In numbcra than tha whites, they were nver aven weakly united, and their cowardlra waa a waaknaaa for which auperlor numbcra o o u 1 d never make up. The end of the summer of 16TS found the savages everywhere vic torious, however, and a doxen towna had been attacked and burned. while iaolated murdera without numbar had been perpetrated. , There waa no meeting the Indians fai , to face. They fought only frn ambush nd were always gone before trooj.a could be mimmonHl to the wene, and the white men were nlow In any -ae to adopt the Indian nielhoda of war fare. And o It came about that th aavagea, everywhere auocefsful. cam to despise their cluniey. awkward ene iiilea. . on tha night of May IS they cele brated a groat fpst. and afterward . Hnli to a aound slumber In their bark " lodges; all of them, that to, with the exception of Phillip, who, nuspei tlng danger, had withdrawn ovpr the river. On thla same evening a number of nol- aiera and boya gathered in Hadley v ertrcot. Prominent among the volun tcers was a lS-year-old youth, Jonathari 1 Vella. The company was under com-. ip and of Captain Turner, and the expe- dit"n upon which it was about to set forth waa a daring one. The plan waa 1o attack the Indian camp, and the In dians outnumbered them four to one: rfeaf meant death or -the captivity ar.d torture that was worse than death.

The boy Jonathan, with a party of about eighteen men, who had been some dixtance away when the retreat waa or dered.' returned haatlly to trrecr horee and found their comrades flown. Jona than aomehow kept hla aenses and found his horse. As he rode forward two In diana plunged aftir him and fired. One shot alrmk hla horse, while the other entered his thigh. Ho reeled and would have fallen to the ground had he not clutched his horse's mane. The aavagea, seeing that he was wounded, pursued him, but he leveled his gun at them and managed to hold them at bay until he had rlddm beyond th-ir reach. Aa he rode furlounly forward, how ever, he heard a piercing cry for help, and turning back, found Belding, a lad of hie own age, lying badly wounded on tfie ground. Ho made nh:ft to pull him up behind, and rode thus an beat he could un'.ll they had caught up with the advunce party, thus saving Welding's life. Panic held sway and fear was on every aide. Jet Jonathan was unwilling to denert his comrades, and searching out C'Hplalu Turner, beRRed that he halt and go hac k to their relief. 'Impossible, lud." aaid the captain. "It lb hotter to uve aome than' to lose all." ' To ndil tn the excitement and con fusion, the KuidPs became bewildered, and soon the party was split up Into tiny bands. The bund with which Jonathan found himself became tangled up in a swamp, where it wna once more attacked by the savagea. Again the bov escaped with h few oth'rs. When they found that he waa hadly wounded, they left him and rode away. Jonathan was wholly deserted. Badly wounded, completely lost, weak with hunger and surrounded by bloodthirsty savages, the boy pushed doggedly on. A nutmeg which he had in his pocket served to keep him from fainting. After he had made hla way nonie dis tance he swooned in good earnest and tumbled from his horse.' When at last he regained consciousness he found that he had kept his hold on the reins of hla horse, and that the animal was standing close beside him. Jonathan was rapidly growing weaker, however, and out of kindness loosed the horse and let him ?o. After a time lie succeeded in mak ing a fire by flashing powder in the pan of his gun. It spread among the leaves . with marvelous rapidity and severely burned his hands and face. Certain that the Indians, having seen the amoke, -would cbrfie and kill him, the lad threw away Iiik bullets and powder, keeping only enough for a single , shot. He nlo;iped up his wound as best he coujd with tow, and, completely exhausted, fell aslei p. In ihe morning he found that the bleeding had ceased and that his strength had returned In a meas ure. He slowly and painfully-waded at toss the river, leaning on hia gun, and fell exhausted on the further bank. Aji -' he lay there an Indian peddling a canoe appeared, and, putting on a bold front, the boy aimed his gun. "The savage, thinking he waa on the point of ahoot Ing, leaped into the river, leaving his ,-guii in the canoe, and ran to tell his , ' tribe that the palefacea were on , the warpath again. Jonathan, knowing that pursuit was certain, and tnat he couia only noooie at best, assured himself that there was no hope for him. Hurriedly he looked about for a hiding place, and Anally noticed tWo trees which, undermined bv the waters, had dipped forward to gether Into the -stream. A great mass of loose wood had lodged on their trunks. Jonathan stepped into the water o aa to leave no trail, and creeping between the trunks under the mass of driftwood, found at length a hole large enough to permit of Ids breathing. He had acarce time to secrete himself before the In dians appeared. They searched thor oughly, even running out upon the mat' of- drift wood -over hie head, thug eaue lng the treea to sink with their weight and thrusting hla head completely under water; but tney found no trace of him and at length geve up the hunt aa un availing. The boy gathered hlmaelf to gether and limped on, a prey to thlret -and -hunger anl so weak that he could go only a short distance without paus ing to reat. ' Luckily he saw no more of the In dian, and after three days of painful Journeying he arrived safely at Hadlev, . where people had lose; given him up 'iet Ctd, . ,',. .: LJL-I jst--js r. rn - , tmA a- h ' . t .f r a v . r - - 1111 i rv y s m ta Jake. 4e ye iklsk eef Tea keear aa a g eteja f eeaimee ate aa4 eoatj ba gfrai4 Ikal tUUy aaljM be til lea. 4 If ye are dairmtae4 te gel ea, g a iy tittle ea. e Ikal be reaaet 4e aaurk harm.

