which auperlor

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

aavagea, everywhere auocefsful. cam

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danger, had withdrawn ovpr the river.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.

on all aldea, like a awarm of angry bees.
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

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. Robert
Browning, tells ua:
They fought the
loKt and killed
the cats,
And bit the hablee
In the cradlet,
And ste the th.esesout of the vts.
And licked the soup from the cooks owa
Split 'Spin' the kegs of salted sprats
Made n-sts inside men'a Bunday hats
And even spoiled the women s chats
riv dnwnlnif their speaking
With Rhrleklrg and Mueaklne
In fifty different aharps and flats! 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

hitched to the we goo. gad BlUy weu'd

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.

-Hut look at the dog." ald Jake.
"Hats! Take the club, go In and fetch
the boy. lon-t you see the dogi

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

Ami out of the houses the Rats came
tumbling:
Great rata, small rata, lean rats, brawny
rata.
Brown rats, black rats, grey rati, tawny

Cocking tails and pricking whiskers

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

Small feet were pattering, wooden shoes

"They never can cross It," cried the
people. "He'll have to stop piping, and

"That is bad news.- said Patrick. "If
you are bound to the fort. 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

and handed the paper to Labden

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

fields caught up hla firelock.
