Then begun the phase of warfare I had been dreading, the lending of Are-arrows. None bit the roof; and while they were prepar ing more Ore I ruahed forth and (lu Ulied (ins aide of the roof. The girl scolded ma o If I had been a wayward child. Her gruvlty and crlouuieae became her prettily. The little lecture wns Interrupted by un other flight of burning arrowa 'lids time they bad the range and we heard two strike ou the fool. Ilefore I knew what she was doing the bud stepped out to observe bow tier scheme win working. I followed and picked ber up and carried her Inalde. "Anyway, mister, there ain't any er rors on the roof," she told me aa I stood ber on ber feet "Points couldut git any hold 00 them skins uit slithered off," Between volleys was the golden time for work. I brcgrd her to keep under cover and went to fltilah patch ing tho aouth ild. This time the foe win awaiting my appearance and de livered crushing volley the moment I cleurtHl the d ir. Koine of (lie lend whlilled unwholesoiuely che. A voice shouted loudly and tea li.dlitna, select ed for their Uimens of fmt, come raring arroaa the opening. It wae grimly alKUlfleunt Hint they were armed with a no a only. They were de termined to bring the flglit to cl quarters. I entered tin cabin is the girl beg"n firing from the rear loop hole. "Here they come from all direc tional They tneun It this lliuei" alie cried. The attack wus perflated ii( ontll one brave was backing the dixit wltb bli ax. It la peculiar fact thut wltb them at auch clone auartere none of their number was mortally wounded. Douhtleia we were nervous and a bit confuaed by the attuck being presaed on three aides while some of them equally climbed on to the root and dlatodgedi some of ihe skins. I have no cleur recollection of details. I know we durted from side to side and illai homed the two rifles snd the mus kets. The room was thick w ltb smoke and I recall tuy fear lest those on the root should make an opening and Jump down upon us. It waa Dot until they begun to full bock that I discovered the girl bad been more calm tliun U for she bnd re fused to dlschurge ber (datol. I peered from a loophole snd saw them running for the woods and not a wen pou la the cabin was loaded. One ul their outuber bad been bit In the foot and waa limping along wltb two men helping bltu. I'robuhly he bad been lilt while climbing onto the roof, hla fool coming tn range wltb one ot the loopholes as a niurket wus dis charged. I loaded rnpldly to gi-t one of the three men inuklng off together, but the moment I opened the door a warning was shouted from the lender In the woods and the wounded man waa dropped In a little hollow. Ills anditnnta raced off In different di rections. The hollow coulalnlng the wounded mno wus too slight effec tually to protect liltn, and opening the door eullU'tctitly to accommodate my rlfltt-hurrel I would huve stirred hint up bad not the girl thrust ber hand over the flint and at the same time pulled me backward, I opened my mouth to rebuke her, but she clnpid hand over niy mouth and pointed toward (lit room. Then pulling my ear down to her Hps ahe whlaperod: 'They didn't all quit the roof, mister. I heard 1 little noise np there." I oodded and gently closed the door and barred It and cocked my ear. Blie nudged me as the man on the roof made falut scraping sound. This was danger I had never count ed upon To get at the fellow neces sitated my loving the cabin, we begnn talking to allay any simpletons on his part, and (he girl said: "He's moving along to git directly over the door. We must fool him" lUiMIng her to move about at th rear of th cnhln and to keep on talking, I atepped to the door and In the notches cut In the logs, so that one might climb to s crevice under tli eaves and scrutinize the opeuMii berore opening the door, gently placed niy feet and pulled myself np until my eyes were at the crevice. My head was close to the roof and aa the girl chattered along I heard the telltale sound of the savnge working his way down to the eaves and directly over the door. As I was about to descend, I was further rewarded, for a moccuslned foot dropped down across my narrow range of vision. The Itnlluu wus sit Jab ad ting with one foot hanging down from the eaves and wultlng for me to leave the ruhln, when be would drop down ufHin me. The roof was formed of siipllng-slze pole covered with Inrye sections of thick bark, which In turn was held In place by poles running lengthwise at regular Intervals. I drew niy knife and gently Inserted It between two of the poles, then de sisted, as at tho most I woulo only prick the Icllow and put I1I111 on hi' guard. Itegnlnlng the floor I moved a roigh table, which t'ruzlur used for riK playing tils trade-goods, close 10 the chimney, and gave the girl nn Iron prod and directed her to mund n Ihe tiihle and pretend to be making an opening throui;ti the roof, ghe neal tnted and asked: "You're going ontf Nle'll be watching the chimney " "There mny be two of 'em." I ahif k my bend and held np a finger and directed her to keep tulk Ing In a loud voice aa aha aaaailed the r.xif Then taking the short rifle and loudlng It I tiptoed to the door and nulielrsidy removed the bar and waited. The girl begun Jabbing the Iron rod between two of the poke and culling down to me to mount the table and help her. Hhe made much nolte .n yet I believed I cnught a fain' sound from over the door. Lifting the door to It would not sag nnd scrape the floor, I worked It open wide enough for me to puss out "The rod's through the roof I cried the glrL At the same t'me a shout rose from the forest I durted through the nor row openlug and whirled about and raised the rifle. One savage was there and bad been on the point ol crawling to the ridge-pole to Investi gate the several Inches of Iron rod showing Uirough the bark when the yell from the woods had warned him to be 00 bis guard. He must have connected the outcry of his friend, wltb the sudden apiuraiice ot the rod, for be was on all foars snd staring over his shoulder to where his friends were In biding. When be saw me the rifle was st my shoulder. He made a convulsive effort to hurl bla ax and mil off the roof, but he was dead before he could throw It. From the Indians' point of view there should bav been hut one thing for them to d return st once with their guns and endeavor to shout as through the loopholes. Luckily for us, tliey were not Inclined 10 rink sny more of their men. I could hear their leader shouting to them, but If he were exhorting them lo charge, they had no heart for It They renewed the attack wltb Ore-arrows. With loose hides. I putched the bare mts as far ss I could rencb while the girl looped rk lust together lo go over the rldue polo. I had Iguored their musket tire but when a small bullet whined close to my head I knew some Indian 01 Frenchman had arrived on the scene wltb a ride, and I lost nn time In Ink Ing cover. "Thut sounds like cannon," said the girl as I closed and made fast the door. "It was title. We must be more careful." "I know a rifle when I bear It Thut's what I mvim, mister." I listened and heard It It was thunder beyond any doubt I opened the door a crock and reunited the heavens. There was no storm In sight "It's up the Monongnhela, I told ber. "It's so far off I fear we won't get even the skirt of It" We oeeded much of It ; not only to drencb the cabin but to cool the air Inside. Wltb (he door closed and the stout shutter In place over the one ainull opeulng that served as a win dow It was blood hot io tbe cabin. Found ' Pleasure Only The American business man, taking his vucutton sbroud. Is one ol the most depressing sights of the ttlvlura, ac cording to Lloyd Morris, writing In Harper'. "I recull an Amvrlcun whom I met on tbe terrace of restuuruht In the hills back of Nice," he suys. "Ills wife bad Inveigled hlin Into taking a winter holiday; It was so much more mart she said, than summer vaca tion. They bad come to the Itlviera for the winter.

