F. M. BURKET,

In the olden time Indians did not, as they sometimes do not now, take kindly to immigrants who settled up on their huniing-grounus. Like the Anglo-Saxon, they loved broad aeres, rever d "vested right," and defeuded both agaiust the encroachments of white m?n who belt to The good old mle anl firaple plan. Thai he houkl tute who has the power, And lie should keep who can. The relatiou between tho two was not sueh as ought exist between landlord and tenan. The Indian looked upon the settler ns a "squatter," w bom it was right to ij- et, not only from the latd, but from the

earth. Tbe bold "ten tnt at will" hail

to be constantly on his guard; for a summary "notice of ejectment" might be served at any moment by a pose of painted savages. About the first thing done by a baud of immigrants locating in an ludian country was to build a fort or block house. Then, withiu a mite or less of this refuge, they scattered their log huts. One of these old forts now remain-, though in a ruined condition, and associated with it is a ro mantle story of Troutier life. r . i t i r i . Li.k . I

a prosperous settler but for the many loop-holes cut on encii side. The family who lived in it, several men and one woman, kept It always prepared to receive "company;" for no one coul I tell wh.n the Indians might call. One bright moruing, when not a cloud was to be seen, the men left early to work on the fluids, leaving Betty, the woman, to attend to the fort. For seveial hours nothing dls turbed tho monotony of her work, save her own singing of cheerful thoughts as she went to and fro on her household duties. When scrubbing and washing of dishes h.-d emptied the water-pail,

Woitlsi until the mower had departed two or three rods from the bushes, the Indian nnved noislessly throuch the bushes and crept afU-r the farmer. But with every swing of the scythe, the farmer, glancing cautiously over his left shoulder, had taken in the pos-iiiou of his cat like enemy.

poked her heatl out of the door to see bow fur the team had progressed. To her horror she ?aw a band of Indians oniy a short distunce off making st might for the fort. Not a white man was in eight, for

every one, together with the women and children of the settlement, had been lured by che btauiiful day iuto the fields. In an instant she took in the situation. If she attempted llight, she would be captured before she could run a hundred rods. To be captured was death- the surrender of the fort She would stay in the fort, and alone fight the savages until the men. alarmed by the firing of guns, came to her aid. With a bang the oaken door swung shut, und down went the heavy wooden bar. Ooing from loop-hole to loop-hole, she placed ? loaded musket by each one. Tbe terrible war-whoop startled her for a moment. Then her voice rang out loud aud clear, "Here, Jim. George, Henry, John, Bilil Dou't you bear? Bill, stand by that hole! Jim. you take that gun!" Two guns were fired, ami then the voice called out : "Oeorge, shoot that big Injun! Henry, aim for the chief!Two more bullets went whizzing among the Indiana. They were taken aback. They hau supposed the fort deserted, save by tbe woman. But it was full of men. Another shout, another bullet, and this time it had bit one of thorn. They hesitated to advance. Bullet after bullet whined, and two more men were wounded. They inen turned and fled, and, when the men came running to the fort, the brave woman had scarcely strength to unbar tho door.
