As soon as it was decided that she and Lois should seek safety at Silas Jordan's cabin, three miles down the river, they began preparations to abandon the sod dwelling. They had only Hero on which to make the journey to Jordan's, Mr. Gilbert having taken the horse and wagon. They could not carry many articles with them, but with Lee's assistance they took the precaution to hide some of their best goods in a small, dry cave up in the rocky bluffs behind the shanty. This accomplished, Lois made her mother mount Hero, while she walked beside her, her father's large revolver in her hand. Lee was quite resolve- that Lois shonld ride his pony, and that he should accompany them to tlie shelter of old Jordan's blockhouse. But Mrs. Gilbert would not permit it, as many others needed the warning he was able to give them. “No, no!” she said kindly but firmly. “We will get to Mr. Jordan's all right. Go an<l do your duty, Mr. Hutchins; warn, others and save precious lives if yon can. Your pony is already tired, and you mustn't go a yard out of your way. There are many women and inno cent little ones living over on Plum creek whom you must warn against the coming enemy. Go on, and God bless you and tako care of you." With a wave of the hand the women dismissed him, and there was no alter native for him but to ride off in the di rection of Plum Creek settlement and disturb peaceful homes with the trou blous news which he carried. Mrs. Gilbert and Lois had not pro ceeded far. when the girl halted sudden ly and said: "Mother, we forgot one thing.” “What is that?” “That can of powder, setting under father's bed. If the Indians find that it will put a lot of ammunition in the hands of our enemies.” “That is true, Lois.” “I’ll ran back and hide it with the other things.” Before her mother could reply Lois sped up the little beaten path to the shan ty. It took her only a few moments to conceal the can in the cave; then she hur ried back to Hero's side, and they re sumed their inarch in the direction of old Silas Jordan's cabin down the river. > BE CONTINUED.] If you are a woman and have money to give away, give it to something that will help your own sex.
