C. F. WILLIAMS,

_ „ a |*ilcstal and proclaim him that is perfect; rather wc keep clear of his heels and teeth respectively until wo know something of the brute's idiosynenudes. One lias to do the same with Indians. Be thoroughly on yonr guard until you have jiroved that they can b trusted, and dotn trust them then. Mi Mclvor had the most supreme contempt for them—a contempt which he never

tried to hide. Ho used to say:

"They are cowards, arrant cowards, id are afraid o’ you. e'en like a dog." It was not long after my arrival that 1 ad a sort of adventure which gave great sport to the other clerks, and even Mr. Mclvor himself would occasianally

make joking allnxion* to it.

There was a river running about 100 yards front toe store; it was deep and fairly swift. One day at I was working in the store I beard a scream which appeared to come from the river. I ran out and down to the bank, from where I saw an old woman straggling In the water; she had been fishing and her canoe had upset. ' There were about a dozen Indians looking on, but they only I laughed and made not the slightest 1 movement toward helping her. Indiana. | as a rale, are cruel to the old. They look upon them as incumbrances from I which they are not sorry if an accident j relieve* them. I saw that this poor old ! thing was in distress and likely to be ’ drowned, so 1 jumped into the river and ! swam out to her assistance, not before. ; however, relieving my mind by abusing soundly the men who wonld cheerfully j have let her sink before their eyes. It ' was no difficult task to bring the poor | old thing ashore, and 'when I had done so the poor creature followed me as I | walked toward Up bouse, crying in

my dog." (Wetidigo giant, something tine. •Get the wendigo to pay yon," said Mr. .Mclvor. langhing, and again the man slunk tiff. Mr. Mclvor knew the Indian nature well, and be said to me: •That old fellow is up to some devilTit. That's what tiny always do when they want to do an evil trick themselves: pretend that some one else is going to do We had better keep n watch on the place; he might set fire to it." We watched that night, bnt notldng unusual occurred. After dinner next ty. as I was endeavoring to recuperate Mt from night, watching by a short snooze. 1 luvame aware of a presence, and ojiening my eyes saw my old woman standing over me, with her finger on her lip* to enjoin silence. When she saw that I was awake she whispered hurriedly: ■ -Bun! Indians going to loll trader, kill all white people in the store. Match-ee-ninie keep trader's wife. You good to old womans Run!" Atfrl UteoUl woman, easting ap anxious look at the door, hobbled away as fast as

she could.

1 did run. but it was to Mr. Mclvor, who was at that moment walking down to the store with his wife. I breathlessly related to Mr. Mclvor as nearly as I rould remember them the words of the old woman. “There's something in it." lie said, "and we must be prepared for them. Let ns look for onr gnu*. The loons mean btudness." His wife, who had beard all. looked frightened, and he turned to her raying: ■•Which is it. Maggie? Wi' to. or at

the house?"

‘•With yon, John, till the demt'i." she answered boldly. He gave her a look of admirati n and affection, and hastily rose to Coll load our arm* But we were too late: while w talking in the office the store had ■:Icntly filled with Indians, their face* , inister and threatening as they stood ranged _ against the high counter. So iubut had we b<>en on tha'diurmsdon that ‘ * not heard the soft tread of their ined feet, and there we stood, fairly caught, face to face with death.

and putting his arm around her waist be said: Lave come. I believe, to kill me!" answered Matrh-ee-ninie, "to killed my dog." All right." answered Mr. Mclvor coolly; "but surely we may a* well take smoke before you kill." Whether the Indians were swayed by the force of a superior will, or whether they were themselves glad to put off a tragedy which they had pledged them•rives to |*iform. 1 cannot *ay: lint they cheerfully complied with the request, and each producing his pipe leisurely filled it and commenced to smoke, as if they bad come there for nothing else. In the meanwhile Mr. Mclvor had quiet- ' iy drawn toward him a small keg of gunpowder containing aUmt twenty-five lumnds. He deftly removed the bead; then taking a candle and lighting it with the same match with which he lit hit pi|ie he thrust it down into the powder to within two incite* of the flame: So quietly had he done thl* that the Indians. who were at the motn-nt engaged in lighting their pipes, did not notice it. It was a solemn kind of a smoke. Not another word was spoken on either side. The only thing tliat woke the dead silenrr was the occasional “puff, jraff" of jape tliat would not draw. I watched the candle with a kind of fascination and saw an inch burn a?ay. I was fear- ' fnl lest a sjark should drop from it, and thus rob u* of onr full two inch,* of life; lint the candle burned steadily on. There was bnt half an inch left. I remember that I wondered if tho plover* had begun to make their nest* the utarabes at home; if my lirotber Charley had cotuc home f.ir the Easter holiday*, and if he wonld know wh.-re the migle thniah always built her u sd in the Mg elm tree; tint my reveries wen- broken by a movement among tbe Indians and a mattered "non-gum." meaning now.

The movement atlraeted the attention of the Indian*, and they now for the first time comprehended the sitnntion. A minute later there wjj not an Indian in tie- store. They had gone out a* silently and suddenly as they had route in. leaving us in sole poasemion. but with the caudl- hunting dangerously near the powder. Mr. jiclvor now carefully approached the keg. and with a steady hand raiw-d the candle from its dangi-rons candlestick. Not one moment too Msm. for scarcely had lie lifted it clear off the keg when the few grains of powder which hail adhered to it came in contact with tho flame and were ignited; but we were saved. revulsion of feeling took ipletrly out of my legs, and 1 sat diiwnfflalfileiialy <» a Ixix, until nice of Mr. MctHc^rdoring me to shut the door and locktKrecallcd me to my senses.

"Will ic come around, dy'e think?" he asked t a tone of intense anxiety. There was o need to answer him. fur Mr*.

Can it therefore be wondered at that I prize her memory, especially as in her I have found through long experience the one military exception to the treacherous ingratitude of the North American Indians? Shortly after these events Mr. Mclvor received charge of a district on the borders of civilization. Nothing would do but that I should accompany him to his new charge, and so favorably did he reJiort of me to headquarter* that I rose rapidly in the service, and ere many year, hail passed was in charge of a district of my own.—C.
