CHAPTER VII. IN A DILEMMA.

When Stephen Kondall recovered stomewhat frotn the stroke, ho destroyed the piece of bark lie had found containing the fatal worda, for he did not believe it wine to let his wife know all that •was traimpirlng.

Her passive way led him to believe that she wax not fully aware of his villainy, and a* she did not openly interfere with his affairs, ho did neither argue or consult with her concerning Elsie. "The ravages have met their just fate" the woodman said to his wife, after she had been called to the door to view the dead. "It scorns their errand was to take Hlaie captive," she returned. "Yes, the wrotchon, but «he evaded them somehow. You told me she was in her room, aud she could not have amraped from there, as there is no window."

The woman shook her head. "She wont to bed there after you left, that is all I know about it.'' "These arrows, in the hearts of the Kickapoos, are unliko those I made for the girl's IKJW, so she could have had no hand in this." "Where is Minsi "Sure enough, this must be the work 'Of the Delaware dwarf ho ha.s done this work In our defenso."

Stephen Kendall whon ho expressed those words, knew for a certainty that Minsi had done nothing of the kind, but he wished to have a plausible reason of some kind. "Ho has loft thom at our door," ho ••ontiinicd, "to show his devotion to the family."

Yws" returned the matron, "ho has a great affection for Klsie." Kendall looked up suddenly, but his wife had turned away, and ho could not •catch tho expression on hor face.

The woodman lot tho matter drop there, but be was 111 at ease: he had not tho slightest idea as to who had done tho killing so slleatlr, and knew not In what direction to look for a blow almod &t his own llfo.

When he left his cabin so suddonly the evening before, he wended his wav to Honey Creek, six or more miles south to the camp of the red man, and insdo an arrangement for the abduction of Klsie. Theso four braves would be missed, and what necount could he give of their death, Tho Klckapoos would In all probability look upon it as a treacherous proceeding.

Kendall thought over the matter for sometime, and then concluded to bury the brave* and totally dony knowing anything about what became of thom.

In tho medicine bag of one, he found the small purse of gold, and that he secured, but there was nothing valuable about the persons of any of the others.

The rifle, tomahawk, knife, etc,, of one of the fallen was gone, but otherwise there had besn no plundering of the bodies.

Inking the remains, one at a time, tho woodman conveyed them to a marshy point, where lxst Creek spread out and gave up its identity, and with a spade, hid the bodies frura sight, and In such a wanner that their resting place would scarcely bo discovered.

Just iia lie had finished replacing shrubs and sod, to glvo the surface a natural took, lie was startled by a voice, coming from where, he knew not: "The secret is your own, Stephen Kendall you have tlone your work well wet* "the words which Ml upon his ear in a solemn tone.

The trapper caught up his rifle, and

The strong man trembled. Dlrectlv, bo had had nothing to do with the killing of the Klckapooa, but the deed up the Wabash the night before weighed upon hi* guiltv soul, and he could imagine how the death of the bravo* could belaid to him by any enemy, and bring the whole faction of the tribe at lonev Creek down upon him:

Ssepben Kendall went back to his *hln In an extremely unhappy frame of mind. It seemed that the fates had turned again*! him.

At the door he met another snrorfeo. KMc faced him be stepped upon the ihrt^hold. snd the old, happy K»ok ww* ugttli her tat*,

"You need not start, I heard it all, for I waa upon the root of the cabin, and your whisperings came to me clearly.

"R waa not in the habit of being talked to in that manner, or thwarted in his plana, and yet he did not dare act as his passion suggested, for he stood in fear of bis ward.

He did not know what Elsie had power to do. It seemed to him as if she had supernatural aid, and read in the dark even bis every thought, and witnessed his every action.

The woodman's thoughts turned to Minsi. What had become of the Delaware?

The dwarf had not been seen since he received Elsie's atrow at the door of the cabin, the evening before.

He resolved to go to the red ally's wigwam and And out if the fellow was dead or alive.

Minsi'.i lodge was a portable af&ur, and one waa not always certain where be would be found. Sometimes his skins were stretched into a habitation amid the apple trees that some hand, educated in civilised ways, bad placed on :he summit of the bluff, and other times it would be amid dense bashes on the {lata se that a secret view of the river could be obtained and at still other times, at the base of the blufih, three miles back from the broad water course.

His home was where it best suited Trapper Steve's notion. After the appearance of Red Wolf, the Delaware bad sought some secret ntook, but tlio woodman waa not fully aware of the location. He ltelioved, however, that he would have little trouble in finding it.

Bending a look of affected hatred upon the girl, he stepped into the cabin and began some preparations for departure.

We sav affected hatred, because the forester did not, in his heart, dislike the ward he was a villainous tool in the hands of Cyrus Fielder, and what be did, even to murder, was for gold.

Wisely he remained passive. Casting a few extra bullets, and cleaning bis rifle he started off, as waa his wont, on a bunting expedition.

Elsie, with a smile glowing upon her comely face, watched the man until 'he had got a goodly distance from the cabin, and then sne took her own ride from its resting-place upon the wooden hooks in the wall, and left tho cabin also

CHAPTER VIII. THK CABIN OHOST.

