The Stream.

An Indian Romance of the Olden Time in Pennsylvania.

How a Beautiful Indian Maiden Rescued Two Hunters at the Peril of Her Life.

THE HAVNTECI STREAM.

In one of the interior counties of Penn sylvania there lies, embosomed in wooded uplands, 1 sinuous and lovely river, •which, from time immeinoral, ha« *ecn known as the I Iau: fr'd Stream. The Indians accounted for this name by a tra dition that, ages before, a maiden of their race, who had been crossed in love, had cast herselfinto its water, and that, ever 6ince, her spirit might occasionally be seen, hauting its sylvan shores.

Such, at luast, was the legend that a bold and handsome young borderer heard, one bright morning about a century ago, as he stood on the banks of this picturesque river with an Indian companion. The old French had then just broken out, and as frontier settlements •ybfv disturbed with rumors that the hitherto friendly

savages

were about to

assume arms, Lieut. Rochester, for our hero bore a commission in the provincial army, had been dispatched on a scouting expedition in company with a friendly Delaware. "Its a pretty story. War Eagle, wheth er it be true or net,"' said the borderer. "I never saw a lovlier landscape. But hist, what is that?"

As he spoke the faint dip of a paddle was heard, and hardly had the two companions concealed themselves when a light canoe shot into sight around the bend of the river. In a tew minutes the fairv canoe was near enough for Rochester to discern that it was tenated by a young and beautiful female, richly attired in a picturesqe costume. When the canoe was nearlv opposite where the young men lay concealed, a dextrous stroke of the paddle turned its prow shoreward, and immediately after, with a light and graceful step, itsfair occupant leaped ashore.

Rochester was for a moment struck dumb with amazement and admiration, lie had never in all his lite seen anything so beautiful as the vision that now dawned upon him, and for a while he almost beleived that he saw not a living creature but an airly spirit that haunted the spot.

This

ide:i was sustained by lhe extreme fairness of her complexion, which scarcely betokened Indian blood. But the illusion— for such it was—soon faded.

Scarcely

had the mysterious visitant nd-

vanaed half a dozen steps, when she started and slightly screamed Rochester following the direction of her eyes, saw that his companion had emerged from his over!, aid was creeping stealthily toward her with evidently hostile inten tions

At hearing her shriek, the savage leap ed to his feet, and drawing his tomahawk rushed upon her. Rochester dashed forward, but would have been too late, if the Indian beauty had not fled from her assailant, and, by a fortunate chance, taken a direction toward our hero. Thus the savage dare not hurl his weapon lest he should injure his friend. The fugitive, in her terror, did not see Rochester at first, but when she did the instinct or safety caused her to rush unreflecting into his amis, where she lay like a frightened dove, helpless and panting. "Put up your hatchet, Delaware," cried Rochester. "This is my prisoner, and I make no war on women much less." he added mentally, as he gazed on the lovely face silently pleading for protection, "much less on anything so lovely." "My brother speaks well," replied the savage chief, reluctantly. "But the squaw is an enemy, and her people are. perhaps, even now 011 our trail." "What vou say is true enough no doubt," answered Rochester," but I would rather run a dozen risks of being scalped than do harm to such a pretty bird as this. By my faith. War Eagle, she is lovelier than any girl in the settlements. I didn't think your race could show anything so handsome. Who can she be ."r "The War Eagle has heard ot her, for she is the child of his ancient foe. She is called the White Fawn, and is a chieftain's daughter. But the wigwam of her tribe are far from this, and her presence here betokens no good, for where she goes a hundred warriors follow. There will be, or has been, bloody work further down the Susquehanna. The White Fawn is in the rear not in front of the warpath." "You reason rightly, Delaware, said the frank borderer, "but, nevertheless, we Christians hold :t an article of faith not to harm a woman. So, come life or death, I shall free this pretty bird. But first speak to her, if you think she can understand your lingo. Tell her she can go where she lists, and that all that Jack Rochester asks is that she 6hall promise not to betray us*to her people."

