They nro getting over thn fence," Mr, llnfdy whispered, "Co down now livery ono to hi ntntlnn. Keep tho dog quiet, and mind, let no oii0 r until 1 give thu algnal," Over ami over again the clinking nolo wn repented, Cautious a tho Indian were, It wn lmpolblo even for them to get over that atrnngo mid dllllcult ob stacle without touching the wlro with their arm. Occasionally Mr. Hardy nml the Ixiya fancied Hint they could aee dark object a- ntcaililg townrd tin. houao through the gloom; olhvrwlao all wa atlll. "Hoy," Mr. Hardy said, "I have changed my mind. There will be num ber nt the door and window, whom wo cannot get nt from here. Ktenl quietly! dowutiilr, and take your poaltlou each nt a window. Then, when tho signal 1 given, fire both your rvrolvers. Don't throw away a shot. Darken nil thirooma except (ho kitchen. You will sen liettvr to tnke aim through the lonpholra; It will be quite light outlde. When you have emptied your revolver, coino ntralght up here, leaving them for the girl to lon,d u you pa," Without a word tho boy slipped away. Mr. Ilnnly then placed on u round shelf nulled to tho flagstaff, at about eight feet from tho ground, a blua light, fitted into a Moeket on tho shelf, Tho helf wa made Just no largo that It threw a shad ow over the top of the lower, no that thnae standing there were in comparative durkue4, whllo everything around was In bright light. There, with n match lu hi hand to light the blua light, bo await ol tho alcnal. It wa a long time coming so long that thn pause grew painful, and everyone In the home longed for the bnrallng of thn coming storm, At last It came. A wild, long, snvau yell from hundreds of throala roo on tho atlll night nlr, nml, confident a they were in their position, there wa not one of the garrison but felt hU blood grow eold at the appalling ferocity of the rry. Klmiiltaneously thera wn a tremendous ruah at the doors and windows, which tried the strength of frame and bar. Then', aa they stood ftnn. came a rain of blows with hatchet and tomahawk. Then catna a momentary panae of as tonlahment. The weapon, inatead of splintering th wood, merely made deep dent, or glided off hannleaaly. Then thu blow redoubled, and then a blight light suddenly lit up the whole icene. Aa It did so, from errry loo;. hole a stream of fire poured out, repeated again and again. The gun, heavily loaded with buckbot. told with terrlMe effect upoi th crowded mas of Indian around tho windows. nnd tho 1ichnrge of the four barrel from eoch of the three windows of the room at the back of the house, by Kit a gernld, !,oper. and Terence, for awhile cleared the aaaallanta from that quarter. After tho first yell of astonishment and rage, a perfect quiet succeeded to the din which had raged there, broken only by the ring of the ramrods, as tho three men and their assistants hastily reloaded their guns, and then hurried to the front of the home, where their presence was ur gently required. There was a lull so profound after the discharge of the last barrels of th loya rerolvera a to be almost startling. Iluu nlng upstairs, they titled fresh chamU'r to their weapon, left the empty one with their alstera, and jnlut-d their fattier, "That's right, toy; the attack 1 beat en off far tho preaent. Now take your carbine. Thero I band of Indian down by the animal. I heard their war whoops when the otbera Ix-gan. but the light hardly rearhra o far. Now look out, I am going to send up a rockat over them. Toe cows are the mot Important; so, Charley, you direct all your shots at any party there. Hubert, divide your among the rest." In another moment the teckct tlew up Into the nlr, and as tho bright light burst out a group of Indiana could be seen nt the gateway of each of tho enclosures. A the brilliant light broke over them they scattered with a cry of astonish ment. Hefore the light faded tho twelve barrels had bvva Urtsl among them. Am tho rocket burst Mr. Ilnnly had gaxod eagerly over tho country, and fan cied that he could see a dark inasa at a distance of half a mile. This ho guvsied to be tho Indian' horses. Ily thla tlmo the bluo light waa burning low, nud Mr. Hardy, stretching hla baud up, lit up another at Ua blaxe, and plant rd tho fresh one down upon it. Aa ho did so a whlxxlng of numerous arrowa showed that they were watched. Ono went through his coat, fortunately with out touching him; another went right through his arm, and a third laid Char ley's cheek open from tho Up to tho ear. "Keep your heads below the wall, boys," their father shouted. "Are you hurt, Charley T" "Not aerlously, papa, but It hurta aw fully;" aud Charley stamped with rage nud palu. "What hns become of tho Indians nrouud tho house?" Hubert asked. "They arc innkiug no fresh nttnek." "No." Mr. llanly salds "they havo had enough of ll. They aro only 'wondering how they are to get away. You seo the fence 1 exjiosed all rouml to our tire, for tho tree don't go wlthlu twenty yarda of It. They are neither In front nor behind tlio house, for it I pretty open lu both directions, and wo ahould see them. They nre not at this aide of the house, so they must bo standing closo to tho wall be tween tho windows, and must bo crowd ed among tho trees and shrubs at th other end.