Kendall made his way North through tho belt of woods, occasionally giving a signal call that he knew would be understood by the dwarf should it be beard.

At length, when he had neared a thicket, an answer came to him, and be hastened his stops.

A few minute* later tho confederates came togother. Tho Delaware bad a bandage of soft bark around his bead, and his face bore a haggard look. "I am glad to And you alive, Minsi," tho woodman said, earnestly. "That was a close call you received." "Girl shoot quick aud sure," replied tho dwarf. "Tho arrow pierced your head, did it

Minsi lifted the baud aud showed an ugly scalp wound, dressed with the leaves of wild lettuce. "The skull is not broken, thanks for that," Kendall said, pressing around the wound with the ends of his fingers. "ifouaroMOt too badly hurt for a little work, are you, Minsi

Me strong—head pain, that's all J" "Glad it's no worse, for I have a job for you. Tho white girl at my cabin is like the wildcat, and she most be taken away. I do not wish to have her harmed, but she must be taken away, aud so far that I will uever seeor hearof her again. I want you to go with her, aud will give you this as a reward."

Trapper Steve took from his po«ket the same buckskin bag of gold that he had given to the unfortunate Klckapoos.

Miusi can come back Certainly. I want you to, and then wo will leave this section." 'For the sunrise?"

Yes—to the Muskingum." 'That will please Minsi." 'Of course, for It is your old home. The plan is,, the girl must be bound as she was last night, and taken down the river half a night's rowing on the current will take you to an encampment of red men. Turn the girl over to them and leave."

When is Minsi to go?" After the night has fallen. Come to the cabin when all is still there, and give the crv of the Katy-did, at the door, and I will let you in," "But the white squaw may be like the owl, and not sleep, and, like the panther, —-i.*- "-on us. manage that. I will take all her weapons away. There shall no harm come to Miusi." "The Katy-did will call when tho light has died, and at the cabin window." "That is the time. Have the canoe road v. We must have no mistake this tlmel"

Kendall did not say anything of the fate of the Kickapoos, for foar the Delaware wonld not fancy the part he was to perform, aud after getting the second assurance that Minsi would be on hand promptly, lie turned and nude his way homeward.

Minsi watched him a minute, and then turned on his heel. Neither of the two had any idea that a third party was very near them as they talked, but there ww one who had a step like the cat, and an mr li»e the hound, and that person waa lted Wolf, the Shawn**.

Before Stephen Kendall rwhed his home, anew thought came to him. He bad gone oat for game, but was going back etnpty-banded. Making a tarn, he circuited the woods and gathered a few uimfct.

squt when bo dk) reach \he cabin, everything was as when be iefu Klsie was there, and be did not know that she had reached the house bat a few minutes in advance of himself.

Whether or not ahe knew what

Taking from a pocket in the buntingfrock a small piece of steel, something like a portion of a watch spring, and a piece of smooth, hard wood, the firstnamed article was scratched upon the billet three successive times in measured motion, and the noise produced was an exaet imitation of the chief of the Katydid.

Stephen Kendall heard tbe insectsound, and felt encouraged. Everything seemed favorable for successfully carrying out his plans.

He waited a minute to assure himself again that all was right in the cabin, and then be glided forward and gently opened the door.

A form came through the open casement, but it looked tonim to oe taller and heavier than tbe dwarf.

The moonlight fell upon it for only a seoond, and then tbe door waa closed and all was silent.

An apprehensive fear came over tbe woodman, and he hastened to the bed where his two ritles stood. Seizing one, he turned and whispered "Minsi." .v "I am not Minsi," was the soft return, "I am one from the other world, come to ask for thv sacred trust."

Stephen Kendall trembled, but be drew up his rifle for fatal work, for he had been too well educated in New England to be very superstitious.

Just then a mellow glow of light began to fill the apartment, and a sulphurous odor to pervade the atmosphere.

As the light grew in strength a tall, white figure began to reveal itself, then a face, waxen, but clearly out, could be seen. "Lee Clinton," the cabiu owned gasped clutching at the post of the bedroom door for support. "Yes, your victim you murdered me in cold blood, and I have come back to earth to demand justice for your stricken ward. The dead know all. Elsie Blair has been robbed of her rights by a brother, in Wheeling. Minsi stole tbe child from its home, and you have been

a tool in the hands of Cyrus Fielder long enough. Gold has bought j'our tioul. You have secreted papers thoy are in a small iron box, and 1 bave come to demand that you tell where the box is hiddon."

The solemn voice died, out but, the iigure remained. ,,, "Speak, Stephen Kendall."-

Tbe woodman ralliod. He—on second thought—believed that some trick was being played upon bim, and he drew up his nfle, determined to kill the interlobar where he stood.

_e caught quick but certain aim upon the breast of the figure before him, and pulled the trigger.

