c ? I Angus Corbly s Captivity c C A Story of Early Indian Ufa and Advsnturs in the Territory V Northwest of the Ohio River. 5 ; ; 5 j BY A WRITER OF MARSHALL COUNTY.

CHAPTER A. THE SCOTCH KIDNAPERS. When Angus Corbly was eisrht years old he was as braw and bonny and blithe a. lad as ever wore sandy hair in all Scotland. His fond and happy parents thought so and there were many others in the little village not far from Aberdeen to think the same, barring of course their own angelic bairns; and furthermore, there may at this day be seen in a prosperous Indiana factory town an ivory miniature of Angus painted at the very time we are speaking of by a celebrated London artist who, traveling in those parts, was attr:irtnd hv the bov aud made a portrait from pure love ot his - - bright and sonsie face, and this litt?e Dictu re, " cherished by his ! descendants of the fifth genera tion, justifies the admiration bestowed upon the young Angus by all who knew him. He was large and strong tor ins age, shrewd aid quick-witted, with an honest blue eye that saw much, forward and diligent in his stud ies and an accepted leader m all the youthful sports of the neighborhood. Such a boy always deserves a good home and Angus had one, on a cosy little farm umring inhe cheer

fully performed as much work as that dotted the moors all the way his tender years allowed and as to the coast. It was dark again would not interfere with his and raining when the little cornstudies, for he was an only child pany reached the precipitous and his doting parents dreamed clifff at Stonehaven and rapidly of him as a leader at the Aber-'made their way through narrow deen bar in due season. It can-' streets between whitewashed not be said that Angus was a ; houses to a large and gloomy faultless lad and that impression structure c:ose to the sea, where mnct. Tint, o-pt nbroad: he was a ! thev suddenlv stopped and one

I.V VilV V --. -Q - - - A.t V . V W - 7 - healthy, full-blooded boy, and if ' ... ... Vm was hi-?h-sririted and selfwilled, stubborn if you like, he was yet submissive to the guidance of that tender, patient, pious mother whose dear face was ever m his memory through all the trials and sufferings this tale is to describe, and he yield ori r tli o firm fo. Inline of that conscientious Scotch lather for . whom his love and respect was never diminished. When Angus Corbly was eight years old he was suddenly torn from his loving parents and his comfortable home, carried awayT beyond seas by strange and cruel men and thrust relentlessly into an apprenticeship only less miserable than the years of slavery he was destined to endure as a captive among the Indian savages in the forests of America. He never saw his home again and he could only imagine the "yearning grief of his father and mother, to whom his miserable fate was never known. In the evening of that doleful day when for the first time the lad knew serious trouble, he was sturdily and cheerily" making his way along a winding lane, close to his father's farm, when he was set üpon by two rough fellows garbed as sailors and dragged . struggling into a thick copse, his attempted outcries strangled in his throat by the dirty hand of one of the illfavored villains as they hurried him to a secluded spot in the dark and silent wood. Then a pause was made, long enough to stuff a greasy handkerchief into the captive's mouth and bid him end his useless resistance, then the march was resumed as rapidly as the darkness and the broken surface of the country would permit. Sobbing silently and his young heart torn with anguish and apprehension, the brave boy still was watchful and turned over many plans of escape, which meditation, however, .was much, interfered with by the hoarse curses of his companions as he stumbled and sometimes fell over the jagged rocks and fallen branches that lay in the p ath. Soon reaching tho River Dee they embarked in a rude boat that seemed to have been prepared for their coming and for half an hour they drifted rapidly with the current in the deep shadows of lofty hills, landing at last on the opposite bank and proceeding more deliberately into the gloomy recesses of the eastern foothills of the Grampian range.

Toward morning the' stopped. Angus had lost all sense of distance and direction and the oppressive silence in those awful hills begiuuing now to be broken by a pattering rain, the spirit of the boy was shaken and he felt that he was utterly and hopelessly lost. The men easily found shelter under an overhanging rock and the prisoner, now bound hand and foot, was roughly thrown upon the ground while they stretched themselves at full length and fell straightway into deep slumber. Angus thought he would, never sleep again save in the Inst sleep of death, but he did. and when he awoke and his aching bones and burning feet