And when be added wistfully, The place wus so Inruffcruble from smoke and powder fumes and the heat that I rlaked a chance shot from the forest by removing the shutter and opening the door. The thunder rolled ncroHi the sky sgnlo and tin girl sighed: ' "l.ct s with It's a smart one and will come ilila tvny." I mude her drink some wuter and wltb a pewler ill-li bullied her wrists nnd slim neck. Hlie complained thut I was winding It, and In the next mo ment wus on the point of weeping as she an Id no one hud been kind to ber, except her crippled undo, since ber mother's deulh. I brushed back ber linlr and bathed her fort-head and washed the smoke and grime from ber f 11 ce and tried to be very gi-ntle wltb her. I wus beginning to realize what a slip of a thing she waa to be don tlclpullng In such grim tragedies. I nlr appreciated her oturdy spirit Suddenly she drew awny from ass and rearranged her hair and diffident ly euld: "You've been muster kind to me, uilater. I wish I was a witch, like folks tn (Ireut cove say. I'd change you Into s boss, or a bird, and you'd git cleur of nil this." "Kit here.

"If we gel out ot (Ida. you 'hall have 1 lie gayest pulr ol almei to be found lu Alexandria," I promised, and I thought of Josephine and her love of luxury and wondered how ahe would huve endured the ordeal ol being cor tiered In a trader's cabin at the mouth of Turtle creek. "I ain't used to have folka give me things," ihe gravely told me. "We'll have to think about thut." Then shy ly: "Is Ihut where you wunt me to go? To Alexandria, a reul b!g settle ment?" In truth, I had given no thought as to Just where rlie should go did we escuie. Yet bow could I give ber a pair of shoes In Alexr.idrla If she were not there to receive them? "If I go back there, yes. I have 00 home there now. Like yourself, I am homeless." This pleased her and she snuggled sgaliiHt my knee and murmured: "I in thinking It's mighty good that you're like thut no borne. Yon can build a borne anywhere. All you need Is un sx snd Mine trees. If you'd bid a home, you'd never have come poking round Great cove. Lor e love I What would buve happened to me If you hadn't come along? At Will's creek, too.

Now we'll close the door will's t take look at the woods from the bsck of the cabin. Tbe Indians are too quiet to suit me." I bent down to the loopbole sad Immediately called to ber to make sure tbe bar waa firmly In place. "Another right." she sighed. "And 'we wus having sucb 1 talk!" I heard her reloading ber rifle, but did not remove my eye from the bole. Something was slowly approaching the cabin. For a moment I could not make It out and then glimpse the top of a leather showing shove the strange object Simultaneously wltb my discovery, the Indians be gnn Bring their guns st tbe front of the cabin and yelling. I paid no heed to the gunfire and the ehontlna for the real menace was where the feather bobbed and slowly advanced She elbowed me aside and after a glome Informed me: "They've fastened some of the Skin together and are holding ttcm In front of them.