A loud, sharp report rang out, but the speetre stood as before, and the solemn voice repeated: "Speak, Stephen Kendall V*

The perspiration began to bozo ont from every pore of the woodman's body. "I am Leo Clinton, and will waft thy breath away if you do not tell the secret," the voice continued.

The trapper rallied again, and catching up his second ritte, he took a seoond certain aim and fired. "Speak, Stephen Kendall. Your balls will not harm a spirit." i?

The figure, tall and white, held Its position. The woodman fell upon his knees he could keep his courage up no longer. "The box is beneath the floor." the victim of fright exclaimed, in a hoarse whisper. "Bring it forth 1" came the hollow,solemn oommand. I

Tbe cabin owner dreaded obedience, and yet he dared not hesitate. That box was a sacred trust and no one, be believed, knew that he possessed it, save himself and Cyrus Fielder.

Trembling in every limb, Trapper Steve crept a few fset from where he had been crouching, and lifted a small section of the puncheon fl#or, then he heaitated again. "Bring it forth," was repeated in an almost supernstural voice, and tbehuinbled villain had to complete tbe work.

A little dirt was removed, and then a small iron box was lifted ont from Its long resting-place, and shoved across the floor toward* the ghost. "Tis well, Stephen Kfcndall,'* the spectre said, slowly. "I will leave you new, but shall come again if you attempt any more of your murderous deeds. Give up the gold and refuse to be a villain longer the day of retribution is

Just then there was an increase of the sulphuric odor, that filled tbe apartment the light raised and fell a few times in it* intensity, then slowly faded ont to tbe wonted darkness.

Tbe wowlman drew himself bsek, cringing as if the very atmosphere was laden with daggers pointed dinx-tly towards his guilty heart, and be did not stop until hm feet toadied the wall of the amall room, and be was Iteneath bis bed*

He did not move again until tbe light of day came to lift tbe terrible gloom that had settled over his soul.

If all had remained silent at tbe «Hn after the strange visitor had left, be might have regained his courage and gone forth, but ft did not remain quiet ftere were heard soft steps upon the floor, and strange noises aboat the room.

Tbe*e, by fear aad the aid of an imaginative miad, were converted into the tread of unearthly objects, and the flappings of white, spectral wing*.

Kendall spent most of the evenings work out of doors, near the cabin. Tb moon afforded him light, and he did not care to be where Elsie was for the relationship tber then bore to each other was not of a pleasant character, as the reader knows.

Finally be went in, and as tbe others had retired be prepared for bed. He set a taper where the light would shine out of tne little window, and left it there until he was convinced that all but if were asieep.

About midnight he crept out of bed and listened at tne door of his ward. She certainly was in a sound sl^ep. He stealthily examined her rifle and fonnd that It remained as he bsd fixed it. The quiver of worthless arrows had not been suspected.

Removing the bar from the door, silently, he dressed himself for action, and pinched out the little wick that was burning in a cup of bear's oil.

A form so closely wrapped in the shad ow of the low trees, that it could scarce lv be told whether man or beast, crept along towards the cabin door. Tbe advance was noiseless and slow. One minute and tbe figure reached the position sought.- With head close to tbe sill it lay quiet a little time as if listening, and then lifted itself partly erect, as if satisfied that all was right.

When the sun's rays stole through the: cracks of the cabin, the ftfcn crawled forth, looking pale and haggard.

His first move was for the open air. He wished to get out where the mornins1 breeae would fan bis fevered brow, ano where he ooald become assured that he was still himself.

As the door was not barred he flung it open quickly, and stepped in mate surprise.

Thore.: upon tbe broad stone that served as a step, lay Minsi, the Delaware dwarf, bound and gagged.

He also bad a bit

his person, upon which were written legible words. Trapper Steve caught it up and read as follows: "Minsi has concluded not to go down the river with me just yet.

KLSIK."

Anew light beamed into the darkened mind of the cabin-owner.

uWasnot

the girl at the bottom of all

the night's procedure?" Then it occurred to him that ueitber his wife or Elsie had made any demonstra tions of fear.

He entered the cabin again to invest! gate, but found, to his renewed perplexity, that Elsie had llown and taken all of her personal effects.

SEEKERS AFTER HEALTH. Unfortunates who are seeking to re new their health, are many. So often have they been deceived by the advertisements of worthless compouads, that manv are discouraged, and refuse to believe"anything they read iu the papers. Therefore, the bpst advertisement of a really good medicine is tbe reputstion it has gained in places where it is being sold. No other remedy ever discovered has grown so rapidly in public favor as that true medicinal tonic called Brown's Iron Bitters. In localities where its extraordinary merits have become fully known ana realized by those who have been in ill health, the sale is unprecedented. One druggist in our city reports the sale of 238 bottles in one week. It 1% indeed, a wonderful, health-giving, lifesaving preparation. It is soothing»and refreshing in its effect and strengthens every part of the body, aud creates a healthy appetite and a healthy digestion, eVen when the system is almost destroyed by the many hurtful cathartics, now so commonly used. Reader, beware! duty demands that you tiy Brown's Iron Bitters, if your health is poor from an^ cause whatever r.-ifV