Bruno was S and. a fine, strong, large dog. Billy used to climb on htf hack and ride him all around the lawn, and the family, Ing how well they agreed, did not feel at all anxious about leaving them alone together. Mr. Henley had a dog wagon made and harneee by which Cruno was lis Dig Pied Pipetyatnetiti VERY long tima ago Indeed the town of Ilamelln was simply filled with rata. The people were almost distracted, for all of their efforts to rid themselves of the pests were un availing. Bo many rats there were that a very wise man.

I The problem grew-rorse with every passing day, and at length the,, people, could stand It no longer. .They all went to the town hall, where the mayor and all the townspeople were assembled to gether, and asked them if something couldn't be done Immediately to rid Hamelin of the torrora. The mayor sat still ior a tone puzzling bralna over what in iho world he ehould do. A knock came on the .towji-hajl door, and the "poor feJ low, glad of " the interruption, called out for the person to enter. 4 On the threshold stood the queerest looking creature he had ever .seen, dressed Irr a long coat, half red and half yellow: about hla neck a scarf of the same ' colors, -from which hung a curious-looking pipe. ' ' . The peculiar-looking person walked straight up to the mayor, and declared that he cduld draw all creatures after him by the exercise of a peculiar charm. He told them that he waa pip his hitched to the we goo. gad BlUy weu'd drtte him wiib a rej pair ef rein, and flruno would iterer go beyond a eafe trot, no natter hew much tully would urge him. One day they had pulled and tjgged at each other until Illl'y waa tired out and threw hlmaelf down on the lawn to reet. Bruno came to him and lay down also. Hilly, thinking U.at Itr-uno would make a good pillow, rested his tired heed on the dog e aide, and was soon faal asleep. Druno's eea were lii shut, and he appeared to be asleep also They made a very pretty lvlure. wiii-h many an tat wouij tike te have caught.

Jake got down from the wagon and softly opened the gate. At .the first click of the latch Hruno half opened one eye. and aa the man walked uo tha path both eyes were wide ojien. but he did not move until the man left the path and started toward Hilly. Then, up he eprang, rue nair stooo on ena. and ns known aa the Pled Piper, and that he had done wonderful things by means of his enchanted music. Having heard that the town waa overrun .with rats, he .had come to offer his eervlcee) to draw them away, never to return, in exchange for a certain sum of money to he paid him by the townafolk. The mayor and people accepted gladly delighted that aome one could help them out of their awful straits, and promised the Piper even more than he had asked for his services. Out went the Piper into the streets, and raising his wonderful pipe to hla lips, blew several clear notes. Mr. , Browning has told us Just what happened then in these words: J And the rumbling grew to ef mlgtlty grumbling f Ami out of the houses the Rats came tumbling: Great rata, small rata, lean rats, brawny rata. Brown rats, black rats, grey rati, tawny rare. Grave old plodders, gay young fritkers. Fathers, mothers, uncles, cousin. Cocking tails and pricking whiskers Families bv tens and doaena: Brothers, sisters, husbands, wlvet Followed the Piper for ail their Uveal On and on raced the rats, following the music of the Piper, until at last they. came to tha river, and unable to stop, plunged into the waters and were all drowned. Ail that waa left was one xry fat old brown one, who awam straight across and lived to tell tha wonderful tale of tha Piper'a magic. 8o relieved were the people that they caused Joy-bells to be rung all pe-er the town, and the mayor ordered that not town not so much as a rat track what of the Pied Piper? When he appeared in the market- place, asking for the money which was promised him, the mayor and his peo ple, thinking that the rats were gone for good and all and not liking the idea, of handing over so much money to the Piper, refused to pay at all. Very angry was tha Piper, and ha ; told them thai; If they -did not pay he would pipe to them In another way. But the townspeople paid no attention to his threats, bidding him do hla worst, little dreaming wjiat that worst would be. Out again Into the streets of Hamelin fared the Piper. Again raising his pipe to his Hps, he blew a few sweet notes. No sooner had they been uttered than a mighty rustling sounded from every direction. - There was a rustling that seemed like a bustling Of merry crowds Justlinc at pitching and hustling. ' . Small feet were pattering, wooden shoes clattering. Little . hands clapping and little tongues , chattering. , AnA like fowls in a. barnyard, where bar- ley is scattering. .

"They never can cross It," cried the people.

Labdenl I wish you would carry a letter to the governor." He drew from Ma pocket a folded paper and glanced over 11 hastily. I think It conveys the situation. I ask that a company of musketeers be sent to the fort at Hyram to protect this territory, and warn the governor that on.fe the savages break bounda there will be no holding them, and the coun try win be ravaged with flame and tomahawk. In conclusion, I beg him to set speedily." he finished, thoughtfully, and handed the paper to Labden It waa harvest time and the settlers, joying In the abjndance of their crops, were loth to believe that aerious dan ger waa near. Despite thla, Patrick caused the women and children every evening to be gathered tn tbo block house. The Indiana were not slow to observe thla precaution, and hastened their purpose. One glorious day, when the for eats were aglow with the red and gold of autumn, there burst from the quiet wood bands of hideously painted, yelling aavagea. Kvery settler work ing among the brown cornstsika of tha fields caught up hla firelock.
