Solomon ' found jlobn Irons and fire of his sons and three of his daughters digging pottftoes and pulling tops in a field near the house. The sky" was clear and the smj, shining warm.

Both his eyes and ' his ear had caught "slgn"-[-a clamor among . the moose birds la the distant bush anq a flock of plgeins flying from the west (?Don't none o' ye stir till . t come back," he sold, -as he turned Into the trail. A ftw rods away he lay down with hlaear to the ground and could -distinctly J hear the tramp of many feet approaching in the distance. He went on a little farther and presently concealed himself in the busbes close to the trall.v He had not long to wait, for soon a red scout .came on ahead or the party. He was a young Hnron brave, his face painted block and yel low, HI# bead was encircled by a snake skin. . A fox's . tall rose above his brow and dropped .back on. his crown. A birch-bark horn hung over his shoulder. vr Jsy. . j ? Solomon stepped out of the bushes , after he had passed and said In the! Huron tongue: "Welcome, my red brother ; I hear that a large band o' yer- folks. is. comln' and we have got a feast feady." The young brave had been startled i by., the sudden appearance of Solomon, but the friendly Word; had reassured him. >i?We are on a long Journey," said the brave. "And the flesh of a fat ox will heipi ye on yer way. Kin ye smell it?" "Brother, It Is like the smell of the great tillage in the Happy Hunting Groungs," Bnl<1 the brave. "We have j traveled three aleeps from the land of the lofQg waters and have had only two porcupines and a. stonll deer to eat We are hungry.l;/ ** "And we would smoke the calumet of peace with you,'; said Solomon. They entered th . house nnd barn und walked around them, and this. In effect, la what Solomon said to him : "I am the chief scout of the Great ffatljer My word Is like that of old Flaipe Tongue ? your mighty chief. Yo^ and your people are on a bad er rand. No good can come of It. You are far from jrotlr own country. A large force is now on your trail. If you rob or kill anyone you will be hnng. We know your plans. A had white chief has brought you here. He has a wooden leg with an Iron ring around the bottom of It. He come down lake In a big boat with you. Night before last you stole two white women." A look of fear and astonishment came upon the fnce of the Indian. "You are a son of the Great Spirit !" he exclaimed. "And I would keep yer feet out o the snare. Let me be yer chief. You | shall have a horse and fifty beaver ' skins and be taken to the border and Bet free, I, the scout of, the Great Father, have said it, and it li be not as 1 1 say, may I never at <5 the Happy Hunting Grounds." ?,? The brave .answered: ; > "My white brother has jjpoken well and he shall be ray chief. I Uke not tbla Journey. I shall bid them to the feast. They will eat and sleep like the gray wolf, for they are hungry and their feet are sore." The brave put his born to his mouth aifd uttered ,a wild cry that rang In the distant hills. Then arose a great whooplncgujl klntecawtng back in the bus^' ' % uron went out to meet the ' band. . Returning soon, he said to Solomon that his chief, the great,' Spytnose, . would have words with blm. , horning, to John Irons, Solomon said a an outlaw chief.. We must treat blm like* a king. I'll bring 'em In. You keep the meat a-slzzlla' 1" ' The scout went with the brave to his chief and made (a speech of welcome, after which tlje wily old SpUtnose^ In his .wonderful headdress of buckskin and eagle feathers, and his band In warfpalnt, followed Salomon to the feast. Silently they .q&d. out of the bush and sat on the' graft's around the Ore. There wefe no captives among them ? ndtae at least of the white skin. Solomon did not betrafr his disap pointment. Not a word was spoken. He and John Irons and bis son began removing the spits from the fire and putting more meat npon'tbem and cut ting the cooked roasts into large pieces and passing it on a big earthen platter. The Indians eagerly seized the hot meat and begax> to- devour It. In 41 tetter Solomon baa thus de scribed the Incident: "It were a band ?f fftitthroat < robbers an' rnnnygades from the Ohio country?

I started to pull the young Huron out o' the ounch. He Jumped up very supple. He wasn't asleep. He had knowed better than to swaller a yard, o' meat. "Whar was the wlmfnen? I knowed that a part o' the fcaftd would be bock In the olsh with them 'ere wimmen. I'd seed suthln' In the trail over by the drownded lands that looked kind 0' neevarjous.

"The white man done, as'he. was told. I spoke English an' mebbe them two Injuns didn't underatan' me. We'll never know. Ol' Red Snout leaned over to pick up his gun, an' he'd made up tils mind to fight. Jack grabbed him. He were stout as a lion an' tore 'way from the bry an' started to pullln' a long 'knife out o' his bootleg. Jack didn't give him time. They had it hammer an' tongs.

Be (had beautiful frink , eyes.and a soft, white lovable body and hie nose wig gled in just the most adorable fashion ever! a rabbtf nose could wlgfcle. Mother Rabbit said to herself: ''Mothers may talk of their babies* and 'of how cunning they are when they! coo and scold and laugfc and giggle and crow.

Now be was tltetfV.And as he rested against his motjtyer, she thought of the days to come, when he would be a big rabbit. '* ' 1 ? She thought at adventtires lie would have. She thought of the lessons she jnu0t teach Him, for every rabbit must go to his mother's rabbit .clasi/ , , ? Or he must go to pome rabbit class, at any rate, and learn what Is good to eat and what Is not so good, what is t; . L ? i' Hit Mother Daarly .Lovtd > Him. i ?

How strange it did seem to think of Bunnie Bonnlte ever%ocoming a grown up rabbit gentleman. Perhaps when lie grew up he would pick out one of,, the charming apart ments In tbe rose brier patch not far away. 7 The Wild Rose . Apartments they were called, and there were two fam ily houses therte, as well as apart ments. A long, long rowof tbem, and they were really lovely, and house keeping there was made easy. It was so safe ? no apartments were any safer. And with' the lease of the apartment the dew-drop water came with It without any extra charge. That was ready every 'morning, quite early. Just when the rabbits were looking forward to a refreshing morn ing drink of dew water ? ther finest water to be had. \ , , . So Mother Rabbit dreamed ahead. And pile knew that Bunnie Bonnie would become famous, and that all the rabbits far and near would be say Inir to eacli other : ' ' "You know Bunnie Boriiile, > don't you? A splendid rabbit chap!. He can do anything. There Isn't a thing In the world lie couldn't 4o. and that's the truth." ' < Mother Hahhlt could r'.most hear them saying these things now. She didn't quite know what famous things itunnle Bonnie would do, but she knew lie would do tliem. and "she put her face close down by the face of her dear little son's anil snld: "Only never take foolish chances, my son. for tliey are only foolhardy, and the really brave are never fool hardy."