During this.colloquy the large, dark eyes of the Indian girl, lustrous as those of an antelope, had been turned from Rochester to War Eagle, and from the latter back to the former. Once or twice when the chief was speaking, she clung closer to our hero, as if she comprehended that the Indian was her foe and the borderer her friend. When Rochester finally announced his intentijn to set her free, her eyes beamed with indescribable thankfulness anticipating War Eagle's speeeh, she pledged herself in broken English to conceal the vicinity of the scouts frqm her people, and, at the same time, expressed, in what Rochester thought the most liquid tones he had ever heard, her gratitude to him as her preserver. "White man will go a way—will forget the Indian girl—but—she will never— never, forget him," 6he said, with tears in her eyes, and as she spoke, she seized hi6 hand^ by

sudden impulse, and kissed it.

Then blushing at herself, she continued with dignity, moving toward her canoe, "The Yenghese br&ve has saved the White Fawn's life, and night and morning she will pray to the Great Spirit for him."

With these words she turned away, and with a quick, light step gained her -£.noe, which in an other moment/ shot into the middle of the stream, propelled by her skillful hand. Rochester watched her with a sigh, till be heard the click of rifle besides him. Turning quickly, he behc' n.mlc r.bout to raise the dcau- .?#$«.•«, a.icl take »in» at the fugitive.

to strike down the'barrel but the savage v/fio mistrusted the Indian girl, expostulated and when the half angry discussion was over, and Rochester looked again at the canoe, the fair fugitive was disappearing behing a bend in the river. She passed from sight, and then the landscape seemed to loose half its charm.

The War Eagle yields his opinion to that of his brother,"because he loves the young man as a son," said the chief. •'But since the squaw was allowed to escape, not a monent is to be lost. Before the sun is an hour older a hundred warriors will be on the trial. Let us go." "There you speak wisely," said Rochester. "Not that I believe, Delaware, yonder girl will betray us, but, since she is here, it is clear that plenty of red-skins are nigh also, and, be sure, they'll scent us out like wolves do deer in winter. Come, bear no malice." and he frankly ex'ended his hand. "You Indians kill women as well as men, but we Christians don't, and as you are serving the commonwealth now, and not the common wealth you, why, chief, you must even fight in its fashion."

If not convinced by the borderer's logic, the Indian was molified by his friendly manner and accordingly he accepted the proffered hand. Immediately after, with a last look at that lovely landscape, Rochester followed his companion, who had struck out at a swinging trot toward the settlements.

All that day the two scouts traveled without resting, taking a southeasterly didirection. When darkness set in they halted and arranged their camp for the night, but did not dare to strike afire fear ing

the

proximity of hostile Indians. A

little jerked venison, which they carried for such emergencies, was their frugal supper and they lay down to sleep, intending, when the moon rose, topiosecute their journey again.

It seemed to Rochester as if he had just fallen into slumber, when he was suddenly aroused by finding his arms pinioned in a hostile grasp. He was awake in an instant, and would l.ave sprung to his feet if the person or persons who held him had not kept him down. He struggled desperately for a moment, but in vain, and was finally forced to sink back, when his captors, for there were two, proceeded to tie his hands behind with green withes. lie now for the first time, looked round him. A little space oft he saw War Eagle in the same plight as himself. But instead of the angry flushed look of Rochester, the face of the Deleware wore an expression ot imperturable calm. "They have stolen on us unheard, we slept so soundly," reflected Rochester. "Not very flattering to 11s, who thought ourselves such good backwoodsmen suppose the bloody demons intend to burn us at the stake, else they would have taken our scalps while asleep. The redskins, too, are of the same tribe as that lovely girl—cursed witch I should rather call her, for she betrayed us but no! I will never believe it—she is too innocent and true for that—it's fate, I suppose, or pre-ordination, as my old father, God bless him, used to say. At any rate, if the worst comes to worst, these red demons shall find that a white man can die as bravely as one of themselves."

While these not very comfortable reflection were being made, the Indians, who appeared to be about 20 in number, had pinioned their two captives, and now by words and signs intimated to the prisoners that they were to retrace their steps. Accordingly, in a few momen'.s, Rochester and War Eagle were threading the mazes of the forest, in the centre of°their captors, some going before in single file, and others following in the same manner

Four davs of severe traveling brought the band to the vicinty of what Rochester supposed to be their native village, tor a halt was ordered, and, after consultation, the savages proceeded to paint himselfand companion, particularv, black. This he knew was a sign that they were to die, and he began to prepare himself mentally for the approaching torture. This ceremony being concluded, the march was resumed, and in a few min utes our nero's expectation that the vil larre was near was realized, for suddenly, as°if a troop of demons had been let loose, the air was filled with shouts, and instantaneously the woods, all around, appeared alive with women, boys, and children, who having been apprised by rumers of the return of the war party, had come out to escort the prisoners in.