recalled him to his miserable sit uation his heart sank again and he closed his eyes in a despairing prayer for rescue. The two men were gone but soon returned and produced from a greasy wallet some bread and bacon which they shared with the boy, after releas, ing him from his cords and gagand then the journey was again begun through heavy mist and thick wet brush. For two days they wandered in an indirect course, first among the broken hills then across the moors, sleeping at night in a deserted bothie built for the shelter of shepherds. and carefully avoid ing the flocks of sheep j O ü - ' A. , t V A.J. tapped lightly thrice and then ii.. 3 rr-i once upon the door. They were immediately admitted and the door closed quickly behind them, whereupon Angus found himself subjected to the scrutiny of half a dozen of the roughest rascals he had ever seen in all his life. but frightened though he was he I did not ouail and through the 'dim light, made dimmer by great - . a . i . i i ciouas oi xooacco sraose, ne ga zed at one and another of them in the vain search for a kind look or hopeful word. A hot supper was ordered and presently brought in by a frowzy young woman, who laughed and cursed with the men and insisted that the boy should eat long after his appetite, sharp as it was, was satisfied, and then he was taken up a stairway and left alone in a dark room, the key grating in the lock and the retreating footsteps of the young woman making his olood run cold. Terror-stricKen, yTearning for the tender mother's soothing touch, the young lad advanced fearfullyr toward the center of the chamber and was startled by encountering a bed, though it was the very thing he sought; but he was still more startled and his heart felt as though it had been seized by a vise when the bed seemed to be rising under him and a second voice ai most whispered, "Who's that?" Instantly he felt rather than heard other forms moving in the room and he was speechless with alarm. Another voice was raised, however, this one firm and strong, saying "It's naught but another new boy. Where ye from?" Reassured but still trembling Angus gave the desired information and a little talk disclosed to tie new-comer that there were in that room eleven boys, all kidnapped like himself and all entirely ignorant of what the future might have in store for them. There being some comfort in the companionship even of misery our little captive took olf his wet clothes and found a place or. a rjallet on the floor where he quietly dropped into a sweet and refreshing sleep while the other boys were still talking. With the morning came the opportunity for further acquaintance among the miserable prisoners, who had been gathered together within a . couple of weeks from various points along and near the coast within forty miles of Stonehaven, and who were from eight to sixteen years of age, our hero, being the

youngest though not the smallest. These bereaved and desolate boys remained in confinement in that room for the space of a week without any special incident, except that three others were added to their number; they were fed daily by the young woman already mentioned, who also looked after their health and even mended some of their clothes but would not answer anyT of their questions about their future prospects or the cause of their imprisonment: and they drew brave plans for a forcible escape, in which doors were to be torn from their hirges, the blood of the kidnapers was to flow like water and the whole world was to ring with the stoiy of the depravity of the childstealers and the prowess of their victims. But before these valorous plans could be made ready for action a change came and they were all upset and made useless. One day the woman appeared at an unusual hour and asked four of the boys to go with her, Angus beiug one of the four. As theyr approached the head of the stairway she opened a door and directed two boyrs to pass through which they did, and she locked them in and went down the

stairs with Angus and his remaining companion. in the large room at the bottom sat r man at a table in the act of emptying a mug of ale, a hard, reckless, unkempt knave as ever lived, but to Angus he became beautiful as an angel when he announced that he was ready to conduct the two lads to their homes, warning them under awful penalty to speak not on the way save in answer to him self, which they eagerly promised. They forthwith set out and two light hearts danced with joy upon the journey. The sun shone gaily and lighted the whitewashed houses of Stonehaven, in whose windows were various articles of curious attraction to Angus, such as models of full-rigged ships, living parrots in cages, the jaws of whales and the teeth of walrus and many strange things betokening foreign travel, and the wonderful glistening sea stretched off endlesslyr to the right as they joyously" faced the north. A marvelous path they trod, lying sometimes along the beach and through squat and stinking fishing hamlets close under beetling cliffs and other times hanging in midair on the veryr crest of the crag with . the sea beating and lapping a hundred feet below or winding back to the edge of the moor where sheex were grazing peacefully and stolid shepherds leaned on their staves in calm content. The man and his young charges slept that night in a shepherd's bothie and again the sun rose clear. Late in the afternoon a halt was made to rest. When darkness came and a fog raised from the sea and floated heavily over the land they took the road again and shortly entered Aberdeen, which, in the darkness and approaching it unexpectedly and from an unfamiliar side, Angus did not recognize, and without stop or hesitation proceeded rapidly to the water-front, entered a boat whose four oarsmen rose ivom the pier at their approached, and were rowed to a brig riding at anchor in the offing. The boys were placed on board and conducted to a large room below t,he deck while the boat returned to shore. During the night the rest of the Stonehaven prisoners came by twos and threes and were told to stow themselves and be comfortable in the large but stuffy room where Angus lay with a great suspicion rising in his heart.
