-r Ti .... . * The Case of Peter Grant By ELLA WHEATON Peter Grant emigrated to the plains when hundreds of thousands of buffaloes were tramping over them, and he went there to hunt them. His oldest boy, Oscar, was uenrly grown, and the two together collected the buffalo hides, that were tanned into robes, which at that time were largely used In winter in place of the present more expensive skins. The father of the family, being a poor sleeper, was accustomed to sleep In a room built ns an addition or whig of bis bouse, where he would he undisturbed by any sound. Since he was accustomed to come and go at will the key to the door of Ills room was kept under the doorstep, that whenever he wished to go to bed be might do so without awakening the rest of the | household. The Grant domteile was located not far from the foothills of the Rockies near where now stands the city of | Denver, which was then a village. The Indians Inhabiting that region were the Utes and the Arapahoes. Both these tribes, especially the latter, were friendly to the whites, but were not very kindly disposed to each other. As late as 1808 the Utps sallied forth from their hunting grounds In the mountains on the warpath to tight their copper colored enemies. One autumn Peter Grant went on a hunting expedition to get meat for the family use during the winter, ife said that he would be gone not over a ! week, and his destination was that beautiful region since called the Gar den of the Gods, in which Colorado 1 City now stands. The week passed, ; and every day the Grant family expected Its head to reappear. But day after day passed, and nothing was 1 heard from him. When two weeks from the time of his appointed return had passed and he did not turn up his son started southward to look for him. Oscar traced his father to the foot of Pikes ; IH-ak. where he lost track of him. But. ! 1 hearing from settlers that a tribe of Indians from New Mexico had raided i that part of Colorado while his father ] wijs hunting there, the boy was forced I to believe that his father had been I captured. He went on southward as j far as Pueblo and. hearing nothing of u captured white man, returned northward. Osear knew that it was the habit of the Indians on capturing a white man to torture him and then kill him, so'be i said nothing to his mother of what he I learned. He simply told her that he had heard nothing of his father and j i hoped that some day he would return j j to them. The winter passed without Grant’s reappearance. Osear continued to hunt | j the buffalo. He desired to complete ! the amount of money his father had fixed upon before returning to the east, and his mother would not leave the j place so long as there was any hope that her husband might be restored to her. A year passed, during which Os car added considerably to the family j assets by the sale of buffalo skins, and be suggested that they go back to the j east The children needed to be edu- I cated. and the older girls were now of j an age when It was hot best that they ; should remain on the frontier. But ] Mrs. Grant had faith that her husband would return, and she could not bear to think of his doing so to find his former home deserted. So she kept put ting off her children from month to month, from season to season. Finally, when two years had gone by since | Grant's departure and there was 110 news of him. her children persuaded I her not, to spend another winter on, j the plains. The family were preparing for their departure when one day n tribe of Indians from the south eatne up on a foray. They were not hostile, had no ; revetigp to take on the whites of the region and seemed bent only on appro I ! printing to themselves what they could j tind. They em-amped near the Grant home and stole everything that wn* not under lock and key, cleaning out all the outhouses, especially the smoke house, in which hung considerable smoked game, consisting of autelofte and venison. The Indians remained hut one day ami night and then turned to retrace i their steps to their southern camping grounds. During the night that they were uliout the place Mrs. Grant thought she heard a sound In the lit- ! tie wing of the house In which her busi hand used to sleep. The key to the door remained where it had always ' lieen kept, and she wondered If any of the prowling redskins had found It and gone into the room. If so, doubtless all the bedclothlng and smaller articles would be appropriated. In the morning after the Indians had gone | she looked for the key, but It was not there. Kite tried the door and found It locked. While she stood wondering at the meaning of this, she heard a voice say: "Who’s there?” “Who's Inside?" "Have the Indians gone?" "Yes." The holt was shot back and the door partly opened, revealing a man dressed and painted like an Indian. Mrs. Grant recoiled, but the mnn caught her in his nrnm. He was tier husband. He had lieen captured by this tribe, adopted and carried into New Mexico. When the tribe came north he came with them and found a convenient bidItg place In his own room.