We will not tire our readers with a narrative of the scene that ensued. The prisoners endured the buffetings and other indignities with which they were greeted, the one with savage stoicism, the other with heroism. Instead ofbeing led immediately to the stake, however, their sentence "was deterred until the morrow. It seems that another warparty was expected during the night, and the cruel sacrifice was delayed in order that the new-comers might participate in it. Meantime, after the women and children had got tired of gazing at and insulting Rochester and War Eagle, the captives, bound hand and foot, were left in wigwam in the centre of the village, to find solace, if they could, in slumber. As an additional precaution, however, several braves watched about the door.

Till earlv midnight Rochester lay in silence. The reprieve for the night would have been unwelcome, but it afforded him time to prepare for death for he was too sensible of his condition to indulge hope of escape. He had spent several hours in meditation and prayer, when, turning to his companion, he said, in a whisper: "Are you awake, War Eagle "Ugh'" answered the chief in guttural tones. "What would brother have "I would ask your forgiveness, Deleware, for

having

To this burst the chief replied by coolly saying: "The White Fawn is in the village, for 1 saw her, so there can be no doubt of her treachery. But my brother knows best."

Rochester answered her with a groan. Not having himself seen the Indian girl, he had persuaded himself she was absent, and that accident, not treachery, had led to his arrest and that of his campanion. But this evidence was conclusive. For since the White Fawa was really present in camp, yet made no intercession for them, it was plain that she had been false to her promise. "Arc vou quite sure, Deleware said Rochester, at last, clinging, with a strange tenacity, to his desire of exculpating the li.dia* g:rl. "Haven't r,f i"1

the White Fawn's stepsi not to be mistaken," replied the chief. "To-morrow my brother will see her perhaps sh* will even light his'pipe."

Again our hero groaned and t'jen burst forth: "Now may God forgive me, and curse

But here a hand was suddenly laid on his mouth, so that he could not proceed, and immediately alow, sweet voice whispered, "Hist—lie still—I will cut your hands," and, even as it spoke, the withes parted, and Rochester felt both arms and legs free.

He would have sprung up at once to his feet, but the same gentle hand held him down, while the voice continued: "Do not move till I have freed your companion, and then creep silently after me—all depends on caution."

Our hero all this time had vainly striven to recognize the speakc, but the cabin was so dark that only a shadowy form was visible, couched on the ground. He felt certain, however, from the voice, and from the soft, warm little hand, that their unknown friend was a female and his heart throbbed with strange delight at the conviction, for if a woman, who could it be but the White Fawn herself? "Now," whispered the voice again, and he saw the chief at the same moment rise from his recumbent position and assume a creeping attitude, "fol.ow me—cautiously—for if so much as a dry leaf crackles, we are 'ast."

With the words the speaker's shadowyform disappeared through the back of the wigwam and was immediately followed by that of War Eagle. Rochester lost not "a moment in imitating the example thus set, and found t-at the egress was through an aperture which had apparently been either Intely made or had escaped the eyes of the guard. Though now outside the cabin, his guide still continued in a creeping posture, but the night was so dark that our hero could not even yet distinguish the sex of his perserver" He followed in silence, therefore, noticing th '.t whenever a wigwam was approached in which the slightest sounds were heard, both the and the War Eagle crouched flat on the ground, and there remained an undistinguishable shadow until the voice entirely ceased. Moving in this cautious but tardy manner, quite half an hour elapsed before they cleared the camp and gained the shelter of the neighboring forest. During this interval, which seemed an age to Rochester, his heart beat with strange agitation. Every instant he expected to hear the shout which should announce

their flight was discovered and he knew that If this happened before the woods were gained there was no hope.

At last however, they found themselves within the cijvert of the forest and now, for the first time, the unknown guide turned toward Rochester. He started back. It was tne White Fawn that stood before him Then, falling on one knee, as a knight of ancient romance might have done, he took her unresting hand and began to pour forth his thanks.

