The poor man was nearly li antie, and
in pel lect desperation, he dashed along
in llic direction of the nearest staiiou,
not withstanding the little sell lei ncnt vv as
several miles distant. In Lathe had no
ulher alternative. It was hard to leave

the most intense and earnest tones.
At the best, it took nn hour to tra
verse the distance between the cabin
and station and back again, and what
would delay the remorseless savages
from their bloody work for that length
of time? What indeed !
Such distracting thoughts ns these
continually obtruded themselves into
Davis' mind, and almost goaded him to
Madness.
Mean while let us go back to the cabin.
The redskins who had started alter
poor Davis only pursued hima few rods,
and then gave up the chase, and rejoin
the others at the cabin, the door of which
Mis. Davis had so opjKirtunely closed
at the first alarm given.
The savages then commenced a fe
rocious assault upon the doors and
windows all of which were closed
but, thiiiiuh roiiijh and small, tlie cabin
was tiuht and substantial, and lor a
Ions time made but little progress not
withstanding they battered away with
all their might.
For a lime, Mrs. Davis was almost
paralyzed with tenor, and she could do
nothing but weep, and cr' out and hug
her frightened children to her wildly.
"Mu.-t we peiish in this way t" she
cried, in broken, heaiiec'-rr nding tones.
Nl ti.-t I and my childieu be put to

remorseless savages. My poor husband,

I caniM't give up and die without an
dibit, lor that would be sinful. Lord,
ri ve ine strength in this mv hour of
necd, liir to J lice and 1 hee only 1 now
look for aid.
At that moment the door came crash-
ing iu, and the next instant the room
was filled with the yelling savages.
Mi s. Dav is and her children scream-
ed in concert, and the next moment they
were in the jMivvcr of ihe merciless red -
skins.

So thev ninth red meauwhi

pression of joy. In that moment t-very-thin
else vv;is fbrirotteii ; and xvilh a
druukaiil's delirium they gurgled dow n
the fiery fluid. Consequently, in a brief
period not one of ihem could walk
sliaiidil, arid in a very little time longer
the whole pally was down ujkiu ihe
Ih Mir helpless and unconscious.
Time passed, and at length Davis
and his companions neu red the cabin.
" 1 hear nothing : I see nothing !" ex
claimed the limner, gaspingly. "Ob,
God '."he added, wildly, " vv here are
my will- and children? my dear wife
and children ?"
"Oh, I guess they're safe enough!"
responded 1 to- men, encouragingly.
" (iod grant il I God grant ill" cried
the pioneer, as he strained every smew
lo reach the cabin.
ll w as now nearly dark,and surround
ing objects weie beginning to grow in
distinct. In a few moments the party reached
the cabin, Dav is, something in advance,
and as the latter leajied the ihreshhold
into his little home, he uttered a loud,
ear-splitting cry a shriek of agony
and hailed as it' suddenly riveted to the
spot.
A moment, afterwards the others
came up.
No explanation was needed. Before
them lay the mutilated remains of' Mrs.
Davis ami her children, and around
about, the drunken Indians.
The men muttered deep curses be

The pioneers of the great West feel
hut little pity for savages al any time,
more especially under such eircuuistaii-
ces. and no voice was raised aL'ain.-t
Davis' terrible proposition.
" They have wantonly, brutally mur
dered my wile and children !" contin
ued the bereaved settler, "and now I
would but remind me of ihcm. I'll
make
bonfire of it, and in the red
Haines roast their infernal carcasses.
Who will aid me in my vengeance ?"
Every man signified his readiness to
assist in anything.
"Hands and feet, then, we will hind
these drunken devils!" pursued Da-
vis. "If either rouses up, shoot him
ihroimh lb.; he.nt !" he added, imnla-
ctnily.
The half frenzied pioneer procure tl
ropes, and in a little while, without let
or hindrance, the redskins were bound
hand and loot. Then the bodies of
jMior Mrs. Davis and her children were
j taken out and buried by the settler and
j his companions buried there, in the
j great, black finest, by the light of a