But the Indinn girl drew it quickly away, and in some embarrassment, then hurriedly said: "White brother, farwell,. The forest maiden has only done tor j-ou what you have already done for her ind in saving your life she but pays back the debt she owes for hers. But you have not a moment to lose," she continued earnestly. "The

young

braves of my tribe are quick

of foot, anu before long they will be on your trail." She had hardly spoken, when a shout rose on the night air, from the direction of the village. "We arc discovered," cried .the Indiaii girl, "all is lost." "Then fly andjeavc us to our fate," answered Rochester, starting to his feet "vou can gain the village undetected. As for us, we must take our chance." "No," cried the Indian girl with generous self-devotion. Ii" I desert you. you are sure to be re-captured, and it shall never be said that the chiefs daughter left any one in extremity." She seemed to reflect a moment, and th'in cried, "Follow me, that is if you still trust me." "Lead on," cried Rochester, "I believe in you as in my mother's purity. War Easle will come also." And lie looked toward the savage, who had remained silent during this rapid conversation, and who now, nodding, followed the White Fawn and our hero with rapid strides.

A few steps brought the fugitives to brook of running water, into which the Indian girl quickly led the way The shouts, meantime, increased, but were leaving the village, showing that the trail had teen struck and that the pursuit was be^un. After moving down the brook fo" a conside.able distance, the chief's daughter suddenly stepped on a shelf of bare rock, and running rapidly along for

strait. Had I taken your advice, perhaps we should not have "been captured. But yet could not but do so again," continued Rochester, as if reasoning with himself. "Murder a woman Never

of a hundred yards, drew aside

some bushes, disclosing the entrance of a narrow cave "Enter," she said quickly. "No one knows ol this refuge save myself, and, as our tral is lost, we can lie here safely concealed." Rochester and his companion entered as she spoke and then closing the bushes, she hurried alter them.

The cave was profoundly dark, but our hero knew, from the quick breathing of the Indian girl, that she was greatly agitated. Nor was it without cause, for the cries of the angry pursuers were fast approaching. In a few minutes shouts were heard, apparently directly overhead, answering the wild whoops from the other side of the stream. It was

clear,

from

this, that the trail had been lost at the point where the Indian girl had entered the brook, and that the savages were beating the shores, on either side, to re cover the traces of the fugitives, The suspense was long, intolerable, for the young braves, instead of hurrying onward returned again and again, li.e baffled hounds, to the vicinity of the cave's mouth, until at last Rochester began to fear that the hiding place was known to some of them, and that they w«*Te searching for it. The chief's daughter began to dread a similar result, for unconsciously she crept closer to our hero's side, laying her hand timidly on his arm as if appealing for protection, her woman's nature for the time triumphing over the heroism to which she had nerved herself during the early part of ttye pursuit. The veins of Rochester thrilled at that gentle touch and seizing the soft, warm little hand, he pressed it to his heart. It was done without thought, nor could he have helped it if his life had paid the forfeit but the Indian girl started like a frightened dove, withdrew her hand from his, and noiselessly moved to the other side of the cavern.

At last the sounds of pursuit died wholly away. As yet the cave wa6 wholly undiscovesed. "Had we not better pursue our journey now? it ic-tt., t.»c

"No, no!" eagerly interrupted the Indian maid. "My wjhite brother will be sure to tall in with some of my father's warriors. We must waif here till the sun comes and goes and then, and not till then, will it be safe to pursue our journey." "The White Fawn speaks like a sage warrior, rot like a giddy squaw," answered Wnr Rag.e, interrupting the exclamation that was on Rochester's lips. "K we go forth now our trail will be certain to be discovered but if we wait till tomorrow ni-jht, by which time the hunt will be abondoned, we may escape." "But what if we are discovered in the meantime? They may burn us out, like foxes in a hole," said" Rochester, impetuously. "I don't care for- myself, but only "lor the White Fawn and I'd rather be roasted to death a dozen times than that a hair of her head should come to ham. If we leave the cave now she can get back in safety to the village and that is the great point after all."

Mv brother's heart is good, but he knows not of hat he speaks. The White Fawn has been missed before now and it is more dangerous for her to return than to go on. We must stay here. And when we go she must accompany us. But War Eagle must make her his daughter,"he added chivalrously, "and she shall never know she had ano'her father."

Rochester said no more. The words of the old chief, truth, had given him a strange pleasure. lie had not thought before, of the necessity of White Fawn becoming a fugitive also, but he saw now that War Eagle was r:ght, and vague, yet happy visions began 10 float before him. He gave himself up unconsciously to these dreams. How long he indulged in them he never knew they gradually faded into a deep sleep, however, from which he was finally aroused by hearing the sounds of weeping at his side. The

gray

light of morning was stealing into the cave, through on aperture in the bushes, and by it he discovered the Indian girl sitting dissolved in tears, while War Eagle, like a bronze statue, gazed immovably at the mouth of tne cave.

Rochester drew i.ear the weeping girl and, aftpr gazing a moment in silence, he said in a kind, gentle voice: "What ails n, sister Does she repent of what she has done If so, say the word, and the white brave will deliver himself up at once."

The face of the White Fawn had been covered with her hands, frem the first moment she had attracted Rochester's attention but now she hastily withdrew them, and clasping him bv the hand as he attempted to rise, forcibly held him. "No, no, no," she said rapidly, "the White Fawn repents not. But her fattier loved her, and she loved the old chief,'' she spoke in a broken voice, "and it is but natural that she should weep. But her brother shall behold her tears no more."

Nor did he. All Ihrough the day. whose hours seemed protracted into ages, and whose unceasing suspense fretted the nerves of even Rochester nearly past endurance, she maintained her composure. A. score of times, during the interval, the fugitives thought their hidin. place was on the point of being discovered for scouting parties was continually abroad in search of the lost trail, aud frequently approached almost to the mouth of the cavern. But nijht, at last, delivered the three from anxiety the shouts of the savage hunters ceased and now the eager fugitives were at liberty to go abroad.

All that r.ight the little party hurried forward. War Eagle leading the van, the White Fawn following, and Rochester bringing up the rear. Their safety depended on the number of leagues placed between them and their foes before morning for their trail would be certain to be discovered soon a iter daylight, when a persuit would be commenced. The nu

Ti­

ber of miles traversed that night by the fugitives would be considered incredible b) one not familliar with the frontier. Their speed, however, saved their lives.' they never heard more of their pursuers: but on the third day reached the border fort from which they had set out, and where they were now welcomed with joy, having been given up for lost.

The Indian maid did not long-remain the adopted daughter of War Eagle, but after a few months took on herself a nearer and holier tie, by becoming Rochester's bride. The wedding took place at. the close of the campaign, during which interval the White Fawn had continued in the fort, where the commandant's ladyhad taken charge of her education, so that when our hero came back to claim her. she was able to add the chatm of civilized accomplishments to the native graces of the forest. When attired in proper costume, she was scarcely recognizable as a child of the wilderness, so delicate was her complexion. Indeed, a lovelier bride was never given away, before or since,, in in that beautiful region.

In later vears, when the settlements had advanced westward, Rochester purchased a tract of land OR the shores of the Haunted Stream, and erected a stately mansion close to the spot where he had first seen the Indian maid. And there to this day, his and her descendants live, prouder of their heroic ancestress and deservedly so, than many an English duke of his Nor nan sires

Argument

The PITTSBURG, CINCINNATI dz ST. LOUIS RAILWAY,

popularly known as

as the "Pan-Handle Route,' in connection with the Pennsylvania Railroad, is materially shorter than any of the iransportation lines competing for through business between the West and commercial cities and popular resorts of the East. This advantage in distance, together with the fact that all the lines embraced in the Pennsylvania system, extending from St. Louis, Louisville, Vincennes| Cincinnati. Indianapolis, Illinois State Line, and Chicago in the west, to Pittsburg, Harrisburg, Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia, and New York in the cast, are virtually under one management, enables the company to offer facilities and present advantages to the traveling public never before equaled. The directness cf ts lines to the East, the speed and reguaritvofits numerous Express trains, the omtbrt found in its celebrated day ane leeping coaches, the recognized super ority of its roadbed and equipment, th beauty of its scenery, and the exclusiv facilities enjoyed at the Main entrance the Exhibition Grounds, Philadelphia where passengers are landed at a Grand Centennial Depot, in close proximity to arge hotels and boardintr housca, entitle
